  • Publication number: 20130193230
    Abstract: A liquid control apparatus 30 controls a spread mode of a liquid. The liquid control apparatus 30 includes a main body 31 having an upper surface 31c to which the liquid is supplied, and a mesh 47 knitted in a net-like shape and provided to be in contact with the upper surface 31c. An inhibiting groove 41 is provided in the upper surface 31c in a portion that is in contact with the mesh 47. An introducing port 33b for introducing a gas from the inside of the main body 31 into the inhibiting groove 41 is provided in the main body 31. The introducing port 33b is formed such that the gas is introduced into the inhibiting groove 41 substantially parallel to the upper surface 31c.

  • Publication number: 20130140480
    Abstract: A fluid control valve includes: a resin valve main body including inlet and outlet ports in opposite side surfaces, a valve chamber communicating between the inlet and outlet ports and opening at the upper surface center of the main body, and a valve seat provided in an inner wall of the chamber; a valve element movable into or out of contact with the valve seat; and a valve upper body including a drive part to drive the valve element. An inflow passage is formed like an L shape extending through the inner wall to communicate between the inlet port and the chamber via the valve seat. The inner wall is cylindrical having a thick-wall portion to have a wall thickness thicker on the inlet port side than on the outlet port side. The valve main body is provided, at a center of a lower surface, with a resin injected part.

  • Publication number: 20130142675
    Abstract: In a fluid control device, a valve body is prevented from being pressed forcefully against a valve seat or the like, and an excessive load is prevented from acting on a motor. A flow rate adjustment device includes a first engagement portion, and a second engagement portion that is capable of moving relative to the first engagement portion and transmitting and receiving rotary force. The flow rate adjustment device includes a valve body that adjusts an opening of a flow passage, and a rod that is coupled to the valve body. The flow rate adjustment device further includes a male screw portion and a female screw portion that are intermeshed so as to be fed relative to each other in the axial direction, a projecting portion that restricts movement of the second engagement portion, and a first cylinder that restricts movement of the rod.

  • Publication number: 20130081712
    Abstract: A liquid control apparatus that controls a spread of a liquid has a main body that has a supply subject surface onto which the liquid is supplied. The apparatus also has a mesh form body that is woven into a mesh form and provided to contact the supply subject surface. A heater that heats the supply subject surface is provided in an interior of the main body. A supply port is provided in the main body to supply the liquid from the interior of the main body to a part of the supply subject surface contacted by the mesh form body. A groove is provided in the supply subject surface to suppress spreading of the liquid from the supply port to a side opposite to the heater in an expanse direction of the supply subject surface.
