  • Patent number: 11976748
    Abstract: A diaphragm valve includes a body (3) having a flow path (2), a seat (4) formed in the flow path (2), a metal diaphragm (5) for opening and closing the flow path (2), a pair of clamping parts (6) and (7) for claiming peripheral edge portions of the metal diaphragm (5) to fix the metal diaphragm (5) to the body (3), and an actuator (8) for abutting the metal diaphragm (5) to the seat (4) or separating the metal diaphragm from the seat (4), wherein a fluorine resin coating is formed on a seat side surface (5a) of the metal diaphragm (5) at least in a contact region (B-A) with the seat (4) in a region (C) surrounded by a clamping region (D-C) between the seat side surface (5a) and one of the pair of clamping portions (6, 7), excluding the clamping region (D-C).

  • Publication number: 20230359228
    Abstract: A flow rate control device 100 includes a control valve 6 provided in a flow path 1, a flow rate measurement unit 2, 3 for measuring fluid flow rate controlled by the control valve 6, and a controller 7. The controller 7 is configured so as to control the opening/closing operation of the control valve 6 to match the measurement integral flow rate based on the signal outputted from the flow rate measurement unit (Vn+Vd) to the target integral flow rate Vs.

  • Publication number: 20230129479
    Abstract: A flow rate control device (8) includes a control valve (6) having a valve element and a piezoelectric element for moving the valve element, and an arithmetic processing circuit (7) for controlling an operation of the control valve, wherein the arithmetic processing circuit is configured to receive an external command signal SE corresponding to a target flow rate when opening the control valve from a closed state so that a gas flows at the target flow rate, and to generate an internal command signal E1 output to a driving circuit for determining a voltage applied to the piezoelectric element based on the external command signal, the internal command signal is a signal that rises with time from zero and converges to a value of the external command signal, and is generated such that a slope at the time of initial rise and a slope immediately before convergence are smaller than a slope therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20230011244
    Abstract: A pressure control device 20 includes a pressure control valve 25, a flow resistance 23 provided downstream of the pressure control valve, for restricting a gas flow, a first pressure sensor 21 for measuring a gas pressure between the pressure control valve and the flow resistance, a second pressure sensor 22 for measuring a gas pressure downstream of the flow resistance, and an arithmetic control circuit 26 connected to the first pressure sensor and the second pressure sensor. The pressure control device is configured to control the gas pressure downstream of the flow resistance by adjusting an opening degree of the pressure control valve based on an output of the second pressure sensor regardless of an output of the first pressure sensor control, and calculate the flow rate of the gas downstream of the flow resistance based on the output of the first pressure sensor and the output of the second pressure sensor.
