  • Patent number: 11421800
    Abstract: To provide a flow rate regulating valve capable of detecting a state where a flow path is fully closed even when there is no lead wire or the like for detecting the state where the flow path is fully closed. A flow rate regulating valve is a fluid regulating valve including a valve body for opening and closing fluid flow paths provided in a body and includes an actuator unit for moving the valve body, and the actuator unit includes a drive motor, a slider moved by a rotation of the motor, a cylindrical body mounted on the slider, and a shaft interlocked with the cylindrical body and provided with the valve body fixed to a distal end thereof. The motor is a stepping servomotor, and has a pressing control function for moving the valve body in the closing direction at a continuous rated torque.

  • Patent number: 10221964
    Abstract: A valve having a simple configuration that prevents the seat from being damaged by self-excited oscillation of the valve body and thus prevents seat leakage. The valve includes a valve casing having a fluid inlet, a fluid outlet, and a valve chamber; the valve chamber including a seat having a seat surface; a stem inserted into the valve casing so that the stem can be vertically movable; and a valve body arranged at a tip of the stem and capable of abutting on the seat surface of the seat due to the vertical movement of the stem such that a tip part of the valve body does not come into contact with the seat surface due to oscillation of the stem.
