Patent number: 9074702Abstract: A linear type flow control valve includes a spool valve element fitted in a valve housing, and having a characteristic of an output flow rate such that a positive output flow rate increases after a negative output flow rate decreases toward zero and pass a neutral point on which the output flow is zero with an increase of the shifting stroke of the spool valve element. The flow control valve includes a damper chamber and a restricting section. The restricting section forms a restricting flow passage having a larger flowing cross-sectional area of the working fluid when the spool valve element assumes a shift position on a positive output flow rate side of the neutral point of the spool valve element than that when the spool valve element assumes a shift position on a negative output flow rate side.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventor: Masaru Morise
