  • Patent number: 11199268
    Abstract: A regulator performing fluid control includes an annular protruding portion having a valve seat on its leading end and an annular diameter-decreasing surface formed by decreasing an inner diameter of the annular protruding portion toward a valve hole. The regulator includes a valve element provided with a contact surface to be in contact with the valve seat and a columnar step portion provided on an inner peripheral side of the valve seat protruding from the contact surface toward the valve hole, the step portion having a diameter larger than an inner diameter of the valve hole and being coaxially formed with the valve hole. An annular ridge is formed by an outer peripheral surface of the step portion intersecting an end face of the step portion on the valve-hole side with the annular diameter-decreasing surface to constitute a passage narrowing portion.

  • Patent number: 11118690
    Abstract: A fluid control valve and manufacturing method thereof, wherein, when a pressing force acts on the engagement surface between a diaphragm member and a valve seat-contacting member, the valve seat-contacting member is not displaced and no gap is formed. The diaphragm member made of a first fluorine-based resin material is provided with a diaphragm membrane and a rod-shaped part in the center of the diaphragm membrane. The valve seat-contacting member made of an injection-moldable second fluorine-based resin material is provided with a ring-shaped sealing surface and a recess on the opposite side from the ring-shaped sealing surface. The rod-shaped part is partly fitted into the recess. A ring-shaped recessed is formed on outer circumference of a portion of the rod-shaped part. A small diameter recess is formed on the inner circumference of the recess. The ring-shaped recess section and the small diameter recess adhere closely to form the engagement surface.

  • Publication number: 20180355983
    Abstract: A diaphragm valve includes a first valve housing, a diaphragm, a drive member, and a second valve housing. The diaphragm has a second abutting surface opposed to a first abutting surface, and a sealing portion formed on a position surrounding a second abutting surface. The diaphragm has an elastic coupling portion that elastically deforms and couples the second abutting surface to the sealing portion to cause the second abutting surface to move to a side of the first valve housing with respect to the sealing portion. The elastic coupling portion has a concave curved surface having a curved surface shape that is concave to a side of the second valve housing. The second valve housing has a supporting portion having a second convex curved surface having a curved surface shape that is convex to a side of the elastic coupling portion on a position opposed to the concave curved surface.
