  • Patent number: 7357153
    Abstract: A first valve chest 241 formed integrally with a lid 2 of a high-pressure gas cylinder, a first valve element 5, a spring 6, a second valve chest 32, a second valve element 7, a spring 8 and a main body 8 are all formed in a rotor-shape, and in addition to arranging their axis lines on the same axis lime, flow channels 56, 35 and 76 are arranged on said axis line. By forming each part in a rotor-shape and adjusting the vibration directions of the valve elements 5 and 7 to the same direction, miniaturization is contemplated while suppressing loads generated by vibration. This invention is to provide a compact two-step pressure-reducing valve usable for a long term.

  • Patent number: 7225810
    Abstract: An on-off valve mounted in a high pressurized gas container, which has a holding portion for holding a flow amount controlling member in a path formed in an upper stream side of the body of the valve, and in which a flow amount controlling member is movably held. In the flow amount controlling member, an orifice is formed. When the valve moves into an opening position, a high pressurized oxygen gas is flowed into a valve chamber by gas pressure, the flow amount controlling member moves and closes the path. At this time, the gas flow amount is restricted by the orifice, so that the pressurizing speed of the gas pressure at the down stream side of the orifice becomes slow and then heat generation due to the adiabatic compression is reduced.

  • Patent number: 6910602
    Abstract: A container valve, attached to a gas container, wherein the container valve has a pressure reducing function, and is inside a valve block in the gas container. In the valve block, the container valve comprises a gas filling passage in which a filling valve is installed, a gas lead-out passage in which a lead-out valve is installed, and a pressure regulator arranged at an upstream side of the lead-out valve in the gas lead-out passage. The container valve can safely supply gas under a reduced pressure for use by opening the container valve of a container whose pressure is high and gas can be filled easily into the container. The container valve can be miniaturized and the purging operation for supplying high purity gas can be performed.

  • Patent number: 6685164
    Abstract: The control valve according to the present invention has a high durability, so that the valve is not easily damaged even in case that the valve is provided in a corrosion gas current path. The valve has a construction such that a diaphragm (4) is contained in the valve body (2), which has a valve chamber (23) between the gas current in path (25) and the gas current out path (26). The diaphragm 4 is urged against an opening (252) formed in the center of the valve seat 231 in the valve chamber (23) to open and close the opening. The valve has a valve control member (5), which has a clamping member (3) to clamp the diaphragm and is made to contact to the diaphragm from outside to open and close the opening. The diaphragm has an urging member (41) made of ceramic, which is fixed to the opening (252) side of the diaphragm so that the resistance to corrosion of the diaphragm is improved.

  • Patent number: 6367499
    Abstract: A safety valve has a valve body, a piston contained in the valve body, a soluble alloy filled between said piston and said valve body, and a spring inserted between the piston and the valve body. The piston includes a path connecting both ends thereof, and has a first gas pressure receiving surface and a second gas pressure receiving surface at both ends. The first and second gas pressure receiving surfaces have the same area; the piston works as a balanced piston where the gas pressure in the fuel tank functions in reverse directions. As a result, no gas pressure is applied to the soluble alloy but only the energizing force of the spring is applied. Therefore, the pressure applied to the soluble alloy can be kept constant without regard to the increase of the gas pressure.
