  • Publication number: 20230304583
    Abstract: In a flow rate control valve, a valve seat includes an annular base part and an annular seal part provided on the inner periphery thereof. A body includes a contact surface with which an end of the base part in the axial direction contacts and a press-fit surface against which the outer peripheral surface of the base part is press-fitted. The seal part includes: a seat surface at an end on an opposite side to the contact surface in the axial direction to contact a valve element to seal between the valve seat and the valve element in a valve closed state; and a valve-seat-to-body sealing portion protruding toward the contact surface more than the base part at an end on the side of the contact surface in the axial direction and contacting the contact surface to seal between the valve seat and the body.

  • Patent number: 11396064
    Abstract: A welding structure includes, in a cross-section of the first member and the second member when they are seen from an axial direction of the insertion hole, a plurality of welding spots, an outer periphery of the welding spots are each formed with a curve-shaped portion and two side-face portions. When two intersections where the outer side-face portion on the outer periphery of the both-end welding spots and the outer periphery of the second member intersect are defined as a first intersection and a second intersection, a weld angle formed by a first linear line linking the first intersection with a sectional center of the second member and a second linear line linking the second intersection with the sectional center of the second member is set to a first predetermined angle or more.

  • Publication number: 20170130862
    Abstract: A pressure reducing valve includes a valve seat, a valve element configured to contact with or separate from the valve seat to close or open a flow passage, a piston to move the valve element into or out of contact with the valve seat, and a spring urging the piston in a valve opening direction of the valve element. The pressure reducing valve further includes a rattling prevention part for preventing rattling which may occur between the piston and the spring due to unevenness of a polished surface of the spring.

  • Patent number: 8844582
    Abstract: A delivery pipe is molded of resin and internally formed with a fuel passage. The delivery pipe has a shape of cross section including a single straight part, a single curved part, and joint parts at joints between ends of the straight part and the curved part. The joint part has an outer appearance protruding outward. The resin contains reinforcing glass fibers. A corresponding portion to a resin injection gate is located at an end region of the straight part in a longitudinal direction of the fuel passage.
