  • Patent number: 10385998
    Abstract: Passage members each have a required width, a required height, and a required length, and are provided at middle portions in the width direction with fluid passages, respectively. As coupling means, two bolts are used. The middle portion in the width direction of each of the passage members has opposite end portions that are each provided with a female screw and a bolt insertion hole to be faced by the female screw, respectively. The upper bolt is inserted into one of the passage members and is screwed into the female screw of the other passage member. The lower bolt is inserted into the other passage member and is screwed into the female screw of the one of the passage members. The passage members are coupled with use of the two upper and lower bolts whereby a seal member is securely fixed.

  • Patent number: 9625047
    Abstract: A flow control valve for a flow controller includes a valve main body provided with an open-top valve chamber hole, a metal diaphragm valve element, a lower support cylinder having notches facing each other, an upper support cylinder attached to the lower support cylinder, a support frame horizontally disposed through the notches of the lower support cylinder, a disc spring placed between the support frame and a bottom of the lower support cylinder, a lower cradle placed on the support frame, a piezoelectric element inserted into the support cylinder above the lower cradle, a guide fixed to the valve main body together with the support frame with the support cylinder being inserted through the guide cylinder in a vertically movable manner. The support cylinder is pressed upward by the extension of the piezoelectric element, whereby the metal diaphragm valve element is separated from the valve seat by the elastic force.

  • Patent number: 9163748
    Abstract: This invention provides a fluid control device capable of making compact a fluid control device in which a valve and a limit switch are combined. A valve 6 includes a piston 26 as a moving member which includes a protruding portion protruding from an opening of a casing 21, and which linearly moves according to opening and closing of the valve 6 so as to abut against a limit switch 7. The limit switch 7 is made to face the piston 26 and is attached via a limit switch positioning unit 8 so as to be adjustable about its position. The limit switch positioning unit 8 includes a first bolt 42 fixed to a body 2, a second bolt 43 fixed to the limit switch 7, and a connection screw 44 which connects both the bolts 42, 43. The first bolt 42 and the second bolt 43 have different pitches from each other.
