  • Patent number: 9983599
    Abstract: A pressure reducing valve includes a partition member. The partition member separates a valve chamber and a pressure regulating chamber from each other and has a communication hole for ensuring communication between the valve chamber and the pressure regulating chamber. A valve body has a body portion, which is located in the valve chamber, and a rod section, which extends from the body portion. The rod section extends to the pressure regulating chamber through the communication hole. A communication line is arranged between a peripheral wall of the communication hole and the rod section. The partition member has an annular groove in the peripheral wall of the communication hole. The groove extends along the full circumference of the communication hole.

  • Publication number: 20180074529
    Abstract: A pressure-reducing valve includes a valve chamber, a pressure regulating chamber, a partition member, which has a communication hole, and a valve body. The partition member includes the communication hole and a valve seat. The valve body includes a body portion and a rod portion. The valve seat includes a plurality of inclined surfaces, which have different inclination angles with respect to the central axis of the valve body. The circumference wall of the communication hole and the valve seat are connected by a coupling portion. The inclination angle of the valve seat is varied discretely such that the valve seat comes into contact with the valve body at a position more that is further the radially outward from the central axis of the valve body than the coupling portion.
