  • Patent number: 8434506
    Abstract: A flow control valve in which corrosion is less likely to occur in the vicinity of a radial step portion in a gas passage of a housing and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. A flow control valve includes: a housing formed with a gas passage including a first cylinder member accommodating portion, a second cylinder member accommodating portion, and a radial step portion; a first cylinder member accommodated in the first cylinder member accommodating portion; a second cylinder member accommodated in the second cylinder member accommodating portion; and a valve body that is rotatably arranged inside the first cylinder member and the second cylinder member in the radial direction. The housing is formed of cast iron. At least surfaces of the first cylinder member and the second cylinder member are formed of a highly corrosion resistant material.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7328679
    Abstract: A valve guide structure is provided which can suppress deterioration of a valve guide even if radial stress is applied on an upper portion of a stem of a valve. The valve guide structure is such that the stem 2 of the valve 1 is supported by an inner peripheral surface of the valve guide 16 to restrict moving directions of the valve 1. A recess 18 is formed on an inner peripheral surface of the valve guide 16 and extends downwardly from an upper end of the valve guide 16 along the stem 2 of the valve 1 so as to provide a clearance between the valve guide 16 and the stem 2 of the valve 1.

  • Patent number: 6394071
    Abstract: There are provided with a plurality of injection nozzles one ends of which are respectively inserted into a cylinder head every cylinder and other ends of which are covered with a cylinder head cover. A single common rail provided in parallel with a crankshaft is connected to a fuel injection pump through a first fuel pipe and connected to each injection nozzle through a plurality of second fuel pipes. The common rail is housed in the cylinder head cover, the front end of a first short pipe protruded from the common rail faces a first insertion portion formed in the sidewall of the cylinder head, and the first fuel pipe is connected to the first short pipe through the first insertion portion. Thereby, it is possible to decrease a fuel supply system using the common rail in weight and cost and improve the outside quality.
