Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はコイルばねを備えた液圧調整弁に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
コイルばねを収容し、コイルばねでスプールを流入口側へ付勢する液圧調整弁が知られている(例えば特許文献1参照。)。特許文献1の図5に記載のアキュムレータピストン(液圧調整弁)は自動車の自動変速機の油圧制御に使用されるものである。特許文献1の図5に記載の液圧調整弁は、通常はコイルばねとしてのリターンスプリングによってスプールとしてのアキュムレータピストン本体がポート(流入口)側に付勢されてポートを閉塞する。ポートから油圧が導入されるとスプールがコイルばねを圧縮させて油圧の一部を蓄圧し、これにより油圧の立ち上がりを滑らかにして変速時のショックを緩和している。特許文献1の図5に記載の液圧調整弁のスプールは内周が仕切られた円筒状に形成され、コイルばねの一端部はスプールの背圧室に収容されている。高圧の油圧が導入されると、スプールの円筒を形成する筒部はコイルばねとハウジングとの間を往復移動方向に往復移動する。従ってコイルばねとハウジングとの間には筒部の厚み以上の間隔が設けられている。
【0003】

【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の液圧調整弁によると、コイルばねとハウジングとの間に間隔が設けられるため、圧縮の際にコイルばねがその間隔を利用して座屈するという問題がある。スプールは流入口から導入される高圧の油圧によって反流入口側へ移動する。このときコイルばねにはスプールから受ける反流入口側に向く力と、反力によってハウジングから受ける流入口側に向く力とが作用し、コイルばねはその力によって圧縮される。このときコイルばねに作用する力のバランスが崩れると、その力はコイルばねを座屈させる方向に働くことになる。コイルばねが座屈するとスプールの筒部は座屈したコイルばねに当接して反流入口側への移動が妨げられ、そのため液圧調整弁は変速時の衝撃を十分に緩和できなくなる。
【0005】
また、従来の液圧調整弁によると、スプールの体格が大きくなるという問題もある。スプールはその底部が予め決められた範囲で往復移動するよう設計される。従来の液圧調整弁は筒部が収容室の底壁部に当接することで反流入口側への移動が規制される。筒部が収容室の底壁部に当接したとき、コイルばねの長さは最小作動長となり、コイルばねはその全体が筒部に収容される。すなわち従来の液圧調整弁では筒部をコイルばねの最小作動長と同じ長さにしなければならない。
このため従来の液圧調整弁では、筒部の長さをコイルばねの最小作動長より短くできないのでスプールの体格が大きくなる。
【0006】
本発明は、かかる問題に鑑みて創作されたものであって、コイルばねの座屈を防止できる液圧調整弁を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項1記載の発明によると、コイルばねは、筒部に収容されている一端部については座屈させる力が働いても筒部の内周壁に当接して座屈が防止される。他端部についても同様に座屈防止部に当接して座屈が防止される。コイルばねにおいて当接できるものがない部分、すなわち両端部の間にある中間部分は座屈可能ではあるものの、両端部が筒部又は座屈防止部に当接することで、座屈防止部を備えない場合に比べて中間部分の長さが短くなっている。中間部分はその長さが短いほど座屈し難い。従って両端部の座屈を防止すると中間部も座屈し難くなる。よって本発明の液圧調整弁によると、コイルばねの座屈を防止できる。
【0008】
請求項2記載の発明によると、座屈防止部が段部としてハウジングに一体形成されるため、座屈防止部を別部品として備える場合に比べてコストを低減できる。また、段部を一体形成するとハウジングにおいて段部が設けられている部分の厚みを段部の分だけ減らすことができる。よって液圧調整弁のコストを低減でき、且つ体格を小さくできる。
請求項3記載の発明によると、コイルばねの最小作動長が同じである場合、筒部を収容室の底壁に当接させることで移動を規制する場合に比べ、スプールの往復移動方向の長さを段部の分だけ短くできるため、スプールのコストを低減できる。よって、液圧調整弁のコストを更に低減できる。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を図に基づいて説明する。
図1はコイルばねが最長作動長にあるときの本発明の一実施形態に係る液圧調整弁1の断面図である。図2はコイルばねが最小作動長にあるときの液圧調整弁1の断面図である。液圧調整弁1は、ハウジング11、スプール12、コイルばね13、シールプラグ14、リテーナープレート15を備える。
【0010】
ハウジング11は、収容室16、リテーナープレート15を挿入して係止するための係止孔17、及び2つのポート18及び19を備える。収容室16はハウジング11に形成された概ね円形の穴をシールプラグ14によって封止することで形成されている。ポート18は収容室16に油圧を導入するための流体通路であり、収容室16を形成する側壁のシールプラグ14側の端部近傍にはポート18を通過した液体を収容室16に流入させる流入口21が形成されている。ポート19は空気孔であり、収容室16を形成する側壁の反流入口21側の端部近傍、すなわちハウジング11において収容室16の奥側を形成する底壁部22側の端部近傍に形成されている。ポート19は、スプール12が底壁部22側に移動する際にスプール12と底壁部22との間の空間内の空気を逃がすために設けられており、これにより空間内の空気が空気ばねとして作用しなくなり、スプール12をよりスムーズに往復移動させることができる。
【0011】
座屈防止部としての段部23は、収容室16の底壁部22側の内周壁から内側に環状に張り出すようにハウジング11に一体形成されている。すなわち収容室16は底壁部22側の内径が狭くなっている。コイルばね13の外径は圧縮されると僅かに大きくなることから、収容室16において段部23が形成されている部分の内径は、コイルばね13を圧縮した状態で収容できるよう、圧縮された状態にあるコイルばね13の外径に一致するか僅かに大きく形成されている。図示するようにハウジング11において収容室16の側壁を形成している部分は、段部23に対応する部分24が段部23以外の部分に対応する部分25より段部23の分だけ収容室16側に入り込んでいる。すなわち、ハウジング11は所定の強度を維持しつつ段部23の分だけ体格が小さくなっている。尚、本実施形態では座屈防止部を段部としてハウジング11に一体形成する場合を説明したが、筒状の部品を収容室16に収容することで座屈防止部としてもよい。また、本実施形態の段部23は環状に張り出しているが、段部23は環状でなくてもよく、例えば周方向に間隔を開けて張り出すようにしてもよい。
【0012】
スプール12は、有底筒状に形成され、開口部が反流入口21側を向く姿勢で収容室16に収容されている。具体的には、スプール12は蓋部27と蓋部27から底壁部22側に収容室16の内周壁に沿って環状に延びる筒部26とを有し、筒部26の開口部28が底壁部22側を向く姿勢で収容室16に往復移動可能に収容されている。スプール12の筒部26の外周形状は、底壁部22側の端部を除いて収容室16の内周形状に一致するよう形成されている。尚、ここでいう収容室16の内周形状とは段部23以外の部分に対応する部分25の内周形状のことである。これに対し底壁部22側の端部は、内径は同じではあるものの外径が小さくなっている。これは、空気をポート19に逃がすための通路を形成するためである。ここで筒部26の底壁部22側の端部とは、具体的には、スプール12が移動可能範囲の底壁部22側の端にある状態において、筒部26の底壁部22側の端から、少なくともポート19の収容室16側の開口部の底壁部22側の端に対応する位置よりも開口部20側の位置までを含む範囲のことをいう。これにより空気をポート19に逃がすことが可能になる。筒部26の内径は圧縮された状態にあるコイルばね13の外径にほぼ一致するか僅かに大きく形成されている。スプール12は、その蓋部27が予め決められた範囲で往復移動するよう設計されており、蓋部27が移動可能範囲の底壁部22側の端まで移動したとき、スプール12は移動を規制するためのストッパに当接してそれ以上の移動が規制される。本実施形態では段部23がそのストッパとして機能し、スプール12は底壁部22側を向く端面が段部23の段差面に当接することでそれ以上の移動が規制される。すなわち本実施形態のスプール12によると、コイルばね13の最小作動長が同じである場合、筒部26を底壁部22に当接させることで移動を規制する場合に比べ、段部23の分だけ往復移動方向の長さを短くできる。よって、スプール12の体格を小さくできる。
【0013】
シールプラグ14は、図示しないストッパと係止孔17に挿入されたリテーナープレート15とによって、収容室16を形成するための穴において流入口21より開口部20側に固定されている。シールプラグ14は穴を封止して収容室16の一部の壁を形成すると共に、コイルばね13に付勢されたスプール12の開口部20側への移動を規制する。
【0014】
コイルばね13は、スプール12を挟んで流入口21の逆側で収容室16に収容されている。コイルばね13は、一端部がスプール12の筒部26に収容され、他端部が収容室16において段部23が形成されている部分に収容されている。スプール12は流入口21から導入される油圧が低圧のときはコイルばね13の付勢力により流入口21を閉塞する位置にあり、油圧が高圧であればコイルばね13の付勢力に抗して底壁部22側へ移動する。
【0015】
次に、液圧調整弁1の作動について説明する。流入口21から高圧の油圧が導入されるとスプール12は底壁部22側へ移動する。このときコイルばね13にはスプール12から受ける底壁部22側に向く力と、反力によって底壁部22から受ける開口部20側に向く力とが作用し、コイルばね13はそれら対向する力によって圧縮される。このときコイルばね13に作用する力のバランスが崩れると、その力はコイルばね13を座屈させる方向に働くことになる。しかしながらコイルばね13は、段部23に収容されている部分についてはその力が働いても段部23の内周壁に当接して座屈が防止される。一方、筒部26に収容されている部分についても同様に筒部26の内周壁に当接して座屈が防止される。両端部の間に相当する中間部は当接できるものがないため座屈可能ではあるものの、両端部が収容されることで中間部自体の長さが短くなっている。中間部はその長さが短いほど座屈し難い。従って両端部の座屈を防止すると中間部も座屈し難くなる。よって本実施形態の液圧調整弁1によると、コイルばね13の座屈を防止できる。
【0016】
以上説明した本発明の一実施形態に係る液圧調整弁1によると、コイルばね13の座屈を防止できる。
更に、液圧調整弁1によると、段部23を別部品として備える場合に比べてコストを低減でき、且つハウジング11の体格を小さくできる。また、スプール12の長さを短くできるのでスプール12のコストを低減できる。よって液圧調整弁1によると、コストを低減でき且つ体格を小さくできる。
【0017】
次に、本実施形態の液圧調整弁1を自動車の自動変速機に適用した場合の効果について説明する。
図3は、本実施形態に係る液圧調整弁1を適用した自動変速機の一部を示す回路図である。油圧ポンプ41で生成される伝達ライン圧はソレノイドモジュレータバルブ42によって調圧処理が施され、モジュレート圧として調圧弁43に入力される。調圧弁43は、連通路45を通じて伝達されるモジュレート圧を元圧にして出力圧を調圧する。出力圧は図示しない圧力制御弁などに指令圧として連通路47を通じて印可される。連通路45から分岐する連通路46には液圧調整弁1が接続されている。油圧ポンプ41から出力される作動油の圧力には圧力脈動が生じることが知られている。圧力脈動は騒音や振動が発生する原因の一つとなる。連通路46に液圧調整弁1を設けると液圧調整弁1がダンパーとして機能し、これにより圧力脈動が吸収されて騒音や振動を低減できる。この吸収において、液圧調整弁1はコイルばね13の座屈が防止されているため、脈動をより確実に吸収することができる。
【0018】
尚、ここでは液圧調整弁1を脈動を吸収するためのダンパーとして用いる場合を例に説明したが、変速操作時の衝撃を緩和するためのダンパーとして用いてもよく、その場合は油圧の立ち上がりをより確実に滑らかにすることができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hydraulic pressure control valve provided with a coil spring.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art There is known a hydraulic pressure control valve that accommodates a coil spring and urges a spool toward an inlet by the coil spring (for example, see Patent Document 1). The accumulator piston (hydraulic pressure adjusting valve) described in FIG. 5 of Patent Document 1 is used for hydraulic control of an automatic transmission of an automobile. In the hydraulic pressure adjusting valve shown in FIG. 5 of Patent Document 1, the accumulator piston body as a spool is normally urged toward a port (inflow port) side by a return spring as a coil spring to close the port. When hydraulic pressure is introduced from the port, the spool compresses the coil spring and accumulates a part of the hydraulic pressure, thereby smoothing the rise of the hydraulic pressure and reducing the shock during shifting. The spool of the hydraulic pressure control valve described in FIG. 5 of Patent Document 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape with an inner periphery partitioned, and one end of a coil spring is housed in a back pressure chamber of the spool. When a high-pressure hydraulic pressure is introduced, the cylindrical portion forming the cylinder of the spool reciprocates between the coil spring and the housing in the reciprocating direction. Therefore, an interval larger than the thickness of the cylindrical portion is provided between the coil spring and the housing.
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-2003-14095 (FIG. 5)
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, according to the conventional hydraulic pressure control valve, since a space is provided between the coil spring and the housing, there is a problem that the coil spring buckles by using the space during compression. The spool moves to the counter-inflow side by high-pressure oil pressure introduced from the inflow port. At this time, the coil spring receives a force directed toward the inflow port side received from the spool, and the reaction force applies a force directed toward the inflow port side received from the housing, and the coil spring is compressed by the force. At this time, if the balance of the force acting on the coil spring is lost, the force acts in a direction to buckle the coil spring. When the coil spring buckles, the cylindrical portion of the spool comes into contact with the buckled coil spring and is prevented from moving to the counterflow inlet side, so that the hydraulic pressure adjustment valve cannot sufficiently reduce the impact during shifting.
[0005]
Further, according to the conventional hydraulic pressure control valve, there is a problem that the physical size of the spool is increased. The spool is designed so that its bottom reciprocates within a predetermined range. In the conventional hydraulic pressure adjustment valve, the movement to the counter-flow inlet side is regulated by the cylindrical portion abutting on the bottom wall of the storage chamber. When the cylindrical portion comes into contact with the bottom wall of the storage chamber, the length of the coil spring becomes the minimum operating length, and the entire coil spring is stored in the cylindrical portion. That is, in the conventional hydraulic pressure regulating valve, the cylindrical portion has to have the same length as the minimum operating length of the coil spring.
For this reason, in the conventional hydraulic pressure control valve, the length of the cylindrical portion cannot be shorter than the minimum operating length of the coil spring, so that the physical size of the spool increases.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a hydraulic pressure control valve capable of preventing buckling of a coil spring.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the coil spring abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion to prevent buckling even when a buckling force acts on the one end portion accommodated in the cylindrical portion. The other end also contacts the buckling prevention portion to prevent buckling. The coil spring has no buckling part, that is, the middle part between both ends is buckleable, but the buckling prevention part is provided by contacting the cylindrical part or the buckling prevention part at both ends. The length of the middle part is shorter than in the case where there is not. The shorter the length of the intermediate portion, the more difficult it is to buckle. Therefore, if the buckling of both ends is prevented, the middle portion also becomes difficult to buckle. Therefore, according to the hydraulic pressure control valve of the present invention, buckling of the coil spring can be prevented.
[0008]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the buckling prevention portion is formed integrally with the housing as a step, the cost can be reduced as compared with the case where the buckling prevention portion is provided as a separate component. In addition, when the step is formed integrally, the thickness of the portion of the housing where the step is provided can be reduced by the amount of the step. Therefore, the cost of the hydraulic pressure control valve can be reduced, and the physique can be reduced.
According to the third aspect of the invention, when the minimum operating length of the coil spring is the same, the length of the spool in the reciprocating movement direction is smaller than when the movement is regulated by abutting the cylindrical portion against the bottom wall of the storage chamber. Since the length can be shortened by the amount of the step, the cost of the spool can be reduced. Therefore, the cost of the hydraulic pressure control valve can be further reduced.
[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a hydraulic pressure regulating valve 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention when a coil spring is at a longest operating length. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the hydraulic pressure regulating valve 1 when the coil spring has a minimum operating length. The hydraulic pressure control valve 1 includes a housing 11, a spool 12, a coil spring 13, a seal plug 14, and a retainer plate 15.
[0010]
The housing 11 includes a storage chamber 16, a locking hole 17 for inserting and locking the retainer plate 15, and two ports 18 and 19. The storage chamber 16 is formed by sealing a substantially circular hole formed in the housing 11 with a seal plug 14. The port 18 is a fluid passage for introducing a hydraulic pressure into the storage chamber 16, and a flow path through which the liquid having passed through the port 18 flows into the storage chamber 16 is provided near the end of the side wall forming the storage chamber 16 on the side of the seal plug 14. An inlet 21 is formed. The port 19 is an air hole, and is formed near the end of the side wall forming the housing chamber 16 on the side of the counterflow inlet 21, that is, near the end of the housing 11 on the side of the bottom wall 22 forming the back side of the housing chamber 16. Have been. The port 19 is provided to allow air in the space between the spool 12 and the bottom wall 22 to escape when the spool 12 moves to the bottom wall 22 side. And the spool 12 can be reciprocated more smoothly.
[0011]
The step portion 23 as a buckling prevention portion is integrally formed with the housing 11 so as to protrude annularly inward from the inner peripheral wall on the bottom wall portion 22 side of the storage chamber 16. That is, the inside diameter of the housing chamber 16 on the side of the bottom wall portion 22 is small. Since the outer diameter of the coil spring 13 becomes slightly larger when compressed, the inner diameter of the portion where the step portion 23 is formed in the accommodation chamber 16 is compressed so that the coil spring 13 can be accommodated in a compressed state. The outer diameter of the coil spring 13 is equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the coil spring 13 in the state. As shown in the drawing, the portion forming the side wall of the housing chamber 16 in the housing 11 is different from the portion 25 corresponding to the step portion 23 by the portion 23 corresponding to the portion other than the step portion 23. I'm on the side. That is, the housing 11 is reduced in size by the amount of the step portion 23 while maintaining the predetermined strength. In the present embodiment, the case where the buckling prevention portion is formed integrally with the housing 11 as a step portion has been described, but the buckling prevention portion may be formed by housing a cylindrical component in the housing chamber 16. Further, although the step portion 23 of the present embodiment projects in a ring shape, the step portion 23 does not have to be in the shape of a ring. For example, the step portion 23 may project in the circumferential direction with an interval.
[0012]
The spool 12 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape, and is accommodated in the accommodation room 16 with the opening facing the counterflow inlet 21. Specifically, the spool 12 has a lid portion 27 and a cylindrical portion 26 extending annularly along the inner peripheral wall of the storage chamber 16 from the lid portion 27 to the bottom wall portion 22 side. It is accommodated in the accommodation room 16 so as to be able to reciprocate in a posture facing the bottom wall portion 22 side. The outer peripheral shape of the cylindrical portion 26 of the spool 12 is formed so as to match the inner peripheral shape of the housing chamber 16 except for the end on the bottom wall 22 side. Here, the inner peripheral shape of the storage chamber 16 refers to the inner peripheral shape of the portion 25 corresponding to a portion other than the step portion 23. On the other hand, the end on the side of the bottom wall 22 has the same inner diameter but a smaller outer diameter. This is to form a passage for allowing air to escape to the port 19. Here, the end on the bottom wall 22 side of the cylindrical portion 26 specifically refers to the end on the bottom wall 22 side of the cylindrical portion 26 when the spool 12 is at the end on the bottom wall 22 side in the movable range. From the end of the port 19 to the position closer to the opening 20 than the position corresponding to the end of the opening of the port 19 on the side of the storage chamber 16 on the bottom wall 22 side. This allows air to escape to port 19. The inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 26 is substantially equal to or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the coil spring 13 in a compressed state. The spool 12 is designed so that the lid 27 reciprocates within a predetermined range. When the lid 27 moves to the end on the bottom wall 22 side of the movable range, the spool 12 restricts the movement. And further movement is restricted. In the present embodiment, the step portion 23 functions as a stopper thereof, and further movement of the spool 12 is restricted by the end surface of the spool 12 facing the bottom wall portion 22 contacting the step surface of the step portion 23. That is, according to the spool 12 of the present embodiment, when the minimum operating length of the coil spring 13 is the same, compared with the case where the movement is regulated by bringing the cylindrical portion 26 into contact with the bottom wall portion 22, the amount of the step portion 23 is smaller. Only the length in the reciprocating movement direction can be shortened. Therefore, the physical size of the spool 12 can be reduced.
[0013]
The seal plug 14 is fixed to the opening 20 side from the inflow port 21 in a hole for forming the storage chamber 16 by a stopper (not shown) and a retainer plate 15 inserted into the locking hole 17. The seal plug 14 seals the hole to form a part of the wall of the storage chamber 16 and restricts the movement of the spool 12 urged by the coil spring 13 toward the opening 20.
[0014]
The coil spring 13 is housed in the housing chamber 16 on the opposite side of the inflow port 21 across the spool 12. One end of the coil spring 13 is accommodated in the cylindrical portion 26 of the spool 12, and the other end is accommodated in a portion of the accommodation chamber 16 where the step portion 23 is formed. When the hydraulic pressure introduced from the inlet 21 is low, the spool 12 is in a position to close the inlet 21 by the urging force of the coil spring 13. It moves to the wall part 22 side.
[0015]
Next, the operation of the hydraulic pressure regulating valve 1 will be described. When high pressure oil pressure is introduced from the inflow port 21, the spool 12 moves to the bottom wall 22 side. At this time, a force toward the bottom wall 22 side received from the spool 12 and a force toward the opening 20 side received from the bottom wall 22 by the reaction force act on the coil spring 13, and the coil spring 13 exerts the opposing forces. Compressed by At this time, if the balance of the force acting on the coil spring 13 is lost, the force acts in a direction to buckle the coil spring 13. However, the coil spring 13 abuts on the inner peripheral wall of the step portion 23 to prevent buckling even when the force acts on the portion housed in the step portion 23. On the other hand, the portion accommodated in the cylindrical portion 26 is also in contact with the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion 26 to prevent buckling. Although there is no middle part corresponding to the both ends, there is nothing that can be brought into contact with the middle part, and although it is possible to buckle, the length of the middle part itself is shortened by the accommodation of the both ends. The shorter the length of the middle part, the more difficult it is to buckle. Therefore, if the buckling of both ends is prevented, the middle portion also becomes difficult to buckle. Therefore, according to the hydraulic pressure control valve 1 of the present embodiment, the buckling of the coil spring 13 can be prevented.
[0016]
According to the hydraulic pressure control valve 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, the buckling of the coil spring 13 can be prevented.
Furthermore, according to the hydraulic pressure control valve 1, the cost can be reduced and the size of the housing 11 can be reduced as compared with the case where the step portion 23 is provided as a separate component. Further, since the length of the spool 12 can be reduced, the cost of the spool 12 can be reduced. Therefore, according to the hydraulic pressure control valve 1, the cost can be reduced and the physique can be reduced.
[0017]
Next, an effect when the hydraulic pressure control valve 1 of the present embodiment is applied to an automatic transmission of an automobile will be described.
FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing a part of an automatic transmission to which the hydraulic pressure control valve 1 according to the present embodiment is applied. The transmission line pressure generated by the hydraulic pump 41 is subjected to pressure regulation processing by a solenoid modulator valve 42, and is input to the pressure regulation valve 43 as a modulated pressure. The pressure regulating valve 43 regulates the output pressure by using the modulated pressure transmitted through the communication passage 45 as the original pressure. The output pressure is applied to a pressure control valve (not shown) as a command pressure through the communication passage 47. The hydraulic pressure regulating valve 1 is connected to a communication passage 46 branched from the communication passage 45. It is known that pressure pulsation occurs in the pressure of the hydraulic oil output from the hydraulic pump 41. Pressure pulsation is one of the causes of noise and vibration. When the hydraulic pressure regulating valve 1 is provided in the communication passage 46, the hydraulic pressure regulating valve 1 functions as a damper, thereby absorbing pressure pulsation and reducing noise and vibration. In this absorption, since the buckling of the coil spring 13 is prevented in the hydraulic pressure control valve 1, the pulsation can be more reliably absorbed.
[0018]
Here, the case where the hydraulic pressure regulating valve 1 is used as a damper for absorbing pulsation has been described as an example. However, the hydraulic pressure regulating valve 1 may be used as a damper for alleviating an impact at the time of a shift operation. Can be more reliably smoothed.
