Description

本発明は、例えば、カップラーなどといわれる弁付の管継手及びこの弁付の管継手に用いられる弁の支持具に関するものである。   The present invention relates to, for example, a pipe joint with a valve called a coupler and the like, and a valve support used for the pipe joint with the valve.

従来から、油圧機器などに用いられ、水や油などの流体が流れる管の継手として、カップラーなどといわれる弁付の管継手が知られている(例えば、特許文献1、特許文献2、特許文献3参照。)。この弁付の管継手は、例えば、図19及び図20に示すように、ノーズなどといわれる雄継手110と、ボディーなどといわれる雌継手120との組合せで構成されている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, pipe joints with valves called couplers or the like are known as joints of pipes used in hydraulic equipment and the like through which fluids such as water and oil flow (for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document). 3). For example, as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the valve-equipped pipe joint is configured by a combination of a male joint 110 called a nose and a female joint 120 called a body.

より詳細には、雄継手110がノーズ本体などといわれる筒状の雄筒体11を有し、この雄筒体11の内周面11aが流路L1を形成している。同様に、雌継手120がボディー本体などといわれる筒状の雌筒体21を有し、この雌筒体21の内周面21aが流路L2を形成している。このようにしてなる雄筒体11及び雌筒体21は、雄筒体11の先端部11Aを雌筒体21の先端部内周面21Aで形成された開口部に嵌入しつつ、例えば、螺合し、あるいは図示例のような連結機構70を利用するなどの適宜の方法で固定して、連結することができる。   More specifically, the male joint 110 has a cylindrical male cylinder 11 referred to as a nose body, and the inner peripheral surface 11a of the male cylinder 11 forms a flow path L1. Similarly, the female joint 120 has a cylindrical female cylinder 21 called a body body, and the inner peripheral surface 21a of the female cylinder 21 forms a flow path L2. The male cylindrical body 11 and the female cylindrical body 21 thus configured are, for example, screwed while fitting the distal end portion 11A of the male cylindrical body 11 into the opening formed by the inner peripheral surface 21A of the distal end portion of the female cylindrical body 21. Alternatively, they can be fixed and connected by an appropriate method such as using a connecting mechanism 70 as shown in the drawing.

また、雄継手110及び雌継手120は、流路L1,L2に、それぞれポペットバルブなどといわれる弁30が備えられている。この弁30は、ポペットなどといわれるテーパー状(円錐状)の頭部31と、この頭部31から他方の筒体11,21とは反対側、つまり基端側に延出する頭部31よりも小径の軸部32とを有する。なお、他方の筒体11,21とは、流路L1に備えられた弁30においては雌筒体21を、流路L2に備えられた弁30においては雄筒体11を意味する。   Further, the male joint 110 and the female joint 120 are provided with valves 30 called poppet valves or the like in the flow paths L1 and L2, respectively. The valve 30 includes a tapered (conical) head portion 31 called a poppet and the like, and a head portion 31 extending from the head portion 31 to the side opposite to the other cylinders 11 and 21, that is, the proximal end side. Also has a small-diameter shaft portion 32. The other cylinders 11 and 21 mean the female cylinder 21 in the valve 30 provided in the flow path L1 and the male cylinder 11 in the valve 30 provided in the flow path L2.

さらに、雄継手110及び雌継手120は、流路L1,L2に、ポペットガイドなどといわれる弁30の支持具40が備えられている。この弁支持具40は、図21及び図22に示すように、筒体11,21の内周面11a,21aに内接する第1の円筒部41と、弁30の軸部32に外接する第1の円筒部41より小径の第2の円筒部43とを有する。加えて、弁支持具40は、第1の円筒部41と第2の円筒部43とに繋がる架橋部42を有する。この架橋部42は、第1の円筒部41の先端縁と繋がり、この先端縁で形成される開口縁41aを直径方向に横切る平板状とされている。また、この架橋部42は、中心部において第2の円筒部43の基端縁と繋がっており、したがって架橋部42の幅Xは、第2の円筒部43を確実に支持することができるよう第2の円筒部43の直径とほぼ同じとされている。さらに、架橋部42には、第2の円筒部43の基端縁で形成される開口縁43aと同形状の孔が形成されており、この孔も弁30の軸部32に外接するようになっている。   Furthermore, the male joint 110 and the female joint 120 are provided with a support tool 40 of the valve 30 called a poppet guide or the like in the flow paths L1 and L2. As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the valve support 40 includes a first cylindrical portion 41 that is inscribed in the inner peripheral surfaces 11 a and 21 a of the cylindrical bodies 11 and 21 and a shaft portion 32 of the valve 30. A second cylindrical portion 43 having a smaller diameter than the first cylindrical portion 41. In addition, the valve support 40 has a bridging portion 42 connected to the first cylindrical portion 41 and the second cylindrical portion 43. The bridging portion 42 is connected to the leading edge of the first cylindrical portion 41 and has a flat plate shape that crosses the opening edge 41a formed by the leading edge in the diameter direction. In addition, the bridging portion 42 is connected to the base end edge of the second cylindrical portion 43 at the center portion, and thus the width X of the bridging portion 42 can support the second cylindrical portion 43 reliably. The diameter of the second cylindrical portion 43 is substantially the same. Further, a hole having the same shape as the opening edge 43 a formed at the base end edge of the second cylindrical portion 43 is formed in the bridging portion 42, and this hole is also circumscribed to the shaft portion 32 of the valve 30. It has become.

以上のようにしてなる弁支持具40の第1の円筒部41の基端縁は、図19及び図20に示すように、筒体11,21の内周面11a,21aにこの内周面11a,21aから内周部が突出するように嵌め込まれた環状の掛止リング9に掛止されている。なお、この掛止は、例えば、C型止め輪、スピロロックス等を利用して行われ、あるいは内周面11a,21aの一部が縮径してなる突状部を利用して行われることなどもある。   As shown in FIGS. 19 and 20, the base end edge of the first cylindrical portion 41 of the valve support 40 configured as described above is formed on the inner peripheral surfaces 11 a and 21 a of the cylindrical bodies 11 and 21. 11a and 21a are hooked on an annular hooking ring 9 fitted so that the inner peripheral portion protrudes. In addition, this latching is performed using, for example, a C-type retaining ring, a spiro lock, or the like, or using a protruding portion in which a part of the inner peripheral surfaces 11a and 21a is reduced in diameter. There are also.

以上の掛止によって弁支持具40は、筒体11,21に対して、基端側へは移動不能に固定されている。他方、弁支持具40の第2の円筒部43内には、弁30の軸部32が挿通されている。したがって、軸部32は、弁支持具40によって、軸方向へは移動可能に支持された状態となっている。   With the above-described latching, the valve support 40 is fixed so as not to move toward the proximal end with respect to the cylinders 11 and 21. On the other hand, the shaft portion 32 of the valve 30 is inserted into the second cylindrical portion 43 of the valve support 40. Therefore, the shaft portion 32 is supported by the valve support 40 so as to be movable in the axial direction.

さらに、雄継手110及び雌継手120は、流路L1,L2に、コイル状のスプリングなどからなる付勢部材8が備えられている。この付勢部材8は、弁支持具40の架橋部42の先端側面と頭部31の底面(基端側面)との間に介在されており、第2の円筒部43に外接している。したがって、頭部31は、付勢部材8によって他方の筒体11,21側に付勢される。そして、この付勢により、図19に示すように、雄筒体11の先端部11Aが雌筒体21の前述開口部に嵌入されていない状態(嵌入が外れた状態)においては、流路L1,L2が塞がれた状態となる。より詳細には、この流路L1,L2を形成する筒体11,21の内周面11a,21aには、軸心側(内方)に突出する縮径部12,22が設けられている。そして、頭部31が他方の筒体11,21側に付勢されて先端側に移動すると、当該縮径部12,22の内周面と頭部31のテーパー面とが当接し、この当接によって流路L1,L2が塞がれる。   Further, the male joint 110 and the female joint 120 are provided with a biasing member 8 made of a coiled spring or the like in the flow paths L1 and L2. The biasing member 8 is interposed between the distal end side surface of the bridging portion 42 of the valve support 40 and the bottom surface (base end side surface) of the head portion 31, and circumscribes the second cylindrical portion 43. Accordingly, the head portion 31 is urged toward the other cylinders 11 and 21 by the urging member 8. And as shown in FIG. 19, by this energization, in the state where 11 A of front-end | tip parts of the male cylinder 11 are not inserted in the above-mentioned opening part of the female cylinder 21 (state where insertion was removed), it is flow path L1. , L2 is closed. More specifically, the inner peripheral surfaces 11a and 21a of the cylinders 11 and 21 that form the flow paths L1 and L2 are provided with reduced diameter portions 12 and 22 that protrude toward the axial center side (inward). . When the head portion 31 is urged toward the other cylinders 11 and 21 and moves to the distal end side, the inner peripheral surfaces of the reduced diameter portions 12 and 22 and the tapered surface of the head portion 31 come into contact with each other. The flow paths L1 and L2 are closed by the contact.

他方、図20に示すように、雄筒体11の先端部11Aが雌筒体21の前述開口部に嵌入された状態においては、両流路L1,L2が連通した状態となる。より詳細には、まず、嵌入が外れた状態においては、図19に示すように、一方の頭部31の先端部が、雄筒体11の内周面11aに形成された縮径部12の先端面から突出し、他方の頭部31の先端部が、雌筒体21の内周面21aに形成された縮径部22の先端面から突出している。また、嵌入状態においては、図20に示すように、筒体11の内周面11aに形成された縮径部12の先端面と筒体21の内周面21aに形成された縮径部22の先端面とが突き当たり、位置決めされる。したがって、嵌入状態においては、両頭部31,31が相互に押し合い、この押し合いにより両頭部31,31が縮径部21,22から離れ、もって両流路L1,L2が連通する。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 20, in a state where the distal end portion 11 </ b> A of the male cylinder body 11 is fitted into the opening of the female cylinder body 21, both the flow paths L <b> 1 and L <b> 2 are in communication with each other. More specifically, first, in the disengaged state, as shown in FIG. 19, the distal end portion of one head portion 31 has a reduced diameter portion 12 formed on the inner peripheral surface 11 a of the male cylindrical body 11. Projecting from the distal end surface, the distal end portion of the other head portion 31 projects from the distal end surface of the reduced diameter portion 22 formed on the inner peripheral surface 21 a of the female cylindrical body 21. In the inserted state, as shown in FIG. 20, the distal end surface of the reduced diameter portion 12 formed on the inner peripheral surface 11 a of the cylindrical body 11 and the reduced diameter portion 22 formed on the inner peripheral surface 21 a of the cylindrical body 21. The front end surface of this is abutted and positioned. Therefore, in the inserted state, both heads 31 and 31 are pressed against each other, and both the heads 31 and 31 are separated from the reduced diameter portions 21 and 22 by this pressing, so that both flow paths L1 and L2 are communicated.

以上のようにして構成される弁付管継手100は、雄継手110と雌継手120との連結が容易であり既に汎用されているが、次のような問題点も指摘されている。
すなわち、図21から明らかなように、従来の弁付管継手100においては、弁支持具40の架橋部42が大きな抵抗となるため、流路L1,L2を流れる流体の圧力損失が大きい。他方、この圧力損失を低減しようと架橋部42の幅Xを狭くすると、第1の円筒部41と第2の円筒部43との一体化強度が保てなくなることなどを原因として、弁30(軸部32)の移動方向が軸方向に対して傾いてしまうおそれがある。弁30の移動方向が傾くと、弁30が先端側に移動しても縮径部12,22の内周面と頭部31のテーパー面とが完全に当接せず、流路L1,L2が完全に塞がれなくなる。しかも、当該弁支持具40は、切削加工などによって製造する必要があり、製造コストもかさんでいる。
The valved pipe joint 100 configured as described above is easy to connect the male joint 110 and the female joint 120 and is already widely used. However, the following problems have also been pointed out.
That is, as apparent from FIG. 21, in the conventional valve-equipped pipe joint 100, the bridging portion 42 of the valve support 40 has a large resistance, so the pressure loss of the fluid flowing through the flow paths L <b> 1 and L <b> 2 is large. On the other hand, if the width X of the bridging portion 42 is narrowed to reduce this pressure loss, the integrated strength of the first cylindrical portion 41 and the second cylindrical portion 43 cannot be maintained, and the valve 30 ( The moving direction of the shaft portion 32) may be inclined with respect to the axial direction. When the moving direction of the valve 30 is inclined, the inner peripheral surfaces of the reduced diameter portions 12 and 22 and the tapered surface of the head portion 31 do not come into full contact with each other even if the valve 30 moves toward the tip side, and the flow paths L1 and L2 Will not be completely blocked. Moreover, the valve support 40 needs to be manufactured by cutting or the like, and the manufacturing cost is also increased.

一方、従来の弁付管継手としては、弁支持具40を、図23及び図24に示す弁支持具50に変えたものもある。この弁支持具50は、弁30の軸部32に外接する円筒部51と、この円筒部51から径方向に突出し、突端部が筒体11,21の内周面11a,21aに内接する円弧状とされた適宜の数の、図示例では4本の突部52,52…とを有する。このようにしてなる弁支持具50は、突部52突端部が掛止リング9に掛止される。この掛止によって弁支持具50は、筒体11,21に対して、基端側へは移動不能に固定される。他方、弁支持具50の円筒部51内には、弁30の軸部32が挿通される。したがって、軸部32は、弁支持具50によって、軸方向へは移動可能に支持される。   On the other hand, as a conventional valve-equipped pipe joint, there is one in which the valve support 40 is replaced with a valve support 50 shown in FIGS. The valve support 50 includes a cylindrical portion 51 that circumscribes the shaft portion 32 of the valve 30, and a circle that protrudes radially from the cylindrical portion 51, and the protruding end portion is inscribed in the inner peripheral surfaces 11 a and 21 a of the cylindrical bodies 11 and 21. In the illustrated example, there are four protrusions 52, 52... In the valve support 50 thus configured, the protruding portion 52 protrudes from the locking ring 9. By this latching, the valve support 50 is fixed to the cylinders 11 and 21 so as not to move toward the base end side. On the other hand, the shaft portion 32 of the valve 30 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 51 of the valve support 50. Therefore, the shaft portion 32 is supported by the valve support 50 so as to be movable in the axial direction.

さらに、この弁支持具50による場合は、付勢部材8が弁支持具50の突部52と頭部31の底面(基端側面)との間に介在され、円筒部51に外接する。これにより、頭部31は、付勢部材8によって他方の筒体11,21側に付勢され、前述した弁付管継手100と同様の機能が発揮される。   Further, in the case of this valve support 50, the urging member 8 is interposed between the protrusion 52 of the valve support 50 and the bottom surface (base end side surface) of the head 31 and circumscribes the cylindrical portion 51. Thereby, the head part 31 is urged | biased by the other cylinders 11 and 21 side by the urging | biasing member 8, and the function similar to the valve fitting 100 mentioned above is exhibited.

しかしながら、図23から明らかなように、弁支持具50を用いたとしても、突部52が抵抗となるため、流路L1,L2を流れる流体の圧力損失は大きい。この圧力損失を低減しようと突部52の幅Yを狭くすると、突部52の強度が保てなくなるなどし、結果、弁30(軸部32)の移動方向が軸方向に対して傾いてしまい、支持具40におけるのと同様の問題(流路L1,L2が完全に塞がれなくなるおそれ)が生じる。また、支持具50は、金属の焼結加工などによって製造する必要があり、製造コストもかさんでいる。   However, as is apparent from FIG. 23, even if the valve support 50 is used, the protrusion 52 becomes a resistance, so that the pressure loss of the fluid flowing through the flow paths L1 and L2 is large. If the width Y of the projection 52 is reduced to reduce this pressure loss, the strength of the projection 52 cannot be maintained, and as a result, the moving direction of the valve 30 (shaft portion 32) is inclined with respect to the axial direction. The same problem as in the support tool 40 (the possibility that the flow paths L1 and L2 may not be completely blocked) occurs. Further, the support 50 needs to be manufactured by a metal sintering process or the like, and the manufacturing cost is also increased.

このほか雄継手110や雌継手120を構成する、例えば、筒体11,21や弁30などの各部材は、ある程度の汎用性を有しており、また、製造ラインも確立されたものが既に存在する。したがって、例えば、特許文献4に示すように、弁自体の形状を改良するなどして圧力損失を低減するのではなく、従来の弁などをそのまま用いつつ、弁支持具40,50を改良して圧力損失を低減することが望まれる。

In addition, the members constituting the male joint 110 and the female joint 120, such as the cylinders 11 and 21 and the valve 30, have a certain degree of versatility, and have already established a production line. Exists. Therefore, for example, as shown in Patent Document 4, the pressure loss is not reduced by improving the shape of the valve itself, but the valve supports 40 and 50 are improved while using the conventional valve as it is. It is desirable to reduce pressure loss.

次に、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。なお、図1及び図2に示すように、本実施の形態の弁付管継手1は、従来の弁付管継手100とほぼ同じ部材で構成されており(同一の部材は同一の符号で示す)、従来の弁支持具40,50が本実施の形態の支持具Aに変わっている点が異なる。そこで、以下では、まず、弁付管継手1全般について、前述しなかった補足説明のみを行い、その後、本実施の形態の支持具について詳細に説明する。   Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the valve-equipped pipe joint 1 of the present embodiment is configured by substantially the same members as the conventional valve-equipped pipe joint 100 (the same members are denoted by the same reference numerals). ), Except that the conventional valve supports 40 and 50 are changed to the support A of the present embodiment. Therefore, in the following, first, only the supplementary explanation that has not been described above will be given to the valve-equipped pipe joint 1 in general, and then the support according to the present embodiment will be described in detail.

〔弁付管継手〕
図1及び図2に示すように、本実施の形態の弁付管継手1は、ノーズなどといわれる雄継手2と、ボディーなどといわれる雌継手3との組合せで構成されている。この雄継手2及び雌継手3は、前述した従来の雄継手110又は雌継手120に対応するものである。
(Fitting with valve)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the valve-equipped pipe joint 1 according to the present embodiment is configured by a combination of a male joint 2 called a nose and a female joint 3 called a body. The male joint 2 and the female joint 3 correspond to the conventional male joint 110 or female joint 120 described above.

雄継手2と雌継手3との連結方法は、特に限定されず、例えば、雄筒体11と雌筒体21とを螺合するなどして固定し、連結することもできる。ただし、本実施の形態では、連結容易性という観点から、連結機構70を利用して固定し、連結する方法を採用している。この連結機構70は、雌筒体21の先端部に、同軸的に、かつ外接するように備えられたカラーなどといわれる連結筒体71を有する。この連結筒体71は、先端側が肉厚、基端側が肉薄とされ、この肉薄部の内周面と雌筒体21の外周面との間にコイル状のスプリングなどからなる付勢部材72が介在されている。この付勢部材72は、連結筒体71の肉厚部と肉薄部との段差部分に掛合しており、連結筒体71を先端側に付勢している。ただし、雌筒体21の先端部外周面には、この外周面から突出するように環状のリングや、複数のボール部材等で構成された突部材73が嵌め込まれている。したがって、連結筒体71の肉厚部が当該突部材73と掛合することによって、当該付勢による連結筒体71の先端側への移動が限界付けられ、通常、この状態にある。一方、連結機構70はボール部材75を有し、このボール部材75は雌筒体21の先端部に形成された孔76内に配置されている。ボール部材75は、通常、連結筒体71の肉厚部内周面によって覆われ、外方への移動が阻止されている。また、孔76の内方側の径はボール部材75の径よりも小さくなっており、ボール部材75は雌筒体21の内周面21Aから突出した状態で移動不能となっている。本形態において、ボール部材75及び孔76は、雌筒体21の周方向に適宜の間隔をおいて複数設けられている。   The connection method of the male joint 2 and the female joint 3 is not specifically limited, For example, the male cylinder body 11 and the female cylinder body 21 can be fixed, for example, by screwing. However, in the present embodiment, from the viewpoint of easy connection, a method of fixing and connecting using the connecting mechanism 70 is adopted. The connecting mechanism 70 has a connecting cylinder 71 called a collar or the like that is coaxially and circumscribed at the tip of the female cylinder 21. The connecting cylinder 71 is thick at the distal end and thin at the proximal end, and a biasing member 72 made of a coiled spring or the like is provided between the inner peripheral surface of the thin portion and the outer peripheral surface of the female cylinder 21. Intervened. The urging member 72 is engaged with the step portion between the thick portion and the thin portion of the connecting cylinder 71 and urges the connecting cylinder 71 toward the tip side. However, a projecting member 73 composed of an annular ring or a plurality of ball members is fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the female cylinder 21 so as to protrude from the outer peripheral surface. Therefore, when the thick part of the connecting cylinder 71 engages with the protruding member 73, the movement of the connecting cylinder 71 to the front end side due to the biasing is limited, and this state is usually in this state. On the other hand, the connecting mechanism 70 has a ball member 75, and the ball member 75 is disposed in a hole 76 formed at the tip of the female cylinder 21. The ball member 75 is normally covered with the inner peripheral surface of the thick portion of the connecting cylinder 71 and is prevented from moving outward. Further, the diameter of the inner side of the hole 76 is smaller than the diameter of the ball member 75, and the ball member 75 is immovable while protruding from the inner peripheral surface 21 </ b> A of the female cylinder 21. In this embodiment, a plurality of ball members 75 and holes 76 are provided at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction of the female cylinder 21.

以上のようにしてなる連結機構70を用いて雄継手2と雌継手3とを連結するにあたっては、まず、連結筒体71を基端側に移動(スライド)し、ボール部材75を外方へ移動可能とする。次に、この状態において、雄筒体11の先端部11Aを雌筒体21の先端部内周面21Aで形成された開口部に嵌入する。この嵌入時において、ボール部材75は外方へ移動可能とされているため、ボール部材75が嵌入の妨げとなることはない。この嵌入によって、図2に示すように、雄筒体11の内周面11aに形成された縮径部12の先端面と雌筒体21の内周面21aに形成された縮径部22の先端面とが突き当たった状態になると、ボール部材75は、雄筒体11の先端部11Aに形成された凹部77内に嵌入する。そして、この状態において、連結筒体71を基端側へ移動するのを中止すれば、連結筒体71は付勢部材72によって先端側に移動され、ボール部材75を覆い、ボール部材75の外方への移動を不能とする。このようにして、ボール部材75と凹部77とが掛合状態となり、雄継手2と雌継手3とが固定され、連結が完了する。   When the male joint 2 and the female joint 3 are connected using the connecting mechanism 70 as described above, first, the connecting cylinder 71 is moved (slid) to the proximal end side, and the ball member 75 is moved outward. It can be moved. Next, in this state, the distal end portion 11 </ b> A of the male cylindrical body 11 is fitted into the opening formed on the inner peripheral surface 21 </ b> A of the distal end portion of the female cylindrical body 21. At the time of this insertion, since the ball member 75 can move outward, the ball member 75 does not hinder the insertion. By this insertion, as shown in FIG. 2, the distal end surface of the reduced diameter portion 12 formed on the inner peripheral surface 11 a of the male cylindrical body 11 and the reduced diameter portion 22 formed on the inner peripheral surface 21 a of the female cylindrical body 21. When the front end surface comes into contact with the front end surface, the ball member 75 is fitted into a recess 77 formed in the front end portion 11A of the male cylindrical body 11. In this state, if the movement of the connecting cylinder 71 to the proximal end is stopped, the connecting cylinder 71 is moved to the distal end side by the urging member 72, covers the ball member 75, and the outside of the ball member 75. The movement to the direction is made impossible. In this way, the ball member 75 and the recess 77 are engaged with each other, the male joint 2 and the female joint 3 are fixed, and the connection is completed.

ところで、本形態においては、雌筒体21の先端部内周面21Aに周方向に沿う環状溝が形成されており、この環状溝内に、O‐リング等からなるシール材4が埋め込まれている。これにより、嵌入状態においては、シール材4の内周面と雄筒体11先端部11Aの外周面とが当接し、当該雄筒体11の先端部11A外周面と雌筒体21の先端部内周面21Aとの間から流体が漏れるのが防止される。他方、嵌入が外された状態においては、図1に示すように、縮径部12,22の内周面と頭部31のテーパー面とが当接し、この当接によって流路L1,L2が塞がれる。本形態においては、この流路L1,L2の閉塞をより完全なものとするために、頭部31のテーパー面に周方向に沿う環状溝が形成されており、この環状溝内にシール材5が埋め込まれている。このシール材5は、例えば、O‐リングによって形成することや、特開2006‐105285号公報に開示されるようなゴム材の焼付けによって形成することなどができる。   By the way, in this embodiment, an annular groove is formed along the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface 21A of the distal end portion of the female cylindrical body 21, and a sealing material 4 made of an O-ring or the like is embedded in the annular groove. . Thereby, in the inserted state, the inner peripheral surface of the sealing material 4 and the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion 11A of the male cylindrical body 11 abut, and the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion 11A of the male cylindrical body 11 and the inner end portion of the female cylindrical body 21 are in contact. The fluid is prevented from leaking from between the peripheral surface 21A. On the other hand, in the state where the insertion is removed, as shown in FIG. 1, the inner peripheral surfaces of the reduced diameter portions 12 and 22 and the tapered surface of the head portion 31 come into contact with each other. It is blocked. In the present embodiment, an annular groove is formed in the tapered surface of the head portion 31 along the circumferential direction in order to make the flow paths L1 and L2 more completely closed, and the sealing material 5 is formed in the annular groove. Is embedded. The sealing material 5 can be formed by, for example, an O-ring or by baking a rubber material as disclosed in JP-A-2006-105285.

一方、本形態においては、図2中に拡大して示すように、頭部31の基端側に整流リング6を備えることもできる。この整流リング6は、底面が頭部31の底面とほぼ同じ径の円錐状とされており、軸心部には貫通孔が形成されている。この整流リング6を例えば流路L2に配置するにあたっては、底面が頭部31の底面と対面する向きとし、かつ軸心部に形成された貫通孔内を弁30の軸部32及び付勢部材8が通るようにする。この整流リング6の配置により、頭部31の基端側において乱流等が生じなくなるため、圧力損失が低減される。この整流リング6を配置するにあたっては、例えば、特開平8‐320092号公報などを参考にすることもできる。   On the other hand, in this embodiment, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 2, the rectifying ring 6 can be provided on the proximal end side of the head 31. The rectifying ring 6 has a bottom surface having a conical shape having substantially the same diameter as the bottom surface of the head portion 31, and a through hole is formed in the axial center portion. For example, when the rectifying ring 6 is disposed in the flow path L2, the bottom surface is oriented to face the bottom surface of the head portion 31, and the shaft portion 32 and the biasing member of the valve 30 pass through the through-hole formed in the shaft center portion. Let 8 pass. With the arrangement of the rectifying ring 6, turbulent flow or the like does not occur on the proximal end side of the head portion 31, so pressure loss is reduced. In disposing the rectifying ring 6, for example, JP-A-8-320092 can be referred to.

〔弁支持具〕
次に、本実施の形態の弁支持具Aについて、説明する。なお、弁支持具Aは、流路L1にも流路L2にも同じ形態のものを備えることができ、以下では、流路L1に備える場合を例に説明する。
(Valve support)
Next, the valve support A of the present embodiment will be described. In addition, the valve support A can be provided with the same form in both the flow path L1 and the flow path L2, and the case where it is provided in the flow path L1 will be described below as an example.

本実施の形態の弁支持具Aは、図3及び図4に示すように、軸通部A1と、架渡し部A2と、基部A3とで主に構成される。軸通部A1は、流路L1の断面方向に関して、弁30を構成する軸部32の周面に沿う形状、例えば、軸部32が断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。本形態において、軸通部A1は、相互に対向するように2つ備えられており、この2つで軸部32を囲い込む状態になっている。これにより、軸部32は、軸方向へ移動可能に支持される。一方、架渡し部A2は、軸通部A1の両端部A1aからそれぞれ筒体11の内周面11aまで延出しており、本形態では特に直線状とされている。また、基部A3は、相互に隣接する軸通部A1から延出する相互に隣接する架渡し部A2の先端部A2aと繋がり、内周面11aに沿う形状、つまり内周面11aが断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。このように架渡し部A2が軸通部A1と基部A3とに繋がることによって、軸通部A1が軸部32から受けた力は、基部A3、更には内周面11aに伝わる。したがって、この軸部32からの力がよりダイレクトに内周面11aに伝わるよう(力がダイレクトに伝わらないと、軸部32の移動方向が軸方向に対して傾いても内周面11aには伝わらず、傾いた状態での移動が解消されない可能性がある。)、架渡し部A2は、流路L1の径方向に延出し、特に直線状に延出するのが好ましい。架渡し部A2が直線状であると、材料費が削減されるとの効果や、圧力損失がより低減されるとの効果もある。また、弁支持具Aの安定性という観点からは、基部A3の長さが長い方が好ましい。この基部A3の長さは、一の基部A3と繋がる架渡し部A2の中心角Zと比例する。したがって、この中心角Zが大きくなると弁支持具Aは安定するが、他方、材料費や圧力損失も増加してしまう。そこで、これらのバランスという観点から、例えば、中心角Zを15〜180°とするのが好ましく、図示例のように60°とするのがより好ましい。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the valve support A of the present embodiment is mainly configured by a shaft passing part A <b> 1, a bridge part A <b> 2, and a base part A <b> 3. The shaft-passing portion A1 has a shape along the circumferential surface of the shaft portion 32 constituting the valve 30 with respect to the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1, for example, in the present embodiment in which the shaft portion 32 has a substantially circular cross section. It is arcuate. In this embodiment, two shaft-passing portions A1 are provided so as to face each other, and the shaft portion 32 is enclosed by these two. Thereby, the axial part 32 is supported so that a movement to an axial direction is possible. On the other hand, the bridge portion A2 extends from both end portions A1a of the shaft passing portion A1 to the inner peripheral surface 11a of the cylindrical body 11, and is particularly linear in this embodiment. Further, the base A3 is connected to the distal end A2a of the adjacent bridging portion A2 extending from the mutually adjacent shaft passing portions A1, and the shape along the inner peripheral surface 11a, that is, the inner peripheral surface 11a is substantially true in cross section. In the present embodiment, which is circular, it has an arc shape. In this way, the connecting portion A2 is connected to the shaft portion A1 and the base portion A3, whereby the force received by the shaft portion A1 from the shaft portion 32 is transmitted to the base portion A3 and further to the inner peripheral surface 11a. Therefore, the force from the shaft portion 32 is more directly transmitted to the inner peripheral surface 11a (if the force is not transmitted directly, the inner peripheral surface 11a has no movement even if the moving direction of the shaft portion 32 is inclined with respect to the axial direction). There is a possibility that the movement in the tilted state will not be resolved without being transmitted.) It is preferable that the transfer portion A2 extends in the radial direction of the flow path L1, and particularly extends linearly. When the transfer portion A2 is linear, there is an effect that the material cost is reduced and an effect that the pressure loss is further reduced. Further, from the viewpoint of the stability of the valve support A, it is preferable that the length of the base A3 is long. The length of the base portion A3 is proportional to the central angle Z of the transfer portion A2 connected to the one base portion A3. Therefore, when the central angle Z is increased, the valve support A is stabilized, but on the other hand, the material cost and the pressure loss are also increased. Therefore, from the viewpoint of these balances, for example, the central angle Z is preferably set to 15 to 180 °, and more preferably set to 60 ° as in the illustrated example.

他方、本実施の形態の弁支持具Aは、軸通部A1、架渡し部A2及び基部A3が、いずれも流路L1の断面方向が肉薄となる板状とされている。これにより、図3から明らかなように、流路L1を通る流体の圧力損失が著しく低減する。しかも、平らな板材やパイプなどの折り曲げ加工や、切り抜き加工などによって、弁支持具Aを製造することができ、製造コストが削減される。さらに、弁支持具Aの長さV(軸部32の軸方向を基準とする長さ、つまり流路L1の流れ方向を基準とする長さを意味する。)を長くするのみで、弁支持具Aの強度(この強度には、例えば、軸通部A1、架渡し部A2及び基部A3の一体化強度なども含まれる。)や安定性(例えば、内周面11aに対する安定性や、軸部32を安定的に支持できる点など。)を適宜向上させることができる。もちろん、この弁支持具Aの長さVは、掛止リング9の位置によっても影響を受ける。前述弁付管継手1においては、掛止リング9が、従来の弁付管継手100におけるよりも先端側に位置しており、これよりも基端側に位置させる場合は、弁支持具Aの長さVを長くすれば足りる。   On the other hand, in the valve support A of the present embodiment, the shaft passing part A1, the transfer part A2, and the base part A3 are all plate-like in which the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1 is thin. Thereby, as apparent from FIG. 3, the pressure loss of the fluid passing through the flow path L1 is significantly reduced. In addition, the valve support A can be manufactured by bending a flat plate or pipe, cutting, or the like, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. Further, the valve support A can be supported only by lengthening the length V of the valve support A (meaning the length based on the axial direction of the shaft portion 32, that is, the length based on the flow direction of the flow path L1). The strength of the tool A (this strength includes, for example, the integrated strength of the shaft passing portion A1, the spanning portion A2, and the base portion A3) and stability (for example, stability to the inner peripheral surface 11a, shaft The point which can support the part 32 stably etc.) can be improved suitably. Of course, the length V of the valve support A is also influenced by the position of the retaining ring 9. In the aforementioned valve-equipped pipe joint 1, the retaining ring 9 is located on the distal end side relative to the conventional valve-equipped pipe joint 100, and when it is located on the proximal end side, the valve support A Increasing the length V is sufficient.

本形態の弁支持具Aと従来の弁支持具40との比較試験を行ったところ、本形態の弁支持具Aによると、圧力損失を44%程度削減できることが知見された。   When a comparative test between the valve support A of the present embodiment and the conventional valve support 40 was performed, it was found that the pressure loss can be reduced by about 44% according to the valve support A of the present embodiment.

なお、本発明において板状とは、平らに広がっている状態、つまり平板状であることに限定されるものではなく、例えば、途中で折れたり曲がったりしている状態をも含む。   In addition, in this invention, plate shape is not limited to the state spread flatly, ie, it is flat shape, For example, the state bent or bent in the middle is also included.

ところで、本発明に係る弁支持具としては、以上で説明した弁支持具Aのほか、以下に示す形態も例示することができる。なお、以下の各形態では、流路L1にも流路L2にも同じ形態の弁支持具を備えることができるが、以下では、弁支持具を流路L1に備える場合を例に説明する。   By the way, as the valve support according to the present invention, in addition to the valve support A described above, the following forms can also be exemplified. In each of the following embodiments, the flow path L1 and the flow path L2 can be provided with the same type of valve support. However, in the following, a case where the valve support is provided in the flow path L1 will be described as an example.

(第1の変形例)
図5及び図6に示すように、本実施の形態の弁支持具Bは、軸通部B1と、架渡し部B2と、基部B3とで主に構成される。軸通部B1は、流路L1の断面方向に関して、弁30を構成する軸部32の周面に沿う形状、例えば、軸部32が断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。本形態において、軸通部B1は、相互に対向するように2つ備えられており、この2つで軸部32を囲い込む状態になっている。これにより、軸部32は、軸方向へ移動可能に支持される。以上の点において、弁支持具Bは、前述弁支持具Aと同様であるが、相互に隣接する軸通部B1間の距離が相互に隣接する軸通部A1間の距離よりも短く、つまり軸通部B1は軸通部A1よりも中心角が大きな円弧状となっている。弁支持具の安定性という観点からは本形態の弁支持具Bが、材料費の削減という観点からは前述した弁支持具Aが推奨される。
(First modification)
As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the valve support B of the present embodiment is mainly configured by a shaft passing part B1, a bridge part B2, and a base part B3. The shaft-passing portion B1 has a shape along the peripheral surface of the shaft portion 32 constituting the valve 30 with respect to the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1, for example, in the present embodiment in which the shaft portion 32 has a substantially circular cross section. It is arcuate. In this embodiment, two shaft-passing portions B1 are provided so as to face each other, and the shaft portion 32 is enclosed by these two. Thereby, the axial part 32 is supported so that a movement to an axial direction is possible. In the above point, the valve support B is the same as the valve support A described above, but the distance between the adjacent shaft passing portions B1 is shorter than the distance between the adjacent shaft passing portions A1, that is, The shaft passing portion B1 has an arc shape having a larger central angle than the shaft passing portion A1. The valve support B of this embodiment is recommended from the viewpoint of the stability of the valve support, and the above-described valve support A is recommended from the viewpoint of reducing the material cost.

本形態においても、架渡し部B2は、軸通部B1の両端部B1aからそれぞれ筒体11の内周面11aまで延出しており、本形態では特に直線状とされている。   Also in this embodiment, the bridge portion B2 extends from the both end portions B1a of the shaft passing portion B1 to the inner peripheral surface 11a of the cylindrical body 11, and in this embodiment, is particularly linear.

また、基部B3は、相互に隣接する軸通部B1から延出する相互に隣接する架渡し部B2の先端部B2aと繋がり、内周面11aに沿う形状、つまり内周面11aが断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。このように架渡し部B2が軸通部B1と基部B3とに繋がることによって、軸通部B1が軸部32から受けた力は、基部B3、更には内周面11aに伝わる。この軸部32からの力がよりダイレクトに内周面11aに伝わるという観点からは、前述したように架渡し部B2は、流路L1の径方向に延出するのが好ましいが、本形態のように径方向に延出しない形態とすることもできる。ただし、本形態においても、架渡し部B2は、直線状に延出している。架渡し部B2が直線状であると、材料費が削減されるとの効果や、圧力損失がより低減されるとの効果がある。また、弁支持具Bの安定性という観点からは、基部B3の長さが長い方が好ましい。この基部B3の長さは、一の基部B3と繋がる架渡し部B2の中心角Z2と比例する。したがって、この中心角Z2が大きくなると弁支持具Bは安定するが、他方、材料費や圧力損失も増加してしまう。ただし、架渡し部B2が流路L1の径方向に延出しない本形態においては、弁支持具Bの安定性をより重視し、中心角Z2を180°としている。   Further, the base B3 is connected to the tip B2a of the adjacent bridging part B2 extending from the mutually adjacent shaft passing parts B1, and the shape along the inner peripheral surface 11a, that is, the inner peripheral surface 11a is substantially true in cross section. In the present embodiment, which is circular, it has an arc shape. In this way, the connecting part B2 is connected to the shaft part B1 and the base part B3, whereby the force received by the shaft part B1 from the shaft part 32 is transmitted to the base part B3 and further to the inner peripheral surface 11a. From the viewpoint that the force from the shaft portion 32 is more directly transmitted to the inner peripheral surface 11a, the bridge portion B2 preferably extends in the radial direction of the flow path L1 as described above. Thus, it is possible to adopt a form that does not extend in the radial direction. However, also in this embodiment, the bridge portion B2 extends linearly. When the transfer part B2 is linear, there is an effect that the material cost is reduced and an effect that the pressure loss is further reduced. Further, from the viewpoint of the stability of the valve support B, it is preferable that the length of the base B3 is longer. The length of the base portion B3 is proportional to the central angle Z2 of the bridge portion B2 connected to the one base portion B3. Accordingly, when the central angle Z2 is increased, the valve support B is stabilized, but on the other hand, the material cost and the pressure loss are also increased. However, in the present embodiment in which the bridge portion B2 does not extend in the radial direction of the flow path L1, the stability of the valve support B is more important and the center angle Z2 is 180 °.

また、本実施の形態の弁支持具Bも、軸通部B1、架渡し部B2及び基部B3を、いずれも流路L1の断面方向が肉薄となる板状としている。これによる効果は、前述した弁支持具Aの場合と同様である。   Also, in the valve support B of the present embodiment, the shaft passing part B1, the bridge part B2, and the base part B3 are all plate-like in which the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1 is thin. The effect by this is the same as that of the valve support A described above.

(第2の変形例)
図7及び図8に示すように、本実施の形態の弁支持具Cは、軸通部C1と、架渡し部C2と、基部C3とで主に構成される。軸通部C1は、流路L1の断面方向に関して、弁30を構成する軸部32の周面に沿う形状、例えば、軸部32が断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。本形態において、軸通部C1は、相互に対向するように2つ備えられており、この2つで軸部32を囲い込む状態になっている。これにより、軸部32は、軸方向へ移動可能に支持される。以上の点において、弁支持具Cは、前述弁支持具Aや弁支持具Bと同様であるが、相互に隣接する軸通部C1間の距離が相互に隣接する軸通部B1間の距離よりも更に短く、つまり軸通部C1は軸通部B1よりも中心角が更に大きな円弧状となっており、相互に隣接する軸通部C1同士が当接している。弁支持具の安定性という観点からは本形態の弁支持具Cが好ましいが、材料費の削減という観点からは相互に隣接する軸通部同士が当接していない前述した弁支持具Aや弁支持具Bが推奨される。
(Second modification)
As shown in FIG.7 and FIG.8, the valve support C of this Embodiment is mainly comprised by the axial part C1, the transfer part C2, and the base C3. The shaft-passing portion C1 has a shape along the circumferential surface of the shaft portion 32 constituting the valve 30 with respect to the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1, for example, in the present embodiment in which the shaft portion 32 has a substantially circular cross section. It is arcuate. In this embodiment, two shaft-passing portions C1 are provided so as to face each other, and the shaft portion 32 is enclosed by these two. Thereby, the axial part 32 is supported so that a movement to an axial direction is possible. In the above points, the valve support C is the same as the valve support A and the valve support B described above, but the distance between the adjacent shaft passing portions C1 is the distance between the adjacent shaft passing portions B1. Is shorter, that is, the shaft portion C1 has an arc shape with a larger central angle than the shaft portion B1, and the adjacent shaft portions C1 are in contact with each other. From the viewpoint of the stability of the valve support, the valve support C of the present embodiment is preferable, but from the viewpoint of reducing the material cost, the above-described valve support A and valve in which the adjacent shaft passing portions are not in contact with each other. Support B is recommended.

本形態においても、架渡し部C2は、軸通部C1の両端部C1aからそれぞれ筒体11の内周面11aまで延出しているが、本形態では直線状とされていない。また、基部C3は、相互に隣接する軸通部C1から延出する相互に隣接する架渡し部C2の先端部C2aと繋がり、内周面11aに沿う形状、つまり内周面11aが断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。このように架渡し部C2が軸通部C1と基部C3とに繋がることによって、軸通部C1が軸部32から受けた力は、基部C3、更には内周面11aに伝わる。この軸部32からの力がよりダイレクトに内周面11aに伝わるという観点からは、前述したように架渡し部C2は、流路L1の径方向に延出し、かつ直線状であるのが好ましいが、本形態のように径方向に延出せず、また、直線状でない形態とすることもできる。本形態においては、相互に隣接する架渡し部C2の基端部C2b同士が当接しており、先端側は離れているため直線状となっていないが、基端部C2b同士の当接によって、特にこの部分を接着剤による接着や溶接などによって接合することによって弁支持具Cに力が加わった際の歪みが抑制されるとの利点を有する。また、前述したように弁支持具Cの安定性という観点からは、基部C3の長さが長い方が好ましいが、他方、基部C3の長さが長くなると材料費や圧力損失も増加してしまう。そこで、これらのバランスという観点から、基部C3の長さは適宜設計することができ、図示例では前述した弁支持具Aの基部A3と同じとしている。   Also in this embodiment, the bridge portion C2 extends from the both end portions C1a of the shaft passing portion C1 to the inner peripheral surface 11a of the cylindrical body 11, but is not linear in this embodiment. The base portion C3 is connected to the distal end portion C2a of the adjacent crossing portions C2 extending from the mutually adjacent shaft passing portions C1, and the shape along the inner peripheral surface 11a, that is, the inner peripheral surface 11a is substantially true in cross section. In the present embodiment, which is circular, it has an arc shape. In this way, the connecting part C2 is connected to the shaft part C1 and the base part C3, whereby the force received by the shaft part C1 from the shaft part 32 is transmitted to the base part C3 and further to the inner peripheral surface 11a. From the viewpoint that the force from the shaft portion 32 is more directly transmitted to the inner peripheral surface 11a, it is preferable that the transfer portion C2 extends in the radial direction of the flow path L1 and is linear as described above. However, it does not extend in the radial direction as in the present embodiment, and may be a non-linear form. In this embodiment, the proximal end portions C2b of the bridge portions C2 adjacent to each other are in contact with each other, and the distal end side is separated so that it is not linear, but due to the contact between the proximal end portions C2b, In particular, there is an advantage that the distortion when a force is applied to the valve support C is suppressed by joining this portion by bonding with an adhesive or welding. Further, as described above, from the viewpoint of the stability of the valve support C, it is preferable that the length of the base C3 is longer. On the other hand, if the length of the base C3 is increased, the material cost and the pressure loss are also increased. . Therefore, from the viewpoint of these balances, the length of the base C3 can be designed as appropriate, and in the illustrated example, it is the same as the base A3 of the valve support A described above.

また、本実施の形態の弁支持具Cも、軸通部C1、架渡し部C2及び基部C3を、いずれも流路L1の断面方向が肉薄となる板状としている。これによる効果は、前述した弁支持具Aの場合と同様である。   Further, in the valve support C of the present embodiment, the shaft passing portion C1, the bridge portion C2, and the base portion C3 are all plate-shaped so that the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1 is thin. The effect by this is the same as that of the valve support A described above.

(第3の変形例)
図9及び図10に示すように、本実施の形態の弁支持具Dは、軸通部D1と、架渡し部D2と、基部D3とで主に構成される。軸通部D1は、流路L1の断面方向に関して、弁30を構成する軸部32の周面に沿う形状、例えば、軸部32が断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。本形態において、軸通部D1は、相互に対向するように2つ備えられており、この2つで軸部32を囲い込む状態になっている。これにより、軸部32は、軸方向へ移動可能に支持される。以上の点において、弁支持具Dは、前述弁支持具Aや弁支持具Bと同様であるが、相互に隣接する軸通部D1間の距離が相互に隣接する軸通部B1間の距離よりも更に短く、つまり軸通部D1は軸通部B1よりも中心角が更に大きな円弧状となっており、弁支持具Cの軸通部C1と同様に、相互に隣接する軸通部D1同士が当接している。これによる作用効果は、軸通部C1の場合と同様である。
(Third Modification)
As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the valve support D of the present embodiment is mainly configured by a shaft passing portion D <b> 1, a spanning portion D <b> 2, and a base portion D <b> 3. The shaft-passing portion D1 has a shape along the circumferential surface of the shaft portion 32 constituting the valve 30 with respect to the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1, for example, in the present embodiment in which the shaft portion 32 has a substantially circular cross section. It is arcuate. In this embodiment, two shaft-passing portions D1 are provided so as to face each other, and the shaft portion 32 is enclosed by these two. Thereby, the axial part 32 is supported so that a movement to an axial direction is possible. In the above points, the valve support D is the same as the valve support A and the valve support B described above, but the distance between the adjacent shaft passing portions D1 is the distance between the adjacent shaft passing portions B1. Is shorter, that is, the shaft-passing portion D1 has an arc shape whose central angle is larger than that of the shaft-passing portion B1, and is similar to the shaft-passing portion C1 of the valve support C. They are in contact with each other. The effect by this is the same as that of the axial part C1.

本形態においても、架渡し部D2は、軸通部D1の両端部D1aからそれぞれ筒体11の内周面11aまで延出しているが、本形態では直線状とされていない。また、基部D3は、相互に隣接する軸通部D1から延出する相互に隣接する架渡し部D2の先端部D2aと繋がり、内周面11aに沿う形状、つまり内周面11aが断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。このように架渡し部D2が軸通部D1と基部D3とに繋がることによって、軸通部D1が軸部32から受けた力は、基部D3、更には内周面11aに伝わる。この軸部32からの力がよりダイレクトに内周面11aに伝わるという観点からは、前述したように架渡し部D2は、流路L1の径方向に延出し、かつ直線状であるのが好ましいが、本形態において、架渡し部D2は、径方向に延出する部位を有するものの直線状でない。具体的には、相互に隣接する架渡し部D2は、基端側が相互に当接し、この当接状態で径方向に延出するものの、途中で折れ曲がり、先端側D2bは径方向ではなく基部D3に沿う方向に延出しており、相互に当接していない。このように本形態の架渡し部D2は直線状となっていないが、軸部32からの力がよりダイレクトに内周面11aに伝わるという点において直線状である形態と同等であり、架渡し部D2が直線状であること自体に意味があるのではないことを明らかしている。ただし、材料費の削減や圧力損失の低減という観点からは、先端側D2bを有しない弁支持具Aの形態が推奨される。   Also in this embodiment, the bridge portion D2 extends from both end portions D1a of the shaft passing portion D1 to the inner peripheral surface 11a of the cylindrical body 11, but is not linear in this embodiment. Further, the base D3 is connected to the tip end D2a of the adjacent crossing part D2 extending from the mutually adjacent shaft passing parts D1, and the shape along the inner peripheral surface 11a, that is, the inner peripheral surface 11a is substantially true in cross section. In the present embodiment, which is circular, it has an arc shape. Thus, the connecting part D2 is connected to the shaft passing part D1 and the base part D3, whereby the force received by the shaft passing part D1 from the shaft part 32 is transmitted to the base D3 and further to the inner peripheral surface 11a. From the viewpoint that the force from the shaft portion 32 is more directly transmitted to the inner peripheral surface 11a, it is preferable that the transfer portion D2 extends in the radial direction of the flow path L1 and is linear as described above. However, in this embodiment, the bridge portion D2 has a portion extending in the radial direction but is not linear. Specifically, the bridging portions D2 adjacent to each other are in contact with each other at the base ends and extend in the radial direction in this contact state, but are bent in the middle, and the tip end D2b is not in the radial direction but the base portion D3. Extending in a direction along the lines and not in contact with each other. As described above, the bridge portion D2 of this embodiment is not linear, but is equivalent to the linear shape in that the force from the shaft portion 32 is more directly transmitted to the inner peripheral surface 11a. It is clear that the portion D2 is not meaningful in itself. However, the form of the valve support A that does not have the distal end side D2b is recommended from the viewpoint of reducing material costs and pressure loss.

本形態の弁支持具Dも、弁支持具Cと同様に、架渡し部D2同士の当接、あるいは接合によって弁支持具Dに力が加わった際の歪みが抑制されるとの利点を有する。また、前述したように弁支持具Dの安定性という観点からは、基部D3の長さが長い方が好ましいが、他方、基部D3の長さが長くなると材料費や圧力損失も増加してしまう。そこで、これらのバランスという観点から、基部D3の長さは適宜設計することができ、図示例では前述した弁支持具Aの基部A3と同じとしている。   Similarly to the valve support C, the valve support D of this embodiment also has an advantage that distortion when force is applied to the valve support D by contact or joining of the spanning portions D2 is suppressed. . Further, as described above, from the viewpoint of the stability of the valve support D, it is preferable that the length of the base portion D3 is longer. On the other hand, if the length of the base portion D3 is increased, the material cost and the pressure loss are also increased. . Therefore, from the viewpoint of these balances, the length of the base D3 can be designed as appropriate, and is the same as the base A3 of the valve support A described above in the illustrated example.

一方、本実施の形態の弁支持具Dも、軸通部D1、架渡し部D2及び基部D3を、いずれも流路L1の断面方向が肉薄となる板状としている。これによる効果は、前述した弁支持具Aの場合と同様である。   On the other hand, also in the valve support D of the present embodiment, the shaft passing part D1, the spanning part D2, and the base part D3 are all plate-like in which the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1 is thin. The effect by this is the same as that of the valve support A described above.

(第4の変形例)
図11及び図12に示すように、本実施の形態の弁支持具Eは、軸通部E1と、架渡し部E2と、基部E3とで主に構成される。軸通部E1は、流路L1の断面方向に関して、弁30を構成する軸部32の周面に沿う形状、例えば、軸部32が断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。本形態において、軸通部E1は、相互の離間距離が均等となるように3つ備えられており、この3つで軸部32を囲い込む状態になっている。これにより、軸部32は、軸方向へ移動可能に支持される。弁支持具Eは、軸通部E1が3つとされている点において弁支持具Aと異なるが、相互に隣接する軸通部E1間の距離は同じとされている。結果、軸通部E1は、軸通部A1よりも中心角が小さな円弧状となっている。このように本発明において、軸通部の数は特に限定されず、例えば、2つ、3つ、4つ又はそれ以上の複数とすることができるが、材料費の削減、圧力損失の低減、製造容易性という観点からは、その数が少ない方が好ましく、特に2つでも弁を十分に支持できることが知見されている。
(Fourth modification)
As shown in FIG.11 and FIG.12, the valve support E of this Embodiment is mainly comprised by the axial part E1, the transfer part E2, and the base E3. The shaft-passing portion E1 has a shape along the circumferential surface of the shaft portion 32 constituting the valve 30 with respect to the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1, for example, in the present embodiment in which the shaft portion 32 has a substantially circular cross section. It is arcuate. In this embodiment, three shaft-passing portions E1 are provided so that the mutual separation distances are equal, and the shaft portion 32 is enclosed by these three. Thereby, the axial part 32 is supported so that a movement to an axial direction is possible. The valve support E is different from the valve support A in that the three shaft passing portions E1 are provided, but the distance between the shaft passing portions E1 adjacent to each other is the same. As a result, the shaft passing portion E1 has an arc shape having a smaller central angle than the shaft passing portion A1. Thus, in the present invention, the number of shaft-passing portions is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, two, three, four, or more, but it is possible to reduce material costs, pressure loss, From the viewpoint of manufacturability, it is preferable that the number is smaller, and it has been found that even two can sufficiently support the valve.

一方、本形態においても架渡し部E2は、弁支持具Aと同様に、軸通部E1の両端部E1aからそれぞれ筒体11の内周面11aまで延出しており、本形態でも特に直線状とされている。また、基部E3は、相互に隣接する軸通部E1から延出する相互に隣接する架渡し部E2の先端部E2aと繋がり、内周面11aに沿う形状、つまり内周面11aが断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。このように架渡し部E2が軸通部E1と基部E3とに繋がることによって、軸通部E1が軸部32から受けた力は、基部E3、更には内周面11aに伝わる。したがって、この軸部32からの力がよりダイレクトに内周面11aに伝わるよう、架渡し部E2は、流路L1の径方向に延出し、特に直線状に延出する形態が好ましく、この形態を弁支持具Eは採用している。これによる作用効果は、弁支持具Aにおけると同様である。   On the other hand, in this embodiment as well as the valve support A, the spanning portion E2 extends from both end portions E1a of the shaft passing portion E1 to the inner peripheral surface 11a of the cylindrical body 11, and in this embodiment as well, it is particularly linear. It is said that. The base E3 is connected to the tip E2a of the adjacent bridging part E2 extending from the mutually adjacent shafts E1, and the shape along the inner peripheral surface 11a, that is, the inner peripheral surface 11a is substantially true in cross section. In the present embodiment, which is circular, it has an arc shape. In this way, the connecting portion E2 is connected to the shaft portion E1 and the base portion E3, whereby the force received by the shaft portion E1 from the shaft portion 32 is transmitted to the base portion E3 and further to the inner peripheral surface 11a. Therefore, in order that the force from the shaft portion 32 is more directly transmitted to the inner peripheral surface 11a, the extending portion E2 is preferably extended in the radial direction of the flow path L1, and particularly preferably linearly extended. The valve support E is employed. The effect by this is the same as in the valve support A.

弁支持具Eの安定性という観点からは、弁支持具Aと同様に、基部E3の長さが長い方が好ましい。ただし、前述したように、この長さは、材料費や圧力損失の問題と相反する側面を有することから、弁支持具Aにおけるのと同様の観点で調節する必要があり、図示例では弁支持具Aにおける基部A3と同様の長さ、形状としている。   From the viewpoint of the stability of the valve support E, like the valve support A, the base E3 is preferably long. However, as described above, since this length has a side that is in conflict with the problem of material cost and pressure loss, it is necessary to adjust from the same viewpoint as in the valve support A. It has the same length and shape as the base A3 in the tool A.

また、本実施の形態の弁支持具Eも、軸通部E1、架渡し部E2及び基部E3が、いずれも流路L1の断面方向が肉薄となる板状とされている。これによる効果は、前述した弁支持具Aの場合と同様である。   Also, in the valve support E of the present embodiment, the shaft passing portion E1, the spanning portion E2, and the base portion E3 are all plate-like in which the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1 is thin. The effect by this is the same as that of the valve support A described above.

(第5の変形例)
図13及び図14に示すように、本実施の形態の弁支持具Fは、軸通部F1と、架渡し部F2と、基部F3とで主に構成される。軸通部F1は、流路L1の断面方向に関して、弁30を構成する軸部32の周面に沿う形状、例えば、軸部32が断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。本形態において、軸通部F1は、相互の離間距離が均等となるように4つ備えられており、この4つで軸部32を囲い込む状態になっている。これにより、軸部32は、軸方向へ移動可能に支持される。弁支持具Fは、軸通部F1が4つとされている点において、軸通部E1が3つとされている弁支持具Eを改良したものである。もっとも、軸通部F1は、軸通部E1よりも離間距離が短くなっており、その長さ、つまり中心角が、同じ円弧状となっている。
(Fifth modification)
As shown in FIG.13 and FIG.14, the valve support F of this Embodiment is mainly comprised by the axial part F1, the transfer part F2, and the base F3. The shaft passing portion F1 has a shape along the circumferential surface of the shaft portion 32 constituting the valve 30 with respect to the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1, for example, in the present embodiment in which the shaft portion 32 has a substantially circular cross section. It is arcuate. In this embodiment, four shaft-passing portions F1 are provided so that the mutual separation distances are equal, and the shaft portion 32 is enclosed by these four. Thereby, the axial part 32 is supported so that a movement to an axial direction is possible. The valve support F is an improvement over the valve support E having three shaft-passing portions E1 in that four shaft-passing portions F1 are provided. However, the axial part F1 has a shorter separation distance than the axial part E1, and its length, that is, the central angle, has the same arc shape.

一方、本形態においても架渡し部F2は、弁支持具Aや弁支持具Eと同様に、軸通部F1の両端部F1aからそれぞれ筒体11の内周面11aまで延出しており、本形態でも特に直線状とされている。また、基部F3は、相互に隣接する軸通部F1から延出する相互に隣接する架渡し部F2の先端部F2aと繋がり、内周面11aに沿う形状、つまり内周面11aが断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、円弧状とされている。このように架渡し部F2が軸通部F1と基部F3とに繋がることによって、軸通部F1が軸部32から受けた力は、基部F3、更には内周面11aに伝わる。したがって、この軸部32からの力がよりダイレクトに内周面11aに伝わるよう、架渡し部F2は、流路L1の径方向に延出し、特に直線状に延出する形態が好ましく、この形態を弁支持具Fも採用している。これによる作用効果は、弁支持具Aや弁支持具Eにおけると同様である。   On the other hand, in this embodiment as well as the valve support A and the valve support E, the transfer portion F2 extends from the both ends F1a of the shaft passing portion F1 to the inner peripheral surface 11a of the cylindrical body 11, respectively. The form is also particularly straight. The base portion F3 is connected to the distal end portion F2a of the adjacent bridging portions F2 extending from the mutually adjacent shaft passing portions F1, and the shape along the inner peripheral surface 11a, that is, the inner peripheral surface 11a is substantially true in cross section. In the present embodiment, which is circular, it has an arc shape. Thus, the connecting part F2 is connected to the shaft part F1 and the base part F3, whereby the force received by the shaft part F1 from the shaft part 32 is transmitted to the base part F3 and further to the inner peripheral surface 11a. Therefore, in order that the force from the shaft portion 32 is more directly transmitted to the inner peripheral surface 11a, the bridge portion F2 preferably extends in the radial direction of the flow path L1, and particularly extends linearly. The valve support F is also adopted. The effect by this is the same as in the valve support A and the valve support E.

弁支持具Fの安定性という観点からは、弁支持具Aや弁支持具Eと同様に、基部F3の長さが長い方が好ましい。ただし、前述したように、この長さは、材料費や圧力損失の問題と相反する側面を有することから、弁支持具Aや弁支持具Eにおけるのと同様の観点で調節する必要がある。本形態では、軸通部F1の離間距離が短くなっており、これに連動して基部F3の長さも短くなっている。ただし、基部F3の数が4つに増えているため、安定性に劣ることはない。   From the viewpoint of the stability of the valve support F, like the valve support A and the valve support E, it is preferable that the length of the base F3 is longer. However, as described above, this length has a side face that conflicts with the problem of material cost and pressure loss, and therefore, it is necessary to adjust from the same viewpoint as in the valve support A and the valve support E. In this embodiment, the separation distance of the shaft passing portion F1 is shortened, and the length of the base portion F3 is shortened in conjunction with this. However, since the number of base F3 is increased to four, stability is not inferior.

また、本実施の形態の弁支持具Fも、軸通部F1、架渡し部F2及び基部F3が、いずれも流路L1の断面方向が肉薄となる板状とされている。これによる効果は、前述した弁支持具Aなどの場合と同様である。   Also, in the valve support F of the present embodiment, the shaft passing portion F1, the spanning portion F2, and the base portion F3 are all plate-like in which the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1 is thin. The effect by this is the same as that of the valve support A etc. mentioned above.

(第6の変形例)
図15及び図16に示すように、本実施の形態の弁支持具Gは、弁支持具Aを変形したものであり、弁支持具Aとともに、内円筒G1を有する。この内円筒G1は、軸通部A1に内接し、かつ弁30を構成する軸部32に外接する。より詳細には、内円筒G1は、流路L1の断面方向に関して、軸部32の周面及び軸通部A1の内周面に沿う形状、例えば、軸部32が断面略真円形状とされ、かつ軸通部A1が円弧状とされている本形態においては、真円形状とされている。このように、本形態においては、軸通部A1が内円筒G1を介して間接的に、軸部32を囲い込み、支持することになる。
(Sixth Modification)
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the valve support G of the present embodiment is a modification of the valve support A, and has an inner cylinder G1 together with the valve support A. The inner cylinder G1 is inscribed in the shaft passing part A1 and circumscribed in the shaft part 32 constituting the valve 30. More specifically, the inner cylinder G1 has a shape along the circumferential surface of the shaft portion 32 and the inner circumferential surface of the shaft passing portion A1 with respect to the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1, for example, the shaft portion 32 has a substantially circular cross section. And in this form by which axial part A1 is made into circular arc shape, it is set as perfect circle shape. As described above, in this embodiment, the shaft passing portion A1 indirectly surrounds and supports the shaft portion 32 via the inner cylinder G1.

一方、内円筒G1は、図16に示すように、流路L1の流れ方向に関して、弁支持具Aよりも長くなっており、軸部32を支持するについての安定性を向上させている。この安定性は、例えば、前述弁支持具A単体の形態において、弁支持具Aの長さV(図4参照)を長くすることでも達成することができるが、本形態のように、内円筒G1を設け、この内円筒G1の長さのみを長くした方が材料費を削減できる可能性がある。ただし、弁支持具Aや内円筒G1の材質や流路L1の流れ方向に関する長さ等によっては、内円筒G1を設けず、弁支持具A単体としその長さを調節した方が材料費を削減できる場合もある。しかも、内円筒G1を設けない方が、圧力損失が低減され、また、製造も容易となる。したがって、総合的には、前述した弁支持具A単体の形態を推奨する。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 16, the inner cylinder G1 is longer than the valve support A with respect to the flow direction of the flow path L1, and improves the stability of supporting the shaft portion 32. This stability can be achieved, for example, by increasing the length V (see FIG. 4) of the valve support A in the form of the valve support A alone, but the inner cylinder as in the present embodiment. If G1 is provided and only the length of the inner cylinder G1 is increased, the material cost may be reduced. However, depending on the material of the valve support A and the inner cylinder G1, the length of the flow path L1 in the flow direction, etc., it is more expensive to adjust the length of the valve support A alone without providing the inner cylinder G1. In some cases, it can be reduced. In addition, if the inner cylinder G1 is not provided, the pressure loss is reduced and the manufacture is facilitated. Therefore, generally, the form of the above-described valve support A alone is recommended.

本形態において、弁支持具Aと内円筒G1を一体化させる方法は、特に限定されず、例えば、接着剤による接着、溶接などによることができる。   In this embodiment, the method for integrating the valve support A and the inner cylinder G1 is not particularly limited, and for example, adhesion by an adhesive, welding, or the like can be used.

なお、内円筒G1は、円筒状であり、したがって流路L1の断面方向が肉薄となる(曲)板状である。   The inner cylinder G1 has a cylindrical shape, and thus has a (curved) plate shape in which the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1 is thin.

(第7の変形例)
図17及び図18に示すように、本実施の形態の弁支持具Hも、弁支持具Aを変形したものであり、弁支持具Aとともに、外円筒H1を有する。この外円筒H1は、基部A3に外接し、かつ筒体11の内周面11aに内接する。より詳細には、外円筒H1は、流路L1の断面方向に関して、基部A3の外周面及び筒体11の内周面11aに沿う形状、例えば、基部A3が円弧状とされ、かつ筒体11の内周面11aが断面略真円形状とされている本形態においては、真円形状とされている。このように、本形態においては、基部A3が外円筒H1を介して間接的に、筒体11の内周面11aに沿っている。
(Seventh Modification)
As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the valve support H of the present embodiment is also a modification of the valve support A, and has an outer cylinder H <b> 1 together with the valve support A. The outer cylinder H1 circumscribes the base A3 and inscribes the inner peripheral surface 11a of the cylindrical body 11. More specifically, the outer cylinder H1 has a shape along the outer peripheral surface of the base A3 and the inner peripheral surface 11a of the cylinder 11 with respect to the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1, for example, the base A3 has an arc shape, and the cylinder 11 In the present embodiment in which the inner peripheral surface 11a has a substantially circular cross section, the inner peripheral surface 11a has a perfect circular shape. Thus, in this embodiment, the base A3 is indirectly along the inner peripheral surface 11a of the cylindrical body 11 via the outer cylinder H1.

一方、外円筒H1は、図18に示すように、流路L1の流れ方向に関して、弁支持具Aよりも長くなっており、筒体11の内周面11aに支持されるについての安定性を向上させている。この安定性は、例えば、前述弁支持具A単体の形態において、弁支持具Aの長さV(図4参照)を長くすることでも達成することができるが、本形態のように、外円筒H1を設け、この外円筒H1の長さのみを長くした方が材料費を削減できる可能性がある。ただし、弁支持具Aや外円筒H1の材質や流路L1の流れ方向に関する長さ等によっては、外円筒H1を設けず、弁支持具A単体としその長さを調節した方が材料費を削減できる場合もある。しかも、外円筒H1を設けない方が、圧力損失が低減され、また、製造も容易となる。したがって、総合的には、前述した弁支持具A単体の形態を推奨する。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 18, the outer cylinder H1 is longer than the valve support A with respect to the flow direction of the flow path L1, and is stable with respect to being supported by the inner peripheral surface 11a of the cylindrical body 11. It is improving. This stability can be achieved, for example, by increasing the length V (see FIG. 4) of the valve support A in the form of the valve support A alone, but the outer cylinder as in the present embodiment. If H1 is provided and only the length of the outer cylinder H1 is increased, the material cost may be reduced. However, depending on the material of the valve support A and the outer cylinder H1, the length of the flow path L1 in the flow direction, etc., it is more costly to adjust the length of the valve support A alone without providing the outer cylinder H1. In some cases, it can be reduced. Moreover, the pressure loss is reduced and the manufacture is facilitated when the outer cylinder H1 is not provided. Therefore, generally, the form of the above-described valve support A alone is recommended.

本形態において、弁支持具Aと外円筒H1を一体化させる方法は、特に限定されず、例えば、接着剤による接着、溶接などによることができる。   In the present embodiment, the method for integrating the valve support A and the outer cylinder H1 is not particularly limited, and for example, bonding with an adhesive, welding, or the like can be used.

なお、外円筒H1は、円筒状であり、したがって流路L1の断面方向が肉薄となる(曲)板状である。   The outer cylinder H1 has a cylindrical shape, and thus has a (curved) plate shape in which the cross-sectional direction of the flow path L1 is thin.

〔その他〕
以上、本形態の弁支持具A〜Hの素材は、特に限定されず、例えば、SUS303、304などを用いることができる。

As described above, the material of the valve supports A to H of the present embodiment is not particularly limited, and for example, SUS303, 304 or the like can be used.
