Description

この発明は、金属部品と樹脂部品とを結合させてなる複合部品としての弁装置用の弁本体構造、及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a valve body structure for a valve device as a composite part formed by joining a metal part and a resin part, and a method for manufacturing the same.

従来、部品同士を一体化する結合として、金属部品同士の結合の場合には、一方の部品を他方の部品内に圧入する手法がよく用いられている。金属部品と樹脂部品との一体的な結合の場合には、型の中に金属を置いて周囲に樹脂を流し込み樹脂が硬化したときに金属部品が樹脂と一体化されるインサート成形という手法が用いられている。   Conventionally, in the case of joining metal parts as a joining for integrating parts, a technique of press-fitting one part into the other part is often used. In the case of an integral connection between a metal part and a resin part, an insert molding method is used in which the metal part is integrated with the resin when the resin is cured by placing the metal in a mold and pouring the resin around it. It has been.

内包する部品を組み付けた後からインサートするという手法がある。この手法では、樹脂部品の内径に対して金属部品の外形を大きくしておき、金属部品に振動を与えて、金属部品が径の重なった部分の樹脂を溶かしながら金属部品を樹脂部品内に入れて結合する。この手法も、広義のインサート成形と称されている。この手法には、溶けた樹脂をどこかに収容しなくてはならないとう難点が存在する。また、この手法では位置精度を治工具に頼らなければならない、という問題がある。こうした製造手法を、例えば弁の製造に適用した場合、溶融した樹脂がバリとして周囲に飛び出る現象が生じ、弁漏れや、シール不良の原因になることがある。また、位置精度(横方向)を得にくいという問題もある。   There is a technique of inserting after assembling the parts to be included. In this method, the outer shape of the metal part is made larger than the inner diameter of the resin part, the metal part is vibrated, and the metal part is placed in the resin part while melting the resin where the diameter overlaps. And combine. This technique is also called insert molding in a broad sense. This approach has the disadvantage that the molten resin must be contained somewhere. In addition, this method has a problem that the position accuracy must be relied on a jig. When such a manufacturing method is applied to, for example, the manufacture of a valve, a phenomenon in which molten resin jumps out as a burr occurs, which may cause valve leakage or a seal failure. There is also a problem that it is difficult to obtain positional accuracy (lateral direction).

温度式膨張弁として、弁本体と、オリフィス、弁体及び該弁体を作動させる作動棒からなる絞り機構と、蒸発器から圧縮機に向かって送り出される冷媒の温度に応じて絞り機構を制御する制御機構とを備えており、金属部材にて形成されたオリフィスを樹脂で形成されている弁本体にインサート成形によって固定したものが提案されている(特許文献1参照)。
また、金属製の弁座部材に弁孔を画定し且つ外周面に雄ねじを形成された円筒部を設け、円筒部を合成樹脂製のハウジング本体に形成された弁孔下穴にねじ込むことにより、ハウジング本体の成形型構造を複雑にすることなく、弁座部材を成形完了後のハウジング本体に配置位置をインサート成形による場合よりも高精度に固定することを図った温度膨張弁が提案されている(特許文献2参照)。

As a temperature-type expansion valve, the throttle mechanism is controlled in accordance with the temperature of the valve body, the orifice, the valve body, and the operating rod for operating the valve body, and the refrigerant sent from the evaporator toward the compressor. There is proposed a control mechanism, in which an orifice formed of a metal member is fixed to a valve body formed of resin by insert molding (see Patent Document 1).
Further, by defining a valve hole in the metal valve seat member and providing a cylindrical part formed with a male screw on the outer peripheral surface, and screwing the cylindrical part into a valve hole pilot hole formed in the housing body made of synthetic resin, There has been proposed a temperature expansion valve that is intended to fix the position of the valve seat member to the housing body after the molding is completed with higher precision than in the case of insert molding without complicating the molding structure of the housing body. (See Patent Document 2).

例えば、流量制御弁のように弁体が接離する弁シート(弁座)を持つ弁については、弁シートを樹脂製シートとした場合、扱う流体によってはエロージョン、コロージョンを受け易くなり、また樹脂製であると軟らかいために、弁体が繰り返して接離することに起因して摩耗をする。したがって、弁シートについては金属製とすることが求められる。また、弁体を駆動する手段として送りねじ機構が用いられるが、ねじ部品を樹脂にすると、摩耗することに起因して動作不良や流量の制御性が悪化するおそれがあるので、金属製とすることが望まれている。金属ねじを先に金型に入れて樹脂成形すると、弁棒やコイルのような内機部品の外径がねじ部内径よりも大きい場合には、ねじ移動機構を構成する雄ねじやばね等の部品を後から組み込むことが困難になる。   For example, for a valve with a valve seat (valve seat) that contacts and separates, such as a flow control valve, if the valve seat is made of resin, depending on the fluid to be handled, it tends to be subject to erosion and corrosion. Since it is soft when made, it wears due to repeated contact and separation of the valve body. Therefore, the valve seat is required to be made of metal. In addition, a feed screw mechanism is used as a means for driving the valve body. However, if the screw part is made of resin, it may be worn out, resulting in deterioration of operation and controllability of the flow rate due to wear. It is hoped that. When a metal screw is first placed in a mold and molded with resin, if the outer diameter of the internal parts such as a valve stem or coil is larger than the inner diameter of the threaded part, the parts such as male screws and springs that make up the screw moving mechanism It becomes difficult to incorporate later.

そこで、弁装置用の弁本体構造とその製造において、金属部品である内機部品と樹脂部品である弁本体とを結合させて、一体化した複合部品としての弁装置用の弁本体構造を得るために、内機部品と弁本体とを直接に一体化させるのではなく、樹脂同士の超音波溶着を利用することができる手法を案出する点で解決すべき課題がある。   Therefore, in the valve body structure for the valve device and the manufacture thereof, the valve body structure for the valve device as an integrated composite part is obtained by combining the internal part that is a metal part and the valve body that is a resin part. Therefore, there is a problem to be solved in terms of devising a technique that can utilize ultrasonic welding between resins, instead of directly integrating the internal parts and the valve body.

この発明の目的は、樹脂同士の超音波溶着を利用することで、簡単で且つ安価な工程で金属部品である内機部品と樹脂部品である弁本体とを一体化させることができる弁装置用の弁本体構造及びその製造方法を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is for a valve device that can integrate an internal machine component, which is a metal component, and a valve body, which is a resin component, with a simple and inexpensive process by utilizing ultrasonic welding between resins. It is providing the valve main body structure and its manufacturing method.

上記の課題を解決するため、この発明による弁装置用の弁本体構造の製造方法は、前記内機部品の前記弁本体との結合予定部位に予め樹脂層を形成し、前記樹脂層と前記弁本体とを超音波溶着によって結合することを特徴としている。   In order to solve the above-described problems, a method for manufacturing a valve body structure for a valve device according to the present invention includes forming a resin layer in advance at a site where the internal machine component is to be joined to the valve body, and the resin layer and the valve It is characterized in that the main body is joined by ultrasonic welding.

また、この発明による弁装置用の弁本体構造は、前記内機部品と前記弁本体とを、前記内機部品に形成されている樹脂層が前記弁本体に超音波溶着することで結合されていることを特徴としている。   In the valve body structure for a valve device according to the present invention, the inner machine part and the valve body are joined by ultrasonic welding of a resin layer formed on the inner machine part to the valve body. It is characterized by being.

この弁装置用の弁本体構造とその製造方法によれば、金属部品である内機部品にインサート成形等の手法によって予め樹脂層を成形しておく。そうして製作された樹脂層を持つ内機部品を樹脂部品である弁本体に対して、従来の樹脂と樹脂との結合方法である超音波溶着をそのまま利用して樹脂部品と樹脂層とを結合することにより、弁本体と内機部品とが結合される。   According to the valve main body structure for the valve device and the manufacturing method thereof, the resin layer is formed in advance on the inner machine part, which is a metal part, by a technique such as insert molding. The inner part with the resin layer thus manufactured is attached to the valve body, which is a resin part, using the ultrasonic welding, which is a conventional resin-to-resin bonding method, as it is. By coupling, the valve body and the internal parts are coupled.

この発明による弁装置用の弁本体構造及びその製造方法は、上記のように構成されているので、樹脂同士に対して施し得る従来の超音波溶着の技術をそのまま利用して、金属部品である内機部品に設けられた樹脂層と樹脂部品である弁本体とを溶着して一体化することができ、その結果、内機部品を弁本体に対して結合した弁装置用の弁本体構造を得ることができる。製造方法としては、そのような弁本体構造を樹脂同士の溶着という簡単な工程で且つ低コストで製造することができる。   Since the valve body structure for a valve device and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention are configured as described above, the conventional ultrasonic welding technique that can be applied to resins is used as it is, and is a metal part. It is possible to weld and integrate the resin layer provided on the internal machine parts and the valve body which is a resin part. As a result, the valve body structure for the valve device in which the internal machine parts are coupled to the valve body is obtained. Obtainable. As a manufacturing method, such a valve body structure can be manufactured at a low cost by a simple process of welding resins together.

以下、添付した図面に基づいて、この発明による弁装置用の弁本体構造及びその製造方法の実施例を説明する。図1は、本発明による弁本体構造が適用されている流量調整弁の一例を示す縦断面図である。   Hereinafter, embodiments of a valve body structure for a valve device and a manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view showing an example of a flow regulating valve to which a valve body structure according to the present invention is applied.

図1に示す流量調整弁1は、暖房機器等の温水の配管系統の途中に介在されて流量調整を行う温水弁であって、駆動軸8等を含む駆動機構を収容するホルダ部2bを備える弁本体2と、弁本体2に互いに略略直角をなすように備えられる配管接続部3,4と、弁本体2の上部のフランジ11を介して載置固定されたパルスモータ等の電動機14とを備えている。なお、流量調整弁1は、フランジ11においてリベット13等を用いることで上面視矩形状の取付け部12に対して固定される。   A flow rate adjustment valve 1 shown in FIG. 1 is a hot water valve that is interposed in the middle of a hot water piping system such as a heating device and performs flow rate adjustment, and includes a holder portion 2b that houses a drive mechanism including a drive shaft 8 and the like. The valve body 2, pipe connection parts 3, 4 provided so as to be substantially perpendicular to the valve body 2, and an electric motor 14 such as a pulse motor mounted and fixed via a flange 11 at the top of the valve body 2. I have. The flow rate adjusting valve 1 is fixed to the mounting portion 12 having a rectangular shape in a top view by using a rivet 13 or the like in the flange 11.

弁本体2の内部には、配管接続部3の入口側流路3aと配管接続部4の入口側流路4aとに連通するように弁室6が形成されている。流量調整弁1は更に、弁本体2内においてその上部開口部に摺動可能に支持されており電動機14によって駆動される弁棒15と、弁棒15の下端部に固定された弁体19と、弁本体2の配管接続部3側の開口部に固定されており環状の弁座5aを含む弁座部材5とを備えている。弁室6の上部は、Oリング16及びリング18によって閉鎖されている。リング18は樹脂製であって、超音波溶着によって弁本体2に固定されている。   Inside the valve body 2, a valve chamber 6 is formed so as to communicate with the inlet-side flow path 3 a of the pipe connection portion 3 and the inlet-side flow path 4 a of the pipe connection portion 4. The flow regulating valve 1 is further slidably supported in the upper opening of the valve body 2 and is driven by an electric motor 14. A valve body 19 is fixed to the lower end of the valve stem 15. And a valve seat member 5 including an annular valve seat 5a which is fixed to the opening of the valve main body 2 on the pipe connection portion 3 side. The upper portion of the valve chamber 6 is closed by an O-ring 16 and a ring 18. The ring 18 is made of resin and is fixed to the valve body 2 by ultrasonic welding.

弁棒15の中間部は、Oリング16及びリング18を介して弁本体2に摺動可能に軸支され、弁棒15の上端は拡径されて環状突起部15aを形成している。弁棒15の天井部には、凹状部15bが形成され、凹状部15b内には、剛球体20を介して駆動軸8の下端部が接触し、駆動軸8の上端部は、電動機14の回転軸9に係合している。また、駆動軸8には、雄ねじ部8aが螺設され、弁本体2の上部空間に固定された駆動軸案内部材10の雌ねじ部10aに螺合している。弁棒15の環状突起部15aと、弁本体2の上部空間の底面との間にはコイルばね17が圧縮状態に装着されており、弁棒15を常時上方に付勢している。   An intermediate portion of the valve stem 15 is slidably supported on the valve body 2 via an O-ring 16 and a ring 18, and the upper end of the valve stem 15 is expanded in diameter to form an annular protrusion 15a. A concave portion 15 b is formed in the ceiling portion of the valve stem 15, and the lower end portion of the drive shaft 8 is in contact with the concave portion 15 b through the rigid sphere 20, and the upper end portion of the drive shaft 8 is connected to the electric motor 14. The rotating shaft 9 is engaged. The drive shaft 8 is screwed with a male screw portion 8 a and is screwed into a female screw portion 10 a of the drive shaft guide member 10 fixed in the upper space of the valve body 2. A coil spring 17 is mounted in a compressed state between the annular protrusion 15a of the valve stem 15 and the bottom surface of the upper space of the valve body 2, and always biases the valve stem 15 upward.

弁棒15は、下部に弁体19を固定する軸端部15cを備え、弁体19は、ゴム材、フッ素樹脂等の合成樹脂又はSUS等の金属でリング状に形成されており、弁座5aに接触したときに弁を閉鎖可能な弁部材19aを有する。   The valve stem 15 is provided with a shaft end portion 15c for fixing the valve body 19 at a lower portion. The valve body 19 is formed in a ring shape with a rubber material, a synthetic resin such as a fluororesin, or a metal such as SUS. It has the valve member 19a which can close a valve when it contacts 5a.

次に、上記流量調整弁1の動作について説明する。暖房機器の供給源からの水又は温水等の流体は、入口側通路3aから供給され、環状の弁座5aと弁体19の弁部材19aとの間の間隙を通過した後、弁室6を介して出口側流路4aを通って暖房器等の機器に送出される。この時、パルスモータ等の電動機14をパルス信号等の回転制御信号に基づいて適宜回動させると、電動機14の回転軸が回転し、回転軸9と螺合している駆動軸8が回転する。駆動軸8は、その回転によって自身が上下方向に移動し、剛球体20を介して弁棒15を上下動させる。弁棒15は、前記回転制御信号の制御量に比例した量だけ上下方向に移動し、弁座15aと弁部材19aとの間の間隙幅を調整し、この間隙を流れる流体の流量を調整する。   Next, the operation of the flow rate adjusting valve 1 will be described. Water from the supply source of the heating equipment or fluid such as hot water is supplied from the inlet-side passage 3a, passes through the gap between the annular valve seat 5a and the valve member 19a of the valve body 19, and then passes through the valve chamber 6. Through the outlet side flow path 4a and sent to a device such as a heater. At this time, when the electric motor 14 such as a pulse motor is appropriately rotated based on a rotation control signal such as a pulse signal, the rotating shaft of the electric motor 14 rotates and the drive shaft 8 screwed with the rotating shaft 9 rotates. . The drive shaft 8 itself moves up and down due to its rotation, and moves the valve rod 15 up and down via the rigid sphere 20. The valve stem 15 moves up and down by an amount proportional to the control amount of the rotation control signal, adjusts the gap width between the valve seat 15a and the valve member 19a, and adjusts the flow rate of the fluid flowing through this gap. .

上記の流量制御弁1において、弁本体2とそれに対して固定される弁座部材5、及び弁本体2とそれに対して結合された駆動軸案内部材10とが、本発明による弁本体構造に該当する。弁座部材5及び駆動軸案内部材10が流量制御弁1における内機部品である。弁本体2とそれに結合された弁座部材5、或いは弁本体2とそれに結合された駆動軸案内部材10が、それぞれ金属部品と樹脂部品とを一体化した複合部品として構成されている。   In the flow control valve 1 described above, the valve body 2 and the valve seat member 5 fixed thereto, and the valve body 2 and the drive shaft guide member 10 coupled thereto correspond to the valve body structure according to the present invention. To do. The valve seat member 5 and the drive shaft guide member 10 are internal parts in the flow control valve 1. The valve body 2 and the valve seat member 5 coupled thereto, or the valve body 2 and the drive shaft guide member 10 coupled thereto are configured as composite parts in which metal parts and resin parts are integrated.

図2及び図3は、図1に示した流量制御弁1の金属部品である弁座部材5を樹脂製の弁本体2に結合させる製造方法の一実施形態を説明する図である。図3(a)は結合前の状態を示す要部の拡大断面図、図2(b)は結合後の状態を示す拡大断面図である。図2に示すように、弁座部材5は、弁本体2への組立前においては、環状の弁座を提供している金属製の環状の弁シート30の外側にインサート成形する等して樹脂層31を予め形成することで構成されている。樹脂層31は、弁本体2と同じ樹脂製とするのが好ましい。この実施形態では、弁本体2の配管接続部3には、外側に対して内径が拡大する二段の段部32,33が形成されており、これに対応して、弁座部材5も弁室6から遠い側の端部の外径が広げられた構造とされている。この二段の段部については、必須の構造ではなく、後述するように、図4に示すような一段の突き当たりを持つ段部に形成してもよい。   2 and 3 are views for explaining an embodiment of a manufacturing method in which a valve seat member 5 which is a metal part of the flow control valve 1 shown in FIG. 1 is coupled to a resin valve body 2. FIG. 3A is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part showing a state before joining, and FIG. 2B is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a state after joining. As shown in FIG. 2, before assembling the valve body 2, the valve seat member 5 is resin-molded by insert molding on the outside of a metal annular valve seat 30 providing an annular valve seat. The layer 31 is formed in advance. The resin layer 31 is preferably made of the same resin as the valve body 2. In this embodiment, the pipe connecting portion 3 of the valve body 2 is formed with two step portions 32 and 33 whose inner diameter is enlarged with respect to the outer side. Correspondingly, the valve seat member 5 is also a valve. The outer diameter of the end portion far from the chamber 6 is widened. The two-stepped portion is not an essential structure and may be formed in a stepped portion having a single-step end as shown in FIG. 4 as will be described later.

弁本体2や樹脂層31を構成する樹脂材としては、PPS(ポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂)や、SPS(シンジオタクチックポリスチレン樹脂)からなる部品とすることができる。また、弁シート30を構成する金属部品としては、ステンレスや、真鍮にメッキを施したものとすることができる。金属部品に施される樹脂層としては、そうした金属に上記のPPSやSPS樹脂をコーティングしたものとすることができる。   The resin material constituting the valve body 2 and the resin layer 31 can be a component made of PPS (polyphenylene sulfide resin) or SPS (syndiotactic polystyrene resin). Moreover, as a metal component which comprises the valve seat 30, it can be made by plating stainless steel or brass. As the resin layer applied to the metal part, such a metal can be coated with the above PPS or SPS resin.

図3に示すように、樹脂層31を被覆した弁シート30の外側形状については、段差構造による小径部分5bにおける樹脂層31の円筒面状の側面31bの径が、弁本体2における段部32よりも奥側の弁室6に連なる円筒面状の内周面32bの径に等しく設定されている。また、当該段差構造による大径部分5cにおける樹脂層31の円筒面状の側面31cの径が、弁本体2における段部32と段差33との間に形成されている円筒面状の内周面32cの径に等しく設定されている。したがって、当該側面31b,31cは、内周面32b,32cと協働して弁本体2に対する弁シート30のガイド面となっている。弁座部材5を配管接続部3の下に向いた開口端側から挿入して弁本体2に押し込む際には、弁座部材5は押し込み方向に距離を置いた2つの領域における当該ガイド面によってガイドされる。このガイドは、後の超音波溶着の前後においても確保され、弁座部材5の弁本体2に対する径方向の振れが極めて少なくなり、位置決めを正確に行うことができる。   As shown in FIG. 3, regarding the outer shape of the valve seat 30 covered with the resin layer 31, the diameter of the cylindrical surface side surface 31 b of the resin layer 31 in the small diameter portion 5 b due to the step structure is the step portion 32 in the valve body 2. Further, it is set to be equal to the diameter of the cylindrical inner peripheral surface 32 b continuous with the valve chamber 6 on the far side. In addition, the diameter of the cylindrical side surface 31c of the resin layer 31 in the large-diameter portion 5c by the step structure is a cylindrical inner peripheral surface formed between the step portion 32 and the step 33 in the valve body 2. It is set equal to the diameter of 32c. Therefore, the side surfaces 31b and 31c serve as guide surfaces of the valve seat 30 with respect to the valve body 2 in cooperation with the inner peripheral surfaces 32b and 32c. When the valve seat member 5 is inserted into the valve main body 2 from the opening end side facing the pipe connection portion 3 and pushed into the valve body 2, the valve seat member 5 is moved by the guide surfaces in the two regions spaced in the pushing direction. Guided. This guide is ensured before and after the subsequent ultrasonic welding, and the radial deflection of the valve seat member 5 with respect to the valve body 2 is extremely reduced, and positioning can be performed accurately.

弁本体2の段部32においては、内周面32bと直角に交差して径方向に環状に広がる段差面32aと、段差面32aから内周面32cに接続するテーパ面32dとが形成されている。一方、弁座部材5において、樹脂層31は小径部分5bと大径部分5cとに対して直角に交差した端面31aとなっており、テーパ面32dに対応して予め後退した部分は形成されていない。したがって、弁座部材5を弁本体2に対して押し込んで所定の結合位置に置いたとしたときには、樹脂層31の角部と段部32の角部とにおいて、重なり部分31e,32eが生じる。   In the step portion 32 of the valve body 2, a step surface 32a that intersects the inner peripheral surface 32b at a right angle and expands in an annular shape in the radial direction and a tapered surface 32d that connects the step surface 32a to the inner peripheral surface 32c are formed. Yes. On the other hand, in the valve seat member 5, the resin layer 31 is an end surface 31a that intersects the small diameter portion 5b and the large diameter portion 5c at a right angle, and a portion that is previously retracted corresponding to the tapered surface 32d is formed. Absent. Therefore, when the valve seat member 5 is pushed into the valve main body 2 and placed at a predetermined coupling position, overlapping portions 31e and 32e are generated at the corner portions of the resin layer 31 and the step portion 32.

弁座部材5を配管接続部3の開口側から挿入し、ガイド面である側面31b,31cを弁本体2の内周面32b,32cに案内させながら押し込むと、樹脂層31の角部である重なり部分31aで段部32のテーパ面部分32dに突き当たる。超音波ホーンを弁座部材5に(図に示す状態では下方から)当てて、その状態で超音波ホーンで発生された超音波振動を弁シート30に与えながら、弁座部材5を更に弁本体2内に押し込む。このとき、樹脂層31と弁本体2との重なり部分31e,32eが摩擦熱によって溶融し溶け合う。余剰の溶融樹脂は、弁座部材5と弁本体2との間に僅かに形成される隙間に流れる。弁座部材5の配管接続部3内への押し込みは、弁座部材5の端面31aが弁本体2の段差面32aでの突き当たりによって限界され、その押し込み位置が弁座部材5の配管接続部3内での結合位置とされ、弁座部材5と弁本体2とは樹脂の冷却時に一体化される。このように、側面31b,31cと内周面32b,32cとによるガイドと、端面31aと段差面32aとの突き当たりによって、弁座部材5は弁本体2に対して径方向にも押込み方向にも高い精度で位置決めがなされる。   When the valve seat member 5 is inserted from the opening side of the pipe connecting portion 3 and the side surfaces 31b and 31c, which are guide surfaces, are pushed into the inner peripheral surfaces 32b and 32c of the valve body 2 while being pushed in, the corner portions of the resin layer 31 are formed. It abuts against the tapered surface portion 32d of the stepped portion 32 at the overlapping portion 31a. An ultrasonic horn is applied to the valve seat member 5 (from below in the state shown in the figure), and the ultrasonic vibration generated by the ultrasonic horn in that state is applied to the valve seat 30, while the valve seat member 5 is further moved to the valve body. Push into 2. At this time, overlapping portions 31e and 32e between the resin layer 31 and the valve body 2 are melted and melted by frictional heat. Excess molten resin flows in a gap formed slightly between the valve seat member 5 and the valve body 2. The pushing of the valve seat member 5 into the pipe connecting portion 3 is limited by the contact of the end surface 31a of the valve seat member 5 with the stepped surface 32a of the valve body 2, and the pushing position is the pipe connecting portion 3 of the valve seat member 5. The valve seat member 5 and the valve body 2 are integrated when the resin is cooled. As described above, the valve seat member 5 moves in the radial direction and the pushing direction with respect to the valve body 2 by the guide by the side surfaces 31b and 31c and the inner peripheral surfaces 32b and 32c and the contact between the end surface 31a and the step surface 32a. Positioning is performed with high accuracy.

図4には、図2の弁座部分と同様の部分についてのものであるが本発明による弁本体構造の別の実施形態が示されている。即ち、図2及び図3に示す実施形態では配管接続部3に二段の段部32,33が形成されていたが、図4に示す実施形態では、弁本体2には一段の段部36が形成されており、それに対応して弁座部材35もストレートな筒状形状に形成されている。弁本体2の内周面の径を弁座部材35の樹脂層37の外径と同じにすることで、弁座部材35は弁本体2(配管接続部3)内への押し込みの際にガイドされる。また、結合を得る構造については、図3に示す構造と同様であるので詳細は省略するが、弁本体2側の段部36の角部と弁座部材35の角部とに突き当たりの際に重なる部分が設けられており、弁本体2と弁座部材35とをその重なり部分における溶着で結合させることができる。   FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the valve body structure according to the present invention, which is similar to the valve seat portion of FIG. That is, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the two-stage steps 32 and 33 are formed in the pipe connection portion 3, but in the embodiment shown in FIG. Correspondingly, the valve seat member 35 is also formed in a straight cylindrical shape. By making the diameter of the inner peripheral surface of the valve body 2 the same as the outer diameter of the resin layer 37 of the valve seat member 35, the valve seat member 35 is guided when being pushed into the valve body 2 (pipe connection portion 3). Is done. The structure for obtaining the coupling is the same as the structure shown in FIG. 3 and will not be described in detail. However, when contacting the corner of the stepped portion 36 and the corner of the valve seat member 35 on the valve body 2 side, An overlapping portion is provided, and the valve body 2 and the valve seat member 35 can be joined by welding at the overlapping portion.

図5及び図6は、図1に示した流量制御弁1の金属部品である駆動軸案内部材10を樹脂製の弁本体2に結合させる製造方法の別の実施形態を説明する図である。図6(a)は結合前の状態を示す要部の拡大断面図、図6(b)は結合後の状態を示す拡大断面図である。図5に示すように、駆動軸案内部材10は、弁本体2への組立前においては、金属製の雌ねじ体40に、その外周側にインサート成形する等して樹脂層41を予め形成して構成されている。樹脂層41は、弁本体2と同じ樹脂製とするのが好ましい。弁本体2のホルダ部2bには、外側に対して内径が拡大する段部42,43が形成されている。結合に際して利用されるのは段部42である。駆動軸案内部材10を弁本体2に結合の後、雌ねじ体40に雄ねじ部8aを有する駆動軸8が螺合される。   5 and 6 are diagrams illustrating another embodiment of a manufacturing method in which the drive shaft guide member 10 that is a metal part of the flow control valve 1 shown in FIG. 1 is coupled to the resin valve body 2. FIG. 6A is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a main part showing a state before joining, and FIG. 6B is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a state after joining. As shown in FIG. 5, the drive shaft guide member 10 has a resin layer 41 formed in advance on an outer peripheral side of a metal female screw body 40 before assembly to the valve body 2. It is configured. The resin layer 41 is preferably made of the same resin as the valve body 2. The holder part 2b of the valve body 2 is formed with stepped parts 42 and 43 whose inner diameter is enlarged with respect to the outside. It is the step 42 that is used for the coupling. After coupling the drive shaft guide member 10 to the valve body 2, the drive shaft 8 having the male screw portion 8 a is screwed to the female screw body 40.

樹脂層41が施された雌ねじ体40の外径寸法は、弁体2の段部42,43間の内周面42bの径と同じ大きさに形成されているので、雌ねじ体40の側面41bは、当該内周面42bと同様に、雌ねじ体40を弁本体2に押し込むときのガイド面となっている。弁本体2の段部42における角部には段差面42aとテーパ面42dが形成されている。一方、雌ねじ体40の樹脂層41はストレートな形状であって、テーパ面42dに対応した予めの逃げが形成されてはいない。そのため、駆動軸案内部材10をホルダ2bの上に向いた開口端側から挿入するとき、樹脂層41の角部が段部42の角部に突き当たる。   Since the outer diameter dimension of the female screw body 40 provided with the resin layer 41 is formed to be the same as the diameter of the inner peripheral surface 42b between the step portions 42 and 43 of the valve body 2, the side face 41b of the female screw body 40 is formed. Is a guide surface when the female screw body 40 is pushed into the valve body 2 in the same manner as the inner peripheral surface 42b. A stepped surface 42 a and a tapered surface 42 d are formed at the corners of the stepped portion 42 of the valve body 2. On the other hand, the resin layer 41 of the female screw body 40 has a straight shape and is not formed with a preliminary relief corresponding to the tapered surface 42d. Therefore, when the drive shaft guide member 10 is inserted from the opening end side facing the holder 2 b, the corner of the resin layer 41 abuts against the corner of the step 42.

また、結合を得る手順については、図3又は図4に示す構造と同様である。即ち、弁本体2側の段42の角部と駆動軸案内部材10の角部とに突き当たりの際に重なることになる重なり部分41e,42eが設けられている。超音波ホーンを金属製の雌ねじ体40に当てて(図に示す状態では上方から)、超音波ホーンで発生された超音波振動を雌ねじ体40に与えながら、駆動軸案内部材10を弁本体2のホルダ2b内に押し込むと、樹脂層41と弁本体2との寸法上重なる重なり部分41e,42eの樹脂が摩擦熱によって溶融し溶け合う。駆動軸案内部材10の弁本体2への押し込みは、端面41aと段差面42aとが突き当たるまで押し込むことによって限界付けられ、その押し込み位置が駆動軸案内部材10のホルダ2b内での固定位置とされる。溶融樹脂が冷却によって固化するとき、駆動軸案内部材10は重なり部分41e,42eにおける溶着で弁本体2に対して結合される。   The procedure for obtaining the bond is the same as the structure shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. That is, there are provided overlapping portions 41e, 42e that overlap each other at the corner of the step 42 on the valve body 2 side and the corner of the drive shaft guide member 10. An ultrasonic horn is applied to the female female screw body 40 (from above in the state shown in the figure), and the ultrasonic shaft generated by the ultrasonic horn is applied to the female screw body 40 while the drive shaft guide member 10 is moved to the valve body 2. When the resin is pushed into the holder 2b, the resin in the overlapping portions 41e and 42e that overlap in dimension between the resin layer 41 and the valve body 2 is melted and melted by frictional heat. The pushing of the drive shaft guide member 10 into the valve body 2 is limited by pushing until the end surface 41a and the stepped surface 42a come into contact with each other, and the push position is set as a fixed position in the holder 2b of the drive shaft guide member 10. The When the molten resin is solidified by cooling, the drive shaft guide member 10 is coupled to the valve body 2 by welding at the overlapping portions 41e and 42e.

このように、側面41bと内周面42bとによるガイドと、端面41aと段差面42aとの突き当たりによって、駆動軸案内部材10は弁本体2に対して径方向にも押込み方向にも高い精度で位置決めがなされる。また、金属製の駆動軸案内部材に予め樹脂層を形成しておき、その樹脂層と樹脂製の弁本体とを樹脂の溶融固化による超音波溶着で結合するので、簡単で且つ安価な工程で弁装置用の弁本体構造を得ることができる。   As described above, the drive shaft guide member 10 is highly accurate in both the radial direction and the pushing direction with respect to the valve body 2 by the guide by the side surface 41b and the inner peripheral surface 42b and the contact of the end surface 41a and the stepped surface 42a. Positioning is done. In addition, a resin layer is formed in advance on the metal drive shaft guide member, and the resin layer and the valve body made of resin are joined by ultrasonic welding by melting and solidifying the resin, so that the process is simple and inexpensive. A valve body structure for a valve device can be obtained.
