2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a booster having the following structure is known. That is, a cylindrical valve body slidably provided in the shell, a power piston provided in this valve body, a constant pressure chamber and a variable pressure chamber defined in front of and behind the power piston, and provided in the valve body. A valve mechanism for switching the communication state between the constant pressure chamber, the variable pressure chamber and the atmosphere, a constant pressure passage provided in the valve body for communicating the constant pressure chamber and the valve mechanism,
A variable pressure passage provided in the valve body for communicating the variable pressure chamber with the valve mechanism, and an atmosphere passage provided in the valve body for communicating the valve mechanism with the atmosphere are provided. An annular first valve seat formed on a peripheral portion, an annular second valve seat provided on a valve plunger slidably fitted to a valve body, a valve body contacting with and separating from both valve seats, and the valve 2. Description of the Related Art A booster composed of a plunger and a spring for connecting an input shaft connected to the plunger to a non-actuated position is known. In such a conventional general booster, the second valve seat is positioned inside the first valve seat, and
The rear side end of the constant pressure passage is located outside the valve seat, and the rear end of the variable pressure passage is located inside the first valve seat. Therefore, in such a conventional device, the atmospheric valve constituted by the second valve seat and the seat portion of the valve body which is brought into contact with and separated from it is constituted by the first valve seat and the seat portion of the valve body which is brought into contact with and separated from the first valve seat. It was located inward of the vacuum valve.
When the booster is not operating, the vacuum valve is opened and the atmospheric valve is closed, so that a negative pressure acts on the front side of the valve body and a rear side of the valve body. Is affected by atmospheric pressure. Therefore, the valve element is biased toward the front side by the differential pressure between the negative pressure before and after the valve element and the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, conventionally, in order to cancel the biasing force due to the differential pressure and stop the input shaft and the valve plunger at the non-operating position, the spring is elastically mounted over the valve body and the input shaft.

By the way, in such a conventional booster, it is sometimes desired to expand the diameter of the atmospheric valve in order to improve the response during operation. However, expanding the diameter of the atmospheric valve increases the differential pressure acting on the valve element when the booster is not operating,
Accordingly, it is necessary to increase the set load of the spring described above. When the set load of the spring is increased as described above, there is a drawback that the input (pedal force) of the input shaft when operating the booster increases.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In view of such circumstances,
According to the present invention, in the above-described booster, the rear side end of the constant pressure passage is located inside the first valve seat, and the rear of the variable pressure passage is outside the first valve seat. Position the end on the side, expand the diameter of a part of the valve plunger,
The outer peripheral portion of the enlarged diameter portion is slidably fitted to the inner peripheral portion of the valve body forming the atmosphere passage while keeping airtightness, and the enlarged diameter portion of the valve plunger communicates with the atmosphere passage in the axial direction. Through hole is formed, and the second valve seat is formed in the enlarged diameter portion of the valve plunger that is on the front side of the through hole, and the second valve seat is located outside the first valve seat. Further, the annular valve element is slidably fitted to the outer peripheral portion of the valve plunger closer to the front side than the enlarged diameter portion of the valve plunger so as to be slidable, and opposed to the valve seats from the rear side. It was made.

According to this structure, the atmospheric valve composed of the second valve seat and the seat portion of the valve body that comes into contact with and separates from the second valve seat is
It will be located on the outer side of the vacuum valve constituted by the first valve seat and the seat portion of the valve body that comes in contact with and separates from the first valve seat. In other words, the arrangement of the atmosphere valve and the atmosphere valve in the related art is reversed from the inside to the outside. Then, when the brake pedal is depressed from the non-operation state of the booster in which the vacuum valve is opened and the atmospheric valve is closed, the input shaft and the valve plunger are advanced, and the valve body is first seated on the first valve seat. Vacuum valve is closed while the second
The valve seat separates from the valve body and the atmospheric valve is opened. Therefore, the communication between the variable pressure chamber and the constant pressure chamber is blocked, the atmosphere is introduced into the variable pressure chamber, and the booster is operated similarly to the conventionally known one. At that time, as described above, since the atmosphere valve is located on the outer side of the vacuum valve, the flow passage area is larger than that of the conventional atmosphere valve. It is installed in the transformer room. Therefore, the responsiveness of the booster during operation can be improved.

Further, it is projected to the rear side further than that, and an annular projection 27a is formed at a predetermined position of the projected outer peripheral portion on the rear side. And this annular protrusion 27a
The inner peripheral portion of the valve body 23 is slidably fitted to the outer peripheral portion on the front side of the valve body while maintaining airtightness. In addition, the annular protrusion 27
The shaft portion of the second member 28 is fitted to the outer peripheral portion on the rear side of a and is brought into contact with the annular protrusion 27a from the rear side. In this state, the ring-shaped retainer 31 is further attached from the rear side. The second member 28 is fixed to the position of the annular protrusion 27a by being fitted on the outer peripheral portion of 27. The outer diameter of the second member 28 is set to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral portion of the valve body 2 forming the atmosphere passage 8. A ring-shaped sealing member 32 is attached to the outer peripheral edge of the rear side end surface of the second member 28 so as to be in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the valve body 2, whereby the outer peripheral edge of the second member 28 and the valve. Airtightness is maintained between the inner peripheral surface of the body 2. A plurality of through holes 28a are formed in the end surface of the second member 28, and the atmosphere in the atmosphere passage 8 flows into the position of the atmosphere valve 26 located on the front side of the end surface through the through holes 28a. I am able to do it. The outer peripheral edge of the end surface of the second member 28 is formed into a cylindrical shape by extending a predetermined amount toward the front side, and the tip end portion of this cylindrical portion is extended in the radial direction to form an annular portion. The inner peripheral edge of the annular portion on the rear side is attached to the second valve seat 22.
And The second valve seat 22 is located outward of the first valve seat 21 in the radial direction, and is located at the rear position of both valve seats 21 and 22 so as to face the valve seats 21 and 22. 23 is located. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the atmospheric valve 26 is located on the outer side of the vacuum valve 25, contrary to the arrangement in the conventional general valve mechanism. Further, as the valve mechanism 23 is configured as described above, the rear end portion 7a of the variable pressure passage 7 is formed outside the tubular portion 2c (first valve seat 21) of the valve body 2. It is formed by the space part. Further, the spring 24 set to a predetermined set load is elastically mounted over the stepped end surface 2b of the valve body 2 and the annular portion of the second member 28 facing the stepped end surface 2b, whereby the valve plunger 12 and the input shaft are provided. 13 is biased to the rear side and stopped at the inoperative position in the drawing. In the above configuration, in the non-actuated state of the brake booster shown in FIG. 1, the second valve seat 22 biased by the spring 24 causes the valve body 23 to move.
The atmosphere valve 26 is closed by sitting on the valve body 2
3 is separated from the first valve seat 21, and the vacuum valve 25 is opened. Therefore, the constant pressure chamber A and the variable pressure chamber B communicate with each other through the constant pressure passage 6 and the variable pressure passage 7, and a negative pressure is introduced into them. Next, when a brake pedal (not shown) is depressed from the above-mentioned non-operating state, the input shaft 32 connected to the brake pedal is advanced against the spring 24. As a result, first, the second valve seat 22 and the valve body 23 are integrally advanced while being in contact with each other, and accordingly, the valve body 23 is seated on the first valve seat 21 and the vacuum valve 25 is closed. At the same time, the movement of the valve body 23 with respect to the valve body 2 is stopped. Next, as the valve plunger 12 is moved forward with respect to the valve body 23, the second valve seat 22 is separated from the valve body 23 and the atmospheric valve 26 is opened. As a result, the communication between the constant pressure chamber A and the variable pressure chamber B is cut off, while the atmosphere flowing into the rear side of the atmospheric valve 26 is introduced into the variable pressure chamber B via the atmospheric valve 26 and the variable pressure passage 7. . Therefore, as is well known in the art, the valve body 2 is moved forward by the differential pressure generated between the constant pressure chamber A and the variable pressure chamber B to operate the brake booster. Although the brake booster is operated in this manner, since the atmosphere valve 26 is arranged on the outer side of the vacuum valve 25 in this embodiment, they are compared with the conventional case in which they are arranged inside and outside. Thus, the diameter of the atmosphere valve 26 can be increased. That is, the flow passage area when the atmosphere valve 26 is opened can be increased. Further, since the rear end portion 7a of the variable pressure passage 7 is substantially positioned on the front side adjacent to the atmospheric valve 26, the atmosphere passing through the atmospheric valve 26 is quickly moved toward the rear end portion 7a of the variable pressure passage 7. Will be introduced to. Therefore, when the brake booster operates, the atmospheric valve 2
The introduction speed of the atmosphere introduced into the variable pressure chamber B after passing through 6 becomes faster, and thereby the responsiveness at the time of operation of the brake booster can be made good. Further, since the spring 24 of the present embodiment has a cylindrical shape as a whole, as described above, the atmosphere passing through the atmospheric valve 26 and flowing into the variable pressure passage 7 is mainly in the space on the inner side of the spring 24. Since the air flows, it is possible to reduce noise when the atmosphere passes through the position of the spring 24. Further, in the present embodiment, the outer diameter of the spring 24 can be made larger than that of the conventional one, so that
It is possible to reduce the stress of the spring 24, so that an inexpensive wire rod can be used in manufacturing the spring 24. For this embodiment like this,
In the conventional general valve mechanism in which the atmosphere valve 26 and the vacuum valve 25 are arranged inside and outside, if the diameter of the atmosphere valve on the inner side is expanded for the purpose of improving the responsiveness during operation, the poppet type in the non-operation state The differential pressure that urges the valve element toward the front side increases, and accordingly, it becomes necessary to increase the set load of the spring that urges the valve plunger (input shaft) to the non-operating position. Then, when the set load of the spring is increased in this way, there is a drawback that the input of the input shaft at the start of operation becomes large. (Second Embodiment) Next, FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this second embodiment, projections are provided at a plurality of positions in the circumferential direction on the rear end face of the valve body 23. The elastic portion 23a is formed. When the negative pressure is not supplied to the constant pressure chamber A, the valve body 23 may move in the axial direction at the outer peripheral portion of the second member 27, so that the elastic portion 23a contacts the end surface of the second member 28. By touching,
The valve element 23 is positioned on the outer peripheral portion of the second member 27. A spring having a small set load may be mounted between the valve body 23 and the end surface of the second member 28 instead of the elastic portion 23a. In addition, although the above-described embodiments have described the case where the present invention is applied to a single type brake booster, the present invention can be applied to a tandem type or triple type brake booster, and a clutch booster is also provided. It can also be applied to a device.
