As shown in FIG. 6, this temperature-responsive valve has a valve body 4 which opens and closes a valve port 3 of a valve seat member 2 supported in a main body 1 so as to be movable up and down via a support wall 5. A bias spring 7 for biasing the valve body 4 in the opening direction is installed between the flange 6 fixed to the upper end of the shaft 4a and the upper surface of the support wall 5, and the lower surface of the support wall 5 and the valve body 4 are connected to each other. A compression coil shaped shape memory alloy spring 8 is installed between the heads 4b to extend and bias the valve body 4 in the closing direction.When the inside of the main body 1 is maintained at a high temperature by the passing fluid, As shown in Figure A, the shape memory alloy spring 8 overcomes the spring pressure of the bias spring 7 and expands, lowering the valve body 4-, closing the valve port 3 with the valve head 4b, and conversely inside the main body 1. When the temperature becomes low, the shape memory alloy spring 8 contracts as shown in FIG. .

"Problems to be Solved by the Invention" However, in such a structure, the temperature inside the main body 1, which is maintained at a high temperature by the passing fluid, is not always constant, and due to the influence of internal pressure etc. At this temperature, the temperature tends to be high, for example, 100° C. or more, which promotes the elongation of the shape memory alloy spring more than necessary.

For this reason, in the above-mentioned conventional temperature-responsive valve, when the shape memory alloy spring 8 is expanded and the valve head 4b closes the valve port 3 as shown in FIG. When exposed to a high temperature atmosphere, the shape memory alloy spring 8 is structurally restrained during expansion between the support wall 5 and the valve head 4b, so as a characteristic of the shape memory alloy, it attempts to further expand in accordance with the temperature. However, it cannot be expanded and is subject to restraint heating.

Therefore, when such a restrained heating state continues, the capacity of the inner body of the shape memory alloy spring 8 is attenuated, causing sagging. This naturally means a reduction in the expansion and contraction ability of the shape memory alloy spring 8, which causes a reduction in the opening and closing ability of the valve port 3 even if it is acted upon by the bias spring 7.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' Therefore, the present invention provides that when the shape memory alloy spring is exposed to a high temperature atmosphere of 100° C. or higher for a long time, the elongation ability of the shape memory alloy spring can be enhanced. This was developed with a focus on the ability to effectively prevent the occurrence of fatigue, and in order to release the shape memory alloy spring's ability to expand from its restricted state in a high-temperature atmosphere, a movable ring is moved up and down on the valve stem of the valve body. A coil spring made of a shape memory alloy is installed between the lower surface of the movable ring and the valve seat member that forms the valve opening, and a damper spring is installed between the upper surface of the movable ring and the fixed flange at the upper end of the valve shaft. In addition, a configuration was adopted in which a lowering stopper was formed on the valve stem located below the movable ring, and the movable ring was allowed to move up and down only above the stopper.

11□1 Accordingly, in the present invention, the extension force of the shape memory alloy spring in a high temperature atmosphere is reduced by the presence of the damper spring installed between the movable ring whose vertical movement is regulated by the lowering stopper and the fixed collar. 6 "Example" The present invention will be described in detail below based on an illustrative example.
In the temperature-responsive valve according to the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. A spring 8 made of a shape memory alloy is installed between the valve seat members 2 that form a
By attaching a coiled damper spring 11 that can efficiently absorb the stretching force of the shape memory alloy spring 8 between them, and interposing the movable ring 1o that can move up and down the shape memory alloy spring 8, the damper spring 11 is combined. The structure is such that the shape memory alloy spring 8 can be released from the restrained and expanded state at high temperatures.

Further, a lowering stopper 12 for the movable ring 10 is formed on the valve shaft 4a located below the movable ring 10, and the movable ring 10 is allowed to move up and down only above the stopper 12.

Therefore, even if the shape memory base metal spring 8 contracts, the stopper 12 prevents the moving ring 10 from lowering, so the shape memory alloy spring 8 will never receive the spring pressure of the damper spring 11. The lowering stopper 12 may be formed by fixing a separate member to the valve shaft 4a, or may be formed by fixing a separate member to the valve shaft 4a.
A step is formed directly on a, and the step is used as a stopper.

Therefore, even in a temperature-responsive valve having such a configuration, when the temperature inside the main body 1 decreases, the shape memory alloy spring 8 contracts as shown in FIG. 3 opens automatically, and conversely, when the inside of the main body 1 becomes high temperature due to the passing fluid, the shape memory alloy spring 8 expands and lifts the valve body 4, as shown in Figure B, so that the valve head 4b This ensures that the valve port 3 is closed.

In addition, in the open state shown in FIG.
The damper spring 11 contracts only by its own characteristics without receiving any spring pressure from the damper spring 11, and in the normal closed state shown in FIG. Because I'm overcoming it.

However, when the main body 1 is placed in a high-temperature atmosphere of 100° C. or higher due to the internal pressure etc. in the above-mentioned normal closed state, the shape memory alloy spring 8 is moved by the damper spring 11 as shown in FIG. Its own elongation force is effectively absorbed, making it possible to elongate further. That is, the damper spring 11 receives the expansion force of the shape memory alloy spring 8 via the moving ring 10.

Since the shape memory alloy spring 8 contracts by the amount of elongation α, and the length dimension under the high temperature atmosphere becomes H−α, the shape memory alloy spring 8 can be expanded.

As a result, even if the shape memory alloy spring 8 is used for a long time in a high-temperature atmosphere, the shape memory alloy spring 8 will not be heated while being restrained as in the conventional case, and there will be no fear of damage.

To explain this point based on the results of an experiment comparing a conventional temperature-responsive valve that does not have the damper spring 11 and the temperature-responsive valve of the first embodiment, it is assumed that the valve closing force, that is, the valve opening 3 caused by the valve body 4
Assuming that the closing force is 2 kg, in a conventional response valve without a damper spring, the valve closing force increases rapidly as the temperature increases, as shown by line A in Figure 3.
It has been found that in the response valve having the damper spring 11, the valve closing force is kept substantially constant even if the temperature rises from around <100° C. as shown by line B in the figure. This means that the damper spring 11 absorbs the fatigue phenomenon of the shape memory alloy spring 8.

Therefore, in the temperature-responsive valve according to the second embodiment, when the temperature inside the main body 1 decreases, the shape memory alloy spring 8 contracts as shown in FIG. 5A, and the spring pressure of the bias spring 7 decreases. is overcome, so the valve body 4 descends and automatically opens the valve port 3. Conversely, when the inside of the main body 1 becomes high in temperature due to the passing fluid, the shape memory alloy spring 8 expands as shown in Figure B. Since the spring pressure of the bias spring 7 is overcome, the valve body 4 rises and the valve head 4
The valve port 3 is reliably closed at step b.

In addition, in the valve open state shown in FIG.
In the closed state shown in FIG. 5B, the spring pressure of the damper spring 11 is equal to the pressure of the shape memory alloy spring 8. Since the stretching force is overcome, the mounting length H is maintained and only the bias spring 7 contracts.

In addition, when the inside of the main body 1 is exposed to a high temperature atmosphere of 100° C. or higher due to the internal pressure, etc., the shape memory alloy spring 8 effectively absorbs its own elongation force by the damper spring 11, as shown in FIG. The second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment in that the shape memory alloy spring 8 can be further stretched by using a bias spring 7 to apply an elongation promoting force to the shape memory alloy spring 8. This embodiment is configured to open and close the valve more reliably than in one embodiment.
