Description

流量制御弁およびその組立方法Flow control valve and assembling method thereof
 本発明は、例えば、冷凍サイクル等に組み込まれて冷媒等の流体の流量制御に用いられる流量制御弁およびその組立方法に関する。 The present invention relates to, for example, a flow rate control valve that is incorporated in a refrigeration cycle or the like and used for flow rate control of a fluid such as a refrigerant, and an assembly method thereof.
 特許文献1に従来の圧力バランス型の流量制御弁が開示されている。特許文献1の流量制御弁は、弁ハウジング内に設けられた円筒形状のガイド部と、このガイド部内に摺動可能に設けられた弁体とを有している。弁体は、アクチュエータによってガイド部の軸方向(すなわち移動方向)に移動されることにより弁口を開閉する。また、弁体は、弁口と背圧室とを接続する均圧路が設けられており、弁口の流体圧力と背圧室の流体圧力との圧力バランスをとるようにしている。これにより、弁体に対して弁口側から加わる流体圧力と背圧室側から加わる流体圧力との差(差圧力)が小さくなるようにしている。 Patent Document 1 discloses a conventional pressure balance type flow control valve. The flow control valve of Patent Document 1 has a cylindrical guide portion provided in the valve housing, and a valve body slidably provided in the guide portion. The valve body opens and closes the valve port by being moved in the axial direction (that is, the moving direction) of the guide portion by the actuator. Further, the valve body is provided with a pressure equalizing passage that connects the valve port and the back pressure chamber, so that the fluid pressure of the valve port and the fluid pressure of the back pressure chamber are balanced. As a result, the difference (differential pressure) between the fluid pressure applied to the valve body from the valve opening side and the fluid pressure applied from the back pressure chamber side is reduced.

 しかしながら、特許文献1の流量制御弁では、弁体を貫通する縦孔を均圧路として設けているので、弁体の先端を尖った形状とすることができない。そのため、弁体の形状が制約される。これにより、例えば、イコールパーセントとなる流量特性を実現することが困難となり、流量特性も制約されてしまう。 However, in the flow control valve of Patent Document 1, since the vertical hole penetrating the valve body is provided as a pressure equalizing passage, the tip of the valve body cannot be formed into a sharp shape. Therefore, the shape of the valve body is restricted. As a result, for example, it becomes difficult to realize a flow rate characteristic of equal percent, and the flow rate characteristic is also limited.
 そこで、本発明は、弁体の形状が制約されることなく弁体に対して移動方向に加わる差圧力を効果的に小さくできる流量制御弁およびその組立方法を提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a flow rate control valve that can effectively reduce the differential pressure applied to the valve body in the moving direction without restricting the shape of the valve body, and an assembling method thereof.
 上記目的を達成するために、本発明の一態様に係る流量制御弁は、弁室および前記弁室に開口する弁口が設けられた基体部材と、前記基体部材の外側に配置された外筒部材と、前記弁口に対向して配置され、前記弁口を開閉する弁体と、前記弁体が先端部に設けられた駆動軸と、前記駆動軸を前記弁口と前記弁体との対向方向に移動可能に支持する支持部材と、を有し、前記外筒部材の一端が前記基体部材により塞がれ、かつ、前記外筒部材の他端が前記支持部材により塞がれており、前記弁室と区画された背圧室が形成され、前記弁体または前記駆動軸が前記弁室と前記背圧室とをまたいで配置され、前記基体部材は、前記弁口に連なる流路および当該流路と前記背圧室とを接続する均圧孔が設けられていることを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, a flow rate control valve according to an aspect of the present invention includes a base member provided with a valve chamber and a valve opening that opens to the valve chamber, and an outer cylinder arranged outside the base member. A member, a valve body that is arranged so as to face the valve opening and that opens and closes the valve opening, a drive shaft that has the valve body provided at its tip, and a drive shaft that includes the valve opening and the valve body. A support member movably supported in the opposite direction, one end of the outer cylinder member is closed by the base member, and the other end of the outer cylinder member is closed by the support member. A back pressure chamber that is partitioned from the valve chamber is formed, the valve body or the drive shaft is arranged so as to straddle the valve chamber and the back pressure chamber, and the base member is a flow path that connects to the valve port. And a pressure equalizing hole that connects the flow path and the back pressure chamber.
 本発明によれば、外筒部材の一端が基体部材により塞がれ、かつ、外筒部材の他端が支持部材により塞がれており、弁室と区画された背圧室が形成されている。弁体または駆動軸が弁室と背圧室とをまたいで配置されている。そして、基体部材は、弁口に連なる流路および当該流路と背圧室とを接続する均圧孔が設けられている。このようにしたことから、基体部材に設けられた均圧孔によって、弁体によって弁口が閉じられた閉弁状態において、弁体に対して弁口側から加わる流体圧力と背圧室側から加わる流体圧力との差を小さくすることができる。そのため、弁体の形状が制約されることなく弁体に対して移動方向に加わる差圧力を効果的に小さくできる。 According to the present invention, one end of the outer cylinder member is closed by the base member, and the other end of the outer cylinder member is closed by the support member, thereby forming a back pressure chamber partitioned from the valve chamber. There is. The valve body or the drive shaft is arranged so as to straddle the valve chamber and the back pressure chamber. Further, the base member is provided with a flow path that communicates with the valve port and a pressure equalizing hole that connects the flow path and the back pressure chamber. From this, in the valve closed state in which the valve opening is closed by the valve body by the pressure equalizing hole provided in the base member, the fluid pressure applied from the valve opening side to the valve body and the back pressure chamber side The difference from the applied fluid pressure can be reduced. Therefore, the differential pressure applied to the valve body in the moving direction can be effectively reduced without restricting the shape of the valve body.
 本発明において、前記流量制御弁は、前記弁体または前記駆動軸が貫通する環状に形成され、前記弁室と前記背圧室との間を封止する封止部材を有し、前記封止部材が封止する封止箇所の径が、前記弁口の径と同一であることが好ましい。このようにすることで、閉弁状態において、弁体に対して弁口側から加わる流体圧力と背圧室側から加わる流体圧力との差を零(ほぼ零含む)にすることができる。そのため、弁体の形状が制約されることなく弁体に対して移動方向に加わる差圧力をより効果的に小さくできる。 In the present invention, the flow rate control valve includes a sealing member that is formed in an annular shape through which the valve body or the drive shaft penetrates and that seals between the valve chamber and the back pressure chamber, It is preferable that the diameter of the sealing portion sealed by the member is the same as the diameter of the valve port. By doing so, in the valve closed state, the difference between the fluid pressure applied to the valve body from the valve opening side and the fluid pressure applied to the back pressure chamber side can be made zero (including almost zero). Therefore, the differential pressure applied to the valve body in the moving direction can be reduced more effectively without restricting the shape of the valve body.
 本発明において、前記流量制御弁は、前記基体部材および前記支持部材のうちの一方に突部が設けられ、かつ、他方に前記突部が挿入されて当該突部の前記対向方向と直交する方向への移動を規制する孔が設けられていることが好ましい。例えば、基体部材と支持部材とを外筒部材を介して組み付ける場合、基体部材と外筒部材、および、支持部材と外筒部材のそれぞれの寸法公差および組付精度の影響を受けてしまい、弁口と弁体との軸ずれが生じるおそれがある。これに対して、基体部材および支持部材のうちの一方に位置決め用の突部を設け、他方に位置決め用の孔を設けて、基体部材と支持部材とを直接組み付けることで、弁口と弁体との軸ずれを効果的に抑制できる。 In the present invention, in the flow rate control valve, a protrusion is provided on one of the base member and the support member, and the protrusion is inserted on the other side so that a direction orthogonal to the facing direction of the protrusion is provided. It is preferable that a hole that restricts the movement of the sheet is provided. For example, when the base member and the support member are assembled through the outer tubular member, the dimensional tolerance and the assembly accuracy of the base member and the outer tubular member, and the support member and the outer tubular member are affected, and the valve There is a risk of misalignment between the mouth and the valve body. On the other hand, one of the base member and the support member is provided with a positioning projection, and the other is provided with a positioning hole, so that the base member and the support member are directly assembled to each other. The axis deviation with
 本発明において、前記基体部材に、前記孔としての前記弁口と同軸に配置された円形孔が設けられ、前記支持部材に、前記突部としての前記駆動軸と同軸に配置された円筒部が設けられていることが好ましい。このようにすることで、比較的簡易な構成で弁口と弁体との軸ずれを効果的に抑制することができる。 In the present invention, the base member is provided with a circular hole arranged coaxially with the valve opening as the hole, and the support member is provided with a cylindrical portion arranged coaxially with the drive shaft as the protrusion. It is preferably provided. By doing so, it is possible to effectively suppress axial misalignment between the valve opening and the valve body with a relatively simple configuration.
 本発明において、前記円筒部が前記円形孔に圧入されていることが好ましい。このようにすることで、基体部材と支持部材とをより確実に組み付けることができる。 In the present invention, it is preferable that the cylindrical portion is press-fitted into the circular hole. By doing so, the base member and the support member can be assembled more reliably.
 本発明において、前記円筒部が、前記円形孔に圧入される圧入端部と、前記圧入端部に連なり、当該圧入端部より大径の本体部と、を有し、前記圧入端部と前記本体部との間の段部が、前記基体部材に当接されていることが好ましい。このようにすることで、円筒部の圧入端部と本体部との間の段部が基体部材に当接するまで圧入端部を円形孔に圧入することができる。そのため、複数の流量制御弁を組み立てた際に、支持部材の円筒部における基体部材の円形孔への圧入量(圧入される部分の寸法)を均一にすることができる。 In the present invention, the cylindrical portion has a press-fitting end portion that is press-fitted into the circular hole, and a main body portion that is continuous with the press-fitting end portion and has a larger diameter than the press-fitting end portion. It is preferable that a step portion between the main body portion and the main body portion is in contact with the base member. By doing so, the press-fitting end portion can be press-fitted into the circular hole until the step portion between the press-fitting end portion of the cylindrical portion and the main body portion contacts the base member. Therefore, when a plurality of flow rate control valves are assembled, the amount of press-fitting (the size of the press-fitted part) into the circular hole of the base member in the cylindrical portion of the support member can be made uniform.
 本発明において、前記円筒部が、前記円形孔に圧入される圧入端部と、前記圧入端部に連なる本体部と、を有し、前記本体部における前記圧入端部側の端部に、前記圧入端部より径方向外方に突出する突出部が設けられ、前記突出部が、前記基体部材に当接されていることが好ましい。このようにすることで、円筒部の突出部が基体部材に当接するまで圧入端部を円形孔に圧入することができる。そのため、複数の流量制御弁を組み立てた際に、支持部材の円筒部における基体部材の円形孔への圧入量を均一にすることができる。 In the present invention, the cylindrical portion has a press-fitting end portion that is press-fitted into the circular hole, and a main body portion that is continuous with the press-fitting end portion, and at the end portion of the main body portion on the press-fitting end portion side, the It is preferable that a projecting portion is provided that projects radially outward from the press-fitting end portion, and the projecting portion is in contact with the base member. By doing so, the press-fitting end portion can be press-fitted into the circular hole until the protruding portion of the cylindrical portion comes into contact with the base member. Therefore, when a plurality of flow control valves are assembled, the amount of press-fitting into the circular hole of the base member in the cylindrical portion of the support member can be made uniform.
 本発明において、前記支持部材が、前記外筒部材の内側に嵌合される嵌合部を有し、前記嵌合部の外周面が、前記外筒部材の内周面に接するように形成されていることが好ましい。このようにすることで、支持部材の円筒部を基体部材の円形孔に圧入する際に、支持部材の嵌合部の外周面が外筒部材の内周面に接して、支持部材の圧入方向への移動を案内することができる。そのため、円筒部が円形孔に傾いて圧入されてしまうことを抑制できる。 In the present invention, the support member has a fitting portion fitted inside the outer tubular member, and an outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion is formed so as to contact an inner peripheral surface of the outer tubular member. Preferably. By doing so, when the cylindrical portion of the support member is press-fitted into the circular hole of the base member, the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion of the support member is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the outer tubular member, and the press-fitting direction of the support member is You can be guided to move to. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cylindrical portion from being inclined and press-fitted into the circular hole.
 本発明において、前記支持部材が、前記外筒部材の他端における端面に当接される当接部を有していることが好ましい。このようにすることで、支持部材の当接部が外筒部材の他端における端面に当接するまで円筒部を円形孔に圧入することができる。そのため、複数の流量制御弁を組み立てた際に、支持部材の円筒部における基体部材の円形孔への圧入量を均一にすることができる。 In the present invention, it is preferable that the support member has an abutting portion that abuts on an end surface at the other end of the outer tubular member. By doing so, the cylindrical portion can be press-fitted into the circular hole until the contact portion of the support member comes into contact with the end surface at the other end of the outer tubular member. Therefore, when a plurality of flow control valves are assembled, the amount of press-fitting into the circular hole of the base member in the cylindrical portion of the support member can be made uniform.
 本発明において、前記流量制御弁は、前記駆動軸を含む弁体駆動部をさらに有し、前記支持部材が、前記弁体駆動部のケースおよび前記外筒部材の内側に配置され、前記ケースと前記外筒部材とが溶接されていることが好ましい。このようにすることで、ケースと外筒部材とが直接的に溶接されて、弁体駆動部のケースと外筒部材とを個別に支持部材に溶接する構成に比べて、溶接箇所を少なくすることができる。 In the present invention, the flow rate control valve further has a valve body drive unit including the drive shaft, the support member is arranged inside the case of the valve body drive unit and the outer cylinder member, and It is preferable that the outer cylinder member is welded. By doing so, the case and the outer cylinder member are directly welded, and the number of welding points is reduced as compared with a configuration in which the case and the outer cylinder member of the valve body drive unit are individually welded to the support member. be able to.
 本発明において、前記外筒部材の他端における端面が前記支持部材に当接した状態で当該外筒部材と当該支持部材とが固定されていることが好ましい。このようにすることで、複数の流量制御弁を組み立てた際に、支持部材の円筒部における基体部材の円形孔への圧入量を均一にすることができる。 In the present invention, it is preferable that the outer cylinder member and the support member are fixed in a state where the end surface at the other end of the outer cylinder member is in contact with the support member. By doing so, when assembling a plurality of flow rate control valves, the amount of press-fitting into the circular hole of the base member in the cylindrical portion of the support member can be made uniform.
 上記目的を達成するために、本発明の他の一態様に係る流量制御弁の組立方法は、弁室および前記弁室に開口する弁口が設けられた基体部材と、前記基体部材の外側に配置された外筒部材と、前記弁口に対向して配置され、前記弁口を開閉する弁体と、前記弁体が先端部に設けられた駆動軸と、前記駆動軸を前記弁口と前記弁体との対向方向に移動可能に支持する支持部材と、を有し、前記基体部材は、前記弁口に連なる流路および当該流路と前記基体部材の外側とを接続する均圧孔が設けられている流量制御弁の組立方法であって、前記外筒部材の一端を前記基体部材で塞ぎ、前記基体部材に設けられた前記弁口と同軸に配置された円形孔に、前記支持部材に設けられた前記駆動軸と同軸に配置された円筒部を圧入し、前記外筒部材の他端が前記支持部材に突き当たるまで前記円筒部の圧入を進めて前記外筒部材の他端を前記支持部材で塞ぐことにより、前記基体部材の外側に前記弁室と区画された背圧室を形成するとともに、前記弁体または前記駆動軸を前記弁室と前記背圧室とをまたいで配置することを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, a method for assembling a flow control valve according to another aspect of the present invention includes a base member provided with a valve chamber and a valve opening opening to the valve chamber, and a base member provided outside the base member.

In this embodiment, the diameter of the valve chamber 13 and the diameter of the circular hole 14 are the same.
 底壁12には、弁室13に開口する円形の弁口15と、弁口15に連なり下方に延びる流路16と、流路16から横方向に延びる均圧孔17と、弁口15を囲む弁座18と、が設けられている。弁口15と流路16とは、弁室13より小径でかつ弁室13と同軸になるように設けられている。均圧孔17は、流路16と基体部材10の外側に形成される後述の背圧室23とを接続する。弁座18には弁体6が着座する。 The bottom wall 12 includes a circular valve opening 15 that opens into the valve chamber 13, a flow path 16 that extends downward from the valve opening 15, a pressure equalizing hole 17 that extends laterally from the flow path 16, and a valve opening 15. A surrounding valve seat 18 is provided. The valve port 15 and the flow path 16 are provided so as to have a smaller diameter than the valve chamber 13 and to be coaxial with the valve chamber 13. The pressure equalizing hole 17 connects the flow path 16 and a back pressure chamber 23, which will be described later, formed outside the base member 10. The valve body 6 is seated on the valve seat 18.
 外筒部材20は、例えば、ステンレス材で構成されており、円筒状に形成されている。外筒部材20は、基体部材10の外側に配置されており、基体部材10を内側に収容している。外筒部材20の一端である下端20aに基体部材10の底壁12が嵌め込まれており、下端20aが基体部材10によって塞がれている。外筒部材20の下端20aは底壁12にろう付けされている。 The outer cylinder member 20 is made of, for example, a stainless material, and has a cylindrical shape. The outer cylinder member 20 is arranged outside the base member 10, and accommodates the base member 10 inside. The bottom wall 12 of the base member 10 is fitted into the lower end 20 a that is one end of the outer tubular member 20, and the lower end 20 a is closed by the base member 10. The lower end 20a of the outer tubular member 20 is brazed to the bottom wall 12.
 弁本体5は、外筒部材20および基体本体11を横方向から貫通して弁室13に接続される第1導管26を有している。第1導管26は、外筒部材20にろう付けされている。また、弁本体5は、基体本体11の流路16に接続される第2導管27を有している。第2導管27は、基体本体11の底壁12にろう付けされている。 The valve body 5 has a first conduit 26 that penetrates the outer cylinder member 20 and the base body 11 from the lateral direction and is connected to the valve chamber 13. The first conduit 26 is brazed to the outer cylinder member 20. Further, the valve body 5 has a second conduit 27 connected to the flow path 16 of the base body 11. The second conduit 27 is brazed to the bottom wall 12 of the base body 11.
 弁体6は、例えば、ステンレス材で構成されている。弁体6は、全体的に中実(すなわち中空でない)の円柱状に形成されており、下端において下方を向く略円錐形状を有している。弁体6は、円柱状の胴部31と、胴部31の下端に設けられた下方を向く略円錐形状の先端部32と、胴部31の下端から横方向に突出した環状突出部33と、を一体的に有している。胴部31の上端面31aには、取付穴31bが設けられている。取付穴31bには、後述する駆動軸64の先端部64cの先端突起64eが嵌合される。これにより、弁体6が駆動軸64の先端部64cに設けられる。胴部31には、取付穴31bから横方向に貫通する横孔31cが設けられている。横孔31cによって、取付穴31b内の流体圧力と弁体6の外側との流体圧力とを同一にして、取付穴31bから先端突起64eが抜けてしまうことを抑制している。 The valve body 6 is made of, for example, a stainless material. The valve body 6 is formed in a solid (that is, not hollow) columnar shape as a whole, and has a substantially conical shape that faces downward at the lower end. The valve body 6 includes a cylindrical body portion 31, a downwardly facing substantially conical tip portion 32 provided at a lower end of the body portion 31, and an annular protruding portion 33 protruding laterally from the lower end of the body portion 31. , Are integrally provided. A mounting hole 31b is provided in the upper end surface 31a of the body portion 31. A tip projection 64e of a tip portion 64c of the drive shaft 64, which will be described later, is fitted into the mounting hole 31b. As a result, the valve body 6 is provided at the tip portion 64c of the drive shaft 64. The body portion 31 is provided with a lateral hole 31c penetrating laterally from the mounting hole 31b. The lateral hole 31c makes the fluid pressure inside the mounting hole 31b equal to the fluid pressure outside the valve body 6 and prevents the tip projection 64e from coming off from the mounting hole 31b.
 弁体6は、弁室13内に弁口15と上下方向に対向して配置されている。弁体6は、弁体駆動部8によって上下方向に移動され、弁口15を開閉する。上下方向は、弁口15と弁体6との対向方向であり、かつ、弁体6の移動方向である。弁体6が、弁座18から離れると弁口15が開いて開弁状態となる。開弁状態において、第1導管26と第2導管27とが弁室13を介して接続される。弁体6が、弁座18に接する(着座する)と弁口15が閉じて閉弁状態となる。閉弁状態において、第1導管26と第2導管27とが遮断される。 The valve body 6 is arranged in the valve chamber 13 so as to face the valve opening 15 in the vertical direction. The valve body 6 is vertically moved by the valve body drive unit 8 to open and close the valve port 15. The up-down direction is a direction in which the valve opening 15 and the valve body 6 face each other, and a moving direction of the valve body 6. When the valve body 6 separates from the valve seat 18, the valve port 15 opens and the valve is opened. In the valve open state, the first conduit 26 and the second conduit 27 are connected via the valve chamber 13. When the valve body 6 contacts (seats) the valve seat 18, the valve opening 15 is closed and the valve is closed. In the valve closed state, the first conduit 26 and the second conduit 27 are shut off.
 弁体6の先端部32は、中実構成を有するので先端部32の形状に制約がない。そのため、弁体6の先端部32の形状に、流量特性としてイコールパーセント特性またはそれに近い特性を得られるように設計された形状を採用することができる。このような形状として、例えば、楕円面または複数段の円すい状のテーパ面部を有する形状がある。複数段の円すい状のテーパ面部は、楕円面を疑似するように、弁口15側に近づくにしたがってテーパ角度が段階的に大きくなる。または、弁体6の先端部32の形状に、流量特性としてリニア特性を得られるように設計された形状を採用することもできる。 Since the tip portion 32 of the valve body 6 has a solid structure, there is no restriction on the shape of the tip portion 32. Therefore, the shape of the tip portion 32 of the valve body 6 can be a shape designed to obtain an equal percent characteristic or a characteristic close to it as a flow rate characteristic. As such a shape, for example, there is a shape having an elliptical surface or a plurality of conical tapered surface portions. The taper angle of the tapered surface having a plurality of conical shapes gradually increases toward the valve port 15 side so as to simulate an elliptical surface. Alternatively, the tip portion 32 of the valve body 6 may have a shape designed to obtain a linear characteristic as a flow rate characteristic.
 弁体駆動部8は、弁本体5の上部に取り付けられている。弁体駆動部8は、弁体6を上下方向に移動させることにより弁座18に対して接離させて、弁口15を閉じたり開いたりする。弁体駆動部8は、ケースとしてのキャン40と、モーター部50と、駆動機構部60と、ホルダー70と、を有している。 The valve body drive unit 8 is attached to the upper portion of the valve body 5. The valve body drive unit 8 moves the valve body 6 in the vertical direction to bring the valve body 6 into and out of contact with the valve seat 18, thereby closing or opening the valve port 15. The valve body drive unit 8 includes a can 40 as a case, a motor unit 50, a drive mechanism unit 60, and a holder 70.
 キャン40は、例えば、ステンレス材で構成されている。キャン40は、上端が塞がれた円筒状に形成されている。キャン40の下端40aに後述するホルダー70(具体的にはホルダー本体71)が嵌め込まれており、下端40aがホルダー70により塞がれている。キャン40の下端40aはホルダー70に溶接されている。 The can 40 is made of, for example, a stainless material. The can 40 is formed in a cylindrical shape whose upper end is closed. A holder 70 (specifically, a holder body 71) described later is fitted into the lower end 40a of the can 40, and the lower end 40a is closed by the holder 70. The lower end 40a of the can 40 is welded to the holder 70.
 モーター部50は、キャン40の内側に回転可能に収容されたローター51と、キャン40の外側に配置されたステーター52と、を有している。ステーター52は、ヨーク53、ボビン54、ステーターコイル55および樹脂モールドカバー56などで構成されている。ローター51とステーター52とでステッピングモーターを構成している。 The motor unit 50 has a rotor 51 rotatably housed inside the can 40 and a stator 52 arranged outside the can 40. The stator 52 includes a yoke 53, a bobbin 54, a stator coil 55, a resin mold cover 56, and the like. The rotor 51 and the stator 52 form a stepping motor.
 駆動機構部60は、ガイドブッシュ61と、弁軸ホルダー62と、ストッパ機構63と、駆動軸64と、封止部材65と、を有している。 The drive mechanism unit 60 includes a guide bush 61, a valve shaft holder 62, a stopper mechanism 63, a drive shaft 64, and a sealing member 65.
 ガイドブッシュ61は、円筒状の小径部61aと、小径部61aの下端に同軸に連なる円筒状の大径部61bとを一体的に有している。小径部61aの内径と大径部61bの内径とは同一である。小径部61aの外周面には雄ねじ61cが設けられている。小径部61aには、横方向に貫通する横孔61dが設けられている。 The guide bush 61 integrally includes a cylindrical small-diameter portion 61a and a cylindrical large-diameter portion 61b coaxially connected to the lower end of the small-diameter portion 61a. The inner diameter of the small diameter portion 61a and the inner diameter of the large diameter portion 61b are the same. A male screw 61c is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the small diameter portion 61a. The small diameter portion 61a is provided with a lateral hole 61d penetrating in the lateral direction.
 弁軸ホルダー62は、上端が塞がれた円筒状に形成されている。弁軸ホルダー62は、円筒状の周壁部62aと、周壁部62aの上端を塞ぐ上壁部62bと、を一体的に有している。周壁部62aの内周面には、ガイドブッシュ61の雄ねじ61cと螺合される雌ねじ62cが設けられている。上壁部62bは、当該上壁部62bにかしめ固定された支持リング66を介してローター51と一体的に連結されている。そのため、ローター51が回転すると弁軸ホルダー62も回転する。そして、弁軸ホルダー62が回転すると、雄ねじ61cと雌ねじ62cとの送りねじ作用により、弁軸ホルダー62がガイドブッシュ61の軸方向(上下方向)に移動する。なお、弁軸ホルダー62の上方には、雄ねじ61cと雌ねじ62cとの螺合が外れたときに再度螺合しやすくするためのコイルばねからなる復帰ばね67が設けられている。 The valve shaft holder 62 is formed in a cylindrical shape with its upper end closed. The valve shaft holder 62 integrally has a cylindrical peripheral wall portion 62a and an upper wall portion 62b that closes the upper end of the peripheral wall portion 62a. On the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall portion 62a, a female screw 62c that is screwed into the male screw 61c of the guide bush 61 is provided. The upper wall portion 62b is integrally connected to the rotor 51 via a support ring 66 that is caulked and fixed to the upper wall portion 62b. Therefore, when the rotor 51 rotates, the valve shaft holder 62 also rotates. Then, when the valve shaft holder 62 rotates, the valve shaft holder 62 moves in the axial direction (vertical direction) of the guide bush 61 due to the feed screw action of the male screw 61c and the female screw 62c. A return spring 67 is provided above the valve shaft holder 62. The return spring 67 is a coil spring that facilitates re-engagement of the male screw 61c and the female screw 62c when they are disengaged from each other.
 ストッパ機構63は、ガイドブッシュ61に固定された下ストッパ体63aと、弁軸ホルダー62に固定された上ストッパ体63bと、を有している。ストッパ機構63は、弁軸ホルダー62が下限位置に到達すると、下ストッパ体63aと上ストッパ体63bとが互いに突き当たり、ガイドブッシュ61に対する弁軸ホルダー62の移動を規制する。 The stopper mechanism 63 has a lower stopper body 63a fixed to the guide bush 61 and an upper stopper body 63b fixed to the valve shaft holder 62. When the valve shaft holder 62 reaches the lower limit position, the stopper mechanism 63 restricts the movement of the valve shaft holder 62 with respect to the guide bush 61 by abutting the lower stopper body 63a and the upper stopper body 63b against each other.
 駆動軸64は、全体的に長尺の円柱状に形成されている。駆動軸64は、ガイドブッシュ61に挿通され、ガイドブッシュ61と同軸に配置される。駆動軸64は、上端部64aと胴部64bと先端部64cとが上方から下方に順に一体的に設けられている。上端部64aは、胴部64bより小径に形成されており、弁軸ホルダー62の上壁部62bの貫通孔に挿通されている。上端部64aには、プッシュナット64dが固着されている。胴部64bは、上下方向に摺動可能にガイドブッシュ61に支持されている。上端部64aと胴部64bとの段部と、弁軸ホルダー62の上壁部62bとの間には、駆動軸64を常時下方に向けて押す圧縮コイルばね68が設けられている。プッシュナット64dと圧縮コイルばね68が設けられていることにより、弁軸ホルダー62の移動に伴って駆動軸64が上下方向に移動する。先端部64cには、弁体6の胴部31の取付穴31bに嵌合される細身の先端突起64eが設けられている。また、駆動軸64は、胴部64bの下端に横方向に突出するフランジ部64fが一体的に設けられている。フランジ部64fの径は、弁体6の胴部31の径と同一である。 The drive shaft 64 is formed in a generally long cylindrical shape. The drive shaft 64 is inserted into the guide bush 61 and arranged coaxially with the guide bush 61. The drive shaft 64 has an upper end portion 64a, a body portion 64b, and a tip end portion 64c that are integrally provided in order from the upper side to the lower side. The upper end portion 64a has a smaller diameter than the body portion 64b, and is inserted into the through hole of the upper wall portion 62b of the valve shaft holder 62. A push nut 64d is fixed to the upper end 64a. The body portion 64b is supported by the guide bush 61 so as to be vertically slidable. A compression coil spring 68 that constantly pushes the drive shaft 64 downward is provided between the stepped portion of the upper end portion 64a and the body portion 64b and the upper wall portion 62b of the valve shaft holder 62. Since the push nut 64d and the compression coil spring 68 are provided, the drive shaft 64 moves in the vertical direction as the valve shaft holder 62 moves. The tip 64c is provided with a slender tip projection 64e that is fitted into the mounting hole 31b of the body 31 of the valve body 6. Further, the drive shaft 64 is integrally provided with a flange portion 64f protruding laterally at the lower end of the body portion 64b. The diameter of the flange portion 64f is the same as the diameter of the body portion 31 of the valve body 6.
 封止部材65は、円環状に形成されている。封止部材65は、駆動軸64の先端部64cが内側に嵌め込まれている。すなわち、封止部材65は、駆動軸64の先端部64cが貫通している。封止部材65は、フランジ部64fと弁体6の胴部31の上端面31aとの間に挟まれて配置されている。本実施例において、封止部材65は、ゴム材からなるOリング65aの外側にポリテトラフルオロエチレン(PTFE)製のリング状のパッキン65bが設けられている。 The sealing member 65 is formed in an annular shape. The tip portion 64c of the drive shaft 64 is fitted inside the sealing member 65. That is, the end portion 64c of the drive shaft 64 penetrates the sealing member 65. The sealing member 65 is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the flange portion 64f and the upper end surface 31a of the body portion 31 of the valve body 6. In this embodiment, the sealing member 65 is provided with a ring-shaped packing 65b made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) on the outside of an O-ring 65a made of a rubber material.
 ホルダー70は、例えば、ステンレス材で構成されている。ホルダー70は、略円板状のホルダー本体71と、位置決め用の突部としての円筒部72と、を一体的に有している。円筒部72は、ホルダー本体71の下面71aから下方に向けて突出している。 The holder 70 is made of, for example, a stainless material. The holder 70 integrally has a substantially disk-shaped holder main body 71 and a cylindrical portion 72 as a protrusion for positioning. The cylindrical portion 72 projects downward from the lower surface 71a of the holder body 71.
 ホルダー本体71は、下面71aに外筒部材20の他端としての上端20bの端面20cが当接した状態で、当該上端20bがホルダー本体71に溶接されている。外筒部材20の上端20bはホルダー本体71により塞がれている。これにより、弁室13と区画された背圧室23が、基体部材10と外筒部材20とホルダー本体71とによって形成される。また、キャン40の下端40aがホルダー本体71に溶接されている。 The holder main body 71 is welded to the holder main body 71 with the lower end 71a being in contact with the end surface 20c of the upper end 20b as the other end of the outer tubular member 20. The upper end 20b of the outer cylinder member 20 is closed by the holder body 71. As a result, the back pressure chamber 23 partitioned from the valve chamber 13 is formed by the base member 10, the outer cylinder member 20, and the holder body 71. Further, the lower end 40 a of the can 40 is welded to the holder body 71.
 ホルダー本体71の上面の中央には、円筒部72と同軸に配置された円形の圧入穴71bが設けられている。圧入穴71bには、ガイドブッシュ61の大径部61bが圧入される。これにより、ガイドブッシュ61と円筒部72とが同軸に配置された状態で、ホルダー本体71とガイドブッシュ61とが一体化される。ホルダー70とガイドブッシュ61とは、駆動軸64を弁口15と弁体6との対向方向に移動可能に支持する支持部材69を構成する。圧入穴71bの底面の中央には、駆動軸64の胴部64bが挿通される軸孔71cが設けられている。ホルダー本体71の周縁部には、上下方向に貫通する縦孔71dが設けられている。 A circular press-fitting hole 71b arranged coaxially with the cylindrical portion 72 is provided in the center of the upper surface of the holder body 71. The large diameter portion 61b of the guide bush 61 is press-fitted into the press-fitting hole 71b. Thus, the holder body 71 and the guide bush 61 are integrated with each other in a state where the guide bush 61 and the cylindrical portion 72 are coaxially arranged. The holder 70 and the guide bush 61 constitute a support member 69 that supports the drive shaft 64 so as to be movable in the direction in which the valve opening 15 and the valve body 6 face each other. A shaft hole 71c into which the body portion 64b of the drive shaft 64 is inserted is provided at the center of the bottom surface of the press-fitting hole 71b. A vertical hole 71d penetrating in the vertical direction is provided in the peripheral portion of the holder body 71.
 円筒部72は、基体部材10の円形孔14に圧入されている。これにより、ホルダー70が基体部材10と直接組み付けられるとともに、円筒部72と円形孔14とが同軸に配置される。円筒部72と弁口15も同軸に配置される。また、円形孔14に円筒部72が挿入されることにより、円形孔14は円筒部72の上下方向(対向方向)と直交する方向への移動を規制する。 The cylindrical portion 72 is press-fitted into the circular hole 14 of the base member 10. As a result, the holder 70 is directly assembled to the base member 10, and the cylindrical portion 72 and the circular hole 14 are coaxially arranged. The cylindrical portion 72 and the valve port 15 are also arranged coaxially. Further, by inserting the cylindrical portion 72 into the circular hole 14, the circular hole 14 restricts the movement of the cylindrical portion 72 in a direction orthogonal to the vertical direction (opposing direction).
 円筒部72の内側には、弁体6の胴部31と、駆動軸64の先端部64cおよびフランジ部64fと、封止部材65と、が上下方向に移動可能に配置される。封止部材65の外周に配置されたパッキン65bは、円筒部72の内面に押し付けられている。これにより、封止部材65は、弁室13と背圧室23との間を封止している。駆動軸64の上下方向の移動に伴い、封止部材65が円筒部72の内周面に摺動される。円筒部72の上端には、横方向に貫通する横孔72aが設けられている。本実施例において、円筒部72の内径(すなわち、封止部材65により封止される封止箇所の径)は、弁口15の径と同一である。円筒部72の内径は、弁口15の径と異なっていてもよいが、それらの差を小さくすることが好ましい。 Inside the cylindrical portion 72, the body portion 31 of the valve body 6, the tip portion 64c and the flange portion 64f of the drive shaft 64, and the sealing member 65 are arranged so as to be vertically movable. The packing 65b arranged on the outer periphery of the sealing member 65 is pressed against the inner surface of the cylindrical portion 72. Thereby, the sealing member 65 seals between the valve chamber 13 and the back pressure chamber 23. The sealing member 65 slides on the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 72 as the drive shaft 64 moves in the vertical direction. A lateral hole 72a penetrating in the lateral direction is provided at the upper end of the cylindrical portion 72. In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 72 (that is, the diameter of the sealing portion sealed by the sealing member 65) is the same as the diameter of the valve port 15. The inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 72 may be different from the diameter of the valve port 15, but it is preferable to reduce the difference between them.
 流量制御弁1は、駆動軸64の先端部64cに嵌め込まれた封止部材65により弁室13と背圧室23とが封止されていることから、駆動軸64が弁室13と背圧室23とにまたがって配置されている。そして、基体部材10の流路16と背圧室23とが、基体部材10の均圧孔17により接続されている。背圧室23とキャン40の内側空間41とがホルダー本体71の縦孔71dにより接続されている。そのため、閉弁状態において、流路16の流体圧力と背圧室23の流体圧力とが同一となり、弁体6に対して弁口15側から加わる流体圧力と背圧室23側から加わる流体圧力との差(差圧力)が小さくなる。本実施例では、弁口15の径(図3に両矢印D1で示す)とホルダー70の円筒部72の内径(図3に両矢印D2で示す)とを同一にしている。そのため、差圧力は零(ほぼ零含む)になり、差圧力によって弁体6の移動が妨げられることを効果的に抑制できる。 In the flow rate control valve 1, since the valve chamber 13 and the back pressure chamber 23 are sealed by the sealing member 65 fitted to the tip end portion 64 c of the drive shaft 64, the drive shaft 64 is connected to the valve chamber 13 and the back pressure chamber 23. It is arranged across the chamber 23. The flow path 16 of the base member 10 and the back pressure chamber 23 are connected by the pressure equalizing hole 17 of the base member 10. The back pressure chamber 23 and the inner space 41 of the can 40 are connected by a vertical hole 71d of the holder body 71. Therefore, in the valve closed state, the fluid pressure in the flow path 16 and the fluid pressure in the back pressure chamber 23 become the same, and the fluid pressure applied to the valve body 6 from the valve port 15 side and the fluid pressure applied from the back pressure chamber 23 side. The difference (pressure difference) with In this embodiment, the diameter of the valve port 15 (shown by a double-headed arrow D1 in FIG. 3) and the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 72 of the holder 70 (shown by a double-headed arrow D2 in FIG. 3) are the same. Therefore, the differential pressure becomes zero (including almost zero), and it is possible to effectively prevent the movement of the valve body 6 from being hindered by the differential pressure.
 円筒部72の内側におけるフランジ部64fより上方の空間72bは、横孔72aにより背圧室23に接続されている。さらに空間72bは、キャン40の内側空間41、ガイドブッシュ61の横孔61d、ガイドブッシュ61と駆動軸64との隙間、および、ホルダー70の軸孔71cによっても背圧室23に接続されている。これにより、フランジ部64fの移動により空間72bの流体圧力が変化した場合でも、空間72bの流体圧力が速やかに背圧室23の流体圧力と同一になる。 A space 72b above the flange portion 64f inside the cylindrical portion 72 is connected to the back pressure chamber 23 by a lateral hole 72a. Further, the space 72b is also connected to the back pressure chamber 23 by the inner space 41 of the can 40, the lateral hole 61d of the guide bush 61, the gap between the guide bush 61 and the drive shaft 64, and the shaft hole 71c of the holder 70. .. Accordingly, even if the fluid pressure in the space 72b changes due to the movement of the flange portion 64f, the fluid pressure in the space 72b quickly becomes the same as the fluid pressure in the back pressure chamber 23.
 次に、上述した流量制御弁1の組立方法について説明する。 Next, a method for assembling the flow control valve 1 described above will be described.

 (2)弁体駆動部8を組み立てる。具体的には、ホルダー本体71の圧入穴71bに、ガイドブッシュ61の大径部61bを圧入して、ホルダー本体71とガイドブッシュ61とを一体化する。ガイドブッシュ61の雄ねじ61cに、弁軸ホルダー62の雌ねじ62cを螺合する。ガイドブッシュ61には、下ストッパ体63aがあらかじめ取り付けられている。弁軸ホルダー62には、上ストッパ体63bがあらかじめ取り付けられている。また、弁軸ホルダー62には、支持リング66を介してローター51があらかじめ連結されている。封止部材65に駆動軸64の先端部64cを嵌め込み、先端部64cの先端突起64eを弁体6の取付穴31bに嵌合して駆動軸64に弁体6を取り付ける。ホルダー70の円筒部72、ホルダー70の軸孔71cおよびガイドブッシュ61に下方から駆動軸64を挿入する。駆動軸64の上端部64aに圧縮コイルばね68を設置して、上端部64aを弁軸ホルダー62の上壁部62bの貫通孔に挿入する。駆動軸64の上端部64aにプッシュナット64dを固着し、復帰ばね67を配置する。そして、ローター51、ガイドブッシュ61、弁軸ホルダー62およびストッパ機構63等を組み付けた組付体をキャン40の内側に挿入する。キャン40の下端40aにホルダー本体71を嵌め込み、当該下端40aをホルダー本体71で塞ぐ。キャン40の下端40aをホルダー本体71に溶接する。ステーター52をキャン40に取り付ける。この状態において、駆動軸64および弁体6は、円筒部72と同軸に配置されている。 (2) Assemble the valve body drive unit 8. Specifically, the large diameter portion 61b of the guide bush 61 is press-fitted into the press-fitting hole 71b of the holder body 71 to integrate the holder body 71 and the guide bush 61. The male screw 61c of the guide bush 61 is screwed into the female screw 62c of the valve shaft holder 62. A lower stopper body 63a is attached to the guide bush 61 in advance. An upper stopper body 63b is attached to the valve shaft holder 62 in advance. Further, the rotor 51 is previously connected to the valve shaft holder 62 via a support ring 66. The tip 64c of the drive shaft 64 is fitted into the sealing member 65, and the tip projection 64e of the tip 64c is fitted into the mounting hole 31b of the valve body 6 to mount the valve body 6 on the drive shaft 64. The drive shaft 64 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 72 of the holder 70, the shaft hole 71c of the holder 70, and the guide bush 61 from below. The compression coil spring 68 is installed on the upper end portion 64a of the drive shaft 64, and the upper end portion 64a is inserted into the through hole of the upper wall portion 62b of the valve shaft holder 62. A push nut 64d is fixed to the upper end 64a of the drive shaft 64, and a return spring 67 is arranged. Then, the assembled body in which the rotor 51, the guide bush 61, the valve shaft holder 62, the stopper mechanism 63 and the like are assembled is inserted into the can 40. The holder main body 71 is fitted into the lower end 40a of the can 40, and the lower end 40a is closed by the holder main body 71. The lower end 40a of the can 40 is welded to the holder body 71. Attach the stator 52 to the can 40. In this state, the drive shaft 64 and the valve body 6 are arranged coaxially with the cylindrical portion 72.
 (3)そして、弁本体5と弁体駆動部8とを組み付ける。具体的には、基体部材10の円形孔14に円筒部72を圧入する。外筒部材20の上端20bの端面20cがホルダー本体71に当接するまで円筒部72の圧入を進めて当該上端20bをホルダー本体71で塞ぐことにより、基体部材10の外側に弁室13と区画された背圧室23を形成する。同時に、駆動軸64を弁室13と背圧室23とをまたいで配置する。最後に、外筒部材20の上端20bをホルダー本体71に溶接する。このようにして、流量制御弁1が完成する。 (3) Then, the valve body 5 and the valve body drive unit 8 are assembled. Specifically, the cylindrical portion 72 is press-fitted into the circular hole 14 of the base member 10. The press-fitting of the cylindrical portion 72 is advanced until the end surface 20c of the upper end 20b of the outer tubular member 20 contacts the holder main body 71, and the upper end 20b is closed by the holder main body 71, so that the valve chamber 13 is partitioned outside the base member 10. The back pressure chamber 23 is formed. At the same time, the drive shaft 64 is arranged so as to straddle the valve chamber 13 and the back pressure chamber 23. Finally, the upper end 20b of the outer cylinder member 20 is welded to the holder body 71. In this way, the flow control valve 1 is completed.
 以上より、本実施例の流量制御弁1によれば、外筒部材20の下端20aが基体部材10により塞がれ、かつ、外筒部材20の上端20bがホルダー本体71により塞がれており、弁室13と区画された背圧室23が形成されている。駆動軸64が弁室13と背圧室23とをまたいで配置されている。そして、基体部材10は、弁口15に連なる流路16および当該流路16と背圧室23とを接続する均圧孔17が設けられている。このようにしたことから、基体部材10に設けられた均圧孔17によって、閉弁状態において、弁体6に対して弁口15側から加わる流体圧力と背圧室23側から加わる流体圧力との差を小さくすることができる。そのため、弁体6の形状が制約されることなく弁体6に対して移動方向に加わる差圧力を効果的に小さくできる。 As described above, according to the flow control valve 1 of the present embodiment, the lower end 20a of the outer tubular member 20 is closed by the base member 10, and the upper end 20b of the outer tubular member 20 is closed by the holder main body 71. A back pressure chamber 23 that is partitioned from the valve chamber 13 is formed. The drive shaft 64 is arranged so as to straddle the valve chamber 13 and the back pressure chamber 23. Further, the base member 10 is provided with a flow passage 16 which is continuous with the valve port 15 and a pressure equalizing hole 17 which connects the flow passage 16 and the back pressure chamber 23. As a result, the pressure equalizing hole 17 provided in the base member 10 allows the fluid pressure applied from the valve port 15 side and the fluid pressure applied from the back pressure chamber 23 side to the valve body 6 in the valve closed state. The difference between can be reduced. Therefore, the differential pressure applied to the valve body 6 in the moving direction can be effectively reduced without restricting the shape of the valve body 6.
 また、流量制御弁1は、駆動軸64が貫通する環状に形成され、弁室13と背圧室23との間を封止する封止部材65を有している。そして、円筒部72の内径(封止部材65が封止する封止箇所の径であり、図3の両矢印D2で示す)が、弁口15の径(図3の両矢印D1で示す)と同一である。このようにすることで、閉弁状態において、弁体6に対して弁口15側から加わる流体圧力と背圧室23側から加わる流体圧力との差を零にすることができる。そのため、弁体6の形状が制約されることなく弁体6に対して移動方向に加わる差圧力をより効果的に小さくできる。 Further, the flow rate control valve 1 has a sealing member 65 which is formed in an annular shape through which the drive shaft 64 penetrates and seals between the valve chamber 13 and the back pressure chamber 23. The inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 72 (the diameter of the sealing portion sealed by the sealing member 65, which is indicated by the double-headed arrow D2 in FIG. 3) is the diameter of the valve opening 15 (indicated by the double-headed arrow D1 in FIG. 3). Is the same as By doing so, the difference between the fluid pressure applied to the valve body 6 from the valve port 15 side and the fluid pressure applied from the back pressure chamber 23 side to the valve body 6 can be zero in the valve closed state. Therefore, the differential pressure applied to the valve body 6 in the moving direction can be reduced more effectively without restricting the shape of the valve body 6.
 また、流量制御弁1は、基体部材10に弁口15と同軸に配置された円形孔14が設けられ、ホルダー70に駆動軸64と同軸に配置された円筒部72が設けられている。そして、円筒部72は円形孔14に圧入される。このようにすることで、基体部材10とホルダー70とを直接組み付けて、比較的簡易な構成で弁口15と弁体6との軸ずれを効果的に抑制できる。また、圧入により基体部材10とホルダー70とをより確実に組み付けることができる。 Further, in the flow control valve 1, the base member 10 is provided with the circular hole 14 coaxially arranged with the valve port 15, and the holder 70 is provided with the cylindrical portion 72 coaxially arranged with the drive shaft 64. Then, the cylindrical portion 72 is press-fitted into the circular hole 14. By doing so, it is possible to directly assemble the base member 10 and the holder 70 and effectively suppress the axial deviation between the valve port 15 and the valve body 6 with a relatively simple configuration. Further, the base member 10 and the holder 70 can be assembled more reliably by press fitting.
 また、外筒部材20の上端20bの端面20cがホルダー本体71に当接した状態で、外筒部材20とホルダー本体71とが溶接により固定されている。このようにすることで、複数の流量制御弁1を組み立てた際に、円筒部72の基体部材10の円形孔14への圧入量を均一にすることができる。 Also, the outer cylinder member 20 and the holder body 71 are fixed by welding in a state where the end surface 20c of the upper end 20b of the outer cylinder member 20 is in contact with the holder body 71. By doing so, when assembling the plurality of flow rate control valves 1, the amount of press-fitting of the cylindrical portion 72 into the circular hole 14 of the base member 10 can be made uniform.
 上述した実施例では、ホルダー70の円筒部72を基体部材10の円形孔14に圧入する構成であったが、これ以外の構成を採用してもよい。例えば、円筒部72を円形孔14に挿入するとともに、円筒部72の外周面と円形孔14の内周面との間にOリングなどの封止部材を設けた構成を採用してもよい。 In the above-described embodiment, the cylindrical portion 72 of the holder 70 is press-fitted into the circular hole 14 of the base member 10, but other configurations may be adopted. For example, a configuration may be adopted in which the cylindrical portion 72 is inserted into the circular hole 14 and a sealing member such as an O-ring is provided between the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 72 and the inner peripheral surface of the circular hole 14.
 また、上述した実施例では、弁体6と駆動軸64とが別体で構成されていたが、例えば、図4、図5に示す流量制御弁1Aのように、弁体6と駆動軸64とを一体的に構成してもよい。この構成では、弁体6が駆動軸64を含み、弁体6が弁室13と背圧室23とをまたいで配置されている。そして、封止部材65が、弁体6が貫通する環状に形成され、弁室13と背圧室23との間を封止する。 In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the valve body 6 and the drive shaft 64 are configured separately, but the valve body 6 and the drive shaft 64 are, for example, as in the flow control valve 1A shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. And may be integrally configured. In this configuration, the valve body 6 includes the drive shaft 64, and the valve body 6 is arranged so as to straddle the valve chamber 13 and the back pressure chamber 23. Then, the sealing member 65 is formed in an annular shape through which the valve body 6 penetrates, and seals between the valve chamber 13 and the back pressure chamber 23.
 また、上述した実施例では、基体部材10に、位置決め用の孔としての円形孔14が設けられ、ホルダー70に、位置決め用の突部としての円筒部72が設けられていたが、これとは逆に、基体部材10に位置決め用の突部を設け、ホルダー70に位置決め用の孔を設けてもよい。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the base member 10 is provided with the circular hole 14 as a positioning hole, and the holder 70 is provided with the cylindrical portion 72 as a positioning protrusion. Conversely, the base member 10 may be provided with a positioning projection, and the holder 70 may be provided with a positioning hole.
(第2実施例)
 以下、本発明の第2実施例に係る流量制御弁について、図6を参照して説明する。
(Second embodiment)
Hereinafter, a flow rate control valve according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
 図6は、本発明の第2実施例に係る流量制御弁の弁体およびその近傍の拡大断面図である。図6に示す第2実施例に係る流量制御弁2において、上記流量制御弁1と同一の構成については同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。 FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the valve body of the flow control valve according to the second embodiment of the present invention and the vicinity thereof. In the flow rate control valve 2 according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the same components as those of the flow rate control valve 1 are designated by the same reference numerals and their description is omitted.
 流量制御弁2は、流量制御弁1のホルダー70と構成の異なるホルダー70Aを有する。 The flow control valve 2 has a holder 70A having a different structure from the holder 70 of the flow control valve 1.
 ホルダー70Aは、例えば、ステンレス材で構成されている。ホルダー70Aは、略円板状のホルダー本体71Aと、位置決め用の突部としての円筒状の円筒部72Aと、を一体的に有している。円筒部72Aは、ホルダー本体71Aの下面71aから下方に向けて突出している。 The holder 70A is made of, for example, a stainless material. The holder 70A integrally includes a substantially disk-shaped holder main body 71A and a cylindrical cylindrical portion 72A as a protrusion for positioning. The cylindrical portion 72A projects downward from the lower surface 71a of the holder body 71A.
 ホルダー本体71Aは、外径が外筒部材20の内径と同一である。ホルダー本体71Aは、嵌合部に相当し、外筒部材20の上端20bの内側に嵌合されている。外筒部材20の上端20bはホルダー本体71Aにより塞がれている。ホルダー70Aとガイドブッシュ61とは、支持部材69Aを構成する。支持部材69Aは、キャン40および外筒部材20の内側に配置されている。キャン40の下端40aは、外筒部材20の上端20bに溶接されている。キャン40と外筒部材20とを直接溶接することで、キャン40と外筒部材20とを個別にホルダー70に溶接する第1実施例の流量制御弁1より溶接箇所を少なくすることができる。 The outer diameter of the holder body 71A is the same as the inner diameter of the outer tubular member 20. The holder main body 71A corresponds to a fitting portion and is fitted inside the upper end 20b of the outer tubular member 20. The upper end 20b of the outer cylinder member 20 is closed by the holder body 71A. The holder 70A and the guide bush 61 form a support member 69A. The support member 69A is arranged inside the can 40 and the outer cylinder member 20. The lower end 40a of the can 40 is welded to the upper end 20b of the outer tubular member 20. By directly welding the can 40 and the outer cylinder member 20, it is possible to reduce the number of welding points as compared with the flow control valve 1 of the first embodiment in which the can 40 and the outer cylinder member 20 are individually welded to the holder 70.
 円筒部72Aは、先端部である圧入端部72cと、本体部72dと、を有している。圧入端部72cと本体部72dとは上下方向に連なっている。本体部72dは、圧入端部72cより大径に形成されている。圧入端部72cと本体部72dとの間には段部72eが形成されている。圧入端部72cは、段部72eが基体部材10に当接するまで円形孔14に圧入されている。これにより、ホルダー70Aが基体部材10と直接組み付けられ、円筒部72Aと円形孔14(すなわち弁口15)とが同軸に配置される。そして、円形孔14が円筒部72Aの上下方向(対向方向)と直交する方向への移動を規制する。また、円筒部72Aの段部72eが基体部材10に当接されている。そのため、複数の流量制御弁2を組み立てた際に、円筒部72Aにおける基体部材10の円形孔14への圧入量を均一にすることができる。 The cylindrical portion 72A has a press-fitting end portion 72c, which is a tip portion, and a main body portion 72d. The press-fitting end portion 72c and the main body portion 72d are vertically connected. The main body portion 72d is formed to have a larger diameter than the press-fitting end portion 72c. A step portion 72e is formed between the press-fitting end portion 72c and the main body portion 72d. The press-fitting end portion 72c is press-fitted into the circular hole 14 until the step portion 72e comes into contact with the base member 10. As a result, the holder 70A is directly assembled to the base member 10, and the cylindrical portion 72A and the circular hole 14 (that is, the valve port 15) are coaxially arranged. Then, the circular hole 14 restricts the movement of the cylindrical portion 72A in the direction orthogonal to the vertical direction (opposing direction). Further, the step portion 72e of the cylindrical portion 72A is in contact with the base member 10. Therefore, when the plurality of flow rate control valves 2 are assembled, the amount of press-fitting of the base member 10 into the circular hole 14 in the cylindrical portion 72A can be made uniform.
 また、ホルダー本体71Aは、外筒部材20の上端20bの内側に嵌合されている。そして、ホルダー本体71Aの外径が外筒部材20の内径と同一であることから、ホルダー本体71Aの外周面が、外筒部材20の内周面に接するように形成されている。これにより、円筒部72Aの圧入端部72cを基体部材10の円形孔14に圧入する際に、ホルダー本体71Aの外周面が外筒部材20の内周面に接して、上下方向(圧入方向)への移動を案内する。そのため、円筒部72Aの圧入端部72cが円形孔14に傾いて圧入されてしまうことを抑制できる。 The holder body 71A is fitted inside the upper end 20b of the outer tubular member 20. Since the outer diameter of the holder main body 71A is the same as the inner diameter of the outer tubular member 20, the outer peripheral surface of the holder main body 71A is formed so as to contact the inner peripheral surface of the outer tubular member 20. Thus, when the press-fitting end portion 72c of the cylindrical portion 72A is press-fitted into the circular hole 14 of the base member 10, the outer peripheral surface of the holder body 71A contacts the inner peripheral surface of the outer tubular member 20, and the vertical direction (press-fitting direction) To guide you to. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the press-fitting end portion 72c of the cylindrical portion 72A from being inclined and press-fitted into the circular hole 14.
 本実施例では、円筒部72Aが、圧入端部72cと本体部72dとの間に段部72eが設けられた構成であった。この構成以外にも、次のような構成を採用してもよい。すなわち、円筒部72Aが、先端部である圧入端部72cと、圧入端部72cに連なる本体部72dと、を有している。本体部72dにおける圧入端部72c側の端部に、圧入端部72cより径方向外方に突出する突出部が設けられている。突出部は、例えば、1つまたは周方向に間隔をあけて複数設けられている。そして、突出部が、基体部材10に当接されている。この構成においても、突出部が基体部材10に当接するまで圧入端部72cを円形孔14に圧入することで、複数の流量制御弁を組み立てた際に、円筒部72Aにおける基体部材10の円形孔14への圧入量を均一にすることができる。 In the present embodiment, the cylindrical portion 72A has a configuration in which the step portion 72e is provided between the press-fitting end portion 72c and the main body portion 72d. In addition to this configuration, the following configuration may be adopted. That is, the cylindrical portion 72A has a press-fitting end portion 72c that is a tip end portion and a main body portion 72d that is continuous with the press-fitting end portion 72c. A projecting portion that projects radially outward from the press-fitting end portion 72c is provided at an end portion of the main body portion 72d on the press-fitting end portion 72c side. For example, one protrusion or a plurality of protrusions are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction. The protruding portion is in contact with the base member 10. Also in this configuration, the press-fitting end portion 72c is press-fitted into the circular hole 14 until the protrusion contacts the base member 10, so that when the plurality of flow rate control valves are assembled, the circular hole of the base member 10 in the cylindrical portion 72A. The amount of press-fitting into 14 can be made uniform.
(第3実施例)
 以下、本発明の第3実施例に係る流量制御弁について、図7を参照して説明する。
(Third embodiment)
Hereinafter, a flow rate control valve according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
 図7は、本発明の第3実施例に係る流量制御弁の弁体およびその近傍の拡大断面図である。図7に示す第3実施例に係る流量制御弁3において、上記流量制御弁1と同一の構成については同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。 FIG. 7 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the valve body of the flow control valve according to the third embodiment of the present invention and the vicinity thereof. In the flow rate control valve 3 according to the third embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the same components as those of the flow rate control valve 1 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.
 流量制御弁3は、流量制御弁1のホルダー70と構成の異なるホルダー70Bを有する。 The flow control valve 3 has a holder 70B having a different structure from the holder 70 of the flow control valve 1.
 ホルダー70Bは、例えば、ステンレス材で構成されている。ホルダー70Bは、略円板状のホルダー本体71Bと、位置決め用の突部としての円筒部72Bと、を一体的に有している。円筒部72Bは、ホルダー本体71Bの下面71aから下方に向けて突出している。 The holder 70B is made of, for example, a stainless material. The holder 70B integrally has a substantially disk-shaped holder body 71B and a cylindrical portion 72B as a positioning projection. The cylindrical portion 72B projects downward from the lower surface 71a of the holder body 71B.
 ホルダー本体71Bは、嵌合部71eと、当接部71fと、を有している。嵌合部71eは、円柱状に形成されており、外径が外筒部材20の内径と同一である。嵌合部71eは、外筒部材20の上端20bの内側に嵌合されている。当接部71fは、嵌合部71eの外周面の上端に径方向外方に突出するように設けられた環状の突部である。当接部71fは、外径がキャン40の内径と同一に形成されている。当接部71fは、外筒部材20の上端20bの端面20cに当接されている。外筒部材20の上端20bはホルダー本体71Bにより塞がれている。ホルダー70Bとガイドブッシュ61とは、支持部材69Bを構成する。支持部材69Bは、キャン40および外筒部材20の内側に配置されている。キャン40の下端40aは、外筒部材20の上端20bに溶接されている。 The holder body 71B has a fitting portion 71e and a contact portion 71f. The fitting portion 71e is formed in a cylindrical shape and has an outer diameter equal to the inner diameter of the outer tubular member 20. The fitting portion 71e is fitted inside the upper end 20b of the outer tubular member 20. The contact portion 71f is an annular protrusion provided on the upper end of the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 71e so as to project radially outward. The outer diameter of the contact portion 71f is the same as the inner diameter of the can 40. The contact portion 71f is in contact with the end surface 20c of the upper end 20b of the outer tubular member 20. The upper end 20b of the outer cylinder member 20 is closed by the holder body 71B. The holder 70B and the guide bush 61 form a support member 69B. The support member 69B is arranged inside the can 40 and the outer cylinder member 20. The lower end 40a of the can 40 is welded to the upper end 20b of the outer tubular member 20.
 円筒部72Bは、基体部材10の円形孔14に圧入されている。そして、ホルダー本体71Bの当接部71fが外筒部材20の上端20bの端面20cに当接されている。そのため、複数の流量制御弁3を組み立てた際に、円筒部72Bにおける基体部材10の円形孔14への圧入量を均一にすることができる。 The cylindrical portion 72B is press-fitted into the circular hole 14 of the base member 10. The contact portion 71f of the holder body 71B is in contact with the end surface 20c of the upper end 20b of the outer tubular member 20. Therefore, when the plurality of flow rate control valves 3 are assembled, the amount of press-fitting of the base member 10 into the circular hole 14 in the cylindrical portion 72B can be made uniform.
 また、ホルダー本体71Bの嵌合部71eは、外筒部材20の上端20bの内側に嵌合されている。そして、嵌合部71eの外径が外筒部材20の内径と同一であることから、嵌合部71eの外周面が、外筒部材20の内周面に接するように形成されている。これにより、円筒部72Bを基体部材10の円形孔14に圧入する際に、嵌合部71eの外周面が外筒部材20の内周面に接して、上下方向(圧入方向)への移動を案内する。そのため、円筒部72Bが円形孔14に傾いて圧入されてしまうことを抑制できる。 The fitting portion 71e of the holder body 71B is fitted inside the upper end 20b of the outer tubular member 20. Since the outer diameter of the fitting portion 71e is the same as the inner diameter of the outer tubular member 20, the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 71e is formed so as to contact the inner circumferential surface of the outer tubular member 20. With this, when the cylindrical portion 72B is press-fitted into the circular hole 14 of the base member 10, the outer peripheral surface of the fitting portion 71e contacts the inner peripheral surface of the outer tubular member 20 to move in the vertical direction (press-fitting direction). invite. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cylindrical portion 72B from being inclined and press-fitted into the circular hole 14.
