Description

  The present invention relates to a valve device for controlling opening and closing of a fluid flow path.

  In order to supply and stop the fluid flowing through the fluid flow path specified by piping, etc., and to control the flow rate of the fluid flowing through this fluid flow path, those using a butterfly valve as a valve body are widely used. (See, for example, Patent Document 1). This type of valve includes a valve housing, and a butterfly valve is mounted on the valve housing so as to be freely opened and closed. The butterfly valve includes a valve shaft rotatably supported by a valve housing, and a circular disk attached to the valve shaft. The circular valve plate is parallel to the fluid flow path at the fully open angle position. The fluid passage is fully opened, and at the fully closed angle position, the circular valve plate is positioned perpendicular to the fluid passage to fully close the fluid passage. In addition, like a valve device using such a butterfly valve, a device using a ball valve as a valve body has been widely put into practical use.
