Description

本発明は、モータとこのモータの回転により作動して流体の流量を制御する弁とを備える流量制御弁に関する。   The present invention relates to a flow rate control valve including a motor and a valve that operates by rotation of the motor to control the flow rate of fluid.

従来、自動車や自動二輪等の車両において、例えば、電子制御装置により燃料噴射と点火をコントロールするインジェクションを備えるエンジンの場合に、スロットルバルブの横に、電子制御されるもう一つのスロットルであるISCV(アイドル・スピード・コントロール・バルブ)が設けられ、エアコンが作動したときのアイドルアップの制御を行ったり、アイドリングを安定させるような制御を行ったりしている。すなわち、ISCVは、例えば、自動車がスロットルを絞ってアイドリング状態になっている際に、エンジンへの吸気量を制御して、エンジンをアイドリング時の目標回転数になるように制御している。   Conventionally, in a vehicle such as an automobile or a motorcycle, for example, in the case of an engine equipped with an injection that controls fuel injection and ignition by an electronic control unit, an ISCV (another throttle that is electronically controlled beside the throttle valve). (Idle speed control valve) is provided to control the idle up when the air conditioner is activated or to control the idling to be stable. That is, the ISCV controls, for example, the amount of intake air to the engine when the automobile is idling with the throttle being throttled, so that the engine reaches the target rotational speed during idling.

ISCVは、例えば、弁を動作させるアクチュエータとしてのステッピングモータと、このステッピングモータの回転するシャフトと、このシャフトとの間にねじ機構を有し、シャフトの軸方向に移動する弁体とを備えている。シャフトの先端部側は、雄ねじとされており、この雄ねじの部分に弁体に固定されたナット部が螺合しており、シャフトの正転及び反転に基いて、弁体がシャフトの軸方向に移動することによって、アイドリング時のエンジンへの吸気の流量が制御される。   The ISCV includes, for example, a stepping motor as an actuator that operates a valve, a shaft that rotates the stepping motor, and a valve body that has a screw mechanism between the shaft and moves in the axial direction of the shaft. Yes. The front end of the shaft is a male screw, and a nut fixed to the valve body is screwed into the male screw. Based on the forward and reverse rotation of the shaft, the valve body is in the axial direction of the shaft. By moving to, the flow rate of intake air to the engine during idling is controlled.

このようなISCVでは、制御流量が小さく、通常待機位置(車両のアイドル状態)では、より小さい流量が要求されるため、弁(ISCV)の開口面積を小さくする必要がる。   In such an ISCV, the control flow rate is small, and a smaller flow rate is required in the normal standby position (vehicle idle state). Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the opening area of the valve (ISCV).

また、ISCVでは、上述のように制御流量が小さいので、少しのガタつきがあっても流量に与える影響が大きなものになってしまう。そのため、ガタつきを抑えるような構造(部材)が必要とされる。   Further, in the ISCV, since the control flow rate is small as described above, even if there is a slight backlash, the influence on the flow rate becomes large. Therefore, a structure (member) that suppresses rattling is required.

また、ISCVは、例えば、自動車や自動二輪等の車両に設置されることから、固定された装置に設置される部品に比べ、熱・振動等の環境条件が厳しく、耐久性を必要とする。したがって、ISCVにおいて、シャフトや回転体を回転自在に支持する軸受も耐久性を有するものを用いる必要がある。   Moreover, since ISCV is installed in vehicles, such as a motor vehicle and a motorcycle, for example, environmental conditions, such as a heat | fever and a vibration, are severe compared with the components installed in the fixed apparatus, and durability is required. Therefore, in the ISCV, it is necessary to use a durable bearing that supports the shaft and the rotating body in a rotatable manner.

ここで、上述のように、自動車の振動とガタつきによる制御流量への影響を考慮した場合に、例えば、弁体やモータの回転体をバネ等によりそれぞれ押し付けることによってガタつきを防止することが考えられる。また、上述のように制御流量が小さいことから、基本的に弁座に対して弁体を近づけた状態で弁体の移動を制御する必要がある。例えば、円錐形の弁体を用いた流量制御弁の場合に、流量制御弁のボデーの弁座部分に向けて弁体を伸ばした状態を維持して、弁の開口面積を小さくし、これにより制御流量を小さくする必要がある。   Here, as described above, when the influence on the control flow rate due to the vibration and rattling of the automobile is taken into account, for example, rattling can be prevented by pressing the rotating body of the valve body or the motor with a spring or the like. Conceivable. In addition, since the control flow rate is small as described above, it is basically necessary to control the movement of the valve body in a state where the valve body is close to the valve seat. For example, in the case of a flow control valve using a conical valve body, the state in which the valve body is extended toward the valve seat portion of the body of the flow control valve is maintained, thereby reducing the opening area of the valve. It is necessary to reduce the control flow rate.

また、モータにおける一般的な軸受の構造としては、回転体側に凸部、例えば、回転体から突出するシャフトの端部等を設け、この凸部をボデー(本体)側に設けた凹状の軸受部材で回転自在に支持するのが一般的である。   Further, as a general bearing structure in a motor, a convex bearing is provided on the rotating body side, for example, an end of a shaft protruding from the rotating body, and the concave bearing member is provided on the body (main body) side. In general, it is supported rotatably.

流量制御弁といては、例えば、シャフトにマグネットを固定し、シャフトの後端側と前部とに環状のドライベアリング(滑り軸受)が配置されているものが提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。この流量制御弁では、シャフトは、ドライベアリングの孔に挿入された状態であり、これらドライベアリングは、シャフトの軸方向移動を規制していない。   As a flow control valve, for example, a valve in which a magnet is fixed to a shaft and annular dry bearings (sliding bearings) are arranged on the rear end side and the front portion of the shaft has been proposed (for example, Patent Documents). 1). In this flow control valve, the shaft is inserted in the hole of the dry bearing, and these dry bearings do not restrict the axial movement of the shaft.

また、流量制御弁として、マグネットが固定された樹脂製の回転体がボールベアリングにより支持される構造であり、環状のボールベアリングの内側に回転体が配置され、ボールベアリングの内輪に回転体が固定され、回転体が、ボールベアリングの外輪に対して内輪と一体に回転する内燃機関用モータ式流量制御弁が提案されている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。この流量制御弁では、シャフトに、その外周に雄ねじが形成され、回転体に設けられた雌ねじに螺合しており、回転体の回転に対応してシャフトが弁体と一体に軸方向に移動するようになっている。   Also, as a flow control valve, a resin rotating body with a magnet fixed is supported by a ball bearing. The rotating body is placed inside an annular ball bearing, and the rotating body is fixed to the inner ring of the ball bearing. In addition, a motor-type flow control valve for an internal combustion engine in which a rotating body rotates integrally with an inner ring with respect to an outer ring of a ball bearing has been proposed (for example, see Patent Document 2). In this flow control valve, a male screw is formed on the outer periphery of the shaft and screwed into a female screw provided on the rotating body, and the shaft moves in the axial direction integrally with the valve body corresponding to the rotation of the rotating body. It is supposed to be.

ところで、上述のような流量制御弁にガタつき防止のためにバネ等の部材を使う場合に、弁体のガタつき防止と、回転体(ロータ)のガタつき防止のために、バネ等の部材を二つ使用しなければならない。また、バネで回転する回転体のガタつきを防止する場合に構造が複雑になる虞がある。これらのことからガタつき防止のためのコストが高くなったり、組み付け作業が煩雑になったりする虞がある。   By the way, when a member such as a spring is used for the flow control valve as described above to prevent rattling, a member such as a spring is used to prevent rattling of the valve body and rattling of the rotating body (rotor). Must be used. In addition, the structure may be complicated when the rotating body rotating by the spring is prevented from rattling. For these reasons, there is a risk that the cost for preventing rattling increases, and the assembly work becomes complicated.

また、上述のように、ISCVの場合に、小さな流量を制御するので、開口面積を小さくするため、ボデーの弁座部分に対して弁体側を伸ばして近づけた状態で主な制御が行われる。この際に自動車の振動により上述のようなガタつきがあると伸ばされた弁体側が弁座側に接触する。この場合に、弁座と弁体の接触による摩耗が発生し、開口面積が大きくなり、制御流量が大きくなってしまう虞があった。   Further, as described above, in the case of ISCV, since a small flow rate is controlled, in order to reduce the opening area, main control is performed in a state where the valve body side is extended and brought close to the valve seat portion of the body. At this time, if there is such rattling as described above due to the vibration of the automobile, the extended valve element side contacts the valve seat side. In this case, wear due to contact between the valve seat and the valve body occurs, the opening area increases, and the control flow rate may increase.

また、上述のように回転体の軸受構造として、回転体に凸部(突出する軸)を設け、ボデー側に凹状の軸受を設けると、凸部分だけ流量制御弁が長くなり、スペース効率が悪くなる。なお、特許文献1、2に記載される流量制御弁では、これらの問題に対処できない。   Further, as described above, if the rotating body is provided with a convex portion (projecting shaft) and a concave bearing is provided on the body side, the flow control valve becomes longer only at the convex portion, resulting in poor space efficiency. Become. Note that the flow control valves described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 cannot cope with these problems.

本発明は、前記事情に鑑みて為されたもので、流量制御弁のガタつき防止の構造を簡略し、少ない制御流量を維持でき、さらに小型化を図ることができる流量制御弁を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a flow control valve that can simplify the structure of preventing the play of the flow control valve, can maintain a small control flow rate, and can be further downsized. With the goal.

前記目的を達成するために、請求項1に記載の流量制御弁は、回転自在な回動シャフトと、
前記回動シャフトの周囲に設けられ、前記回動シャフトと一体に電磁力により回転する回転体と、
前記回動シャフトの一端部側に係合して設けられ、当該回動シャフトの回転に基いて当該回動シャフトの軸方向に沿って移動することにより、流体が通過する開口部を開閉する弁体と、
前記回動シャフトの他端部側に設けられ、前記回動シャフトを回転自在に支持するとともに、前記回動シャフトの他端部側に向う移動を規制する軸支持部材と、
前記回転シャフトの一端部と他端部との間に設けられ、前記回転体を介して回動シャフトを回転自在に支持する軸受部材と、
前記弁体を前記回動シャフトの軸方向に沿って当該回動シャフトの他端部側に付勢するばねとを備えることを特徴とする。
In order to achieve the object, the flow control valve according to claim 1 includes a rotatable rotating shaft;
A rotating body provided around the rotating shaft, and rotated by electromagnetic force integrally with the rotating shaft;
A valve that engages with one end of the rotating shaft and opens and closes an opening through which fluid passes by moving along the axial direction of the rotating shaft based on the rotation of the rotating shaft. Body,
A shaft support member provided on the other end side of the rotating shaft, rotatably supporting the rotating shaft, and restricting movement toward the other end side of the rotating shaft;
A bearing member provided between one end and the other end of the rotating shaft, and rotatably supporting the rotating shaft via the rotating body;
And a spring that biases the valve body toward the other end of the rotating shaft along the axial direction of the rotating shaft.

請求項1に記載の本発明においては、回動シャフトの一端側に係合している弁体が、ばねにより、回動シャフトの他端側に付勢されている。これにより、弁体が係合する回動シャフトを、その他端部側に押圧した状態になる。すなわち、回動シャフトに軸方向に沿って他端部側に向うばねの付勢力が弁体を介して作用し、この回動シャフトの他端部が軸支持部材に押し付けられる。   In the first aspect of the present invention, the valve element engaged with one end side of the rotating shaft is biased toward the other end side of the rotating shaft by a spring. Thereby, it will be in the state which pressed the rotation shaft which a valve body engages to the other edge part side. That is, the urging force of the spring acting toward the other end along the axial direction acts on the rotating shaft via the valve body, and the other end of the rotating shaft is pressed against the shaft support member.

これにより、弁体側と回動シャフト(回転体)側との二箇所にばねを設けた場合と同様に、1つのばねで弁体のガタつきを抑制するだけではなく、モータ側の回動シャフトおよび回転体のガタつきも抑制できる。これにより、部品点数が減少するとともに、組み付けに手間がかかるばねを1つにできることから、コストの低減と、流体制御弁の組み立て時の作業性の向上を図ることができる。   As a result, in the same manner as when springs are provided at two locations on the valve body side and the rotating shaft (rotating body) side, the backlash of the valve body is not only suppressed by one spring, but the rotating shaft on the motor side is also provided. Further, rattling of the rotating body can be suppressed. As a result, the number of parts can be reduced and the number of springs required for assembly can be reduced to one, so that the cost can be reduced and the workability when assembling the fluid control valve can be improved.

また、ばねの力により弁体のガタつきが抑制されるとともに、弁体がばねの付勢力により、例えばボデーに形成される弁座側から離れる方向に押されているので、弁座と弁体が近接した状態での弁体の弁座への振動等による接触が抑制される。これにより弁体との摩擦により流体が通過する開口部が大きくなってしまうのを抑制できる。   Further, the backlash of the valve body is suppressed by the force of the spring, and the valve body is pushed away from the valve seat side formed on the body, for example, by the biasing force of the spring. The contact by the vibration etc. to the valve seat of the valve body in the state which adjoined is suppressed. Thereby, it can suppress that the opening part which a fluid passes will become large by friction with a valve body.

請求項2に記載の流体制御弁は、請求項1に記載の発明において、
前記弁体の軸心部に設けられる雌ねじ部と、前記回動シャフトの前記弁体側に前記雌ねじ部に螺合するように設けられる雄ねじ部とから、前記回動シャフトの回転により前記弁体を前記開口部の開閉方向に移動するねじ機構が設けられ、
前記回動シャフトの雄ねじ部を除く部分の径が、前記雄ねじ部の径より細くされていることを特徴とする。
The fluid control valve according to claim 2 is the invention according to claim 1,
The valve body is rotated by rotation of the rotary shaft from a female screw part provided at an axial center part of the valve body and a male screw part provided on the valve body side of the rotary shaft so as to be screwed into the female screw part. A screw mechanism that moves in the opening and closing direction of the opening is provided,
The diameter of the part except the external thread part of the said rotation shaft is made thinner than the diameter of the said external thread part.

請求項2に記載の発明においては、回動シャフトが回転した場合に、ねじ機構により弁体を移動させることによって開口部の開閉を行う構成において、回動シャフトの雄ねじ部を除く部分の径を雄ねじ部の径より小さくすることによって、弁体の開閉駆動に必要な力を確保しつつ、回動シャフトの軽量化を図ることができる。   In the invention according to claim 2, in the configuration in which the opening is opened and closed by moving the valve body by a screw mechanism when the rotating shaft rotates, the diameter of the portion excluding the male screw portion of the rotating shaft is set. By making it smaller than the diameter of the male screw portion, it is possible to reduce the weight of the rotating shaft while ensuring the force necessary for opening and closing the valve body.

雄ねじ部を含む回動シャフト全体の径を大きくすることによって、回動シャフトから弁体に作用する力を高めることができるが、回動シャフトが重くなる。これにより、例えば、回動シャフトの慣性が大きくなることによって、弁体の開閉移動における応答性能が悪化する虞がある。また、回動シャフトために使用される材料が多くなりコストが高くなる可能性がある。
それに対して雄ねじ部だけ径を大きくし、他の部分の径を小さくすることにより、回動シャフト全体の重量の低減を図ることによって、上述の応答性の向上およびコストの低減を量ることができる。
By increasing the diameter of the entire rotation shaft including the male screw portion, the force acting on the valve body from the rotation shaft can be increased, but the rotation shaft becomes heavy. Thereby, for example, there is a possibility that the response performance in the opening and closing movement of the valve body may be deteriorated due to an increase in inertia of the rotating shaft. Also, more material may be used for the rotating shaft, which may increase costs.
On the other hand, by increasing the diameter of only the male screw part and reducing the diameter of other parts, the weight of the entire rotating shaft can be reduced, thereby improving the above-mentioned response and reducing the cost. it can.

請求項3に記載に記載の流量制御弁は、請求項1または請求項2に記載の発明において、前記回転体の少なくも前記回動シャフトの他端部側が中空に形成され、前記回転体の中空内で前記軸支持部材が前記回動シャフトの一端部を支持していることを特徴する。   According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the flow rate control valve according to the first or second aspect, at least the other end portion of the rotating shaft of the rotating body is formed hollow, The shaft support member supports one end of the rotating shaft in a hollow.

請求項3に記載の発明においては、例えば、磁石や電磁石等を備えることによって、ステータに対して電磁力により回転するロータである回転体が中空に形成されている。これにより、回転体の軽量化による慣性の低減と材料の削減によるコストダウンを図ることができる。
また、回転体の中空部分で回動シャフトの一端部が軸支持部材により支持された構造になるので、回動シャフトを回転体の一端部側から突出させる必要がなく、軸等の凸部を凹状の軸受等の支持部材で支持する形状になっていても、凸部を中空部内に配置することによって、軸方向の長さを短くすることが可能になり、流量制御弁のスペース効率の向上と小型化を図ることができる。
In the invention described in claim 3, for example, by providing a magnet, an electromagnet, or the like, a rotating body that is a rotor that rotates by electromagnetic force with respect to the stator is formed hollow. Thereby, the reduction of the inertia by weight reduction of a rotary body and the cost reduction by the reduction of material can be aimed at.
In addition, since one end portion of the rotating shaft is supported by the shaft support member in the hollow portion of the rotating body, it is not necessary to project the rotating shaft from the one end portion side of the rotating body. Even if the shape is supported by a support member such as a concave bearing, the axial length can be shortened by arranging the convex part in the hollow part, improving the space efficiency of the flow control valve. And downsizing can be achieved.

請求項4に記載の流量制御弁は、請求項1から請求項3のいずれか1項に記載の発明において、
前記弁体の周囲を覆い、かつ、内周面の断面が非円形の筒状のボデーを備え、
前記弁体には、前記ボデー内周面の周方向および軸方向に沿って延在する壁部が設けられ、
前記壁部には、前記ボデー内周面に向かって突出して、前記ボディ内周面に当接する複数の凸部が前記ボデーの軸方向に沿うとともに互いに前記ボデーの周方向に間隔をあけて設けられていることを特徴とする。
The flow control valve according to claim 4 is the invention according to any one of claims 1 to 3,
Covering the periphery of the valve body, and provided with a cylindrical body with a non-circular inner cross-section,
The valve body is provided with a wall portion extending along a circumferential direction and an axial direction of the inner peripheral surface of the body,
The wall is provided with a plurality of protrusions protruding toward the inner peripheral surface of the body and contacting the inner peripheral surface of the body along the axial direction of the body and spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the body. It is characterized by being.

請求項4に記載の発明においては、壁部が断面非円形の筒状のボデーの内周面に沿って配置され、かつ、壁部からボデー内面に突出して当接する複数の凸部が、ボデーの軸方向に沿って、ボデーの周方向に互いに間隔をあけて設けられている。これらの凸部が断面非円形のボデーの内周面に当接しているため、この壁部の凸部とボデーの内周面の接触により、ボデーの軸方向に対して弁体の軸方向が傾くのが抑制される。さらに、ボデ-周方向に間隔をあけて複数凸部が断面非円形のボデー内周面に当接することによって、壁部とその凸部とで弁体の回転が規制される。例えば、上述のようにねじ機構で弁体が開閉移動する場合に、弁体側の回転を規制することにより、稼働シャフトの回転にしたがって弁体を回動シャフトの軸方向に移動させることができる。この際に、壁部の凸部がボデー内周面に案内されるとともに、弁体の傾きを抑制する。この場合に、上述のように弁体のガタつきが抑制されることと合わせて、弁体と弁座が近接した状態で、弁体が傾くことが抑制されることにより、弁座側に弁体が触るのを抑制することができる。これにより、弁座、弁体の摩耗による開口部面積の拡大を防止できる。
また、壁部のうちの凸部だけをボデー内周面に接触させるようにすることで、ボデー内周面と壁部との褶動抵抗を低減し、弁体を円滑に軸方向に沿って移動することができる。
In the invention according to claim 4, the wall portion is disposed along the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical body having a non-circular cross section, and the plurality of convex portions protruding from the wall portion to the inner surface of the body are in contact with the body. Are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the body. Since these convex portions are in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the body having a non-circular cross-section, the axial direction of the valve body is changed with respect to the axial direction of the body by the contact between the convex portions of the wall portion and the inner peripheral surface of the body. Tilt is suppressed. Furthermore, rotation of the valve body is restricted by the wall portion and the convex portion by the plurality of convex portions coming into contact with the inner circumferential surface of the body having a non-circular cross section at intervals in the body-circumferential direction. For example, when the valve body is opened and closed by the screw mechanism as described above, the valve body can be moved in the axial direction of the rotating shaft according to the rotation of the operating shaft by restricting the rotation of the valve body side. At this time, the convex portion of the wall portion is guided to the inner peripheral surface of the body, and the inclination of the valve body is suppressed. In this case, in addition to suppressing the backlash of the valve body as described above, it is possible to prevent the valve body from tilting in the state where the valve body and the valve seat are close to each other. It can suppress that a body touches. Thereby, the expansion of the opening part area by abrasion of a valve seat and a valve body can be prevented.
In addition, by allowing only the convex portion of the wall portion to contact the inner peripheral surface of the body, the peristaltic resistance between the inner peripheral surface of the body and the wall portion is reduced, and the valve body is smoothly moved along the axial direction. Can move.

本発明によれば、少ない流量の制御を行うとともに、モータの回転体と一体に回転する回動シャフトにより軸方向に移動して弁の開閉を行う弁体のガタつきを低コストで防止することができる。また、これにより弁座と弁体の摩耗による弁の開口部面積の拡大を防止することができる。   According to the present invention, while controlling a small flow rate, it is possible to prevent rattling of the valve body that moves in the axial direction and opens and closes the valve by a rotating shaft that rotates integrally with the rotating body of the motor at low cost. Can do. In addition, this can prevent the opening area of the valve from expanding due to wear of the valve seat and the valve body.

As shown in FIG. 1, the flow control valve of this embodiment includes a resin-made motor-side body 1 and a valve-side body 2, and a motor (stepping motor) 11 is provided on the motor-side body 1 side. A fluid (air) valve 21 is provided on the side body 2 side.

前記モータ側ボデー1は、本体12が有蓋有底の円筒状に形成され、その内周面側にモータのステータとして、本体12の内周面に沿う環状の二つのコイル3が本体12の軸方向に沿って前後に並んで設けられている。コイル3はコイルボビン5に巻かれた状態で、コイル支持部材4に支持されている。
円環状のコイル3の内側には、円筒状のマグネット7を外周に固定した状態に備えている回転体6が設けられている。この回転体6がステータに対して回転するロータになっており、ステータとロータからモータが構成され、マグネット7を有する回転体6が電磁力により回転することになる。
The motor-side body 1 has a main body 12 formed in a cylindrical shape with a lid and a bottom, and an inner peripheral surface of the motor-side body 1 serves as a motor stator. Two annular coils 3 along the inner peripheral surface of the main body 12 It is provided side by side along the direction. The coil 3 is supported by the coil support member 4 while being wound around the coil bobbin 5.
Inside the annular coil 3, a rotating body 6 provided with a cylindrical magnet 7 fixed to the outer periphery is provided. The rotating body 6 is a rotor that rotates with respect to the stator. A motor is constituted by the stator and the rotor, and the rotating body 6 having the magnet 7 is rotated by electromagnetic force.

また、回転体6は、有蓋円筒状に形成され、内部が中空とされている。また、回転体6の蓋61部分には、ロータの回転軸になる回動シャフト8が貫通するとともに、回動シャフト8が固定されている。また、回転体6の蓋61の回動シャフト8が貫通する部分には、回転体6本体の円筒部分より径の小さい円筒状の突出部62が回転体6の本体と同軸になるように形成されている。また、回転体6は、蓋61部分が外周側に鍔状に突出し、円筒状のマグネット7の一端部側を位置決めするようになっている。なお、蓋61の鍔状部分の外周面と、マグネット7の外周面は、略同じ外径とされるとともに、同軸上に配置されるようになっている。   The rotating body 6 is formed in a covered cylindrical shape and is hollow inside. A rotating shaft 8 that serves as a rotation axis of the rotor passes through the lid 61 portion of the rotating body 6 and the rotating shaft 8 is fixed. Further, a cylindrical protrusion 62 having a diameter smaller than that of the cylindrical portion of the main body of the rotating body 6 is formed at the portion of the lid 61 of the rotating body 6 through which the rotating shaft 8 passes so as to be coaxial with the main body of the rotating body 6. Has been. Further, the rotating body 6 has a lid 61 portion that protrudes in a bowl shape on the outer peripheral side, and positions one end of the cylindrical magnet 7. The outer peripheral surface of the bowl-shaped portion of the lid 61 and the outer peripheral surface of the magnet 7 have substantially the same outer diameter, and are arranged coaxially.

回動シャフト8は丸棒状の部材であり、回転体6の一端側の突出部62の先端部を略中央として、一端部側がモータ側ボデー1より弁側ボデー2内に延出している。また、回動シャフト8の他端部側は、回転体6の内側に配置されている。この実施形態では、回転体6の開放された他端側(蓋の無い側)と略同じ位置(軸方向に沿った位置)に、回動シャフト8の他端が配置されている。   The rotating shaft 8 is a round bar-like member, with one end portion extending from the motor-side body 1 into the valve-side body 2 with the distal end portion of the protruding portion 62 on one end side of the rotating body 6 being substantially the center. Further, the other end portion side of the rotating shaft 8 is disposed inside the rotating body 6. In this embodiment, the other end of the rotating shaft 8 is arranged at substantially the same position (position along the axial direction) as the other end side (side without the lid) of the rotating body 6 opened.

また、回動シャフト8の一端部側は、その外周面にねじが形成され、ボルト状の雄ねじ部81とされている。なお、ここでは、雄ねじ部81以外の部分をシャフト部82とする。
回動シャフト8は、雄ねじ部81の径が、シャフト部82の径より大きくなっており、雄ねじ部81が回動シャフト8の他の部分に対して拡径された形状になっている。この雄ねじ部81には、後述のように弁体9の雌ねじ部93が螺合するようになっている。
Further, a screw is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the one end portion side of the rotating shaft 8 to form a bolt-shaped male screw portion 81. Here, a portion other than the male screw portion 81 is referred to as a shaft portion 82.
The rotating shaft 8 has a shape in which the diameter of the male screw portion 81 is larger than the diameter of the shaft portion 82, and the male screw portion 81 is expanded in diameter relative to other portions of the rotating shaft 8. As will be described later, the female thread portion 93 of the valve body 9 is screwed into the male thread portion 81.

また、回動シャフト8は、その中央部の回転体6の突出部62に覆われた部分が、ラジアル軸受で、かつ、滑り軸受であるボデー1の軸受部材13に、突出部62を介して回転自在に支持されている。なお、図1において、軸受部材13は、モータ側ボデー1と一体に図示されているが、ボデー1と別体になっていてもよい。   Further, the rotation shaft 8 has a central portion covered by the protruding portion 62 of the rotating body 6 with a radial bearing and a bearing member 13 of the body 1 that is a sliding bearing via the protruding portion 62. It is supported rotatably. In FIG. 1, the bearing member 13 is illustrated integrally with the motor-side body 1, but may be separate from the body 1.

また、回動シャフト8の他端部は、上述のように回転体の内側に配置されている状態で、軸支持部材14により回転自在に支持されている。軸支持部材14は、滑り軸受として機能するとともにラジアル軸受およびスラスト軸受として機能している。すなわち、回動シャフト8が軸支持部材14により回転中心を規定されているとともに、回動シャフト8の軸方向に沿って、回動シャフト8の一端部から他端部に向う方向の移動が規制されている。なお、その反対方向への移動は、後述のように圧縮コイルばね10により規制されている。   Further, the other end portion of the rotating shaft 8 is rotatably supported by the shaft support member 14 in a state where it is disposed inside the rotating body as described above. The shaft support member 14 functions as a sliding bearing and also functions as a radial bearing and a thrust bearing. That is, the rotation shaft 8 has its rotation center defined by the shaft support member 14, and movement in the direction from one end portion of the rotation shaft 8 toward the other end portion is restricted along the axial direction of the rotation shaft 8. Has been. The movement in the opposite direction is restricted by the compression coil spring 10 as will be described later.

弁体9は、弁本体として機能する先端部の外周面が円錐台状に形成され、有蓋筒状の弁側ボデー2の蓋23に形成された貫通孔22に挿入可能にされている。なお、貫通孔22の内周面に弁体9の外周面が当接することによって弁21が閉状態になり、前記貫通孔部分が弁21の弁座として機能する。この弁座としての貫通孔22の内周面と、弁体9の先端部分の外周面とが近接して配置されることによって、流体を少ない流量で制御するようになっている。   The valve body 9 has an outer peripheral surface of a tip portion that functions as a valve body formed in a truncated cone shape, and can be inserted into a through hole 22 formed in the lid 23 of the valve-side body 2 having a lid. The valve 21 is closed when the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 9 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 22, and the through hole portion functions as a valve seat of the valve 21. By arranging the inner peripheral surface of the through-hole 22 as the valve seat and the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the valve body 9 in close proximity, the fluid is controlled with a small flow rate.

また、弁側ボデー2には、その筒状部分(断面略楕円(断面非円形)の筒状)に流体が通る貫通孔24が形成されている。流量制御弁で流量が制御される流体としての空気は、弁側ボデー2の蓋23側の貫通孔22と、弁側ボデー2本体の筒状部分の貫通孔24との間を流れるようになっている。例えば、蓋23側の貫通孔22が吐出口とされ、弁側ボデー2の筒状の本体の貫通孔24が吸入口とされている。   Further, the valve body 2 is formed with a through-hole 24 through which a fluid passes through a cylindrical portion (a cylindrical shape having a substantially oval cross section (non-circular cross section)). Air as a fluid whose flow rate is controlled by the flow rate control valve flows between the through hole 22 on the lid 23 side of the valve side body 2 and the through hole 24 of the cylindrical portion of the valve side body 2 body. ing. For example, the through hole 22 on the lid 23 side is the discharge port, and the through hole 24 of the cylindrical main body of the valve side body 2 is the suction port.

弁体9は、図1および図2に示すように、その本体の先端部側が上述のように円錐台状に形成されるとともに、先端部を除く部分が内側が雌ねじ部93とされた円筒状に形成されている。雌ねじ部93は、回動シャフト8の雄ねじ部81に螺合するねじ孔であり、これら雌ねじ部93と雄ねじ部81とが、回動シャフト8が軸周りに回転するのに合わせて、弁体9を回動シャフト8の軸方向に沿って移動させるねじ機構を構成している。なお、移動方向は、回転方向の違いによって反対になるようになっており、例えば、時計回りを正回転とした場合に正回転方向に回動シャフト8が回ることによって、例えば、弁体9が、回動シャフト8の軸方向に沿ってボデー1から離れる方向に移動し、回動シャフト8が反時計回りの逆回転方向に回転した場合に、弁体9が回動シャフト8の軸方向に沿ってボデー1に近くづく方向に移動するようになっている。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the valve body 9 is formed in a cylindrical shape in which the distal end side of the main body is formed in a truncated cone shape as described above, and the portion excluding the distal end portion is an internal threaded portion 93 inside. Is formed. The female threaded portion 93 is a screw hole that is screwed into the male threaded portion 81 of the rotating shaft 8, and the female threaded portion 93 and the male threaded portion 81 are adapted to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 8. The screw mechanism which moves 9 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 8 is comprised. Note that the movement direction is opposite due to the difference in the rotation direction. For example, when the clockwise rotation is set to the normal rotation, the rotation shaft 8 rotates in the normal rotation direction, for example, the valve element 9 is When the rotary shaft 8 moves in the direction away from the body 1 along the axial direction of the rotary shaft 8 and rotates in the counterclockwise counter-rotating direction, the valve element 9 moves in the axial direction of the rotary shaft 8. It moves in the direction which approaches body 1 along.

また、弁体9は、弁側ボデー2の内部に配置されている、弁側ボデー2は、有蓋筒状に形成されている。この弁側ボデー2は、円筒状ではなく、断面略楕円状の筒状に形成されている。   Moreover, the valve body 9 is arrange | positioned inside the valve side body 2, and the valve side body 2 is formed in the covered cylinder shape. The valve-side body 2 is not formed in a cylindrical shape but is formed in a cylindrical shape having a substantially elliptical cross section.

弁体9は、弁側ボデー2の断面の略楕円に対応した形状の支持板92が弁体の後部の左右に延出して設けられ、この支持板92の左右の概略円弧状の端部にそれぞれ前記楕円の内周面に沿って配置される概略円弧板状の壁部91が配置されている。壁部91は、ボデー2の断面の略楕円に沿っているので、一対の壁部91を備える弁体9がボデー2の内周面面に沿って回転することがなく、弁体9の回転を抑制している。なお、後述のように壁部の外面は、ボデー2の内周面に直接当接しておらず、後述のように壁部の凸部95,96、97がボデー2の内周面に当接している。また、概略円弧板状の壁部91の上述の雌ねじ部93の軸方向に沿った長さは、弁体9の雌ねじ部93の軸方向に沿った長さの1/2以上で2/3以下とされている。   The valve body 9 is provided with a support plate 92 having a shape corresponding to a substantially ellipse in the cross section of the valve body 2 extending to the left and right of the rear portion of the valve body. A substantially arcuate plate-like wall portion 91 is disposed along each inner circumferential surface of the ellipse. Since the wall portion 91 is substantially along the ellipse of the cross section of the body 2, the valve body 9 including the pair of wall portions 91 does not rotate along the inner peripheral surface of the body 2. Is suppressed. As will be described later, the outer surface of the wall portion does not directly contact the inner peripheral surface of the body 2, and the convex portions 95, 96, and 97 of the wall portion contact the inner peripheral surface of the body 2 as described later. ing. The length of the substantially arcuate plate-like wall portion 91 along the axial direction of the female threaded portion 93 is ½ or more of the length along the axial direction of the female threaded portion 93 of the valve body 9 and is 2/3. It is as follows.

壁部91は、上述のことから軸方向に沿って長いものになっており、その外面側の概略円弧方向(楕円の周方向)の中央部と、一方の側縁側と、他方の側縁側に弁体9の軸方向に沿って前後に延材する長いリブ状の凸部95、96,97が形成されている。
この凸部95、96,97の延材方向は、雌ねじ部93の軸方向、弁体9の軸方向と平行になっており、これらの方向が弁体9の移動方向に対して平行であり、この方向が流体制御弁における弁体9の開閉方向になる。
As described above, the wall portion 91 is long along the axial direction, and has a central portion in the general arc direction (circular direction of the ellipse) on the outer surface side, one side edge side, and the other side edge side. Long rib-like convex portions 95, 96, and 97 extending back and forth along the axial direction of the valve body 9 are formed.
The extending direction of the projections 95, 96, 97 is parallel to the axial direction of the female thread portion 93 and the axial direction of the valve body 9, and these directions are parallel to the moving direction of the valve body 9. This direction is the opening and closing direction of the valve body 9 in the fluid control valve.

弁側ボデー2の内周面には、弁体9の壁部91に形成された凸部95,96,97が当接し、弁体9の移動方向に沿って弁体9を案内するとともに、弁体9の回転を規制している。つまり、弁側ボデー2の内周面と当接する凸部95,96,97を設けることにより、弁体9と弁側ボデー2との摺動抵抗を減らしつつ確実に軸方向へ弁体9が移動するのを支持すると共に、回転シャフト8に追従して弁体9が回転するのを防いでいる。   Convex portions 95, 96, 97 formed on the wall 91 of the valve body 9 abut on the inner peripheral surface of the valve body 2 to guide the valve body 9 along the moving direction of the valve body 9, The rotation of the valve body 9 is restricted. That is, by providing the convex portions 95, 96, and 97 that come into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the valve side body 2, the valve body 9 can be reliably moved in the axial direction while reducing the sliding resistance between the valve body 9 and the valve side body 2. While supporting the movement, the valve body 9 is prevented from rotating following the rotating shaft 8.

これらのことから、壁部91およびそれらの凸部95,96,97により弁体9が弁側ボディの内周面に係合して回転が規制されるとともに、弁体9の移動方向(弁の開閉方向)に案内されることになる。この際に、壁部91およびそれらの凸部95,96,97により、弁体9の軸方向が弁側ボデー2の軸方向と斜めになるのを防止するようになっている。
すなわち、壁部91が弁体9の軸方向に長く延在するので弁体9が傾くのが防止される。これにより、弁体9が傾いて、弁体9の先端部が挿入された状態の貫通孔22である弁座の内周面に接触するのが防止されるようになっている。これにより貫通孔22の内周面と、弁体9の外周面との間の間隔が弁体9の外周面と貫通孔22の内周面との接触による摩耗によって広くなって小さな流量の制御が困難になるのを防止することができる。
For these reasons, the valve body 9 is engaged with the inner peripheral surface of the valve-side body by the wall portion 91 and the convex portions 95, 96, 97 to restrict the rotation, and the movement direction of the valve body 9 (valve In the opening and closing direction). At this time, the wall portion 91 and the convex portions 95, 96, 97 prevent the axial direction of the valve body 9 from being inclined with respect to the axial direction of the valve-side body 2.
That is, since the wall portion 91 extends in the axial direction of the valve body 9, the valve body 9 is prevented from being inclined. As a result, the valve body 9 is tilted and is prevented from coming into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the valve seat, which is the through hole 22 in a state in which the distal end portion of the valve body 9 is inserted. Thereby, the space | interval between the internal peripheral surface of the through-hole 22 and the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 9 becomes wide by abrasion by contact with the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 9 and the internal peripheral surface of the through-hole 22, and control of small flow volume is carried out. Can be prevented from becoming difficult.

また、弁体9の支持板92と、弁側ボデー2の蓋23の内側部分で弁座になる貫通孔22の外側部分との間にばねとして圧縮コイルばね10が配置されている。この圧縮コイルばね10は、弁体9をその開閉方向の開側で、モータ側ボデー1の底部の軸支持部材14側に押圧している。この圧縮コイルばね10により、弁体9と、回動シャフト8と回転体6のガタつきが防止されている。   The compression coil spring 10 is disposed as a spring between the support plate 92 of the valve body 9 and the outer portion of the through hole 22 that becomes the valve seat at the inner portion of the lid 23 of the valve body 2. The compression coil spring 10 presses the valve body 9 toward the shaft support member 14 at the bottom of the motor-side body 1 on the open side in the opening / closing direction. The compression coil spring 10 prevents rattling of the valve body 9, the rotating shaft 8, and the rotating body 6.

この圧縮コイルばね10は、弁体9をモータ側ボデー1に向けて押圧することによって、弁体9の雌ねじ部93に雄ねじ部81が螺合している回動シャフト8をその他端部側に設けられた軸支持部材14に押し付けている。軸支持部材14は、軸方向に沿った荷重も受けることになり、軸支持部材14に回動シャフト8の他端部が回転自在に支持されることにより、安定的に回転可能な状態になる。   The compression coil spring 10 presses the valve body 9 toward the motor-side body 1, thereby causing the rotating shaft 8, in which the male threaded portion 81 is screwed to the female threaded portion 93 of the valve body 9, to the other end side. It is pressed against the provided shaft support member 14. The shaft support member 14 also receives a load along the axial direction, and the other end portion of the rotary shaft 8 is rotatably supported by the shaft support member 14, so that the shaft support member 14 can stably rotate. .

このような流体制御弁においては、上述の1つの圧縮コイルばね10により、弁体9と、弁体9に螺合する回動シャフト8と、回動シャフト8と一体に回転する回転体6およびそのマグネット7とのガタつきを防止することができる。これにより部品点数の低減によるコストダウンと、作業性の向上を図ることができる。特に、取り付けに手間のかかるばねを1つだけとすることによって、作業性が確実に向上する。   In such a fluid control valve, the single compression coil spring 10 described above causes the valve body 9, the rotating shaft 8 screwed to the valve body 9, the rotating body 6 rotating integrally with the rotating shaft 8, and The play with the magnet 7 can be prevented. As a result, the cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts, and the workability can be improved. In particular, the workability is reliably improved by using only one spring that is troublesome to mount.

また、圧縮コイルばね10による弁体9のガタつきの防止に加えて、近接する弁側ボデー2の蓋23の貫通孔22の内周面と、弁体9の先端部の外周面とが近接した状態でも、圧縮コイルばね10により、貫通孔22の内周面から弁体9の外周面が離れる方向に付勢されているので、貫通孔22の内周面と、弁体9の外周面の接触が抑制される。   Further, in addition to preventing rattling of the valve body 9 by the compression coil spring 10, the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 22 of the lid 23 of the adjacent valve body 2 and the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion of the valve body 9 are close to each other. Even in the state, the compression coil spring 10 urges the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 9 away from the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 22, so that the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 22 and the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 9 Contact is suppressed.

また、弁体9の壁部91が弁体9の軸方向長さの1/2より長い長さにわたって形成され、この壁部91の外面側の凸部95,96,97が弁側ボデー2の略楕円状の内周面に当接し、弁体9の軸方向の傾きおよび周方向の移動を規制しているので、弁体9の軸方向と、弁側ボデー2の軸方向がずれるのを抑制することができる。この構成によっても、貫通孔22の内周面と、弁体9の外周面の接触が抑制される。   Further, the wall portion 91 of the valve body 9 is formed over a length longer than ½ of the axial length of the valve body 9, and the convex portions 95, 96, 97 on the outer surface side of the wall portion 91 are formed on the valve side body 2. The axial direction of the valve body 9 and the movement in the circumferential direction are restricted, so that the axial direction of the valve body 9 and the axial direction of the valve-side body 2 are deviated from each other. Can be suppressed. Also with this configuration, contact between the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 22 and the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 9 is suppressed.

これらのことから、弁座としての弁側ボデー2の貫通孔22の内周面と、弁体9の先端部側の外周面との接触が抑制されることにより、これら貫通孔22の内周面および弁体9の外周面の摩耗を防止することができ、摩耗により弁の開口部面積が多くなってしまうのを抑制できる。   For these reasons, contact between the inner peripheral surface of the through-hole 22 of the valve-side body 2 serving as a valve seat and the outer peripheral surface on the distal end side of the valve body 9 is suppressed, so that the inner periphery of the through-hole 22 is reduced. It is possible to prevent the surface and the outer peripheral surface of the valve body 9 from being worn, and to suppress an increase in the opening area of the valve due to the wear.

ラジアル方向の力とスラスト方向の力を受ける軸支持部材14は、有蓋円筒状の回転体6の底部側の開口内、すなわち回転体6の中空部内にある回動シャフト8の一端部を受けることから、回転体6を含むロータの長さを短くすることができる。これにより流体制御弁の小型化を図ることができる。
この場合に回動シャフト8を短くしているとも言うことができ、回動シャフト8を構成する材料の削減、回転体6を中空とすることによる回転体6を構成する部材の削減を図ることができる。この場合に、回転する部分の質量が低減され、回転体6等に作用する慣性力を低減し、応答性能を高めることができる。
The shaft support member 14 that receives the radial force and the thrust force receives one end of the rotating shaft 8 in the opening on the bottom side of the covered cylindrical rotating body 6, that is, in the hollow portion of the rotating body 6. Therefore, the length of the rotor including the rotating body 6 can be shortened. Thereby, size reduction of a fluid control valve can be achieved.
In this case, it can also be said that the rotating shaft 8 is shortened, and the reduction of the material constituting the rotating shaft 8 and the reduction of the members constituting the rotating body 6 by making the rotating body 6 hollow. Can do. In this case, the mass of the rotating part is reduced, the inertial force acting on the rotating body 6 and the like can be reduced, and the response performance can be improved.

また、回動シャフト8は、弁体9に回転運動を伝達する雄ねじ部81の径がシャフト部82の径より大きくなっていることにより、雄ねじ部81おシャフト部82の太さとした場合に比較してより強い力で弁体9を開閉動作させることが可能になる。この際に雄ねじ部81よりシャフト部82の方が径が狭いので、雄ねじ部81による回転運動の伝達能力を維持した状態で、回動シャフト8の軽量化を図ることができる。これにより回動シャフト8に使われる材料の低減によるコストダウンと、回動シャフト8の質量低下による慣性の低減に基づいて、応答性能の迅速化を図ることができる。   Further, the rotation shaft 8 is compared with the case where the male screw portion 81 and the shaft portion 82 are made thicker because the diameter of the male screw portion 81 that transmits the rotational motion to the valve body 9 is larger than the diameter of the shaft portion 82. Thus, the valve body 9 can be opened and closed with a stronger force. At this time, since the diameter of the shaft portion 82 is narrower than that of the male screw portion 81, the rotating shaft 8 can be reduced in weight while maintaining the transmission capability of the rotary motion by the male screw portion 81. As a result, it is possible to speed up the response performance based on the cost reduction due to the reduction of the material used for the rotating shaft 8 and the reduction of the inertia due to the mass reduction of the rotating shaft 8.
