  By the way, an annular recess 93 is provided on the outer periphery of the large diameter portion 75b of the guide cylinder 75 between the ninth seal member 86 and the holding portion 28a of the valve housing 28, and an inlet passage 94 leading to the annular recess 93 is the second. A connecting member 95 provided on the body 13 for connecting a conduit for guiding high-pressure gas fuel to the inlet passage 94 is attached to the side surface of the second body 13.

  A plurality of first communication holes 96 that allow the annular recess 93 to communicate with the large diameter hole 85 are provided in the large diameter portion of the guide cylinder 75, and the large diameter cylindrical portion 28 b of the valve housing 28 includes the pressure reducing valve 6. A plurality of second communication holes 97 communicating with the valve chamber 31 are provided. The inlet passage 94, the annular recess 93, the first communication hole 96, and the second communication hole 97 constitute a high-pressure passage 98 that guides high-pressure gas fuel to the pressure reducing valve 6 side. The second valve body 11 and the second valve seat 92 are disposed between the first and second communication holes 96 and 97 in the middle of the high-pressure passage 98.

  The sub-valve element 89 is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape so that a part of the stepped cylindrical portion 11a of the second valve element 11 and the end wall portion 11c can be inserted. A pilot valve chamber 99 is formed between the valve bodies 11, and a first passage 100 that allows the first communication hole 96 communicating with the inlet passage 94 via the annular recess 93 to the pilot valve chamber 99 is the guide cylinder 75. And a second passage formed between the valve housing 28 and the second valve body 11 for communicating the second communication hole 97 communicating with the valve chamber 31 with the pilot port 90. 101 is formed.

  Further, a second rubber seal 102 is embedded in the central portion of the closed end of the sub-valve body 89, and the second rubber seal 102 comes into contact with the protrusion 11d of the second valve body 11 as shown in FIG. The movable core 79 is configured to switch between a state in which the pilot port 90 is closed and a state in which the second rubber seal 102 is spaced from the protrusion 11d and opens the pilot port 90 in response to deenergization and energization of the solenoid 9. That is, the auxiliary valve body 89 operates.

  A C-shaped ring 103 is mounted on the outer periphery of the second valve body 11 in the sub-valve body 89, and the second valve body 11 is disposed on the inner periphery of the open end of the sub-valve body 89. When the sub-valve members 89 are assembled to each other, a protrusion 104 is provided so as to protrude inward in the radial direction by applying the external force to the ring 103 and overcoming the ring 103.

  In such a shut-off valve 7, when the engine is stopped, the movable core 79 is moved away from the fixed core 76 by the spring force of the return spring 80 due to the deenergization of the coil 73, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In addition, the first rubber seal 91 of the second valve body 11 is seated on the second valve seat 92 to block between the first and second communication holes 96 and 97, and the second rubber seal 102 of the sub-valve body 89. When the pilot port 90 is closed by contacting the projection 11d, the pilot valve chamber 99 and the second passage 101 are also shut off, and the supply of high-pressure gas fuel to the valve chamber 31 is stopped.

  On the other hand, when the coil 73 is energized at the start of engine operation, the movable core 79 first moves toward the fixed core 76 only by separating the second rubber seal 102 of the sub-valve element 89 from the projection 11d that forms the pilot port 90. Then, the second passage 101 communicating with the valve chamber 31 via the second communication hole 97 communicates with the pilot valve chamber 99 via the pilot port 90. As a result, high-pressure gas fuel gradually flows from the inlet passage 94 to the pilot port 90 through the annular recess 93, the first communication hole 96, the first passage 100, and the pilot valve chamber 99. As a result, the difference in pressure acting on the second valve body 11 from both sides is reduced. Thus, when the driving force of the solenoid 9 overcomes the force in the valve closing direction based on the differential pressure acting on the second valve body 11, the protrusion 104 is engaged with the ring 103 to engage the first ring 103. The secondary valve body 89 connected to the second valve body 11, that is, the movable core 79 further moves to the fixed core 76 side, and the first rubber seal 91 of the second valve body 11 is separated from the second valve seat 92. The gas fuel flows from the high-pressure passage 98 to the valve chamber 31 side.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. A partition wall 40 that is disposed between the pressure action chamber 37 that faces one surface of the diaphragm 8 and the decompression chamber 19 that leads to the pressure action chamber 37 and in which a through hole 41 is formed, A first valve seat 25 facing the valve chamber 31 leading to the high-pressure passage 98 and having a valve hole 24 communicating with the decompression chamber 19 at the center is provided in the first body 12 of the housing 5, and Includes a cylindrical guide tube portion 42a fitted into the through hole 41, a flange portion 42b projecting radially outward from one end of the guide tube portion 42a and contacting one surface of the partition wall 40, and the through hole An engaging portion connected to the other end of the guide tube portion 42a so as to be elastically engaged with the other surface of the partition wall 40 while being able to bend inward in the radial direction when inserted into the guide 41. 4 and a synthetic resin guide member 42 that is integrally formed with c, and is connected to the first valve body 10 accommodated in the valve chamber 31 and is slidably fitted to the guide tube portion 42a. The member 44 is connected to the central portion of the diaphragm 8, but the engaging portion 42c is spaced apart in the circumferential direction at the other end of the guide tube portion 42a with a notch 59 interposed therebetween. Since it is continuously provided at a plurality of opened positions (three positions in this embodiment), the rigidity of the engaging portion 42c can be reduced as compared with the conventional one in which the engaging portion is annular, and thereby the guide member. As a result, it is possible to improve the assembly workability of the guide member 42 to the partition wall 40 and to prevent the deformation of the engaging portion 42c from being transmitted to the guide tube portion 42a when the guide member 42 is assembled to the partition wall 40. Suppresses changes in inner diameter Rukoto can.

  Further, one of the opposing surfaces of the flange portion 42b and the partition wall 40, in this embodiment, the partition wall 40 is bent so that the reaction force from the flange portion 42b reaches the partition wall 40. Since the abutment portion 60 for abutting the flange portion 42b against the partition wall 40 is provided, the guide member 42 can be firmly attached to the partition wall 40 without causing backlash.

  Further, since the guide member 42 is molded and the abutting portion 60 is provided in the partition wall 40, the number of molding dies when the guide member 42 is molded is determined when the abutting portion is provided on the guide member. It can be reduced in comparison. That is, when the contact portion 60 is provided in the partition wall 40, the guide member 42 can be formed by the four molds 62 to 65 as described with reference to FIG. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4 (b), when the guide member 42 'in which the annular contact portion 111 is projected from the outer peripheral portion of the flange portion 42b is molded, the engaging portion 42c, an upper mold 62 that forms the inner surface and the tip of the cut-out 59, a lower mold 63 that forms one surface of the inner surface of the guide cylinder part 42a and the flange part 42b, a part of the guide cylinder part 42a, and the engagement The outer peripheral portion of the other surface of the flange portion 42b including the slide molds 105 and 106 which are divided into two in the circumferential direction so as to form the outer surface of the joint portion 42c and which can slide in the direction indicated by the arrow, and the contact portion 111 The upper die 107 that forms the outer periphery of the flange portion 42b, the remaining outer surface of the guide tube portion 42a, and the remaining portion of the other surface of the flange portion 42b are formed in cooperation with each other and divided into two in the circumferential direction. Rutotomoni a slidable slide 108 and 109 in the direction indicated by the arrow is necessary, requires a total of seven types 62,63,105～109, the number of mold becomes large.

  Further, since the contact portion 60 is formed in an annular shape so as to ensure airtightness between the guide member 42 and the partition wall 40, airtightness can be secured with a simple configuration.

  Further, since the thickness d2 of the flange portion 42b and the thickness d3 of the engaging portion 42c are set smaller than the thickness d1 of the guide tube portion 42a, the deformation of the flange portion 42b and the engaging portion 42c is promoted. In addition, the deformation of the guide tube portion 42a can be suppressed.

  Further, in order to create a space 66 between the inner surface of the engaging portion 42 c and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting member 44, the engaging portion 42 c is in the natural state of the guide member 42 and the inner peripheral surface of the guide cylinder portion 42 a. Since the inner surface of the engaging portion 42c is positioned outward from the extended surface of the connecting member 44, the outer surface of the connecting member 44 is prevented from coming into contact with the inner surface of the engaging portion 42c. The deterioration of the mobility can be prevented.
