Description

本発明は、弁体の微小開度を表示する微小開度表示機能付き回転弁と微小開度調整方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a rotary valve with a minute opening display function for displaying a minute opening of a valve body and a method for adjusting the minute opening.

従来、バタフライ弁等の回転弁には、外部に弁体開度を表示するための開度表示部が設けられることがある。この場合、特に、充水機能を有するバタフライ弁では、通水開始時から徐々に充水をおこなうために、開度表示部を介して、弁閉付近からの弁体の微小開度を微細に表示できるように要求されることが多い。その際、一般に、この種のバルブには減速歯車機能が内蔵されたアクチュエータが搭載され、この減速歯車機能を介して入力軸の回転が出力軸に減速されて出力されるようになっている。これを利用し、減速された出力軸側の回転角度を確認することで、弁体の微小開度を視認しながら操作できるようにした微小開度表示機能付きの回転弁が知られている。 Conventionally, a rotary valve such as a butterfly valve may be provided with an opening degree display unit for displaying the valve body opening degree to the outside. In this case, in particular, in the butterfly valve having a water filling function, in order to gradually fill the water from the start of water flow, the minute opening of the valve body from the vicinity of the valve closing is finely adjusted via the opening display unit. Often required to be visible. At that time, in general, this type of valve is equipped with an actuator having a built-in reduction gear function, and the rotation of the input shaft is decelerated to the output shaft and output via this reduction gear function. A rotary valve with a minute opening display function is known, which can be operated while visually recognizing the minute opening of the valve body by confirming the rotation angle on the decelerated output shaft side by utilizing this.

回転弁用の開度表示機能を有する操作機として、例えば、特許文献1の多段歯車式手動操作機が開示されている。この手動操作機では、内部に遊星歯車機能が設けられ、入力軸からの入力が遊星歯車機能を介して減速された後に出力軸から出力される。この場合、入力軸には出力側の開度軸が同軸上に回転可能に取付けられ、この開度軸には指針が一体に取付けられ、一方、遊星歯車機能を覆うふたには、目盛が記されている。この構成により、指針は、出力軸と同じ回転角だけ回転可能になっており、この指針が目盛を指すことで出力側の回転角度が外部から視認可能に設けられている。 As an operating machine having an opening degree display function for a rotary valve, for example, a multi-stage gear type manual operating machine of Patent Document 1 is disclosed. In this manual operation machine, a planetary gear function is provided inside, and the input from the input shaft is decelerated via the planetary gear function and then output from the output shaft. In this case, the opening shaft on the output side is coaxially and rotatably attached to the input shaft, and the pointer is integrally attached to the opening shaft, while the lid covering the planetary gear function is marked with a scale. Has been done. With this configuration, the pointer can be rotated by the same rotation angle as the output shaft, and the rotation angle on the output side can be visually recognized from the outside by pointing the pointer to the scale.

一方、特許文献2の微小開度表示機能付きバルブでは、減速機に、入力軸、出力軸、これら入出力軸部の間の歯車列と、弁体の開度を示す開度目盛部、この開度目盛部を差し示す開度指針部とが設けられている。開度目盛部は、出力軸部の回転角度に対応する弁体開度を表示する全開度表示目盛と、入力軸部の回転角度に対応する弁体開度を表示する微小開度表示目盛とを有し、開度指針部は、全開度表示目盛において開度を指し示す全開度指針と、微小開度表示目盛において開度を指し示す微小開度指針とを有している。この構成により、入力軸部の回転時には、出力軸の回転により弁体の開度(回転角度)が全開度表示目盛に指示され、微小開度指針で全開度指針の開度が拡大されて微小開度表示目盛に指示されるようになっている。 On the other hand, in the valve with a minute opening display function of Patent Document 2, the speed reducer has an input shaft, an output shaft, a gear train between these input / output shafts, and an opening scale portion indicating the opening of the valve body. An opening pointer portion for indicating the opening scale portion is provided. The opening scale includes a full opening display scale that displays the valve body opening corresponding to the rotation angle of the output shaft, and a minute opening display scale that displays the valve body opening corresponding to the rotation angle of the input shaft. The opening degree guide unit has a full opening degree guideline indicating the opening degree on the full opening degree display scale and a minute opening degree guideline indicating the opening degree on the minute opening degree display scale. With this configuration, when the input shaft is rotated, the opening (rotation angle) of the valve body is indicated on the full opening display scale by the rotation of the output shaft, and the opening of the full opening pointer is expanded by the minute opening guide to be minute. It is designed to be instructed by the opening display scale.

さらに、微小開度指針が、軸芯回りに位置調整可能に設けられ、弁体が通水開始の位置で微小開度表示目盛の「0度」を指すように設定されることにより、通水(充水)時からの微小開度指針の回転量を視認可能になっている。 Further, a minute opening pointer is provided so that the position can be adjusted around the axis, and the valve body is set to point to "0 degree" on the minute opening display scale at the position where water flow starts, so that water flow can be performed. The amount of rotation of the minute opening pointer from the time of (filling) can be visually recognized.

前者の特許文献1の手動操作機の場合、出力軸と同じ回転角で回転する指針により、出力側の回転角度のみを確認する構成であることから、弁体の微小な回転角度を視認することが難しい。このことから、特に、弁体の微調整を必要とする回転弁に適しているとは言い難く、充水時に弁閉付近の微小開度を細かい制御を必要とする充水用のバタフライ弁に使用することは難しい。 In the case of the former manual operation machine of Patent Document 1, since only the rotation angle on the output side is confirmed by the pointer rotating at the same rotation angle as the output shaft, it is necessary to visually recognize the minute rotation angle of the valve body. Is difficult. For this reason, it is difficult to say that it is particularly suitable for rotary valves that require fine adjustment of the valve body, and it is suitable for water filling butterfly valves that require fine control of the minute opening near the valve closing during water filling. Difficult to use.

一方、後者の特許文献2の微小開度表示機能付きバルブでは、微小開度指針と微小開度表示目盛とにより、微小開度の状態を確認可能であり、さらに、微小開度指針を調整することで、弁体の任意の動作状態からの入力軸の回転状態を、微小開度指針により視認可能になっている。 On the other hand, in the latter valve with a minute opening display function of Patent Document 2, the state of the minute opening can be confirmed by the minute opening guide and the minute opening display scale, and the minute opening guide is further adjusted. As a result, the rotational state of the input shaft from an arbitrary operating state of the valve body can be visually recognized by the minute opening pointer.

しかし、この減速機では、入力軸が回転した回数を目盛で確認することができない。そのため、充水開始からの回転数を確認するためには、微小開度指針の回転数を目視以外の方法で別途カウントする必要がある。しかも、全開度表示目盛と微小開度目盛とが位置決め状態になっていることで、全開度表示目盛に対して微小開度目盛を調整することもできない。このことから、充水時に、微小開度指針を微小表示目盛の「0度」を指すように設定し、充水開始時からの微小開度指針の回転量を視認することは可能ではあるが、これと同時に全開度表示目盛を全開度表示指針に対して調整して0の位置にリセットすることができない。これにより、充水開始時には、微小開度指針が0度の位置を指し示すときに全開度表示指針が全閉状態から開方向にわずかに進み、微小開度表示と全開度表示との表示がずれた関係となる。このように、弁体を任意の回転状態から作動させる際に、入力軸側と出力軸側との指針の位置関係も正しく表示できないため、充水開始時からの正確な微小開度の確認が難しく、作業性も悪い。
このような理由から、充水時などの弁閉状態より弁体が回転した状態から、さらに弁体が回転するときの回転量を正確かつ高精度に制御するために微小開度を表示可能な回転弁の開発が望まれていた。
However, with this reducer, the number of times the input shaft has rotated cannot be confirmed on the scale. Therefore, in order to confirm the rotation speed from the start of filling, it is necessary to separately count the rotation speed of the minute opening pointer by a method other than visual inspection. Moreover, since the full opening degree display scale and the minute opening degree scale are in the positioning state, it is not possible to adjust the minute opening degree scale with respect to the full opening degree display scale. From this, it is possible to set the minute opening pointer to point to "0 degrees" on the minute display scale at the time of filling, and to visually recognize the amount of rotation of the minute opening pointer from the start of filling. At the same time, the full opening display scale cannot be adjusted with respect to the full opening display pointer and reset to the 0 position. As a result, at the start of water filling, when the minute opening pointer points to the position of 0 degrees, the full opening display pointer slightly advances from the fully closed state to the opening direction, and the display of the minute opening display and the full opening display deviate from each other. It becomes a relationship. In this way, when the valve body is operated from an arbitrary rotational state, the positional relationship between the pointers on the input shaft side and the output shaft side cannot be displayed correctly, so it is possible to confirm the accurate minute opening from the start of filling. Difficult and poor workability.
For this reason, it is possible to display a minute opening in order to accurately and highly accurately control the amount of rotation when the valve body rotates from the state where the valve body rotates from the valve closed state such as when the valve body is filled with water. The development of a rotary valve has been desired.

本発明は、上記の課題点を解決するために開発したものであり、その目的とするところは、任意の回転状態から弁体が回転するときの回転量を従来に比して正確かつ高精度に外部に表示して微小開度を視認でき、作業性を向上できる微小開度表示機能付き回転弁と微小開度調整方法を提供することにある。 The present invention has been developed in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to accurately and highly accurately measure the amount of rotation when the valve body rotates from an arbitrary rotation state as compared with the conventional case. It is an object of the present invention to provide a rotary valve with a minute opening display function and a method for adjusting the minute opening, which can be displayed on the outside to visually recognize the minute opening and improve workability.

Advance the full opening pointer section from the start point position of the full opening display section to the filling start position, and adjust the start point position of the minute opening indicator section that rotates in synchronization with the input shaft to the rotation speed pointer section provided on the pointer. While fixing to the input shaft, the start point position of the rotation speed display unit that displays the rotation speed of the input shaft is aligned with the start point position of the minute opening degree display unit, so that the minute opening degree can be displayed accurately.

請求項に係る発明は、全開度表示部の設定位置が、減速機上面において回転調整手段により回転調整自在に設けられた回転弁の微小開度調整方法である。
The invention according to claim 8 is a method for adjusting a minute opening degree of a rotary valve in which a setting position of a full opening degree display unit is provided on the upper surface of the speed reducer so as to be rotatable by a rotation adjusting means.

請求項1に係る発明によると、全開度表示部と全開度指針部とにより出力軸の開度を表示可能であることに加えて、入力軸に微小開度表示部、減速機に回転数表示部並びに回転数指針部を備えていることにより、入力軸の回転した回数を回転数表示部により視認しながら微小開度を調整可能となる。このとき、出力軸の回転を入力軸に同期しながらこの入力軸の微小開度を指し示すことができるため、任意の回転状態から弁体が回転するときの回転量を、従来に比して正確かつ高精度に外部に表示して微小開度を視認できる。これにより、正確に出力軸を回転させて微小開度を調整し、充水作業を実施することが可能になり、その作業性も向上する。さらに、バルブ本体の口径や個体差などによる充水開始時のバルブ開度の差異や、或は、長期の使用や劣化などにより充水開始時のバルブ開度が変わった場合にも、それぞれの充水開始位置をリセットして微小開度の表示を調整し、高精度にバルブ開度を制御可能となる。特に、減速機上面において、回転調整手段を介して全開度表示部に対する回転数表示部の位置を回転することでこれらの位置を相対的に調整でき、弁閉状態から充水開始状態になったときを始点として、この位置からの出力軸の正確な回転数を回転数表示部に表示させることが可能となる。
According to the invention of claim 1, in addition to being able to display the opening degree of the output shaft by the full opening degree display unit and the full opening degree pointer unit, a minute opening degree display unit is displayed on the input shaft and a rotation speed is displayed on the speed reducer. By providing the unit and the rotation speed pointer unit, it is possible to adjust the minute opening while visually recognizing the number of rotations of the input shaft by the rotation speed display unit. At this time, since the minute opening of the input shaft can be indicated while synchronizing the rotation of the output shaft with the input shaft, the amount of rotation when the valve body rotates from an arbitrary rotation state is more accurate than before. Moreover, the minute opening can be visually recognized by displaying it on the outside with high accuracy. As a result, it becomes possible to accurately rotate the output shaft to adjust the minute opening degree and perform the water filling work, and the workability is also improved. Furthermore, even if there is a difference in the valve opening at the start of filling due to the diameter or individual difference of the valve body, or if the valve opening at the start of filling changes due to long-term use or deterioration, etc. The valve opening can be controlled with high accuracy by resetting the water filling start position and adjusting the display of the minute opening. In particular, on the upper surface of the speed reducer, these positions can be adjusted relatively by rotating the position of the rotation speed display unit with respect to the total opening degree display unit via the rotation adjustment means, and the valve closed state is changed to the water filling start state. Starting from the time, the accurate rotation speed of the output shaft from this position can be displayed on the rotation speed display unit.

請求項2に係る発明によると、回転数表示部の始点位置を微小開度表示部の指針部としていることにより、回転数表示部の始点位置に対する微小開度表示部の回転量を視認し、微小開度表示部用の指針部を別途設けることなく入力軸の微小開度を確認できる。しかも、回転数表示部によって出力軸の回転数、並びに入力側の微小開度を集中的に表示できるため、この回転数表示部付近を視認することで、出力軸の回転数と、入力軸の回転による微小開度とを一目で正確に確認可能となる。 According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the start point position of the rotation speed display unit is used as the pointer unit of the minute opening degree display unit, the amount of rotation of the minute opening degree display unit with respect to the start point position of the rotation speed display unit is visually recognized. The minute opening of the input shaft can be confirmed without separately providing a pointer for the minute opening display. Moreover, since the rotation speed display unit can centrally display the rotation speed of the output shaft and the minute opening on the input side, the rotation speed of the output shaft and the input shaft can be visually recognized by visually recognizing the vicinity of the rotation speed display unit. It is possible to accurately check the minute opening due to rotation at a glance.

請求項3に係る発明によると、入力軸に設けたインジケータの微小開度表示部に始点表示部を施していることで、この始点表示部を回転数表示部に対して位置調整して目盛を合わせるようにすれば、入力軸が充水開始の位置まで回転した後に始点表示部の位置を確認して入力軸の微小な回転を正確に表示できる。 According to the invention of claim 3, since the start point display unit is provided on the minute opening display unit of the indicator provided on the input shaft, the position of the start point display unit is adjusted with respect to the rotation speed display unit to adjust the scale. If they are aligned, the position of the start point display unit can be confirmed after the input shaft has rotated to the position where the filling starts, and the minute rotation of the input shaft can be accurately displayed.

請求項に係る発明によると、回転調整手段を介して全開度目盛部を回転数表示部に対して相対的に回転して調整できることにより、この全開度目盛部の始点を出力軸の弁閉状態に正確に合わせることができ、出力軸の弁閉状態からの正確な開度を全開度表示部に表示させることが可能となる。
According to the invention of claim 4 , the total opening scale portion can be adjusted by rotating relative to the rotation speed display portion via the rotation adjusting means, so that the start point of the full opening scale portion can be closed by the valve of the output shaft. It is possible to accurately adjust to the state, and it is possible to display the accurate opening degree of the output shaft from the valve closed state on the full opening degree display unit.

請求項に係る発明によると、弁開時の充水状態まで出力軸を回転させた状態で、微小開度表示部の始点位置、回転数表示部の始点位置、回転数指針部を合わせて回転数表示部を位置決めできることで、優れた作業性により充水開始時の位置合わせをおこなうことができる。全開度表示部と全開度指針部とにより出力軸の開度を表示可能であることに加えて、充水時には、出力軸側の回転数指針部、入力軸側の微小開度表示部により正確な微小開度を確認できる。
According to the invention of claim 5 , in a state where the output shaft is rotated to the state of being filled with water when the valve is opened, the start point position of the minute opening display unit, the start point position of the rotation speed display unit, and the rotation speed pointer unit are combined. Since the rotation speed display unit can be positioned, it is possible to perform alignment at the start of filling with excellent workability. In addition to being able to display the opening degree of the output shaft by the full opening degree display unit and the full opening degree pointer unit, it is more accurate by the rotation speed pointer unit on the output shaft side and the minute opening degree display unit on the input shaft side when filling water. A small opening can be confirmed.

請求項に係る発明によると、回転数表示部の始点位置に対して、出力軸側の指針の回転数指針部と、入力軸側の微小開度表示部との回転状態を確認できることで、従来に比して充水開始状態から弁体が回転するときの回転量を、正確かつ高精度に確認しながら微小開度を制御可能となる。
According to the invention of claim 6 , the rotational state of the rotation speed pointer unit of the pointer on the output shaft side and the minute opening degree display unit on the input shaft side can be confirmed with respect to the start point position of the rotation speed display unit. Compared with the conventional case, it is possible to control the minute opening while accurately and highly accurately checking the amount of rotation when the valve body rotates from the state of starting filling.

請求項に係る発明によると、減速機上面において、回転調整手段を介して全開度表示部に対する回転数表示部の位置を回転することでこれらの位置を相対的に調整でき、弁閉状態から充水開始状態になったときを始点として、この位置からの出力軸の正確な回転数を回転数表示部に表示させることが可能となる。
According to the invention of claim 7 , these positions can be relatively adjusted by rotating the position of the rotation speed display unit with respect to the total opening degree display unit via the rotation adjustment means on the upper surface of the speed reducer, and the valve is closed. Starting from the time when the water filling start state is reached, the accurate rotation speed of the output shaft from this position can be displayed on the rotation speed display unit.

請求項に係る発明によると、回転調整手段を介して全開度目盛部を回転数表示部に対して相対的に回転して調整できることにより、この全開度目盛部の始点を出力軸の弁閉状態に正確に合わせることができ、出力軸の弁閉状態からの正確な開度を全開度表示部に表示させることが可能となる。




According to the invention of claim 8 , the total opening scale portion can be adjusted by rotating relative to the rotation speed display portion via the rotation adjusting means, so that the start point of the full opening scale portion can be closed by the valve of the output shaft. It is possible to accurately adjust to the state, and it is possible to display the accurate opening degree of the output shaft from the valve closed state on the full opening degree display unit.

減速機構5は、外歯車10、内歯車11、偏心カム12、ピン13を有する差動歯車機能からなり、外歯車10と内歯車11との歯数差により所定の減速比が設定される。本例で使用される減速機2は、入力軸3と出力軸4とが同方向に回転するギアの組合わせにより設けられ、入力軸3の右回り回転により出力軸4も右回り回転して弁開動作するようになっている。入力軸3、及びこの入力軸2と同期して回転する後述の表示部材20と指針21とが同一方向に回転することで視認性に優れ、直感的な操作が可能になっている。減速機構5が、入力軸3と出力軸4とが同方向に回転するギア機構であることで、いわゆるセルフロック機能も発揮し、流体圧力による回転を防ぎつつ操作力を伝達するようになっている。
入力軸3を1回転したときには、この回転が減速機構5により減速されて出力軸4が入力軸3の1回転分の回転量だけ減速回転し、この入力軸3の回転が後述の回転数表示部22によって示される。
The reduction gear mechanism 5 includes a differential gear function having an external gear 10, an internal gear 11, an eccentric cam 12, and a pin 13, and a predetermined reduction ratio is set by the difference in the number of teeth between the external gear 10 and the internal gear 11. The speed reducer 2 used in this example is provided by a combination of gears in which the input shaft 3 and the output shaft 4 rotate in the same direction, and the output shaft 4 also rotates clockwise due to the clockwise rotation of the input shaft 3. The valve is designed to open. The input shaft 3 and the display member 20 and the pointer 21, which are described later and rotate in synchronization with the input shaft 2, rotate in the same direction, so that the visibility is excellent and intuitive operation is possible. Since the speed reduction mechanism 5 is a gear mechanism in which the input shaft 3 and the output shaft 4 rotate in the same direction, the so-called self-locking function is also exhibited, and the operating force is transmitted while preventing the rotation due to the fluid pressure. There is.
When the input shaft 3 is rotated once, this rotation is decelerated by the deceleration mechanism 5, and the output shaft 4 is decelerated and rotated by the amount of one rotation of the input shaft 3, and the rotation of the input shaft 3 is displayed as the number of rotations described later. Shown by part 22.

図3のキャップ6は操作部側に設けられ、入力軸3の上端部に嵌め込みにより一体に取付けられる。キャップ6は、いわゆるスリップキャップと呼ばれる構造であるとよく、この場合、過大なトルクが入力側から加わったときに、この入力側でスリップして入力軸3への回転伝達が遮断される。スリップキャップを用いた場合、埋設などでバルブ本体1の呼び径等が分かりづらい状態で必要以上に大きい操作トルクが加わったときにも、入力軸3に過大な回転力が伝わることがないことで安全な回転操作が可能となる。さらに、バルブ本体1の操作に必要なトルクに応じて、異なるスリップトルクのキャップ6を選定することも可能である。 The cap 6 of FIG. 3 is provided on the operation portion side, and is integrally attached to the upper end portion of the input shaft 3 by fitting. The cap 6 may have a structure called a so-called slip cap. In this case, when an excessive torque is applied from the input side, the cap 6 slips on the input side and the rotation transmission to the input shaft 3 is cut off. When a slip cap is used, even if an unnecessarily large operating torque is applied in a state where it is difficult to understand the nominal diameter of the valve body 1 due to burying, etc., an excessive rotational force is not transmitted to the input shaft 3. Safe rotation operation is possible. Further, it is possible to select caps 6 having different slip torques according to the torque required for operating the valve body 1.

図3〜図8において、減速機2には、全開度を示す目盛である全開度表示部23、回転数を示す目盛である回転数表示部22、これら目盛を指すための指針21が設けられ、この指針21は、全開度指針部30、回転数指針部31を備えている。一方、入力軸3側には、目盛を有する微小開度表示部32が設けられる。これらによって、ステム7の開度が外部より視認可能に設けられている。 In FIGS. 3 to 8, the speed reducer 2 is provided with a total opening degree display unit 23 which is a scale indicating the total opening degree, a rotation speed display unit 22 which is a scale indicating the rotation speed, and a pointer 21 for pointing to these scales. The pointer 21 includes a full opening guideline portion 30 and a rotation speed guideline portion 31. On the other hand, on the input shaft 3 side, a minute opening degree display unit 32 having a scale is provided. As a result, the opening degree of the stem 7 is provided so as to be visible from the outside.

(Stem 7) It means the opening degree display on the input side at the time of operation. As will be described later, the "total opening degree display" is the full opening degree display unit 23 and the pointer 21 (total opening degree guideline unit 30), and the "small opening degree display" is the rotation speed display unit 22 and the minute opening degree display unit 32 and the pointer. 21 (rotation speed pointer unit 31) is provided so as to be able to display each.

減速機2の上面の外周側には、SUS等の材料により環状の銘板33が設けられ、この銘板33の表面に前記の全開度表示部23が設けられる。全開度表示部23は、出力軸4の開度用として設けられ、減速機2の上面に固着されて弁閉状態(弁体角度0°)から弁開状態(弁体角度90°)までの弁体の全開度が銘板33の略90°の範囲にわたって弁体の角度や弁開度の割合を示す数値とともに記され、全開度指針部30に指示されることで、出力軸4の回転状態が表示可能になっている。全開度表示部23には、充水に適した弁開度の範囲である充水開度範囲表示部34が併記される。さらに、銘板33には、呼び径、メーカー名、呼び圧力、最高許容圧力、最高流速、製造年等が記されている(図示せず)。 An annular name plate 33 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the upper surface of the speed reducer 2 using a material such as SUS, and the full opening degree display unit 23 is provided on the surface of the name plate 33. The full opening degree display unit 23 is provided for opening the output shaft 4, and is fixed to the upper surface of the speed reducer 2 from the valve closed state (valve angle 0 °) to the valve open state (valve angle 90 °). The total opening degree of the valve body is described together with a numerical value indicating the angle of the valve body and the ratio of the valve opening degree over a range of approximately 90 ° of the name plate 33, and when instructed by the total opening degree pointer unit 30, the rotation state of the output shaft 4 Can be displayed.

Further, the name plate 33 has a nominal diameter, a manufacturer's name, a nominal pressure, a maximum allowable pressure, a maximum flow velocity, a year of manufacture, and the like (not shown).

銘板33の全開度表示部23(銘板33)の裏面側には、回転調整手段として貼着部40が設けられ、この貼着部40を介して減速機2上面に銘板33(全開度表示部23)が貼着される。これにより、全開度表示部23を所望の向きにしつつ減速機2に貼着することで、全開度表示部23の設定位置が減速機2上面において回転調整手段40により回転調整自在に設けられ、出力軸4(全開度指針部30)の回転状態に合わせて正確に取付けながら全開度を表示可能となる。全開度表示部23の回転調整手段40は、全開度表示部23を減速機2上面に対して回転調整自在であれば、貼着部以外の手段であってもよい。 A sticking portion 40 is provided as a rotation adjusting means on the back surface side of the full opening degree display unit 23 (name plate 33) of the name plate 33, and the name plate 33 (full opening degree display unit) is provided on the upper surface of the speed reducer 2 via the sticking portion 40. 23) is attached. As a result, the full opening display unit 23 is attached to the speed reducer 2 while being oriented in a desired direction, so that the set position of the full opening display unit 23 is rotatably provided on the upper surface of the speed reducer 2 by the rotation adjusting means 40. It is possible to display the total opening degree while accurately mounting the output shaft 4 (total opening degree pointer unit 30) according to the rotational state. The rotation adjusting means 40 of the full opening degree display unit 23 may be a means other than the sticking part as long as the rotation of the full opening degree display unit 23 can be adjusted with respect to the upper surface of the speed reducer 2.

回転数表示部22は、入力軸3の回転数の表示用として設けられ、全開度表示部23とは別体に形成された扇状部材41の上面に記され、全開度指針部30の略180°反対側に設けられる。そして、回転数指針部31に指示されることで、入力軸3の回転数が表示可能に設けられている。回転数表示部22は、全開度表示部23と同様に、略90°の範囲にわたって入力軸3の回転数を示す数値とともに記される。 The rotation speed display unit 22 is provided for displaying the rotation speed of the input shaft 3, and is marked on the upper surface of the fan-shaped member 41 formed separately from the total opening degree display unit 23. ° Provided on the opposite side. Then, the rotation speed of the input shaft 3 can be displayed by being instructed by the rotation speed pointer unit 31. The rotation speed display unit 22 is described together with a numerical value indicating the rotation speed of the input shaft 3 over a range of approximately 90 °, similarly to the full opening degree display unit 23.

回転数表示部22の始点位置(0(ゼロ)の位置)には線状の表示指針部42が記され、この表示指針部42が、微小開度表示部32が回転するときの目盛を読むための指針部となる。表示指針部42を含む回転数表示部22を構成する目盛は、入力軸3の回転数に対応するように等間隔に形成される。 A linear display pointer unit 42 is marked at the start point position (0 (zero) position) of the rotation speed display unit 22, and the display pointer unit 42 reads the scale when the minute opening display unit 32 rotates. It becomes a guideline part for. The scales constituting the rotation speed display unit 22 including the display pointer unit 42 are formed at equal intervals so as to correspond to the rotation speed of the input shaft 3.

このように、表示指針部42が、微小開度表示部32が回転するときの目盛を読むための指針部として機能するので、新たな微小開度指針部を設ける必要が無く、また、表示指針部42と微小開度表示部32が、全開表示部材を介することなく対向配置しているので、微小開度の視認性、特に回転数表示の視認性を高めることができる。 In this way, since the display pointer unit 42 functions as a guide unit for reading the scale when the minute opening display unit 32 rotates, it is not necessary to provide a new minute opening guide unit, and the display guideline Since the unit 42 and the minute opening display unit 32 are arranged so as to face each other without the intervention of the fully open display member, the visibility of the minute opening, particularly the visibility of the rotation speed display, can be improved.

回転数表示部22(扇状部材41)には、回転調整手段として所定長さの2箇所の長孔50、50、2つのねじ51、51が設けられ、これら長孔50、ねじ51によって回転数表示部22が減速機2上面に固着される。その際、ねじ51の長孔50への止め位置を変えることで、回転数表示部22の位置が、減速機2上面において回転調整自在に設けられる。この回転調整手段は、前述の全開度表示部の回転調整手段と同様に、回転数表示部を減速機上面に対して回転調整自在であれば、長孔50とねじ51との組合わせ以外の各種手段を用いることもできる。 The rotation speed display unit 22 (fan-shaped member 41) is provided with two elongated holes 50, 50 and two screws 51, 51 having a predetermined length as rotation adjusting means, and the rotation speed is increased by the elongated holes 50 and the screws 51. The display unit 22 is fixed to the upper surface of the speed reducer 2. At that time, by changing the stop position of the screw 51 to the elongated hole 50, the position of the rotation speed display unit 22 is provided so that the rotation speed can be adjusted on the upper surface of the speed reducer 2. Similar to the rotation adjusting means of the full opening degree display unit described above, this rotation adjusting means is other than the combination of the elongated hole 50 and the screw 51 as long as the rotation speed display unit can be rotated with respect to the upper surface of the speed reducer. Various means can also be used.

図2において、出力軸4の上部には、この出力軸4並びに弁体と一体に回転可能に開度軸52が取付けられ、この開度軸52の上部に前述の指針21が一体に嵌合され、この指針21に、全開度指針部30、回転数指針部31が、180°の間隔で一体に形成されている。指針21は、全開度指針部30が全開度表示部23、回転数指針部31が回転数表示部22をそれぞれ指し示す向きに出力軸4と同期するように取付けられ、全開度指針部30は、出力軸4の弁閉状態からの回転量に応じて、全開度表示部23を指し示すようになっている。 In FIG. 2, an opening shaft 52 is rotatably attached to the upper part of the output shaft 4 together with the output shaft 4 and the valve body, and the above-mentioned pointer 21 is integrally fitted to the upper part of the opening shaft 52. The guideline 21 is integrally formed with the full opening guideline portion 30 and the rotation speed guideline portion 31 at intervals of 180 °. The pointer 21 is attached so that the full opening guide unit 30 points to the full opening display unit 23 and the rotation speed guide unit 31 points to the rotation speed display unit 22 in synchronization with the output shaft 4. The full opening degree display unit 23 is indicated according to the amount of rotation of the output shaft 4 from the valve closed state.

一方、回転数指針部31は、入力軸3の回転数を出力軸4の回転に同期させた状態で、回転数表示部22において指し示すようになっており、この回転数指針部31には、例えば赤色等の着色が施されている。 On the other hand, the rotation speed pointer unit 31 is configured to point to the rotation speed display unit 22 in a state where the rotation speed of the input shaft 3 is synchronized with the rotation of the output shaft 4, and the rotation speed pointer unit 31 is indicated by the rotation speed pointer unit 31. For example, it is colored red or the like.

微小開度表示部32は、入力軸3の回転角度に対応する弁体開度を、微小開度範囲における表示用として入力軸3側に同期して回転可能に設けられ、全開度表示部23の内側に配置される。微小開度表示部32は、略環状の適宜の厚さの板材である表示部材20の上面に記され、この表示部材20は、入力軸3に設けられる略環状のインジケータ55の上面に固定可能に設けられる。微小開度表示部32の始点位置には、始点表示部60が数字の「0(ゼロ)」とともに施され、微小開度表示部32はこの始点表示部60を基点として、等間隔な目盛部により分割される。 The minute opening degree display unit 32 is provided so that the valve body opening degree corresponding to the rotation angle of the input shaft 3 can be rotated in synchronization with the input shaft 3 side for display in the minute opening degree range, and the total opening degree display unit 23 Placed inside. The minute opening display unit 32 is marked on the upper surface of the display member 20 which is a plate material having a substantially annular thickness of an appropriate thickness, and the display member 20 can be fixed to the upper surface of the substantially annular indicator 55 provided on the input shaft 3. It is provided in. At the start point position of the minute opening display unit 32, the start point display unit 60 is provided together with the number "0 (zero)", and the minute opening display unit 32 is a scale unit at equal intervals with the start point display unit 60 as a base point. Is divided by.

この場合、微小開度表示部32は、1回転である360°が16分割されて記される。このように微小開度表示部32が細かく分割されている場合、入力軸3の回転時の微調整が容易となる。例えば、1回転以下の入力軸3の目盛のステップとして、1/4回転、1/8回転、1/16回転と、360°が4の倍数で刻まれている場合、微小開度表示部32の回転状態を直感的に視認しやすく、このうち、特に、図に示すように、1/16回転ごとのステップに分割されているときには、バルブのCv値の変化量のステップをより細かく調整可能となる。微小開度表示部32には、上記の0(ゼロ)から15までの数字が順に記される。 In this case, the minute opening degree display unit 32 is described by dividing 360 °, which is one rotation, into 16 parts. When the minute opening degree display unit 32 is finely divided in this way, fine adjustment during rotation of the input shaft 3 becomes easy. For example, when 360 ° is engraved in multiples of 4 such as 1/4 rotation, 1/8 rotation, and 1/16 rotation as the scale step of the input shaft 3 of 1 rotation or less, the minute opening display unit 32 It is easy to intuitively visually recognize the rotation state of the valve, and in particular, as shown in the figure, when the step is divided into steps every 1/16 rotation, the step of the amount of change in the Cv value of the valve can be adjusted more finely. It becomes. The above-mentioned numbers from 0 (zero) to 15 are sequentially written on the minute opening degree display unit 32.

インジケータ55は、止めねじ61により入力軸3と同軸のキャップ6に固定される。この止めねじ61により、微小開度表示部32は、入力軸3に対して周方向に0の位置を回転調整可能な状態で固定可能になっている。 The indicator 55 is fixed to the cap 6 coaxial with the input shaft 3 by the set screw 61. With the set screw 61, the minute opening degree display unit 32 can be fixed in a state where the position of 0 in the circumferential direction with respect to the input shaft 3 can be rotationally adjusted.

前述したように、回転数表示部22、微小開度表示部32の位置がそれぞれ調整可能であることから、図5の出力軸4が微小開度の状態で、指針21の全開度指針部30が全開度表示部23の始点位置である「0(ゼロ)」よりも弁開方向に進んだ状態にあるときに、図6に示すように、回転数表示部22、微小開度表示部32をそれぞれ回転調整し、指針21の回転数指針部31に対してそれぞれの始点位置を一致させることが可能となる。これを利用して、出力軸4の任意の回転状態、例えば、図5の充水開始の状態からの微小開度を、回転数指針部31による出力軸4の回転数と、微小開度表示部32による入力軸3の回転量とにより表示可能となる。 As described above, since the positions of the rotation speed display unit 22 and the minute opening display unit 32 can be adjusted respectively, the full opening pointer unit 30 of the pointer 21 with the output shaft 4 of FIG. 5 having a minute opening. Is in a state of being advanced in the valve opening direction from "0 (zero)" which is the start point position of the full opening degree display unit 23, as shown in FIG. 6, the rotation speed display unit 22 and the minute opening degree display unit 32. It is possible to adjust the rotation of each of the above to match the starting point position with respect to the rotation speed pointer portion 31 of the pointer 21. Utilizing this, an arbitrary rotation state of the output shaft 4, for example, a minute opening degree from the state of starting water filling in FIG. 5 is displayed as the rotation speed of the output shaft 4 by the rotation speed pointer unit 31 and the minute opening degree. It can be displayed by the amount of rotation of the input shaft 3 by the unit 32.

前述した減速機2が搭載されるバルブ本体1は、主に水道配管に配設されて初期充水に用いられ、図示しないが、ステム7の中心からオフセットされた単偏心形構造になっている。ステム7には弁体が取付けられ、この弁体の外周面には複数の櫛歯状の溝が形成されている。弁体の回転時には、櫛歯状溝を介して弁箱に形成された弁座面との隙間が徐々に広がることで、極小開度から小開度までの間に初期充水に適したなだらかな流量変化特性を発揮する領域が設けられる。ステムには前記減速機2が接続され、この減速機2を介して微小開度を表示可能に設けられる。 The valve body 1 on which the speed reducer 2 described above is mounted is mainly arranged in a water pipe and used for initial water filling, and has a unieccentric structure offset from the center of the stem 7, although not shown. .. A valve body is attached to the stem 7, and a plurality of comb-shaped grooves are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the valve body. When the valve body rotates, the gap between the valve seat surface and the valve seat surface formed in the valve box through the comb-shaped groove gradually widens, so that the gentleness suitable for initial water filling is between the minimum opening and the small opening. A region is provided that exhibits various flow rate change characteristics. The speed reducer 2 is connected to the stem, and a minute opening degree can be displayed via the speed reducer 2.

バルブ本体1は、例えば、充水時の目標流速が0.5m/sに設定され、この目標流速を満足するために、水の圧力7.5Kのときに弁開度15%、圧力4Kのときに弁開度20%、圧力1Kのときに弁開度25%となるバルブ容量になっている。減速機2は、これらに対応した微小開度表示機能を有し、この減速機2により微小開度を調整しつつ弁開操作することで、水の圧力に対応した目標弁開度を調整可能になり、目標となる流速0.5m/sで通水可能に設けられる。充水時の目標流速は適宜設定され、この目標流速に応じて目盛等を変更可能になっている。 For example, in the valve body 1, the target flow velocity at the time of filling is set to 0.5 m / s, and in order to satisfy this target flow velocity, the valve opening is 15% and the pressure is 4K when the water pressure is 7.5K. The valve capacity is sometimes 20% and the valve opening is 25% when the pressure is 1K. The speed reducer 2 has a minute opening display function corresponding to these, and the target valve opening corresponding to the water pressure can be adjusted by operating the valve opening while adjusting the minute opening with the speed reducer 2. Therefore, water can be passed at a target flow velocity of 0.5 m / s. The target flow velocity at the time of filling is appropriately set, and the scale and the like can be changed according to the target flow velocity.

なお、全開度表示部23や回転数表示部22、微小開度表示部32をなす各目盛は、使用圧力に応じた充水に適した水量の領域を表示するように適宜設定可能である。このため、これら表示部位が設けられた減速機2を、バルブ本体1の充水開始位置や口径が異なる場合、或は、単偏心形構造以外の偏心形バタフライ弁や、軸芯バタフライ弁など各種の回転弁に適用でき、更には、回転弁以外のバルブにも利用することもできる。 Each scale forming the full opening degree display unit 23, the rotation speed display unit 22, and the minute opening degree display unit 32 can be appropriately set so as to display a region of the amount of water suitable for filling according to the working pressure. For this reason, the speed reducer 2 provided with these display parts may have a different filling start position or diameter of the valve body 1, or an eccentric butterfly valve other than the single eccentric structure, a shaft core butterfly valve, or the like. It can be applied to rotary valves of the above, and can also be used for valves other than rotary valves.

前述した回転調整手段は、回転数表示部側、或は開度表示部側の何れか一方に設けられていればよく、又はこれら双方に設けられていてもよい。本実施形態における回転調整手段の「回転調整」とは、入力軸や出力軸の軸心に対して回転して調整可能であることを意味している。 The rotation adjusting means described above may be provided on either the rotation speed display unit side or the opening degree display unit side, or may be provided on both of them. The "rotation adjustment" of the rotation adjustment means in the present embodiment means that the rotation adjustment means can be rotated and adjusted with respect to the axis of the input shaft and the output shaft.

続いて、前述した実施形態の回転弁の微小開度調整方法並びに作用を説明する。
図4において、予め、微小開度の調整前には、減速機2上面に銘板33(全開度表示部23)、入力軸3にキャップ6をそれぞれ取付けておく。また、指針21が出力軸4と同期回転するように、この指針21を出力軸4側の開度軸52に取付ける。微小開度表示部32が記された表示部材20は、インジケータ55の上面に一体に固着する。回転数表示部22が記された扇状部材41は、ねじ51により長孔50を介して減速機2上面に位置調節可能に仮止めする。
Subsequently, the method and operation of adjusting the minute opening degree of the rotary valve according to the above-described embodiment will be described.
In FIG. 4, a name plate 33 (total opening degree display unit 23) is attached to the upper surface of the speed reducer 2 and a cap 6 is attached to the input shaft 3 in advance before adjusting the minute opening degree. Further, the pointer 21 is attached to the opening shaft 52 on the output shaft 4 side so that the pointer 21 rotates synchronously with the output shaft 4. The display member 20 on which the minute opening degree display unit 32 is marked is integrally fixed to the upper surface of the indicator 55. The fan-shaped member 41 on which the rotation speed display unit 22 is marked is temporarily fixed to the upper surface of the speed reducer 2 via a long hole 50 by a screw 51 so that the position can be adjusted.

この状態で、先ず、キャップ6(入力軸3)を操作してバルブを全閉状態にし、出力軸4と同期回転する指針21の全開度指針部30を、全開度表示部23の始点位置(0の位置)に、回転弁の全閉状態(弁体開度が0°、弁体の回転数0%の状態)で位置合わせする。これにより、全開度指針部30は、出力軸4とともに全開度表示部23の略0°〜90°の範囲内を回転するようになる。 In this state, first, the cap 6 (input shaft 3) is operated to fully close the valve, and the full opening pointer portion 30 of the pointer 21 that rotates synchronously with the output shaft 4 is placed at the start point position of the full opening display unit 23 ( Align to the 0 position) with the rotary valve fully closed (the valve body opening degree is 0 ° and the valve body rotation speed is 0%). As a result, the full opening pointer unit 30 rotates together with the output shaft 4 within a range of approximately 0 ° to 90 ° of the full opening display unit 23.

次いで、図5において、バルブ本体1に水圧を負荷した状態で、入力軸3を通水開始位置まで開方向に回転し、全開度指針部30を全開度表示部23の始点位置から充水開始位置まで進める。
この状態で、入力軸3と同期して回転する微小開度表示部32の始点位置を指針21の回転数指針部31に合わせるように、フリーの状態のインジケータ55をキャップ6に対して回転させ、止めねじ61を締めてインジケータ55(微小開度表示部32)を入力軸3(キャップ6)に固定する。
Next, in FIG. 5, with the valve body 1 loaded with water pressure, the input shaft 3 is rotated in the opening direction to the water passage start position, and the full opening pointer unit 30 is filled with water from the start point position of the full opening display unit 23. Advance to the position.
In this state, the free indicator 55 is rotated with respect to the cap 6 so that the start point position of the minute opening display unit 32 that rotates in synchronization with the input shaft 3 is aligned with the rotation speed pointer unit 31 of the pointer 21. , The set screw 61 is tightened to fix the indicator 55 (small opening degree display unit 32) to the input shaft 3 (cap 6).

このバルブ本体1の漏れ出し開始状態で、図6に示すように、回転数表示部22の始点位置である表示指針部42を、回転数指針部31に位置合わせした状態の微小開度表示部32の始点位置である始点表示部60に合わせるように、扇状部材41を銘板33に対して調整し、この扇状部材41をねじ51で長孔50を介して減速機2上面(銘板33)に固定する。これにより、回転数表示部22の表示指針部42を微小開度表示部32の始点表示部60に合わせ、これら表示指針部42、始点表示部60と、回転数指針部31とを、通水開始状態(充水開始状態)において一直線上に並ばせることにより、充水開始位置を入力軸3の回転数が0となる始点位置としてリセットし、この状態から回転数表示部22、微小開度表示部32の回転状態を視認して微小開度を正確に表示可能となる。 As shown in FIG. 6, in the state where the valve body 1 starts leaking, the display pointer unit 42, which is the starting point position of the rotation speed display unit 22, is aligned with the rotation speed pointer unit 31. The fan-shaped member 41 is adjusted with respect to the name plate 33 so as to match the start point display unit 60 which is the start point position of 32, and the fan-shaped member 41 is screwed 51 to the upper surface of the speed reducer 2 (name plate 33) via the elongated hole 50. Fix it. As a result, the display pointer unit 42 of the rotation speed display unit 22 is aligned with the start point display unit 60 of the minute opening display unit 32, and the display pointer unit 42, the start point display unit 60, and the rotation speed pointer unit 31 are passed through water. By arranging them in a straight line in the start state (filling start state), the filling start position is reset as the start point position where the rotation speed of the input shaft 3 becomes 0, and from this state, the rotation speed display unit 22 and the minute opening degree are set. The minute opening can be accurately displayed by visually recognizing the rotational state of the display unit 32.

このとき、長孔50とねじ51とを介して扇状部材41を減速機2上面に取付けていることで回転数表示部22の位置調整が容易となり、かつ、バルブ本体1の漏れ出し開始位置が変化した場合であっても、扇状部材41の取付け位置を変更することで簡単に充水開始位置をリセットできる。 At this time, since the fan-shaped member 41 is attached to the upper surface of the speed reducer 2 via the elongated hole 50 and the screw 51, the position of the rotation speed display unit 22 can be easily adjusted, and the leakage start position of the valve body 1 is set. Even if it changes, the water filling start position can be easily reset by changing the mounting position of the fan-shaped member 41.

図7においては、図6の減速機2のキャップ6を弁閉方向に回転した状態を示している。この場合、全開度指針部30が全開度表示部23の弁閉状態である「0」を示し、一方、回転数指針部31は、回転数表示部22の表示指針部42(始点となる0の位置)よりもマイナス位置を指し示す。この回転数表示部22の状態により、入力軸3が充水開始状態に達していないことを確認できる。 FIG. 7 shows a state in which the cap 6 of the speed reducer 2 of FIG. 6 is rotated in the valve closing direction. In this case, the full opening pointer unit 30 indicates “0” in the valve closed state of the full opening display unit 23, while the rotation speed guide unit 31 is the display pointer unit 42 (starting point 0) of the rotation speed display unit 22. Point to a minus position rather than the position of). From the state of the rotation speed display unit 22, it can be confirmed that the input shaft 3 has not reached the water filling start state.

図8においては、減速機2の操作例として、図6の減速機2の入力軸3を充水開始状態から操作して、出力軸4が充水開始の位置から入力軸3を1回転半した状態を示している。この場合、回転数指針部31が、表示指針部42から回転数表示部22の目盛の「1」と「2」との間にあることで出力軸4が1回転以上2回転未満であることを確認でき、表示指針部42の位置に微小開度表示部32の目盛の「8」が位置していることで、入力軸3が8/16回転、すなわち半回転していることを確認できる。よって、これらの出力軸4側の回転数指針部31、入力軸3側の微小開度表示部32の回転状態から、出力軸4が充水開始状態の段階から入力軸3を1回転半したことを視認できる。このとき、表示指針部42を基準に回転数指針部31、微小開度表示部32の目盛を確認すればよいため、視認性に優れている。 In FIG. 8, as an operation example of the speed reducer 2, the input shaft 3 of the speed reducer 2 of FIG. 6 is operated from the water filling start state, and the output shaft 4 rotates the input shaft 3 one and a half revolutions from the water filling start position. Shows the state of In this case, the rotation speed pointer unit 31 is located between the display pointer unit 42 and the scales "1" and "2" of the rotation speed display unit 22, so that the output shaft 4 has one or more rotations and less than two rotations. By locating the scale "8" of the minute opening display unit 32 at the position of the display pointer unit 42, it can be confirmed that the input shaft 3 rotates 8/16, that is, half a rotation. .. Therefore, from the rotational state of the rotation speed pointer unit 31 on the output shaft 4 side and the minute opening display unit 32 on the input shaft 3 side, the input shaft 3 is rotated one and a half turns from the stage when the output shaft 4 is in the water filling start state. You can see that. At this time, since it is sufficient to check the scales of the rotation speed pointer unit 31 and the minute opening degree display unit 32 with reference to the display pointer unit 42, the visibility is excellent.

以上のように、本発明の微小開度表示機能付き回転弁は、入力軸3と出力軸4とを有する減速機2に、出力軸4の開度を示す全開度表示部23と全開度指針部30とを設け、入力軸3側には、この入力軸3の弁体開度を微小開度範囲で表示する微小開度表示部32、減速機2には、さらに入力軸3の回転数を表示する回転数表示部22と、回転数指針部31とを設けていることにより、充水開始時には、全開度指針部30が全開度表示部23の充水開始位置まで回転した状態で、この充水開始状態の出力軸4に入力軸3の回転を同期させるように調整し、充水開始時からの微小開度を回転数指針部31により回転数表示部22に正確かつ高精度に指し示すことができる。 As described above, in the rotary valve with the minute opening display function of the present invention, the speed reducer 2 having the input shaft 3 and the output shaft 4 has a full opening display unit 23 indicating the opening degree of the output shaft 4 and a full opening guideline. A unit 30 is provided, a minute opening display unit 32 that displays the valve body opening degree of the input shaft 3 in a minute opening range is provided on the input shaft 3 side, and a rotation speed of the input shaft 3 is further provided on the speed reducer 2. By providing the rotation speed display unit 22 and the rotation speed pointer unit 31 for displaying the above, at the start of water filling, the full opening pointer unit 30 is rotated to the water filling start position of the full opening display unit 23. The output shaft 4 in the water filling start state is adjusted so that the rotation of the input shaft 3 is synchronized, and the minute opening from the start of water filling is accurately and highly accurately displayed on the rotation speed display unit 22 by the rotation speed pointer unit 31. Can point.

この場合、前記したように、回転数指針部31と回転数表示部22とで、充水開始時からの入力軸3の回転数、微小開度表示部32と回転数表示部22とで、出力軸4の1回転分に満たない入力軸3側の回転を確認することにより、充水開始時からの開度を正確に外部に表示できる。しかも、出力軸4の回転数、入力軸3の回転量は、ともに表示指針部42が基準になっていることから、回転数指針部31と微小開度表示部32(始点表示部60)との位置ずれを防止し、充水開始時より正確に出力軸を回転制御できる。これにより充水時の作業性も高まる。 In this case, as described above, the rotation speed pointer unit 31 and the rotation speed display unit 22 use the rotation speed of the input shaft 3 from the start of water filling, the minute opening display unit 32, and the rotation speed display unit 22. By confirming the rotation of the input shaft 3 side that is less than one rotation of the output shaft 4, the opening degree from the start of filling can be accurately displayed to the outside. Moreover, since the rotation speed of the output shaft 4 and the rotation amount of the input shaft 3 are both based on the display pointer unit 42, the rotation speed pointer unit 31 and the minute opening display unit 32 (start point display unit 60) It is possible to prevent misalignment of the output shaft and control the rotation of the output shaft more accurately than when filling the water. As a result, workability at the time of filling is also improved.

表示指針部42に対する回転数指針部31、微小開度表示部32の視認性が高いことから、作業者が全開度の表示と微小開度の表示とを混同するおそれもなく、回転数表示部22の始点位置が表示指針部42として微小開度表示部32の指針になることで、微小開度用の指針を別途設けることがなく、必要最小限の部品点数で表示部位を構成できる。 Since the rotation speed pointer unit 31 and the minute opening display unit 32 are highly visible with respect to the display pointer unit 42, there is no risk of the operator confusing the display of the total opening degree with the display of the minute opening degree, and the rotation speed display unit Since the start point position of 22 serves as the pointer of the minute opening display unit 32 as the display pointer unit 42, the display portion can be configured with the minimum number of parts necessary without separately providing a pointer for the minute opening.
