Next, the operation will be described. When no current is supplied to the electromagnetic coil 1, no magnetic field is generated in the iron core 2, so the permanent magnet 3 is attracted to the iron core 2. Therefore, the valve element 5 holding and holding the permanent magnet 3 is pulled upward with the iron core 2.

[0007] The valve rubber 4 attached to the valve element 5 is pressed against the valve seat 11. Further, since the spring 12 provided at the lower portion of the valve body 5 pushes the valve body 5 upward, the seal between the valve rubber 4 and the valve seat 11 is further strengthened, and a function of closing gas can be provided.

When a current is supplied to the electromagnetic coil 1, a magnetic field is generated in the iron core 2 to push the valve rubber 4 downward. The strength of the generated magnetic field changes depending on the strength of the supplied current.
The permanent magnet 3 has a magnetic field that constantly pushes the valve rubber 4 upward. The magnetic field generated by the electromagnetic coil 1 and the permanent magnet 3
Is in the direction of repulsion, so that the valve body 5 to which the permanent magnet 3 is attached moves downward when the magnetic field of the electromagnetic coil 1 becomes stronger.

At this time, the valve rubber 4 also moves downward, so that a gap is formed between the valve seat 11 and the gas to flow. Electromagnetic coil 1
As the intensity of the current flowing through the valve becomes stronger, the generated magnetic field becomes stronger, the permanent magnet 3 repels and the valve element 5 moves downward, the distance between the valve rubber 4 and the valve seat 11 increases, and more gas flows. .

The valve rubber 4 is separated from the valve body 5 by a valve spring 8.
Has been pressed down. If the valve rubber 4 is forcibly fixed by another method in which it is simply compressed and fixed by a plate or the like, the valve rubber 4 is deformed more than it is pressed by the valve spring 8, and the angle of the contact portion with the valve seat 11 changes, or the eccentricity changes. Often do. Then, when the valve rubber 4 separates from the valve seat 11, a gap is not uniformly opened or a state where only a part of the gap is in contact.

FIG. 9 is a graph showing the relationship between the current of the electromagnetic coil 1 and the secondary pressure of the gas. Forcibly fixing increases the hysteresis in the relationship between the current of the electromagnetic coil 1 and the gas secondary pressure. In other words, if the current of the electromagnetic coil 1 is gradually increased, the gas secondary pressure will not be the same gas secondary pressure when the gas secondary pressure is lowered at a lower level than the steady state, and will be higher than the steady state. And the hysteresis, which is the difference between them, increases.

If the valve rubber 4 is not fixed, the valve rubber 4
Moves freely up and down on the valve body 5, so that even if a constant current is supplied, the distance between the valve rubber 4 and the valve seat 11 is not constant. Therefore, even if the current of the same electromagnetic coil 1 is the same, the gas flow rate changes. Therefore, the reason why the valve rubber 4 is pressed by the valve spring 8 is that the valve rubber 4 can be fixed with an appropriate strength so as not to be constantly deformed by the same pressure and to move on the valve body 5.

During non-combustion, both the solenoid valve 13 and the proportional control valve are closed to shut off gas. Then, gas is confined in the gas passage 14 between the solenoid valve 13 and the valve seat 11 of the proportional control valve. After a lapse of time, this gas is released to the upper part which communicates with the atmosphere through the diaphragm 6, and the internal pressure gradually decreases to reduce the pressure.

The gas has the property of passing rubber, and this phenomenon occurs because the diaphragm 6 is made of rubber. When the pressure is reduced, the diaphragm 6 is left in a state of being pulled downward, and the upward bulge 6a collapses downward and deforms. Receiving bracket 7 whose diaphragm 6 is freely deformed
When there is no pressure, the tightening force of the valve rubber 4 is strong, and even if a predetermined current is applied to the electromagnetic coil 1, the distance between the valve seat 11 and the valve rubber 4 becomes small, the gas flow rate decreases, and the minimum combustion occurs. Occasionally, the amount of combustion decreases and the gas burner goes out. Therefore, even if the diaphragm 6 is pulled downward, the deformation is prevented by the receiving fitting 7.

In FIG. 8, the pressure reduction in the gas passage is ΔP, the diameter of the valve seat 11 is Dv, the outer diameter of the receiving fitting 11 is Dp,
The upward force of the spring 12 and the permanent magnet 3 is F.
When the pressure is reduced, the diaphragm 6 is pulled downward,
The valve rubber 4 has a portion of the area in contact with the valve seat 11 (πDv
2/4) is pulled upward. Equivalent area area and the receiving metal 7 which receives the pressure of the diaphragm 6 deforms downward (πDp 2/4) becomes larger than the area of the valve seat 11. Therefore, the valve opening pressure decrease ΔP at which the valve rubber 4 separates from the valve seat 11 is expressed by the following equation.

The force acting in the downward direction becomes stronger than the force acting in the upward direction, and the valve element 5 moves downward. Although the valve rubber 4 is pressed against the valve body 5 by the valve spring 8, the pressure reduction ΔP is stronger than the force pressed by the valve spring 8. Therefore, even if the valve body 5 is lowered, the valve rubber 4 holds the valve spring 8. Pressing remains in contact with the valve seat 11. As a result, a gap is not opened, and decompression is further promoted.

However, the conventional proportional control device has a problem that even if the gas in the gas passage 14 is released and the pressure is reduced, there is no means for eliminating the pressure reduction, and the pressure reduction phenomenon proceeds. In this case, the diaphragm 6 is pulled downward by a strong pressure even if the metal fitting 7 is present, so that a part of the diaphragm 6 is deformed.

Further, the decompression causes a phenomenon that the valve rubber 4 gets stuck in the valve seat 11, and the valve does not open even when the electromagnetic coil 1 is energized, so that gas cannot flow.

In FIG. 2, the pressure in the gas passage is represented by ΔP, the diameter of the valve seat 11 is represented by Dp, the outer diameter of the metal fitting 11 is represented by Dp, and the upward force of the spring 12 and the permanent magnet 3 is represented by F. When the pressure is reduced, the diaphragm 6 is pulled downward, and the valve rubber 4 is brought into contact with the valve seat 11 in the area (πDv 2
/ 4) is pulled upward. Equivalent area area and the receiving metal 7 which receives the pressure of the diaphragm 6 deforms downward (πDp 2/4) becomes larger than the area of the valve seat 11. Therefore, the valve opening pressure decrease ΔP at which the valve rubber 4 separates from the valve seat 11 is expressed by the following equation.

Even if the gas is left for a long time after the gas is used and the gas is released from the diaphragm and the pressure in the gas passage is reduced,
Since the gap between the spacer and the valve rubber is very small, the valve rubber is pushed downward by the spacer and separates from the valve seat, and a gap is generated to reduce the pressure reduction. Therefore, deformation of the diaphragm is prevented, and a predetermined amount of gas can be obtained by supplying a predetermined current to the electromagnetic coil. In particular, even in the minimum combustion controlled by the minute gap, the gas flow rate does not decrease and the extinguishing can be prevented.
