A check valve has support pieces of a valve body protruding in the valve body direction on a circular base seat forming an outflow window in the center inserted in a circular groove where a support member (retainer) is formed between an outflow opening and a valve seat and on an open edge of the outflow window formed in the center of the base seat, and the support pieces of the support member (retainer) that support the valve body have linear or planar support parts on the top portion for leveling at least in a radial direction of the base seat.
Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/058,233, filed Aug. 8, 2018, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/655,838, filed Jul. 20, 2017, now U.S. Pat. No. 10,072,616, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/803,522, filed Jul. 20, 2015, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,739,236, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
- The present invention relates to a check valve used in a fuel passage of a carburetor for the purpose of, for example, preventing reverse flow of fuel.
- Check valves that allow fluid to flow out in only one direction and prevent the reverse flow have been known in the past, and various types such as a ball type, swing type, lift type, and disk type according to the structure of a valve have been known. A purpose of the check valve is to prevent the reverse flow of fluid, and since overall the body is not complicated, such as the disk type, it can be provided at a low cost, is easily installed in the middle of a tubular body, and therefore it is suitable for disposing, for example, in a fuel passage of a carburetor or the like.
- Further, a disk type check valve forms an inflow opening and an outflow opening by a casing as described in, for example, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Nos. H10-288265 and H07-101066, and a ring-shaped valve seat is formed there between to dispose a disk-shaped valve body having a larger diameter than the outflow opening and a smaller diameter than the valve seat, that is biased in the outflow opening direction by a coil spring. When the fluid flows in from the inflow opening at a pressure exceeding the biasing force of the coil spring, the valve body slides in the outflow opening direction by a large pressing force larger than the biasing force of the coil spring acting on the valve body so that the fluid that is coming in from the inflow opening through a gap which is formed on the outer periphery of the valve body in the valve seat, flows out. Conversely, when the fluid reverse flows from the outflow opening direction, the valve body slides in the inflow opening direction by the biasing force of the coil spring to close the inflow opening so as to prevent the reverse flow of the fluid.
- A check valve using a further simple disk-shaped valve body described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application No. 2010-60110 has also been known. This
check valve 330, as illustrated inFIG. 5A , is configured such that avalve body 332 and avalve seat 336 are inserted to attach in avalve holder 320, and assembled by engaging a projectingpart 324 to agroove 338 of thevalve body 332. With thischeck valve 330, as illustrated inFIG. 5B , thevalve body 332 becomes an open state by abutting onto avalve stopper 326 made from a curved longitudinal beam member, and also becomes a close state by abutting thevalve body 332 onto avalve seat 336 by reverse direction pressure. - Therefore, there is a large difference in the check valves described in Patent Application Nos. H10-288265 and H07-101066 in that an advantageous effect is exhibited with a simple structure without using means for pressing the valve body against the valve seat, for example, such as a coil spring.
- Furthermore, a check valve illustrated in
FIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C is a conventionally known check valve having a further simpler configuration than the check valve that exhibits the similar advantageous effect with a simple structure without using biasing means illustrated inFIGS. 5A and 5B . It is configured such that acase body 1 made of, for example, aluminum die cast, with a cylindrical inflow opening 2 and anoutflow opening 3 formed respectively in both ends, as well as acylindrical valve seat 4, having a predetermined length, is formed in the axial direction between the inflow opening 2 and the outflow opening 3A disk-shaped valve body 5 with an outer diameter having a slightly smaller diameter than the inner diameter of thevalve seat 4 as well as a larger diameter than the inner diameter of the inflow opening 2, is disposed with an ability to move in the axial direction of thevalve seat 4, and a support member (retainer) 6 for thevalve body 5 that is disposed between theoutflow opening 3 of thevalve seat 4 and thevalve body 5. - Moreover, the support member (retainer) 6 is configured as illustrated in
FIGS. 7, 8A, 8B and 8C where a disc-shaped base seat 61 that forms anoutflow window 62 in the center is fit into a circular circumferential groove formed between theoutflow opening 3 and thevalve seat 4 as illustrated inFIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C .Support pieces 64 for thevalve body 5 illustrated inFIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C are provided in an upwardly projecting manner (thevalve body 5 direction) in anopen edge 63 of theoutlet window 62 formed in the center of thebase 61, as illustrated inFIGS. 7, 8A, 8B and 8C . - Also, in a check valve according to the present embodiment, as illustrated in
FIG. 6A , a predetermined gap 41 is formed between thetop surface 43 of thevalve seat 4 and thevalve body 5 because thevalve body 5 disposed in thevalve seat 4 is pressed in the outflow opening 3 direction by the fluid normally entering from the inflow opening 2 to be supported by thesupport pieces 64 of the support member (retainer) 6. - Accordingly, the fluid entered from the inflow opening 2 flows towards the
outflow opening 3 from theinflow window 62 of the support member (retainer) 6 via aspace 42 formed between an innerperipheral surface 44 of thevalve seat 4 and thesupport piece 64 from the gap 41. - When the flow of the fluid changes in this condition, in other words, when the fluid that has been flowing toward the outflow opening 3 flows in reverse and flows in the direction of the inflow opening 2, the
open end 21 of the inflow opening 2 is closed by moving thevalve body 5 in the axial direction within thevalve seat 4 because the fluid that has been flowing toward the outflow opening 3 flows in reverse to operate the check valve. That is, as illustrated inFIG. 6B , thevalve body 5 tightly contacts theopen end 21 area of the inflow opening 2 of thevalve seat 4 due to the fluid pressure of the reverse flow and the check valve becomes the close state. - Japanese Unexamined Patent Application No. H10-288265
- Japanese Examined Patent Application No. H07-101066
- Japanese Unexamined Patent Application No. 2010-60110
- However, the conventionally known support member (retainer) 6 is, for example, machine pressed in a metal circular plate of an appropriate thickness and formed with
support pieces 64 for supporting the center of theoutflow window 62 and thevalve body 5. Particularly, the tip ends of thesupport pieces 64 exhibit a horseshoe shape by bending the side surface upward. As a result, the support member (retainer 6) supports thevalve body 5 in a point contact state by respective tip ends of eachsupport piece 64. - Accordingly, the
valve body 5 is not supported by the support member (retainer) 6 in a stable state, and a protruding position of eachsupport piece 64 on the support member (retainer) 6 is in a position separated from the innercircumferential surface 44 of thevalve seat 4. Because there is a large range of play in thevalve body 5, when a fluid is applied to thevalve body 5 at a pressure biased, for example, in a direction toward theoutflow opening 3 with respect to the installation direction, thevalve body 5 will tilt to an angle where one end of thevalve body 5 is deeply inserted into aspace 42 positioned between the innercircumferential surface 44 of thevalve seat 4 and each of thesupport pieces 64 as shown inFIG. 6C . Therefore, thevalve body 5 gets stuck due to the three (3) points of contact with the innercircumferential surface 44 of thevalve seat 4, each of thesupport pieces 64, and thetop portion 43 of thevalve seat 4, and as a result, there is a problem in that a state which inhibits the opening and closing action of the check valve is induced. - To resolve the above problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a check valve that can prevent sticking of a valve body and reliably perform an opening and closing action of a check valve having a simple structure and that does not use biasing means on the valve body as conventionally known.
- To resolve the above problems, the present invention is a check valve including: a case body in which a cylindrically shaped valve seat with a cylindrically shaped inflow opening and outlet opening formed respectively on each end and having an inner diameter larger than the inflow opening, and having a predetermined length in an axial direction formed between the inflow opening and the outlet opening; a disk shaped valve body having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the valve seat and disposed with the ability to move in an axial direction of the valve seat by a larger diameter than the inner diameter of the outflow opening; a support member (retainer) of the valve body disposed between the valve body and the outlet opening of the valve seat; and a plurality of support pieces of the support member (retainer) protruded in the valve body direction on a disk shaped base seat are formed centrally on an open edge of an outflow window formed in the center of the base seat, where the support member (retainer) is inserted in a circular groove formed between the outflow opening and a valve seat; wherein each of the plurality of support pieces of the support member (retainer) supporting the valve body has a linear or planar support part on the top portion for leveling of the base seat at least in a radial direction.
- Because each support piece of a support member (retainer) supporting a valve body has a linear or planar support part on the top portion for leveling at least in a radial direction of the base seat, the valve body, when in a released state, can be supported in a stable state to prevent the generation of chattering, can narrow the gap between the support part and the inner circumferential surface of the valve seat to reduce the space formed between the support piece, and can prevent sticking by the valve body by reducing the range of play in the valve body.
- Further, in the present invention, when integrally forming the support member (retainer) from a plate member, each support piece forms a linear support part on the top portion for leveling the valve body at least in a radial direction of the base seat by raising the support piece so as to face in a direction that intersects a direction toward a center point instead of the method of raising a support piece toward a center point used conventionally.
- With the present invention, not only can a support member (retainer) be formed from the same material and process as used conventionally, but because the valve body can be prevented from sticking, a check valve having higher reliability can be provided in a simple structure similar to that used conventionally.
- Moreover, in contrast to the support member (retainer) in the conventional technique where contact with the valve body is in point contact because the contact location with the valve body, i.e. the protruding top portion, is a curved surface, the support member (retainer) of the present invention includes a flat protruding top portion as the contact location with the valve body, and therefore, contact with the valve body is planar contact which enables stability when holding the valve body.
- Therefore, the valve body can move vertically while remaining parallel to the valve seat, and in performing that function, achieve an excellent effect not available conventionally.

-
FIGS. 1A, 1B and 1C illustrate vertical cross-sectional views of a preferred embodiment of a check valve which is the present invention. The overall configuration is substantially similar to that of the conventional technique shown inFIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C and is configured in that an inflow opening 2 and anoutflow opening 3 are formed in a cylindrical shape on both ends, respectively, and include: acase body 1 made of, for example, an aluminum die cast forming a cylindrically shapedvalve seat 4 having a predetermined length in an axial direction between the inflow opening 2 and theoutflow opening 3; a disk shapedvalve body 5 having an outer diameter slightly smaller than the inner diameter of thevalve seat 4 and disposed with the ability to move in an axial direction of thevalve seat 4 due to a larger diameter than the inner diameter of the inflow opening 2; and a support member (retainer) 6 for thevalve body 5 disposed between theoutflow opening 3 of thevalve seat 4 and thevalve body 5. - Further, the support member (retainer) 6, as illustrated in
FIGS. 2, 3A, 3B and 3C , is provided with protrudingsupport pieces 64 on the support member (retainer) 6 shown inFIGS. 1A, 1B and 1C protruding upward (valve body 5 direction) standing (90° in this embodiment) at mutually equivalent angles from the center on a circular plate shapedbase seat 61 forming anoutflow window 62 in the center on anopen edge 63 of theoutflow window 62 formed in the center of thebase seat 61 and inserted in a circular groove formed between thevalve seat 4 and theoutflow opening 3 of the check valve shown inFIGS. 1A, 1B and 1C . - Further, with the support member (retainer) 6 as illustrated in
FIGS. 2, 3A, 3B and 3C , eachsupport piece 64 of the support member (retainer) 6 supporting thevalve body 5 has a linear (or planar) support part on the top portion for leveling thevalve body 5 at least in a radial direction of thebase seat 61. - Note that, the support member (retainer) 6 in this embodiment, similar to the embodiment shown in
FIGS. 7, 8A, 8B and 8C , hassupport pieces 64 to support thevalve body 5, formed by being cut out, on theopen edge 63 of theoutflow window 62 of thecircular base seat 61 having afluid outflow window 62 with a predetermined diameter in the center formed by, for example, punching a metal plate such as brass or the like having an appropriate thickness, and thesupport pieces 64 are erected by bending in an intersecting direction with thebase seat 61. Particularly, because thesupport pieces 64 are raised in a direction to intersect with a radial direction of thebase seat 61 rather than in the radial direction, thesupport pieces 64 have a linear (or planar) support part on the top portion for leveling thevalve body 5 at least in a radial direction of thebase seat 61. - In this embodiment, using the support member (retainer) 6 configured in this manner, as shown in
FIG. 1A , thevalve body 5 is supported by thesupport pieces 64 of the support member (retainer) 6 due to fluid flowing in from the inflow opening 2 pressing thevalve body 5 disposed in thevalve seat 4 in a direction toward theoutflow opening 3. The fluid flowing out to theoutflow opening 3 from theoutflow window 62 of the support member (retainer) 6 via thespace 42 formed between thesupport pieces 64 and the innercircumferential surface 44 of thevalve seat 4 and from the gap 41 formed between thetop surface 43 of thevalve seat 4 and thevalve body 5. - At this time, in this embodiment, the
support piece 64 of the support member (retainer) 6 is in a shape that extends in the radial direction of thebase seat 61, and instead of point contact against thevalve body 5 as in the conventionally known check valve shown inFIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C , thesupport piece 64 supports thevalve body 5 with at least a linear contact such that thevalve body 5 does not tilt or deflect and can move oscillating in thevalve seat 4 in an axial direction in an extremely stable disposition reliably thereby preventing tilt and deflection by thevalve body 5. - Further, in this embodiment, as illustrated in
FIG. 1B , when fluid having flowed through theoutflow opening 3 flows in reverse toward the inflow opening 2, the check valve operates so that the fluid having flowed toward theoutflow opening 3 flows in reverse through thevalve seat 4 and moves thevalve body 5 in an axial direction in thevalve seat 4 to block theopen end 21 of the inflow opening 2, placing the check valve in a closed state by thevalve body 5 tightly contacting theopen end 21 area of the inflow opening 2 of thevalve seat 4 by the fluid pressure of the reverse flowing fluid. Because thevalve body 5 is supported by the support member (retainer) 6 in a stable state prior to the reverse flow, even if there is a reverse flow, thevalve body 5 moves toward the inflow opening 2 in a state still retaining a flat disposition. - Moreover, as illustrated in
FIG. 1C , with this embodiment, thespace 42 formed between eachsupport piece 64 of thesupport member 6 and the innercircumferential surface 44 of thevalve seat 4 is narrower than the conventionally known check valve shown in FIGS. 6A, 6B and 6C, and therefore, the range of play in thevalve body 5 is reduced and sticking, as in the conventionally known check valve, does not occur even if thevalve body 5 tilts for some reason while open. - In addition,
FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate a different embodiment of the support member (retainer) 6 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the entirety of the support member (retainer) 6 is formed of, for example, an injection molding using a hard synthetic resin material, and because this does not require a step to machine fold thesupport piece 64, working is easier and a more stable item can be provided. Particularly, it is possible to form the support part of thesupport piece 64 flat with a wider width than the thickness of the material in the previous example embodiment to thereby employ a more stable support member (retainer) 6. - In this manner, the support member (retainer) 6 used in the embodiments is not limited in material or method of manufacture, and as long as the
support piece 64 erected on thebase seat 61 is formed in a linear or planar shape having a length in a radial direction to thebase seat 61, the effect can be demonstrated. - All features, elements, components, functions, and steps described with respect to any embodiment provided herein are intended to be freely combinable and substitutable with those from any other embodiment. If a certain feature, element, component, function, or step is described with respect to only one embodiment, then it should be understood that that feature, element, component, function, or step can be used with every other embodiment described herein unless explicitly stated otherwise. This paragraph therefore serves as antecedent basis and written support for the introduction of claims, at any time, that combine features, elements, components, functions, and steps from different embodiments, or that substitute features, elements, components, functions, and steps from one embodiment with those of another, even if the following description does not explicitly state, in a particular instance, that such combinations or substitutions are possible.
