- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a thermal deformation example of the housing 10 and shows a portion where the stress is large in a dark color.
- the bearing portion 18a shown in FIG. 3A is a cylinder having an inner diameter of 8.0 (the unit is all [mm]). It is estimated that the maximum outer diameter at which the shaft 20 is not fixed and sliding is not deteriorated is 6.4 when a coaxial shift occurs in the bearing holders 16 and 17 (not shown). Therefore, in order to avoid sticking and deterioration of sliding, the normal clearance between the bearing portions 18a and 19a of the shaft 20 needs to be 1.6 at a minimum.
- the bearing portions 18b and 19b shown in FIG. 3B have a cylindrical shape in which the inner diameter on the side far from the fluid passages 11 and 12 is 8.0, and the inner diameter gradually increases as the fluid passages 11 and 12 are approached. It is.

Therefore, the clearance can be set as small as 1.1. Therefore, shaft leakage can be suppressed as compared with the case of FIG.
- the shape of the bearing portions 18c and 19c can reduce the clearance between the shaft 20 on the side closer to the fluid passages 11 and 12 when a coaxial shift occurs. It is also possible to suppress the sheet leakage that occurs through this clearance when fully closed.

Therefore, the clearance can be set as small as 0.6. Therefore, shaft leakage can be suppressed as compared with the case of FIG. 3 (b) and FIG. 3 (c) as well as FIG. 3 (a).
- the shape of the bearing portions 18d and 19d eliminates the directionality when the bearing portions 18d and 19d are installed on the bearing holding portions 16 and 17, thereby facilitating assembly work.
- FIG. 3 in order to explain easily the influence which the difference in the inner surface shape of a bearing part has on a clearance, the result of a simulation under a large numerical condition is shown.
- FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 to be described below are expressed more seriously than actual in order to show the shapes of the inner peripheral surfaces of the bearing portions 18 and 19.
- the bearing portions 18 and 19 in FIG. 1 have the same shape as the bearing portions 18d and 19d in FIG. 3D, and the actual clearance with the shaft 20 is about several ⁇ m.
- FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the spring 33 and its peripheral structure. Since the housing 10 through which the high-temperature gas is circulated becomes hot, if the spring 33 is installed directly on the housing 10, a heat sink occurs. However, if the spring 33 is installed away from the housing 10, the entire length of the butterfly valve is extended. Therefore, the influence of high heat is reduced by installing the spring holder 34 on the housing 10 and installing the spring 33 on the spring holder 34 instead of installing the spring 33 directly on the housing 10.
- the spring holder 34 includes an outer cylinder portion 35 that covers the outside of the spring 33, an inner cylinder portion 36 that covers the inside of the spring 33, and a gap between the outer cylinder portion 35 and the inner cylinder portion 36 on the side close to the fluid passage 11.

- the spring holder 34 is arrange
- a holder fixing portion 38 is formed at a position farthest from the fluid passage 11, that is, at the open end portions of the inner cylinder portion 36 and the outer cylinder portion 35.
- the spring holder 34 Since the spring holder 34 is in a state where the portions other than the holder fixing portion 38 are separated from the housing 10 (the bearing holding portion 16 and the convex portion 39), the heat of the hot gas flowing through the fluid passage 11 is directly transmitted from the housing 10. Absent. Moreover, the heat transmitted from the bearing holding part 16 to the spring 33 is suppressed by extending the inner cylinder part 36 in the axial direction.
- the spring holder 34 is a component that holds a hook (not shown) on the fixed side of the spring 33, and is less worn due to relative displacement with the spring 33.
- the other hook (not shown) of the spring 33 is held by the power transmission member 32c, and the urging force of the spring 33 is transmitted to the shaft 20 via the power transmission member 32c.
- a guide member 40 and a guide member 41 are provided as a guide for preventing the top end of the torsion spring portion of the spring 33 from falling.
- One guide member 40 is an annular member that is in sliding contact with the end portion of the spring 33, and is placed on the torsion spring portion to receive an urging force in the axial direction and is pressed against the power transmission member 32c.
- the guide member 41 is fixed to the shaft 20 with an inner diameter, and when the torsion spring part falls down, the guide member 40 slidably in contact with the torsion spring part also moves in the radial direction and contacts the guide member 41. Since the movement of the is restricted, the fall can be prevented.
- the guide member 40 and the guide member 41 are formed as separate members so that the guide member 40 in contact with the spring 33 is not directly attached to the shaft 20, thereby reducing heat transmitted from the shaft 20 to the spring 33. Furthermore, a ratchet 42 is provided on the peripheral edge of the guide member 41.
- This screw turn 42 is a peripheral wall projecting from the peripheral portion of the guide member 41 toward the fluid passage 11, and the hot gas leaked from the clearance between the shaft 20 and the bearing portion 18 is removed from the guide member 40 and the guide member 40.
- the spring 33 is also prevented from sag due to leaked gas.
- the leaked gas guided by the ratchet 42 is discharged to the outside through a gap between the bearing holder 16 and the spring holder 34.
- the mouse turn 42 is formed on the guide member 41, but may be formed on the guide member 40.
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the power transmission member 32c and its peripheral structure. Since the actuator 30 having the motor 31 has low heat resistance, it is better to reduce heat transfer from the housing 10 as much as possible. Therefore, the actuator 30 is not directly attached to the housing 10, but is attached via the heat insulating member 43.
- a stainless steel pipe having a low thermal conductivity is used as the heat insulating member 43 so that only both ends of the pipe are in contact with the housing 10 and the base plate 45. Thereby, the actuator 30 can be mounted away from the housing 10, and heat transfer from the housing 10 to the actuator 30 can be reduced.
- the surface of the housing 10 facing the actuator 30 is covered with a cover 44 so as to block the radiant heat of the housing 10 and the leaked gas.
- the cover 44 may be made of a material having high thermal conductivity to improve heat dissipation.
- holes for inserting bolts 46 are formed in the cover 44 and the base plate 45 of the actuator 30, and screw holes for fastening the bolts 46 are formed in the housing 10.
- a contact portion 47 that is one step higher is formed around the insertion hole of the cover 44, and only the contact portion 47 is in contact with the base plate 45, and other portions are separated from the base plate 45. Thereby, a gap is formed between the cover 44 and the base plate 45, and heat transfer from the cover 44 to the base plate 45 to which the actuator 30 is attached can be reduced.
- the butterfly valve includes the housing 10 provided with the fluid passages 11 and 12, and the bearing portions 18 and 19 provided at the opposing positions of the housing 10 across the fluid passages 11 and 12.
- the shaft 20 is rotatably held by the bearings 18 and 19, and the valves 21 and 22 are fixed to the shaft 20 and rotate integrally to open and close the fluid passages 11 and 12.
- the inner diameter of 19 is configured to gradually widen along the axial direction of the shaft 20. For this reason, it is possible to suppress an increase in fluid leakage while avoiding deterioration and sticking of the shaft 20 when a coaxial shift of the bearing portions 18 and 19 occurs.
- bearing portion 18c when the bearing portions 18 and 19 are formed so as to gradually expand along the axial direction of the shaft 20 so that the inner diameter near the fluid passages 11 and 12 is small and the inner diameter on the far side is large (bearing portion 18c). 19c) has the effect of suppressing leakage of the seat flowing from the upstream side to the downstream side via the clearance between the shaft 20 and the bearing portions 18 and 19 when the valve 21 or the valve 22 is fully closed. . Further, when the bearing portions 18 and 19 are formed so as to gradually expand toward both ends along the axial direction of the shaft 20 so that the inner diameter of the center portion is small and the inner diameters of both ends are large (bearing portions 18d, 19d) has the effect of facilitating assembly work in addition to the above effects.
- the butterfly valve is fixed to the shaft 20 inside the guide member 40 and the annular guide member 40 that is in sliding contact with the end of the spring 33 installed on the outer periphery of the shaft 20.
- the guide member 41 is configured such that the outer peripheral portion abuts on the inner peripheral portion of the guide member 40 and restricts the radial movement of the guide member 40, and the screw 42 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the guide member 41. For this reason, propagation of heat from the shaft 20 can be reduced while suppressing the fall of the spring 33. Moreover, since the high temperature gas leaked from the bearing portion 18 can be released in a direction not directly hitting the spring 33 by the screw return 42, the heat settling of the spring 33 can be suppressed.
- the butterfly valve is provided with the spring holder 34 that accommodates the spring 33 around the hole of the housing 10 that penetrates the end of the shaft 20.
- the inner cylinder part 36 that covers the inner side of the inner side 33, the outer cylinder part 35 that covers the outer side, and the bottom part 37 that closes the gap between the inner cylinder part 36 and the outer cylinder part 35, the inner cylinder part 36 and the outer cylinder part 35 is fixed to the convex portion 39 of the housing 10 by the holder fixing portion 38 on the open side, and the other portions are separated from the housing 10. For this reason, the heat propagated from the housing 10 to the spring 33 can be reduced.
- the butterfly valve is provided between the actuator 30 that rotationally drives the shaft 20, and between the actuator 30 and the housing 10, and the heat insulation that holds the actuator 30 in a state of being separated from the housing 10.
- the member 43 is provided. For this reason, heat transfer to the actuator 30 having low heat resistance can be reduced as much as possible.
- the butterfly valve is configured to include the cover 44 that covers the surface of the housing 10 that faces the actuator 30, so that the radiant heat and leakage gas of the housing 10 are blocked, The low actuator 30 can be protected.
- the butterfly valve is configured to provide a gap between the base plate 45 to which the actuator 30 is attached and the cover 44, so that heat transfer from the cover 44 to the actuator 30 can be reduced. it can.
- any constituent element of the embodiment can be modified or any constituent element of the embodiment can be omitted within the scope of the invention.
- Embodiment 1 described above an example in which the present invention is applied to a butterfly valve configured to open and close a fluid passage that is bifurcated by two valves fixed to a shaft has been described. You may apply to the butterfly valve of the structure which opens and closes one fluid channel
- the housing is asymmetrical on the upstream side and the downstream side, a coaxial shift is likely to occur. Therefore, even in the case of a butterfly valve having one valve and one fluid passage, the housing is asymmetrical. The effect of the invention becomes remarkable. Further, since the coaxial displacement of the bearing portion tends to increase as the shaft becomes longer, the effect of the present invention becomes more remarkable as the number of valves increases (that is, as the shaft becomes longer).
- the butterfly valve according to the present invention is adapted to be used for an EGR valve that circulates exhaust gas at a high temperature (500 ° C. to 800 ° C.) because the effect of high temperature is reduced.

Abstract
Description
実施の形態1.
図1に示すバタフライバルブは、流体を流通する管(不図示)に介装されるハウジング10と、ハウジング10に回動自在に保持されたシャフト20と、シャフト20と一体に回動して流体通路11,12を開閉するバタフライ形状のバルブ21,22とを備える。バルブ21,22は互いに異なる角度でシャフト20に取り付けられており、図示例では一方のバルブ21(またはバルブ22)が流体通路11(または流体通路12)を開弁するとき、もう一方のバルブ22(またはバルブ21)が流体通路12(または流体通路11)を閉弁する。
また、ハウジング10にはシャフト20を貫通する穴が形成されている。このうちの、流体通路11,12を間に挟んだ対向位置それぞれの穴を、軸受け保持部16,17とする。これら軸受け保持部16,17には、シャフト20を摺動自在に支持する軸受け部18,19が設置され、軸受け保持部17の開口部はキャップで塞がれている。
また、流体通路11,12の片側のみに高温ガスを流通させ続けると、ハウジング10に温度分布が生じ、歪みによる同軸ずれが更に悪化する。
また、軸受け部18c,19cの形状であれば、同軸ずれが発生したときに、流体通路11,12に近い側でシャフト20との間のクリアランスを小さくすることができるため、バルブ21またはバルブ22の全閉時にこのクリアランスを介して発生するシート漏れも抑制することができる。
また、軸受け部18d,19dの形状であれば、軸受け保持部16,17へ設置する際の方向性がなくなるため、組み立て作業が容易になる。
高温ガスを流通するハウジング10は高温になるため、スプリング33を直接ハウジング10に設置すると熱へたりが生じる。しかしながら、スプリング33をハウジング10から離して設置すると、バタフライバルブの全長が伸びる。
そこで、スプリング33をハウジング10に直接設置するのではなく、ハウジング10にスプリングホルダ34を設置して、このスプリングホルダ34にスプリング33を設置することにより、高熱の影響を低減する。
一方、ハウジング10には、軸受け保持部16の外周に凸部39が形成されている。そして、軸受け保持部16と凸部39の間にスプリングホルダ34を配置し、凸部39とホルダ固定部38とを固定する。このとき、ハウジング10からの熱の影響を抑制するために、流体通路11から最も離れた位置、即ち、内筒部36と外筒部35の開放側の端部にホルダ固定部38を形成して、スプリングホルダ34をハウジング10に固定することが望ましい。
さらに、ガイド部材41の周縁部にねずみ返し42を設ける。このねずみ返し42は、ガイド部材41の周縁部から流体通路11側へ突設された周壁であって、シャフト20と軸受け部18との間のクリアランスから軸漏れした高温ガスを、ガイド部材40およびスプリング33に直接当たらない方向(図4に矢印で示す方向)へ逃がすことで、漏出ガスによるスプリング33のへたりも抑制する。ねずみ返し42に案内された漏出ガスは、軸受け保持部16とスプリングホルダ34との間の隙間を通って外部へ排出される。
なお、図示例ではねずみ返し42をガイド部材41に形成したが、ガイド部材40に形成してもよい。
モータ31を有するアクチュエータ30は耐熱性が低いため、ハウジング10からの伝熱を極力低減する方がよい。そこで、アクチュエータ30を直接ハウジング10に取り付けず、断熱部材43を介在させて取り付ける。例えば図5の例では、断熱部材43として、熱伝導率の低いステンレス鋼のパイプを用い、パイプの両端のみがハウジング10とベースプレート45に接触するように取り付ける。これにより、アクチュエータ30をハウジング10から遠ざけて取り付け可能となり、また、ハウジング10からアクチュエータ30への伝熱を低減できる。
また、軸受け部18,19を、中央部の内径が小さく、両端部の内径が大きくなるよう、シャフト20の軸方向に沿って両端部へ向かって徐々に広がる形状にした場合(軸受け部18d,19d)には、上記効果に加え、組み立て作業を容易化できる効果もある。
例えば、上記実施の形態1では、シャフトに固定された2個のバルブが、二手に分岐した流体通路を開閉する構成のバタフライバルブに本願発明を適用した例を説明したが、1個のバルブが1本の流体通路を開閉する構成のバタフライバルブに適用してもよい。ただし、上流側と下流側でハウジングが非対称形状の場合に同軸ずれが発生しやすいので、1個のバルブと1本の流体通路を有するバタフライバルブの場合にもそのハウジングが非対称形状であると本願発明の効果が顕著となる。また、シャフトが長いほど軸受け部の同軸ずれも大きくなる傾向があるため、バルブの数が多くなるほど(即ち、シャフトが長くなるほど)本願発明の効果が顕著となる。
