Definitions
- the present invention relates to a valve overtightening prevention device and a valve provided with the same. More specifically, the valve over-clamping prevention device is simple in structure of the screw portion and can securely clamp the valve with a predetermined clamping force even if the user applies excessive rotational force to the rotary operation member. About.
- a manual valve such as a diaphragm valve
- a rotary operation member such as a handle or a knob
- the valve body such as a diaphragm
- the valve seat may be deteriorated or damaged. Therefore, in order to prevent excessive tightening of the valve, various manual valves have been proposed in which a spring is interposed between the rotary operation member and the member pressing the valve body and the valve is tightened with a predetermined tightening force. .
- the fluid controller described in Patent Document 1 includes a valve box having a flow path, a diaphragm for opening and closing the flow path, an operation mechanism provided on the back side of the diaphragm, and this operation. It consists of a handle that moves the mechanism up and down.
- the operation mechanism includes a pressure element for pressing or separating the diaphragm toward the flow path, a shaft extending in the vertical direction, a shaft having a lower end portion loosely fitted to the pressure element, and a cylindrical shape with the shaft inserted from the lower end opening.
- a stem, a spring receiving portion movably disposed in the vertical direction on the outer peripheral side of the stem, and a spring disposed in a gap between the spring receiving portion and a pressing element are provided.
- the stem vertically penetrates the center of the spring receiving portion.
- the above-mentioned tubular stem is capable of rotating in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions by rotating the handle.
- the inner circumferential surface and the outer circumferential surface of the stem have two types of screw portions in order to raise and lower the shaft and the spring receiving portion by the rotational force received by the stem from the handle. That is, a screwing hole (female screw portion) is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the stem. The screwing hole is screwed into an external thread formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft inserted into the stem.
- a screw thread male thread portion
- the screw thread is formed inside the through hole of the spring receiving portion and screwed to the screw portion.
- the lower end outer peripheral surface of the stem is provided with a contact portion formed of a ring-shaped flange that contacts the spring receiving portion.
- the spring receiving portion engaged with the screw thread of the stem outer peripheral portion descends, and the spring is contracted in the gap between the pressing element and the spring receiving portion by the lowering of the spring receiving portion.
- the spring receiving portion abuts on the contact portion at the lower end of the stem, thereby suppressing the rotational force thereof, and the rotation of the stem is stopped.
- the spring is pressed and contracted by the lowering of the spring receiving portion. Therefore, even if the rotation of the stem is locked, the pressure element is pressed by a constant elastic force by the spring, so the diaphragm is pressed against the seal seat and the flow path is closed.
- a screwing hole for screwing with the shaft is formed in the stem, and a thread for screwing with the screw receiving portion is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the stem.
- the structure is very complicated. Moreover, because the structure of the screw portion formed inside and outside the stem is complicated, if there is a slight defect in the stem, the shaft may be caught inside the stem or the screw receiving portion may be caught on the outer peripheral surface of the stem. There is a possibility that the operation for preventing excessive tightening can not be performed reliably. In addition, when an excessive rotational force is applied to the stem, the spring receiving portion is locally pressed against the flange-like abutting portion at the lower end of the stem, so that the flange-like abutting portion may be deformed or damaged.

Abstract
Description
そこで、バルブの過剰な締付けを防止するために、回転操作部材と弁体を押圧する部材との間にばねを介在させて所定の締付け力でバルブの締付けを行う手動弁が種々提案されている。
操作機構は、ダイアフラムを流路側へ押圧又は離間する押圧子と、上下方向に延びるシャフトであって下端部が押圧子に遊嵌されたシャフトと、当該シャフトが下端開口から挿入された筒状のステムと、このステムの外周側において上下方向に移動自在に配置されたバネ受け部と、このバネ受け部と押圧子との間隙に配設されるバネとを備えている。ステムは、ばね受け部の中央を上下方向に貫通している。
上記の筒状のステムは、ハンドルを回転操作によって時計方向および反時計方向の両方に回転することが可能である。ステムの内周面および外周面には、当該ステムがハンドルから受けた回転力によってシャフトおよびばね受け部を昇降させるために、2種類のねじ部を有する。すなわち、ステムの内周面には、螺合孔(めねじ部)が形成されている。この螺合孔は、ステムに挿入されるシャフトの外周面に形成されたおねじ部に螺合している。
また、ステムの外周面には、ねじ山(おねじ部)が形成されている。このねじ山は、ばね受け部の貫通孔内部に形成されためねじ部に螺合している。
ステムの下端外周面には、ばね受け部に当接するリング状のフランジからなる当接部が設けられている。ばね受け部がステムの当接部に当接した状態では、ステムはロックされて回転できなくなる。
このように構成された流体制御器では、ハンドルを回転させると、ハンドルの回転に伴ってステムが回動される。ステムの回動によって、ステムの螺合孔に螺合するシャフトおよび押圧子が下降し、ダイアフラムを弁箱のシール座に押圧する。それとともに、ステム外周部のねじ山に螺合するバネ受け部が下降し、このバネ受け部の下降によってバネが押圧子とバネ受け部との間隙で収縮される。ハンドルは一定以上回転されると、ばね受け部がステム下端の当接部に当接することによってその回転力が抑制され、ステムの回動が停止される。ステムの回動が停止した状態では、バネ受け部の下降によってバネが押圧、収縮されている。そのため、ステムの回転がロックされていてもバネによる一定の弾性力によって押圧子が押圧されるので、ダイアフラムがシール座へ押圧されて流路が閉鎖される。
しかも、ステムの内外に形成されたねじ部分の構造が複雑であるために、ステムにわずかでも不良があればステム内部でシャフトが引っかかるか、またはステム外周面でねじ受け部が引っかかるおそれがあるので、過剰な締め付けを防止する動作を確実に行うことができないおそれがある。
また、ステムに過剰な回転力を与えたときには、ばね受け部がステム下端のフランジ状の当接部に局所的に押し付けられることにより、フランジ状の当接部が変形や破損するおそれがある。
本発明の実施形態に係るバルブの過剰締付け防止装置を備えたバルブとして、図1に示されるバルブ(1)は、手動で開閉操作される手動弁であり、一例として弁体(4)としてダイヤフラム弁を備えたダイヤフラムバルブが示されている。
弁座(5)は、弁体(4)が閉じた位置で当該弁体(4)に当接する位置に配置されている。
具体的には、過剰締付け防止装置(2)は、台座部(6)と、第1ステム(7)と、第2ステム(8)と、回転操作部材であるハンドル(9)と、圧縮コイルばね(10)と、連結ピン(11)とを備えている。
しかも、バルブ(1)の閉動作時において弁体(4)を押圧する第2ステム(8)が停止した後に長孔(12)を有する第1ステム(7)が圧縮コイルばね(10)を縮めながら閉方向に進行し、第1ステム(7)の頭部(7b)が台座部(6)に当接したときにバルブ(1)の締付けが完了されるので、機構的に過剰な締付けを防止する。これにより、使用者がハンドル(9)に過剰な回転力を与えても確実に所定の締付け力でバルブ(1)を締め付けることが可能である。
まず、図4の全開状態のバルブ(1)では、第1ステム(7)の頭部(7b)は、ハンドル(9)の上部貫通孔(9c)を通してハンドル(9)の上方に突出している。この状態で、使用者がハンドル(9)を手動で閉方向(A1)に回転操作すれば、ハンドル(9)に対して連結ピン(11)によって連結された第1ステム(7)および第2ステム(8)も回転する。第1ステム(7)の円筒部(7a)の外周側のおねじ部(7c)は、台座部(6)のねじ孔(6a)に螺合しているので、ハンドル(9)、第1ステム(7)、および第2ステム(8)は、一体となって回転しながら閉方向(A1)へ進む。第1ステム(7)および第2ステム(8)が台座部(6)の内部へより深く挿入されることにより、第2ステム(8)の下端部(8b)は、弁体(4)(図1参照)を閉方向(A1)へ押圧する。このように、ハンドル(9)、第1ステム(7)、および第2ステム(8)が一体になって閉方向(A1)へ進行するときには、ハンドル(9)における台座部(6)に近い側の部分であるハンドル下部(9a)と第1ステム(7)の頭部(7b)との間に圧縮された状態で挟まれている圧縮コイルばね(10)のたわみ量は初期状態に維持されている。
がらさらに閉じる方向(A1)へ進行する。
具体的には、本実施形態の過剰締付け防止装置(2)では、ハンドル(9)には、第1ステム(7)の頭部(7b)が当該ハンドル(9)の外部に突出可能な上部貫通孔(9c)が形成されている。この頭部(7b)は、上部貫通孔(9c)を通してハンドル(9)から外部に出没可能な位置に配置されている。
