- the stroke calculation process is always executed by the control unit 3 while the valve 1 is operating and the sensor unit 2 and the control unit 3 are energized.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart of stroke calculation processing.
- the control unit 3 acquires the signal data (voltage value (measurement value)) transmitted from the Hall IC 2B of the sensor unit 2 and stores it in the storage unit (step S1).
- the control unit 3 determines whether or not a predetermined period (T1) has elapsed since the signal data was first acquired (step S2).
- the predetermined period (T1) is the opening/closing time of the valve 1, for example, the time from opening and closing a three-way valve (not shown) for opening and closing the valve 1 to the next opening. Yes, but not limited to this.
- the control unit 3 returns to step S1 and acquires the next signal data.
- the control unit 3 sets the minimum value (V1) of the voltage values of the signal data acquired during the predetermined period (T1) to the zero point (reference value) for stroke calculation. ) Is set (step S3). That is, the measurement value (voltage value) by the sensor unit 2 when the valve 1 is closed is set as the zero point.
- the control unit 3 acquires the voltage value indicating the maximum value (V2) among the voltage values of the signal data acquired during the predetermined period (T1), and the intermediate value (Vm1) between the minimum value (V1) and the maximum value (V2). ) Is set to a threshold value (Vm1) for determining whether the valve 1 is open or closed (step S4).

- the control unit 3 determines whether the valve 1 has changed from the open state to the closed state based on the open/closed state of the valve 1 at the time of the previous determination (step S7). When the valve 1 is not in the open state to the closed state (S7: NO), the control unit 3 returns to step S5.
- the control unit 3 sets the voltage value of the signal data acquired in the constant time (t) immediately before the signal data acquired in step S5.

- the calculated stroke amount may be displayed on a display unit such as a display.
- the control unit 3 calculates an intermediate value (Vm2) between the value of the zero point (V1) and the maximum value (V3) acquired in step S7, and uses the calculated value as a new threshold value for determining whether the valve 1 is open or closed. It is updated as (Vm2) (step S9). For example, as shown in FIG. 3, when the stroke of the stem 17 is adjusted and the stroke amount is decreased, the threshold value is updated and decreased. After that, the control unit 3 returns to step S5.
- the first and second stroke adjusting units 22 and 40 that adjust the stroke amount of the stem 17 and the sensor unit 2 that detects the displacement of the stem 17 are provided. Therefore, the stroke amount of the stem 17 after stroke adjustment can be grasped. As a result, the flow rate (Cv value) of the valve 1 can be grasped.
- the valve 1 includes a control unit 3 that sets a zero point for calculating the stroke of the stem 17 based on a measurement value (voltage value) detected by the sensor unit 2 when the valve 1 is closed. Accordingly, the zero point of the stroke of the stem 17 can be set accurately, and the accurate stroke amount of the stem 17 can be calculated. Further, even if the seat 12 deteriorates with age, the zero point of the stroke of the stem 17 can be accurately set.
- the control unit 3 determines whether the valve 1 is open or closed based on the measurement value of the sensor unit 2 and the threshold value. As a result, it is possible to accurately grasp whether the valve 1 is open or closed.
- the control unit 3 updates the threshold value based on the measurement value detected by the sensor unit 2 in the open state and the closed state of the valve 1. As a result, even if the stroke amount is changed by the first and second stroke adjusting units 22 and 40, it is possible to accurately grasp whether the valve 1 is open or closed by updating the threshold value.
- the sensor unit 2 is a Hall sensor, but it may be another displacement sensor such as a capacitance sensor.
- the control unit 3 sets the minimum value (V1) of the voltage values of the acquired signal data as the zero point (reference value) for stroke calculation, but sets the maximum value (V2) as the zero point. Good.
- the control unit 3 sets the minimum value (V1) of the voltage values of the acquired signal data as the zero point (reference value) for stroke calculation, but the average value of the voltage values for a certain period of time may be set as the zero point. Good.
- the maximum value (V2, V3) an average value of voltage values for a certain period of time may be used.
- the threshold value is the intermediate value (Vm1) between the minimum value (V1) and the maximum value (V2), but the threshold value is not limited to this value and may be the value of the minimum value (V1) rather than the intermediate value (Vm1).

Abstract
Description
ボディ10は、ボディ本体11と、シート12と、ボンネット13と、ダイヤフラム14と、押えアダプタ15と、ダイヤフラム押え16と、ステム17と、圧縮コイルスプリング18を備える。
アクチュエータ20は、ケーシング21と、第1ストローク調整部22と、駆動部30と、第2ストローク調整部40とを備える。ケーシング21は、下ケーシング25と、下端部が下ケーシング25の上端部に螺合された上ケーシング26とを有する。
駆動部30は、第1ピストン31と、仕切ディスク32と、第2ピストン33、駆動軸34とを有する。
センサ部2は、ステム17の変位を検知するための変位センサであり、図2に示すように、磁石2AとホールIC2Bと配線2Cを有するホールセンサである。磁石2Aは、円環状をなし、ステム17のフランジ17Aの磁石収容溝17bに収容されている。ホールIC2Bは、収容凹部13fに収容されている。ホールIC2Bは、ホール素子とオペアンプ等の増幅回路とを有する。配線2Cは、ホールIC2Bに接続され、第2貫通孔13eを介して外部へ延び、制御部3に接続されている。
制御部3は、CPU(Central Processing Unit)と、記憶部とを備える。記憶部は、各種プログラムを記憶し、当該プログラムがCPUに読み出されて実行されることにより、後述のストローク算出処理が行われる。
次に、本実施形態に係るバルブ1の開閉動作について説明する。
次に、ステム17のストローク量の調整方法について説明する。ステム17のストローク量を調整することにより、バルブ1の流量(Cv値)を変更することができる。
