Description

圧力調整弁pressure regulating valve
 本開示は、圧力調整弁に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a pressure regulating valve.
 米国特許第9328836号明細書は、閉弁状態でのシール性を高めるため、図7、8のように、弁本体Aの弁座Bに当接する面にゴム製のシール部材Cを貼着した圧力調整弁を開示している。この圧力調整弁では、閉弁時に弁本体Aが弁座Bに当接する環状部分におけるシール部材Cの面圧を高めるために、弁本体Aの弁座Bに対向する面に環状の突起Dを形成している。この部分では、シール部材Cは、突起Dを包む形状とされている。 US Pat. No. 9,328,836 discloses that a rubber seal member C is attached to the surface of the valve body A that contacts the valve seat B, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, in order to improve the sealing performance in the closed state. A pressure regulating valve is disclosed. In this pressure regulating valve, an annular protrusion D is provided on the surface of the valve body A facing the valve seat B in order to increase the surface pressure of the seal member C at the annular portion where the valve body A contacts the valve seat B when the valve is closed. is forming. In this portion, the seal member C is shaped to wrap around the protrusion D.
 上記圧力調整弁では、閉弁時に突起Dを包んでいる部分のシール部材Cに突起Dにより加えられる圧縮圧力は特に高くなる。そのため、図9のように、突起Dの外周縁部D1に対応するシール部材Cの屈曲部C1では、局所的に内部応力が高くなる。その結果、圧力調整弁の長期使用によりシール部材Cの屈曲部C1が破損する恐れがある。そのため、改良された圧力調整弁が求められている。 In the above pressure regulating valve, the compression pressure applied by the protrusion D to the sealing member C in the portion surrounding the protrusion D becomes particularly high when the valve is closed. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, internal stress locally increases at the bent portion C1 of the sealing member C corresponding to the outer peripheral edge D1 of the projection D. As a result, the bent portion C1 of the seal member C may be damaged due to long-term use of the pressure regulating valve. Therefore, there is a need for improved pressure regulating valves.

An annular protrusion formed to protrude toward the valve seat and correspond to the valve seat at a corresponding position in the movement direction; and an inner diameter side end edge of the protrusion corresponding to the inclined part of the valve body. and a connecting portion that connects the outer diameter side edge portion of the recessed portion with an inclined surface.
 上記態様によれば、弁体の閉弁時、シール部材の突出部は、弁座に当接して圧縮され弾性変形される。それによりシール部材が流体の遮断性能を維持するために必要な面圧は確保される。このとき、突出部の弾性変形は、弁本体の平面部と傾斜部に沿って弁体の内径側及び外径側に分散される。そのため、シール部材では、局部的な内部応力の高まりが抑制される。よって、弁体の開閉の繰り返しに伴うシール部材の耐久劣化は抑制される。 According to the above aspect, when the valve body is closed, the protrusion of the sealing member comes into contact with the valve seat, is compressed, and is elastically deformed. Thereby, the surface pressure necessary for the seal member to maintain its fluid blocking performance is ensured. At this time, the elastic deformation of the protrusion is distributed to the inner diameter side and the outer diameter side of the valve body along the flat part and the inclined part of the valve body. Therefore, in the seal member, local increase in internal stress is suppressed. Therefore, durability deterioration of the sealing member due to repeated opening and closing of the valve body is suppressed.

<プレッシャレギュレータの全体構成>
 図1は、圧力調整弁の実施形態1に相当するプレッシャレギュレータ1を示す。プレッシャレギュレータ1は、ガソリンエンジン、ディーゼルエンジン等のエンジンに供給される燃料の圧力を設定圧力に調整するよう構成されている。図1では、図面の下側を一側、上側を他側として説明する。他の図でも同様である。
<Overall configuration of pressure regulator>
FIG. 1 shows a pressure regulator 1 corresponding to Embodiment 1 of a pressure regulating valve. The pressure regulator 1 is configured to adjust the pressure of fuel supplied to an engine such as a gasoline engine or a diesel engine to a set pressure. In FIG. 1, the lower side of the drawing will be described as one side, and the upper side will be described as the other side. The same applies to other figures.
 図1のプレッシャレギュレータ1は、金属製で概略円筒形状のハウジング10を有する。ハウジング10は、弁体30、ばね40等を内部に収容している。ハウジング10の一側端部は、他部に比べて径を小さく、内部に流体通路111を形成している。ハウジング10は、その一側端部から他側端部に向けて段階的に径を大きくされている。流体通路111から一段階径を大きくされた部分は流体圧室11とされている。流体通路111から二段階径を大きくされた部分は、排出室12とされている。排出室12より他側は、更に漸次径を大きくされて開放端部14とされている。従って、流体圧室11は、流体通路111の燃料(流体に相当)で満たされる一つの部屋を成している。また、排出室12は、流体圧室11に隣接する一つの部屋を成している。 The pressure regulator 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a housing 10 made of metal and having a generally cylindrical shape. The housing 10 accommodates a valve body 30, a spring 40, etc. therein. One end of the housing 10 has a smaller diameter than the other end, and has a fluid passage 111 formed therein. The diameter of the housing 10 increases stepwise from one end to the other end. A portion whose diameter is increased by one step from the fluid passage 111 is defined as the fluid pressure chamber 11 . A portion whose diameter is increased by two steps from the fluid passage 111 is defined as a discharge chamber 12 . On the other side of the discharge chamber 12, the diameter is gradually increased to form an open end 14. Therefore, the fluid pressure chamber 11 constitutes one chamber filled with fuel (equivalent to fluid) in the fluid passage 111. Further, the discharge chamber 12 constitutes one room adjacent to the fluid pressure chamber 11.
 流体圧室11と排出室12との境界部を成す段部の排出室12側面は、環状の弁座13とされている。弁座13には、概略円板状の弁体30が当接されている。弁体30は、排出室12内に配置され、排出室12内で一側と他側の対向方向に移動可能とされている。弁体30が当接する弁座13は環状を成している。弁体30の他側は、圧縮コイルばね(以下、ばねという)40を介してカバー部材20により排出室12の他側端部に固定されている。なお、カバー部材20は、排出室12の内壁に圧入して固定されている。ばね40は、コイルの内径側が弁体30のリング状のばねガイド33、並びにカバー部材20の凸状のばねガイド21に嵌合して支持されている。そのため、弁体30は、ばね40の付勢力によって弁座13に当接して、流体圧室11から排出室12への燃料の流動を遮断している。即ち、弁体30が弁座13に当接することによって、ハウジング10内が流体圧室11と排出室12とに仕切られる。 The side surface of the discharge chamber 12 at the stepped portion forming the boundary between the fluid pressure chamber 11 and the discharge chamber 12 is an annular valve seat 13 . A substantially disk-shaped valve body 30 is in contact with the valve seat 13 . The valve body 30 is disposed within the discharge chamber 12 and is movable within the discharge chamber 12 in opposing directions between one side and the other side. The valve seat 13 that the valve body 30 abuts has an annular shape. The other side of the valve body 30 is fixed to the other end of the discharge chamber 12 by a cover member 20 via a compression coil spring (hereinafter referred to as spring) 40 . Note that the cover member 20 is press-fitted and fixed to the inner wall of the discharge chamber 12. The spring 40 is supported so that the inner diameter side of the coil fits into the ring-shaped spring guide 33 of the valve body 30 and the convex-shaped spring guide 21 of the cover member 20. Therefore, the valve body 30 comes into contact with the valve seat 13 due to the biasing force of the spring 40, thereby blocking the flow of fuel from the fluid pressure chamber 11 to the discharge chamber 12. That is, when the valve body 30 comes into contact with the valve seat 13, the inside of the housing 10 is partitioned into a fluid pressure chamber 11 and a discharge chamber 12.
 流体通路111は、燃料ポンプ(図示略)から吐出された燃料をエンジン(図示略)に供給する燃料通路(図示略)に連通されている。流体通路111を形成するハウジング10の外周にはオーリング50が嵌合されている。オーリング50は、流体通路111を燃料通路に連通する際の燃料漏れを防止する機能を果たしている。排出室12を形成するハウジング10の周壁面には、複数個の貫通孔が穿設されており、その貫通孔が排出通路121とされている。排出通路121は、燃料タンク(図示略)に燃料を戻すように連通されている。 The fluid passage 111 communicates with a fuel passage (not shown) that supplies fuel discharged from a fuel pump (not shown) to an engine (not shown). An O-ring 50 is fitted around the outer periphery of the housing 10 forming the fluid passage 111. The O-ring 50 functions to prevent fuel leakage when the fluid passage 111 is communicated with the fuel passage. A plurality of through holes are bored in the peripheral wall surface of the housing 10 forming the discharge chamber 12, and the through holes are used as a discharge passage 121. The discharge passage 121 communicates with a fuel tank (not shown) so as to return fuel to the fuel tank (not shown).
 プレッシャレギュレータ1は、流体通路111を通じて加えられる流体圧室11の燃料圧力(流体圧に相当)が設定圧力より高くなると、弁体30が弁座13から離れた開弁状態になる。そのため、流体圧室11の燃料は、排出室12に流れ排出通路121から燃料タンク内に排出される。このように流体圧室11の燃料が排出室12を通じて排出通路121から排出され、流体圧室11の燃料圧力が設定圧力より低くなると、プレッシャレギュレータ1は、弁体30がばね40の付勢力により弁座13に当接した閉弁状態になる。閉弁状態では、流体圧室11から排出室12への燃料の流動が遮断される。このようにして流体圧室11につながった流体通路111及び燃料通路の燃料圧力が設定圧力に調整される。なお、本明細書において、開弁状態における弁座13の位置を「開弁位置」、閉弁状態における弁座13の位置を「閉弁位置」という。 When the fuel pressure (corresponding to fluid pressure) in the fluid pressure chamber 11 applied through the fluid passage 111 becomes higher than the set pressure, the pressure regulator 1 enters an open state in which the valve body 30 is separated from the valve seat 13. Therefore, the fuel in the fluid pressure chamber 11 flows into the discharge chamber 12 and is discharged from the discharge passage 121 into the fuel tank. In this way, when the fuel in the fluid pressure chamber 11 is discharged from the discharge passage 121 through the discharge chamber 12 and the fuel pressure in the fluid pressure chamber 11 becomes lower than the set pressure, the pressure regulator 1 causes the valve body 30 to move due to the biasing force of the spring 40. The valve is in a closed state in contact with the valve seat 13. In the valve closed state, the flow of fuel from the fluid pressure chamber 11 to the discharge chamber 12 is blocked. In this way, the fuel pressure in the fluid passage 111 and the fuel passage connected to the fluid pressure chamber 11 is adjusted to the set pressure. In this specification, the position of the valve seat 13 in the valve open state is referred to as the "valve open position", and the position of the valve seat 13 in the valve closed state is referred to as the "valve closed position".
<弁体の構成>
 図2は、弁体30を拡大して示す。また、図3は、図2のIII部を更に拡大して示す。弁体30は、弁体30のベース部分を成す樹脂製の弁本体31と、弁本体31の弁座13側に固定されたゴム製のシール部材32とを備える。弁本体31は、弁体30が閉弁位置にある状態で、環状の弁座13を含めて、弁座13に囲まれた領域に被せられている。また、シール部材32は、閉弁位置にある弁本体31と弁座13との間で押圧されて弾性変形され、弁体30の閉弁位置における流体の遮断性能を高めている。弁本体31の円板の中心部には、一側から他側まで貫通する貫通孔314が穿設されている。貫通孔314には、シール部材32の円板の中心部に突出形成された嵌合部324が嵌合されている。実際には、成形型内に弁本体31をセットした状態でシール部材32を成すゴムを流し込んで焼き付けることにより嵌合部324が貫通孔314に嵌合してシール部材32が弁本体31に貼着される。
<Configuration of valve body>
FIG. 2 shows the valve body 30 in an enlarged manner. Further, FIG. 3 shows a further enlarged view of part III in FIG. The valve body 30 includes a resin valve body 31 forming a base portion of the valve body 30, and a rubber seal member 32 fixed to the valve seat 13 side of the valve body 31. The valve body 31 covers an area surrounded by the valve seat 13 including the annular valve seat 13 when the valve body 30 is in the closed position. Further, the seal member 32 is pressed between the valve body 31 and the valve seat 13 in the closed position and is elastically deformed, thereby improving the fluid blocking performance when the valve body 30 is in the closed position. A through hole 314 penetrating from one side to the other side is bored in the center of the disc of the valve body 31. A fitting portion 324 formed protruding from the center of the disk of the sealing member 32 is fitted into the through hole 314 . Actually, with the valve body 31 set in the mold, the rubber forming the seal member 32 is poured and baked, so that the fitting part 324 fits into the through hole 314 and the seal member 32 is attached to the valve body 31. It will be worn.
 弁本体31は、弁座13に対向する面の外周部に環状に形成された平面部311と、平面部311に囲まれた凹部312と、平面部311の内径側端縁部と凹部312の外径側端縁部とを傾斜面でつなぐ傾斜部313と、を備える。平面部311は、弁体30の開閉に伴う移動方向で、弁座13に対向する平面を成す。凹部312は、弁体30の開閉に伴う移動方向における弁座13側を窪まされて成る。平面部311と傾斜部313の境界部は、曲面によって形成されている。 The valve body 31 includes a flat part 311 formed in an annular shape on the outer periphery of the surface facing the valve seat 13 , a recess 312 surrounded by the flat part 311 , and an inner edge of the flat part 311 and a concave part 312 . An inclined portion 313 connecting the outer diameter side edge portion with an inclined surface is provided. The plane portion 311 forms a plane that faces the valve seat 13 in the direction of movement of the valve body 30 as it opens and closes. The recessed portion 312 is formed by recessing the valve seat 13 side in the direction of movement of the valve body 30 as it opens and closes. The boundary between the flat portion 311 and the inclined portion 313 is formed by a curved surface.
 シール部材32は、弁本体31の凹部312に対応して窪まされて成る窪み部322と、弁座13に向けて突出形成された環状の突出部321と、突出部321の内径側端縁部と窪み部322の外径側端縁部とを傾斜面でつなぐつなぎ部323と、を備える。突出部321は、弁本体31の平面部311と傾斜部313との環状の境界部に弁本体31の移動方向で対応している。図3では、弁本体31の平面部311と傾斜部313との境界部を一点鎖線で示している。つなぎ部323は、弁本体31の傾斜部313に対応する傾斜面で形成されている。 The sealing member 32 includes a recess 322 that corresponds to the recess 312 of the valve body 31, an annular protrusion 321 that protrudes toward the valve seat 13, and an inner diameter end edge of the protrusion 321. and a connecting portion 323 that connects the outer diameter side edge portion of the recessed portion 322 with an inclined surface. The protruding portion 321 corresponds to the annular boundary between the flat portion 311 and the inclined portion 313 of the valve body 31 in the direction of movement of the valve body 31 . In FIG. 3, the boundary between the flat portion 311 and the inclined portion 313 of the valve body 31 is indicated by a chain line. The connecting portion 323 is formed of an inclined surface corresponding to the inclined portion 313 of the valve body 31.
 シール部材32の窪み部322とつなぎ部323との環状の境界部は、弁本体31の凹部312と傾斜部313との環状の境界部より弁体30の外径側に配置されている。また、シール部材32の窪み部322及び弁本体31の平面部311は、弁体30の開弁位置における弁座13との対向距離が互いに実質同等とされている。図3において、平面部311と弁座13との対向距離は「L1」で示され、窪み部322と弁座13との対向距離は「L2」で示されている。 The annular boundary between the recessed part 322 and the connecting part 323 of the seal member 32 is located closer to the outer diameter of the valve body 30 than the annular boundary between the recessed part 312 and the inclined part 313 of the valve body 31. Furthermore, the recessed portion 322 of the seal member 32 and the flat portion 311 of the valve body 31 are substantially equal in distance from each other to the valve seat 13 when the valve body 30 is in the open position. In FIG. 3, the facing distance between the flat portion 311 and the valve seat 13 is shown as "L1", and the facing distance between the recessed part 322 and the valve seat 13 is shown as "L2".
<実施形態1の作用、効果>
 流体圧室11の燃料圧力が設定圧力より低くなって、ばね40の付勢力により弁体30が閉弁位置とされると、シール部材32の突出部321が弁座13に当接する。そのため、突出部321は、ばね40の付勢力により弁座13側への突出量が小さくなるように圧縮される。この圧縮に伴い、図4のように、シール部材32は弾性変形される。即ち、突出部321は、矢印で示すように弁体30の外径側及び内径側へそれぞれ膨出される。また、シール部材32の窪み部322は、弁座13側へ膨出される。それによりシール部材32は、流体の遮断性能を維持するために必要な面圧を確保される。このとき、突出部321の弾性変形は、弁本体31の平面部311と傾斜部313に沿って弁体30の内径側及び外径側に分散される。そのため、シール部材32では、局部的な内部応力の高まりが抑制される。また、突出部321が弁体30の外径側へ偏って変形することにより生じる、シール部材32の外径側端縁部が弁本体31の平面部311から剥離する力が抑制される。そのため、弁体30の開閉の繰り返しに伴うシール部材32の耐久劣化は抑制される。
<Actions and effects of Embodiment 1>
When the fuel pressure in the fluid pressure chamber 11 becomes lower than the set pressure and the valve body 30 is brought to the closed position by the biasing force of the spring 40, the protrusion 321 of the seal member 32 comes into contact with the valve seat 13. Therefore, the protrusion 321 is compressed by the biasing force of the spring 40 so that the amount of protrusion toward the valve seat 13 is reduced. As a result of this compression, the seal member 32 is elastically deformed as shown in FIG. That is, the protruding portion 321 is bulged toward the outer diameter side and the inner diameter side of the valve body 30, respectively, as shown by the arrows. Further, the recessed portion 322 of the seal member 32 is bulged toward the valve seat 13 side. Thereby, the sealing member 32 is provided with the surface pressure necessary to maintain fluid blocking performance. At this time, the elastic deformation of the protrusion 321 is distributed to the inner diameter side and the outer diameter side of the valve body 30 along the flat part 311 and the inclined part 313 of the valve body 31. Therefore, in the seal member 32, local increase in internal stress is suppressed. Further, the force that causes the outer diameter side edge portion of the seal member 32 to peel off from the flat surface portion 311 of the valve body 31, which is caused by the protrusion portion 321 being deformed toward the outer diameter side of the valve body 30, is suppressed. Therefore, durability deterioration of the seal member 32 due to repeated opening and closing of the valve body 30 is suppressed.
<実施形態1と比較例の対比>
 図5は、第1の比較例として、シール部材32の突出部321を弁本体31の平面部311と傾斜部313との境界部(図5に一点鎖線で示す)より弁体30の内径側に形成した場合を示す。この場合、シール部材32の突出部321が弁座13に当接して圧縮変形されると、突出部321は、弁本体31の傾斜部313の傾斜面に沿って弁体30の内径側に弾性変形される。そのため、比較的小さな圧縮圧力で突出部321の弾性変形が起き、燃料の遮断機能を発揮するための充分な面圧を得ることができない。また、シール部材32の外径側端縁部が弁本体31の平面部311から剥離する力を受け、弁体30の開閉の繰り返しに伴いシール部材32の耐久劣化が促進される。
<Comparison between Embodiment 1 and Comparative Example>
FIG. 5 shows a first comparative example in which the protruding portion 321 of the sealing member 32 is positioned on the inner diameter side of the valve body 30 from the boundary between the flat portion 311 and the inclined portion 313 of the valve body 31 (indicated by a dashed line in FIG. 5). The case where it is formed is shown below. In this case, when the protruding part 321 of the sealing member 32 comes into contact with the valve seat 13 and is compressed and deformed, the protruding part 321 elastically moves toward the inner diameter side of the valve body 30 along the inclined surface of the inclined part 313 of the valve body 31. transformed. Therefore, elastic deformation of the protrusion 321 occurs with a relatively small compression pressure, making it impossible to obtain sufficient surface pressure to perform the fuel cutoff function. In addition, the outer diameter side edge portion of the seal member 32 is subjected to a force that causes it to peel off from the flat surface portion 311 of the valve body 31, and as the valve body 30 is repeatedly opened and closed, the durability of the seal member 32 is accelerated.
 図6は、第2の比較例として、シール部材32の突出部321を弁本体31の平面部311と傾斜部313との境界部(図6に一点鎖線で示す)より弁体30の外径側に形成した場合を示す。この場合、シール部材32の突出部321が弁座13に当接して圧縮変形されると、突出部321の弾性変形は、弁本体31の平面部311に沿って弁体30の外径側に向けて行われる。一方、弁体30の内径側に向けての突出部321の弾性変形は、殆ど行われない。そのため、弁本体31の平面部311と傾斜部313との境界部付近におけるシール部材32の内部応力が局部的に高まり、弁体30の開閉の繰り返しに伴いシール部材32の耐久劣化が促進される。 FIG. 6 shows a second comparative example in which the protruding portion 321 of the seal member 32 is connected to the outer diameter of the valve body 30 from the boundary between the flat portion 311 and the inclined portion 313 of the valve body 31 (indicated by the dashed line in FIG. 6). The case where it is formed on the side is shown. In this case, when the protruding part 321 of the sealing member 32 comes into contact with the valve seat 13 and is compressed and deformed, the elastic deformation of the protruding part 321 is applied to the outer diameter side of the valve body 30 along the flat part 311 of the valve body 31. It is carried out towards On the other hand, elastic deformation of the protruding portion 321 toward the inner diameter side of the valve body 30 is hardly performed. Therefore, the internal stress of the seal member 32 near the boundary between the flat part 311 and the inclined part 313 of the valve body 31 increases locally, and durability deterioration of the seal member 32 is accelerated as the valve body 30 is repeatedly opened and closed. .

In a first aspect, the pressure regulating valve includes a fluid pressure chamber communicating with the fluid passage and forming a chamber filled with fluid from the fluid passage, and a chamber adjacent to the fluid pressure chamber; a discharge chamber communicated with a discharge passage to flow fluid discharged from the fluid pressure chamber; and a discharge chamber arranged to receive fluid pressure of the fluid pressure chamber at a boundary portion separating the fluid pressure chamber and the discharge chamber; When the pressure is lower than the set pressure, the valve is in the closed position to cut off the flow of fluid from the fluid pressure chamber to the discharge chamber, and when the pressure of the fluid pressure chamber is higher than the set pressure, the valve is closed from the fluid pressure chamber to the discharge chamber. a valve body that is in an open position for discharging fluid to the valve body, and a valve body that is arranged in an annular manner along the boundary part at a boundary part that partitions the fluid pressure chamber and the discharge chamber, and the valve body is in the valve closed position. The valve seat includes a valve seat that causes the valve body to have a fluid blocking function by abutting against the valve seat, and a spring that biases the valve body from the valve open position toward the valve closed position. The valve body is fixed to a valve body forming a base portion of the valve body and to the valve seat side of the valve body, and is pressed between the valve body and the valve seat in the valve closing position to generate elasticity. a sealing member that is deformed to improve the fluid blocking performance of the valve body, and the valve body includes a flat part forming an annular plane facing the valve seat in a movement direction accompanying opening and closing of the valve body; , a recess located on the inner diameter side of the flat part and formed by recessing the valve seat side in the moving direction, and an inclined surface connecting the inner diameter side edge of the flat part and the outer diameter side edge of the recess. the sealing member includes a recessed portion corresponding to the recessed portion of the valve body, and an annular boundary portion between the flat portion and the sloped portion of the valve body. An annular protrusion formed to protrude toward the valve seat and correspond to the valve seat at a corresponding position in the movement direction; and an inner diameter side end edge of the protrusion corresponding to the inclined part of the valve body. and a connecting portion that connects the outer diameter side edge portion of the recessed portion with an inclined surface.
 上記第1の態様によれば、弁体の閉弁時、シール部材の突出部は、弁座に当接して圧縮され弾性変形される。それによりシール部材が流体の遮断性能を維持するために必要な面圧は確保される。このとき、突出部の弾性変形は、弁本体の平面部と傾斜部に沿って弁体の内径側及び外径側に分散される。そのため、シール部材では、局部的な内部応力の高まりが抑制される。よって、弁体の開閉の繰り返しに伴うシール部材の耐久劣化は抑制される。 According to the first aspect, when the valve body is closed, the protruding portion of the sealing member comes into contact with the valve seat, is compressed, and is elastically deformed. Thereby, the surface pressure necessary for the seal member to maintain its fluid blocking performance is ensured. At this time, the elastic deformation of the protrusion is distributed to the inner diameter side and the outer diameter side of the valve body along the flat part and the inclined part of the valve body. Therefore, in the seal member, local increase in internal stress is suppressed. Therefore, durability deterioration of the sealing member due to repeated opening and closing of the valve body is suppressed.
 第2の態様は、上述した第1の態様の圧力調整弁において、前記弁本体の前記平面部と前記傾斜部との境界部は、曲面によって形成されている。 In a second aspect, in the pressure regulating valve of the first aspect described above, the boundary between the flat part and the inclined part of the valve body is formed by a curved surface.
 上記第2の態様によれば、シール部材の突出部は、弁本体の平面部と傾斜部との境界部で弁座に向けて押圧される。このとき、境界部が曲面によって形成されているため、境界部が平面同士の接合となっている場合に比べて、境界部の形状によるシール部材の局部的な応力集中を抑制することができる。 According to the second aspect, the protruding portion of the seal member is pressed toward the valve seat at the boundary between the flat portion and the inclined portion of the valve body. At this time, since the boundary part is formed by a curved surface, local stress concentration in the sealing member due to the shape of the boundary part can be suppressed compared to a case where the boundary part is a joint between two flat surfaces.
 第3の態様は、上述した第1の態様又は第2の態様の圧力調整弁において、前記シール部材の前記窪み部と前記つなぎ部との環状の境界部は、前記弁本体の前記凹部と前記傾斜部との環状の境界部より外径側に配置され、前記シール部材の前記窪み部及び前記弁本体の前記平面部は、前記弁体の前記開弁位置における前記弁座との対向距離が互いに実質同等とされている。 In a third aspect, in the pressure regulating valve according to the first aspect or the second aspect, an annular boundary between the recessed part and the connecting part of the sealing member is connected to the recessed part of the valve body. The recessed portion of the sealing member and the flat portion of the valve body are arranged on the outer diameter side of the annular boundary with the inclined portion, and the distance between the recessed portion of the sealing member and the flat portion of the valve body and the valve seat in the valve opening position of the valve body is They are considered to be virtually equivalent to each other.
 上記第3の態様によれば、シール部材の窪み部とつなぎ部との境界部を、弁本体の凹部と傾斜部との境界部より弁体の外径側とし、シール部材の窪み部及び弁本体の平面部は、弁座との対向距離を実質同等とされている。その結果、シール部材の突出部が弁座に当接して弾性変形するとき、弁体の内径側へ偏って変形することを抑制し、突出部の変形が弁体の内径側と外径側にバランス良く行われる。そのため、シール部材の突出部が弁体の内径側へ偏って変形してシール部材の外径側端縁部が弁本体の平面部から剥離する力を受けるのを抑制し、シール部材の耐久性を高めることができる。 According to the third aspect, the boundary between the recessed portion of the seal member and the connecting portion is on the outer diameter side of the valve body than the boundary between the recessed portion and the inclined portion of the valve body, and the recessed portion of the seal member and the valve The flat portion of the main body has substantially the same distance from the valve seat. As a result, when the protrusion of the seal member comes into contact with the valve seat and is elastically deformed, it is suppressed from deforming biased toward the inner diameter of the valve body, and the deformation of the protrusion is caused to occur on the inner and outer diameter sides of the valve body. It is well balanced. Therefore, the protrusion of the seal member is prevented from deforming biased toward the inner diameter side of the valve body, and the outer diameter edge of the seal member is prevented from receiving a force that causes it to peel off from the flat surface of the valve body, thereby increasing the durability of the seal member. can be increased.
 上記第3の態様において、シール部材の窪み部の弁座との対向距離は、少なくともつなぎ部に近い側が弁本体の平面部と同等とされていればよい。窪み部におけるつなぎ部から離れた部位の上記距離の設定は、突出部の弾性変形に影響を与えず、同等でなくてもよい。 In the third aspect, the facing distance between the recessed portion of the sealing member and the valve seat may be made equal to the flat portion of the valve body at least on the side closer to the connecting portion. The setting of the above-mentioned distance at a portion of the recessed portion remote from the connecting portion does not affect the elastic deformation of the protruding portion, and does not have to be the same.
 第4の態様は、上述した第3の態様の圧力調整弁において、前記弁体の前記閉弁位置では、前記シール部材の前記突出部は、前記弁座側への突出量が小さくなるように圧縮されて弾性変形され、且つ環状の前記突出部の内径側及び外径側の両側へ膨出するように弾性変形され、前記シール部材の前記窪み部は、前記弁座側へ膨出するように弾性変形される。 In a fourth aspect, in the pressure regulating valve of the third aspect described above, in the valve closing position of the valve body, the protruding portion of the sealing member is configured such that the amount of protrusion toward the valve seat side is small. The seal member is compressed and elastically deformed, and is elastically deformed so as to bulge toward both inner and outer diameter sides of the annular protrusion, and the recessed portion of the seal member bulges toward the valve seat. It is elastically deformed.
 上記第4の態様によれば、閉弁位置で、シール部材の突出部が圧縮変形されるのに伴い、突出部は、弁体の内外両側へ膨出して弾性変形され、窪み部は、弁座側へ膨出して弾性変形される。そのため、シール部材の外径側端縁部が弁本体の平面部から剥離する力を受けるのを抑制し、シール部材の耐久性を高めることができる。 According to the fourth aspect, as the protruding part of the seal member is compressed and deformed in the valve closed position, the protruding part bulges out to both the inner and outer sides of the valve body and is elastically deformed, and the recessed part It bulges toward the seat side and is elastically deformed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the outer diameter side edge portion of the seal member from receiving a force that causes it to peel off from the flat surface portion of the valve body, thereby increasing the durability of the seal member.
