Abstract

One embodiment provides a pressure buffer device including: a cylinder that stores fluid; a flow path forming portion that forms a flow path; and an opening-closing portion that opens and closes the flow path of the flow path forming portion. The fluid flows through the flow path forming portion in accordance with relative movement of a rod with respect to the cylinder in an axial direction of the cylinder. The flow path forming portion includes an annular first protruded portion and an annular second protruded portion protruded in the axial direction in opposite sides respectively. The second protruded portion has an axial end located at a radially outer side of the first protruded portion, and a tilt portion formed at least at a part of a radially-inner part of the second protruded portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A pressure buffer device, comprising:
a cylinder that stores fluid;
a flow path forming portion that forms a flow path through which the fluid flows in accordance with relative movement of a rod with respect to the cylinder in an axial direction of the cylinder; and
an opening-closing portion that opens and closes the flow path of the flow path forming portion, wherein
the flow path forming portion includes:
a first protruded portion that is formed annularly to be protruded in the axial direction, to which the opening-closing portion is contacted; and
a second protruded portion that is protruded in the axial direction toward a side opposite to the first protruded portion, that has an end, a linear portion and a tilt portion,

the end of the second protruded portion is located at a radially outer side of the first protruded portion,
the linear portion is formed in a straight line shape along the axial direction, and
the tilt portion is tilted with respect to the axial direction and extends from an end of the linear portion.

2. The pressure buffer device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the tilt portion is arranged at the radially outer side of the first protruded portion.

3. The pressure buffer device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the tilt portion includes:
a first tilt portion; and
a second tilt portion that is continued from the first tilt portion, and

wherein an angle of the second tilt portion with respect to the axial direction is different from an angle of the first tilt portion with respect to the axial direction.

4. The pressure buffer device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the tilt portion is arranged to be aligned with the first protruded portion in the axial direction.

5. The pressure buffer device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the flow path forming portion includes a third protruded portion that is protruded in the axial direction toward the side opposite to the first protruded portion and is located at a radially inner side of the first protruded portion and the second protruded portion,
the third protruded portion has an end in the axial direction, and
the tilt portion and the linear portion of the second protruded portion are disposed between the end of the second protruded portion and the end of the third protruded portion in the axial direction.

6. The pressure buffer device according to claim 1 , wherein the linear portion is located radially outside of the first protruded portion.

7. The pressure buffer device according to claim 1 , wherein a radially-outer surface of the flow path is located radially inside of the linear portion.

8. A flow path forming member, comprising:
a flow path portion through which fluid flows in accordance with relative movement of a rod with respect to a cylinder that stores fluid;
a first protruded portion that is formed annularly to be protruded in the axial direction, to which an opening-closing portion that opens and closes the flow path is contacted; and
a second protruded portion that is protruded in the axial direction toward a side opposite to the first protruded portion, that has an end, a linear portion and a tilt portion, wherein
the end of the second protruded portion is located at a radially outer side of the first protruded portion,
the linear portion is formed in a straight line shape along the axial direction, and
the tilt portion is tilted with respect to the axial direction and extends from a lower end of the linear portion.

9. The flow path forming member according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a third protruded portion that is protruded in the axial direction toward the side opposite to the first protruded portion and is located at a radially inner side of the first protruded portion and the second protruded portion, wherein
the third protruded portion has an end in the axial direction, and
the tilt portion and the linear portion of the second protruded portion are disposed between the end of the second protruded portion and the end of the third protruded portion in the axial direction.

10. The flow path forming member according to claim 8 , wherein the linear portion is located radially outside of the first protruded portion.

11. The flow path forming member according to claim 8 , wherein a radially-outer surface of the flow path is located radially inside of the linear portion.
