Abstract

A fluid control valve includes: a housing having an inflow port and an outflow port of a fluid; a first magnetic body in which a circulation hole is provided; a solenoid causing a magnetic flux to flow through the first magnetic body; a second magnetic body attracted to the first magnetic body by flowing of the magnetic flux generated from the solenoid to abut against a peripheral portion of the circulation hole to close the circulation hole; a biasing member biasing the second magnetic body in a direction of separating from the first magnetic body; and a stopper fixed to the housing on a side of the outflow port and preventing movement of the second magnetic body by a biasing force of the biasing member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fluid control valve comprising:
a housing that has an inflow port and an outflow port of a fluid;
a first magnetic body in which a circulation hole through which the fluid circulates is provided;
a solenoid that causes a magnetic flux to flow through the first magnetic body;
a second magnetic body that is attracted to the first magnetic body by flowing of the magnetic flux generated from the solenoid so as to abut against a peripheral portion of the circulation hole to close the circulation hole;
a biasing member that biases the second magnetic body in a direction of separating from the first magnetic body;
a stopper that is fixed to the housing on a side of the outflow port and prevents movement of the second magnetic body by a biasing force of the biasing member;
a shaft member that moves inside the housing; and
a bottomed cylindrical support member that is fixed to the housing on a side of the inflow port with respect to the first magnetic body, supports one end portion side of the shaft member, and guides movement of the shaft member,
wherein the second magnetic body is formed on the other end portion side of the shaft member,
a fluid pressure receiving portion for receiving a pressure of the fluid flowing in from the inflow port is provided between the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body to face a closing surface of the second magnetic body capable of closing the circulation hole, and
the fluid pressure receiving portion is formed by enlarging a diameter of an end portion on a second magnetic body side in the support member outward in a radial direction.

2. The fluid control valve according to claim 1 ,
wherein a groove portion that is recessed to the outside in the radial direction with respect to the shaft member is formed on an inner surface of the support member, and
a small hole is formed to penetrate through a bottom portion of the support member.

3. The fluid control valve according to claim 2 ,
wherein a flow path throttling portion whose flow path area is throttled is formed at a portion of the flow path between a back surface of the second magnetic body abutting against the stopper and an inner surface of the housing.

4. The fluid control valve according to claim 3 ,
wherein a reservoir portion for storing the fluid circulating through the flow path throttling portion is formed on a side of the second magnetic body in the flow path throttling portion so as to be recessed on the inner surface of the housing.

5. The fluid control valve according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a bottomed cylindrical guide member that is fixed to the housing and has a bottom portion and a cylinder portion that is connected to an outer periphery of the bottom portion to guide the movement of the second magnetic body,
wherein the second magnetic body has a peripheral wall portion which is in sliding contact with an outer surface of the cylinder portion and a bottom wall portion including the closing surface, and
the fluid pressure receiving portion is configured with the bottom portion of the guide member facing the bottom wall portion.

6. The fluid control valve according to claim 5 ,
wherein a flow path throttling portion whose flow path area is throttled is formed at a portion of the flow path between a back surface of the second magnetic body abutting against the stopper and an inner surface of the housing.

7. The fluid control valve according to claim 6 ,
wherein a reservoir portion for storing the fluid circulating through the flow path throttling portion is formed on a side of the second magnetic body in the flow path throttling portion so as to be recessed on the inner surface of the housing.

8. The fluid control valve according to claim 1 ,
wherein a flow path throttling portion whose flow path area is throttled is formed at a portion of the flow path between a back surface of the second magnetic body abutting against the stopper and an inner surface of the housing.

9. The fluid control valve according to claim 8 ,
wherein a reservoir portion for storing the fluid circulating through the flow path throttling portion is formed on a side of the second magnetic body in the flow path throttling portion so as to be recessed on the inner surface of the housing.

10. The fluid control valve according to claim 9 ,
wherein the fluid pressure receiving portion for receiving the pressure of the fluid flowing in from the inflow port is provided between the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body so as to face the closing surface of the second magnetic body capable of closing the circulation hole.

11. The fluid control valve according to claim 8 ,
wherein the fluid pressure receiving portion for receiving the pressure of the fluid flowing in from the inflow port is provided between the first magnetic body and the second magnetic body so as to face the closing surface of the second magnetic body capable of closing the circulation hole.
