Abstract

A plug member of a gas valve, having an axial bore, a first bore and a second bore located in a radial direction thereof to respectively communicate with the axial bore, and a first guiding slot and a second guiding slot recessed into an outer peripheral surface thereof. The first bore is larger than the second bore, and communicates with one end of the first guiding slot, while another end thereof is near the second bore. The first guiding slot becomes narrower from the first end to the second end. The second guiding slot has one end communicating with the second bore, and another end located between said first end and said second end.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A plug member of a gas valve, having an axial bore located in an axial direction thereof, a first bore, and a second bore, which are located in a radial direction thereof, wherein the first bore and the second bore communicate with the axial bore, respectively; a cross-sectional diameter of the first bore is larger than a cross-sectional diameter of the second bore; the plug member is characterized in that:
a first guiding slot and a second guiding slot are recessed into an outer peripheral surface of the plug member, wherein the first guiding slot extends from the first bore to the second bore, and has a first end and a second end; the first end communicates with the first bore; the second end is near the second bore without physically communicating with the second bore; a width of the first guiding slot on the outer peripheral surface of the plug member decreases gradually from the first end to the second end; the second guiding slot extends from the second bore to the first bore, and has a third end and a fourth end; the third end communicates with the second bore; the fourth end is located between the first end and the second end of the first guiding slot without physically communicating with the first guiding slot, wherein the width of the second end of the first guiding slot converges to a pointed tip on the outer peripheral surface of the plug member.

2. The plug member of claim 1 , wherein the fourth end of the second guiding slot is a tip.

3. The plug member of claim 1 , wherein an extending direction of the first guiding slot is parallel to an extending direction of the second guiding slot.

4. The plug member of claim 1 , wherein the second guiding slot comprises a first slot section connected to a second slot section; the first slot section has the third end, while the second slot section has the fourth end; the first slot section has a consistent width; a width of the second slot section decreases gradually from the first slot section to the fourth end.

5. The plug member of claim 1 , wherein a width of the second guiding slot increases gradually from the fourth end to the second bore.

6. The plug member of claim 1 , wherein a first oil groove is recessed into the outer peripheral surface of the plug member; the second end of the first guiding slot is located between the first oil groove and the second guiding slot.

7. The plug member of claim 1 , wherein a second oil groove is recessed into the outer peripheral surface of the plug member; the second guiding slot is located between the second oil groove and the first guiding slot.
