Abstract

Provided is a fluid controller capable of cost reduction and performance improvement. Movable members 12 and 13 moved manually or automatically and for moving the disk 9 are tubular in shape and include a fitting portion 13 a to be fitted to an outer periphery of the disk 9 . The disk 9 is provided with a flange portion 9 c , and the tubular movable members 12 and 13 are provided at a lower end portion thereof with a flange portion 35 to be brought into contact with the flange portion 9 c of the disk 9 from above.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fluid controller comprising:
a diaphragm moved so as to open and close a fluid passage;
a diaphragm presser for moving the diaphragm to a closing position in which the fluid passage is in a closed state and an opening position in which the fluid passage is in an open state;
a disk, separately formed from the diaphragm presser, configured to hold at an end portion thereof the diaphragm presser; and
a tubular movable member, separately formed from the disk, configured to move the disk to a closing position or an opening position manually or automatically, wherein
the tubular movable member includes a tubular fitting portion in contact with an outer periphery of the disk,
the disk is provided at a part thereof with a flange portion coming into contact with a flange portion of the tubular movable member at a time of movement of the tubular movable member,
moving means for moving the tubular movable member is means for automatic movement, which is performed by introduction or discharge of a compressed fluid to a compressed fluid introduction chamber formed in a casing,
a first cylinder portion and a second cylinder portion partitioned by a counter plate are formed in the casing, and the means for automatic movement includes a first piston guided in the first cylinder portion and moving integrally with the tubular movable member, and a second piston guided in the second cylinder portion and moving integrally with the tubular movable member,
wherein
the tubular movable member consists of: a second tubular body having the fitting portion; and a first tubular body formed separately from the second tubular body, and
the first piston and the second piston are both formed separately from the tubular movable member,
wherein the first tubular body has an end portion that fits to the first piston and an intermediate portion that is provided with a flange coming into contact with the second piston.

2. The fluid controller according to claim 1 , wherein
the casing includes a first casing and a second casing formed separately from the first casing,
and
the counter plate is provided on an outer periphery thereof with a male screw portion and on an inner periphery thereof with a female screw portion, the first screw portion is screwed to the first casing, and the second screw portion is screwed to the second casing.

3. The fluid controller according to claim 2 , further comprising: manual movement means for moving the disk manually, wherein
the manual movement means includes a rodlike movable member for pressing the disk in one direction by being moved by manual operation, and
the rodlike movable member is moved by manual operation to an automatic opening and closing disabled position in which an end portion of the rodlike movable member presses a middle portion of a top surface of the disk in one direction and to an automatic opening and closing enabled position in which the end portion is away from the middle portion of the top surface of the disk, the tubular movable member is fitted to the rodlike movable member in a relatively movable manner, and is moved to a closing position in which the tubular movable member is biased by an elastic member and presses the disk in one direction and to an opening position in which an end portion of the tubular movable member is away from the flange portion of the disk by the means for automatic movement, and a closed state in an event of emergency is realized in which the rodlike movable member is moved to the closing position when the tubular movable member is in the opening position.

4. A fluid controller comprising:
a diaphragm moved so as to open and close a fluid passage;
a diaphragm presser for moving the diaphragm to a closing position in which the fluid passage is in a closed state and an opening position in which the fluid passage is in an open state;
a disk, separately formed from the diaphragm presser, configured to hold at an end portion thereof the diaphragm presser; and
a tubular movable member, separately formed from the disk, configured to move the disk to a closing position or an opening position manually or automatically, wherein
the tubular movable member includes a tubular fitting portion in contact with an outer periphery of the disk, and
the disk is provided at a part thereof with a flange portion coming into contact with a flange portion of the tubular movable member at a time of movement of the tubular movable member,
moving means for moving the tubular movable member is means for automatic movement, which is performed by introduction or discharge of a compressed fluid to a compressed fluid introduction chamber formed in a casing,
the casing includes a first casing and a second casing formed separately from the first casing,
a first cylinder portion and a second cylinder portion partitioned by a counter plate are formed in the casing, and the means for automatic movement includes a first piston guided in the first cylinder portion and moving integrally with the tubular movable member, and a second piston guided in the second cylinder portion and moving integrally with the tubular movable member, and
the counter plate is provided on an outer periphery thereof with a male screw portion and on an inner periphery thereof with a female screw portion, the male screw portion is screwed to the first casing, and the female screw portion is screwed to the second casing,
wherein
the tubular movable member consists of: a second tubular body having the fitting portion; and a first tubular body formed separately from the second tubular body, and
the first piston and the second piston are both formed separately from the tubular movable member,
wherein the first tubular body has an end portion that fits to the first piston and an intermediate portion that is provided with a flange coming into contact with the second piston.
