Abstract

A control valve includes a casing that has a port in which an outflow opening is formed, a joint that is joined to an opening end surface of an outflow opening in the port, a rotor that is rotatably accommodated inside the casing, a slide ring that has a slide surface for sliding on an outer circumferential surface of the rotor, a sealing ring that is interposed between an inner circumferential surface of the port and an outer circumferential surface of the slide ring, and a holder that is disposed between the inner circumferential surface of the port and the outer circumferential surface of the slide ring and holds the sealing ring from an outer side in a port axial direction with respect to the sealing ring. The holder is disposed to be separated from at least any of the joint and the port.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control valve comprising:
a casing having an outflow port which is open in a first direction and in which an outflow opening for a fluid is formed;
a joint that is joined to an opening end surface of the outflow opening in the outflow port;
a rotor that is rotatably accommodated inside the casing and has a communication opening formed to be able to communicate with the outflow opening;
a slide ring that has a slide surface for sliding on an outer circumferential surface of the rotor while being accommodated inside the outflow port and communicates the outflow opening and the communication opening in accordance with a rotational position of the rotor;
a spring that is interposed between the joint and the slide ring and biasing the slide ring toward the rotor; a sealing ring that is interposed between an inner circumferential surface of the outflow port and an outer circumferential surface of the slide ring; and
a holder that is disposed between the inner circumferential surface of the outflow port and the outer circumferential surface of the slide ring and holds the sealing ring from an opposite side of the rotor in the first direction with respect to the sealing ring,
wherein the holder is disposed to be separated from at least any of the joint and the outflow port,
wherein the holder includes
a holder tube portion which surrounds the periphery of the slide ring, and
a holder flange portion which bulges outward from the holder tube portion, and

wherein the outflow port has a first regulation portion which comes into contact with the holder flange portion in the first direction and regulates movement of the holder to the rotor side in the first direction with respect to the casing.

2. The control valve according to claim 1 ,
wherein the slide ring includes
a small diameter portion having the outer circumferential surface on which the sealing ring slides, and
a large diameter portion which is positioned on the rotor side in the first direction with respect to the small diameter portion and is increased in diameter with respect to the small diameter portion,

wherein a surface of the large diameter portion facing the rotor in the first direction configures the slide surface,
wherein a surface of the large diameter portion facing the opposite side of the rotor in the first direction configures a facing surface facing the sealing ring in the first direction, and
wherein an area of the slide surface is greater than an area of the facing surface.

3. The control valve according to claim 1 ,
wherein the holder is disposed to be movable in the first direction with respect to the casing and the joint.

4. The control valve according to claim 1 ,
wherein a second regulation portion which protrudes in the first direction from the holder tube portion and regulates movement of the spring in a second direction intersecting the first direction is formed in the holder.

5. The control valve according to claim 1 ,
wherein the outflow port includes
a port joining portion which is positioned in an outer circumferential part, and
a sealing wall which is positioned on the inner circumferential side with respect to the port joining portion and has an inner circumferential surface on which the sealing ring slides,

wherein the joint includes a joint joining portion which is joined to the port joining portion, and
wherein a burr accommodation portion which accommodates burrs generated when the port joining portion and the joint joining portion are joined to each other is formed between the sealing wall, and the port joining portion and the joint joining portion.
