Abstract

The control valve device includes a valve body having a stacked first body and second body. The first body includes a first oil passage, a filter covering an opening of the first oil passage, a first accommodating part recessed from a first boundary surface surrounding the opening of the first oil passage, and two second accommodating parts which are more recessed than the first accommodating part from the first boundary surface on outer sides of opposite end portions of the first accommodating part. The filter includes a filter part covering the opening of the first oil passage and two leaf springs respectively disposed in the two second accommodating parts, and an end portion of each of the leaf springs comes into contact with a first wall surface of the second accommodating parts facing the first oil passage side.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control valve device comprising:
a valve body provided with a flow path for a fluid and including a valve element that opens and closes the flow path, wherein
the valve body includes:
a first body; and
a second body stacked on the first body, wherein
a first oil passage opening at a first boundary surface in the first body adjacent to the second body is provided in the first body,
a second oil passage which is a flow path opening at a second boundary surface in the second body adjacent to the first body is provided in the second body,
the first body further includes:
a filter covering an opening of the first oil passage;
a first accommodating part recessed in a direction away from the first boundary surface at a certain region surrounding the opening of the first oil passage; and
two second accommodating parts which are more recessed than the first accommodating part in the direction away from the first boundary surface on outer sides of opposite end portions of the first accommodating part with the first oil passage interposed therebetween,
the filter includes:
a plate-shaped filter part; and
two leaf springs extending from opposite end portions of the filter part and bent in a thickness direction of the filter part, wherein
the filter part is disposed in the first accommodating part and sandwiched between the first body and the second body to cover the opening of the first oil passage, and
the two leaf springs are respectively disposed in the two second accommodating parts, and an end portion of each of the leaf springs comes into contact with a first wall surface of each of the second accommodating parts facing a first oil passage side.

2. The control valve device according to claim 1 , wherein each end portion of the two leaf springs comes into contact with each first wall surface of the two second accommodating parts and biases each first wall surface in a direction away from the first oil passage.

3. The control valve device according to claim 1 , wherein a dimension between each first wall surface of the two second accommodating parts is smaller than a dimension between opposite end portions of the filter.

4. The control valve device according to claim 2 , wherein a dimension between each first wall surface of the two second accommodating parts is smaller than a dimension between opposite end portions of the filter.

5. The control valve device according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the leaf springs includes a bent part extending from each end portion of the filter part toward a bottom surface side of each of the second accommodating parts and folding back toward a first boundary surface side, and
the end portion of each of the leaf springs folded back toward the first boundary surface side comes into contact with the first wall surface of each of the second accommodating parts.

6. The control valve device according to claim 5 , wherein
the leaf spring includes a side surface from the bent part of the leaf spring to the end portion of the leaf spring that comes into contact with the first wall surface of the second accommodating part, wherein the side surface of the leaf spring comes into contact with the first wall surface, or
the leaf spring includes a side surface from an end portion of the leaf spring on a filter part side to the bent part of the leaf spring, wherein the side surface of the leaf spring comes into contact with a second wall surface of the second accommodating part.

7. The control valve device according to claim 5 , wherein a dimension from a bottom surface of the first accommodating part to the bottom surface of the second accommodating part is greater than a dimension of the leaf spring from a bottom surface of the filter part to the bent part.

8. The control valve device according to claim 1 , wherein a dimension from a bottom surface of the first accommodating part to the first boundary surface is equal to or greater than a thickness of the filter part.

9. The control valve device according to claim 1 , wherein
the valve body includes a separator plate between the first body and the second body,
the separator plate includes an opening that communicates with both the first oil passage of the first body and the second oil passage of the second body, and
an area of the filter part is equal to or greater than an area of the opening of the separator plate.

10. The control valve device according to claim 1 , wherein
the filter part is a plate-shaped member in which a plurality of holes are provided, and
an area of a region in which the plurality of holes are provided in the plate-shaped member is equal to or greater than an area of the opening of the first oil passage.

11. The control valve device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first body includes:
a plurality of first oil passages;
a plurality of filters which respectively covers openings of the plurality of first oil passages; and
a plurality of first accommodating parts and a plurality of second accommodating parts in which the plurality of filters are respectively disposed.

12. The control valve device according to claim 11 , wherein the valve element is a spool valve opening and closing the plurality of first oil passages.

13. The control valve device according to claim 1 , wherein the filter is provided on a body of the first body and the second body in which the first boundary surface or the second boundary surface is positioned on an upper side of the body in the direction of gravity.
