Abstract

A pressure control device reliably preventing foreign matter from flowing beyond a filter unit to the downstream side. The pressure control device includes a body and a cylindrical filter unit. The body has a flow path including a groove and a widened part. A depth of the groove from an upper surface to a bottom is a first depth. The widened part is connected to the groove, extends from the upper surface to the bottom, and has a width larger than a width of the groove. The filter unit is housed along a depth direction of the widened part to capture foreign matter mixed in a fluid passing through the flow path. A depth of the widened part from the upper surface to a bottom surface is a second depth larger than the first depth. The widened part includes a receiving part that a part of the filter unit enters.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A pressure control device, comprising:
a body having a flow path that comprises a groove and a widened part, wherein a depth of the groove from a surface to a first bottom is a first depth, and the widened part is connected to the groove, extends from the surface to the first bottom, and has a width larger than a width of the groove, and
the body further includes a lower body and an upper body, wherein the lower body includes a lower body main body and a separate plate disposed to overlap on an upper side of the lower body main body, the upper body is disposed to overlap the lower body with the separate plate in between, and an oil passage is provided in both the lower body and the upper body; and
a cylindrical filter unit housed along a depth direction of the widened part to capture foreign matter mixed in a fluid that passes through the flow path,
wherein a depth of the widened part from the surface to a second bottom is a second depth larger than the first depth, and the widened part comprises a receiving part that a part of the filter unit enters, and
wherein the filter unit comprises a cylindrical frame and a flat plate-shaped filter member, wherein the frame comprises a through hole part that penetrates in a direction orthogonal to a central axis of the frame, and the filter member blocks the through hole part and is disposed along the central axis of the frame, and
wherein the filter unit comprises a regulation part that regulates an arrangement direction with respect to the groove.

2. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , further comprising a step at a boundary between the receiving part and the groove.

3. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein the receiving part has a flat bottom surface, with which an end surface on one side of the filter unit is in contact when the filter unit is housed in the widened part.

4. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein the frame comprises blocking wall parts that respectively block both sides of the frame in a central axis direction thereof, and
one of the blocking wall parts enters the receiving part when the filter unit is housed in the widened part.

5. The pressure control device according to claim 4 , wherein a thickness of the one of the blocking wall parts is the same as a depth of the receiving part.

6. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein the regulation part comprises a protrusion that protrudes toward the groove positioned on an upstream side or a downstream side of the widened part.

7. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein the regulation part is constituted by a non-circular portion.
