Abstract

A fluid control valve and manufacturing method thereof, wherein, when a pressing force acts on the engagement surface between a diaphragm member and a valve seat-contacting member, the valve seat-contacting member is not displaced and no gap is formed. The diaphragm member made of a first fluorine-based resin material is provided with a diaphragm membrane and a rod-shaped part in the center of the diaphragm membrane. The valve seat-contacting member made of an injection-moldable second fluorine-based resin material is provided with a ring-shaped sealing surface and a recess on the opposite side from the ring-shaped sealing surface. The rod-shaped part is partly fitted into the recess. A ring-shaped recessed is formed on outer circumference of a portion of the rod-shaped part. A small diameter recess is formed on the inner circumference of the recess. The ring-shaped recess section and the small diameter recess adhere closely to form the engagement surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fluid control valve manufacturing method of manufacturing a fluid control valve comprising a valve main body provided with a valve seat, a valve element provided with a valve-seat contact member configured to be in and out of contact with the valve seat and a diaphragm member, and a drive section configured to move the valve element in its axial direction, wherein
the diaphragm member made of a first fluorine resin material is provided with a web portion and a bar-like portion in a center of the web portion,
the valve-seat contact member made of a second fluorine resin material, which is allowed to be insert-molded, is provided with a valve-seat contact surface and a recessed portion on a side opposite to the valve-seat contact surface,
a part of the bar-like portion is fitted in the recessed portion,
an uneven surface of the bar-like portion and an uneven surface of the recessed portion are in close contact with each other to form an engagement, and
the method includes an insert molding step of inserting a first bar and injection-molding a second bar and a step of cutting the first bar into a shape of the diaphragm member and cutting the second bar into a shape of the valve-seat contact member.

2. The fluid control valve manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the first fluorine resin material is PTFE and the second fluorine resin material is PFA.

3. The fluid control valve manufacturing method according to claim 2 , wherein the bar-like portion and the recessed portion are provided with a rotation restriction part.

4. The fluid control valve manufacturing method according to claim 3 , wherein the recessed portion extends over an annular recess formed on an outer circumferential surface of the bar-like portion toward the web portion.

5. The fluid control valve manufacturing method according to claim 3 , wherein the engagement partly has a slanting surface slanted away from the web portion as the slanting surface approaches an outer circumference of the engagement.

6. The fluid control valve manufacturing method according to claim 3 , wherein the engagement partly has a slanting surface that is slanted by a degree range of 5 degrees or more and 15 degrees or less with respect to a horizontal plane in a radial direction.
