Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In a decompression valve, a valve mechanism housed in a body has a valve body that can be seated on a valve seat facing a valve chamber into which high pressure fluid is introduced, and a valve shaft that has one end linked to a pressure receiving member operable in association with pressure of a decompression chamber communicating with a valve hole surrounded by the valve seat and that extends through the valve hole while having the other end facing a back pressure chamber communicating with the decompression chamber, and the valve body is fitted around the outer periphery of the valve shaft. The valve body ( 36 ) is fitted around the outer periphery of the valve shaft ( 35 ) while allowing circulation of fluid between the valve chamber ( 32 ) and the back pressure chamber ( 65 ) via a space between the valve body ( 36 ) and the valve shaft ( 35 ), and an annular seal member ( 46 ) present between the valve chamber ( 32 ) and the back pressure chamber ( 65 ) is disposed between the outer periphery of the valve body ( 36 ) and a guide member ( 30 ) fixed to the body ( 16 ) so as to guide axial movement of the valve shaft ( 35 ). Accordingly, it is possible to reduce a number of seal members for providing sealing between a valve chamber and a decompression chamber and thus to reduce the cost.
