Abstract

There is provided a fluid controller actuator which does not require a plurality of bolts for fixing an inner side spring presser to a casing, in which a configuration is simple and a biasing force of an biasing member can be adjusted from the outside after the assembly. An inner side spring presser includes a shaft portion and a cylinder portion provided at a lower edge portion of the shaft portion, and presses an upper side peripheral edge portion of a through hole of a biasing member by a lower end of the cylinder portion. The shaft portion penetrates an outer side spring presser and extends upwardly. An adjustment screw which positions the inner side spring presser as a lower end abuts against an upper surface of the shaft portion of the inner side spring presser, is screwed to a top wall of a casing.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A fluid controller actuator, comprising:
a casing which is attached above a body;
a biasing member which is configured by a plurality of disc-shaped diaphragm springs having a through hole at the central portion thereof, and biases a valve rod downwardly by a lower side peripheral edge portion of the through hole;
an inner side spring presser which presses an upper side peripheral edge portion of the through hole of the biasing member downwardly;
an outer side spring presser which presses an outer peripheral edge portion of the biasing member downwardly; and
an operation air introduction chamber which presses the outer side spring presser downwardly as operation air is introduced,
wherein, in a state where the operation air is not introduced into the operation air introduction chamber, the biasing member is elastically deformed so that a protrusion amount with respect to a shape of protrusion which is downward in a natural state is small, and biases the valve rod downwardly and the outer side spring presser upwardly, respectively, and, as the operation air is introduced into the operation air introduction chamber, the outer side spring presser is pressed downwardly, and the biasing member is deformed upwardly in a shape of protrusion, and
wherein the inner side spring presser has a shaft portion and a cylinder portion which is provided on a lower end portion of the shaft portion, and presses the upper side peripheral edge portion of the through hole of the biasing member by a lower end of the cylinder portion, the shaft portion penetrates the outer side spring presser and extends upwardly, and an adjustment screw which positions the inner side spring presser as the lower end abuts against an upper surface of the shaft portion of the inner side spring presser, is screwed to a top wall of the casing.

2. The fluid controller actuator according to claim 1 ,
wherein, a counter plate is fixed to the casing at a position above the outer side spring presser, a piston provided with a through hole into which the shaft portion of the inner side spring presser is inserted is disposed between the top wall of the casing and the counter plate, the piston has a downward projection portion which penetrates the counter plate and in which a lower surface abuts against the upper surface of the outer side spring presser, the operation air introduction chamber into which the operation air is introduced is provided on an side above the piston, the operation air in the operation air introduction chamber can flow to a side above the upper surface of the outer side spring presser from a void formed between an outer peripheral surface of the shaft portion of the inner side spring presser and a peripheral surface of the through hole of the piston, and both of the piston and the outer side spring presser are pressed downwardly by the operation air when the operation air is introduced.
