Abstract

Fluid control valve including a valve body and an energizing member. The body is engaged with one end of a rotating shaft and moves along an axial direction of the shaft based on shaft rotation. The body opens and closes a first opening by the outer periphery, and one end comes into contact with and separates from a second opening. The member energizes the body on another end side of the shaft. A portion abutting on the second opening and a flow passage in which a fluid flows are at the one end of the body in the case where the first opening is fully closed. Since a valve-closed position of the body can be secured, and fluid flows in the flow passage, when a low flow rate is controlled, a stable flow rate is secured without closing the second opening which is a suction port in a valve-closed position.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A flow rate control valve, comprising:
a body including a first opening through which a fluid passes and a second opening through which a fluid passes;
a rotating shaft rotatable in normal and reverse directions by a driving source;
a valve body engaged with one end of the rotating shaft, the valve body which opens and closes the first opening by an outer periphery and of which one end comes into contact with and separates from the second opening, by moving along an axial direction of the rotating shaft based on rotation of the rotating shaft; and
an energizing member configured to energize the valve body on another end side of the rotating shaft,
wherein an abutting portion abutting on the second opening and a flow passage in which a fluid flows are provided to the one end of the valve body in a case where the first opening is fully closed by the outer periphery of the valve.

2. The flow rate control valve according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the abutting portions are provided in a circumferential direction of the valve body at predetermined intervals, and the flow passage is provided between adjacent abutting portions in the circumferential direction.

3. The flow rate control valve according to claim 2 , wherein the abutting portion includes an inclined surface which inclines on an axial side of the valve body as moving on one end side of the valve body and abuts on the second opening.

4. The flow rate control valve according to claim 1 , wherein an abutting portion which abuts on one end of the rotating shaft is provided in a case where the valve body moves on another end side in an axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the first opening is fully opened by the outer periphery of the valve body.

5. The flow rate control valve according to claim 2 , wherein an abutting portion which abuts on one end of the rotating shaft is provided in a case where the valve body moves on another end side in an axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the first opening is fully opened by the outer periphery of the valve body.

6. The flow rate control valve according to claim 3 , wherein an abutting portion which abuts on one end of the rotating shaft is provided in a case where the valve body moves on another end side in an axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the first opening is fully opened by the outer periphery of the valve body.
