VALVE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240052940 titled 'VALVE DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a valve device with a housing, a valve accommodation chamber, and a cantilevered valve body that opens and closes a passage for fluid flow.
- The housing has an upstream side passage and a downstream side passage for fluid flow.
- A valve accommodation chamber is located between the upstream and downstream side passages.
- An opening part is situated at the downstream end of the upstream side passage.
- The cantilevered valve body is placed in the valve accommodation chamber and has a support part that is elastically deformable.
- The valve body also has a plate-shaped valve part that opens and closes the opening part.
- The downstream side passage expands along the plane of the valve part when fully opened.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Fluid control systems in industrial processes
- Water treatment systems
- HVAC systems
- Automotive systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient control of fluid flow
- Prevention of backflow
- Reliable operation in various conditions
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved fluid flow control
- Enhanced durability and reliability
- Simplified design for ease of maintenance.
Original Abstract Submitted
a valve device includes: a housing h, defining an upstream side passage and a downstream side passage through which a fluid passes, a valve accommodation chamber h interposed between the upstream side passage and the downstream side passage, and an opening part located at a downstream end of the upstream side passage; and a cantilevered valve body , disposed in the valve accommodation chamber, and having a support part that is elastically deformable and cantilevered and, on a free end side of the support part, a valve part that is plate-shaped and opening and closing the opening part. in the valve device, the downstream side passage is formed to expand in a direction along a plane of the valve part in a state in which the valve part is fully opened.
