VALVE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240035579 titled 'VALVE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a valve device that consists of a housing and a cylindrical valve body. The housing has an inflow port, a first outflow port, a second outflow port, and an accommodation chamber. The valve body is located in the accommodation chamber and is responsible for opening and closing the first and second outflow ports. It includes an internal passage, a first outflow communication port that expands in one direction continuously with a region facing the first outflow port, and a second outflow communication port that expands in the other direction continuously with a region facing the second outflow port.

  • The valve device includes a housing and a cylindrical valve body.
  • The housing has an inflow port, a first outflow port, a second outflow port, and an accommodation chamber.
  • The first and second outflow ports are opened apart in a circumferential direction and have different opening widths.
  • The valve body is located in the accommodation chamber and is responsible for opening and closing the first and second outflow ports.
  • The valve body includes an internal passage, a first outflow communication port, and a second outflow communication port.
  • The first outflow communication port expands in one direction continuously with a region facing the first outflow port and has a larger opening width than the first outflow port.
  • The second outflow communication port expands in the other direction continuously with a region facing the second outflow port and has a larger opening width than the second outflow port.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Fluid control systems in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.
  • Plumbing systems for regulating water flow.
  • HVAC systems for controlling air flow.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient and precise control of fluid flow.
  • Prevention of backflow or leakage.
  • Improved performance and reliability of valve systems.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced efficiency and accuracy in fluid control.
  • Reduced risk of system failure or damage.
  • Increased durability and lifespan of valve devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

a valve device includes a housing and a cylindrical valve body. the housing defines: an inflow port; a first outflow port and a second outflow port which are opened apart in a circumferential direction and respectively have first and second opening widths; and an accommodation chamber. the valve body is arranged in the accommodation chamber to open and close the first and second outflow ports and includes: an internal passage; a first outflow communication port which expands in one direction in the circumferential direction continuously with a region facing the first outflow port, and has an opening width larger than the first opening width; and a second outflow communication port which expands in the other direction in the circumferential direction continuously with a region facing the second outflow port, and has an opening width larger than the second opening width.
