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.
