VALVE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240280181 titled 'VALVE DEVICE

The abstract describes a valve device with two valve elements that have sliding surfaces opposing each other to control the opening degree between two flow passages.

The first valve element has a sliding surface facing the second valve element, while the second valve element has a sliding surface facing the first valve element.
The sliding surfaces are designed to slide relative to each other to adjust the opening between the flow passages.
At least one sliding surface has an edge portion joined to a sloped surface sloped at an acute angle relative to the mating sliding surface.
This design allows for precise control and adjustment of the flow passages in the valve device.

Potential Applications: - Industrial valves - Hydraulic systems - Pneumatic systems

Problems Solved: - Precise control of flow passages - Efficient regulation of fluid flow

Benefits: - Improved performance and efficiency in fluid control systems - Enhanced durability and reliability of valve devices

Commercial Applications: - Manufacturing industries - Automotive sector - Aerospace industry

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the design of the sliding surfaces contribute to the functionality of the valve device? 2. What are the potential advantages of using this valve device in hydraulic systems?

Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on optimizing flow control mechanisms in valve devices.

Original Abstract Submitted

a valve device includes a first valve element and a second valve element. the first valve element has a first sliding surface which is opposed to the second valve element. the second valve element has a second sliding surface which is opposed to the first valve element. the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface are configured to slide relative to each other to change an opening degree of an opening between a first flow passage and a second flow passage. an edge portion of at least one sliding surface among the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface is joined to a sloped surface which is sloped by an acute angle relative to a mating sliding surface which is another sliding surface among the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface and mates with the at least one sliding surface.
