A valve includes a housing, plural rotors in the housing, a linkage mechanism that links the rotors, and an electric actuator. The rotors include a drive rotor driven and rotated by the electric actuator and a driven rotor to which a driving rotational force is transmitted from the drive rotor via the linkage mechanism. The linkage mechanism includes a contact portion and a contacted portion. The linkage mechanism can select between a transmission mode and a non-transmission mode by selecting a rotational direction of the drive rotor, the transmission mode being a mode in which the contact portion is in contact with the contacted portion so as to transmit the driving rotational force to the driven rotor, and the non-transmission mode being a mode in which the contact portion is separated from the contacted portion so as not to transmit the driving rotational force to the driven rotor.

Rotary valve

A valve device includes: a housing having a cylindrical internal peripheral wall; a fluid introduction path communicating with a space in the internal peripheral wall; a fluid discharge path communicating with the space in the internal peripheral wall; a valve element having a communication path bringing the fluid introduction and fluid discharge paths into communication with each other, and having a major radial portion formed with a predetermined first internal radius associated with an internal radius of the internal peripheral wall of the housing, a minor radial portion formed with a second internal radius, and an intermediate portion formed to join the major and minor radial portions together; a valve element rotation mechanism rotating the valve element inside the space; a seal member being able to contact the valve element rotating inside the space; and a shaft inserted in the space through a through-hole formed in the housing.

Valve device and assembly method of valve device

A refrigerant control valve apparatus includes a valve body accommodated inside a valve housing, the valve housing being formed with an inlet port and a discharge port. A seal mechanism includes a seal body and a biasing mechanism. The seal mechanism is provided with a first pressure receiving surface receiving pressure of the refrigerant, which acts in a direction same as a biasing direction of the biasing mechanism, and a second pressure receiving surface receiving pressure of the refrigerant, which acts in a direction opposite to the biasing direction of the biasing mechanism. The first pressure receiving surface and the second first pressure receiving surface are formed to include an equal area to each other, and the seal mechanism is accommodated within a seal accommodation space such that pressure of the refrigerant from the inlet port acts on the first pressure receiving surface and the second pressure receiving surface.

Refrigerant control valve apparatus

A refrigerant control valve apparatus which maintains improved sealing ability while being restrained from being enlarged includes a housing including a first discharge port and a second discharge port which includes a smaller diameter than the first discharge port, a rotor rotatably housed at the housing, a bore portion provided at an outer wall portion of the rotor to control a flow of refrigerant relative to the first discharge port and the second discharge port, a second seal portion of the second discharge port being configured to make contact with an edge portion of the bore portion in a case where the rotor is specified at any rotation position for sending out the refrigerant to the second discharge port.

A refrigerant control valve device includes: a spherical rotor having an opening and rotating about a rotation axis; a housing including at least one circumferential port, and an axial port, the housing allowing a refrigerant to flow therein and the rotor being accommodated in the housing; at least one hole formed in the rotor and allowing the internal space of the rotor and the circumferential port to communicate with each other when the rotor rotates; a ring-shaped seal member installed coaxially with the circumferential port; a biasing member applying a biasing force to the seal member; a packing body provided between the housing and an outer diameter portion of the seal member; and a fixing member holding the packing body with the housing in a direction in which the circumferential port extends.

Refrigerant control valve device

A refrigerant control valve apparatus includes a valve body provided with a main control valve controlling the refrigerant sent to a discharge port and a temperature sensing control valve controlling supply and discharge of the refrigerant to a temperature sensing chamber. A fail-safe mechanism is provided which supplies the refrigerant to the discharge port in a case where the temperature of the refrigerant exceeds a set value. The temperature sensing control valve is set in an open posture in a case where the main control valve is in a closed posture that closes the discharge port and the temperature sensing control valve is set in a closed posture in a case where the main control valve is in an open posture that opens the discharge port.

A gas introducing structure of an intake path includes a gas introducing path introducing a gas into an intake airflow in the intake path of an internal combustion engine, wherein an inner peripheral surface of the gas introducing path is made of a bottom surface appearing as a straight line at a lower side of a perpendicular cross section of the inner peripheral surface and a curved wall surface appearing as a convex curved line, connecting with each end of the straight line at an angle, at an upper side of the perpendicular cross section of the inner peripheral surface.
