A gas solenoid valve includes: a housing; a main valve body; a guide member; a first biasing member that is disposed in a housing space formed inward of the guide member to surround the main valve body and biases the main valve body in an opening direction; a second biasing member; and an electromagnetic drive device. The housing space is spaced apart from one end of the guide member in the opening direction. A buffer groove is formed at the one end of the guide member to surround an opening end of an inner hole of the guide member.

Gas solenoid valve

A gas solenoid valve includes: a housing including a first port, a second port, and a valve port leading to the first port and the second port; a main valve body capable of moving between a closed position thereof closing the valve port and an open position thereof opening the valve port and configured to move in an opening direction from the closed position to the open position by pressure of gas supplied through the first port; a biasing member that provides a biasing force acting in a closing direction to the main valve body to position the main valve body in the closed position; and an electromagnetic drive device that generates an excitation force opposing the biasing force of the biasing member to cause the main valve body to move to the open position. A damping chamber in the housing dampens movement of the main valve body.

There is provided a check valve capable of effectively suppressing the generation of chattering. The check valve includes: a housing including an inlet channel, a valve chest, and an outlet channel; a seat member provided around the inlet channel, the seat member including a seat portion; a valve element pressed against the seat portion to close the inlet channel; a biasing member configured to push the valve element toward a valve seat; a guide portion provided at the housing and configured to guide the valve element when the valve element moves in an axial direction; and a damper chamber communicating with the valve chest through a space between the valve element and the guide portion, the damper chamber being configured to attenuate axial moving force of the valve element. The biasing member is arranged in the valve chest.
