A control valve includes a poppet valve moving in an axial direction relative to a seat hole so as to change a flow-path cross-sectional area of the seat hole and a spring disc biasing the poppet valve in a valve opening direction against the return spring. The spring disc includes: a secondary-pressure receiving surface being a portion moving along with a movement of the poppet valve, the secondary-pressure receiving surface configured to receive secondary pressure introduced to the secondary port; and a pilot-pressure receiving surface configured to receive pilot pressure serving as a reference pressure. The spring disc deforms elastically in accordance with pressure difference between the secondary pressure and the pilot pressure to cause the poppet valve to move in the axial direction.

Control valve

A fluid pressure control device includes a switching valve that operates in conjunction with a control valve by a pilot pressure to switch an operation of an operated check valve. The switching valve includes a spool that moves according to the pilot pressure of a pilot chamber, and a piston that is accommodated in the pilot chamber and imparts a thrust force to the spool upon receiving the pilot pressure. The piston includes a first piston that is slidingly accommodated in the pilot chamber and is acted upon by the pilot pressure, and a second piston whose distal end faces the spool and is inserted into an accommodating hole formed in the first piston. A spherical protrusion is provided on a center of either one of a bottom surface of the accommodating hole of the first piston and a back surface of the second piston.
