Abstract
A valve device includes a housing, a stationary disk, a drive device, a shaft and a rotor. The stationary disk is fixed at an inside of the housing and has at least one flow passage hole. The shaft is rotated about a central axis by the drive device. The rotor increases or decreases an opening degree of the at least one flow passage hole. The rotor includes: a drive disk that slides relative to the stationary disk; and a lever that is fixed to the drive disk and couples between the drive disk and the shaft. A first torsion spring is placed between the housing and the shaft and urges the shaft relative to the housing in a circumferential direction around the central axis, and a second torsion spring is placed between the shaft and the lever and urges the lever relative to the shaft in the circumferential direction.
