Valve having first and second fluid ports
View Patent ↗A device in a valve ( 1 ) includes a valve housing ( 2 ) with at least a first ( 3 ) and a second ( 4 ) fluid port. A closure element ( 5 ) including a sealing portion ( 15 ) and diaphragm ( 30 ) is arranged in the valve housing ( 2 ). The sealing portion ( 15 ) is movable between an open position and a closed position. The closure element ( 5 ) and valve housing ( 2 ) form a flow passage ( 11 ) which communicates with the fluid ports when the sealing portion ( 15 ) leaves the closed position. A second sealing portion ( 14 ) is arranged in contact with a support portion ( 25 ) of the valve housing ( 2 ). An abutment element ( 16 ) is arranged in contact with the second sealing portion ( 14 ). The abutment element ( 16 ) transmits a force via the second sealing portion ( 14 ) toward the support portion ( 25 ) to provide a seal. The force is at least partly exerted by a spring element.
1. A device in a valve comprising:
a valve housing with at least a first and a second fluid port;
a closure element being arranged in the valve housing, the closure element having a sealing portion and comprising a diaphragm, the sealing portion being movable along an axis of the closure element by means of said diaphragm between an open position and a closed position of at least one of the fluid ports of the valve housing, the closure element together with the valve housing forming a flow passage in the valve housing which communicates with said fluid ports when the sealing portion leaves said closed position, a second sealing portion of the closure element adapted to come in contact with a support portion of the valve housing; and
an abutment means being arranged in contact along a periphery of said second sealing portion in such manner that said second sealing portion is arranged between the support portion and the abutment means, the abutment means being arranged to transmit a force via said second sealing portion towards the support portion to provide a seal, and wherein said abutment means comprises a spring means,
wherein the sealing portion of the closure element is operably connected to an actuator, the device further having a coupling device which has a locking means adapted to be connected to the valve housing, and an actuating device adapted to be connected to the coupling device to operate the actuator,
wherein the abutment means is adjustably arranged in the coupling device by means of a thread bushing, and
wherein the thread bushing is externally threaded and connected to a recess in the coupling device.
