A valve device has integrally assembled thereto a valve side housing 2 having a valve seat 1 , a motor side housing 4 provided with a motor 3 , and a feeder-side housing 5 having a feeder unit, wherein a valve stem 8 provided with a valve 7 for abutting against the valve seat 1 is extended to the interior of the feeder-side housing, a rotation stopper 9 of the valve stem 8 is provided at a predetermined position of the valve stem on its way to the feeder-side housing, a screw section 11 is provided around the portion of the valve stem passing through the center hole 35 a of the rotor 35 of the motor 3 , the screw section being in mesh with a thread section 10 formed around the surface of the center hole thereof, and a valve position detecting sensor is provided within the feeder-side housing 5.
1. A valve device integrally assembling a valve side housing having a valve seat, a motor side housing provided with a motor, and a feeder-side housing, further comprising:
a valve stem provided with a valve for abutting against the valve seat, and extending through a center hole of a rotor of the motor provided in the motor side housing to an interior of the feeder-side housing;
a rotation stopper having an outer peripheral section and an inner peripheral section through which the valve stem passed on its way to the feeder-side housing; and
a screw section provided around a portion of the valve stem passing through the center hole of the rotor of the motor to be in mesh with a thread section formed around the surface of the center hole thereof, wherein
the inner peripheral section of the rotation stopper includes protrusions provided in an axial direction at substantially equally spaced intervals and the outer peripheral section of the rotation stopper includes a boss fixed between the valve side housing and the motor side housing, and
the rotor of the motor includes a metallic pipe inserted and fixed therein with a portion of the metallic pipe to be protruded therefrom, the protruded portion thereof being fixed in a bearing and the bearing being secured in the motor side housing by insertion of a resin.
2. The valve device according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusions of the inner peripheral portion of the rotation stopper engage grooves provided around a peripheral surface of a portion of the valve stem, and the boss of the outer peripheral section of the rotation stopper includes one or more notches engaging convexities of the motor side housing.
