DIAPHRAGM VALVE AND VALVE DISK
A diaphragm valve including a valve disk suspended by a diaphragm airtightly sealing a valve chamber, and is moved in conjunction with a stem so that an annular seal member is at a valve closing position at which the annular seal member abuts on a valve seat surface or at a valve opening position at which the annular seal member is apart from the valve seat surface. The valve disk includes: a seal retention member including a cylindrical portion and retaining the annular seal member at a position concentric with a retention portion; and an annular cushion member sandwiched between the seal retention member and the annular seal member and retained in an annular accommodation portion at a position concentric with the retention portion. The annular seal member is retained in the annular accommodation portion so that the annular seal member extends more radially outwardly than the annular cushion member.
1 . A diaphragm valve comprising a valve disk that is suspended by a diaphragm airtightly sealing a valve chamber, comprises a retention portion retaining an annular seal member in an annular accommodation portion, and is moved in conjunction with a stem so that the annular seal member is at a valve closing position at which the annular seal member abuts on a valve seat surface or at a valve opening position at which the annular seal member is apart from the valve seat surface, wherein
the valve disk comprises: a seal retention member comprising a cylindrical portion mating a cylindrical inner surface with an inner peripheral surface of the annular accommodation portion, and retaining the annular seal member at a position concentric with the retention portion; and an annular cushion member that is sandwiched between a surface, facing a bottom surface of the annular accommodation portion, of the seal retention member and the annular seal member, and the bottom surface, comprises an inner peripheral surface mated with an inner peripheral surface of the annular accommodation portion, and is retained in the annular accommodation portion at a position concentric with the retention portion, and
the annular seal member is retained in the annular accommodation portion in a state in which the annular seal member extends more radially outwardly than the annular cushion member, and a gap is formed between a surface of the annular seal member, facing the bottom surface of the annular accommodation portion, and the bottom surface.
2 . The diaphragm valve according to claim 1 , wherein the annular cushion member comprises a material of which a cushioning property is higher than that of the annular seal member.
3 . The diaphragm valve according to claim 1 , wherein
the seal retention member comprises a collar portion radially outwardly protruded in a collar shape on an end of the cylindrical portion, and
a stage-shaped abutment surface abutting in a stage shape on an outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion comprising the collar portion is formed on the annular seal member.
4 . The diaphragm valve according to claim 1 , wherein
a recess in which the annular cushion member is placed is formed on the annular seal member so that the surface, facing the bottom surface of the annular accommodation portion, of the annular seal member, is provided with a peripheral side slightly separated from an outer peripheral surface of the annular cushion member, and
the gap is formed between the bottom surface of the annular accommodation portion and a surface of the annular seal member that is more radially outwardly than the recess.
5 . The diaphragm valve according to according to claim 1 , wherein
the annular seal member comprises a polyimide resin, and
the annular cushion member comprises a perfluoroalkoxy alkane resin.
6 . A valve disk that is suspended by a diaphragm airtightly sealing a valve chamber, comprises a retention portion retaining an annular seal member in an annular accommodation portion, and is moved in conjunction with a stem so that the annular seal member is at a valve closing position at which the annular seal member abuts on a valve seat surface or at a valve opening position at which the annular seal member is apart from the valve seat surface, wherein
the valve disk comprises: a seal retention member comprising a cylindrical portion mating a cylindrical inner surface with an inner peripheral surface of the annular accommodation portion, and retaining the annular seal member at a position concentric with the retention portion; and an annular cushion member that is sandwiched between a surface, facing a bottom surface of the annular accommodation portion, of the seal retention member and the annular seal member, and the bottom surface, comprises an inner peripheral surface mated with an inner peripheral surface of the annular accommodation portion, and is retained in the annular accommodation portion at a position concentric with the retention portion.
