Abstract

In order to provide a fluid resistance device that is easily manufactured, compact, accurate, and uniform in performance, the fluid resistance device comprises two members that have facing surfaces that face each other and a downstream end of the upstream side flow channel and an upstream end of the downstream side flow channel open at positions displaced from each other on the facing surfaces, and a ring body that is arranged to surround the downstream end opening and the upstream end opening and that forms the fluid resistance channel between the downstream end opening and the upstream end opening by being sandwiched by the facing surfaces, and is so configured that the ring body is made of a material harder than that of each member, and the ring body breaks into the facing surfaces by fastening two members so as to make the facing surfaces approach each other.

Claims (18)

1. A fluid resistance device where an upstream side flow channel, a downstream side flow channel and a fluid resistance channel that connects these flow channels are formed, comprising

two members that have facing surfaces that face each other and a downstream end of the upstream side flow channel and an upstream end of the downstream side flow channel open respectively at a downstream end opening and an upstream end opening at positions displaced from each other on the facing surfaces, and

a ring body that is arranged to surround the downstream end opening and the upstream end opening and that forms the fluid resistance channel between the downstream end opening and the upstream end opening by being sandwiched by the facing surfaces, wherein

the ring body is made of a material harder than that of each member, the ring body comprises a center member and a first projecting part that projects from a part of a surface facing one of the facing surfaces on the center member, and the first projecting part is so configured to break into the facing surfaces by fastening the two members so as to make the facing surfaces approach each other.

2. The fluid resistance device described in claim 1 , wherein

both the downstream end opening and the upstream end opening are formed on the facing surface of one of the members.

3. The fluid resistance device described in claim 1 , wherein

between the downstream end opening and the upstream end opening, a parallel elongating part is formed wherein inside edge parts of the ring body that face each other elongate in parallel with keeping an equal distance, and the fluid resistance channel whose length is longer than a transverse cross-sectional area is formed on the parallel elongating part.

4. The fluid resistance device described in claim 1 , wherein

the ring body further comprises a second projecting part that projects from a part of a surface facing the other facing surface on the center member.

5. The fluid resistance device described in claim 4 , wherein

the first projecting part projects from an inner end part of the center member and the second projecting part projects from an outer end part of the center member.

6. The fluid resistance device described in claim 4 , wherein

the first projecting part projects from a center part of the center member and a pair of the second projecting parts project from an inner end part and an outer end part of the center member respectively.

7. A fluid resistance device where an upstream side flow channel, a downstream side flow channel and a fluid resistance channel that connects these flow channels are formed, comprising

two members that have facing surfaces that face each other and a downstream end of the upstream side flow channel and an upstream end of the downstream side flow channel respectively open at a downstream end opening and an upstream end opening at positions displaced from each other on the facing surfaces, and

a ring body that is arranged to surround the downstream end opening and the upstream end opening and that forms the fluid resistance channel between the downstream end opening and the upstream end opening by being sandwiched by the facing surfaces, wherein

each member is made of a material harder than that of the ring body, and a ring-shaped projection is formed for each of the facing surfaces and each projection is so configured to break into a front surface and a back surface of the ring body by fastening two members so as to make the facing surfaces approach each other.
