Abstract

A pressure control device includes a body having a groove-shaped flow path including a groove part and a widened part; a filter unit having a frame body including a through hole part that penetrates in a direction orthogonal to a central axis, a filter member in a planar plate shape disposed on one end side in a direction of an axis of the groove-shaped flow path with respect to the through hole part, and a seal member in a ring shape disposed along an outer-side circumferential edge part of the frame body when viewed from the through hole part; and a plate-shaped member being attached to the body to cover the groove-shaped flow path in a state where the filter unit is accommodated in the widened part. The frame body has a regulating part which regulates a disposition direction of the filter member with respect to the groove part.

Claims (47)

1. A pressure control device comprising:

an oil passage body that includes therein an oil passage through which oil flows;

a spool valve that is attached to the oil passage body;

a body that is at least one of a lower body and an upper body that constructs the oil passage body, and the body comprises a groove-shaped flow path, and the groove-shaped flow path comprising:

a groove part; and

a widened part, connected to the groove part and having a width larger than a width of the groove part;

a filter unit which captures foreign matters mixed in a fluid which passes through the groove-shaped flow path, wherein the filter unit comprises:

a frame body, comprising a through hole part which penetrates in a direction orthogonal to a central axis of the frame body;

a filter member being in a planar plate shape, disposed on one end side in a direction of an axis of the groove-shaped flow path with respect to the through hole part; and

a seal member in a ring shape, disposed along an outer-side circumferential edge part of the frame body when viewed from the through hole part,

wherein the filter unit is accommodated in the widened part so that a direction of the central axis of the frame body is along a depth direction of the widened part; and

a plate-shaped member which is attached to the body to cover the groove-shaped flow path in a state where the filter unit is accommodated in the widened part,

wherein the frame body comprises a regulating part which regulates a disposition direction of the filter member with respect to the groove part.

2. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the frame body comprises a fixing part, and

the fixing part is disposed along the outer-side circumferential edge part when viewed from the through hole part and which fixes the seal member.

3. The pressure control device according to claim 2 , wherein

the frame body is in a columnar shape along the direction of the central axis, and the frame body comprises:

a first part whose outer side shape in a cross section along a central axis of the through hole part and viewed from the central axis is a first shape;

a second part whose outer side shape in a cross section along the central axis of the through hole part and viewed from the central axis is a second shape smaller than the first shape; and

a step part which is located at a boundary part between the first part and the second part and which functions as the fixing part.

4. The pressure control device according to claim 3 , wherein

the frame body is disposed so that the first part is located on a downstream side of the groove-shaped flow path and the second part is located on an upstream side of the groove-shaped flow path.

5. The pressure control device according to claim 3 , wherein

when viewed from the central axis of the frame body, a contour shape of the first part is an arc shape, and a contour shape of the second part is a quadrangular shape.

6. The pressure control device according to claim 5 , wherein

the filter member is disposed on the first part of the frame body, and

the filter member in the planar plate shape is curved in an arc shape along the arc-shaped contour shape of the first part of the frame body in the same manner.

7. The pressure control device according to claim 3 , wherein

the regulating part is provided on the second part.

8. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the regulating part comprises a protruding part, and

the protruding part protrudes from the widened part toward the groove part.

9. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the seal member is made of an elastic material.

10. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the frame body comprises a storage part,

the storage part is provided on a bottom part side of the groove-shaped flow path, and

the storage part stores the foreign matters that have been captured.

11. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the frame body and the filter member are an insert-molded product.

12. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the widened part comprises a receiving part,

the receiving part is provided to have a depth larger than a depth of the groove part, and

a part of the filter unit enters the receiving part.

13. The pressure control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the frame body is in a columnar shape along the direction of the central axis.
