US Patent 11371416 Control valve

A control valve includes: a port, which is shaped in a tubular form; a valve element; and a metal seal, which contacts the valve element. A gap is formed between a tubular portion of the metal seal and the port in a perpendicular direction that is perpendicular to an axial direction of a flow passage of the port. Thereby, when the valve element is displaced in the perpendicular direction, the valve element urges the metal seal to displace the metal seal in the perpendicular direction in the state where the metal seal contacts the valve element.
