Abstract

The invention provides a vacuum control valve configured to control the vacuum pressure in the vacuum chamber. The vacuum control valve includes a control valve main body, an operation unit, a cylinder, a biasing unit, and a bellofram. The operation unit and the cylinder include a valve opening manipulation chamber and a shutoff load generation chamber. The shutoff load generation chamber is configured to have a common axial center line with the valve opening manipulation chamber and to generate a load applied to the operation unit in a direction for reducing the lift in accordance with a supply of the working fluid. And the shutoff load generation chamber may be formed in an interior of the rod.
