Claims
- 1. An ABS actuator comprising:
a housing; a backpressure chamber provided in the housing; a drain port conduit extending from the backpressure chamber toward outside substantially straight and perpendicularly to ground for making the backpressure chamber communicate with the outside; and a water invasion restriction member fixed to the housing at an axial end of the drain port conduit on a side of the ground, the water invasion restriction member having a hole whose one end communicates with the drain port conduit and whose the other end is opened to the outside only perpendicularly to the ground, wherein a diameter of the hole of the water invasion restriction member is smaller than an inner diameter of the drain port conduit.
- 2. An ABS actuator according to claim 1, wherein the drain port conduit comprises a small diameter portion located on a side of the backpressure chamber and a large diameter portion located on a side of the ground, an inner diameter of the large diameter portion being larger than that of the small diameter portion and, further, the water invasion restriction member being arranged at an axial end of the large diameter portion on a side of the ground.
- 3. An ABS actuator according to claim 2, wherein the water invasion restriction member is a ring plate whose inner hole diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the small diameter portion.
- 4. An ABS actuator according to claim 3, wherein the ring plate is press fitted to an inner wall of the large diameter portion.
- 5. An ABS actuator according to claim 3, wherein the drain port conduit further comprises a step portion which is located at an axial end of the large diameter portion on a side of the ground and whose inner diameter is larger than that of the large diameter portion, the ring plate is fixed to the step portion by staking a part of circumferential periphery of the step portion around the ring plate.
- 6. An ABS actuator according to claim 2, wherein a space volume of the large diameter portion is more than 200 mm3.
- 7. An ABS actuator according to claim 2, wherein a space volume of the large diameter portion is more than 800 mm3.
- 8. An ABS actuator according to claim 2, wherein the drain port conduit further comprises a step portion which is located at an axial end of the large diameter portion on a side of the ground and whose inner diameter is larger than that of the large diameter portion and, further, wherein the water invasion restriction member is a plurality of balls accommodated in the step portion and contacted with one another in a polygonal shape, whereby gaps among the balls constitute the hole of the water invasion restriction member.
- 9. An ABS actuator according to claim 8, wherein the balls are press fitted to an inner sidewall of the step portion.
