Second selector valve 61 is identical with first selector valve 60, therefore no longer it is specified.
Referring now to Fig. 6,, the operation according to valve assembly 10 of the present invention is described.For simplicity, hereinafter with conventional hydraulically operated fork positioner 80 and side shifter 82 operation of the present invention is described in conjunction with crane vehicle.Should partly describe, first hydraulic control unit is a fork positioner, and second hydraulic control unit will be a side shifter.Those of ordinary skill in the art will be understood that the present invention can utilize any two the hydraulic control unit work that need different pressures, and is not limited to fork positioner and side shifter, perhaps the hydraulic control unit used of crane vehicle.Described Effector can be used as any needed function, for example rotates, inclination, clamping or similar function.
Referring to Fig. 1, when lift truck operator wishes to start fork positioner along first direction, when fork was narrowed, these operator were along mobile (partial journey) controlling rod 28 of the non-whole process of direction.Loop 26 is partly started, so as with hydraulic fluid from hydraulic fluid tank 16 along jar supply pipelines 18, through part 22, offer the first hydraulic pressure supply pipeline 12 then.Start because loop 26 is parts, the flow velocity of the hydraulic fluid in the first hydraulic pressure supply pipeline 12 is lower, thereby has produced low pressure hereinafter described.Preferably, low pressure means that pressure is lower than 315PSI.
Referring now to Fig. 5 A,, hydraulic fluid enters first supplying mouth 32, and flows into first path 40.The pressure of fluid in first block channels 40 moves to a permission with two-way valve 56 and is realizing between first block channels 40 and the path of navigation 52 that fluid is communicated with, cuts off simultaneously the position of the connection between second block channels 42 and the path of navigation 52.The pressure of fluid in path of navigation 52 acts on the pressure surface 68 of each selector valve 60,61.Because pressure is lower than 315PSI, the valve body 66 of selector valve 60,61 is all no longer mobile.Correspondingly, selector valve 60 and 61 annular channels are aimed at first operator port 44 and the 3rd operator port 48 respectively.Accommodating fluid in first block channels 40 also the radial finger in the cylinder blanket 62 of first selector valve 60 to opening 65 enter annular space 69.Fluid flows out to the annular space 69 of opening 65 from first selector valve 60 through other radial finger, and enters first operator port 44.The inside O shape ring of O shape ring 70 and selector valve 60 avoids fluid to enter second operator port 46.
Referring to Fig. 6, the hydraulic fluid warp walks to fork positioner 80 with the pipeline 84 that first operator port 44 links to each other.Make fork when narrowing when this fork positioner is activated, hydraulic fluid also leaves fork positioner 80, and 86 enters the 3rd operator port 48 by the road.Fluid flows to second block channels 42 through second selector valve 61, but its mode is reverse with the similar of first selector valve 60.Fluid leaves valve assembly 10 at second supplying mouth 34 along second supply pipeline 14.
Referring now to Fig. 1,, fluid walks to loop 26 along the second hydraulic pressure supply pipeline 14, and is directed in jar return pipeline 20, thereby finishes once circulation.
If the manipulator wishes fork is relaxed, operator move the non-in opposite direction whole process of controlling rod 28 (partial journey), loop 26 is partly started, thereby part 24 is used, low-pressure fluid flow is directed to the second hydraulic pressure supply pipeline 14 from hydraulic fluid charging-tank 16.
Referring now to Fig. 5 B,, hydraulic fluid enters valve body 30 through second supplying mouth 34, enters second block channels 42 then.Two-way valve 56 moves along other direction, makes it become second block channels 42 and realizes being communicated with path of navigation 52.Because it is low-pressure fluid, selector valve 60 and 61 valve body 66 are not all removed from the position shown in Fig. 2 B.But, hydraulic fluid second selector valve 61 of flowing through, its mode is identical with first selector valve 60.Hydraulic fluid flows out the 3rd operator port 48, and flows into pipeline 86 and arrival fork positioner 80.This makes fork positioner work in opposite direction.
Enter valve assembly 10 from the hydraulic fluid of fork positioner 80 outflows and inflow pipeline 84 in first operator port 44.Returning fluid imports first path 40 by first selector valve 60, as mentioned above.Fluid flows out from first supplying mouth 32, and returns jar return pipeline 20 through first supply pipeline 12.Like this, to which side shifting controlling rod 28, will cause fork positioner 80 to move (that is, narrow or relax fork at interval) along corresponding that direction.
Referring to Fig. 1, if lift truck operator wishes to start side shifter along a direction, these operator are omnidistance mobile with controlling rod 28 along first direction.Loop 26 starts fully, and fluid is sent to first supply pipeline 12 from jar supply pipeline 18 through part 22.Startup fully to loop 26 causes high pressure occurring in first supply pipeline 12.Preferably, high pressure means that pressure is 315PSI or higher.
Referring to Fig. 5 C, hydraulic fluid along with describe fork positioner narrow function the time identical path enter first chamber 36.In addition, now for the fluid of high pressure enters path of navigation 52, and act on the surface 68 of each valve body 66 of selector valve 60 and 61.Because act on pressure on the pressure surface 68 of each valve body 66 greater than the resistance of spring 74 separately in path of navigation 52, valve body 66 extrusion springs 74 of each selector valve move.This moves to the position shown in Fig. 5 C and the 5D with valve body 66, makes flow through annular space 69 and enter second operator port 46 of fluid in the block channels 40 of winning thus.O shape ring 72 stops and is communicated with the fluid of first operator port 44.Correspondingly, hydraulic fluid flows to side shifter 82 along pipeline 88.Hydraulic fluid is along pipeline 90, return the 4th operator port 50 through selector valve 61 then.The fluid valve body 30 of flowing through flows out through second supplying mouth 34 then, and its mode is with above similar.Fluid is according to above narrowing the described same way as hydraulic return of function fluid tank for fork positioner.
If lift truck operator wishes to start in opposite direction side shifter, these operator with controlling rod 28 omnidistance moving, have adopted part 24 thus, thereby have started high-pressure flow as indicated above in opposite direction.Shown in Fig. 5 D, as above to fork positioner to relax function described, the flow through path of system of high pressure hydraulic fluid is reversed.The valve assembly operation is as indicated above.
Preferably, hydraulic control unit is realized required function in can be under working in different pressures.Herein, a pressure is called low pressure, and another pressure is called high pressure.Certainly, absolute value is variable in the scope of broad.But preferably, these two pressure differ about 50PSI.For example, in a crane vehicle, can utilize less than the pressure of 250PSI and successfully realize the fork location, can utilize simultaneously greater than the pressure of 325PSI and realize side shifting.Other pressure and other pressure difference also are feasible, and this depends on vehicle and controlled implementation condition.High pressure in the supply pipeline 12 and 14 is by controlling rod 28 is obtained along the position that required direction is advanced to standard-sized sheet fast.When controlling rod was moved, through the Peak Flow Rate appearance of control panel 11, and pressure was accumulated in supply pipeline 12 or 14 fast.If fork is loaded, can produce resistance to the mobile of fork location cylinder body.Therefore, pressure accumulates fast.When it took place, pressure was accumulated in the valve body 30 fast, and valve body 30 moves selector valve 60 and 61, and is as indicated above.Then, this has brought hydrodynamic pressure completely on the side shifting cylinder body, to realize required side shifting.If fork is not loaded, the initial tendency of fluid may be to flow to fork positioner so.But this will be minimal, because comprehensively fluid flows and will carry out through control panel 11, and hydrodynamic pressure accumulation very apace, to cause the motion of selector valve 60 and 61.
When needs are pitched the location, controlling rod on required direction only partial journey move (non-whole process).Obtainable initial fluid pressure is always lower at control panel 11 places, in any case and only occur restricted mobile.This restricted flowing with the form appearance of low pressure, the fluid that therefore arrives valve assembly 10 is under the low pressure.Because fork location occurs in fork when not being loaded, fork can utilize such low pressure to move.Like this, restricted fluid continues along with moving of fork to flow, and pressure is not accumulated in supply pipeline 12 or 14 or in the valve body 30.This means that then selector valve 60 and 61 rests in the initial position shown in 2A and 2B under spring 74 applied pressures, the fork location continues to carry out according to needed time along required direction.
Can provide orifice valve 35 to reduce any shock effect that may cause by the flip-flop of fluid flow direction.
Aforesaid the preferred embodiments of the present invention are configured to provide selectable and are moved by the two-way of hydraulic starting.But some hydraulic control unit may only need unidirectional moving.The return movement of hydraulic control unit can be originated by other, be provided such as spring or gravity.For such hydraulic control unit, second supplying mouth 34, second block channels, 42, the second selector valves 61, two-way valve 56, and third and fourth operator port 48 and 50 can be omitted.
The present invention can adopt other concrete form to realize, and can not depart from its marrow or key character.Therefore, presently disclosed embodiment is considered to schematic and nonrestrictive, scope of the present invention by accompanying Claim but not the specification of preamble limit, all changes that occur in the implication of claims and full scope of equivalents all are considered to be contained by it.
