Detailed Description
Referring to fig. 1, a pressure control valve according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a valve body 1 having an oil inlet 10 and an oil return port 11 formed thereon, wherein an oil pressure P of the oil inlet 10 1 The oil pressure P of the oil return port 11 is the operating pressure of the pressure control valve 2 Is the return oil pressure. The inner cavity of the valve body 1 is slidably provided with a valve core 2, and the valve core 2 can separate or communicate the oil inlet 10 and the oil return port 11. The valve housing 3 is connected to one end of the valve body 1, which is disposed away from the oil inlet 10, and one end of the valve housing 3 is sealingly connected to the valve body 1, while the other end is sealed by other sealing means, so as to form a spring chamber 30 inside the valve housing 3. The pressure control valve further comprises a pressure regulating assembly 4 comprising a spring seat 40 slidably arranged inside the valve housing 3, and a pressure regulating spring 41 sleeved on the spring seat 40, wherein: one end of the spring seat 40 directly or indirectly abuts against the valve spool 2, the other end extends out of the spring chamber 30 from the end of the valve housing 3 remote from the valve spool 2, and the one end of the spring seat 40 is directly or indirectly exposed to air so that the pressure received on the one end face of the spring seat 40 is atmospheric pressure. The pressure regulating spring 41 presses the spring seat 40 in a compressed state, and the elastic pressing force of the pressure regulating assembly 4 on the valve core 2 can be regulated by regulating the compression amount of the pressure regulating spring 41, so that one end of the valve core 2 is subjected to the oil pressure P of the oil inlet 10 1 The other end is pressed by the elastic pressing force, and P is the balance of the two 1 The value is the working pressure of the pressure control valve.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the valve element 2 has a first oil passage 20 formed therein, and in one embodimentIn this way, the first oil passage 20 includes a lateral section 200 parallel to the axial direction of the oil return port 11, and a longitudinal section 201 extending in the sliding direction of the spool 2 and communicating with the lateral section 200; the spring seat 40 has formed thereon a second oil passage 402 that includes a first bore 4020 disposed coaxially with the longitudinal section 201 and a second bore 4021 that communicates the first bore 4020 to the spring chamber 30. The first oil passage 20 communicates with the oil return port 11, and the second oil passage 402 communicates the first oil passage 20 with the spring chamber 30, so that the oil pressure in the spring chamber 30 is also the oil pressure of the oil return port 11, i.e., P 2 . It should be understood that the first oil passage 20 and the second oil passage 402 in the above description may be provided in other forms, and the two oil passages are not limited to the communication of the spring chamber 30 to the oil return port 11 in the interior of the valve spool 2 and the spring seat 40, and may also be provided in other forms of external oil passages to communicate the spring chamber 30 to the oil return port 11.
The spring seat 40 includes a seat body 400 for pressing the valve core 2 and a rod body 401 disposed on the seat body 400, which may be integrally formed or separately formed and then assembled. Wherein: the rod body 401 extends in the direction of movement of the valve spool 2 and protrudes out of the spring chamber 30 at the end of the valve sleeve 3 remote from the valve spool 2. At least a portion of the aforementioned second oil passage 402 is formed in the rod body 401.
Referring to the structure shown in fig. 2, the cross-sectional area of the rod 401 is A3, and the stress condition of the spool 2 is analyzed as follows:
oil pressure P of oil inlet 10 1 The forces acting on the spool 22 are: f (F) 1 =P 1 ×A 1 ;
Oil pressure P of oil return port 11 2 The forces acting on the spool 22 are: f (F) 2 =P 2 ×A 2 ;
Oil pressure P in spring chamber 30 2 And the force of the pressure regulating spring 41 acting on the valve spool 2 is:
F 3 =P 2 ×(A 1 +A 2 -A 3 )+F spring ;
F 1 And F 2 To push the valve core 2 toward the spring seat 40, F 3 In order to push the valve core 2 towards the oil inlet 10, the force balance formula of the valve core 2 is adoptedF 1 +F 2 =F 3 It can be deduced that: p (P) 1 ×A 1 =P 2 ×(A 1 -A 3 )+F Spring . It can be seen that at A 3 When the pressure is not zero, the rod body 401 penetrates the spring cavity 30 and extends out of the spring cavity 30, so that the back pressure P can be reduced to a certain extent 2 Oil pressure P for oil inlet 10 1 Is a function of (a) and (b). In particular, when A 3 And A is a 1 When equal, the formula is equal to P 2 The associated forces are removed, at this time the oil pressure P of the oil inlet 10 1 Elastic pressing force F acting on spring seat 40 only by pressure regulating spring 41 Spring And is not affected by the back pressure in the spring chamber 30.
When the spring seat 40 directly abuts against the valve core 2 in the manner shown in fig. 1 and 2, a conical hole 4000 is formed on one side surface of the seat body 400 facing the valve core 2, and a part of the end of the valve core 2 extending into the conical hole 4000 is spherical and tangent to the spherical surface of the inner surface of the conical hole 4000, so that a small amount of coiling can be generated between the valve core 2 and the spring seat 40, and shaking and squeal of the valve core 2 caused by unstable oil flow are reduced. The conical surface 21 is arranged at one end of the valve core 2, which is abutted against the oil inlet 10 of the valve body 1, and the oil inlet 10 is sealed through the contact between the conical surface 21 and the oil inlet 10, and the K-shaped seal formed between the valve core 2 and the oil inlet 10 can reduce or even eliminate the leakage of the pressure regulating valve.

The sliding seal plug 5 is located entirely within the spring chamber 30, and a first seal 6 is provided between the sliding seal plug 5 and the rod body 401 to seal both, and a second seal 60 is provided between the sliding seal plug 5 and the inner peripheral wall of the spring chamber 30 to seal both, so that the sliding seal plug 5 is formed as a "cap" of the spring chamber 30, and the sealing of the side wall and the bottom wall of the spring chamber 30 is achieved by the screw-on sealing of the first valve sleeve 31 and the second valve sleeve 32 and the screw-on sealing of the first valve sleeve 31 and the valve body 1, respectively.
It will be appreciated that the sliding closure 5 is not the only way to seal the spring cavity 30 and that the sliding closure 5 may be eliminated when a reliable sliding seal is formed between the stem 401 and the protruding bore 320. Further, a gasket 9 is further disposed in the spring cavity 30, one side surface of the gasket 9 abuts against the sliding sealing plug 5, and the upper end of the pressure regulating spring 41 abuts against the other side surface of the gasket 9, so that the pressure regulating spring 41 is kept in a compressed state or is further compressed.
