  • this invention relates to fluid control valves provided with positive and negative load compensation.
  • this invention relates to fluid control valves provided with a positive load compensator, throttling action of which limits maximum pressure supplied from the pump to the fluid actuator, to a certain predetermined level.
  • this invention relates to modulation of control pressure signals, transmitted from the actuators of the system to the valve compensating controls and to the load responsive control of the system pump, to limit the level of maximum load pressure in each of the actuators to a different preselected system level, while limiting the maximum system pressure, through the load responsive pump control, to the level, as dictated by any specific combination of loads being controlled at a time.

  • the check valve 71b is connected by passage 72 with positive load sensing ports 37 and 38.

  • Positive load sensing ports 37 and 38 are connected through passage 72, line 84 and a check valve 85 and a signal line 86 with the pump flow control 14.
  • Positive load sensing ports 37 and 38 are also connected through passage 72, line 84, a control module, generally designated as 78, check valve 71b and line 69 with control space 66.
  • the control module 78 is provided with a signal throttling variable orifice 79, the throttling action of which is controlled by the force developed on piston 80 by pressure developed in positive load sensing port 37 or 38 and conducted by line 77, against biasing force of spring 80a.
  • Control space 66 is connected through a leakage device 87 with the reservoir 15.
  • Leakage device 87 may be of a straight leakage orifice type, or may be a flow control device, passing a constant flow from control space 66 to the reservoir 15.
  • the leakage device 87 comprises a housing 88, provided with bore 89 guiding a spool 90, which defines spaces 91, 92 and 93.
  • the spool 90 is provided with throttling slots 94, leakage orifice 95 and is biased by a spring 96.
  • the chambers 23 and 24 are connected, for one way fluid flow, by check valves 97 and 98, to schematically shown system reservoir 15, which also might be a pressurized exhaust manifold of the entire control system, as shown in the drawing.
  • Line 84 is provided with fixed orifice 99 down stream of which is connected by line 100 with a pressure limiting module generally designated as 101.
  • the pressure limiting module 101 in the form of a signal pressure relief valve consists of a housing 102 provided with port 103, engaging poppet 104 biased by a spring 105. Internal space of the housing 102 is directly vented to the system reservoir 15.
  • the load pressure signals of flow control valves 13 and 13a are phased by check valves 106 and 107 to line 86 connected with pump flow control 14.
  • the pump flow control, generally designated as 14, is provided with an actuator 108, biased by spring 109, directly operates flow changing mechanism 110 of the pump 12. If the pump 12 is of a variable displacement type the flow changing mechanism 110 becomes a variable displacement changing mechanism, well known in the art.
  • the flow changing mechanism 10 becomes a bypass valve, well known in the art.
  • the actuator 108 is subjected to the control pressure in space 111, which is controlled by pilot valve spool 112.
  • the pilot valve spool 112 is provided with lands 113 and 114 defining spaces 115 and 116.
  • Space 115 communicates directly with the system reservoir 15.
  • Space 116 is directly connected through line 43 with the discharge pressure of the pump 12.
  • the land 114 projects directly into control space and is biased by spring 118.
  • Control space 117 is directly connected to the check valve logic system transmitting positive load pressure signal by line 86.
  • valve spool 18 The preferable sequencing of lands and slots of valve spool 18 is such, that when displaced in either direction from its neutral position, as shown, one of the chambers 23 or 24 is connected by timing slot 32 or 33 to the positive load sensing port 37 or 38, while the other load chamber is simultaneously connected by timing slot 31 or 34 with negative load sensing port 35 or 36, the load chamber 23 or 24 being isolated from the supply chamber 22 and outlet chambers 25 and 26. Further displacement of valve spool 18 from its neutral position connects load chamber 23 or 24 through metering slot 28 or 29 with the supply chamber 22, while simultaneously connecting the other load chamber through metering slot 27 or 30 with outlet chamber 25 or 26.
  • the pump flow control 14 in a well known manner, will regulate fluid flow, delivered from pump 12, to discharge line 43, to maintain the pressure in discharge line 43 higher, by a constant pressure differential, than the highest load pressure signal transmitted through the check valve system to signal line 86. Therefore, with the valve spool 18 of flow control valve 10, in its neutral position blocking positive load sensing ports 37 and 38, signal pressure input to pump flow control 14 from signal line 86 will be at minimum pressure level, corresponding with the minimum standby pressure of the pump 12.
  • pilot valve assembly 51 is shown in the drawing with the spool 54 in its equilibrium modulating position and with land 57 blocking the annular space 61.
  • pilot valve spring 68 With the control system at rest the pilot valve spring 68 will move the spool 54 all the way to the left, connecting annular space 60 with annular space 61 and therefore connecting control space 49 with system reservoir. Under those conditions the control spool 40 will be maintained by the control spring 48 in the position as shown.
  • the initial displacement of the valve spool 18 to the right will connect, in a manner as previously described, the load chamber 23, subje.cted to positive load pressure, with positive load sensing port 37, while also connecting the load chamber 24 with negative load sensing port 35.
  • the positive load pressure signal from positive load sensing port 37 will be transmitted through passage 72, line 84, check valve 85 and signal line 86 to the pump flow control 14 and, in a manner as previously described, will raise the discharge pressure of the pump 12 to a level, higher by a constant pressure differential, than the positive load pressure existing in the load chamber 23.
  • valve spool 18 Further displacement of the valve spool 18 to the right will create a metering orifice through metering slot 29, between the load chamber 23 and the supply chamber 22, while also creating through metering slot 27 a similar metering orifice between the load chamber 24 and the outlet chamber 25. Therefore, fluid flow from the supply chamber 22 to the load chamber 23 will take place at a constant pressure differential, automatically maintained by the pump flow control 14, with the control spool 40 remaining in the position as shown and with spool ' 54 in a position all the way to the left. Therefore the flow into the load chamber 23 will be proportional to the area of the metering orifice and therefore to the displacement of the valve spool 18 from its neutral position and independent of the magnitude of the load W.
  • the increasing pressure differential between the pressure in the supply chamber 22 and the pressure in the load chamber 23 will move the spool 54 from left to right, against the biasing force of the pilot valve spring 68, into a modulating position, as shown, increasing pressure in the control space 49, which will move the control spool 40 from right to left, into a position in which it will throttle fluid flow between the inlet chamber 44 and the supply chamber 22.
  • the spool 54 in its modulating position, will automatically throttle, by control spool 40, the fluid flow from the inlet chamber 44 to the supply chamber 22 to maintain the pressure differential between the supply chamber 22 and the load chamber 23, at a constant predetermined level, equivalent to preload in the pilot valve spring 68 and higher than the constant pressure differential of the pump flow control 14. Therefore, irrespective of the pump pressure level, the pilot valve assembly 51 will automatically control the throttling action of the control spool 40, to maintain a constant pressure differential between the supply chamber 22 and the load chamber 23, and across the metering orifice, created by displacement of the metering slot 29.
  • the leakage device 87 connects control space 66 with the system reservoir.
  • the leakage device 87 may take the form of a simple orifice, or may be of a compensated type, as shown in Fig. 1, permitting a constant flow, at a very low flow level, from control space 66. Such a leakage flow is necessary to permit the spool 54 to move from left to right. Such a movement will close the check valves 71b, 71 and 71a, the displaced fluid from control space 66 being passed by the leakage device 87.
  • the spool 90 of the leakage device 87 in a well known manner throttles, by throttling slots 94, the fluid flow from space 92 to space 93, to maintain space 93 at a constant pressure, equivalent to preload in the spring 96. Since space 93 is maintained at constant pressure and since space 91 is connected to system reservoir, there exists constant pressure differential across leakage orifice 95, corresponding to a constant flow from control space 66 and independent of the pressure level in control space 66.
  • variable throttling orifice 79 of the control module 78 During control of positive load this constant flow, passing through the leakage device 87, is supplied at positive load pressure from positive load sensing port 37 or 38, through variable throttling orifice 79 of the control module 78, to control space. 66. If the flow area of variable throttling orifice 79 is large, a minimum throttling pressure drop will occur across it and the pressure in control space 66 will approximately equal the positive load pressure. Then, in a manner as explained above, the pilot valve assembly 51 will control the throttling action of the control spool 40, to maintain a constant pressure differential between pressure in the supply chamber 22 and pressure in load chamber 23 or 24, as dictated by the preload of the pilot valve spring 68, irrespective of the magnitude of the discharge pressure of the pump 12. An increase in pressure drop across signal throttling variable orifice 79 will proportionally
  • OMPI lower the pressure in control space 66, in turn proportionally lowering the pressure in the supply chamber 22 and therefore also decreasing the pressure differential between the pressure in the supply chamber 22 and pressure in the load chamber 23 or 24.
  • any increase in the pressure differential across signal throttling variable orifice 79 will automatically result in a proportional decrease in the pressure level in the supply chamber 22.
  • the pressure level in the supply chamber 22 can be controlled.
  • the increased pressure differential, across variable orifice 79, will proportionally lower the pressure in the supply chamber 22, lowering the load pressure in the load chamber 23.
  • the maximum pressure in the supply chamber 22 and therefore the maximum pressure in the load chamber 23 or 24 can be limited to any specific preselected level, in turn establishing the maximum
  • OMPI pressure to which the fluid motor 11 can be subjected.
  • This control of maximum pressure, to which the fluid motor 11 can be subjected, in a manner as previously described, is obtained through the throttling action of the control spool 40, which in turn is controlled, in response to the control signal generated by the pilot valve assembly 51. Therefore in a fluid power system employing a plurality of load responsive control valves, the maximum load pressure generated in the fluid motor 11, can be limited to any preselectable maximum value to match the structural integrity of each fluid motor of the system, while working through the existing positive load throttling controls. As previously described the flow through the leakage device 87 is very small. Therefore, throttling of this flow, by the control module 78, takes place at a very .
  • control of the pressure in the supply chamber 24 the pressure differential between the supply chamber 22 and the load chamber 23 or 24 can be positive or negative. In the. zone of the negative pressure differential the flow between the supply chamber and the load chambers would reverse. Such flow reversal is automatically prevented by the control spool 40 moving to the left and isolating the inlet chamber 44, connected to the pump 12, from the supply chamber 22. This action of the control spool 40 could be compared to the action of a load check valve, well known in the art, and usually located between the load chambers and the supply chamber.
  • the control of negative load is accomplished through the throttling action of negative load throttling slot 39 or 39a of the control spool 40, the position of which is controlled in response to control signal, generated by the pilot valve assembly 51.
  • the pilot spool 54 on one end is subjected to the biasing force of control spring 68 and the pressure in the outlet chamber 25 or 26, while on the other end it is subjected, through the free floating piston 55, to the negative load pressure in negative load sensing port 35 or 36.
  • the control will automatically maintain a constant pressure differential between the load chamber 23 or 24 and the outlet chamber 25 or 26.
  • the pressure limiting module 101 is phased into the control circuit and connected down stream of fixed orifice 99 in line 84 and upstream of check valve 85.
  • the control action of the pressure limiting module 101 is as follows. Once the load pressure in line 84 will reach the level, equivalent to the pressure setting of the pressure limiting module 101, the poppet 104 will move against the biasing force of the spring 105 inducing additional flow through the fixed orifice 99 and therefore increasing the pressure drop through the fixed orifice 99. In this way the pressure limiting module 101 will maintain a constant pressure upstream of the check valve 85 as dictated by the preload in the spring 105.
  • the pressure limiting module 101 is phased into the control circuit in such a way, that it will limit, in cooperation with the fixed orifice 99, the load pressure signal transmitted through the check valve 85 and line 86 to the load responsive control 14 of the pump 12, to any preselected maximum level. Therefore, not only the pressure developed in the actuator 11 can be limited to any desired maximum level, by the throttling action of the control spool 40, but the signal transmitted to the pump control, can also be limited to the same or other
  • OMPI level Assume that the pressure limiting module 101 is set for a certain selected low pressure level. Then the pressure limiting module 101 will not only limit the maximum pressure developed in fluid motor 11 to this level, but it will also limit the pump discharge pressure, which will be higher, by a constant pressure differential, than the pressure setting of the pressure limiting module 101. Assume that each load responsive valve of the system is provided with a pressure limiting module 101 and control module 78, that each module is set at a different pressure level and that each module not only limits the maximum pressure developed in the respective fluid motor, but also limits, to the same or other level, the pressure signal transmitted through the check valve logic system to the load responsive pump control 14.
  • the maximum discharge pressure of the pump will be limited to the maximum controlled pressure level of any of the loads being simultaneously controlled, resulting in greatly increased system efficiency and longer life of the system pump.
  • This action of the pressure limiting modules 101 is superimposed upon the action of the control modules 78, which can superimpose their control action upon the control action, resulting from the change in position of the valve spool 18, thus providing a unique dual control input while also limiting maximum pressures developed in the fluid motors of the system and limiting the maximum pressure signals transmitted to the load responsive pump control.
  • the pressure limiting module 101 is shown in the form of a relief valve, well known in the art. Such a pressure limiting module must act in combination with fixed orifice 99 and limits the maximum pressure, upstream of the check valve 85, by bypassing some of the flow from the positive load sensing port 37 or 38
  • the pressure limiting module 101 can be substituted by the control module 78 and control the signal pressure, transmitted to the flow changing pump control 14 by throttling, as long as the pump flow control 14 is provided with the leakage device 87, cross-connecting control space 117, or line 86 with system reservoir. Then the control module 78, by throttling of the load pressure signal and by controlling much lower flows through lines 84 and 86, will limit the maximum load pressure signal transmitted to the pump flow control 14, providing a much faster responding and more precise control than the pressure limiting module 101.
