Definitions

  • VALVES ABSTRACT A hydraulic control valve wherein pressure fluid which leaks along the exterior of the movable valve element 137/625.69 from a high pressure inlet zone is intercepted before it reaches Fl6lk 11/07 any service passage of the valve and conducted along a path externally of the valve element to a low pressure return passage in the valve body.
  • This invention relates to hydraulic control and has more particular reference to control valves of the closed center, hold-in-neutral type.
  • valve element of a hold-in-neutral control valve prevents operation of a fluid motor governed thereby in the neutral position of the valve element in its chamber, at which it blocks flow of pressure fluid to and from the motor. Because there is no provision for pump output fluid entering the inlet chamber of a closed center control valve such as herein concerned to be returned to a reservoir through an open center passage in the valve body, fluid in the inlet chamber of the valve remains at high pressure all during the time the pump is in operation and the valve element is in neutral. Thus pressure ,fluid at high pressure is immediately available for operation of the motor upon shifting of the valve element to one of its operating positions.
  • H6. 1 is a sectional view of a closed center control valve embodying this invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a closed center control valve similar to that seen in H6. 1, but illustrating a modified embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a closed center hydraulic control valve having a body 5 with a bore 6 therein defining a valve chamber.
  • An elongated valve element or spool 7 is closely fitted in the bore for lengthwise sliding movement therein between a neutral or hold position shown, and a pair of operating positions at opposite sides of its neutral position.
  • control valve chosen for illustration is intended to govern the operation of a double acting cylinder or other reversible fluid motor (not seen), although it will be appreciated that this invention is equally as well applicable to control valves for single acting service.
  • the body of the valve is provided with a pair of upwardly opening service passages 8 and 9 which are connectable with the opposite ends of the cylinder, and which communicate with the valve chamber or bore 6 at zones that are spaced apart a substantial distance along its axis.
  • These passages are selectively communicable with a pressure fluid source, such as a pump 10, by means of the valve spool 7, in one or the other of its operating positions.
  • the output of the pump is fed into an inlet chamber in the body of the valve, here shown by way of example as comprised of twin branches 11 and 12 which open to the bore 6 at locations spaced apart axially thereof from one another and intermediate the zones at which the service passages communicate with the bore.
  • the valve spool 7 is adapted to communicate the service passage 8 with the right-hand inlet branch 12 when the valve spool is shifted to its operating position to the right of neutral, and to communicate service passage 9 with the left-hand inlet branch 11 when the spool is shifted to its operating position to the left of neutral. In each of these operating positions, the spool is adapted to communicate the service passage not connected with the inlet chamber with an exhaust or return passage 13.
  • the valve spool 7 has five circumferential grooves therein, at axially spaced apart locations, and which, reading from left to right, are numbered l4, 15, 16, 17 and 18. In the neutral position of the spool shown, its groove 14 is in register with the junction between the bore and service passage 8, while its groove 17 is in register with the junction between the bore and service passage 9. The grooves 14 and 17 provide for communicating the service passages 8 and 9 with either the inlet chamber or the return passage 13, depending upon the direction the valve spool is shifted out of its neutral position.
  • the valve body is provided with a number of other passages through portions of which pressure fluid can flow to and from the service passages in the different operating positions of the valve spool.
  • these include the exhaust passage 13 mentioned previously, which can be considered as a low pressure bridge of U-shaped configuration, having a bight portion 20 that extends lengthwise of the bore 6 a distance therebelow, and substantially parallel opposite legs which define exhaust branches 21 and 22 that extend upwardly from the opposite ends of the bight portion and intersect the bore 6 at zones spaced outwardly along the bore from its zones of communication with the service passages 8 and 9, respectively, so as to receive return fluid from said service passages through the grooves 14 and 17 in the spool.
  • a bridge passage 24 to supply high pressure fluid to the service passages is also formed in the body.
  • the high pressure supply bridge is of inverted U-shaped providing a bight portion 25 which extends lengthwise of the bore 6, a distance thereabove, and opposite legs 26 and 27 which extend downwardly from the ends of the bight portion to the bore 6 at locations intermediate the service passages 8 and 9.
  • the leg 26 is adjacent to passage 6 and provides for supplying pressure fluid thereto through spool groove 14; while the leg 27 is adjacent to passage 9 to provide for supply of pressure fluid thereto through spool groove 17.
  • the two branches 11 and 12 of the inlet chamber open to the bore 6 at zones between those at which the high pressure bridge legs 26 and 27 communicate with the bore.
  • a short feeder passage 30 extends upwardly from the bore toward the bight portion 25 of the high pressure bridge 24.
  • This feeder passage is communicated with the high pressure bridge through a check valve 31 in a passageway 32 that joins the feeder passage 30 with the left-hand leg 26 of the bridge.
  • the check valve 31 is a so-called load holding check valve which is arranged to open only at times when pressure of fluid in feeder passage 30 exceeds the pressure of fluid in the high pressure bridge 24.
  • the feeder passage 30 opens to the bore 6 at a zone which is in register with the groove 16 in the valve spool when the spool is in its neutral position.
  • Feeder passage 1%) is communicated with the inlet branch 12 when the valve spool is shifted to its operating position to the right of neutral so that pump fluid can then flow to service passage 8 via the left-hand leg of the bridge 24.
  • passage 30 cooperates with bridge 24 to supply service passage 9 from inlet branch 11 when the valve spool is shifted to its operating position to the left of neutral.
  • outlet passage 35 in the neutral position of the valve spool.
  • the outlet passage 35 is here shown as located substantially centrally of the valve body, between the bore 6 and the bight position 20 of the low pressure bridge 13, and it is at all times communicated with the latter through a short connecting passageway 35'.
  • any high pressure fluid that leaks along the wall of the bore 6 from the inlet branch 11 in a direction toward the service passage 8 in the neutral position of the valve spool will be intercepted at the junction between the bore and the inner end of a venting passage 40 which has its outer end in communication with the outlet passage 35.
  • the inner end of the passage 40 opens to the bore 6 at a location between itsjunctions with the inlet branch 11 and the left-hand leg 26 of the high pressure bridge passage 24, and so as to be in register with the groove 15 in the valve spool in the neutral position of the latter.
  • the high pressure bridge is employed to conduct to the venting passage 40 any fluid that leaks out of the inlet branches 11 and/or 12 into the feeder passage 30.
  • High pressure leakage fluid in feeder passage 30 will be able to flow through passageway 32 and check valve 31 therein to the left-hand leg 26 of the high-pressure bridge, and from there across the spool groove 15 to the outlet passage 35 via passage 40.
  • the high-pressure bridge through which pressure fluid must flow to reach the service passages in the working positions of the valve spool, is vented in the neutral position of the spool. It thus constitutes a low pressure bridge in the neutral position of the valve spool, and it only becomes a high pressure bridge when the valve spool is moved to one or the other of its operating positions. At those times the bridge 24 is cut off from the venting passage 40 either by the spool land 36 or by the land 42 thereon defined by spool grooves 14 and 15.
  • valve spool 7 An important feature of this invention resides in the fact that the groove 18 in the valve spool 7 enables the spool to be placed in a float position when it is shifted to the left far enough to communicate the service passages 8 and 9 with one another through the low pressure bridge branches 21 and 22.
  • the closed center control valve illustrated in FIG. 2 has several features in common with that described above.
  • lt has a bore 6 with a valve spool 70 therein, but the spool has five annular grooves which, reading from left to right, are numbered 45, 46, 47, 48 and 49. These grooves define lands 50 and 51 at opposite sides of groove 45; lands 52 and 53 at opposite sides of groove 47; and lands 54 and 55 at opposite sides of groove 49.
  • the valve has an inlet chamber with but a single feeder branch 56 that opens to the bore 6 in register with the spool groove 47 in the neutral position of the spool shown, midway between the legs 26 and 27 of the high pressure bridge 24.
  • the spool lands 52 and 53 block flow of fluid into the bore 6 from the legs 26 and 27 of the high pressure bridge; while the lands 51 and 54 extend across the junctions of the service passages 8 and 9 with the bore to prevent flow of fluid therethrough to and from the service passages.
  • its body is provided with a pair of small U-shaped cores, 76 and 77, associated with the service passages 8 and 9, respectively.
  • the bight portion of the core 76 extends lengthwise of the bore 6, beneath the zone at which the service passage 8 joins with the bore but above the bight portion of the return passage 13.
  • the opposite legs 78 and 79 of core 76 extend upwardly from its bight to intersect the bore 6 at opposite sides of the service passage 8.
  • the left-hand leg is positioned to be intennediate the service passage 8 and the adjacent exhaust branch 21, in register with spool groove 45', while the right-hand leg 79 is positioned to be intermediate the service passage 8 and the adjacent leg 26 of the high-pressure bridge 24, in register with spool groove 46.
  • the U-shaped core 77 has opposite legs 80 and 81 which intersect bore 6 and lie at opposite sides of service passage 9, with the leg 80 intermediate said service passage and the adjacent leg 27 of the high pressure bridge, in register with spool groove 80; while the leg 81 is intermediate service passage 9 and the adjacent leg 22 of the low pressure bridge, in register with spool groove 49.
  • the bight of the core 77 joins the lower ends its legs 80 and 81, below the bore 6 but above the bight of the low-pressure bridge 13.
  • the inlet branch 56 is communicated through a passageway 82 and a load holding check valve 83 with the bight of the high-pressure bridge 24.
  • valve spool 70 is shiftable out of its neutral position shown at each of a pair of operating positions at opposite sides of neutral, to effect communication of either service passage 8 or 9 with the inlet branch 56 via the high pressure bridge, and to effect communication of the other service passage with the outlet passage 35 via the low-pressure bridge 13.
  • valve spool 70 must be shifted to its operating position to the right of its neutral position.
  • high-pressure fluid in the inlet or feeder 56 can flow past the check valve 83 into the high-pressure bridge 24, through its leg 26 and spool groove as into the leg 79 of cored passage 76, and through the leg 7% thereof and spool groove 45 to service passage 8.
  • Pressure fluid returning to service passage 9 from the controlled motor flows through spool groove 48 into leg 80 of core 77, and through leg M and spool groove 49 to branch 22 of the low pressure bridge 13.
  • Fluid flow to and from the service passages is reversed when the valve spool is shifted to its operating position to the left of neutral.
  • the same small U-shaped cores 76 and 77 which provide important segments of the paths along which pressure fluid flows both to and from the service passages 8 and 9 in the operating positions of the valve spool, also comprise the means for conducting to the return passage 13 high-pressure fluid that leaks axially outwardly along the wall of the bore 6 from the inlet branch as in the neutral position of the valve spool.
  • All such leakage fluid flowing along the wall of the bore to one or the other, or both, of the small U-shaped cores 76-77 enters their legs 79 or 8th closest to the high pressure bridge legs 26-27, and flows to the upright branches 21-22 of the low-pressure bridge 13 through the remote legs 78 and 81 of said cores.
  • the cores 76 and 77 conduct the leakage fluid to the low-pressure bridge 113, in bypass relation to the spool lands 5i and 54 that close off the service passages h and 9 from the bore.
  • this invention provides a closed center valve in which lwkage fluid from the inlet chamber of the valve is led to a return or outlet passage through duct means no part of which is comprised of drilled passages in the valve spool, and which duct means can comprise parts of the paths along which pressure fluid flows to and from the service passages of the valve.
