Definitions
- a restrictor provided for controlling flow in the discharge line is variably opened and closed in response to operation of the changeover valve.
- a metering valve in the control unit is responsive to pressure drops across the restrictor and operates to bypass supply fluid to the discharge line downstream of the restrictor to change over without damage to the system.
- This invention relates generally to hydraulic motors and more particularly to a hydraulic system with a new and improved changeover control unit.
- Hydraulic systems are known wherein the changeover valve for effecting motor reversal and the metering valve and restrictor are separate components
- the restrictor in these systems is located in the pressure line leading to the changeover valve.
- the restrictor To effect a change of direction of rotation of the motor the restrictor must be first so adjusted that the quantity of fluid supplied to the motor is very small, before the changeover can be carried out. If care is not taken to do this, the system can be damaged.
- the braking of the motor is also accompanied by problems, since, due to the inertia of the moving parts, the motor acts as a pump and may produce a reduced pressure between the closed restrictor and itself.
- the control arrangement for such systems is very expensive; it requires considerable space, numerous components and connecting passages.
- a principal object of the invention is to eliminate the above disadvantages partially or completely.
- this is achieved by connecting an adjustable part of a discharge flow restrictor to an adjustable part of a changeover valve, for reversing the motor, and arranging a metering valve in the changeover valve.
- joint adjustment of the restrictor and the changeover valve is achieved, so that not only is operation simpler, but no changeover can take place without a prior reduction of the quantity of fluid supplied to the motor.
- the changeover valve, the metering valve and the restrictor considerable spaceand expense are saved.
- many of the connecting passages extending from one device to another can be dispensed with.
- the adjustable restrictor is connected in the discharge line of the hydraulic motor.
- the restrictor When the restrictor is closed, heavy forced braking of the motor results because the line through which the motor seeks to discharge fluid, as a result of its pumping action is blocked.
- the motor has a very constant speed because the restrictor in the discharge line measures the fluid actually doing work in the motor but does not measure leakage fluid.
- the restrictor is fully closed at that portion of two operating positions directly adjacent a neutral position. This causes a braking action to occur before the actual neutral position is reached and the neutral position itself can thus be free of any braking action.
- the two working passages can be interconnected in the neutral position. This allows the motor to run light and this is very advantageous for many purposes.
- the changeover valve according to the invention comprises two concentric sleeves, rotatable relatively to each other, one of which sleeves forms the restrictor and has at least one orifice and the other of which sleeves forms a cover for the orifices in a peripheral or circumferential direction.
- the cover in the circumferential direction is somewhat wider than the orifice so that a braking position is obtained on both sides of the neutral position at which the orifices are covered.
- the orifice in the restrictor is advantageously formed by extending at least one such longitudinal groove.
- a piston axially displaceable against a spring force, is disposed inside the inner sleeve.
- the end faces of the piston are acted upon by the pressure on the two sides of the restrictor and, together with an axially immobilized part, form the metering valve.
- the longitudinal grooves connected to the restrictor carry out an additional function if they extend beyond the piston and are connected, by way of a transverse passage, to the end face chamber, beyond the piston.
- the longitudinal grooves connected to the restrictor can communicate with the pressure line in the neutral position of the changeover valve. This results in the metering valve being exposed to the full pressure of the system in the neutral position and accordingly it opens fully, i.e. directs the entire quantity of fluid delivered by the pump past the changeover valve.
- the outer sleeve of the changeover valve is made adjustable for adjusting relative to the pump output.
- a cam can be used as the adjusting element.
- the outer sleeve of the control unit prefferably be of increased diameter near an annular passage communicating with the pressure line, and. for a resilient element to be interposed between the adjusting element and the sleeve.
- This resilient element consists of, for example, a resilient ring fitted round an eccentric pin on the adjusting element.

- FIG. I illustrates a hydraulic system having a pump 1, which supplies fluid under pressure from a source 2 to a control device 4 through a pressure line 3.
- a reversible hydraulic motor 7 is connected to the control device through two working passages 5 and 6.
- a discharge line 8 connects the control device to the source 2,,through a return hydraulic fluid filter 9.
- a pressure relief valve 10 interconnects the pressure line 3 and the discharge line 8 and opens when a set pressure is exceeded.
- a metering valve 1 l is arranged in parallel with the relief valve and is controlled by the pressure drop at a regulatable restrictor 12. The metering valve 11 is connected to discharge line 8 portions 8a and 8b upstream of and downstream of the restrictor 12, by two stepping lines 13 and 14 so that it will be controlled by the pressure drop across the restrictor 12.
- a changeover valve 15 is provided for reversing the motor and is shown schematically. While the changeover valve is shown as axially operable it is constructed as a rotary valve as later described. It has five main positions, designated a through e, into which it can be positioned by outside actuating means, for example a hand lever or control 16. In a neutral position 0, the pressure line 3 is connected to the two working passages 5 and 6, and a connecting passage 17, while a blocking element 18 blocks the discharge line 8. In two operating positions, a and e, the pressure line 3 and the discharge line 8 are each connected with one of the two working passages 5 and 6. The changeover valve has two braking positions b and d.
- pressure line 3 is connected to one of the two working passages 5 or 6, and blocking elements 19 and 20 block the discharge line.
- a pressure relief valve 21, 22 which opens at a predetermined excess pressure and passes fluid under pressure to the discharge line 8, downstream of the restrictor 12, through a line 23.
- the restrictor 12 is connected, through a mechanical coupling 24, to the movable part of the changeover valve 15 and is therefore likewise adjusted upon movement of the hand lever 16. Furthermore, the pressure applied in the pressure line 3 acts upon the restrictor through a stepping line 25. Finally, the restrictor 12 also forms the blocking elements 18, 19 and 20 in the neutral position c and in the two braking positions, b and d, of the changeover valve 15.
- the two working passages 5, 6 are interconnected in the neutral position.
- the motor 7 can therefore run light.
- the quantity of fluid supplied by the pump is divided by the metering valve; the rest flows through the motor.
- the opening position of the metering valve 11 is controlled by the pressure drop at the restrictor 12, through which all the fluid passing through the motor flows.
- the increase in cross section of the restrictor is in linear relationship with the adjustment of the changeover valve.
- valve is actually a rotary valve and the neutral position c is limited to a rotary angle of 3 on each side of the zero line, and the next 0.5 corresponds to the braking position. Further rotation of the valve up to 20 leads gradually to the restrictor 12 being fully opened.
- FIGS. 2-7 An embodiment of some of the arrangement is shown in FIGS. 2-7.
- the relief pressure valve 10 which is also housed in the control device 4, cannot be seen.
- a through bore is closed by a cover 27.
- a plurality of sleeves is arranged with the sleeves disposed concentrically one within the other.
- a first sleeve 28 is nonrotatable but is axially displaceable.
- a pin 29, which is mounted eccentrically on a screw 31 provided with an adjusting nut 30 and which has a resilient ring 32, engages in a complementary recess in the sleeve to preclude rotary motion but allows axial movement of the sleeve.
- a second sleeve 33 is axially fixed between the cover 27 and a retaining element 34, but it can be rotated. It is provided with a toothed portion 35 for receiving a toothed spindle for rotation thereof.
- a third sleeve 36 is axially held against the second sleeve 33 by means of a resilient spring 37 and a bearing edge 38. It can rotate with the second sleeve but need not do so.
- a fourth sleeve or piston 39 is pressed against a circlip 42 by a spring 40, which abuts against a plate 41 near the toothed portion 35. It can move axially towards the plate 41 as far as the clearance between the end of a pin 43 and the plate 41 will allow.
- the first sleeve 28 and housing define four annular chambers.
- An annular chamber 49 communicates with a threaded connection passage or bore 50 for the pressure line, and an annular chamber 51 communicates a threaded connection passage or bore 52 for the discharge line.
- Two intermediate annular chambers, 53 and 54, lead to passages 55 and 56 for communications with and connection to the working passages 5, 6.
- Three openings 57, 58 and 59 distributed equidistantly over the periphery connect each of the annular chambers 49, 54 and 53 to the interior of the first sleeve 28.
- the second sleeve has three fairly short longitudinal grooves 60 and, between these, three longer longitudinal grooves 61.
- the shorter longitudinal grooves 60 can connect the openings 57 with the openings 58 and 59 respectively.
- the longer longitudinal grooves 61 perform the same function, but in addition extend as far as the annular chamber 51. There, they are substantially fully covered by tabs 62 on the first sleeve 28.
- openings 63 lead from the shorter longitudinal grooves 60 to the inside of the second sleeve 33, while openings 64 lead from the longer longitudinal grooves 61 to the interior.
- Openings 65 are provided as extensions of the shorter longitudinal grooves, which openings connect the inner chamber 66 of the bore to the annular chamber 51.
- the third sleeve 36 defines near the openings 63, an annular chamber 67 with openings 68, and, near the openings 64, an annular chamber 69 with openings 70. Moreover, openings 71 are provided on the left-hand side, and these lead into the inner chamber 66.
- the piston 39 has a longitudinally extending annular chamber 72, which connects the openings 68 with the openings 71 in the third sleeve 36, when the sleeve 39 is axially displaced to the left.
- the first sleeve 28 is of somewhat greater diameter than in its left-hand portion. It is therefore biased to the right side of the drawing by the pressure obtaining inthe annular chamber 49, the axial displacement depending upon the return force of the resilient ring 32.
- the pressure in the longer longitudinal groove 61 obtains each time in a chamber 74 to the right of the piston 39, since this chamber communicates with this groove through the opening 64, the annular chamber 69 and the openings 70.
- the pressure in the annular chamber 51 obtains each time in the inner chamber 66, since these two chambers are interconnected by the openings 65. Consequently, the piston 39 is subjected to the effect of the pressure drop at the restrictor, which is here formed by the longitudinal groove 61 and the tab 62. Consequently, the piston 39 moves a corresponding distance to the left against the spring 40 and the annular chamber 72 opens by the uncovering of a variable portion of the openings 71.
- the annular chamber 72 and the openings 71 form the metering valve, which communicates with the pressure line connection 50 through the openings 60, the annular chamber 67, the openings 63, the shorter longitudinal grooves 60, the openings 57 and the annular chamber 49, and communicates with the discharge line connection 52 through the inner chamber 66, the openings 65 and the annular chamber 51.
- the restrictor can be matched to the maximum cross section of the flow passage of the particular machine or motor connected in the system. It will be seen that this does not interfere with the linear increase in the opening of the restrictor. Furthermore, as already mentioned, the outer sleeve 28 is displaced axially against the return force of the resilient ring 32, in dependence upon the magnitude of the initial pressure, so that the restrictor opening can also be varied in dependence thereon.
- FIGS. 2 to 7 show a condition which might correspond to a clockwise running or rotation of the motor and which coincides with the position a of the changeover valve.
- fluid under pressure flows through the connection passage and passes through the annular chamber 49, the openings 57, the short longitudinal groove 60, the openings 58, the annular chamber 54 and the connection passage 56 to the working passage 5 of the motor.
- the fluid flows through the passage 6, to the connection passage 55 and then through the annular chamber 53, the openings 59, the longer longitudinal groove 61, the restrictor, the annular chamber 51 and the connection passage 52, to the discharge line.
- the second sleeve 33 is rotated toward the neutral position, then, shortly before the changeover opening, i.e. just before connection takes place between the longitudinal grooves 60, 61 and the openings 58, 59 is rendered noneffective, the left-hand end of the longitudinal groove 61 will have been fully covered by the tabs 62. No fluid can therefore continue to flow to the motor by the normal path. The motor is thus braked. The fluid can then flow only from the annular chambers 53 or 541, through the associated pressure relief valves 47 and 48 respectively, bypassing the restrictor 61, 62 and into the traverse bore 44 and then to the discharge line 8.
- a neutral position spring 76 consisting of, FIG. 8, four spring plates 75, bears against both the first sleeve 28 and the second sleeve 33 in the nonoperating position. If the second sleeve is turned, the spring plates 75 are tensioned and permit the second sleeve to return to the nonoperating position again upon completion of rotation.
