Definitions
- valve spool of a control valve having inlet, service and exhaust ports spaced axially along the valve spool bore.
- the axial slot always communicates with the service port and extends axially a sufficient distance to permit communication between all three ports as the valve spool is moved from its closed position to its open position. In the closed position one end of the slot is blocked and the other opens-into the exhaust port. In the open position said one end of the slot is open to the inlet port and the other end of the slot is blocked from communication with the exhaust port.
- the valve provides rapid pressure rises in the service port during initial and final movements of the spool from its closed position to its open position.
- variable flow modulated valve shown in US. Pat. No. 3,556,]55.
- An axial slot is formed in the spool of a control valve so as to extend, in the closed position ofthe spool, from a position adjacent an inlet port across a service port and into an exhaust port.
- the opposite axial ends of the slot are enlarged in width by drilling holes in the spool of a diameter greater than the width of the slot.
- the drilled opening at the inlet end of the slot is blocked by a land of a bore in which the valve spool reciprocates when the latter is in its closed position.
- FIG. 1 is a section view showing a pair of steering control valves for a crawler tractor in their closed position
- FIG. 2 shows one of the steering control valve spools shifted slightly toward an open position
- FIG. 3 is a section taken along the line III-III in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a view similar to that of FIG. 2 but showing the spool moved to a full open position
- FIG. 5 is a pressure versus spool displacement graph.
- a pair of steering clutches 11, 12 in the final drive housing 13 of a crawler tractor are controlled by a hydraulic control system including a valve assembly 16.
- the valve assembly 16 includes a valve body 17 having a pair of bores 18, 19 in which a pair of valve spools 2.1, 22 are mounted for axial reciprocation between open and closed positions.
- a pump 23 draws fluid from final drive housing 13, which serves as a reservoir, by way ofline 24 and delivers fluid under pressure via line-25 to an inlet passage 27 which is connected to inlet ports 28, 29 formed in the body 17.
- a pair of service ports 31, 32 are formed in the body in intersecting relation to the bores l8, l9 and are in axially spaced relation to the inlet ports 28, 29.
- the ser vice ports 31, 32 are connected to the clutches 11, 12 through appropriate conduits shown schematically by lines 33, 34.
- a pair of exhaust ports 36, 37, spaced axially of the service ports 31, 32, are connected to one another by an internal passage 38 and are connected by an internal passage 39 to an outlet 41 in the body 17 which in turn is connected to the final drive housing 13 by an exhaust conduit 42.
- Conventional biasing means 51, 52 are provided on the right ends of the valves 21, 22 to bias the valve spools 21, 22 to their illustrated closed positions.
- the valve assembly 16 also includes an unloading valve 56 and a high pressure relief valve 57.
- a pair of diametrically opposite and axially extending slots 71, 72 are formed in the spool 21, as by milling, so as to be of sufficient axial dimension to bridge the distance between inlet port 28 and exhaust port 36 during movement of the spool 21 from its closed position to its open position.
- a pair of drilled openings 73, 74 extend radially in relation to the spool 21 and refect its axis 75. The diameters of the openings 73, 74 are greater than the width x of the slots 71, 72.
- the slots 71, 72 have indentical widths.
- annular recess 81 is provided in the spool 21 in spaced relation to the inlet and outlet openings 73, 74.
- the annular recess 81 is in direct communication with service port 31 in all positions of the spool 21, but does not open into either the inlet port 28 or the exhaust port 36 in any operating position of the spool 21.
- the recess 81 communicates with the openings 73, 74 only through the slots 71, 72.
- the present invention provides a valve spool having an axial slot which is always in fluid communication with the service port.
- the slot also communicates with the exhaust port in the closed position of the valve spool and with the inlet port in the spools open position.
- the slots inlet and outlet ends that is the axially opposite ends, are enlarged to provide a more rapid pressure rise, in relation to valve spool movement, during initial and final movements of the spool from closed to open positions.
- the inlet, service and exhaust ports arespaced axially of one another along the spool bore and communicate with the bore.
- the inlet and service ports 28, 31 are separated by the bore land 76 and the service and exhaust ports 31 and 36 are separated by the bore land 77.
- the bore land 76 cooperates with spool land 82 to prevent fluid flow from the inlet port 28 to the service port 31 in the closed position of the spool 31 as illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the bore land 77 cooperates with spool land 83 to prevent flow from the service port 31 to exhaust port 36 when the spool 21 is in its closed position as shown in FIG. 4.
- the slots 71, 72 and enlarged peripheral openings 73, 74 at their axially opposite ends provide a generally gradual pressure rise in the service port 31 as the spool 21 is moved from its closed to open position with the pressure rise being relatively rapid in the initial and final movement of the spool from closed to open positions.
- This invention provides an excellent pressure versus displacement relationship for crawler tractor hydraulic steering clutch control.
- a control valve of the type having a body with a bore, an inlet port communicating with said bore, a service port communicating with said bore and spaced in one axial direction from said inlet port by a first bore land and an exhaust port communicating with said bore and spaced in said one axial direction from said service port by a second bore land, characterized by:
- a spool reciprocatively mounted in said bore for axial movement between closed and open positions and having an axially extending slot in its periphery in communication with said service port, and
- first and second enlarged peripheral openings in said slot at its opposite axial ends respectively, said first opening being blocked by said first bore land and said second opening being in full free flow communication with said exhaust port when said spool is in its closed position, said first opening being in full free flow communication with said inlet port and said second opening being blocked by said second bore land when said spool is in its open position.
