Definitions

  • a hydraulic pump and valve unit for operating a hydraulically powered device such as a hydraulic power cylinder for raising and lowering the cab of an automotive truck, includes a pump portion closely coupled to a valve portion, the latter having a cylindrical valve spool with an axial bore adapted to receive hydraulic fluid from the pump portion of the unit.
  • the valve spool is rotatably mounted and arranged so as to supply inflowing hydraulic fluidunder pressure to one port of the hydraulically powered device and to receive return fluid from another port of such device when in one position, and to reverse said supply and return in a rotated position.
  • the pump is located between a hydraulic fluid reservoir and the valve, and the supply of hydraulic fluid from the former to the latter by the pump is through check-valved passage means providing a substantially direct and free flow path for the fluid.
  • the invention is in the field of pump and valve systems for causing and controlling forward and reverse flows of hydraulic fluid to and from a hydraulically powered device, such as a lift cylinder commonly employed in a truckcab-raising and lowering system.
  • the pump and valve are closely coupled portions of a unitary device and the feed from pump reservoir to the pump proper and from pump proper to valve is through the same flow passage, thereby mi imizing flow distance.
  • Pressurized hydraulic fluid from the pump portion of the unit is supplied directly to an axial bore in the valve spool of the valve portion of the unit. Back-flow is prevented by a check valve advantageously located in such bore, thereby providing for containment of pressure within the valve.
  • Ports may be and preferably are spaced 120 apart. This makes for improved sealing characteristics.
  • a particularly advantageous feature in connection with use of the device in a track-cab-raising and lowering system is the provision for cushioning of free fall of the truck cab substantially immediately upon the commencement of free fall. This is accomplished by the arrangement for direct and relatively free flow of hydraulic fluid from the pump portion of the unit to the valve portion thereof.
  • the flow passage through which the pump is supplied with hydraulic fluid from the pump reservoir on its intake stroke and through which the control valve is supplied with pressurized hydraulic fluid on the pressure stroke of the pump is provided with a check valve between pump and pump reservoir, permitting inflow from reservoir to pump on the latters intake stroke and preventing back-flow into the reservoir on the pressure stroke.
  • the other check valve aforementioned being of reverse type, prevents the pulling of hydraulic fluid from the system on the intake stroke of the pump during supply thereto of fluid from the reservoir.
  • FIG. 1 represents a view in front elevation of a hydraulic pump and valve unit conforming to the invention
  • FIG. 2 a top plan view of the same
  • FIG. 3 a view in vertical section taken on the line 3-3 of FIG. 2, and showing various hidden parts in broken lines;
  • FIG. 4 a view in vertical section taken on the line 4-4 of FIGS;
  • FIG. 5 a detail view in transverse vertical section of the valve portion of the unit taken on the. line 5-5 of FIG. 4, showing one position of the valve spool for the supply and return of hydraulic fluid to a hydraulicallyoperated device, such as a lift cylinder for raising and lowering the cab of an automotive truck;
  • a hydraulicallyoperated device such as a lift cylinder for raising and lowering the cab of an automotive truck;

  • FIG. 7 a fragmentary view in longitudinal vertical section taken on the line 77 of FIG. 5, showing the valve spool in elevation;
  • FIG. 8 a fragmentary view in longitudinal horizontal section taken on the line 88 of FIG. 6;
  • FIG. 9 a view in transverse vertical section taken on the line 99 of FIG. 8.
  • the unit comprises a valve portion 10, FIG. 1, closely coupled to a pump portion 11.
  • a valve body 12, FIGS. 2 and 4 is connected to a pump housing 13, which is attached to a reservoir 14, FIG. 3, for holding a supply of hydraulic fluid.
  • a cylindrical valve spool 15 is rotatably received by and extends through the valve body, and is rotated by means of a handle 16.
  • a pump cylinder 17 having a piston 18 adapted for manual reciprocation by means of a pump handle 19.
  • the handle is secured at one end in a socket piece 20, which is pivotally attached to a mounting post 21, FIGS. 1 and 3, extending from and attached to the pump housing, and which is also pivotally attached to the upper end of piston 18.
  • a socket piece 20 which is pivotally attached to a mounting post 21, FIGS. 1 and 3, extending from and attached to the pump housing, and which is also pivotally attached to the upper end of piston 18.
  • Valve spool 15 is provided with an axial bore 15a extending thereinto from one end. Such bore communicates directly with a preferably rectilinear flow pas- A check valve in flow passage 22 between reservoir 14 and pump cylinder port 24 is provided by a bail 25 normally held against seat 26a of an adaptor sleeve 26 by spring 27. A second, reverse-acting check valve, conveniently located in bore 15a of valve spool 15, is provided by a ball 28 normally held against seat 29 of a sleeve '29 by spring 30.
  • Passage 31 opens into flow passage 22, and thereby communicates with pump cylinder 17 through port 24.
  • Passage 32 communicates with reservoir l4'through a pressure relief valve 33.
  • a pressure relief valve 34 FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, leading to atmosphere, is also provided in the top wall of reservoir 14.
  • Hydraulic fluid is supplied to reservoir 14 through a fitting 35, FIG. 3, which is normally closed by a plug
  • a longitudinal groove 38 is provided on the surface of the spool 120 from each of the flow passages 36 and '37 and extending from circumferential alignment therewith to a circumferential groove 39, FIGS-7, 8 and 9, provided around the surface of the spool at a location spaced axially along the spool.
  • a oair of passages 40 and 41, FIGS. 5 and 6, are provided in valve body 12 for selective registry with either the groove 38 and passage 37, respectively, of the valve spool, as in FIG. 5, or with the passage 36 and groove 38, respectively, as in FIG. 6.
  • one of the passages of the valve body is in communication with one of the divergent passages of the valve spool and the other in communication with the longitudinal groove of such valve spool in each of the two working positions of the valve. This can be seen by comparing FIGS. 5 and 6.
  • longitudinal groove 38 of the valve spool communicates with circumferential groove 39 thereof in both of the two working positions of such spool.
  • a third passage 42, FIG. 7, within valve body 12 has a radial portion 42a positioned to register with circumferential groove 39 of valve spool 15 and a longitudinal portion 42b that communicates with a fluid-return passage 43 in pump housing 13 through a restricted orifice 44 of adjustable type.
  • Passage 43 (shown only fragmentarily) leads back to reservoir 14.
  • valve spool With the valve spool placed in the position shown in FIG. 6, movement of the pump handle up and down forces hydraulic fluid under pressure into and through axial flow passage 36 thereof, and into and through passage 40 of valve body 12 from where it flows through a line 45 into one end of the lift cylinder (not shown) of the overall system. This raises the cab of the truck in well known manner.
  • the fluid in the-opposite end of the lift cylinder flows back'into valve 10 through a line 46 attached to passage 41, which is in communication with longitudinal groove 38.
  • the return fluid flows into circumferential groove 39, into passage 42, through orifice 44, into passage 43, and thence into the reservoir 14.
  • valve spool 15 may be rotated slightly so that passage 41 of valve body 12 is in only partial communication with groove 38, thereby further restricting fluid flow from the lift cylinder. If the valve spool is' rotated enough so that there is no communication between passage 41 and groove 38, the truck cab will remain stationary.
  • valve spool 12 To operate the power cylinder in the opposite direction for returning the truck cab to its original closed condition, valve spool 12 is rotated clockwise from its position in FIG. 6 to the position shown in FIG. 5.
  • the pump is now connected through axial flow passage 22a and flow passage 37 of the valve spool and through passage 41 of the valve body to the opposite end of the lift cylinder of the overall system.
  • Pressure fluid now forces the piston in the power cylinder in the opposite direction, and return fluid from the lift cylinder flows into and through passage 40 of the valve body into and through longitudinal groove 38, circumferential groove 39, passage 42, orifice 44, and passage 43 back to reservoir l4.
  • pumping is continued until the center of gravity of the truck cab reaches its high point, at which time it continues its travel by free fall in a manner similar to that explained above.
  • valve spool 15 The two working positions of valve are reached easily by providing stops for handle 16 at appropriate locations determining the limits of its back and forth movements, which bring selective registry of certain ports in valve spool with certain ports in valve body 12, all as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, respectively.
  • terminal end portion 15b of valve spool 15 is of reduced diameter and passes through a hollow cap member 12a of valve body 12 before receiving control handle 16.
  • a pin 47 extends radially into chamber 48 of valve body cap member 12a, between a pair of limit stops, from securement in valve spool end portion 15b.
  • the limit stops are provided by set screws 49, FIG. 1, accessible from the exterior of the valve body.
  • one such passage extending from the axial flow passage to the surface of the spool could be provided, together with two longitudinal grooves (like 38) connecting to a circumferential groove (like 39), with the said one passage being located an equal angular distance from both of the longitudinal grooves and within either the larger or smaller sector between such grooves.
  • circumferential groove 39 is illustrated as extending completely around the valve spool, and this is presently preferred because of manufacturing techniques, it should be realized that this groove need only extend a distance equal to the distance between one of the divergent flow passages and longitudinal groove 38.
  • a hydraulic pump and valve unit comprising a pump portion and a valve portion closely coupled in fluid flow communication with each other through a flow passage extending therebetween, the pump portion being a reservoir for hydraulic fluid and the valve portion comprising a valve body anda valve spool rotatably mounted in the valve body and having an axial bore therein in direct fluid flow communication with said flow passage, said flow passage extending from said reservoir to said axial bore; a pump cylinder and piston in said pump portion of the unit, the cylinder having a port opening into said flow passage between the reservoir and the valve for intake and discharge of hydraulic fluid on the suction and pressure strokes, respectively, of said piston; check valve means between said port and said reservoir for permitting fluid to flow from the reservoir to the pump cylinder on the suction stroke of the piston but preventing backflow into said reservoir on the pressure stroke of the piston; check valve means between said port and said valve for permitting fluid to flow from the pump cylinder into the valve on the pressure stroke of the piston by way of said flow passage and said axial bore but preventing backflow into said cylinder
  • the sets of cooperative flow passages comprise a pair of divergent flow passages extending radially through the valve spool at a location in common along the length thereof and in communication with the axial bore thereof and opening into the exterior circumferential surface of the valve spool; a pair of flow passages extending transversely through the valve body in circumferential alignment with said divergent flow passages; a circumferential groove formed in the said exterior surface of the valve spool spaced longitudinally thereof from said divergent flow passages; a longitudinal groove formed in the said exterior circumferential surface of the valve spool and extending from communication with said circumferential groove to a location on said exterior circumferential surface of the valve spool that lies between the port openings thereinto of said divergent flow passages; and a flow passage in the valve body in registry with said circumferential groove and in flow communication with the return flow passage means.
