Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pilot operated check valve that can be used, for example, in mobile hydraulics.
  • hydraulics in moving machines has increased in recent years. This is especially true for earth-moving machines, industrial trucks, agricultural tractors and self-propelled harvesting machines. Since hydrostatic travel drives allow speed control without shifting, but are not very efficient, hydraulic drives are not primarily geared towards the forward movement. The main area of application of hydraulic drives can be seen in the operation of work organs.
  • the working elements can be provided both on the agricultural tractor, which is used for pushing, carrying and driving agricultural and forestry equipment, and on the agricultural and forestry equipment itself.
  • the use of hydraulically controlled working cylinders in the hoist is particularly important.

  • This check valve can either can be unlocked hydraulically or electromagnetically.
  • the advantage of electromagnetic unlocking is that the unlocking can be carried out optimally over time and that the energy loss is lower with frequently changing operating states.
  • European patent application 90 312 061.6 discloses a solenoid valve which is constructed similarly to a simple check valve, but which has the following special feature: the pressure at the working connection, which acts in a pressure chamber, acts on the base of the piston of the solenoid valve.
  • a pilot control chamber is formed in the piston as a chamber which is connected to the pressure chamber via a recess in the base of the piston.
  • the pressure of the pressure connection is applied to the piston skirt.
  • a connection recess between the space and the pressure connection via the wall of the piston skirt is not provided.
  • the valve can thus only be opened by lifting the piston off a seat edge, as a result of which a certain fluid flow suddenly flows through the shut-off valve. Proportional control with predetermined behavior cannot be carried out for low volume flows.
  • a check valve for a safety circuit which has two flow positions.
  • the check valve is located in front of a working cylinder.
  • an electromagnet in the non-return valve is fully energized so that the fluid between the pump and working cylinder can flow through two bores, one of which throttles more.
  • the electromagnet is not energized to quickly extend the working cylinder, which means that the valve works as a simple check valve.
  • a small current is applied to the electromagnet, - 2.- so that the fluid between the pump and the working cylinder can flow through two holes, the other of the holes throttling more.
  • the electromagnet is fully energized for rapid lowering, so that the same opening of the two holes results as when slowly extending. In the case of rapid lowering, however, the non-return piston also rises.
  • the volume flow through the valve is thus controlled by setting two flow positions through the electromagnet.
  • a finely controllable shut-off valve for a hydraulic working cylinder in which the lowering of the working cylinder can take place proportionally.
  • This lowering brake valve throttles the pressure medium flowing back from the working cylinder in order to prevent the load on the working cylinder from leading ahead or "jerking" of the working cylinder.
  • 13 cylinder spaces 42, 43, 44 are located axially one behind the other in a valve housing 21 of the known valve 13.

  • valve member 35 When lifting, the valve member 35 has the function of the piston of a simple check valve, ie that the valve member 35 from a certain pressure in the pressure chamber 42nd - - takes off from valve seat 24. As a result, the working cylinder 14 extends. A pressure chamber 47 of the valve member 35 is supplied with pressure fluid from the pressure chamber 43 via a bore 51 in the valve member 35, which serves to dampen the opening movement of the valve member 35. The opening movement of the valve member 35 is not controlled via the proportional magnet 32.
  • the fluid from the working cylinder 14 can therefore flow via the pressure chamber 43, the bore 51, the pressure chamber 47, the transverse bore 49 and the fine control notch 50 into a stepped bore 58 and via a notch 60 into a control sleeve 53 into the pressure chamber 42, the latter takes up low volume flow of the fluid, the fluid being returned to the tank 11 via the position I of the valve 12.
  • the pressure in the pressure chamber 42 increases. From a certain pressure level, the valve member 35 opens with respect to the valve seat 24 due to the pressure on the valve member 35. At the same time, the opening cross section of the transverse bore 49 and the fine control notch 50 decreases.
  • the object of the present invention is to better adapt the speed control to a desired behavior of the working cylinder, both when retracting and when extending a working cylinder.

If the control piston is then continuously moved away from the end of the main piston, the second recess opens in proportion to the stroke of the control piston until a second actuation position is reached.

L'invention concerne une soupape d'arrêt pilotée présentant, dans un piston principal (520), un élément de pilotage (540) permettant de modifier le rapport entre la résistance hydraulique d'un premier ajutage (122, 541, 543a, 543b, 524) situé dans le piston principal et la résistance hydraulique d'un deuxième ajutage (123) également situé dans le piston principal. Le premier ajutage est relié à un raccord au niveau duquel se trouve de préférence une pompe, et le deuxième ajutage est relié à un raccord au niveau duquel se trouve de préférence un vérin d'actionnement d'un consommateur. Une commande appropriée de l'élément de pilotage (540) permet de modifier le rapport entre les résistances hydrauliques des ajutages et par conséquent d'accélérer ou de ralentir l'extraction et la rétraction du vérin d'actionnement.
