Definitions
- control pressure P c is fed back to the armature via a nozzle bore and reacts with the torque motor and reaction spring to achieve a constant P c regardless of the pilot pressure P, magnitude.
- control pressures vary with pilot supply pressure since P., is used as a feedback parameter.
- United States Patent 3,410,308, issued to W. C. Moog, Jr. on November 12, 1968, United States Patent 3,430,656, issued March 4, 1969 to J.W. Hawk, and United States Patent 2,934,765, issued April 26, 1960 to T. H. Carson, are also of interest.
- Jupa Another patent of interest is that to E. C. Jupa, issued March 7, 1961, No. 2,973,746, which shows a bridge network.
- the adjustable nozzle is stationary and not attached to the main spool as in the instant invention.
- Jupa does not incorporate a moving nozzle with a one-to-one position feedback.
- Jupa also has two variable orifices.
- the flapper nozzle of course, is adjustable and his needle valve, on the end of the spool, is also adjustable.
- French Patent No. 2307209 discloses a hydraulic proportional adjustment valve which comprises an electromechanical converter which is screwed on to a valve housing in which a piston is slidably mounted having a shouldered portion of larger diameter, servo fluid being fed through equal orifices W 1 and W 2 then through another equally sized orifice W 4 in one end of the spool and through a variable orifice W 3 in the other end of the spool.
- the valve in French Patent No. 2307209 also makes use of a control stem acting on an orifice in the spool end to influence the position of the spool.
- the construction of the French Patent not only differs in detail from the construction of the present invention but also differs in principle in that there is no means by which pilot pressure can be isolated from the working pressure.
- an electro-hydraulic servo valve is disclosed in which a flow of hydraulic working fluid is provided proportional to a control signal.
- fluid at both pilot pressure and working pressure is used and to minimise the introduction of foreign matter in the pilot valve portion an independent source of hydraulic fluid may be used.
- the details of the valve disclosed in USA Patent No. 2972999 are entirely different from the valve in accordance with this invention.
- the construction disclosed in USA Patent No. 2972999 does not achieve the main advantage obtained by isolating the pilot pressure from the working pressure because in No. 2972999 the working pressure has an effect on the position of the piston valve which is not desirable.
- the main disadvantage of a construction in which the supply pressure can effect the position of a piston or spool in the valve is that variations in the load pressure may cause variations in the supply pressure causing undesired fluctuations of the spool.
- the supply pressure is not only isolated from the pilot pressure but the chamber into which the valve spool and a control stem extend contains reduced pilot pressure and not tank pressure or supply pressure. This means that the spool is not subject to transient movements caused by variations in the supply pressure due to variations in the load pressure. lr 4 some cases this may be critical not only to the quality of the product to be made but also to the safety of the user.
- a flow control servo valve comprising a valve housing having an axial bore therethrough, a valve control spool axially movable within the bore so as to take up a balanced position within the housing, first and second end chambers one disposed at each end of the spool, a source of pilot pressure connected through first and second equal orifices to the first and second end chambers respectively, a third orifice equal to the first and second orifices and extending between the axial bore and the first end chamber, a fourth orifice of variable size between the axial bore and the second end chamber and a force motor with an axially movable actuator member so arranged that axial movement of the actuator member varies the size of the variable orifice which in turn causes the control spool to move axially to assume a new position to reestablish the balance, characterised in that the pilot pressure is isolated from the working pressure so that when in operation reciprocal movement of the spool in the valve body is effected by the isolated pilot
- the numeral 10 indicates a valve housing having a bore 12 therethrough. Reciprocally received within the bore 12 is a spool 14 equipped with four land areas 16, 18, 20, and 22. Between land areas 16 and 18 is a groove area 24, and between land areas 20 and 22 is a groove area 26. Land areas 18 and 20 are machined with close tolerances for reasons which will become apparent hereinafter.
- the valve housing 10 is machined with four internal grooves 28, 30, 32 and 34 located opposite the axial extremities of the land areas 18 and 20 when the spool 14 is in the position shown in Figure 2.
- Groove areas 24 and 26 communicate with a tank 36 (shown only in Figure 4) by way of a passageway 38 and a return port 40.
- Internal grooves 28 and 30 can communicate with a load 42 by way of passageway 44
- internal grooves 32 and 34 can communicate with the load 42 by way of a passageway 46.
- Passageways 44 and 46 are closed and opened by the movements of land areas 18 and 20, respectively; in the location of the spool 14 shown in Figure 2, both passageways are closed.
- a pressure groove 48 which communicates via passage 51 with a port 50 shown in Figure 1.
- the port 50 is connected to the output of a pump 52, so that pressure from the pump 52 is communicated to the pressure groove 48 and can then be communicated to either passageway 44 or passageway 46, depending on the position of spool 14.
- pressure from the pressure groove 48 is communicated to neither passageway.
- pressurized fluid will flow to the load 42 through internal groove 30 and passageway 44 and return to tank 36 via passageway 46 and internal groove 34.
- pressurized fluid will flow to the load 42 through internal groove 32 and passageway 46 and return to tank 36 via passageway 44 and internal groove 28.
- a chamber 54 closed by an end gland 56 retained in position on the valve housing 10 by clips 58 and bolts 60.
- End gland 56 receives a piston 62, a screw 64, a jam nut 66, and a centering spring 68.
- a chamber 70 which receives a second centering spring 72 and which is closed by apparatus described hereinafter.
- the piston 62, the screw 64, the jam nut 66 and the two centering springs 68 and 72 collectively serve as a mechanical "null" adjustment for the spool 14. That is, by adjusting screw 64 it is possible to initially locate land areas 18 and 20 on the spool 14 so that the internal grooves 28 and 30 align with land 18 and grooves 32 and 34 align with land 20 of spool 14.
- Chambers 54 and 70 are subjected to intermediate control pressures by means of orifices 74 (A 1 ) and 76 (A z ), which communicate with the chambers 54 and 70 via the conduits 78 and 80, respectively.
- the orifices 74 and 76 are of fixed dimensions and are equal to each other.
- An isolated pilot port 82 which serves as a source of isolated pilot pressure, communicates with the orifices 74 and 76 via an internal filter 84 which protects those orifices from fluid contamination.
- conduit 86 communicates at its right end with the groove area 26 via a hole 88 in the spool 14 and at its left end with the chamber 54 via a third fixed orifice 90 (A3) which is equal to orifice 74 (A 1 ) and orifice 76 (A z ).
- a force motor 94 Attached to the right end of valve housing 10, as seen in Figure 2, by means of a mounting cap 92 is a force motor 94 having a force motor stem 96 terminating in a planar end 98 which extends toward the right end of the spool 14.
- the end of the spool 14 which faces the force motor 94 carries a pressed-in nozzle 100 having a planar annular surface 102 disposed opposite and parallel to the planar end 98 of the force motor stem 96.
- the area between the planar end 98 of the force motor stem 96 and the planar annular surface 102 on the nozzle 100 constitutes a fourth orifice 104 (A4), which, as explained hereinafter, is of variable area.
- the force motor 94 preferably includes a built-in bias spring to overcome any force built up on the force motor stem 96 due to the pressure at the nozzle 100 opening.
- Mounting cap 92 is retained in position on the valve housing 10 by clips 106 and bolts 108. At the left end of mounting cap 94 is a flat washer 110 which abuts the centering spring and which limits the travel of the spool 14 in the right-hand direction.
- the force motor 94 is mounted in the mounting cap 92 by threads 112 and retained for locking purposes by locking ring 114. This arrangement allows external adjustment of the force motor stem 96, which in turn permits external manual adjustment of the variable orifice 104 (A4).
- the force motor 94 is adjusted so that the variable orifice 104 (A4) equals the fixed orifices 74 (A,), 76 (A 2 ), and 90 (A3) in effective area.
- the pressures in each of the chambers 54 and 70 is exactly half the pilot supply pressure applied to pilot port 82. Since the pressures in the chambers 54 and 70 are equal to each other, the spool 14 is held stationary, which is called the "null" of the valve.
- the spool 14 will move only that amount necessary to re-establish the force balance.
- the spool 14 is held in the newly attained position. If the input to the force motor 94 is later varied, the spool 14 will quickly move to a new position re-establishing the force balance. In particular, if the input to the force motor 94 later ceases, the spool 14 will return to the "null" of the valve. Similarly, lack of controlling pressures in the chambers 54 and 70 caused, for instance, by failure of the pump 52 (if the isolated pilot pressure is derived from the pump 52) will cause the spool 14 to return to its "null" position.
- control pressure bridge is displayed schematically in Figure 4.
- the subject invention provides a pilot pressure bridge arrangement in which there are four orifices, only one of which is variable. An automatic feedback is thus developed which provides accurate, continuous control.
