Definitions
- the invention relates to a directional valve with an internal pressure compensator according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such directional valves are advantageously used in mobile hydraulics to control hydraulic consumers in agricultural and construction vehicles.
- a directional control valve of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 is known from DE-Al-198 55 187.
- the directional control valve has an internal pressure compensator which is designed as a hollow slide. This has a radial breakthrough that is permanently connected to a radial breakthrough of the valve piston.
- the valve has a load-sensing ring channel that is continuously connected to a spring chamber of the pressure compensator.
- a similar directional control valve is also known from DE-Al-198 36 564.
- a pressure compensator is arranged within the slide piston designed as a hollow piston.
- the implementation of an additional control edge means additional manufacturing effort.
- the compensation of flow forces is always imperfect if the flows are different in size.
- the hydraulic consumer is a differential cylinder
- the flow rate of the hydraulic medium at the two working ports A and B of the directional control valve is inevitably different.
- such differential cylinders can in turn have different ratios of the mass flows in the inflow and outflow.
- the pressure compensator piston In the "neutral" position, the pressure compensator piston should assume a clearly closed position. However, this is often prevented by the build-up of uncontrollable pressures due to leakages. Leakages between those ring channels of the directional valve, which have different pressures, are inevitable and their size cannot be predicted due to manufacturing tolerances.
- the invention has for its object to provide a directional control valve whose pressure compensator is insensitive to different flow forces caused by different flow rates and at the same time ensures that the hydraulic consumer cannot move in the "neutral" position.
- FIG. 1 shows a sectional illustration of a directional valve piston with an internal pressure compensator in a valve housing
- FIG. 3 shows a representation analogous to FIG. 1, but in a working position of the directional valve
- valve housing 1 part of a valve housing is shown with the reference number 1, which has a longitudinal bore 2.
- the valve housing 1 and also a directional valve piston 3 which is displaceable in the longitudinal bore 2 are symmetrically constructed in two axes.
- the directional valve piston 3 is a hollow slide.
- different annular channels are pierced from the longitudinal bore 2, namely a tank connection ring channel T in the center of symmetry, followed by further vertical channels from the vertical axis of symmetry S s towards the front side of the valve housing 1, namely to the left a working connection ring channel A and to the right is a working connection ring channel B.
- These two working connection ring channels A, B are connected to the load connections of the directional control valve, which are usually referred to as "A" and "B".
- the working connection ring channel B is followed by a pump pressure ring channel P, then a load-sensing ring channel LS and finally an end space ring channel E.
- the same sequence of ring channels is also present to the left, but not in FIG. 1 shown.
- the directional control valve piston 3 in turn has an axial bore 4, in which a pressure compensating piston 5 can be axially displaced against a pressure compensating spring 6.
- the illustration in FIG. 1 shows the directional control valve piston 3 in the neutral position, in which there is neither a connection to the tank connection ring channel T nor to the pump pressure ring channel P from the working connection ring channels A and B.
- the hydraulic consumer connected to the load connections of the directional control valve which are referred to as "A" and "B" as mentioned, is thus stationary.
- the pressure compensating piston 5 is also a hollow slide, that is, it encloses an interior space 7 that is open against the vertical axis of symmetry S s , but on the other side has a closed end wall 8.
- the directional valve piston 3 is also closed on the end face, for example by means of a screw-in closure cap 9.
- the already mentioned pressure balance spring 6 is arranged between the closure cap 9 of the directional valve piston 3 and the end wall 8 of the pressure compensating piston 5.
- the pressure compensating piston has 5 control ribs 10 on the left open side. These form extensions of the cylindrical part of the pressure compensating piston 5. In order to clarify their shape and position, a section line II-II is drawn in, the corresponding section being shown in FIG. 2. 2, the control ribs 10 are cut, while the end faces of the pressure compensating piston 5 lying in between are shown in a top view. The annular section-shaped spaces between the
- Control ribs 10 are referred to as fine control notches and are provided with the reference number 11.
- FIG. 1 Elements essential for the function of the directional control valve are additionally shown in FIG. 1.
- the reference number 19 designates a control spring which acts on the directional control valve piston 3 from a drive (not shown).
- Functionally essential are tank control grooves 20, which are milled into the lateral surface of the directional valve piston 3 and which, with a corresponding relative position of the directional valve piston 3, serve to
- Valve housing 1 to allow the flow of the hydraulic medium from the working connection ring channel B or working connection ring channel A to the tank connection ring channel T, which characterizes the two working positions of the directional control valve. If, for example, the directional valve piston 3 is shifted to the right from the position shown in FIG. 1, then the connection between the working connection ring channel B and the tank connection ring channel T is established via the tank control grooves 20.
- a first valve piston radial breakthrough 21 and a second valve piston radial breakthrough 22 are also essential in terms of their function, the functional significance of which is still to be discussed.
- connection bores 23 are also arranged, through which a permanent connection between the load-sensing ring channel LS and the space surrounding the pressure compensator spring 6, which is referred to as the pressure compensator spring chamber 24, is produced. So that this connection exists at all positions of the pressure compensating piston 5 within the directional control valve piston 3, the inside diameter of the valve is, for example
- Directional valve piston 3 in the area of the pressure compensator spring chamber 24 is larger than the outside diameter of the pressure compensator piston 5.
- other means such as longitudinal grooves, can also be present in order to guarantee this permanent connection between the load-sensing ring channel LS and the pressure compensator spring chamber 24 .
- the pressure prevailing in the load-sensing ring channel LS acts in the pressure compensator spring chamber 24, which, in cooperation with the pressure compensator spring 6, guarantees according to the invention that the pressure compensator piston 5 assumes a clear position in which the pressure compensator piston 5 adopts the working connection annular duct B. shuts off safely, which solves that part of the task that in the "neutral" position there can be no movement of the hydraulic consumer.
- the pressure compensator spring chamber 24 is functionally a control pressure chamber. It is essential to the invention that there is no control edge between the load-sensing ring channel LS and the pressure compensator spring chamber 24, which could adversely affect the pressure in the pressure compensator spring chamber 24.
- the circumferential line of the pressure compensating piston 5 acts as the first control edge of the pressure compensating piston 5 in the area of the fine control notches 10
- the control edge is provided with the reference number 30 in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- Essential to the invention is a feature known per se from the prior art, namely that the pressure compensating piston 5 has at least one radial opening 31 in its cylindrical casing.
- several such radial openings 31 are present, which are evenly distributed over the circumference of the pressure compensating piston 5.
- Each of the radial openings 31 has the shape of an elongated slot.
- the radial openings 31 act as the second control edge of the pressure compensating piston 5. They are in permanent connection with the valve piston radial opening 22. If the pressure in the axial bore 4 of the directional control valve piston 3 and in the interior 7 of the pressure compensating piston 5 increases so high that the pressure force acting on the pressure compensator piston 5 is greater than the sum of the force of the pressure compensator spring 6 and that resulting from the pressure in the pressure compensator spring chamber 24 Pressure compensator piston 5 acting force, the pressure compensator piston 5 moves so far to the right against the pressure compensator spring 6 until the force is balanced again. At a sufficiently high pressure in the axial bore 4 of the directional control valve piston 3 and in the inner space 7 of the pressure compensator piston 5, the pressure compensator piston 5 moves to the right against the pressure compensator spring 6 until the axial bore 4 of the
- a diameter d Dw is also shown, which denotes the outer diameter of the pressure compensating piston 5. This diameter d Dw determines the hydrostatic force effect, which is due to the
- the directional control valve piston 3 shows a working position of the directional valve piston 3. Due to a drive present in such directional control valves, which is not shown in all the figures, the directional control valve piston 3 is displaced to the left within the valve housing 1. This means that there is flow from the pump pressure ring channel P to the working connection ring channel B. Hydraulic medium can now flow from the pump pressure ring channel P through the second valve piston radial opening 22 of the directional control valve piston 3 and through the
- Pressure balance piston 5 within the directional control valve piston 3 adjusts itself in accordance with the difference in the force effects which arise from the pressures in the pump pressure ring channel P and in the load-sensing ring channel LS.
- the pressure compensating piston 5 opens the connection between the valve piston radial opening 21 and the axial bore 4 of the directional control valve piston 3 via its control ribs 10, so that a certain discharge cross-section results at the valve piston radial opening 21. If the pressure in the working connection ring channel B, corresponding to the pressure at the corresponding load connection of the consumer, is high and the resulting pressure force on the pressure compensator piston 5 overcomes the sum of the pressure in the pressure compensator spring chamber 24 and the force of the pressure compensator spring 6, then the pressure builds up in the interior 7 of the pressure compensator piston 5 to the pressure in the working connection ring channel B and moves the pressure compensator piston 5 against the pressure compensator spring 6 as far to the right as is shown in FIG. 3.
- the pressure compensator spring chamber 24 is then connected to the interior 7 of the pressure compensator piston 5.
- the pressure in the load-sensing ring channel LS follows this value because of the connection from the interior 7 of the pressure compensating piston 5 via the connecting bores 23 to the load-sensing ring channel LS.
- the movement of the consumer now takes place in a known manner through the action of a pump regulator, not shown.
- the pump regulator raises the pump pressure so much that the throttle cross section of the second valve piston radial opening 22 des
- a second step of the pressure compensator control takes place when the pressure in the working connection ring channel B, corresponding to the pressure at the corresponding load connection of the consumer, is lower than the pump pressure.
- Through the draining Hydraulic medium drops the pressure in the interior 7 of the pressure compensator piston 5 so far that the pressure compensator piston 5 moves under the influence of the pressure compensator spring 6 in connection with the pressure in the pressure compensator spring chamber 24 until the control ribs 10 have the discharge cross-section at the valve piston radial breakthrough 21 have reduced until the pressure that has now accumulated again in the interior 7 of the pressure compensating piston 5 is in force equilibrium with the forces which result from the effect of the pressure in the pressure compensating spring chamber 24 and the pressure compensating spring 6.
- Pressure compensator results when the largest effective opening cross-section for the radial opening 22 is given by the relative position of the second valve piston radial opening 22 of the directional valve piston 3 to the pump pressure ring channel P. If the inside diameter dj of the pressure compensating piston 5 is large, this results in a small axial flow velocity in the interior 7 of the pressure compensating piston 5 with correspondingly low jet forces. It has proven to be advantageous if the inner diameter d] is dimensioned such that the area d ⁇ ' ⁇ / 4 is approximately three to five times the area of the radial opening 22.
- the pressure compensator spring chamber 24 is fundamentally and continuously connected to the load-sensing ring channel LS.
- the pressure in the interior 7 of the pressure compensating piston 5 can vary depending on the working position of the directional valve piston 3. In the neutral position shown in FIG. 1, it is indefinite. In order to ensure that the interior 7 of the pressure compensating piston 5 also has a defined pressure in this position, it is advantageous to provide a pressure relief bore 40 through which, in the neutral position of the directional control valve piston 3, the axial bore 4 of the directional control valve piston 3 and thus also the interior 7 of the Pressure compensating piston 5 is connected to the tank connection ring channel T.
- the interior 7 of the pressure compensating piston 5 can thus be connected to the tank connection ring channel T, but is only connected in the neutral position. Because the pressure in the tank connection ring channel T during operation of the consumer is generally lower than the pressure in the load-sensing ring channel LS, it is achieved that pressure compensating piston 5 assumes the desired unambiguous position not only because of the effect of the pressure compensating spring 6, but also because of the Pressure difference between the load-sensing ring channel LS and the tank connection ring channel T is still supported. Problems caused by leakage pressure losses cannot arise in this way.
- An alternative way of achieving the desired unique position of the pressure compensating piston 5 in the neutral position by clearly defining the pressure in the interior 7 of the pressure compensating piston 5 is to connect the interior 7 to the load-sensing ring channel LS in the neutral position. Then the pressure compensator spring 6 alone determines the unique position of the pressure compensator piston 5 in the
- connection of the interior 7 with the load-sensing ring channel LS is achieved according to the invention in that the valve piston radial opening 22 is given a different shape. 1 and 3, an annular groove 41 is shown by dashed lines, which connects directly to the valve piston radial opening 22. From Fig. 1 it can be seen that through this to the valve piston radial opening 22 annular groove 41 there is a connection from the interior 7 to the load-sensing ring channel LS, during which Fig. 3 can be seen that this annular groove 41 in the working position of the directional valve piston 3 is ineffective.
- This solution according to the invention with the annular groove 41 is advantageous in particular with regard to the production costs.
- the central part of the end face 12 has the shape of a very flat cone 50 with a tip angle of 150 to 170 degrees.
- Axis of symmetry S s parallel ring surface 51, which then merges into an ellipsoidal surface 52 which surrounds the cross-sectional widening 13.
- This particular shape has an advantageous influence on the flow in the axial bore 4 and represents means for deflecting the flow.
- an inflowing or outflowing jet generates an undesirable resulting axial force component when the inflow and outflow
- FIG. 5 shows an embodiment variant for that end of the pressure compensating piston 5 at which the control edge 30 is located.
- Alternative configurations are shown in FIGS. 6 a) to 6 c). These figures show the 360 ° development of the outer surface of the pressure compensating piston 5 in the area of the fine control notches 11. 6 a) corresponds to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3, while FIGS. 6 b) and 6 c) show alternative embodiments.
- Fig. 6 b) shows triangular spaces and Fig. 6 c) circular segment-shaped spaces.
- 5 and 6 a) to 6 c) show means on the control edge 30 of the pressure compensating piston 5, with which the dependence of the effective opening cross section when moving the pressure compensating piston 5 can be influenced in an advantageous manner.
- the various options can also be combined.
