Abstract (en)
[origin: US2004069359A1] The invention is based on a directional control valve which is used for the control, in particular the load-independent control, of a hydraulic load in terms of direction and speed. A known directional control valve of this kind has, in a piston bore of a valve housing, a control piston which can be displaced axially in opposite directions from a central position and which has first fine control grooves for opening a connection between a load chamber and a feed chamber under control, and second fine control grooves for opening a connection between a load chamber and a discharge chamber of the piston bore under control. In its central position, there is a restricted relief connection from a load chamber to the discharge chamber via the control piston. The restricted relief connection is obtained in the known directional control valve by the second fine control grooves being lengthened to such an extent that they already project into the load chambers in the rest position of the control piston. The invention is based on the object of developing such a directional control valve in such a way that, even at the start of opening the first fine control grooves, precise control of the hydraulic load is possible, and that the effort for the design of the fine control grooves is reduced. This object is achieved by the relief connection existing via a recess in the control piston, independently of the second fine control grooves, and, in the event of displacement of the control piston with the effect of connecting the load chamber to the discharge chamber, by the relief connection being interrupted before the second fine control grooves open a flow cross section. Accordingly, the second fine control grooves no longer have anything to do with relieving a load chamber. Their design can therefore be based only on the dimensions necessary for the desired control of the hydraulic load. At a predefined maximum flow rate, the second fine control grooves of the control piston can be the same as those on a control piston for a directional control valve with a blocked central piston.
