PCT No. PCT/US79/00968 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 8, 1979 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 8, 1979, PCT Filed Nov. 8, 1979 An improved load resolver (41) is provided of the type which receives a pair of generally unequal pressure signals (32, 34), and which resolves the pair of pressure signals (32, 34) by blocking the lesser and transmitting the greater. Each pressure signal (32, 34) is sent to the load resolver (41) by a respective control valve (18, 20) in a hydraulic system (10). Prior load resolver structures have required angled or intersecting holes therein or special porting therearound. The improved load resolver (41) comprises a first member (58) having a first, axially extending hole (64) and a second member (72) having second and third axially extending holes (78, 104). The members (58, 72) are fitted within a bore (48) of a control valve body (19). The improved load resolver may be utilized in a load resolver system (114) having stackable control valve bodies (17, 19, 21) without the need of special porting therebetween.
In a load resolver (41) of the type which receives a pair of generally unequal pressure signals (32, 34) in a chamber (42), said chamber (42) having means (44) for blocking the lesser of said signals (32, 34), an improvement comprising:
In a load resolver (41) of the type which receives a pair of generally unequal pressure signals (32, 34) in a chamber (42), said chamber (42) having means (44) for blocking the lesser of said signals (32, 34) an improvement comprising:
In a load resolver system (114) of the type which receives a plurality of generally unequal pressure signals (34, 32, 30) a pair (34, 32) of said pressure signals (34, 32, 30) being received in one (42) of a plurality of chambers (42, 42'), another pair (34, 30 or 32, 30) of said pressure signals (34, 32, 30) being received in the other (42') of said chambers (42, 42'), said chambers (42, 42') having means (44, 44') for blocking the lesser signal of said paired signals (34, 32;
