Abstract
The control device is adapted to be inserted between the control valves of a pilot device and the pressure-medium consumers (hydraulic prop and hydraulic working cylinder) in an hydraulic self-advancing mine-roof support and is connected to a pressure-medium line and to a return line. The control device comprises a valve block with continuous longitudinal bores for connection to a multiple tubing line leading to the pilot device, the valve block having bores for receiving piloted 3/2-way valves and bores for connection to the directly-controlled working cylinders of the mine-roof support.
Claims6
A control device for an hydraulic self-advancing mine-roof support, comprising a connection for a pressure-medium line, a connection for a return line, and connections for pressure-medium consumers of the mine-roof support, the pressure-medium consumers including at least one consumer using a small amount of pressure medium per unit time and at least one consumer using a large amount of pressure medium, wherein a multiple tubing line connects the control device to piloted control valves of a pilot device whereby the pressure-medium consumer(s) using a small amount of pressure medium per unit time is directly actuated by the control valves of the pilot device via the multiple tubing line whereas the pressure-medium consumer(s) using a large amount of pressure medium is indirectly supplied with pressure medium via piloted directional-control valves for actuation by the control valves via the multiple tubing line, the multiple tubing line being connected to a valve block in which the piloted directional-control valves are disposed, and the pressure-medium consumer(s) needing a small amount of pressure medium being directly connected to the associated connections of the multiple tubing line via bores extending through the valve block.
