Abstract
A valve, especially a pressure control valve, includes a housing (10) with a pump connection (P), an appliance connection (A) and a tank connection (T). A piston (16) controlled by a magnet armature (26) is guided inside the housing (10) of the valve. The vavle is provided with a hydraulic damping device (34) having a damping chamber (36) in fluid communication with appliance connection (A) through a throttle (38). The pump connection (P) or the tank connection (T) is selectively joined to the appliance connection (A) via a connecting line (40) according to the position of the piston (16). This valve improves upon known control valves so that the control valve remains stable in terms of behavior, especially with regard to permanent oscilliations.
Claims7
A pressure control valve, comprising:
- a valve housing having a pump connection, an appliance connection and a tank connection;
- a valve piston movably mounted in said valve housing between a first position connecting said pump connection and said appliance connection in fluid communication and a second position connecting said tank connection with said appliance connection in fluid communication;
- a magneto inductor located in said housing and coupled to said valve piston to control movement and positioning thereof;
- and
- a hydraulic dampening device mounted in said housing having a dampening space in fluid communication with said appliance connection through a throttle, said throttle including a ring disk with a throttle point impeding fluid flow between said dampening space and said appliance connection and including an annular passage between said ring disk and adjacent parts of said valve housing surrounding said ring disk, said ring disk having hinge connecting points for connection to said valve housing, said annular passage being interrupted by said hinge connecting points and by application of a front of the ring disk to an interior of said valve housing.
