This application is the National Phase application of International Application No. PCT/KR2011/005089 filed on Jul. 12, 2011, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to a flow control valve for a construction machine. More particularly, the present invention relates to a flow control valve for a construction machine, which can limit a part of hydraulic fluid that is supplied to a working device side by a spool of a priority valve that is shifted simultaneously or release the limiting function through shifting of the priority valve to a neutral position by pilot signal pressure that is separately applied according to a type of work when a combined operation for simultaneously operating a working device, such as an arm, and a swing device is performed.
Generally, in a hydraulic system that is applied to a construction machine, such as an excavator, a plurality of hydraulic pumps are connected to an engine. A left traveling device (TL) and a working device, such as a boom or a bucket, are connected to one of the hydraulic pumps, and a right traveling device (TR), a working device, such as an arm, an option device, and a swing device are connected to the other of the hydraulic pumps.
The above objects, other features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent by describing the preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a flow control valve for a construction machine in the related art; and
FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a flow control valve for a construction machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.
