摘要:
A double valve includes a first unitary valve assembly and a second unitary valve assembly. Each unitary valve assembly includes a first outlet port, a second outlet port, and a spool. A first pilot assembly and a second pilot assembly are coupled to the first unitary valve assembly and the second unitary valve assembly, respectively. A plate is coupled to the unitary valve assemblies and includes a passage to provide a first common outlet passage that is coupled to the respective first outlet ports of the unitary valve assemblies and a second common outlet passage that is coupled to the respective second outlet ports of the unitary valve assemblies. When the spools are in a first position, fluid flows through the first common outlet passage, and when the spools are in a second position, the fluid flows through the second common outlet passage.

A valve assembly includes a valve including an inlet and an outlet, and a soft start valve in a normally closed position and located upstream of the valve. The soft start valve opens when a percentage of an outlet pressure at the outlet of the valve to an inlet pressure of the inlet of the valve reaches a predetermined percentage to allow fluid to flow through the soft start valve to the valve.

摘要:
A control valve apparatus couples pressurized fluid to first and second actuators using first and second double valves (30,31). The first double valve (30) includes first and second crossover passages (70,71) and first and second pilots (34,36). The second double valve (31) includes third and fourth crossover passages (72,73) and third and fourth pilots (67,50). A first interconnection (55) couples the first crossover passage (70) with the third pilot fluid inlet (47). A second interconnection (56) couples the second crossover passage (71) with the fourth pilot fluid inlet (50). A third interconnection (57) couples the third crossover passage (72) with the first pilot fluid inlet (34). A fourth interconnection (58) couples the fourth crossover passage (73) with the second pilot fluid inlet (36). Thus, operation of each pilot depends upon receiving pressurized fluid from the other double valve which is only present when the other double valve is not in a fault condition.

A system for selectively controlling movement of a piston between first and second positions, the system comprising a controller (24) selectively actuated to enable fluid communication between a device (20) and a source of pressurized fluid, a control valve for enabling fluid communication between a control system and the source of pressurized fluid, a sensing system (55) for identifying the first and second positions, a monitoring valve (70) selectively actuated by the at least one sensing valve (56,58) for exhausting the flow of pressurized fluid, wherein the monitoring actuator remains actuated until the control valve is deactuated, and a latching mechanism (149) selectively capable of engaging the piston when a loss of pressurized fluid has been identified.
摘要:
A double valve (10) is constructed from first (11) and second (12) unitary valve assemblies each having a respective inlet port (22,27), a respective outlet port (23,28), a respective exhaust port (26,32), a respective first cross-mirror port (24,30), and a respective second cross-mirror port (25,31). A first plate (17) is coupled to the first and second unitary valve assemblies and includes respective passages to provide a common inlet port coupled to the respective inlet ports of the first and second unitary valve assemblies, a common outlet port coupled to the respective outlet ports of the first and second unitary valve assemblies, and a common exhaust port coupled to the respective exhaust ports of the first and second unitary valve assemblies. A second plate (18) is coupled to the first and second unitary valve assemblies providing a first cross-connection between the first cross-mirror port of the first unitary valve body and the second cross-mirror port of the second unitary valve body, and providing a second cross-connection between the second cross-mirror port of the first unitary valve body and the first cross-mirror port of the second unitary valve body.
摘要:
A pneumatic control system is provided for selectively controlling movement of a pneumatically-operated device (20) between first and second working positions. The pneumatically-operated device (20) includes a working portion (30) and a pneumatic-control portion (32). The pneumatic-control portion (32) is in fluid communication with a pressurized fluid source (26) and includes a series of valves (64,66,70) for selectively manipulating the working portion (30) between the first and second working positions. The pneumatic-control portion (32) further includes a sensing system (56,58) for holding the working portion (30) in a static mode by selectively applying system pressure to the working portion (30). In this manner, a more energy efficient system is provided by eliminating the need for continuous application of full line pressure.
