摘要:
A valve for controlling flow of hydraulic fluid. The valve includes a valve sleeve (82) and a valve core (80). The core (80) is disposed within the sleeve (82). The core (80) and sleeve (82) are relatively rotatable. Each of said core (80) and sleeve (82) has an axially extending land (192,220) and an axially extending groove (110,122). The core (80) and sleeve (82) have relative rotational positions such that the lands (192,220) overlap to define a flow gap for flow of hydraulic fluid from the groove (110) in the sleeve (82) to the groove (122) in the core (80). The flow gap has a minimum cross-sectional flow area adjacent to the groove (122) in the core (80). The minimum cross-sectional flow area constantly varies as the core (80) and sleeve (82) relatively rotate. The land (192) on the sleeve (82) has a notch (202) immediately adjacent to, and downstream of the minimum cross-sectional flow area which provides an abrupt increase in cross-sectional flow area for suppressing valve noise due to cavitation.
摘要:
A valve for controlling flow of hydraulic fluid. The valve includes a valve sleeve (82) and a valve core (80). The core (80) is disposed within the sleeve (82). The core (80) and sleeve (82) are relatively rotatable. The sleeve (82) has grooves (98,110) connected to a utilization device. The core (80) has grooves (116,122) connected to a fluid supply and reservoir. The core (80) and sleeve (82) have lands (200,212,240,260) which radially overlap during relative rotation of said core (80) and sleeve (82) to restrict fluid flow from a portion of the grooves (98,110) in the sleeve (82) to the grooves (122) in the core (80) connected to the reservoir. The lands (212) on the sleeve (82) have chamfered end faces (220,222) with tapered segments.
摘要:
A valve (10) for controlling flow of hydraulic fluid. The valve (10) has first and second valve members (80, 82) which have a plurality of lands and grooves. The valve members (80, 82) are relatively movable from a neutral position to a displaced position in which surface segments (202, 226, 208, 218) of respective pairs of lands overlap to form flow gaps (232, 234) for restricting flow of fluid between respective pairs of grooves. At least one (234) of the flow gaps is divergent by having a cross-sectional flow area which increases along a direction of fluid flow and at least one (232) of the flow gaps is convergent by having a cross-sectional flow area which decreases along a direction of fluid flow. The flow gaps (232, 234) have minimum cross-sectional flow areas (A, B) defined by the surface segments. The flow gaps (232, 234) are sized such that the minimum cross-sectional flow area (A) of the convergent flow gap (232) is larger than the minimum cross-sectional flow area (B) of the divergent flow gap (234) for suppressing valve noise.
