An improved fluid controller (15) is provided having both rotary valving (47) actuated by the steering wheel (17), and axial valving (49) controlled by an electro-hydraulic valve (113) in response to a correction signal (31). In one embodiment, both the rotary valving and the axial valving are achieved by a primary valve member (63) and a follow-up valve member (65), and both the rotary and axial valving can be actuated simultaneously. Also disclosed is a logic control system for closed-loop control of the electro-hydraulic valve, whereby performance problems such as self-steering wander, drift, and others are substantially eliminated.

A baffle plate between two opposing nozzles is mounted on a flexible carrier which is secured to the armature of an electromagnet so that energization of the electromagnet by control signals causes variations of the throttle gaps between the nozzles and the baffle plate which causes a pressure differential between the discharge conduits of the nozzles. The discharge conduits communicate with chambers of a control slide valve which responds to the pressure differential. The pole shoes of the electromagnet are adjustable toward and away from the armature, and the nozzles are adjustable toward and away from the baffle plate so that irregular tolerances and outer influences on the control system can be compensated.

A servovalve includes a fluid transfer valve assembly comprising a supply port and a control port and a moveable valve spool arranged to regulate flow of fluid from the supply port to the control port in response to a control signal. The servovalve also includes a jet pipe assembly configured to direct fluid to the ends of the spool to axially move the valve spool relative to the fluid transfer assembly in response to the control signal to regulate the fluid flow. The jet pipe assembly comprises a jet pipe a connector header fluidly connecting the jet pipe to a nozzle. The spool has one or more openings 28 is provided in the spool such that fluid from the supply port flows into the interior of the spool and into the jet pipe.

A control system for a fluid actuated control member is disclosed which uizes a pair of electrically controlled servo valves to control the supply of servo pressure fluid to a control valve piston. The pair of servo valves are electrically controlled such that, under normal conditions, one of the servo valves is operative to supply the servo pressure signal, while the other servo valve remains in an inert, open position. Upon the detection of a malfunction in the operative servo valve, electrical switches render the malfunctioning valve inert and transfer the operative capabilities to the second servo valve. The hydraulic control system does retain 100% of its performance capabilities following a malfunction of the initial servo valve.
摘要:
An electrohydraulic servo valve design is described having a pair of parallel-directed nozzles connected through conduits to a source of operating fluid under pressure with a load piston connected to the conduits such that its ends communicate with the pressure immediately upstream of the nozzles. A torque motor operates a flapper valve to restrict one nozzle and reduce the restriction of the other to vary the conduit pressure to create a control pressure differential across the load piston. Connected between each of the conduits and the fluid pressure source is a pair of orifices with a reed valve positioned therebetween and supported such that it responds to the control pressure differential to further restrict one of the pair of orifices while reducing the restriction of the other. In this manner, pressure in one conduit having the higher pressure is communicated to the reed valve which moves away from its corresponding orifice to permit the pressure in that one conduit to increase to a value even closer to the supply pressure than before. At the same time the pressure in the other conduit which was reduced is further reduced as the reed valve further restricts the area of its corresponding orifice. Thus, for a servo valve of a given size, the described pair of orifices and adjacent reed valve operate to substantially increase the pressure differential across the load for a given displacement of the flapper valve near null position.
