Hydraulic valve arrangement
View Patent ↗The invention concerns a hydraulic valve arrangement ( 1 ) with several valve modules ( 2 - 6 ), each having a supply channel arrangement with a high-pressure channel ( 7 ) and a low-pressure channel ( 8 ), a working connection arrangement with at least one working connection (A, B), a directional valve arrangement ( 15, 16 ) between the supply channel arrangement and the working connection arrangement and a compensation arrangement ( 19, 28 ). It is endeavoured to improve the control possibilities. For this purpose, it is provided that in at least one valve module ( 3, 5 ) the compensation arrangement is a pre-compensation arrangement ( 19 ) and in at least one other valve module ( 4, 6 ) the compensation arrangement is a post-compensation arrangement ( 28 ).
1. A hydraulic valve arrangement with several valve modules, each having a supply channel arrangement with a high-pressure channel and a low-pressure channel, a working connection arrangement with at least one working connection, a directional valve arrangement between the supply channel arrangement and the working connection arrangement and a compensation arrangement, wherein in at least one valve module the compensation arrangement is a pre-compensation arrangement and in at least one other valve module the compensation arrangement is a post-compensation arrangement.
2. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the post-compensation arrangement has a closing spring and the pre-compensation arrangement has an opening spring, the closing spring being weaker than the opening spring.
3. The valve arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the opening spring generates a control force, which is smaller than a pressure force during idling, which acts against the opening spring.
4. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein in the valve module with the pre-compensation arrangement, the compensation arrangement is located in a pipe that extends from an outlet to an inlet of the directional valve arrangement.
5. The valve arrangement according to claim 4 , wherein both the pre-compensation arrangement and the post-compensation arrangement are located in pipes extending from an outlet to an inlet of the directional valve arrangement.
6. The valve arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the compensation arrangements are located in the same position in both valve modules with pre-compensation arrangements and in valve modules with post-compensation arrangements.
7. The valve arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein both the valve module with pre-compensation arrangement and the valve module with post-compensation arrangement have similar valve housings and that a spring of the pre-compensation arrangement is located at a different side of a slide than a spring of the post-compensation arrangement.
