Abstract

The invention concerns a hydraulic valve arrangement ( 1 ) with a supply connection arrangement comprising a high-pressure connection (P) and a low-pressure connection (T), a working connection arrangement comprising two working connections (A, B), which can be connected to a motor ( 4 ), a directional valve arrangement ( 5 ) located between the supply connection arrangement (P, T) and the working connection arrangement (A, B), and a compensation valve ( 15 ) acted upon in a first activation direction by a pressure in a first pressure chamber ( 33 ), which is connected to a load-sensing pipe (LS), and, if required, by a spring ( 32 ), and in a second activation direction opposite to the first activation direction by a pressure downstream of the directional valve arrangement ( 5 ), said pressure acting in a second pressure chamber ( 34 ), the compensation valve ( 15 ) having an inlet ( 14 ) and an outlet ( 19 ). In connection with a post-compensated valve, it is endeavored to adjust the load pressures at the working connections (A, B) in dependence of the direction. For this purpose, each working connection (A, B) is connected to a control system, which amplifies the effect of the pressure in the first pressure chamber ( 33 ) on the compensation valve ( 15 ) in dependence of a pressure ruling at the working connection (A, B).

Claims (13)

1. A hydraulic valve arrangement with a supply connection arrangement comprising a high-pressure connection and a low-pressure connection, a working connection arrangement comprising two working connections, which is connected to a motor, a directional valve arrangement located between the supply connection arrangement and the working connection arrangement, and a compensation valve acted upon in a first activation direction by a pressure in a first pressure chamber, which is connected to a load-sensing pipe, and in a second activation direction opposite to the first activation direction by a pressure downstream of the directional valve arrangement, said pressure downstream acting in a second pressure chamber, the compensation valve having an inlet and an outlet, wherein each working connection is connected to a control system, which amplifies the effect of the pressure in the first pressure chamber on the compensation valve in dependence of a pressure ruling at the working connection;

wherein the control system pressure-relieves the second pressure chamber.

2. The valve arrangement in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the control system has a relief valve for each working connection.

3. The valve arrangement in accordance with claim 2 , wherein a throttle is located between the second pressure chamber and the directional valve arrangement, and the relief valve is connected between the throttle and the second pressure chamber.

4. The valve arrangement in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the relief valve has an adjustable opening pressure.

5. The valve arrangement in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the relief valve is located between the second pressure chamber and the low-pressure connection.

6. A hydraulic valve arrangement with a supply connection arrangement comprising a high-pressure connection and a low-pressure connection, a working connection arrangement comprising two working connections, which is connected to a motor, a directional valve arrangement located between the supply connection arrangement and the working connection arrangement, and a compensation valve acted upon in a first activation direction by a pressure in a first pressure chamber, which is connected to a load-sensing pipe, and in a second activation direction opposite to the first activation direction by a pressure downstream of the directional valve arrangement, said pressure downstream acting in a second pressure chamber, the compensation valve having an inlet and an outlet, wherein each working connection is connected to a control system, which amplifies the effect of the pressure in the first pressure chamber on the compensation valve in dependence of a pressure ruling at the working connection;

wherein the outlet of the compensation valve is connected to the second pressure chamber via a non-return valve and a second throttle, the non-return valve opening in the direction of the second pressure chamber.

7. A hydraulic valve arrangement with a supply connection arrangement comprising a high-pressure connection and a low-pressure connection, a working connection arrangement comprising two working connections, which is connected to a motor, a directional valve arrangement located between the supply connection arrangement and the working connection arrangement, and a compensation valve acted upon in a first activation direction by a pressure in a first pressure chamber, which is connected to a load-sensing pipe, and in a second activation direction opposite to the first activation direction by a pressure downstream of the directional valve arrangement, said pressure downstream acting in a second pressure chamber, the compensation valve having an inlet and an outlet, wherein each working connection is connected to a control system, which amplifies the effect of the pressure in the first pressure chamber on the compensation valve in dependence of a pressure ruling at the working connection;

wherein the outlet of the compensation valve is connected to the directional valve arrangement via a second non-return valve that opens in the direction of the directional valve arrangement.

8. The valve arrangement in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first pressure chamber is connected to a spring.

9. A hydraulic valve arrangement with a supply connection arrangement comprising a high-pressure connection and a low-pressure connection, a working connection arrangement comprising two working connections, which is connected to a motor, a directional valve arrangement located between the supply connection arrangement and the working connection arrangement, and a compensation valve acted upon in a first activation direction by a pressure in a first pressure chamber, which is connected to a load-sensing pipe, and in a second activation direction opposite to the first activation direction by a pressure downstream of the directional valve arrangement, the pressure downstream acting in a second pressure chamber, the compensation valve having an inlet and an outlet, wherein each working connection is connected to a control system, which amplifies the effect of the pressure in the first pressure chamber on the compensation valve in dependence of a pressure ruling at the working connection, wherein the control system pressure-relieves the second pressure chamber.

10. A hydraulic valve arrangement with a supply connection arrangement comprising a high-pressure connection and a low-pressure connection, a working connection arrangement comprising two working connections, which is connected to a motor, a directional valve arrangement located between the supply connection arrangement and the working connection arrangement, and a compensation valve acted upon in a first activation direction by a pressure in a first pressure chamber, which is connected to a load-sensing pipe, and in a second activation direction opposite to the first activation direction by a pressure downstream of the directional valve arrangement, the pressure downstream acting in a second pressure chamber, the compensation valve having an inlet and an outlet, wherein each working connection is connected to a control system, which amplifies the effect of the pressure in the first pressure chamber on the compensation valve in dependence of a pressure ruling at the working connection, wherein the outlet of the compensation valve is connected to the directional valve arrangement via a second non-return valve that opens in the direction of the directional valve arrangement.
