A control valve includes a signal pressure passage that transmits a pilot pressure of first and second pilot chambers as a signal pressure of another device, a connecting groove that is formed in a spool and connects the first pilot chamber to the signal pressure passage when the spool is in a neutral position, a connecting hole that is formed in the spool and connects the second pilot chamber to the signal pressure passage, and a check valve that is interposed in the connecting hole and permits a flow only from the second pilot chamber to the signal pressure passage. The connecting groove connects the first pilot chamber to the signal pressure passage when the pilot pressure is led into the first pilot chamber, and blocks communication between the first pilot chamber and the signal pressure passage when the pilot pressure is led into the second pilot chamber.
1. A control valve including a spool that is incorporated into a valve main body to be free to slide, and a first pilot chamber and a second pilot chamber disposed to face respective ends of the spool, wherein the spool is moved by an action of a pilot pressure led into one of the first pilot chamber and the second pilot chamber, the control valve comprising:
a signal pressure passage that is formed in the valve main body and transmits the pilot pressure in the first pilot chamber or the second pilot chamber as a signal pressure of another device;
a connecting groove that is formed in the spool and connects the first pilot chamber to the signal pressure passage when the spool is in a neutral position;
a connecting hole that is formed in the spool and connects the second pilot chamber to the signal pressure passage; and
a check valve that is interposed in the connecting hole and permits a flow only from the second pilot chamber to the signal pressure passage,
wherein the connecting groove connects the first pilot chamber to the signal pressure passage when the pilot pressure is led into the first pilot chamber such that the spool is moved, and blocks communication between the first pilot chamber and the signal pressure passage when the pilot pressure is led into the second pilot chamber such that the spool is moved.
