Hydraulic valve device with multiple working sections with pump control system with by-pass line
Modular directional valve with two or more crossing elements (E 1 . . . En) able, acting only on the entry side, to manage a variable displacement pump (PA) of the load sensing type. In particular, this management allows in a single drive, unlike the conventional crossing distributors, to make the flow rate to the utility independent of the load and allows setting a maximum flow rate at the end of the stroke; in multiple drives, it ensures that the sum of the required flow rates is independent of the loads. A compensated flow rate regulator is placed in the entry side so as to act only on the bypass line LC upstream of the first element (E 1 . . . En) while a proportional choke is placed on the load line consisting of a 2-way 2-position tray.
1. A modular directional valve device, with one or more elements and for the management of a load-sensing variable displacement pump, each element including spools configured to control the drive to relative utilities, the modular directional valve device being arranged for a connection to the load-sensing variable displacement pump a supply line, which is divided into at least two channels, of which:
a. a bypass line which, with the spools in central position, crosses all the elements and then connects to a tank through an independent connection,
b. a load line which, with spools in central position, is a closed line,
said modular directional valve device comprising, on the bypass line only and upstream of a first element of the one or more elements, a flow rate regulator group comprising at least one piloted spool and a choke, a control signal being connected to said flow rate regulator group acting on a proportional variable choke along said supply line or along said load line and wherein a load-sensing signal (LS) along said load line downstream of said choke reaches the load-sensing variable displacement pump.
2. The modular directional valve device according to claim 1 , comprising a second choke along the control signal and a relief valve on the same control signal downstream of said second choke, the relief valve being calibrated at a pressure that brings the second choke to a maximum aperture which corresponds to a maximum displacement of the load-sensing variable displacement pump.
3. The modular directional valve device according to claim 1 , wherein said flow rate regulator group is comprised in an entry side of the device.
