This invention belongs to the field of fluid transmission control and relates to an integrated
cartridge-type multi-way valve specifically for
pipe jacking machines. It includes a
safety control valve
assembly, a
machine head rotation control valve
assembly, a main jacking advance / retreat control valve
assembly, a pressurization and flow merging direction control valve assembly, a
machine head and main jacking pressurization and flow merging valve assembly, and a correction /
relay control valve assembly. Each assembly has approximately the same dimensions and uses
cartridge valves to control direction and flow. The
cartridge valves employ valve core feedback closed-
loop control to improve control accuracy. The
pilot oil
route for the cartridge valves is provided by a small-
diameter three-position four-way
directional valve. All assemblies are connected together by sealing rings and long bolts. This invention, by highly integrating the functions of various execution parts of the
pipe jacking
machine and using cartridge valves as the main valve core control, solves the problems of pipeline accumulation and low control accuracy in the pump
station of
pipe jacking machines. This significantly improves the construction efficiency of the pipe jacking machine, reduces
power loss, makes operation more convenient, and is more suitable for construction in various geological formations.
