[0002] A relief valve is a pressure control valve, which mainly plays safety protection roles such as constant pressure overflow, voltage stabilization, and system unloading in hydraulic equipment. In the hydraulic system of construction machinery, the relief valve is crucial for system pressure limitation and safety protection. At present, a fixed pressure is set when engineering machinery equipment leaves the factory, which can meet the use requirements of general working conditions.
[0003] In the prior art, in order to improve the applicability of the relief valve, the relief valve often has an adjustment structure. For example, the document with the application number CN202121055854.1 discloses an adjustable relief valve, which includes a valve body and a valve core. An oil inlet and an oil outlet are formed on the valve body, and the valve core is slidably assembled in the valve body. In the initial state, under the action of an elastic member, the valve core abuts against the inner wall of the valve body, blocking the oil inlet and the oil outlet; when the acting force of the pressure oil entering the oil inlet on the valve core is greater than the acting force of the elastic member on the valve core, the valve core slides along the valve body, and the oil inlet and the oil outlet are communicated, and the pressure oil entering from the oil inlet exits through the oil outlet. A pressure regulating member is assembled at the open end of the valve body. The pressure regulating member is slidably assembled on the valve body, one end of the pressure regulating member extends into the valve cavity of the valve body, the other end of the pressure regulating member is located outside the valve body, a control cavity is formed between the inner end of the pressure regulating member and the valve core, and a control oil port is also opened on the outer end of the pressure regulating member, and the control oil port is communicated with the control cavity.

The control oil port is connected with control oil, and an oil hole is formed on the partition to communicate the control oil port and the control cavity.
[0004] The above-mentioned relief valve can achieve adjustable pressure, but in the non-boost state, the piston will be affected by the pressure of the oil outlet, resulting in pressure fluctuations of the pressure oil. Summary of the Utility Model

[0014] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the channel is arranged on the circumferential wall of the piston, and the check valve is arranged on the bottom surface of the piston.
[0015] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a flow-through hole with a changing inner diameter is formed on the bottom surface of the piston. The check valve includes a valve ball and a second elastic member. The valve ball is assembled in the flow-through hole, and the second elastic member acts on the valve ball.

At the same time, it should be understood that, for the sake of convenience of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn in actual proportional relationships.

In all the examples shown and discussed here, any specific value should be construed as merely exemplary and not as a limitation. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that: like reference numerals and letters denote like items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0032] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationships indicated by orientation words such as "front, rear, upper, lower, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal", and "top, bottom" are generally based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description.

[0035] As Figures 1-5 shown, this embodiment provides a relief valve, which includes a valve body 1 and a valve core 2. An oil inlet 11 and an oil outlet 12 are provided on the valve body 1. In the initial state, the valve core 2 is pressed against the inner circumferential surface of the valve body 1 under the action of a first elastic member 3, blocking the communication between the oil inlet 11 and the oil outlet 12. When the acting force of the pressure oil at the oil inlet 11 on the valve core 2 is greater than the acting force of the first elastic member 3 on the valve core 2, the valve core 2 can be pushed to slide open, and the oil inlet 11 and the oil outlet 12 are communicated. The pressure oil entering from the oil inlet 11 can flow out through the oil outlet 12, avoiding excessive system pressure.
[0036] The valve body 1 has a hollow structure. An installation hole with one end open is formed inside the valve body 1. The oil inlet 11 and the oil outlet 12 are provided at one end of the valve body 1 far away from the opening. The oil inlet 11 can be provided as multiple ones, and the multiple oil inlets 11 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. The oil outlet 12 can also be provided as multiple ones, and the multiple oil outlets 12 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction. Preferably, the oil inlet 11 can be provided as an inclined port, and a tapered wall is formed on the inner wall of the valve body 1 between the oil inlet 11 and the oil outlet 12. The valve core 2 can be pressed against the tapered wall under the action of the first elastic member 3 to form a seal, blocking the communication between the oil inlet 11 and the oil outlet 12.
[0037] The spool 2 is a split structure. The spool 2 includes a spool body 21 and a piston 22. The spool body 21 and the piston 22 are slidably assembled. The piston 22 has an open-ended structure at one end. An insertion portion is formed at the end of the spool body 21 and can be slidably inserted into the opening of the piston 22. A limiting surface is formed on the spool body 21 near the insertion portion, and the piston 22 can abut against the limiting surface to limit the relative position between the spool body 21 and the piston 22.
[0038] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the piston 22 is located between the spool body 21 and the first elastic member 3. The spool body 21 is disposed near the oil inlet 11 and the oil outlet 12. Under the action of the first elastic member 3, the spool body 21 abuts against the inner wall of the valve body 1 to block the oil inlet 11 and the oil outlet 12.
[0039] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, an inner cavity 221 is formed between the spool body 21 and the piston 22. A channel 222 is formed on the circumferential wall of the spool body 21. The channel 222 communicates with the inner cavity 221. The oil outlet 12 can communicate with the channel 222 through the gap between the piston 22 and the valve body 1.
[0040] A check valve 4 is provided on the bottom surface of the piston 22. The oil in the inner cavity 221 can flow unidirectionally through the check valve 4 into the cavity 51 where the first elastic member 3 is located. In a non-pressurized state, the oil at the oil outlet 12 can enter the inner cavity 221 through the channel 222, and then enter the cavity 51 where the first elastic member 3 is located through the check valve 4. The hydraulic pressure acting on the piston 22 is in a balanced state and no pressure fluctuation will occur.
[0041] Specifically, a flow hole 223 is provided on the bottom surface of the piston 22. The flow hole 223 is a through hole with a variable inner diameter. The check valve 4 includes a valve ball 41 and a second elastic member 42. The valve ball 41 is installed in the flow hole 223, and the second elastic member 42 acts on the valve ball 41.
[0042] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the second elastic member 42 can be a circlip.
[0043] To achieve pressure regulation, the relief valve of this embodiment further includes an adjusting member 5. The adjusting member 5 is assembled on the valve body 1 with an adjustable position. The two ends of the first elastic member 3 act on the piston 22 and the adjusting member 5 respectively, and the pressure regulation can be achieved by adjusting the position of the adjusting member 5 on the valve body 1.
[0044] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the adjusting member 5 is a hollow structure. One end of the piston 22 away from the spool body 21 can extend into the adjusting member 5 and slide. A cavity 51 is formed between the piston 22 and the adjusting member 5, and the first elastic member 3 is accommodated in the cavity 51.
[0045] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the adjusting member 5 can be threadedly assembled on the valve body 1. The opening of the valve body 1 is provided with internal threads, and external threads are distributed on the adjusting member 5, enabling threaded assembly. After the adjusting member 5 is screwed into the valve body 1, it can be locked by the locking member 6. The locking member 6 can be, but is not limited to, a lock nut.
[0046] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, in order to achieve diversity in pressure regulation, a control oil port 52 is formed at the outer end of the adjusting member 5 extending out of the valve body 1, through which control oil can be introduced. The control oil enters the cavity 51 through the control oil port 52 and acts on the piston 22, thereby achieving the pressure regulation function.
[0047] For the overflow valve of this embodiment, when there is no pressure increase, the force exerted by the oil pressure at the oil outlet 12 on the piston 22 is balanced, and thus no pressure fluctuation will be caused, enabling accurate overflow.
[0048] The above has described in detail the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those of ordinary skill in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
