Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of unloading valves, in particular to a large-flow unloading valve. Background Art
[0002] An unloading valve is a valve that can unload a hydraulic pump under certain conditions. It's typically a relief valve with a two-position, two-way valve (often a solenoid valve). Its function is to set the system (oil pump) main pressure when not unloading. When unloading (via the two-position, two-way valve), pressurized oil returns directly to the tank, reducing pump pressure to near zero. This allows for certain circuit controls, improves pump life, and reduces power consumption. In a circuit, a pressure reducing valve is integrated. It adjusts the pressure required by actuators and is connected in series within the circuit. Generally, these valves cannot be used interchangeably.
[0003] Traditional pressure relief valves are easily damaged when unloading high-pressure, large-flow equipment, which leads to a short service life of the pressure relief valve. In addition, the unloading response sensitivity and control accuracy of the existing unloading valves are poor, and the unloading response sensitivity cannot be adjusted, so improvement is needed.
