[0025] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this utility model discloses a simple electro-hydraulic control valve, including a valve body 1 and a valve core 2. A valve cavity 11 is formed inside the valve body 1, and the valve core 2 is slidably disposed within the valve cavity 11. An oil inlet hole 12 and a return hole 13 are formed on the lower side of the valve body 1, leading into the valve cavity 11. A secondary return hole 14 is also formed on the valve body 1, connecting the valve cavity 11 to the return hole 13. The oil inlet hole 12 is located between the return hole 13 and the secondary return hole 14. Additionally, an oil passage hole A15 and an oil passage hole B16 are formed on the upper side of the valve body 1, leading into the valve cavity 11. The oil passage hole A15 is located between the return hole 13 and the oil inlet hole 12, and the oil passage hole B16 is located between the secondary return hole 14 and the oil inlet hole 12. Two sealing rings 21 are fixedly connected to the valve core 2. The sealing rings 21 are used for... The valve core 2 forms a sealed contact with the inner wall of the valve cavity 11. When the valve core 2 slides left and right, it drives the sealing ring 21 to move in the valve cavity 11. The sealing ring 21 changes the connection between the oil inlet hole 12 and the oil passage hole A15 or the oil passage hole B16, thereby switching the flow direction of the liquid. In this utility model, the valve body 1 has a control chamber 17 on the left side of the valve cavity 11. The valve core 2 is connected to a control rod 22 that extends into the control chamber 17. The valve body 1 has an electric drive mechanism for driving the control rod 22 to slide left and right. The electric drive mechanism is specifically an electric cylinder 4, which is detachably connected to the control rod 22. In addition, a manual lever 3 is also connected to the control rod 22. The valve body 1 has a lever through groove 18 on the upper side of the control chamber 17. The upper end of the manual lever 3 passes through the lever through groove 18.

[0026] The specific structure of the manual lever 3 is as follows: a connecting slot 23 is provided on the left end of the control lever 22, the middle part of the manual lever 3 is rotatably connected in the connecting slot 23, and the lower end of the manual lever 3 is rotatably connected to the lower side wall of the control cavity 17.

[0027] To help users understand the position of the valve core 2, a position reference line 31 is provided on the manual lever 3, and a valve status mark 6 is provided on one side of the lever through groove 18 on the valve body 1. The valve status mark 6 is specifically A, OFF, and B, where A and B are located on the left and right sides respectively, and OFF is located in the middle.

[0028] The specific structure of the detachable connection between the electric cylinder 4 and the control lever 22 is as follows: an iron-nickel alloy block 41 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the electric cylinder 4, and an electromagnet 5 is fixedly connected to the left end of the control lever 22. In addition, a wiring port 19 is provided in the middle of the control chamber 17 of the valve body 1. A power plug 51 is provided on the wiring port 19, and a wire 52 connected to the electromagnet 5 is provided on the power plug 51.

[0029] This utility model is used to connect the oil tank and the hydraulic system. When using electric control, the electromagnet 5 is energized, connecting the control lever 22 to the electric cylinder 4. Therefore, the electric cylinder 4 can directly control the valve core 2 to move left and right via the control lever 22. When manual control is required, the electromagnet 5 is de-energized, and the output shaft of the electric cylinder 4 moves to the leftmost position. At this time, directly moving the manual lever 3 allows the control lever 22 to slide left and right. When the control lever 22 is moved, it synchronously drives the valve core 2 to move left and right. When the manual lever 3 is moved to the left, so that the position reference line 31 on the manual lever 3 corresponds to A on the valve status mark 6, ... Figure 5 As shown, the two sealing rings 21 on the valve core 2 are located between the return oil hole 13 and the through oil hole A15, and between the through oil hole B16 and the inlet oil hole 12, respectively. At this time, the inlet oil hole 12 is connected to the through oil hole A15, and the through oil hole B16 is connected to the auxiliary return oil hole 14. The oil in the reservoir enters from the inlet oil hole 12, reaches the valve cavity 11, and then enters the hydraulic system from the through oil hole A15. The oil in the hydraulic system enters the valve cavity 11 from the through oil hole B16, then enters the auxiliary return oil hole 14, and leaves from the return oil hole 13 back to the reservoir. When the manual lever 3 is moved to OFF, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, at this time, the two sealing rings 21 on the valve core 2 are located at the positions of oil passage A15 and oil passage B16 respectively, blocking oil passage A15 and oil passage B16. When the manual lever 3 is moved to the rightmost position, so that the position reference line 31 on the manual lever 3 corresponds to B on the valve status mark 6, as shown... Figure 7 As shown, the two sealing rings 21 on the core are located between the oil passage hole A15 and the oil inlet hole 12, and between the oil passage hole B16 and the auxiliary oil return hole 14, respectively. At this time, the oil inlet hole and the oil passage hole B16 are connected, and the oil return hole 13 is connected to the oil passage hole A15.
