This invention relates to a
pilot valve, comprising a valve body, a valve cover, a
pilot valve seat, a mechanical iris mechanism, an adjusting
assembly, and a sealing
assembly. The mechanical iris mechanism includes a grooved wheel, a slide rail, a flat key, a rotating shaft, an opening screw, a
pilot valve cone core, and two sets of sliders. The adjusting
assembly includes an adjusting nut, an adjusting rod, a first-position spring, and a second-position spring. In the first position, the pre-compression of the first-position spring is adjusted by the adjusting nut in the adjusting assembly, thereby setting the set pressure. In the second position, after the
pilot valve resets, rotating the opening screw causes the rotating shaft to rotate, causing the two sets of sliders to extend outwards. The extended parts of the sliders abut against the lower end of the second-position spring in the adjusting assembly. At this time, the set pressure is determined by the pre-compression of the first and second-position springs, realizing multi-position pressure setting of the
pilot valve. This invention applies a mechanical iris mechanism to the
pilot valve structure, effectively expanding the set
pressure range of the pilot valve, allowing the pilot valve to be applied to hydraulic systems of different pressure levels.
