Patent number: 7028976Abstract: A closing body is mounted in an axially displaceable manner in a bore of a fluidic valve to control a pressure medium flowing via the valve. The closing body has a sealing section, interacting with a seating edge of valve, and a guide section which serves to guide the valve cone in the bore. The guide section is provided with recesses which allow an overflow of pressure medium between the two sides of the closing body. To reduce costs of production, the guide section of the closing body is of cylindrical form and its surface is provided with at least one helical groove which leads from one side of the guide section to its other side. The closing body is useful in particular in constant pressure valves for controlling fluid pressure medium. The sealing section of the closing body is normally of conical form.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2002Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Bosch Rexroth AGInventors: Peter Bachmann, Uwe Künzinger, Holger Mühlhoff, Hans Wölfges

Patent number: 6843508Abstract: A hydraulic device having a nut part with a threaded hole which has an internal screw thread with a defined nominal diameter and with a defined, uniform pitch, and having a screw part which has an external screw thread with the same nominal diameter as the threaded hole and with a defined, uniform pitch, which is screwed into the threaded hole. (In hydraulic devices, screw parts, in particular nozzle bodies, are generally adhesively bonded in place, in order to prevent them from becoming detached. Adhesive bonding has certain drawbacks, since the screw threads have to be free of grease, and in the case of nozzles there is a risk of blockages, adhesive can enter the hydraulic circuit and also process reliability is not ensured during application.) There is provided a slight difference between the pitch of the internal screw thread of the nut part and the pitch of the external screw thread of the screw part.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2001Date of Patent: January 18, 2005Assignee: Bosch Rexroth AGInventors: Karl Cords, Frank Hofmann, Peter Lauer, Götz-Dieter Machat, Karl Meyer, Konrad Schneider, Hans Wölfges

The closing body is mounted in an axially displaceable manner in a bore of the valve. It has a sealing section, interacting with a seating edge of the valve, and a guide section which serves to guide the valve cone in the bore. The guide section is provided with recesses which allow an overflow of pressure medium between the two sides of the closing body. The production of such closing bodies is expensive. In order to produce such closing bodies in a more cost-effective manner, the guide section of the closing body is of cylindrical form and its surface is provided with at least one helical groove which leads from the one side of the guide section to its other side.

Patent number: 4938118Abstract: A 3/2 proportional control valve is provided with an actuating piston which is subjected to the control pressure set in a pilot valve. The area relationships of the actuating piston are so chosen that at the actuating piston a high pressure gradient obtains and the adjustment dynamics of the regulating piston are increased.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1989Date of Patent: July 3, 1990Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventors: Hans Wolfges, Wolfgang Volpert

Patent number: 4809746Abstract: A proportional throttle valve which varies the throttle cross-sectional area in dependence upon a control signal and thus governs the flow rate. The invention relates to a throttle valve in which the position of the valve member remains constant independent of pressure fluctuations upstream and downstream of the throttle cross-section. For this purpose the pressure acts on equisized opposing faces of the valve member. An annular face of equal magnitude lying opposite the control face is subjected to the pressure in a line leading from the pressure-limiting valve for setting the control pressure to the tank so that pressure fluctuations in this tank line cause corresponding variations of the control pressure and the position of the valve member remains constant.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1986Date of Patent: March 7, 1989Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventor: Hans Wolfges

Patent number: 4590968Abstract: The invention refers to a pressure reducing valve including a pilot valve. The main piston of the pressure reducing valve allows to selectively connect a load port to either a port connected to a pressure source or to a port connected to the reservoir. The pilot valve is connected to a control pressure line and to the reservoir. The main piston controlled connection to the reservoir opens within the valve housing into a port connecting the pilot valve to the reservoir. This provides for a substantially simplified construction of the valve since there are only two operating ports and a reservoir port. Furthermore, the main piston is engaged by a spring which is capable of becoming activated such that dynamic stresses resulting from a change from high to low pressure values are avoided which vibrations are detrimental in generating pressure peaks as well as pressure breaks.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1984Date of Patent: May 27, 1986Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventor: Hans Wolfges

Patent number: 4555976Abstract: A device for controlling a consumer, in particular a hydromotor includes a restrictor, preferably an electrohydraulic proportional directional control valve, and a control valve operating on the basis of a releasable non-return valve. The control valve is provided with an actuating cylinder-and-piston unit having control ports and a biasing spring for the piston. The control valve also has a connecting port which is connected with a connecting port of the restrictor. In order to substantially simplify the structural design of the device, a flow regulator is installed between the control port of the control valve and the connecting port of the restrictor which is connected with the consumer. The control sides of the flow regulator and the control valve are connected through a throttle with a supply container. The space of the cylinder-and-piston unit adjoining the control side of the control piston is connected with another connecting port of the control valve and with the restrictor.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1983Date of Patent: December 3, 1985Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventor: Hans Wolfges
