Publication number: 20240142002Abstract: A spool valve includes: a sleeve extending in an axial direction thereof, including inlet and outlet ports for working fluid; a spool housed in the sleeve; a biasing device that presses a base end of the spool toward a tip end of the spool; and a pressure detecting port opening toward the tip end. The spool includes: first and second land sections; a groove section located between the first land section and the second land section, having a width in the axial direction to connect between the inlet port and outlet port; a recess portion formed on an outer peripheral surface of the second land section; and a connection passage for the working fluid formed in the second land section, connecting between the groove section and the recess portion. A path hole is formed in the sleeve facing the recess portion of the spool.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: IHI CorporationInventor: Seiei MASUDA

Patent number: 11933294Abstract: A pump system includes a triple-gear pump which pressurizes a fluid using three gears; an outlet flow path which guides the fluid from a first pressure-increasing portion to an outlet; a first flow path which guides the fluid from the first pressure-increasing portion to a second pressure-increasing portion; a second flow path which guides the fluid from the second pressure-increasing portion to the outlet flow path; a third flow path connected to the first flow path and the second flow path; a first valve device provided in the first flow path; a second valve device provided in the second flow path, and a control device which controls the first valve device. When the first pressure-increasing portion and the second pressure-increasing portion are switched from a parallel state to a series state, the control device causes the first valve device to open after the second valve device is closed.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: IHI CorporationInventor: Seiei Masuda
