  • Patent number: 6241212
    Abstract: A hose rupture control valve unit includes a housing provided with two input/output ports. One input/output port is directly attached to a bottom port of a hydraulic cylinder, and the other input/output port is connected to one of actuator ports of a control valve via an actuator line. Within the housing, there are provided a poppet valve body serving as a main valve, a spool valve body serving as a pilot valve which is operated with a pilot pressure supplied as an external signal from a manual pilot valve, thereby operating the poppet valve body, and a small spool having the function of an overload relief valve. The above construction reduces the number of components arranged in a flow passage through which a hydraulic fluid passes at a large flow rate, and hence a pressure loss. A further reduction in overall size and production cost of the valve unit is achieved.
