  • Patent number: 11525525
    Abstract: An apparatus for noise reduction in valves is disclosed. A disclosed example valve includes a valve body including a fluid passageway, and a cage located in the fluid passageway, the cage including a wall having openings, a fluid to flow from an inner surface of the wall to an outer surface of the wall through the openings, each of the openings including respective ribs, the ribs to follow a helical path along a length of each opening to cause rotation of the fluid flowing through the openings.

  • Patent number: 10830365
    Abstract: A check valve includes a housing, a first valve, and a second valve. The housing has a first portion that defines a first chamber and a second portion that defines a second chamber. The first valve is disposed within and is movable relative to the housing. The second valve is at least partially extends into the first valve. Responsive to a fluid flow in a first direction, the second valve and the first valve moves towards a proximal end of the housing and the fluid flow flows around the first valve towards a component.

  • Patent number: 7665579
    Abstract: A flow control valve includes a pressure compensating valve and a first switching valve. The pressure compensating valve is configured to enlarge an opening area of a variable orifice between a load pressure line and a compensating pressure line when a pressure of working fluid of the compensating pressure line is smaller than a first set pressure, and narrow the opening area of the variable orifice when the pressure of the working fluid of the compensating pressure line is larger than the first set pressure. The first switching valve is configured to switch between a meter-out operation and a neutral operation by an external operation, wherein the working fluid of the compensating pressure line is drained in the meter-out operation, the working fluid of the compensating pressure line is not drained in the neutral operation. The load pressure line guides the working fluid to be supplied to an actuator.

  • Patent number: 7451780
    Abstract: A valve apparatus is disclosed for use in regulating the flow of fluid between a closed hydraulic loop and a fluid source in a hydraulic circuit, where the valve apparatus provides up to four different functions including a check valve, a neutral valve, a relief valve and a pressure rise rate valve. The apparatus includes a valve seat for selectively permitting fluid communication between the closed hydraulic loop and the fluid source, a sleeve member and a relief poppet in the valve seat, a relief compression spring inside the sleeve and positioned adjacent the relief poppet and the base of the slidable member, a valve guide and an accumulator piston slidably mounted within the valve guide to define an accumulator volume therein.

  • Patent number: 7320334
    Abstract: A valve for use in regulating the flow of fluid between a first fluid side and a second fluid side of a hydraulic circuit. A bore is extended through a valve seat, and the bore and valve stem cooperate to form a fluid passage from the first side to the second side. A plurality of ribs are located on one side of the valve seat and extend in a direction generally parallel to the bore.

  • Patent number: 6619497
    Abstract: Apparatus for venting a container containing a fluid and including a poppet mounted to the bottom of a cap or flap mounted to a housing for being mounted to the container, a fastener for fastening the cap of flap to the housing and which fastener may be a fusible fastener for unfastening the cap or flap and for venting the container to the atmosphere upon heat applied externally to the container reaching a predetermined temperature. The poppet venting the container to the atmosphere upon the pressure in the container reaching a predetermined pressure and the poppet may be a combination poppet for venting the container to the atmosphere upon pressure in the container reaching a predetermined pressure and for venting the container to the atmosphere upon a vacuum in the container reaching a predetermined vacuum.

  • Patent number: 6196258
    Abstract: The pressure control valve is structured such that a first port is formed on one side of a casing, a second port is formed on the other side, and, in the casing, there are disposed not only a positive pressure valve which, when the pressure on the first port side becomes high, can be moved to the second port side to thereby communicate with the second port side, but also a negative pressure valve which, when the pressure on the first port side becomes low, can be moved to the first port side to thereby communicate with the second port side. In the pressure control valve, there is provided flow passage expanding means which, which the positive pressure valve has moved to the second port side beyond a given distance, allows the first port side to communicate with the second port side.
