Publication number: 20080141669Abstract: In order to increase the pressure of the hydraulic medium in cylinders, especially those of the hydraulic longwall construction used in underground mining and tunnel construction, a control unit 21 is used which has suitably controllable, releasable check valves 29, 30 and 25, as well as a blockable check valve 31. These check valves and the associated directional valves create the possibility of filling both the cylinder space 20 proper and the piston rod cavity 26, which enables the pressure adjustment process with hydraulic medium in a specific manner, or accordingly their discharge, with no risk of reciprocal influence, seizing, or other damage.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 13, 2007Publication date: June 19, 2008Inventor: Wolfgang Voss

Patent number: 7100373Abstract: A hydraulic tool is provided with a spool valve 24 for changing the flow of a working fluid pressurized by a hydraulic power generating mechanism in a hydraulic circuit. The spool valve 24 is slidable in directions perpendicular to a piston rod 18. A cylindrical grip handle 34 to be operated by the operator's hand is extended parallel to the piston rod 18 on the outer surface of the main casing 5 so as to be turnable about its own axis. The spool valve 24 and the grip handle 34 are interlocked by a cam mechanism including members 29, 30 and 21. The spool valve 24 is moved axially by turning the grip handle 34 to control the flow direction of the working fluid.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2003Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha OguraInventor: Eisuke Oide

Patent number: 7040091Abstract: A multilevel speed regulation jack includes an input oil cylinder, an output oil cylinder, and a fluid conduit member between the cylinders. The output oil cylinder includes a cylinder body containing an annular space and a tube piston, which fits in the annular space. A sliding sleeve of the tube piston is movably positioned in the annular space. An annular in-flow oil chamber is formed between the end annular surface of the tube piston and the cylinder body, and a central in-flow oil chamber is formed between the inner central surface of the piston and the cylinder body. The fluid conduit member includes at least two parallel fluid channels connected to the central in-flow oil chamber and the annular in-flow oil chamber, respectively. A control valve in one of the fluid channels opens/closes the channel. The jack can automatically switch between different jacking speeds based on the load sensed by the system and therefore has a high jacking efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2004Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Inventor: Qun Fan
