In the intermediate neutral position of the valves when no pressure is being applied thereto by the pump I1 the pin cooperating with the balancing springs 31 will result in both the ball valves 3c and 36 remaining od their respective seats by a, small distance and thereby will permit a restricted iiow of iiuid therepast.
As illustrated, the reservoir 25 is provided with a removable cover 42 secured in place by an elongated bolt 43 which is threaded into a suitably tapped opening at the top or' the valve block 30.
Referring now to Figure 3, the construction of the hydraulic power unit 50i is illustrated. This unit comprises an upper cylindrical casing portion having an apertured supporting bracket 52 secured thereto and a lower generally cylindrical casing portion 53. Casing portions 5I and 53 are secured together in alignment by means of a, reversely bent nange 54 formed on the casing portion 53 which cooperates with an outwardly turned nange 55 on the casing portion 5|. A transverse partition 56 is supported between the nange port- ions 54 and 55. '.Lhe partition 56 is provided with a port 51 which affords communication between the upper valve chamber 5t and the lower valve chamber 59.
Various inlet and outlet connections are provided to the upper chamber 58 and the lower chamber 59. 'lhe upper chamber 53 has a pump connection 60 and a pair or' motor connections 6| and 62, all of these connections being located in the outer cylindrical wall of the casing portion 5|. 'lhe lower chamber 59 is provided with a pump connection 63 which is located in the end wall of the casing portion 53 in alignment with the port 51 formed in the partition 56. In addition, a pair of motor connections 64 and 65 are provided. The connections 60, 6|, 62, 63, 64 and 65 are in the form of internally threaded nipples appropriately secured to openings formed in the walls of the casing portions 5| and 53.
A valve element is provided and has a reduced portion 1I passing through the port 51 and an enlarged portion 12 intermediate the partition and the pump connection 63. The pump connection 63 has a port 13 therein which provides a seat for a ball valve 14 rigidly secured to the lower end of the valve element 10. Inter- -mediate the reduced portion 1| and the enlarged portion 12 of the valve element is a conical portion which is constructed to serve as a valve -in cooperation with the port 51.
The valve 10 is a two-position valve, its iirst position being the lower position, in which case the ball valve 14 seats upon and closes the port 13 formed in the pump connection 63. The second position of the valve 10 is the upper posi-A tion as illustrated in Figure 3, at which time the conical portion 15 of the valve element seats in and closes the port 51 in the partition 56.
Means are provided for moving the valve between its two positions and these means take the form of a solenoid mounted in the upper casing portion 5I and comprising a winding 80 and a core 8| movable axially of the winding. The core 8|, as illustrated in Figure 3, is solid and accordingly substantial forces can be exerted thereon by energization of the winding 80. The solenoid is mounted in the casing portion 5| by an annular plate 82 and by a plug 83 secured 4within a sleeve 84 located within the winding 80.
The core 8| is rigidly connected to the valve 10, the lower end of the core being suitably shaped to receive an enlarged end portion thereof.
A compression spring 86 surrounds the lower end of the core where it extends beyond the winding 80 and engages an annular dished spring seat 81 which is supported in an annular groove adjacent the lower end of the core 8|. The upper end of the spring 86, as illustrated, bears against the sleeve 84.
Referring again to Figure l, the pump and reservoir assembly is connected to a pair of hydraulic motors 90 and 9| through the hydraulic power unit 50. The pump connector 60 on the unit 50 is connected by means of a conduit 95 to the pump passages I9 and 2 I. The other pump connector 63 is connected to the remaining pump passages I8 and 20 by a conduit 96. The motor connectors 62 and 6I are connected respectively to corresponding ends of the cylinders 90 and 9| by conduits 91 and 98 respectively. The motor connecters 64 Yand 65 are connected to the opposite ends of the cylinders 90 and 9| by conduits 99 and |00 respectively.
Before proceeding with an explanation of the operation of the system, attention is directed to the fact that the cylinders 90 and 9| during movements of the pistons |0| and |02 therein will cause a differential flow of hydraulic uid through the conduits 91 and 98 on the one hand and the conduits 99 and |00 on the other hand. This is for the reason that the piston rods |03 and |04 displace a certain amount of fluid from the undersideof the pistons |0| and |02. Accordingly, as the pistons move downwardly, for example, a greater quantity of uid will be flowing through conduits 91 and 92 than will be returning through conduits 99 and |00.
Considering first the operation of the combined pump and reservoir unit, it is assumed first that the pump I1 is rotating in such direction that fluid pressure is built up in passages I9 and 2| and will accordingly cause flow of fluid out of these passages. At the same time, the port 21 and passage 40 in the Valve block 30 are exposed to pressure and accordingly pressure will build up in the right-hand end of the transverse passage 3| (as seen in Figure 4), causing the ball valve 36 to move to the left and engage its seat. Movement of the ball valve 36 to the left moves thc ball valve 35 away from its seat through the rnediurn of the pin 4|, thereby establishing aconnection between the reservoir 25 and the suction side of the pump I1 through the passage 33, the reduced portion 32 of the transverse passage 3i, the left-hand end of the passage 3|, the passage 39 and the port 26. Accordingly, if a differential flow exists between the pressure and suction side of the pump so that more fluid moves through the conduit 95 than is returning through the conduit 96, the deficiency may be made up by iluid withdrawn from the reservoir. If on the other hand operation yof the motor results in the return of more uid through the conduit 96 thanis forced through the conduit 95 by the pump I1, the excess fluid may escape into the reservoir through the ports and passages enumerated. If the motor I I is reversed the operation is identical with the exception that the passages formerly acting as outlet passages now serve as inlet passages.
Suitable circuit-controlling means are provided which insure that when the motor I I is energized to operate motors 90 and 9|, the solenoid windlaisserai iing'f'B-'is also energized. v`Accordingly,Y at lany time that the motor Il is runningfin either-direction to opera-te-` motordll O and 9 I `the solenoid-winding isfenergizedthe' solenoid. core is vmoved .upwardly "as-seen in -Figure l 3 and -the -valve element -'Il throughlthe mot-or connectors `6 I and-BZandthence fi-ntothe upper ends. of thecylinders 19t andi Q I D'o'wnward frnov'e'me'nt of 'the .pistons I il I vand I S2 in the l :cylinders Yresults in the displacement of duidf from beneath fthef vpistons through Ithe foon- Ad-iiits'Sl and Ilintotheniotor connecters-lland 'FBS-respectively. l-l/-lspreviously: stated, the'ball Vvalve 1li -at this time' is folf'the seatf and accordvhing-lythisiluidy escapes through lthe pumpY con- #fn'ecter-SS and returns through the-conduiti-6 to the pump.
