VALVE CLUSTER Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC E02F9/22 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to hydraulic control units for agricultural or building machines. A valve cluster to control at least one consumer is proposed, the consumer comprises two connections (A, B) to the consumer sides, connection (P) to a pump and connection (T) to a tank as well as four slide control valves (C1-C4) which are hydraulically controlled by relevant control connection (c1-c4). The first slide control valve (C1) couples the connection (P) to the pump and the first connection (A) to the consumer side, the second slide control valve (C2) couples the connection (P) to the pump and the second connection (B) to the consumer side, the third slide control valve (C3) couples the first connection (A) to the consumer side and the connection (T) to the tank and the fourth slide control valve (C4) couples the second connection (B) to the consumer side and the connection (T) to the tank. Additionally two servovalves (Y1, Y2) are provided to control the control connections (c1-c4) respectively of each pair of slide control valves (C1-C4).

EFFECT: reduced inner pressure losses and higher efficiency of consumer operation.
