A pressure selection valve is provided in a first coupling oil path to select a selected pressure from the pilot pressure and the additional pilot pressure to apply the selected pressure to the pilot hydraulic oil in the second coupling oil path. A pressure adjustment valve is provided in a second coupling oil path to control the selected pressure to be an adjusted pilot pressure.

An excavator includes a control valve configured to control hydraulic oil to be supplied to an actuator, based on pilot pressure; an electric operation device configured to output an operation signal; a gate lock device; a gate lock valve provided on a pilot line supplying the pilot pressure to the control valve, and configured to open or close according to a state of the gate lock device, so as to switch between a locked state and a released state; a proportional valve provided on the pilot line; and a control part configured to receive as input the operation signal, to control the proportional valve, wherein the control part determines, in a case where the gate lock valve is in the locked state by the gate lock device and an operation is performed on the electric operation device, the operation as an operational error.

In the case of an incorrect polarity of connectors in hydraulic networks, a switching device is provided, and formed with a connector part, a valve body, a switching part displaced axially in the valve body within limits, a base part and a top part. Wherein cooperating annular chambers for the conducting of a working fluid are formed in the region of an inner surface of the valve body and an outer surface of the switching part.

A monitoring system (500) of an on/off type actuator device (1) for activating a valve for fluid pipelines is described, the actuator device (1) being configured to move a valve member of said valve between a first position and a second position. The actuator device (1) comprises at least one fluid cylinder (6) configured to control a linear movement of an actuator rod (8). The monitoring system (500) comprises a plurality of sensors mounted on the actuator device (1) and configured to detect a plurality of operating parameters of the actuator device, and an electronic processing and control unit (50). The electronic processing and control unit (50) is configured to impart a micro-movement to the valve member, to detect signals indicative of the values of said operating parameters during said micro-movement of the valve member, and as a function of said values of said detected operating parameters to estimate if said actuator device (1) is capable of applying a torque or force value sufficient to make said valve member perform the entire movement from the first position to the second position. The micro-movement is such as to constitute only the start of movement of the movable member of the valve, corresponding only to the overcoming of mechanical clearances and dissipative and deformation effects internal to the actuator (1), and furthermore is such as not to substantially involve any alteration in the flow of fluid controlled by the valve. In this way, it is possible to estimate the state of health of the actuator device (1) without causing variations in the flow of fluid through the aforesaid valve.
