There is provided a control module for a hydraulic system. The module comprises a tank and a plurality of valves. The tank is configured to store hydraulic fluid and is substantially cylindrical. The plurality of valves fluidly connect with the tank and are configured to control distribution of hydraulic fluid from the tank to one or more components of the system. The plurality of valves are spaced around a circumference of the tank. One or more passages fluidly connect the tank with at least one of the plurality of valves and/or a first of the plurality of valves with a second of the plurality of valves.

A control valve is provided for construction equipment having a holding valve which prevents the natural lowering of an operation apparatus due to the dead weight of the operation apparatus when an actuator is in a neutral position. A control valve for construction equipment according to the present invention includes: a valve body in which a supply path in communication with a pump path, through which a hydraulic fluid is supplied from a hydraulic pump, and actuator ports connected to an actuator are formed; a spool which is embedded in the valve body so as to be switchable; a holding valve having a holding poppet which is formed at the actuator port of any one of the actuator ports, and an auxiliary spool which is connected to a back pressure chamber of the holding poppet and releases the held load of the actuator at the time of switching; a control valve provided in the valve body; a pilot pressure control valve, embedded in the holding valve so as to be switchable, which applies or blocks a pilot pressure applied to switch the auxiliary spool on or off through a path when the pilot pressure control valve is switched on or off by means of the pressure of the hydraulic fluid which is drained from the back pressure chamber of the holding poppet at the time of switching the auxiliary spool on or off.

A hydraulic system including a first cylinder conduit configured to couple to a cylinder, an auxiliary conduit configured to couple to a case drain conduit, and a pressure regulator coupled to the first cylinder conduit and to the auxiliary conduit. The pressure regulator may block fluid flow to the auxiliary conduit if a first fluid pressure is less than or equal to a threshold pressure and enable fluid flow if the first fluid pressure is greater than the threshold pressure. The hydraulic system further includes a supplemental conduit with a check valve that directs fluid from the auxiliary conduit to a reservoir. The check valve blocks fluid flow if a second fluid pressure is less than or equal to a third fluid pressure, and enables fluid flow if the second fluid pressure greater than the third fluid pressure.

The present disclosure relates to a hydraulic system for a construction machine, and more particularly, to a hydraulic system for a construction machine including a plurality of actuators, in which each of the actuators includes a pump/motor, is operated under a control of a corresponding pump/motor, and stores working oil in an accumulator or receives the working oil supplemented from the accumulator in accordance with a difference between a flow rate entering the actuator and a flow rate discharged from the actuator.

A valve for a hydraulic circuit for an aircraft, the valve being configured to unite or separate multiple circuit portions in at least two configurations. More particularly, the valve allows to create one hydraulic circuit or two independent hydraulic circuits in order to circulate a coolant in two distinct manners and thus to adapt the function of the hydraulic circuit to any of two distinct phases of the functioning of an engine of the aircraft.

A lifting mechanism has a descending mode including an energy-regeneration mode and a non-energy-regeneration mode. The lifting mechanism includes: a battery, an electric machine, a hydraulic pump, an oil tank, a hydraulic cylinder, a work platform and a flow limiting valve. In the energy-regeneration mode, the hydraulic fluid drives the hydraulic pump to operate as a hydraulic motor, thus in turn driving the electric machine to operate as a generator and charge the battery. In the non-energy-regeneration mode, the flow limiting valve limits the maximum of the descending speed of the work platform. In the present application, the flow limiting valve is used to provide throttling resistance to limit the maximum of the descending speed of the hydraulic fluid, thus in turn defining the maximum of the descending speed of the work platform. Therefore, in the present application, by using the flow limiting valve to define the maximum of the descending speed of the work platform, the safety problem due to an accelerated descent during descending of the work platform may be solved, and thus the safety of the lifting mechanism may be ensured.

A hydraulic system for a farm implement having wings is provided. The hydraulic system includes a wing elevation circuit operable to lower or raise the wings of the farm implement and a wing folding circuit operable to fold or unfold the wings of the farm implement. The wing elevation circuit is operable to raise or lower the wings of the farm implement. The hydraulic system further includes a hydraulic valve block assembly in communication with the wing elevation circuit and the wing folding circuit, in which the hydraulic valve block assembly is operable to control a flow of a hydraulic fluid in the wing elevation circuit and in the wing folding circuit.

A vehicle hydraulic control device for a rotating electrical machine and associated gear mechanism. Oil passages are configured with relief valves such that a first relief valve discharges oil in a first oil passage when an oil pressure in the first oil passage located downstream of a throttle portion becomes higher than a predetermined first set oil pressure, and a second relief valve allows a part of the second oil passage which is located upstream of the second relief valve to communicate with a part of the second oil passage which is located downstream of the second relief valve when an oil pressure in the second oil passage located upstream of the second relief valve becomes higher than a predetermined second set oil pressure set higher than the first set oil pressure.
