Water delivery control system

A water delivery control system operates to selectively deliver water from a water source to water use devices. The system includes at least one controller that wirelessly communicates messages with a portable user device. The system includes a water control valve and a motor that is operative to selectively move at least one valve element of the valve. A water meter is operative to measure water flow that corresponds to flow through the valve. The controller is operable to cause the valve to enable or prevent flow through the valve responsive at least in part to water flow data. The controller is operative to determine a water use condition responsive to a water usage pattern, and to cause at least one message to be sent to the portable user device responsive to the determined water use condition.

Pilot-type electromagnetic valve

Passage forming blocks of a first pilot valve and a second pilot valve each include a supply passage, which opens in a first surface and a second surface and is connected to a valve chamber, a first output passage, which opens in the first surface and are connected to the valve chamber, and a second output passage, which opens in the first surface. Further, the passage forming blocks each include an output passage connecting recess. The output passage connecting recess is provided in a section of the second surface that overlaps with an opening region of the first output passage, which opens in the first surface, and is connected to the second output passage. The first output passage of the first pilot valve is connected to the second output passage of the second pilot valve via the output passage connecting recess of the second pilot valve.

Valves including one or more flushing features and related assemblies, systems, and methods

Valve and related assemblies, systems, and methods may include a self-cleaning feature that may be configured to at least partially displace material from a portion of the valve. Such valves may be utilized in a pressure exchanger.

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL VALVE

A directional control valve includes: a housing having a cylindrical spool hole communicating with an inlet port letting a fluid from an external supply source at a predetermined pressure and an outlet port flowing the fluid to a working cylinder; a spool movable in the spool hole axially and changing an amount of flow of the fluid; a first solenoid driving section having a first needle coupled to or integral with a first end portion of the spool and driving the spool; and a second solenoid driving section having a second needle coupled to or integral with a second end portion of the spool and driving the spool, the directional control valve including a pressure equalization circuit equally applying a pressure to the end portions.

Selector control valve
11543039 · 2023-01-03 · ·

A selector control that is manually operable by a user for activating or deactivating a primary control or a secondary control. The selector control may include a first state for activating the primary control and deactivating the secondary control, a second state for activating the secondary control and deactivating the primary control, and a failsafe state for deactivating both the primary control and the secondary control. The selector control may be configured to maintain the second state independent of continuous user input being applied to the selector control, and configured to maintain the first state when continuous user input is applied to the selector control. The selector control is normally biased toward the failsafe state such that the selector control automatically selects the failsafe state when the user discontinues applying the user input for maintaining the first state. The selector control has particular application for use in controlling a boom of a work vehicle.

Fuel system control

An evaporative emissions control system includes a first vent valve configured to selectively open and close a first vent, a second vent valve configured to selectively open and close a second vent, a fuel level sensor configured to sense a fuel level in the fuel tank, a pressure sensor configured to sense a pressure in the fuel tank, an accelerometer configured to measure an acceleration of the vehicle, and a controller configured to regulate operation of the first and second vent valves to provide pressure relief for the fuel tank. The controller is programmed to determine if a refueling event is occurring based one signals indicating the fuel level is increasing, the pressure in the fuel tank is increasing, and the vehicle is not moving, and open at least one of the first and second vent valves based on determining the refueling event is occurring.

Autosampler and fluid chromatograph

An autosampler sets an injection valve to be in a sample filling state when a sample loop is filled with a sample, and, after completion of filling with the sample, switches the injection valve to an intermediate state and first connects only one end of the sample loop to a liquid delivery channel and an analysis channel. After the above, the injection valve is switched to the sample injection state and the sample loop is interposed between the liquid delivery channel and the analysis channel, so that the sample is injected into the analysis channel.

Lockout solenoid valve for brake actuator and system thereof
11543045 · 2023-01-03 · ·

An electrohydraulic valve system for controlling a braking system of a work machine includes a valve body forming a bore and a fluid channel, a valve spool disposed within the bore, and a first armature positioned with respect to the valve spool to move the valve spool axially within the bore between a first position and a second position. A spring is disposed within the bore, where the valve spool is biased to its first position by the spring. A first electromagnetic coil is operably controlled between an energized state and a de-energized state, and a lockout system is formed at least partially within the valve body. The lockout system includes a second armature, a second electromagnetic coil, and a lockout spring, where the second electromagnetic coil is operably controlled between an energized state and a de-energized independently of the first electromagnetic coil.
