Combined valve, power unit body and hydraulic power unit
A combined valve for insertion into an elongated bore of a power unit body of a hydraulic power unit may have an elongated carrier for receiving a relief and a check valve. The valve may also have a register arranged at a first axial position of a longitudinal axis of the carrier for calibration of the relief valve. The valve may also have a check valve coupled to the carrier at a second axial position along the longitudinal axis of the carrier. The valve may also have a relief valve coupled to the carrier at a third axial position along the longitudinal axis of the carrier. A minimal distance between the first and the second axial position may be less than a minimal distance between the first and the third axial position.
MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL FLUID VALVE AND VARIABLE MANUFACTURING MOLD
A variable mold includes a plurality of hydraulic pin systems. Each pin system includes a valve in fluid communication with a supply of pressurized fluid, a tubing in fluid communication with the valve, and a pin coupled to the tubing. The pin is configured to extend from the tubing in response to the supply of the fluid through the valve to the tubing. A longitudinal axis of each pin is mutually parallel and arranged in a two-dimensional array. The variable mold includes a controller operably coupled to the valves that can control the displacement of each pin. The variable mold may include a pin displacement detector configured to detect a displacement of each pin. The pin displacement detector is operably coupled to the controller. The controller can close each valve in response to the pin displacement detector detecting that the pin corresponding to the valve extends a predetermined distance.

INTERMITTENT AIR DISCHARGE APPARATUS
An intermittent air discharge apparatus has a main valve and a pilot valve, the main valve being switched between a discharge state and a discharge stop state. The pilot valve is switched between an air-supply state to supply air to a pilot chamber for air-discharge, and an air-supply stop state. When the pilot valve is switched to the air-supply state, an exhaust passage communicates with the pilot chamber for air-discharge. When the pilot valve is switched to the air-supply state, a supply or exhaust passage allows an air supply passage to communicate with the pilot chamber for air-discharge and a pilot chamber for stopping air-supply; when the pilot valve is switched to the air-supply stop state, communication with the air supply passage is blocked. A flow rate of air from the pilot chamber for air-discharge is set by the exhaust passage, and a flow rate of air from the pilot chamber for stopping air-supply is set by the supply or exhaust passage.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR ACTUATING LIFTING FUNCTION
A hydraulic control system for linear actuation that provides a bypass flow during startup of a lifting command, provides a split flow between a cylinder and a reservoir once a minimum operating speed of a pump has been reached, and provides complete flow to a cylinder after the minimum operating speed of the pump has been reached. This is achieved through control of a flow control valve and a proportional flow control valve by a processor.
