The first port G 8, the second port F 9, the third port H 10 and the fourth port E 11 are all located on the surface of the valve body, and the surface of the valve body is further provided with a fifth port M 13 connected to the oil circuit between the switch valve 12 and the first balance valve 400. The hydraulic sensor 18 can be provided on the fifth port M 13. The modular manufacture of the control valve 300 make it easy to install and versatile and can be installed on different models.
[0061] It should be understood that the above control valve 300 is a separate structure from the derricking cylinder 100, and is not limited to use with the above single-rod double-acting piston hydraulic cylinder 200, and can be used for other forms of hydraulic cylinders; Except used in the variable-speed cylinder, it can also be used in the telescopic cylinder of the aerial work platform; or it will not be used with the oil cylinder, but be used separately for other oil circuits that need to control the oil intake and oil return instead.
[0062] It should be understood that the first overflow function portion 5 of the first balance valve 400 of the above embodiment and the second overflow function portion 7 of the second balance valve 500 preferably adopt a pilot type structure. Optionally, the above first overflow function portion 5 of the first balance valve 400 and the second overflow function portion 7 of the second balance valve 500 may also adopt a common direct-acting structure, and the spring side control cavity of the overflow function portion does not have an external discharge port.
[0063] It should be understood that the first balance valve 400 and the second balance valve 500 are simultaneously operated for controlling the oil intake and the oil return, and the specific structures of the above-described first balance valve 400 and second balance valve 500 are not limited to the structure of the above embodiment, as long as the first balance valve 400 and the second balance valve 500 are ensured to work synchronously so that the control valve 300 can control the hydraulic cylinder 200 the oil intake and the oil return. The first balance valve 400 may include the first one-way functional portion 4 and the first overflow function portion 5, the second balance valve 500 may include the second one-way functional portion 6 and the second overflow function portion 7.
