VALVE FOR CONTROLLING A HYDROPNEUMATIC DEVICE FOR PRESSURE TRANSMISSION, AND HYDROPNEUMATIC DEVICE FOR PRESSURE TRANSMISSION WITH A VALVE

摘要

A valve is proposed for controlling a hydropneumatic device for pressure transmission with a working plunger and a transmitter plunger for pressure transmission, wherein the transmitter plunger is designed to move the working plunger hydraulically on account of a pneumatic actuation with a comparatively high transmission ratio, wherein the valve has a differential plunger arrangement with a first plunger with a first active plunger surface in a first pressure chamber and a second plunger with a second active piston surface in a second pressure chamber, wherein the first plunger is coupled to the second plunger, wherein the first pressure chamber is provided with a first connection for, for example, a pneumatic return-stroke chamber of the working plunger and the second pressure chamber is provided with a second connection for a pneumatic pressure source which differs from the return-stroke chamber, and wherein, in the case of a predefined pressure difference, the valve switches during a working stroke of the working plunger and loads the transmitter plunger with a transmitter pressure. According to the invention, a third plunger with a third active plunger surface is provided, which third plunger is coupled to the second plunger and has a third pressure chamber which can be loaded with a pneumatic pressure source via a third connection, wherein the valve is such that, in the case of a predefined pressure difference between the first and third pressure chambers, the valve switches and supplies any connected transmitter plunger with pressure from the second pressure chamber.
