Control arrangement for a hydraulically operated device

摘要

A control arrangement for a hydraulically operated load lifting and lowering device includes precontrolled first valve means controlling flow of fluid from a source under pressure to a return conduit leading to a tank or to a working conduit leading to the device and a closer block in the working conduit, including a piston controlling flow of pressure fluid from the working conduit into the device, respectively flow of pressure fluid out of the device into the return conduit downstream of the piston. A throttle is arranged in the return conduit to produce upstream of the throttle a pressure acting on the piston but not on the slide of the first valve means, whereby without increasing the neutral fluid circulation pressure a uniform lowering of the load independent of the magnitude thereof may be obtained.
