Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A pressure regulation servo-valve comprising a body having a utilization port, a feed port, and a return port, a spool mounted as a sliding fit in the body, the spool co-operating with the body to define a pilot chamber connected to the utilization port. The spool and the body together further define a priming chamber connected to the feed port via a second constriction and connected to the nozzle via a third constriction, and in which there exists a priming pressure acting on the spool in the first direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 1. A pressure regulation servo-valve comprising a body having a utilization port, a feed port, and a return port, a spool mounted as a sliding fit in the body so as to put the utilization port in communication with the feed port and with the return port depending on respective flow sections determined by the position of the spool, the spool co-operating with the body to define a pilot chamber connected to the utilization port via a first constriction and connected to a nozzle leading into a cavity connected to the return port, a flapper being mounted to move in controlled manner in the cavity facing the nozzle in order to regulate a leakage flow rate through the nozzle, and thus regulate a pilot pressure in the pilot chamber acting on the spool in order to move the spool in a first direction, wherein the spool and the body together further define a priming chamber connected to the feed port via a second constriction and connected to the nozzle via a third constriction, and in which there exists a priming pressure acting on the spool in the first direction. 2. The servo-valve according to claim 1 , wherein the spool co-operates with the body to define a feedback chamber connected to the utilization port and acting on the spool in order to move the spool in a second direction opposite to the first direction. 3. The servo-valve according to claim 1 , wherein the spool co-operates with the body to define a compensation chamber connected to the return port and acting on the spool to move the spool in a second direction opposite to the first direction. 4. The servo-valve according to claim 1 , including a spring acting on the spool in order to move the spool in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
