Valve assembly for attenuating bounce of hydraulically driven members of a machine

A member that is driven by a hydraulic actuator tends oscillate when fluid flow to the hydraulic actuator is terminated. A pressure relief device reduces that oscillation by connecting first and second first relief valves to the hydraulic actuator. The first relief valve provides a relatively large...

Zusammenfassung:	A member that is driven by a hydraulic actuator tends oscillate when fluid flow to the hydraulic actuator is terminated. A pressure relief device reduces that oscillation by connecting first and second first relief valves to the hydraulic actuator. The first relief valve provides a relatively large first relief passage as long as pressure in the hydraulic actuator remains above a threshold. A second relief valve opens a second relief passage at substantially the same threshold pressure and thereafter remains open as long as the pressure remains above another lower threshold. A timer causes the second relief valve to close a given interval of time, if the pressure does not drop below the other lower threshold.
