ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic valve system particularly adapted for controlling a hydraulically powered elevator. The system involves essentially a bypass valve which selectively bypasses hydraulic fluid from the pump directly back to the tank during the up mode operation, thereby controlling the up speed of the elevator; and a down valve which selectively controls the escape of fluid from the elevator jack back to the tank, thereby controlling the down speed of the elevator. The down valve also serves as a check valve for retaining fluid pressure in the jack. Both the bypass valve and the down/check valve are each controlled by closely integrated cylinder-and-piston arrangement, with pressure to the cylinder being controlled by a control valve structurally interlinked to the respective piston. The bypass valve also serves as a check valve between the jack and the tank during the down mode of operation. The cylinder-and-piston control for the bypass valve makes possible an initial limit opening of the bypass valve, i.e. the valve sizing, while still permitting readjustment of the opening during the down mode, thereby allowing the bypass valve to fully open in the down mode, when it functions simply as a check valve. The entire structure is housed in a compact arrangement making optimum usage of common fluid conduit passages.
