Abstract:
A valve structure (1) for driving reversible ploughs (40), comprising a first port (3) adapted to be in fluid communication with a pump (P) in a first configuration of the plough (40) and adapted to be in fluid communication with a tank (T) in a second reversed configuration of the plough (40), and a second port (4) adapted to be in fluid communication with the tank (T) in the first configuration of the plough (40) and adapted to be in fluid communication with the pump (P) in the second reversed configuration of the plough (40), a body (2) which includes a first seat (5) and a second seat (6), the seats housing respective moving spools (13, 14), a first interconnection port (7a) for the connection of the valve structure (1) to a first chamber (10a) of a first hydraulic cylinder (10) for longitudinally aligning the plough (40), and a second interconnection port (7b) for the connection to a second chamber (10b) of the first hydraulic cylinder (10), a third interconnection port (8a) for the connection of the valve structure (1) to a first chamber (12a) of a second hydraulic cylinder (12) for reversing the plough (40), and a fourth interconnection port (8b) for the connection to a second chamber (12b) of the second hydraulic cylinder (12). The valve structure (1) comprises hydraulic components configured to control the relative displacement of the spools (13, 14) to automatically control the movement of the cylinders (10, 12). A check valve (31) enables the fluid to flow in the second reversed configuration of the plough (40).
