Group 6 RCV Pedal: 1. Structure

GROUP 6 RCV PEDAL
1. STRUCTURE
The casing (spacer) has the oil inlet port P(primary pressure), and the oil outlet port T(tank). In
addition the secondary pressure is taken out through ports 1,2, 3 and 4 provided at the bottom face.

CROSS SECTION
The construction of the RCV pedal is shown in the below drawing. The casing has vertical holes in
which reducing valves are assembled.
The pressure reducing section is composed of the spool(8), spring(11) for setting secondary pressure,
return spring(18), stopper(13), spring seat(12) and shim(9). The spring for setting the secondary
pressure has been generally so preset that the secondary pressure is 5 to 19 kgf/cm2 (depending on the
type). The spool is pushed against the push rod(19) by the return spring.
When the push rod is pushed down by tilting pedal, the spring seat comes down simultaneously and
changes setting of the secondary pressure spring.

2. FUNCTION
1) FUNDAMENTAL FUNCTIONS
The pilot valve is a valve controls the spool stroke, direction, etc of a main control valve. This
function is carried out by providing the spring at one end of the main control valve spool and
applying the output pressure(=secondary pressure) of the pilot valve to the other end.
For this function to be carried out satisfactorily, the pilot valve is composed of the following
(1) elements.
(2) Inlet port(P) where oil is supplied from hydraulic pump.
(3) Output port(1,2,3 & 4) to apply pressure supplied from inlet port to ends of control valve spools.
(4) Tank port(T) necessary to control the above output pressure.
(5) Spool to connect output port to inlet port tank port.
Mechanical means to control output pressure, including springs that work on the above spools.
2)
FUNCTIONS OF MAJOR SECTIONS
The functions of the spool(8) are to receive the supply oil pressure from the hydraulic pump at its
port P, and to change over oil paths to determine whether the pressure oil of port P is led to output
ports 1,2,3 & 4 or the output spool to determine the output pressure.
The spring(11) works on this spool to determine the output pressure.
The change the deflection of this spring, the push rod(19) is inserted and can slide in the plug(14).
For the purpose of changing th displacement of the push rod through the cam(6) and adjusting
nut(22) are provided the pedal(2) that can be tilted in any direction around the fulcrum of the cam(6)
center.
The spring(18) works on the casing(1) and spring seat(12) and tries to return the push rod(19) to
the zero-displacement position irrespective of the output pressure, securing its resetting to the
center position.
This also has the effect of a reaction spring to give appropriate control feeling to the operator.

3) OPERATION
The operation of the pilot valve will be described on the basis of the hydraulic circuit diagram
shown below ant the attached operation explanation drawing.
The diagram shown below is the typical application example of the pilot valve.

The force of the spring(11) that determines the output pressure of the pilot valve is not
applied to the spool(8). Therefore, the spool is pushed up by the spring(18) to the
position of port 2 in the operation explanation drawing. Then, since the output port is
connected to tank port T only, the output port pressure becomes equal to tank pressure.
2-77
(2) Case where pedal is tilted
19
1 2
When the push rod(19) is stroked, the spool(8) moves downwards.

Then port P is connected with port 1, and the oil supplied from the pilot pump flows
through port 1 to generate the pressure.
When the pressure at port 1 increases to the value corresponding to the spring force set
by tilting the handle, the hydraulic pressure force balances with the spring force. If the
pressure at port 1 increases higher than the set pressure, port P is disconnected from
port 1 and port T is connected with port 1. If it decreases lower than the set pressure,
port P is connected with port 1 and port T is disconnected from port 1.
In this manner the secondary pressure is kept at the constant value.
Besides, in some type, when the handle is tilted more than a certain angle, the upper end
of the spool contacts with inside bottom of the push rod and the output pressure is left to
be connected with port P.
