Abstract
Abstract A direct-acting servo valve wherein a spool is directly driven by a force motor including a coiled first bobbin located in a first magnetic circuit composed of a first yoke and a first magnet mounted on the yoke includes a second magnetic circuit composed of a second yoke and a second magnet located at one end of the spool, and a third magnetic circuit composed of third magnets and a magnetic member located at the other end of the spool. The second magnetic circuit serves as means for detecting the velocity of the spool, and the third magnetic circuit serves as means for detecting the displacement of the spool.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
In a direct-acting servo valve wherein a spool is directly driven by a force motor including a coiled first bobbin located in a first magnetic circuit composed of a first yoke and a first magnet mounted on the yoke, the improvement comprising: a second magnetic circuit composed of a second yoke and a second magnet located at one end of the spool and serving as a means for detecting the velocity of the spool; and a third magnetic circuit composed of third magnets and a magnetic member located at the other end of the spool and serving as a means for detecting the displacement of the spool.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
In a direct-acting servo valve wherein a spool is directly driven by a force motor including a coiled first bobbin located in a first magnetic circuit composed of a first yoke and a first magnet mounted on the yoke, the improvement comprising: a second magnetic circuit composed of a second yoke and a second magnet located at one end of the spool and serving as a means for detecting the velocity of the spool; and a third magnetic circuit composed of third magnets and a magnetic member located at the other end of the spool and serving as a means for detecting the displacement of the spool.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
A direct-acting servo valve as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for detecting the velocity of the spool further comprises a second bobbin connected to the first bobbin of the force motor to provide a unitary structure and inserted between the second yoke and the second magnet located inwardly of the force motor constituting the first magnetic circuit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
60 words
A direct-acting servo valve as claimed in claim 1, wherein said means for detecting the displacement of the spool further comprises a pair of magnets located in spaced juxtaposed relation to each other at an end of the spool opposite an end thereof at which the force motor is located, and a magnetic resistance element interposed between the two magnets.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A direct-acting servo valve as claimed in claim 1, wherein said first bobbin is supported by a plate spring mounted on a body and connected to a neutral point adjusting member through a coil spring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
A direct-acting servo valve as claimed in claim 4, wherein said spool is prevented from rotating by means of said plate spring.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
53 words
A direct-acting servo valve as claimed in claim 1, wherein means are provided for amplifying by gains and feeding back to an input side of the servo valve the values of a velocity and a displacement of the spool detected by the spool velocity detecting means and the spool displacement detecting means respectively.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
175 words
A direct-acting servo valve comprising a valve body; a spool mounted in said valve body for axial movement; a force motor for directly driving said spool, said force motor including a coiled first bobbin located in a first magnetic circuit comprising a first yoke and a first magnet mounted on the first yoke; means for detecting the velocity of said spool, said velocity detecting means including a second magnetic circuit comprising a second yoke and a second magnet located at one end of the spool and a coiled second bobbin mounted for movement with said spool and inserted between said second yoke and said second magnet; and means for detecting the displacement of said spool, said displacement detecting means comprising third magnets and a magnetic member located at the other end of the spool, said third magnets being attached to said other end of the spool for movement with said spool and said third magnetic member being mounted on said servo valve adjacent said other end of the spool and located between said third magnets.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
175 words
A direct-acting servo valve comprising a valve body; a spool mounted in said valve body for axial movement; a force motor for directly driving said spool, said force motor including a coiled first bobbin located in a first magnetic circuit comprising a first yoke and a first magnet mounted on the first yoke; means for detecting the velocity of said spool, said velocity detecting means including a second magnetic circuit comprising a second yoke and a second magnet located at one end of the spool and a coiled second bobbin mounted for movement with said spool and inserted between said second yoke and said second magnet; and means for detecting the displacement of said spool, said displacement detecting means comprising third magnets and a magnetic member located at the other end of the spool, said third magnets being attached to said other end of the spool for movement with said spool and said third magnetic member being mounted on said servo valve adjacent said other end of the spool and located between said third magnets.
