Abstract

A lubrication loop includes a main flow path connected to a lubrication flow path, a control valve connected to the main flow path, a return flow path connected to the control valve and configured to return the fluid to the fluid pump, and a sub-flow path branching off from the main flow path. The control valve includes a discharge port at a distance from a supply port of a valve housing chamber and connected to the return flow path, an open port formed at one end of the valve housing chamber to discharge the fluid, an annular recessed portion formed on an outer circumferential surface of the spool has a width extending from the supply port to the discharge port, and a sub port annularly formed between the discharge port and the open port on an inner circumferential surface of the valve housing chamber and connected to the sub-flow path.
