Abstract
A flow reinforcement directional control valve that is capable of reinforcing a pressure fluid to two actuators, can be formed as compact and yet is capable of flowing a return fluid out of a single actuator into a tank is provided, wherein a valve block 20 has a spool bore 21 in which a first spool (22) and a second spool (23) are slidably inserted; in which the first spool (22) is adapted to be held at a neutral position thereof by a first spring (36) and to be displaced by a pressure fluid in a second pressure receiving chamber (47) to a position thereof for supplying the fluid to an actuator; and in which the above mentioned second spool (23) is adapted to be held at a neutral position thereof by a second spring (41) and to be displaced by a pressure fluid in a first pressure receiving chamber (42) to a position thereof for flowing a return fluid into a tank and to be displaced by a pressure fluid in a third pressure receiving chamber (52) to a position thereof for supplying a pressure fluid to an actuator.
