Ezweni eliyinkimbinkimbi lama-hydraulics, ukuphindaphinda akukona nje ukunethezeka; kuyisidingo. Amavalvu eshuttle ame njengobufakazi buthule balesi simiso, eqinisekisa ukugeleza koketshezi okuqhubekayo ngisho nalapho kubhekene nokuphazamiseka kwesistimu. Ake singene sijule kumgomo, ukusebenza, izinzuzo, kanye nokusetshenziswa kwalaba baqaphi abahlukahlukene bokuthembeka kokusebenza kwamanzi.
Amavalvu eshutha ahlanganisa umklamo oyingqayizivele osiza ukushintsha okuzenzakalelayo phakathi kwemithombo yoketshezi eyinhloko neyesibili. Ukwakhiwa kwabo kuhilela amachweba amathathu abalulekile:
I-inlet evamile: Imbobo eyisisekelo yokuphakela uketshezi.
Enye indawo noma yokungena ezimeni eziphuthumayo: Imbobo yesibili yokuphakela uketshezi, eyenziwa yasebenza uma kwenzeka ukwehluleka okuyinhloko.
I-Outlet: Imbobo okuphuma kuyo uketshezi ku-valve ukuze idluliselwe phambili.
Inhliziyo ye-valve iyingxenye eshelelayo eyaziwa ngokuthi "i-shuttle." Isebenza njengonogada besango, ivala noma iyiphi imbobo yokungena ukuze iqondise uketshezi olusuka emugqeni wokuhlinzeka osebenzayo kuya endaweni yokuphuma.
Ngaphansi kokusebenza okuvamile, uketshezi lugeleza ngokukhululekile lusuka endaweni yokungena evamile, ngevalvu, luphumele ngaphandle. Kodwa-ke, inani langempela le-shuttle valve liyakhanya lapho ulayini wokuphakela oyinhloko uhlangabezana nezinkinga:
Ukuzihlukanisa Okuzenzakalelayo: Lapho ithola ukwehla kwengcindezi noma ukugqashuka kulayini oyinhloko, i-shuttle ivala ngokushesha i-inlet evamile, ihlukanise ulayini ohlulekile ukuze kuvinjelwe ezinye izinkinga.
Ukusebenza Kwesipele Esingenamthungo: Ngesikhathi esifanayo, i-shuttle iqondisa ukugeleza koketshezi kusuka kwenye indawo yokungena, iqinisekisa ukusebenza okungaphazamiseki futhi igweme ukwehluleka kwesistimu.
Ukuxhumana Okuqondile: Ama-valve e-Shuttle ahlinzeka ukuxhumana okuqondile phakathi komugqa wokuhlinzeka osebenzayo kanye nezingxenye zokusebenza, ukunciphisa ukulahlekelwa kwengcindezi nokwandisa ukusebenza kahle.
Ukuthembeka Kwesistimu Okuthuthukisiwe: Ama-valve e-Shuttle anciphisa kakhulu isikhathi sokuphumula kanye nomonakalo ongase ube khona obangelwa ukwehluleka komugqa wokuhlinzeka.
Ukuphepha Okuthuthukisiwe: Ngokugcina imisebenzi yesistimu ebalulekile, banikela ezindaweni zokusebenza eziphephile, ikakhulukazi ezinhlelweni ezinobungozi obukhulu.
Izindleko Ezincishisiwe Zokulungisa: Ukuvinjelwa kokwehluleka kwesistimu kuholela ezindlekweni eziphansi zokunakekela kanye nokwelulwa kwesikhathi sokuphila kwemishini.
Ukuguquguquka kwama-shuttle valve kunabela kuzo zonke izimboni nezinhlelo zokusebenza lapho ukuthembeka kubaluleke kakhulu:
Izicelo ze-Subsea: Ama-shuttle valves asebenza njengama-standby ashisayo kuma-subsea hydraulic systems, aqinisekisa ukusebenza okuqhubekayo ngisho nangaphansi kwezimo ezimbi kakhulu.
Izisetshenziswa Zokwakha: Ama-Cranes, ama-excavators, neminye imishini esindayo incike kuma-shuttle valve ukugcina ukulawula nokuphepha uma kwenzeka ukwehluleka kolayini we-hydraulic.
Ama-Braking Systems: Ama-shuttle valves adlala indima ebalulekile ezinhlelweni zamabhuleki, aqinisekisa amandla okubhuleka angaguquki noma ngabe ulayini wokunikezela owodwa wehluleka.
Izifunda Zokulawula: Ziwusizo ikakhulukazi kumasekhethi okulawula afaka amavalvu aqondisayo asebenza ngomshayeli nalawulwa kude, kanye namasekhethi anamaphampu aguquguqukayo nagxilile.
Ekuphetheni,ama-shuttle valvesihlanganisa ingqikithi yokuphindaphindeka ezinhlelweni zama-hydraulic. Ngokuhlinzeka ngokulondoloza okuzenzakalelayo nokuqinisekisa ukugeleza koketshezi okungaphazamiseki, bathuthukisa ukwethembeka, ukuphepha, nokusebenza kahle kuzo zonke izimboni eziningi. Ukuqapha kwabo buthule kunomthelela ekusebenzeni kahle kwemishini nezinhlelo ezingenakubalwa, kuqinisekiswe ukuthi imisebenzi iqedwa ngempumelelo nangokuphepha, ngisho nalapho kuphazamiseke okungalindelekile.
