Abstract
A switching valve includes a sleeve on which a plurality of ports are disposed; a spool that is disposed inside the sleeve to move in an axial direction by a pilot hydraulic pressure to switch between switching lines each serving as a flow channel for hydraulic fluid that is formed by a combination of the ports; a first energizing unit that energizes the spool against the pilot hydraulic pressure; a relief hole that is disposed on the spool to discharge the hydraulic fluid with the pilot hydraulic pressure; a valve body that closes the relief hole; and a second energizing unit that energizes the valve body toward the relief hole of the spool against the pilot hydraulic pressure, and when the pilot hydraulic pressure exceeds a predetermined value, opens the relief hole.
