DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The embodiments herein generally relate to a hitch control valve in a vehicle and more particularly, to acompensator valve assembly for the hitch control valve in the vehicle. Further, embodiments herein relate to a method for filtering fluid provided to the hitch control valve of the vehicle.

BACKGROUND
[002] Vehicles such as tractors and other similar vehicles are primarily used in agricultural fields. One of the most common uses of agricultural tractors is to move an agricultural implement through agricultural fields to condition the soil for cultivation. Usually, the agricultural implements are attached to a rear-end and/or a front-end of the vehicle using a hitch depending on the type of vehicle configuration and the type of field operation that is to be carried out in the agricultural fields. Typically, a hitch control valve of the tractor is used to control the raising and lowering of the implement through the hitch. Usually, the hydraulic oil that is pumped to the hitch control valve is filtered by using a filer. However, if the filter is not functioning properly, then the oil along with contaminants (foreign particles) enters the hitch control valve. Due to introduction of contaminated oil to the hitch control valve, the contaminants get accumulated between a control valve main spool sleeve and a control valve main spool of the hitch control valve as there is low clearance between the control valve main spool sleeve and the control valve main spool, and this in turn restricts a movement of a hydraulic lift arm of the tractor and the implement remains in a lifted position during field operations which is undesirable.
[003] Therefore, there exists a need for a compensator valve assembly for a hitch control valve in a vehicle, which obviates the aforementioned drawbacks. Further, embodiments herein relate to a method for filtering fluid provided to the hitch control valve of the vehicle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] The embodiments herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained more fully with reference to the non-limiting embodiments that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein may be practiced and to further enable those of skill in the art to practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.
[0016] The embodiments herein achieve acompensator valve assembly for a hitch control valve in a vehicle, which filters fluid provided to the hitch control valve. Further, embodiments herein achieve a methodfor filtering fluid provided to the hitch control valve. Referring now to the drawings Figs 1 through 4, where similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the figures, there are shown embodiments.
[0017] Fig. 1 depicts a schematic view of a compensator valve assembly (100) in fluid communication with a hitch control valve (10) in a vehicle, according to embodiments as disclosed herein. Fig. 2 depicts a photographic view of the compensator valve assembly (100), according to embodiments as disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the compensator valve assembly (100) includes at least one filter (102), a compensator spacer (104), a pressure pipe coupling (106), a dowty washer (107), a compensator sleeve (108), a compensator spool (110) and a compensator spring (112) and a valve body (114).
[0018] In an embodiment, the filter (102) is adapted to filter the fluid to remove foreign particles from the fluid provided to the hitch control valve (10) thereby restricting accumulation of foreign particles between a hitch control valve spool (not shown) and a hitch control valve sleeve (not shown) of the hitch control valve (10). The filter (102) is connected to the compensator spacer (104, as shown in fig. 3). It is also within the scope of embodimentsherein to provide the filter (102) in any portion of the compensator valve assembly (100) without otherwise deterring the intended function of the filter (102) as can be deduced from the description and corresponding drawings.For the purpose of this description and ease of understanding, the filter (102) is at least a filter mesh. However, it is also within of embodiments herein to provide any other filtering means for filtering fluid without otherwise deterring the intended function of the filter (102) as can be deduced from the description and corresponding drawings.
[0019] The compensator spacer (104) is adapted to compensate fluid flow according to pressure requirement in an oil gallery (not shown) in fluid communication with the hitch control valve (10).
[0020] The pressure pipe coupling (106) is adapted to be connected to a hydraulic pump (not shown) through a pressure pipe line (not shown). The pressure pipe coupling (106) is removed to detach the filter (102) from the compensator spacer (104) therein to clean the filter (102).
