Claim Text:
1. A flow control valve for a construction machine configured to control hydraulic fluid that is distributed and supplied from a hydraulic pump to a hydraulic actuator and a swing device, comprising: a valve block in which a pump path connected to the hydraulic pump and connection ports communicating with the hydraulic actuator are formed; a spool slidably installed inside the valve block and shifted according to pilot signal pressure applied thereto to control hydraulic fluid that is supplied from the pump path connected to the swing device side to the connection port side; a priority valve mounted on the valve block to limit a flow rate that is supplied from the pump path to the connection port side when the control spool is shifted according to applied pilot signal pressure of the swing device side; and a piston slidably installed inside a sleeve that is mounted on the priority valve and shifted according to applied pilot signal pressure to shift the control spool to a neutral position so as to release the function of limiting the hydraulic fluid that is supplied from the pump path to the connection port side.
