    摘要: A measurement of the pressure of hydraulic fluid in a fluid working machine can be determined from the timing of the movement of valves which selectively seal a working chamber of cyclically varying volume from a fluid gallery. The timing of opening of a low pressure valve, to connect a working chamber to a low pressure fluid gallery, following the closure of a high pressure valve to seal a working chamber can be used to estimate the pressure in the high pressure fluid gallery at the moment of closure of the high pressure valve.

    摘要: A multi-rotor aerial vehicle comprises least two rotors, a controller, a power supply having an output shaft, a shaft-driven hydraulic machine coupled to the output shaft and at least two rotor-driving hydraulic machines coupled to respective rotors. At least one of the hydraulic machines is an electronically commutated hydraulic machine in which the displacement of hydraulic fluid through each working chamber is regulated by one or more electronically controllable valves, during each cycle of working chamber volume, in phased relationship to cycles of working chamber volume. The controller controls the one or more electronically controllable valves of each of the electronically commutated hydraulic machines to independently control the rotation of the rotors. It may be that the shaft-driven hydraulic machine is an electronically commutated machine with a plurality of independent outputs, which independently drive the rotor-driving hydraulic machines. It may be that the rotor-driving hydraulic machines are electronically commutated machines the displacement of which is independently controlled to independently drive the rotors.

    摘要: A fluid-working machine has a working chamber of cyclically varying volume, high and low pressure manifolds, and high and low pressure valves for regulating the flow of fluid between the working chamber and the high and low pressure manifolds respectively. A controller actively controls at least one said valve to determine the net displacement of working fluid of the working chamber on a cycle by cycle basis. At least one said valve is a variable timing valve and the controller causes the valve to open or close at a time determined taking into account one or more properties of the performance of the fluid working machine measured during an earlier cycle of working chamber volume. Properties of the opening or closing of a monitored valve may be taken into account. The variably timed valve may therefore be opened or closed at an optimum time to achieve efficient and reliable operation of the fluid-working machine. The magnitude of the opening or closing force applied to a valve member may also be varied.

    摘要: A hydraulic transmission comprising a variable displacement pump and motor, at least one of which has cylinders having valves which are controllable on each cycle of cylinder working volume to determine the net displacement of working fluid by the cylinder. The transmission has a controller which determines a displacement of the pump and the motor. The displacement of the pump and/or motor is controlled to avoid the pump and/or motor generating vibrations with frequencies which correspond to resonant frequencies of portions of a machine which are part of or in mechanical communication with the hydraulic transmission and which arise from the pattern of active and inactive cycles of cylinder working volume, taking into account the speed of rotation of the rotatable shaft of the pump and/or motor.
