Abstract:
Disclosed is a hydraulic system for utility vehicles, in particular agricultural tractors, for supplying primary and/or auxiliary pressure medium consumers (6, 11, 12) with pressure medium, comprising a pump (1), sucking from a pressure medium tank (3), the pump being controlled as a function of the load pressure of the pressure medium consumers and supplying a pump pressure exceeding the load pressure by a predetermined control pressure differential. In order to produce a first control pressure differential for operating a primary pressure medium consumer (6) its load pressure acts upon a pressure and flow controller (13) of the pump and in order to produce a second higher control pressure differential for operating an auxiliary pressure medium consumer (11, 12) a pressure exceeding their load pressure is produced by means of an amplifying circuit (29). In order to obtain rapid response of an actuated primary pressure medium consumer and in order to prevent, under certain conditions due to thermal expansion, pressure medium from flowing to the pressure and flow controller of the pump and possibly causing unwanted restriction of the pump, it is proposed that the load pressure of a primary pressure medium consumer (6) and the pressure supplied by the amplifying circuit (29) can be fed via a shuttle valve (19) to the pressure and flow controller (13) of the pump (1) and that the load pressure reporting line (28) conducting the load pressure of an auxiliary pressure medium consumer (11, 12) is connected via a flow control valve (30) to the pressure medium tank (3).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer hydraulischen Steueranordnung, die eine bedarfsstromgeregelte (load-sensing-geregelten) Verstellpumpe (18), als hydraulischen Verbraucher (22,23) einen einen ringförmigen ersten Druckraum (24) und einen kreiszylindrischen zweiten Druckraum (25) besitzenden Differentialzylinder (22,23), ein proportional verstellbares Wegeventil (12,13), ein Vorspannventil (60) zur Erzeugung eines Vorspanndrucks in einem stromauf des Vorspannventils gelegenen Abschnitt (42) der Ablaufleitung (43) und ein zwischen diesem Abschnitt der Ablaufleitung und der zweiten Verbraucherleitung (21) angeordneten und zu dieser hin öffnenden Rückschlagventil (45) aufweist. Bei einer solchen hydraulischen Steueranordnung dienen das vorhandene Vorspannventil (60) und das Rückschlagventil (45) dem Zweck, Kavitation im zweiten Druckraum (25) des Differentialzylinders (22,23) zu vermeiden. Diese Gefahr soll weiter verringert werden. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, daß Ventilmittel (70) vorgesehen sind, über die Druckmittel aus der Zulaufleitung (41) in den besagten Abschnitt (42) der Ablaufleitung (43) einspeisbar ist, wenn in diesem Abschnitt (42) der Druck auf einen unterhalb des Vorspanndrucks liegenden Wert abfällt. Somit kann den kavitationsgefährdeten Räumen, Kanälen und Leitungen zusätzliches Druckmittel aus dem vorgespannten Abschnitt (42) der Ablaufleitung (43) zugeführt werden und die Kavitationsgefahr ist weiter vermindert.
Abstract:
An improved pressure-compensated hydraulic system for feeding hydraulic fluid to one or more hydraulic actuators. A remotely located, variable displacement pump provides an output pressure equal to input pressure plus a constant margin. A pressure compensation system requires that a load-dependent pressure be provided to the pump input through a load sense circuit. A reciprocally spooled, multi-ported isolator transmits the load-dependent pressure to the pump input but prevents fluid in the load sense circuit from leaving the load sense circuit and flowing through a relatively long conduit leading to the remotely located pump. In a multi-valve array, at least one valve section has a backflow-preventing shuttle valve which prevents backflow through the pressure compensation system if a main relief valve is operative.
Abstract:
An excavator has a number of different hydraulically powered functions (28, 32, 36) that are controlled by a closed center hydraulic system which features a pair of variable displacement, engine driven hydraulic pumps (44, 46), the displacement of which is responsive to the demands of the system. The flow to various hydraulic motors (30, 34, 38) for the functions (28, 32, 36) is controlled by pilot operated load sensing control valves (85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90) which direct fluid pressure to a load sensing line (74) when one of the hydraulic motors in the system is being operated. This load sensing line (74) is connected to controls (48, 50) of the pumps (44, 46) to place the pumps in stroke when a flow of pressurized fluid is required. The flow of the load sensing pressure to the control (48) for one of the pumps (44) can be optionally disconnected by an on/off valve (78) to place this pump (44) in a standby condition and thereby reduce the flow capacity of the hydraulic system at the option of the operator.
Abstract:
A fluid control system (50) including a variable displacement pump (52) having a load system control (54) and configured to operate in an open center mode. A pump control (56) is operable between a first arrangement (58) and a second arrangement (60). The pump control (56) receives pressurized fluid from a first load sensor pressure in fluid communication with the pump (52) and an actuator return pressure in fluid communication with an actuator (22, 26) configured to operate using pressurized fluid from the system (50), the pump control (56) providing a selective pump control pressure to the pump load system control (54). When the system (50) is operating in a standby mode, the pump (52) operates in a first minimized displacement condition. When the system (50) is in a stall mode, the pump (52) operates in a second minimized displacement condition.

Abstract:
The invention concerns a control unit for at least one hydraulic consumer, the direction and speed of operation of the consumer being controlled by means of a distributor valve (14). Two lines (21, 22) lead from the distributor valve (14) to the consumer, each consumer line being connected by means of a distributor-valve piston (15) and a calibrated orifice (30) to a pump (85) and hence a reservoir. Each consumer line has a throttle valve (23) with a control piston (34). The aim of the invention is to be able to keep the consumer in a particular position without loss of hydraulic fluid. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the throttle-valve (23) control piston (34) is located downstream of the distributor-valve piston (15) and the calibrated orifice (30) in the line (21, 22). A valve seat (35) is acted on by the control piston (34). The front of the control piston (34) has a first pressure surface (36) which is acted on, to open the throttle valve (23), by the pressure in the respective consumer line (21, 22) downstream of the distributor valve (14) and the calibrated orifice (30), the rear of the control piston (14) has a second pressure surface (41) which is acted on, to close the throttle valve (23), by a control pressure generated only by the load in the position of rest of the distributor valve (15), and the front of the control piston has a third pressure surface (40) which is acted on, to open the throttle valve (23), by the load pressure in the respective consumer line (21, 22) between the throttle valve (23) and the consumer. When the pressure is released in the respective consumer line (21, 22) to the reservoir, the pressure acting on the second pressure surface (41) is reduced.
