    摘要: A hydraulic system includes a hydraulic circuit, a heater, a temperature sensor, and a controller. The hydraulic circuit includes a reservoir configured to store hydraulic fluid, a pump coupled to the reservoir, a driver positioned to drive the pump to pump the hydraulic fluid from the reservoir and throughout the hydraulic circuit, and an actuator positioned to selectively receive the hydraulic fluid from the pump to operate a controllable machine component. The driver is independent of a prime mover of the machine. The heater is positioned to facilitate selectively heating the hydraulic fluid. The temperature sensor is positioned to acquire temperature data indicative of a temperature of the hydraulic fluid. The controller is configured to monitor the temperature of the hydraulic fluid and selectively activate at least one of the heater or the pump to thermally regulate the hydraulic fluid to maintain the hydraulic fluid within a target temperature range.

    摘要: A hydraulic system includes a first output fluid tube connecting between a hydraulic pump to output operation fluid and a first operation valve to change a first pilot pressure of the operation fluid, a second output fluid tube connected between the hydraulic pump and a second operation valve to change a second pilot pressure of the operation fluid, a switching valve provided in the second output fluid tube, and a warm-up fluid tube connected between the first operation valve and the switching valve, wherein the switching valve is switched between a first position allowing the operation fluid to be drained through the first output fluid tube, the first operation valve, the warm-up fluid tube and the switching valve, and a second position allowing the operation fluid to be supplied through second output fluid tube to the second operation valve.

    摘要: A hydraulic system includes an output fluid tube connected to a hydraulic pump to output operation fluid, and an unload valve to be switched to output operation fluid or to stop outputting operation fluid, the unload valve being connected to the output fluid tube. The hydraulic system includes a hydraulic actuator to be actuated by operation fluid, a control valve to control operation fluid to be supplied to the hydraulic actuator with use of a pilot fluid that is operation fluid applied to a pressure-receiving portion of the control valve, a pilot fluid tube connected to the pressure-receiving portion of the control valve, an operation valve to change a pressure of the pilot fluid to be applied to the pilot fluid tube, and a warm-up fluid tube connected between the unload valve and the pilot fluid tube.

    摘要: An electric work vehicle includes a hydraulic actuator and a pump configured to supply hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator, with the pump being operable within an operating speed range extending between a minimum operating speed value and a maximum operating speed value. Furthermore, the electric work vehicle includes a sensor configured to capture data indicative of a temperature of the hydraulic fluid and a controller communicatively coupled to the sensor. As such, the controller is configured to monitor the temperature of the hydraulic fluid relative to a predetermined minimum fluid temperature as the pump is operating within the operating speed range. In addition, the controller is configured to adjust the operating speed range of the pump by increasing at least one of the minimum operating speed value or the maximum operating speed value when the monitored temperature of the hydraulic fluid falls below the predetermined minimum fluid temperature.
