Abstract:
A hydraulic circuit may be provided. The circuit may include: a pump to supply pressurized fluid to a circuit; a supply passageway coupled between the pump and the circuit; a relief flow passageway coupled between the supply passageway and a fluid reservoir; a relief flow capture circuit coupled to the relief flow passageway, the relief flow capture circuit including: a first valve configured to move from a closed position to an open position when a first pressure is detected; a second valve in fluid communication with the first valve, the second valve configured to move from a closed position to an open position when a second pressure is detected wherein the second pressure is lower than the first pressure; and an accumulator located between the first and second valves and in fluid communication with both the first and second valves, the accumulator configured to store fluid flowing through the first valve when the first pressure valve is in an open position, the accumulator further configured to outflow fluid through the second valve when the second valve is in an open position.
Abstract:
A hydraulic control system includes a swing control valve between a pump and a swing motor to control flow to/from the swing motor, and a selector valve between an accumulator and the swing motor to regulate fluid flow. A controller is configured to receive inputs indicative of the pressure differential between the accumulator and conduit between the pump and swing motor, and a swing motor command, calculate a target swing motor flow based on the swing motor command input, and modulate operation of the swing control valve and the selector valve to regulate a swing speed.
