摘要:
The steerable wheels of a hydraulically driven vehicle are provided with auxiliary motors which are connected in parallel both with each other and with the motor which powers the main drive wheels. A selector valve permits the motors for the steerable wheels to be optionally connected and disconnected from the reversible, variable displacement main pump. Flow dividers in the hydraulic lines limit the maximum flow of fluid to any one hydraulic motor. The auxiliary motors are of the variable displacement type, enabling them to be destroked to neutral when disconnected from the main pump. Destroking to neutral eliminates energy loss due to the pumping of large quantities of hydraulic fluid through a closed loop when the motors are driven by the wheels.

A pressure biased control valve holding the valve in the actuated position against the force of a return spring operating in connection with a linkage having a separate return spring and a loss motion connection to allow the valve and linkage to operate independently to the return position and assure the pressurized fluid in the valve maintains the valve in the actuating position regardless of pressure changes in the hydraulic system.
摘要:
A valve for dividing a fluid flow at an inlet port subject to variable flow volume into two fluid flows at first and second outlet ports having a substantially constant ratio of flow volumes, including first and second flow passages from the inlet port to the first and second outlet ports. Each flow passage includes a variable orifice the openings of which are varied by fluid pressures proportional to the fluid pressure acting on opposite ends of a spool valve. A normally closed valve is provided for permitting an increase in fluid flow through the first outlet port when the inlet fluid flow exceeds a predetermined pressure.

Hydraulic control.The unit is characterized in that it is provided, between an inlet well and an outlet well for pressurized fluid, with an obturator urged in the closed position by a resilient member arranged to act against the pressurized fluid in the inlet well in a chamber communicating with a conduit issued from the outlet well and separated from a return conduit by a relief valve which is urged in the closed position by a spring and by the fluid pressure prevailing in the inlet well.Application to transfer-machines with one single hydraulic station.

An improved pneumatic operating mechanism construction is provided including the usual stationary operating cylinder with a movable reciprocally-operable driving piston member movable therewithin, and having an extremely-fast pneumatic valve-device cooperable with a movable valve-sealing member attached to, and carried by, the driving side of the movable driving piston. Additionally, a valve-piston bore is provided internally within the stationary valve-housing member, within which reciprocally pneumatically operates the movable valve piston.An exhaust-port opening is provided being pneumatically communicating to the region interposed between the movable valve piston and the movable valve-sealing member, which is carried by the movable driving piston. The result is an extremely-fast valve action providing for high-pressure operating fluid, such as compressed air, for example, to be provided to the driving face of the movable driving piston.The return movement of the movable driving piston may be effected either by a return spring means, which is charged during the driving stroke of the movable driving piston, or, alternatively, by pneumatic means, if desired, providing high-pressure gas, for example, to the opposite non-driving face of the movable driving piston.
摘要:
A hydraulic control system for distributing pressure fluid to at least two systems, that is a first system including a first pump supplying pressure fluid through a first conduit to a first consumer and a second system including a second pump for supplying pressure fluid to a second conduit, in which a plurality of multiple position valves are arranged, each movable between a neutral position providing free flow of fluid through the second conduit and at least one working position respectively directing pressure fluid to the additional consumer respectively connected to said plurality of multiple position valves. A regulating valve is located in the first conduit and the second conduit is connected by a cross-conduit to the first conduit at a point upstream of the regulating valve therein. A bypass circuit in which a valve controlled by the fluid pressure in the second conduit is located leads from the second conduit to the inlet of the first pump so that when none of the additional consumers is actuated only a very small fluid stream passes through the second conduit and the multiple position valves to thereby reduce the energy losses.

More specifically, the invention includes a single lever control mechanism for controlling the operation of hydraulic cylinders and including a control housing, a manually operable lever, and a support member housed in the control housing and having a supporting surface. The single lever control mechanism also includes a pivot member rigidly connected to the lower end of the lever and supported on the supporting surface of the support member for rocking movement from a neutral position in a first pivotal direction and in a second pivotal direction transverse to the first direction. The control mechanism also includes a first cable attached to one side of the pivot member and being adapted to be operably connected to a first hydraulic cylinder for actuating that hydraulic cylinder in response to pivotal movement of the lever and the pivot member in the first direction. The control member also includes a second cable attached to another side of the pivot member, transverse to the one side of the pivot member, and being adapted to be operably connected to a second hydraulic cylinder for actuating that hydraulic cylinder in response to pivotal movement of the lever and the pivot member in the second direction.
摘要:
The inflow of fluid from a motor driven pump is divided into two flow streams at a flow rate ratio selectively adjusted through a manually actuated flow divider valve. The adjusted flow rate ratio is maintained constant by a pressure control device within two outflow conduits interconnected by secondary throttling branches to regulate pressure as a function of outflow rates.
摘要:
A feathering valve system for modulating the fluid inflow to a selected one of first and second chambers of a movable biased assembly. A controller is electrically coupled to a first and second solenoid operated pilot valve assemblies for selectively (1) maintaining the pilot valve assemblies in a valve closed state without bleed flow through the pilot orifices or (2) supplying a predetermined value electrical signal to either, but not both, of the valve assemblies for actuating one of the assemblies to an open position related to the value of the signal. Fluid under a substantially constant pilot pressure is applied under the poppets of both valve assemblies. Fluid flow is taken from above the poppet of an actuated valve assembly to a respective chamber whereby the movable assembly moves to a position which is a function of the actuating signal value.
摘要:
A contact free device for limiting the relative movement of hydraulically actuated members in which the device includes a proximity switch actuated at each limit position of the members and which interrupts the supply of hydraulic actuating fluid to the members. The supply of fluid to the members is resumed when movement of the members relatively away from the respective limit position is initiated.
