    摘要: Fluid from two pumps is allocated to a plurality of hydraulic actuators based on a plurality of flow commands, each specifying a desired amount of flow to be applied to a different hydraulic actuator. For a given hydraulic actuator, the allocation involves (1) determining an apportionment of the desired amount of flow, if no other hydraulic actuator is active, and (2) altering the apportionment in response to all the plurality of flow commands, and (3) using the altered apportionment to determine a first amount of the flow for one pump to provide and a second amount of the flow for the other pump to provide. The process is repeated for all the hydraulic actuators. Supply valves for each hydraulic actuator are controlled by the associated first and second amounts and each pump is controlled in response to either the first or second amounts for all the hydraulic actuators.

    摘要: A hydraulic system includes a first pump and a plurality of valves that control fluid flow from the first pump to several actuators. Variable source orifices in the control valves are connected in parallel between the first pump and a node, and variable bypass orifices in the control valves are connected in series between the node and a tank. Pressure at the node controls displacement of the first pump. Each control valve also has a metering orifice for varying fluid flow between the node and one of the actuators. A hydrostatic pump-motor, coupled between two ports of a given actuator, is driven in a motoring mode by fluid exiting one of those ports. In a pumping mode, the hydrostatic pump-motor forces lower pressure fluid exhausting from one port into the other port of the given actuator.

    摘要: A valve assembly couples a plurality of hydraulic actuators to a variable displacement pump and to a tank. A separate valve is associated with each hydraulic actuator and comprises a variable flow source orifice between the supply conduit and a summation node coupled to a pump control port, a variable metering orifice between the summation node and the associated hydraulic actuator, and a variable bypass orifice between the summation node and the tank. As a valve operates to enlarge the metering orifice, the flow source orifice also enlarges, and the bypass orifice shrinks. When the valve operates to shrink the metering orifice, the flow source orifice also shrinks and the bypass orifice enlarges. Those operations vary fluid flow in and out of the summation node, which alters pressure applied to the pump control, thereby causing the pump output to vary as required to drive the associated hydraulic actuator.

A position estimator determines the present position of each component from the load acting on the associated hydraulic actuator and a velocity command for the component. For each component, a function parameter estimator uses the present positions of the components to derive a set of parameters that include a static structure load that the components exert on the associated hydraulic actuator, acceleration and deceleration limits for both directions of component motion, and a control bandwidth for the associated hydraulic actuator.

    摘要: A method provides several modes for recovering hydraulic energy produced by an overrunning load acting on cylinders connected in parallel to a machine component. In one mode, fluid from first chambers in both cylinders is routed into the accumulator, while other fluid is directed into second chambers of those cylinders. In a different mode, fluid is routed from the first chamber of only one cylinder into the accumulator, and fluid from the first chamber of the other cylinder goes into the second chambers of both cylinders. Yet another mode comprises routing fluid from the first chambers of both cylinders into the second chambers of both cylinders. In still another mode, fluid from the first chambers of both cylinders goes into the return conduit while the second chambers of both cylinders receive fluid from a supply conduit. Several modes of reusing the recovered energy are described.

    摘要: A hydraulic circuit controls flow of fluid between first and second ports of a hydraulic actuator, such as a cylinder/piston arrangement and each of a supply conduit and a tank return conduit. The hydraulic circuit operates in standard powered operating modes as well as powered and unpowered regeneration modes. In a powered operating mode, a conventional pressure compensated spool valve determines the velocity of the hydraulic actuator. A workport blocking valve connects one workport of the spool valve to the first port and the other workport is connected to the second port. A regeneration shunt valve is directly connected between the first and second ports of the hydraulic actuator. In a regeneration operating mode or a mix of powered and regeneration modes, a combination of the spool valve, the workport blocking valve, and the regeneration shunt valve determines the velocity of the hydraulic actuator.

    摘要: A hydraulic system has an electrohydraulic valve that controls flow of fluid to operate a hydraulic actuator, such as a cylinder or motor. A set of characterization data is provided which describes performance of the electrohydraulic valve as a function of changes in differential pressure across that valve. The hydraulic system is operated by specifying desired movement of the hydraulic actuator and in response deriving a desired valve flow coefficient which designates a level of fluid flow through the electrohydraulic valve. A compensated control signal is produced from the desired valve flow coefficient and the characterization data, to counter act effects that changes in differential pressure have on flow of fluid. The electrohydraulic valve is activated in response to the compensated control signal.

    摘要: Pressure trapped in an inactive hydraulic actuator can result in the actuator moving in a direction which is opposite to that desired upon subsequent activation. The present method detects a trapped pressure condition and takes remedial action before activating the hydraulic actuator for motion. The pressure differentials across valves that control the fluid flow to and from the hydraulic actuator are used to detect a trapped pressure condition. In response to that detection, a selected valve is initially opened in a manner that releases the trapped pressure while producing motion in the desired direction. After the trapped pressure condition has been resolved, one or more other valves are operated to produce the desired motion of the hydraulic actuator.

    摘要: A hydraulic system has a valve assembly with two workports coupled to chambers of first and second cylinders which are connected mechanically in parallel to a machine component. A separation control valve is connected between first chambers of both cylinders, and a shunt control valve is connected between the workports. A recovery control valve couples an accumulator to the first chamber of the second cylinder. Opening and closing the valves in different combinations routes fluid from one or both cylinders into the accumulator where the fluid is stored under pressure, and thereafter enables stored fluid to be used to power one or both cylinders. The shunt control valve is used to route fluid exhausting from one chamber of each cylinder to the other chambers of those cylinders. Thus the hydraulic system recovers and reuses energy in various manners.
