    摘要: A swing drive system for an excavator is provided which utilizes a prime mover mechanically connected to a first hydraulic pump/motor and a second hydraulic pump/motor mechanically connected to a swing mechanism. The system includes a hydraulic circuit connecting a hydraulic fluid reservoir, a hydraulic accumulator, the first hydraulic pump/motor, and the second hydraulic pump/motor. The system is operable in one mode where the second hydraulic pump/motor acts as a pump to retard movement of the swing mechanism and pressurized hydraulic fluid from the second hydraulic pump/motor is pumped into the hydraulic accumulator. The system is operable in another mode where the pressurized fluid from the hydraulic accumulator is used to assist the prime mover in driving hydraulic consumers, including the swing drive.

    摘要: A control system for a working machine that includes a power consumer (14) includes a prime mover (12), an energy storage unit (24) for storing energy, an auxiliary power unit (20) for generating power or consuming power, the auxiliary power unit (20) having a first connection (20a) coupled to the prime mover (12) and a second connection couplable to the energy storage unit (24). A controller (18) operatively coupled to the prime mover (12) and operatively couplable to the power consumer (14) is configured to estimate a required power of the power consumer (14), and to command the prime mover (14) to operate at an optimal operating point that produces the estimated required power. Based on a relationship between power output capability of the prime mover and power consumption of the power consumer, the controller (18) is configured to at least one of command that excess power capacity from the prime mover be provided to the auxiliary power unit for storage in the energy storage unit, or command that energy stored in the energy storage unit be provided to the auxiliary power unit to drive the power consumer.

    摘要: A swing drive system (11) for an excavator is provided which utilizes a prime mover (20) mechanically connected to a first hydraulic pump/motor (30) and a second hydraulic pump/motor (32) mechanically connected to a swing mechanism (70). The system includes a hydraulic circuit (31) connecting a hydraulic fluid reservoir (42), a hydraulic accumulator (40), the first hydraulic pump/motor (30), and the second hydraulic pump/motor (32). The system is operable in one mode where the second hydraulic pump/motor acts as a pump to retard movement of the swing mechanism and pressurized hydraulic fluid from the second hydraulic pump/motor is pumped into the hydraulic accumulator. The system is operable in another mode where the pressurized fluid from the hydraulic accumulator is used to assist the prime mover in driving hydraulic consumers (62,64,66), including the swing mechanism.
