Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a hydraulic system including a reversing pump which has two delivery connections via which a hydraulic medium can be delivered from a tank in opposite delivery directions in order to hydraulically actuate an actuating element and supply a cooling and/or lubricating system. The hydraulic system also includes a valve assembly via which an actuating piston in a double-acting actuating cylinder can be supplied with hydraulic medium. A first delivery connection of the reversing pump is fluidly connected to a first pressure connection of the double-acting actuating cylinder. A second delivery connection of the reversing pump is fluidly connected to a second pressure connection of the double-acting actuating cylinder. The actuating piston is mechanically coupled to a valve piston of a valve, and the valve piston is mechanically coupled to a locking device and to the actuating element.
Abstract:
A hydraulic system comprises: a hydraulic pump that includes an swash plate; an swash plate angle sensor for measuring the angle of the swash plate; an swash plate driving piston for moving the swash plate of the hydraulic pump in response to changes in pressure applied to a large diameter section; an swash plate control hydraulic line for supplying the large diameter section with a portion of the hydraulic oil discharged by the hydraulic pump; a control valve that controls the flow rate of the hydraulic oil that is following into and out of the large diameter section; an electro-proportional pressure reducing valve for producing pilot pressure that is to be transmitted to one side of the control valve; and a control device for controlling the electro-proportional pressure reducing valve according to an operation signal of an operation device and the angle information from the swash plate angle sensor.
Abstract:
A robotic device may traverse a path in a direction of locomotion. Sensor data indicative of one or more physical features of the environment in the direction of locomotion may be received. The implementation may further involve determining that traversing the path involves traversing the one or more physical features of the environment. Based on the sensor data indicative of the one or more physical features of the environment in the direction of locomotion, a hydraulic pressure to supply to the one or more hydraulic actuators to traverse the one or more physical features of the environment may be predicted. Before traversing the one or more physical features of the environment, the hydraulic drive system may adjust pressure of supplied hydraulic fluid from the first pressure to the predicted hydraulic pressure.
Abstract:
A construction machine having an actuator that is driven by a working fluid includes a state value detection unit that detects a state value indicating an operating condition of the actuator, a mode determination unit that determines an operating mode by comparing the state value with a determination condition value, and a condition value setting unit that modifies the determination condition value on the basis of a comparison result of the mode determination unit. The condition value setting unit sets the determination condition value such that the determination condition value is increased when the state value falls below the determination condition value and decreased when the state value rises above the determination condition value.
Abstract:
A flow divider assembly for use with a hydraulic pump provides flow to separate drive motors for use in a vehicle or other application. Flow may be provided alternatively to a first fluid side and second fluid side. A first and a second flow divider motors are in hydraulic communication with an output of a shuttle valve. A first bypass valve is connected to the first fluid side and a second bypass valve is connected to the second fluid side, and both bypass valves have an open position and a closed position. A pilot operated valve is operably connected to both flow divider motors and to both bypass valves, and the pilot operated valve has three positions and is biased to a first position. One embodiment permits the output of the system to be driven in either forward or reverse directions.
Abstract:
An automatic transmission for a hybrid vehicle comprising a first hydraulic pressure supply source driven with an internal combustion engine; a second hydraulic pressure supply source driven independently of the first supply source; and a regulator valve regulating hydraulic pressure produced by the supply sources. A first oil passage supplying line pressure regulated by the regulator valve to a hydraulic servo operating a friction engagement element; a second oil passage supplying hydraulic pressure discharged from the regulator valve to a lubricated portion via an oil cooler; and a thud oil passage merged with the second oil passage at a point downstream of the oil cooler supplying the hydraulic pressure of the second supply source to the lubricated portion. A first reverse flow prevention mechanism is disposed between the oil cooler and the merging point to prevent reverse flow of hydraulic pressure.
Abstract:
A spool valve of the type wherein a flexible sealing member on a movable spool valves the flow of fluid through a port in the form of a narrow annular gap extending circumferentially around the spool chamber. The port is formed by a stack of three interfitting elements, including a pair of annular elements having opposed circular internal edges that form the respective edges of the port, and an annular locator which spaces the two port edge-forming elements apart and at the same time aligns them axially. Movement of the sealing member relative to the spool which carries it enables a ''''snap action'''' valving to take place as the sealing member moves across the port.
Abstract:
An operator''s control lever which is shifted to actuate a hydraulic motor is returned to the initial position to stop the motor after a preselected amount of travel of a element driven by the motor. A fluidic circuit has means producing digital signals indicative of successive increments of travel of the element and has a counter for storing any preselected number of such signals. When the selected count is reached, a kick-out means manipulates the operator''s control lever to stop further operation of the motor. The count required to stop the motor, and thus the amount of travel of the element, may be changed by turning of a control knob. The system is applicable, for example, to limiting movement of the lift arms of a loader vehicle.
Abstract:
Apparatus and methods for metering fluid to a fluid actuator. An example apparatus may include a hydraulic actuator, a fluid chamber, and a hydraulic directional control valve. The fluid chamber may include a piston slidably movable between first and second ends of the fluid chamber and dividing the chamber into first and second chamber portions. The hydraulic directional control valve may direct a fluid from a fluid source into the first chamber portion to cause a volume of fluid to be discharged out of the second chamber portion into the hydraulic actuator to actuate the hydraulic actuator by a distance corresponding to the volume of fluid received by the hydraulic actuator.
