    摘要: A method for storing and reutilizing energy during operation of a hydrostatic actuator (EHA) having a hydraulic cylinder, a first bidirectional pump-motor rotationally coupled to an electric motor, and EHA valving and connections between the first pump-motor and the hydraulic cylinder. During at least one of two motoring quadrants, a hydraulic accumulator is charged using a second pump-motor whose rotation is driven by load-driven motoring of the first bidirectional pump-motor. During at least one of the pumping quadrants, driven rotation is imparted to the second pump-motor using stored energy from the accumulator, and said driven rotation of the second pump-motor is used to augment powered rotation of the first bidirectional pump-motor by the electric motor.

    摘要: Disclosed is a conveying device for fluids with an inlet and an outlet and a conveying part which is connected therebetween and can be actuated by a drive part, wherein the conveying part has a fluid-tight media-separating device with a variable chamber volume, which becomes connected in a fluid-conducting manner via its receiving chamber to the inlet or the outlet, and which, by means of the drive part, receives fluid via the inlet as part of an intake stroke, increasing the chamber volume, and discharges the received fluid via the outlet as part of a discharge stroke, reducing the size of said chamber volume.

    摘要: Provided is a hydraulic machine. A pump pressurizes fluid using power provided by a power source. An actuator works using the pressurized fluid from the pump. A recovery part recovers energy from fluid discharged from the actuator. A first operator input device receives a desired input from operator to select an eco-mode or a boost mode. The recovery part includes an accumulator storing hydraulic energy by receiving the fluid discharged from the actuator and an assist unit assisting the power source using the hydraulic energy stored in the accumulator. The controller controls the pump such that output power of the pump does not exceed P1max when the eco-mode is selected or the assist unit does not assist the power source and that the output power does not exceed P2max when the boost mode is selected and the assist unit assists the power source, where P1max

    摘要: A hydraulic fluid pressure amplifier system includes a boost cylinder assembly, an energy storage device in fluid communication with the boost cylinder assembly, and a working cylinder assembly. The boost cylinder assembly is configured to selectively receive a plunger member into a boost cylinder, wherein movement of the plunger member received in the boost cylinder compresses a charge fluid within a blind side volume of the boost cylinder from a first fluid pressure to an amplified fluid pressure greater than the first pressure. The working cylinder assembly is selectively operable responsive to receiving a source hydraulic fluid having a nominal fluid pressure less than the amplified fluid pressure for effecting the movement of the plunger member into the boost cylinder. The energy storage device is operable to selectively receive and store a portion of the charge fluid compressed to the amplified fluid pressure.

    摘要: The present invention provides an accumulator (20) comprising a housing (21), an inner portion (23) within the housing, and a zone (27) defined between the housing and the inner portion for fluid communication with a driving fluid of a fluid-powered system whereby the inner portion is exposed to the driving fluid received within the zone. The inner portion comprises a resiliently deformable solid mass (31), wherein at least a portion of the mass is deformable in response to fluid pressure in the zone exceeding a prescribed level thereby to provide pressure relief. The deformable portion resiliently rebounds in response to fluid pressure in the zone returning to or falling below the prescribed level.
