Patent number: 5333450Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting the pressure of working fluid provided to the load or user via a hydraulically actuatable control valve is provided. The apparatus includes a comparator that compares a given or desired control pressure for the control valve with the predominant present load pressure. The resulting pressure differential is used to re-adjust the control valve or to re-adjust a pressure compensator positioned upstream of the control valve with respect to the direction of the flow of working fluid flowing to the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1992Date of Patent: August 2, 1994Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventors: Herbert Blendinger, Gunter Fertig, Armin Stellwagen

Patent number: 5315828Abstract: The present invention relates to a valve assembly for the supply of users in hydraulic control systems with pressurized fluid for the load pressure (LS) independent control of several simultaneously actuated hydraulic users wherein the ratio of the partial flows once set is maintained at undersupply of the system with the pressurized fluid. When the demand of the users exceeds the maximum output flow of the variable displacement pump, the (high) priority users receive the demanded quantity whereas the low priority users receive a reduced quantity by switching the control pressure for the low (i.e. no) priority users via a directional control valve and a pressure relief valve to a lower pressure level. Only when undersupply of the entire system occurs, i.e. when the maximum output flow of the variable displacement pump is no more sufficient despite the limitation of the control pressure for the low priority users, then the presently flowing partial flows of all users are reduced proportionally.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 1992Date of Patent: May 31, 1994Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventors: Armin Stellwagen, Walter Scandella

Patent number: 5182909Abstract: A valve system is provided for the load-independent control of a plurality of simultaneously operated hydraulic consumers, i.e. regardless of variations in load pressure. Fluid flow in a consumer line to each consumer passes across a compensating flow control valve, i.e. a compensator. The valve piston thereof being displaceable to the open position by a pressure downstream of a flowmeter against the opposing resistance offered by a spring and by the respective maximum load pressure of the consumers at a time. The actual highest load pressure is also available at a regulator for the common variable displacement supply pump feeding the consumers.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 1991Date of Patent: February 2, 1993Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventor: Armin Stellwagen

Patent number: 5138837Abstract: For a load independent control of a plurality of simultaneously actuable hydraulic users, a throttle valve (pressure compensator) is assigned to the control valve of each user at a location downstream with respect to the metering orifice formed by said control valves; said throttle valve is subjected in opening direction to the pump pressure and in closing direction, via a shuttle valve, either to a load pressure of the respective user or to a pressure which is determined by the highest load pressure occurring for one of said users. Said highest load pressure which is reported by a shuttle valve chain is supplied as control pressure to a pressure reducing valve, the input side thereof being connected with the pressure line of the pump and the output side thereof being connected to control lines leading to the throttle valves assigned to the individual control valves and to the control line for the pump control.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1991Date of Patent: August 18, 1992Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventors: Bernd Obertrifter, Armin Stellwagen

Patent number: 4856278Abstract: According to the parent patent on inadequate power of the delivery pump the flow rate set at the directional control valves for the consumers is reduced in equal proportions in that electrical signals proportional to the flow rates are supplied to a summation stage and the sum voltage is compared in a comparison stage with a limit value corresponding to the maximum pump delivery flow. When the limit value is exceeded a control signal is generated with which the stroke of all the driven directional control valves can be jointly reduced. According to the application of addition the signal voltage supplied to the summation stages and corresponding to the respective flow rate can be obtained in a displacement pickup associated with each directional control valve or in a pressure pickup measuring the pilot pressure if the directional control valves are not controlled electrically but hydraulically.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1987Date of Patent: August 15, 1989Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventors: Karlheinz Widmann, Norbert Kreth, Martin Schmitt, Armin Stellwagen

Patent number: 4850191Abstract: A pump supplies a plurality of consumers each via a directional control valve with pressure balance. When the pump delivery is not adequate, manifesting itself in a dropping of the pump pressure, the pressure balance of the consumer with the highest load pressure is displaced out of the end position of its regulating position into a further control position in which a control pressure line is connected via a throttle point to a discharge so that by means of the throttle point a control pressure is generated which is used for equiproportional reduction of the supply flow to the consumers. This is done either by reducing the stroke of the directional control valves or by acting on the pressure balances in the closure direction.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1987Date of Patent: July 25, 1989Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventors: Norbert Kreth, Martin Schmitt, Armin Stellwagen

Patent number: 4739617Abstract: A pump supplies via in each case a directional valve a plurality of consumers with fluid, a pressure balance for load-independent division of the pump displacement being provided between each branch line branching off the pump delivery line and the directional valve. In a pressure regulating valve common to all pressure balances a control pressure is generated from the pressure difference between the pump pressure and the respective highest consumer pressure and is applied to all the pressure balances so that when the pump power is inadequate a proportional quantity reduction at all consumers is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1986Date of Patent: April 26, 1988Assignee: Mannesmann Rexroth GmbHInventors: Norbert Kreth, Martin Schmitt, Armin Stellwagen
