  • Patent number: 11572670
    Abstract: A control arrangement for an arrangement of hydraulically couplable machines has an interface for hydraulic coupling of the machines, and a hydraulic machine for supplying pressure medium to at least one hydraulic consumer of the machines in accordance with requirements. An electronic control device is configured, in accordance with a load of the consumer, to generate an electronic control signal, which can be converted by a transducer of the control arrangement into a hydraulic control signal, in accordance with which the hydraulic machine can be operated.

  • Patent number: 11353110
    Abstract: A hydrostatic axial piston pump has adjustable swept volume and is configured for fluidic connection to a hydraulic motor of a hydrostatic propulsion drive in a hydraulic circuit. The hydrostatic axial piston pump includes an adjusting unit configured to adjust the swept volume. The adjusting unit has an actuating cylinder with a first actuating pressure chamber, in which a first actuating pressure can be set via a first pressure reducing valve. The first actuating pressure is dependent on a first current at a first electromagnet of the first pressure reducing valve. An electronic control device is configured to store a model of the first current in a manner which is dependent on a requested speed.

  • Patent number: 11261962
    Abstract: A hydrostatic travel drive includes a hydraulic pump for the purpose of supplying pressure medium to a hydraulic motor of the travel drive that can be coupled to an output, which pump can be coupled to a drive machine. The hydraulic pump has an actuating cylinder with at least one cylinder chamber and a swept volume which can be adjusted via the actuating cylinder, and at least one electrically activatable pressure valve via which the cylinder chamber can be charged with an adjustingly active actuating pressure. The travel drive further includes device via which a pressure of the hydraulic pump can be limited by means of influencing the actuating pressure.

  • Patent number: 10907713
    Abstract: A transmission arrangement for a travel drive, in particular a mobile machine, includes a first hydraulic machine configured to be coupled to a drive machine, and a second hydraulic machine having an adjustable second expulsion volume, the second hydraulic machine configured to be connected fluidically to the first hydraulic machine via a first working line and a second working line of the transmission arrangement. The second hydraulic machine configured to be coupled or is coupled to a manual transmission of the transmission arrangement. The manual transmission has at least two transmission stages, and coupling of the second hydraulic machine to the manual transmission has the result that a torque can be transmitted. The transmission arrangement further includes a control apparatus configured to reduce to zero or to nearly zero the second expulsion volume at least during a changeover from one transmission stage to another transmission stage of the manual transmission.

  • Publication number: 20200003206
    Abstract: A hydrostatic axial piston pump for a hydrostatic traction drive has an adjusting unit for adjusting the stroke volume. The adjusting unit has an actuating cylinder with two counteracting actuating pressure chambers. An actuating pressure can be set in each actuating pressure chamber via a separate pressure reducing valve, the said actuating pressure depending on and preferably being proportional to a current intensity on a respective solenoid of the respective pressure reducing valve. The two current intensities can be calculated via an electronic control unit on a model basis as a function of a speed and of an operating pressure of the axial piston pump and as a function of an operating element for a driver's request, e.g. an accelerator pedal.

  • Publication number: 20200003303
    Abstract: A hydrostatic traction drive includes a hydraulic pump for supplying pressure medium to a hydraulic motor of the traction drive. The hydraulic pump has an actuation cylinder with at least one cylinder space and a swept volume which can be adjusted thereby. At least one electrically actuable pressure valve is provided, by means of which an actuation pressure which has an adjusting effect can be applied to the cylinder space. In addition, the traction drive has a device by means of which a pressure of the hydraulic pump can be limited by influencing the actuation pressure.
