  • Publication number: 20070151236
    Abstract: The invention relates to a total power regulation device for two pumps (2, 42), each of which is connected to a working conduit (5, 45). The delivery volume of the pumps (2, 42) can be set separately by a respective adjusting device (6, 46), whereby a control pressure that is active in each adjusting device (6, 46) can be set by a total power regulation valve (18, 58). The latter (18, 58) has a measuring surface (24, 64) of the total power regulation valve (18, 58) of one pump (2, 42) can be directly exposed to the working pressure of the other pump (42, 2).

  • Patent number: 7201245
    Abstract: A hydrostatic power train includes a hydraulic pump, which is connected, via a first main pipe and a second main pipe, to a first hydromotor unit driving a front axle and to a second hydromotor unit driving a rear axle. The first and second hydromotor units can be adjusted in terms of their displacement via a first and second variation device. A direction of travel is defined as forward movement (F) or reverse movement (R) by a position of an operating lever. The first and the second variation devices are controlled by a control valve which takes up a first control position upon a forward movement (F) determined by the position of the operating ever and which takes up a second control position upon reverse movement (R) determined by the position of the operating lever and which takes up a second control position upon reverse movement (R) determined by the operating lever.

  • Patent number: 7171887
    Abstract: The invention relates to a regulating device for hydrostatic piston machines consisting of an actuating piston (2) which can be removed between two end positions which can be impinged upon by actuating pressure exerted thereon in an opposite direction. An actuating pressure regulating valve (5) is used to regulate the actuating pressure. The actuating regulating valve (5), which is used to regulate the actuating pressure, comprises a regulating piston which can be shifted from a neutral position and which can be impinged upon with a regulating force which is dependent on the position of the actuating piston (2). The regulating force is directed counter to a control force acting upon the regulating piston (6) and the regulating force is zero when the regulating device (1) is in a rest position. When the regulating device (1) is in a rest position, the regulating piston (6) is in a neutral position and the actuating piston (2) is a specific end position.

  • Patent number: 7163078
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrostatic drive comprising at least one hydraulic pump (1) and a first and a second hydraulic motor (6, 25), which are respectively connected to said hydraulic pump (1) by means of two service lines (4, 41, 5, 5?) and whose absorption volume can be regulated by means of a regulator (40, 41). One respective hydraulic motor (6, 25) for a drive train is provided per respective right or left vehicle side. The regulators (40, 41) are actuated by a respective regulator piston (7, 26). The regulator pistons (7, 26) of both hydraulic motors (6, 25) can be subjected to a force by means of a common high pressure, which equals the highest pressure that prevails in the service lines (4, 41, 5, 5?) of both hydraulic motors (6, 25). Each force is opposed to a respective counter-force, which is generated by a control pressure in a control pressure chamber (11, 11?).

  • Patent number: 7131630
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromagnet for actuating a valve. To this end, the electromagnet (28) comprises an armature (58), which can be axially displaced in an armature space (57, 77) and whose axial motion displaces a tappet (29) to the valve. The electromagnet is provided with reflux channel (71.1), which is connected to the armature space (57, 77) and via which the armature space (57, 77) is connected to a tank volume (25) in order to lead away a pressure medium leakage flow that is flowing out of the valve and into the armature space (57, 77).

  • Patent number: 7044442
    Abstract: The invention relates to a valve block (1) for a control device comprising a valve (9) whose valve piston (14) is subjected to the action of a control pressure when in its open position and to the action of a return spring (15) when in its closed position. The closing force of the return spring (15) can be decreased or increased by an actuator, which can be displaced toward a position that increases the closing force and one that decreases the closing force. In order to simplify the displacement or adjustment and to improve reliability, the displacing movement of the actuator (16a) in the direction of movement that increases the closing force of the return spring (15) is limited by a stop element (112) in a position in which the closing force of the return spring (15) reaches its limited maximum value.

  • Publication number: 20060054376
    Abstract: The invention concerns a control for a hydrostatic power train (1) comprising a hydraulic pump (2) which is connected, via a first main pipe and a second main pipe (7, 8), to a first hydromotor unit (5, 5?) driving a front axle and to a second hydromotor unit (6, 6?) driving a rear axle. The first and second hydromotor units (5, 5?, 6, 6?) can be adjusted in terms of their displacement via a first and a second variation device (30, 31, 30?, 31?) respectively. A direction of travel is defined as forward movement (F) or reverse movement (R) by a position of an operating lever (37). The first and the second variation devices (30, 31, 30?, 31?) are controlled by a control valve (32, 32?) which takes up a first control position upon a forward movement (F) determined by the position of the operating lever (37) and which takes up a second control position upon reverse movement (R) determined by the operating lever (37).

  • Publication number: 20060043787
    Abstract: The invention relates to a regulator device (1) for a hydraulic pump which pumps into at least one working pipe (13), and to a valve unit for said pump. The pumping volume of the hydraulic pump (1) is regulated with the aid of a regulator device (15, 19) exposed to a regulating pressure which is regulated by an adjusting valve (26) in conformity to a first and a second pressure. The first pressure passes through a first pressure pipe (38) and acts on a first measuring surface, the second pressure passes through a second pressure pipe (39) and acts on a second pressure surface opposite to the first surface of the adjusting valve (26), the first pressure being higher than the second pressure. Said invention is characterized in that a pressure chamber (45) is arranged between the first and second measuring surfaces, thereby forming a discharge channel towards the second pressure pipe (39).
