  • Patent number: 11529839
    Abstract: A device together with an assigned working machine for decoupling vibrations between two systems (2, 4) in the form of spring-mass oscillators, of which one system (2) is assigned to a motion machine and the other system (4) is assigned to an operator operating the motion machine. The other system (4) at least partially performs motions about a transverse axis (Q) during driving motions of the motion machine and in doing so is subject to vertical motions in the direction of a vertical axis (z) at an absolute vertical speed (vz1,1) serving as an input variable of control devices and/or regulating devices. Those devices control a damping system (8) of the one system (2) and/or the other system (4) to compensate for the vibrations. The respective pitch motion of the other system (4) is detected by at least one rotation rate sensor. The respective measured value (?1) of the sensor, preferably amplified by only a predeterminable factor (L1), results in the absolute vertical speed (vz1,1) as input variable.

  • Patent number: 11378192
    Abstract: A valve, which is characterized in that between a neutral position (38) of a control spool (STS) and one of its end positions (34, 42) a regeneration position (36) is provided. In the regeneration position, two utility ports (A, B) are interconnected in a fluid-conveying manner, or a floating position (40) is provided, in which these utility ports (A, B) are interconnected in a fluid-conveying manner. A further valve is characterized in that by a further motion of the control spool (STS) in the same direction, as that, in which a fluid connection is established between the utility ports (A, B) starting from the neutral position (38), this fluid connection is interrupted.

  • Patent number: 11199272
    Abstract: A control device, for a hydraulic consumer (22) and susceptible to vibrations, includes a valve (24) having a control spool (40) controllable by an actuating device (46). The valve (24) has a pressure supply port (P), to which a pressure compensator valve can be connected, which can be supplied with pressure fluid from a pressure supply device. The actuating device (46) has a motor (74). A load-pressure-dependent force on the control spool (40) can be generated by a control device (66). That force at the control spool (40) acts on an electronic motor controller (208) of the DC motor (74), which detects a change of the force and acts as a damping of the vibrations of the consumer (22) against this change of force.

  • Patent number: 11168710
    Abstract: A control apparatus for supplying at least one hydraulic consumer with fluid has a variable displacement pump (10) controlled by a load-sensing pressure (LS). For a case-by-case increase in the volume flow in the supply of fluid (22) to the hydraulic consumer, the load-sensing pressure (LS) is passed via a control line (28) to a control circuit (2) that ensures the increase in the supply (22) by connecting in a constant-displacement pump (16) as soon as an operator calls for the relevant function by operating the control circuit (2).

  • Patent number: 11015723
    Abstract: A valve includes a valve housing (33), which has at least one service connection (A, B), a pressure supply connection (P) and a return connection (T). In the valve housing (33), a control slide (STS) is guided so as to be movable longitudinally to control these individual connections. The supply pressure, which is applied to the pressure connection (P) to control a consumer (10, 12), connected to the service connection (A; B), is guided across at least one control side (56) of the control slide (STS) via an orifice plate (54) and a control channel (50). The control side (56) is positioned in a control chamber (58) in the valve housing (33) such that it can move. The control chamber (58) is connected to the return connection (T) via an additional orifice plate (59).

  • Patent number: 11009051
    Abstract: A valve includes a valve housing (2) for transport of a heatable fluid such as hydraulic oil. The valve housing has at least one utility connection (A, B), at least one pressure supply connection (P), and at least one return connection (T1, T2). A control slide (6) is guided in the valve housing (2) in a longitudinally displaceable manner. In at least one position of the control slide (6), the pressure supply connection (P) is at least partially separated from the utility connection (A, B), and the heatable fluid arrives, proceeding from this pressure supply connection (P) and via a heat-emitting connection in the control slide (6), at the at least one return connection (TI, T2) as a loss volume flow. The loss volume flow serves as a heat source and heats at least regions of the control slide (6).
