  • Publication number: 20140236433
    Abstract: A power-split transmission for a traction drive includes a hydraulic power branch and a further power branch. In order to control a velocity, a displacement volume of a hydraulic pump of the hydraulic power branch is configured to be adjusted by a hydraulic actuating device. For the purpose of adjustment, a control pressure medium can be applied to the actuating device by a control valve. An additional pressure-control device is configured to be used to set a control pressure of the control pressure medium to a setpoint value which is dependent on a drive range of the transmission or of the traction drive.

  • Patent number: 8112211
    Abstract: A method and device for controlled braking of a vehicle using a hydrostatic drive is provided. Two pivotal hydraulic motors are connected to a respective axle of the drive, driven by a hydraulic pump and regulated by a respective regulating circuit. For each axle of the drive, a respective reference variable containing the difference between a set value and the actual value of a speed of the driven wheel is continuously determined and fed back to the respective regulating circuit. A displacement of the axle load of the vehicle from a current deceleration (a) of the vehicle is dynamically determined. A resultant braking force acting on the axle driven by the hydraulic motor is determined and put into effect by the hydraulic motor through adjusting a corresponding pivot angle. A deceleration-dependent distribution of the braking force is then provided to the respective axle by a control program.
