  • Patent number: 10927867
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a work machine having at least one hydraulic actuator for actuating a piece of working equipment and having a first displacement unit that is driven by a drive assembly of the work machine and that feeds the hydraulic actuator with hydraulic medium from a hydraulic tank, wherein at least one second displacement unit is provided that is driven by the drive assembly and that feeds the hydraulic actuator and/or further hydraulic consumers with hydraulic medium from a hydraulic tank in the working mode and that is drivable during a recovery mode by the hydraulic volume displaced by the at least one hydraulic actuator or by a hydraulic consumer to feed kinetic energy back to the drive assembly.

  • Patent number: 10773629
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a construction machine having at least one material receiver that is adjustable by means of at least one hydraulic actuator for unloading, with the required feed pressure for the actuator actuation being able to be provided by a hydraulic circuit of the construction machine and with the feed pressure being able to be limited to a limit pressure by means of at least one pressure limiting device, wherein the construction machine comprises a weighing system for determining the current load weight of the material receiver; and a control for the hydraulic circuit is provided that adapts the limit pressure of the pressure limiting device in dependence on the determined load weight.

  • Patent number: 9463783
    Abstract: A braking apparatus for work machines has at least two brakes, each having at least one braking circuit. The braking circuits can each be actuated via at least one control valve, and the control valves can be controlled independently of one another. A processing unit, by which the control valves can be controlled or regulated, an operating circuit, via which the braking circuits can be controlled or regulated manually, and at least one pressure supply are provided, and the control valves can be controlled or regulated under predetermined conditions by the processing unit.
