Publication number: 20220168801Abstract: The invention relates to a hold-down device for a joining drive and joining drive with a hold-down device. The hold-down device includes a hold-down cylinder, wherein the hold-down cylinder provides a hold-down force by means of a pressurized chamber. The pressure chamber consists of the hold-down cylinder and a punch of the joining drive. The pressurization required for the provision of the hold-down force is provided by a hydraulic circuit of the joining drive. In the joining mode, the pressure chamber of the hold-down device is connected to a pressure accumulator of the hold-down device, so that a change in volume in the pressure chamber of the hold-down device has no noticeable influence on the pressure in the pressure chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2022Publication date: June 2, 2022Applicant: Voith Patent GmbHInventor: Bert Brahmer

Patent number: 11002266Abstract: A method for regulating output pressure of a hydraulic drive system by using a rotational speed as the actuating variable. The method includes determining a setpoint rotational speed main component of motor drive as a pilot control signal, determining an error rotational speed as a regulating deviation from a comparison of an actual pressure value of the hydraulic drive system and a setpoint pressure value of the hydraulic drive system and adjoining regulating amplifier, adding the determined setpoint rotational speed main component to the determined error rotational speed to create the setpoint rotational speed as the actuating variable, and converting the created setpoint rotational speed into an input rotational speed of the motor drive to drive the hydraulic drive system at the converted rotational speed in order to generate regulated output pressure of the hydraulic drive system which represents actual pressure value.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Voith Patent GmbHInventor: Bert Brahmer
