  • Patent number: 8020485
    Abstract: Disclosed is a lifting gear valve arrangement for controlling a double-action lifting gear or an add-on unit with a continuously adjustable directional control valve and with an individual pressure compensator via which a pressure medium volume flow to and from a lifting cylinder of the lifting gear can be controlled. A proportionally adjustable pressure limiting valve is provided in the pressure medium flow path between an outlet connection of the directional control valve and a working connection of the lifting gear valve arrangement, via which the pressure inside this area can be limited to a maximum value. The adjustment of the pressure limiting valve is preferably performed as a function of the operating states of the lifting gear or of the type of add-on unit.

  • Patent number: 7997073
    Abstract: A hydraulic control system for controlling preferably at least two consumers, has a pump supplying the consumers with a pressure medium and having an adjustable pump capacity, an adjustable metering orifice assigned to each of the consumers, a power-beyond connection to which at least one power-beyond consumer is attachable, an inlet pressure scale connected downstream of the pump and provided in a pressure medium flow path between the pump and at least one of the two consumers, wherein the power-beyond connection branches off in the pressure medium flow path between the pump and the inlet pressure scale, a spring with a force acting upon the inlet pressure scale in a closing direction, an inlet having a pressure acting upon the inlet pressure scale in an opening direction, wherein the inlet pressure scale is configured so that it is actable upon in the closing direction selectively by either a highest load pressure or by a pressure that is greater than the highest load pressure.

  • Patent number: 7870728
    Abstract: The invention discloses a hydraulic control arrangement for controlling a number of consumers, particularly of a mobile working machine. In addition to the consumers of the control arrangement, an additional consumer should be able to be connected to a power beyond port. All consumers and power beyond consumers are supplied with hydraulic fluid by a pump. An input pressure scale is provided downstream of the pump, and the greater of the load pressures of the consumers or of the at least one power beyond consumer is applied to the control port of said input pressure scale.

  • Patent number: 7249554
    Abstract: What is disclosed is a hydraulic control arrangement for controlling a consumer, comprising a continuously adjustable directional control valve, an individual pressure compensator associated to the latter, as well as shut-off blocks arranged downstream from the directional control valve. In accordance with the invention, in the case of a insufficient supply of the consumer the pressure compensator is subjected not to the pressure in the supply (load pressure) but to a higher pressure, so that the control pressure difference at the supply control edge is raised.

  • Patent number: 7219591
    Abstract: What is disclosed is a hydraulic control arrangement for controlling a hydraulic consumer, comprising an adjustable supply measuring orifice and an adjustable drain measuring orifice as well as a pressure compensator arranged in a pressure medium delivery. The control arrangement moreover comprises a releasable cut-off block that acts as a check valve in the direction of supply and may be released in the direction of drain by means of a control pressure. In accordance with the invention, the pressure compensator is subjected to a constant force in the opening direction and to the lower one of the pressures downstream from the supply measuring orifice and upstream from the drain measuring orifice in the closing direction.

  • Publication number: 20060230753
    Abstract: Disclosed are a control arrangement for actuation of at least two hydraulic consumers, and a method for actuation of these consumers. The latter are supplied with pressure medium through the intermediary of a pump, wherein a respective meter-in orifice and a pressure compensator arranged downstream from the latter are provided between the consumers and the pump. In accordance with the invention, adjustment of the pump is performed in dependence on the target values to which the meter-in orifices are set.
