  • Patent number: 11648492
    Abstract: A device for degassing and/or dehydrating a hydraulic oil includes a flow lance, a flow duct, and a decoupling module. The flow lance includes a restriction site via which the hydraulic oil flows under a high pressure drop. The flow duct is configured as a pipe that is located downstream of the restriction site. The quantity of oil that flows via the restriction site and a throughflow cross section of the restriction site are coordinated to one another such that a cavitation zone or supercavitation zone forms downstream of the restriction site. The flow duct has a significantly larger cross section with respect to the throughflow cross section of the restriction site. For a quiet operation of the device, the flow lance is held in the decoupling module via which the flow lance is configured to be fastened in a vibration-decoupled manner to a tank.

  • Patent number: 9803748
    Abstract: A hydraulic arrangement for supplying a consumer or actuator includes a first supply device that has at least one pump with an adjustable delivery volume. The hydraulic arrangement further includes a second supply device that is connected in parallel to the first supply device. The second supply device includes a loadable accumulator and a digitally regulated switching valve arrangement.

  • Patent number: 9261198
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for actuating a hydraulic valve arrangement, having a hydraulic continuously adjustable valve and having a hydraulic switching valve for providing a variable opening cross section, wherein an opening cross section threshold value is predefined, wherein, above the opening cross section threshold value, the switching valve is placed into a defined switching position and only the continuously adjustable valve is actuated, and wherein, below the opening cross section threshold value, the continuously adjustable valve is placed into a defined switching position and only the switching valve is actuated.

  • Patent number: 9157461
    Abstract: A digital hydraulics valve includes a plurality of digitally switchable individual valves, which are connected in parallel with respect to a load, and at least one equalizing valve for generating intermediate values between the opening cross-section stages that can be implemented by the digitally switchable individual valves. The equalizing valve is a poppet valve, which provides a partial opening cross-section smaller than the nominal opening cross-section thereof by actuation using a time switching pattern. The time switching pattern is preferably based on the principle of a pulse width modulation. The equalizing valve is further preferably a valve selected from the plurality of individual valves of the digital hydraulics valve.
