  • Publication number: 20250172131
    Abstract: A method with a hydraulic pressure medium supply arrangement for an open hydraulic circuit having a hydraulic machine, an adjusting mechanism, and an electronic control unit is disclosed. The method includes the steps of reading an actual value and a setpoint value associated therewith for hydraulic operating variables of the hydraulic machine into a first external control loop and determining the first manipulated variables resulting therefrom. In further steps of the method, the actual values and further setpoint values of the hydraulic operating variables are read into a second external control loop, compared with one another, and, on the basis thereof, at least one second manipulated variable is determined. Depending on the first and second manipulated variables, a setpoint adjustment speed is then determined as a manipulated variable for the adjusting mechanism. A hydraulic pressure medium supply arrangement which is designed to carry out the above method is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20230032780
    Abstract: A hydrostatic traction drive has a steering function, which is implemented via two laterally acting secondary units (traction motors), which are supplied by a common primary unit (pump) in the open circuit. The primary unit is pressure-controlled. The two secondary units are torque-controlled. The affected vehicle is steerable as a function of a steering command by different torque specifications for the two secondary units. Furthermore, a hydrostatic drive for a mobile work machine has working hydraulics in addition to the traction drive. The working hydraulics are also supplied by the primary unit in parallel to the two secondary units.

  • Patent number: 11220804
    Abstract: A hydraulic pressurizing medium supply assembly has an adjustable axial piston machine. An actuating cylinder is controlled by way of a pilot valve. The pilot valve is actuated by a control installation. The control installation, as input variables, has an actual pressure and/or an actual swivel angle of the adjustable axial piston machine. One or a plurality of the input variables are compared with a matching nominal value and a control value is emitted, or in each case a control value is emitted. The controlling of the input variables is part of a first closed-loop control circuit. An underlying second closed-loop control circuit has an input variable which is based on the control variable or the control variables and serves as a nominal variable. A further input variable of the second closed-loop control circuit is an actual delivery-volume adjustment rate of the axial piston machine.

  • Patent number: 11156239
    Abstract: A hydraulic pressurizing medium supply assembly having a hydro machine for supplying pressurizing medium of at least one hydraulic consumer, includes a hydraulic control block for controlling the at least one consumer, a first control module, and a second control module. The control block, by way of the first control module, is able to be controlled by at least one actuating signal. A data interface is included between the control modules. The first control module, by way of the data interface, as a further actuating signal transfers to the second control module as input variable/variables a nominal outlet pressure for the hydro machine and/or a nominal delivery volume for the hydro machine. The second control module by way of the nominal outlet pressure and/or by way of the nominal delivery volume controls an adjusting mechanism of the hydro machine by way of a valve actuating signal.
