  • Patent number: 8696323
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for determining the delivery rate of a liquid conveying device, in particular a concrete pump, wherein on the basis of measured values concerning the pressure of the liquid the number of the pump strokes of the concrete conveying device is determined, in particular substantially calculated, by series-connection of a plurality of filters with adaptive filter length and variable detection limits. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a liquid conveying device and to a construction vehicle with a liquid conveying device.

  • Patent number: 8480378
    Abstract: In a method and device for controlling a hydraulic drive system, in particular in a crane or construction machine, a closed hydraulic circuit has a hydraulic pump and motor in which depending upon a desired value (ndes) of an output parameter of the hydraulic circuit, an actuating signal (I) is generated for adjusting the hydraulic pump and/or motor. The actuating signal (I) is limited and/or reduced by a superordinate control module (6) depending on matching of a specified power value (P+; P?) with a current power value (PPu; PM) of the hydraulic pump and/or motor.

  • Patent number: 7395748
    Abstract: A hydraulic drive is described for displacing an actuator (7) between two predetermined end positions, comprising a piston unit (4) which can be pressurized in a cylinder unit (3) in opposite directions by way of hydraulic springs and a control device for alternating pressurization in opposite directions of the piston unit (4). In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the cylinder unit (3) comprises an end section (10) of smaller cross section than the remaining cylinder space (9) and receives in a sealing manner the respective face side (12) of the piston unit (4) in the associated end position, that the end sections (10) connected via a throttle (13) to a return line (14) for the hydraulic medium are delimited by a control edge (11) each relative to the remaining cylinder space (9), and that the control device consists of an actuating drive (28) for an axial relative movement of the control edge (11) relative to the face side (12) of the piston.

  • Publication number: 20070219694
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a method and a device for controlling a drive system, in particular a hydraulic traveling drive of a crane, a caterpillar, an industrial truck or a construction machine, which has at least one drive unit for an element to be driven. The invention on the one hand relates to a method, in which a desired value of an output parameter as well as a power limit value for the at least one drive unit are specified and in dependence on the specified desired value of the output parameter and the specified power limit value at least one actuating signal is provided for the at least one drive unit. The invention in particular relates to a method, in which at least two separate drive units are provided for a left drive wheel and a right drive wheel, wherein one desired speed each is provided for the two wheels and in dependence on the specified desired speeds at least one actuating signal is provided for the drive units.

  • Publication number: 20020092995
    Abstract: A fully variable hydraulic valve drive comprising a hydraulic drive unit which is acted upon with hydraulic fluid for opening and closing a valve wherein the drive unit of the valve in the closing or opening stroke movement acts on an intermediate storage means with hydraulic fluid under pressure, wherein this hydraulic fluid which is stored under pressure in the intermediate storage means then drives the drive unit of the valve again in the opposite stroke movement.
