Patent number: 9920778Abstract: A valve (10) for the temperature-dependent control of at least one hydraulic load includes a valve housing (12) with a tank connection (T), a working connection (A), and a supply connection (P). A control piston (30) controls the connections (A, P, T), is moveable in the valve housing (12) and is preloaded by a working spring (74). A thermal element (62) can be supplied with a fluid at a specifiable temperature (TFIuid) and is actively coupled to the control piston (30). The control piston can be moved by control pressure present at the supply connection (P). The thermal element (62) interacts with the working spring (74) such that the thermal element causes a temperature-dependent change of the preload force acting on the control piston (30).Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2013Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: HYDAC DRIVE CENTER GMBHInventor: Ralf Bosch

Patent number: 9664184Abstract: An axial piston pump has a swash-plate construction, in particular for hydraulic systems. A cylinder drum (3) can be rotationally driven about a rotational axis (7) in a pump housing (1). Pistons (9) are axially displaceable and support at their actuation ends a swash plate (15). The swash plate can be pivoted by an adjusting device (21) to the desired angles of inclination relative to the rotational axis (7) for adjusting the stroke of the pistons (9) and the fluid pressure generated. The adjusting device has an adjusting piston (35) in a hydraulically actuated adjusting cylinder (31). Their movement can be transmitted to the swash plate (15) by a driven connection having a pivot joint (37, 39; 29, 43). The pivot joint is formed by a ball joint (37, 39) arranged between the piston (35) and the piston rod (41) of the adjusting cylinder (31).Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2014Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: HYDAC DRIVE CENTER GMBHInventors: Ralf Bosch, Manuel Kronpass

Publication number: 20160076525Abstract: The invention relates to an axial piston swash plate pump, in particular for hydraulic systems, comprising a cylinder drum (1) which can be rotationally driven about an axis (15) in a pump housing (7), in which pistons (21) are arranged in an axially displaceable manner supporting, by means of the actuation end thereof (31) which is accessible from the outside of the cylinder drum (1), at least indirectly a swash plate (3), said swash plate being pivotable to the desired angles of inclination with respect to the axis (15) in order to adjust the stroke of the piston (21) and also the fluid system pressure generated thereby. Said swash plate (3) is mounted, for the pivotable movements thereof, on the pump housing (7) by means of a swash plate bearing (39, 41); characterized in that a supply device (5), which enables a fluid which is at a system pressure to travel at least to the swash plate bearing (39, 41), is provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2014Publication date: March 17, 2016Inventor: Ralf BOSCH

Patent number: 8682503Abstract: A mobile interface for controlling a plurality of vehicle functions in a motor vehicle using a controller connected to the vehicle, having a wireless data interchange with a controller, an input apparatus, and an energy store. By virtue of the wireless data interchange being connected to a data processing unit integrated in the mobile interface and which is designed to apply at least one cryptological method, a greater scope of functions becomes possible that can also include control of safety-relevant vehicle functions.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2010Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Ralf Bosch, Gerhard Rombach
