  • Patent number: 12264583
    Abstract: A hydraulic system, rock drilling rig, and method for limiting the output performance of a hydraulic drilling actuator temporarily under execution of a safety function feature of the hydraulic system. The output performance is limited by limiting produced hydraulic fluid flow in a hydraulic circuit of the hydraulic drilling actuator, whereby a restricted magnitude of the fluid flow is produced at a hydraulic pump. This way a restricted operation mode is enabled and is controlled by a control unit.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 1, 2025
    Assignee: Sandvik Mining and Construction Oy

  • Publication number: 20240352954
    Abstract: A hydraulic system, mining vehicle, and method for flushing a closed loop hydraulic circuit is provided. The hydraulic system includes at least one closed hydraulic circuit having a hydraulic pump, a motor and one or more hydraulic actuators. The hydraulic system further includes a flushing system arranged for discharging and feeding a limited amount of hydraulic fluid for flushing the closed loop hydraulic circuit. There is a discharge valve, which is actively controlled by a control unit so that fluid flow through the valve is selectively controlled.
