Patent number: 12313068Abstract: The invention relates to an internal gear machine (10) having a housing (12) which forms a cavity (14) in which an internally toothed ring gear (18) and an externally toothed pinion (16) are arranged, the toothings (24, 26) of which are in meshing engagement with one another in certain regions and the axes of rotation (20, 22) of which run parallel to and spaced apart from one another, wherein at least one filler piece (30, 30?) rests against the first and second toothings (24, 26), which divides the cavity (14) into two fluidically separate regions. It is provided that the toothing (24, 26) is designed as helical toothing or arrow toothing.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: May 27, 2025Assignee: HYDRAULIK NORD TECHNOLOGIES GMBHInventors: Artur Bohr, Thomas Pippes

Patent number: 11905956Abstract: The application relates to an internal gear machine for reversing duty having a housing with a chamber, in the chamber there are disposed an externally toothed pinion and an internally toothed ring gear, which mesh with one another, the rotational axes of which run parallel to and spaced apart from one another. The chamber in the housing is axially bounded and is connected via pressure pockets provided in the housing to pressure connections in the internal gear machine. According to the invention, a switching valve is arranged in each connection between the pressure pockets and the pressure connections or compression spaces, which valve opens or closes the connection.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2021Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: HYDRAULIK NORD TECHNOLOGIES GMBHInventor: Thomas Pippes

Patent number: 11485410Abstract: A variable ratio hydraulic steering device with two or more orbit displacers ensures steering with low actuating forces even in the event of a total or partial failure of the oil flow supply. In the event of a total or partial failure of the oil flow supply, the device is capable of switching from one orbit displacer to another, if necessary, independently of the pressure at the inlet connection of the steering device.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: WHITE DRIVE MOTORS AND STEERING GMBHInventors: Thomas Pippes, Erhard Bergmann, Hartmut Voßberg

Patent number: 10422353Abstract: A hydro-pneumatic accumulator includes a housing defining a gas chamber for a compressible gas and a fluid chamber within the housing. A gas valve is in communication with the gas chamber via a gas passage. A check valve is provided within the gas passage and prevents gas from releasing from the gas chamber when the gas valve is removed, wherein the check valve is mechanically actuated to an open position by the gas valve in communication with the gas passage.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2016Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Tobul Accumulator IncorporatedInventor: Thomas Pippes

Patent number: 9022072Abstract: A valve array includes a reservoir containing a pressurized fluid, a non-return valve and a seat valve that is actuatable so as to allow the fluid to flow out of the reservoir. The seat valve is configured as a pilot control valve connected to the reservoir such that, in an open condition of the seat valve, a smaller amount of the fluid flows out of the reservoir via the seat valve and a larger amount of the fluid flows out of the reservoir via the non-return valve.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2012Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Carl Freudenberg KGInventor: Thomas Pippes
