  • Patent number: 10060524
    Abstract: A hydraulic transmission control system including a vane pump including a stroke ring defining a compartment. An outlet line and an inlet line are fluidly connected to the compartment. A control pressure chamber and a compensation chamber are defined adjacent to opposite sides of the stroke ring, each for varying a pump outlet pressure based on a pressure change within the chambers. A pump controller is connected to the outlet line and the pressure control chamber for adjusting a pressure in the pressure control chamber. The outlet line is further connected to the compensation chamber, a primary hydraulic circuit and a primary pressure control valve. A secondary hydraulic circuit is connected to the primary pressure control valve. A shift valve is disposed between the outlet line and the primary control valve and configured to selectively connect the pump controller and the primary pressure control.

  • Patent number: 9874209
    Abstract: A variable displacement transmission pump having a controller for adjusting the displaced volume, which controller actuates corresponding adjuster actuators of the adjustable pump via a control valve, so that the pump can be adjusted from minimum to maximum displaced volume in order to achieve a constant pump outlet pressure for supplying a hydraulically operated transmission, wherein for different operating points of both the adjustable pump and the transmission, the input variables of the controller are adjusted in such a way that, independently of the individual operating points, the overall damping of the control system comprising pump and transmission—that is, using corresponding influence variables from these systems—can be maintained substantially constant under variable operating conditions by means of adjustable controller amplification.

  • Publication number: 20160116059
    Abstract: A variable displacement pump is disclosed for hydraulic gearbox control systems, in particular a vane pump, having a variable stroke volume and having a pump regulator for outflow pressure regulation, in which the outlet pressure of the pump acts in a compensation chamber and a regulation pressure, which can be set by the pump regulator, acts in a regulation pressure chamber on an adjustable stroke ring, wherein the pressure in the regulation pressure chamber and an additional spring force adjust the stroke ring in the direction of maximum pivoting out.

  • Patent number: 6775975
    Abstract: A power-steering pump for a motor vehicle is used to pump fluid to an additional fluid-driven device such as a hydraulic motor of a ventilation fan. The pump has a flow-regulating valve and an injector device, where a jet of excess fluid streaming off the flow-regulating valve generates a suction effect that pulls return fluid from a suction pipe or a reservoir tank into the intake area of the pump. A fluid stream returning from the additional fluid-driven device enters the intake area through one or more fluid return channels that are separate from the injector channel.
