Abstract: Described is a control circuit for a hydraulic power lift driven by a displacement pump which has a check valve releasable at least for lowering movements of the power lift, a actuation means switching the check valve off and on to control the flow from a pump line into an operating line leading to the power lift and vice-versa, and a load-sensing line carrying the load pressure and connected to the operating line, by which the variable-displacement pump is capable of being activated. The actuating means has an actuating unit switching the check valve off and on and a servo valve, activated simultaneously and controlling the flow to and from the power lift, with at least three switch positions. In the starting position of the actuating means, the latter connects the load-sensing line and the operating line, by way of the servo valve, with the tank and, after passage through a central position, the operating line with the pump line.

Abstract: Disclosed is a preferably electrohydraulic control for a load-dependently operating variable displacement pump, which is equipped with a differential pressure control device for ensuring a predetermined pressure drop at the control edge of a directional valve integrated into the consumer supply line. The differential pressure control device has a servo valve, the valve spool of which can be brought out of a first position, increasing the output volume of the variable displacement pump, against the compressive force of a spring and of a control pressure led off from the supply pressure upstream of the directional valve, by the pump pressure into a second position, reducing the output volume.

Abstract: A control device transmits hydraulic pressure from a continuously circulating pump to a hydraulic device. A pressure limiting valve communicates with the pump to exhaust the pump to reservoir when the system is in a stand-by mode. The control device includes a servo valve and a directional control valve. Movement of the latter relative to the former is possible in order to create a pressure back-up in a load indicating line which closes the pressure limiting valve, thereby increasing the pump pressure supplied to the servo valve when it is desired to initiate a working mode. Subsequent actuation of the servo valve causes hydraulic pressure to be supplied to or exhausted from the hydraulic device. Actuation of the servo valve is produced by hydraulic pressure which also communicates with the load indicating line via a one-way valve.

Abstract: A hydraulic lift is raised by hydraulic fluid which passes through a servo valve and is lowered when the servo valve exhausts the hydraulic lift to a reservoir. The hydraulic fluid travels to and from the lift through a service line in which a blocking valve is disposed. A control unit opens the blocking valve against a spring bias in response to the application of a control pressure to a control element disposed on one side of the control unit. The control pressure is supplied via a control line which also actuates the servo valve. A branch control line branches from the control line and applies pressure to another control element which acts counter to the first-mentioned control element. The branch control line includes tow throttles between which a discharge line is connected and communicates with the reservoir.

Abstract: A hydraulic system is provided for powering a steering unit, a trailer brake and an auxiliary power unit from a single pump. A control circuit ensures that the hydraulic trailer brake and/or the power steering unit on the vehicle will operate on a preferential basis over the auxiliary power unit. The hydraulic control circuit has two priority valves connected in series. The upstream priority valve has a priority position in which it makes the pump fluid available to a supply line for the common priority flow for the steering and braking apparatus and a non-priority position for powering the auxiliary power unit. The common priority flow is passed through the second or downstream priority valve for priority powering of the power steering circuit.

Abstract: A control system for a hydraulic lift driven by a variable displacement pump is disclosed. It is comprised of a blocking valve which may be opened at least for lowering movement of the hydraulic lift. A control device is provided for opening and closing the blocking valve and for regulating the volumetric flow from a pump line to an operating line leading to the hydraulic lift, and the flow from the hydraulic lift to a tank line leading to a tank. In addition, a load indicating line is provided which transmits the load pressure. The control device is comprised of a servo valve with three valve positions, and is further comprised of an actuator unit which opens and closes the blocking valve. The servo valve regulates the volumetric flow to and from the hydraulic lift. The load registering line is connected to the operating line, and in the initial position of the control device the load registering line is connected via the servo valve to the tank.

Abstract: A hydrostatic auxiliary power steering mechanism for motor vehicles is described, in which the steering cylinder power is controlled by a servo mechanism for which a control loop is provided for regulating oil quantity proportional to the turning of the steering wheel. This control loop is connected in parallel to a hand pump driven by the steering wheel. In this way, the transmission ratio of the hand pump can be selected independently of the auxiliary power control loop in such a way that the vehicle remains steerable in all operating conditions. Moreover, there results the possibility of designing the auxiliary power control loop with external feedback in such a way that disturbance variables of a control system comprising the steering valve, the steering cylinders and the steering linkage can be controlled.

Abstract: A method of controlling an attachment to an agricultural tractor in which the absolute movement of the attachment is determined by a motion sensor mounted thereon and is utilized as a control standard while the relative motion of the attachment with respect to the tractor, influenced by the controller and carried out by a power lift, is determined in such a way that the absolute movement of the attachment becomes zero. This control method achieves that the attachment maintains a constant position in space in spite of the pitch movements of the tractor acting as disturbances. This guarantees an automatic tilling process, for instance a uniform depth of the furrows when plowing. By utilizing superimposed feedbacks of further control standards, such as relative position and motor load, changes in the absolute position of the attachment are possible and overloading of the motor is avoided.

Abstract: A control switching arrangement for a hydraulic power lift control system comprises a power lift control valve which is controlled via control lines in a low pressure section. The main hydraulic section is controlled by the said control valve via a check valve which is hydraulically openable, at least for carrying out lowering movement by the power lift. The check valve is opened via the said control valve itself, which furnishes the switching line a pressure generally equal to the circulation pressure of the main hydraulic section. Further, means are provided whereby, in the switching state corresponding to lowering movement of the power lift, the circulation pressure of the main hydraulic section can be increased. With this control system the low pressure control section is simplified, and energy losses in the control system are kept as low as possible.

Abstract: In the supply of priority and lower-ranking consumers the flow to the priority consumer must be maintained even when there is a leak in the hydraulic system of the lower-ranking consumers. For this purpose the priority consumer is connected via in each case a check valve to a pump and an auxiliary pump. If the pressure generated by the pump drops for example due to a leak a valve opening the pressure line to the discharge is shut-off and the priority consumer thereby supplied with fluid delivered by the auxiliary pump.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for adjusting the working depth of a soil-moving (soil-working, tilling) machine carried by a tractor includes adjusting the position of the machine in relation to the tractor in dependence upon a traction signal and upon a position signal. The traction signal corresponds to the traction produced on the machine in the soil and the position signal corresponds to the position of the machine in relation to the tractor. A portion of the traction signal above a certain cut-off frequency and a portion of the position signal below the same cut-off frequency or below a lower one are utilized in the adjusting control.

Abstract: A vehicle, such as a tractor, has an attachment implement, such as a plow. An automatic controller acts upon a power lift of the plow, which moves the plow during operation in trenching position. In a first control, this motion of the plow ensues relative to the tractor, so that the vertical absolute velocity component of the plow becomes approximately zero. The plow is so moved relative to the vehicle that it moves upward during a downward motion of the plow-tractor joint and downward during an upward motion of such joint. The tractor is this completely disconnected dynamically from the plow, so that the pitching vibration behavior of the tractor is not subjected to a negative change due to the moments resulting from the forces of acceleration of the plow and affecting the plow, as is the case with a vehicle having a rigidly connected attachment implement. In a second control, the plow is moved in opposite phase to the tractor to counteract a change of its pitching angle coordinate.

Abstract: In the supply of a power-assisted steering and an additional hydraulic system with fluid the power-assisted steering has priority so that when the steering is actuated the influx of fluid to the hydraulic system is correspondingly throttled by a priority valve. When a leak occurs in the hydraulic system, the influx of fluid to the hydraulic system is completely shut off when the oil level in the reservoir drops to a lower limit value. The closure of the priority valve is effected by a switch valve which is disposed in one of the control pressure lines of the priority valve and which is rendered currentless on response of the sensor for the fluid level.
