SELF-CONTAINED PRESSURE COMPENSATION SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
A self-contained pressure compensation system and a control method thereof are provided, wherein the self-contained pressure compensation system comprises an oil supply device, a pressure compensation device, a power unit associated with the pressure compensation device, and a switch control device, the pressure compensation device supplies oil to the power unit and detects a change in a chamber pressure of itself in real time, the switch control device triggers the oil supply device to supply oil to the pressure compensation device if the chamber pressure is less than a predetermined first threshold and triggers the oil supply device to stop supplying oil to the pressure compensation device if the chamber pressure is greater than a predetermined second threshold. The invention can detect a chamber pressure of the pressure compensation device in real-time and can achieve automatic oil refilling, and can provide pressure compensation for the power unit effectively.
Compressed-Air Treatment System and Method for Operating a Compressed-Air Treatment System
A compressed-air treatment system and operating method are disclosed. The compressed-air treatment system has a first valve unit configured to charge a control line for a compressor with pressure and a pressure regulator valve unit configured to release pressure from a feed line, A control port of the pressure regulator valve unit is connectable to a second valve unit. A regeneration line which has a check valve for regeneration and which is utilized for a regeneration of a dryer cartridge is connected directly to the control line. During a filling operation the compressed-air treatment system is configured to release leakage air of the regeneration check valve via the first valve unit to surroundings. The filling operation is an operating state in which the compressor is activated to perform a supply of compressed air to a vehicle compressed-air system.
VALVE ASSEMBLY FOR MACHINE FLUID OPERATIONS
A system. The system includes a valve assembly. The valve assembly includes a first port, a second port fluidically couplable with the first port upon application of negative pressure at the first port, a third port fluidically couplable with the first port upon application of positive pressure at the first port, and a first check valve positioned between the first port and the second port. The system also includes a second check valve fluidically couplable with the third port upon the application of the positive pressure at the first port. The second check valve is positioned external to the valve assembly.
AUTONOMOUS ACTUATOR AND REFILLING THEREOF
An accumulator assembly for providing hydraulic fluid to an actuator. That assembly includes an accumulator for containing a supply of hydraulic fluid, the accumulator having an exit port via which hydraulic fluid can flow, in use, to the actuator. The assembly also includes a coupling comprising a first coupling part configured to be located at an inlet port of the actuator and a second coupling part arranged at the exit port of the accumulator. The first and second coupling parts are configured to matingly engage to form an open passage for flow of the fluid-between the accumulator and the actuator, and to close the first coupling part when the first second coupling parts are not engaged, so as to prevent flow from the actuator and to prevent air and pollution ingress the actuator.

Method for venting a pneumatic system of a vehicle, pneumatic system and vehicle Method for venting a pneumatic system (1) of a vehicle, the pneumatic system (1) comprising an air compressor (4), a pneumatic circuit (2), an air pressure management system (6) in communication with the air compressor (4) and the pneumatic circuit (2), and a control unit, the method comprising: —while pressure in the pneumatic circuit (1) is less than a cut-out pressure, supplying the pneumatic circuit (2) with compressed air from the air compressor (4) operated at an operating speed through the air pressure management system (6), —once pressure in the pneumatic circuit (2) reaches the cut-out pressure, lowering pressure in the pneumatic circuit (2) to a target pressure, the air compressor (4) being operated at at least one deflating speed lower than the operating speed, the deflating speed being non null, —after pressure in the pneumatic circuit (2) has reached the cut-out pressure, releasing compressed air in the air pressure management system (6) to the outside environment.
Damped float response on an agricultural harvester
A header assembly for an agricultural harvesting machine having a traction unit comprises a cutter, a main frame that supports the cutter, a float cylinder configured to be coupled between the main frame and the traction unit, an accumulator, and fluidic circuitry that fluidically couples the accumulator to the float cylinder. The fluidic circuitry is configured to provide a first flow of pressurized fluid under pressure to the float cylinder, so the float cylinder exerts a float force on the main frame, and, based on a control input that corresponds to a lifting operation of the header assembly, provide a restricted flow of fluid, that is restricted relative to the first flow, between the float cylinder and the accumulator.
