There are disclosed a method and a lifting mechanism for actively damping in mobile working machines vibrations which may occur as a result of raised attachments during travel. The method or the lifting mechanism has a prediction or a predictor for estimating the future vibration. The prediction is preferably carried out with a recursive least squares algorithm. The mobile working machine may, for example, be a tractor.

A hydraulic system includes: a solenoid valve that includes a valve spool configured to slide within a housing, and moves the valve spool to a position corresponding to an operation command input to the solenoid valve; and a control device that outputs the operation command to the solenoid valve. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the control device outputs a continuously or intermittently changing operation command to the solenoid valve to reciprocate the valve spool from a full open position or a full closed position.

An assembly system for components of a pressurized fluid supply system for an agricultural vehicle includes a body having at least one fluid duct connectable at one end to a pressurized fluid supply and having a socket at the other end. A detachable component such as an accumulator or oil filter is connectable in releasable mechanical engagement with the body to receive pressurized fluid from the at least one fluid duct. The engagement results from insertion of at least a portion of the component into the socket and rotation of the component to a locked position. The body has at least one discharge duct extending therethrough. In a partially rotated position of the component portion within the socket, the component remains mechanically attached to the body and the fluid duct and discharge duct are in fluidic connection, discharging accumulated pressure in the fluid duct.

A method for commissioning a pneumatic actuator device, which includes a pneumatic drive cylinder and a pneumatic control module mounted on the pneumatic drive cylinder, wherein a plurality of commissioning steps to be carried out for commissioning are displayed by means of a graphical display device separate from the control module, the graphical display device in particular being a tablet computer or a mobile telephone, and wherein a control module state is being transmitted from the control module to the display device via a communication link between the control module and the display device, and the commissioning steps are being displayed taking into account the transmitted control module state.

A hydraulic system includes: a solenoid valve that includes a valve spool configured to slide within a housing, and moves the valve spool to a position corresponding to an operation command input to the solenoid valve; and a control device that outputs the operation command to the solenoid valve. When a predetermined condition is satisfied, the control device outputs a continuously or intermittently changing operation command to the solenoid valve to reciprocate the valve spool from a full open position or a full closed position.

In one aspect, a system (110) for performing an action is disclosed. In one arrangement and embodiment, the system (110) comprises: a tool (118) operable to perform at least the action; a controller (122); storage (124) storing electronic program instructions for controlling the controller (122); and an input/output means (126). In one form, the controller (122) is operable, under control of the electronic program instructions, to: receive input via the input means; process the input, and on the basis of the processing, control the tool to perform the action. In one embodiment, the action comprises a hydraulic tuning action in respect of a system, such as a hydraulic pump (114), comprising a hydraulic circuit.

A balancing valve includes four ports. While the pressures at a pair of balancing ports of a hydraulic balancing valve are equal, the valve maintains two other ports in a closed position. Upon a pressure differential between the balancing ports, fluid communication can occur between one of the balancing ports and either of the other ports based upon the direction of the pressure differential. A hydraulic ride control system utilizes the balancing valve together with other control valves to provide ride control functionality.

A hydraulic system for an agricultural system includes a hydraulic circuit and a bi-directional filter disposed on a bi-directional fluid line of the hydraulic circuit. The bi-directional filter includes a check valve fluid line having a check valve configured to block a fluid from flowing through the check valve fluid line in a first direction and to enable the fluid to flow through the check valve fluid line in a second direction, opposite the first direction, and a filter fluid line having a filter configured to enable the fluid to flow through the filter fluid line in the first direction and the second direction. The filter is configured to block particles that are greater than a threshold size from passing through the filter fluid line, and the filter fluid line is in a parallel flow configuration with respect to the check valve fluid line.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device, a vehicle body, an electric power take-off system, and a hydraulic component. The energy storage device is supported by the chassis and is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The vehicle body is supported by the chassis, and includes an on-board receptacle for storing refuse therein. The electric power take-off system is positioned on the vehicle body, and includes an electric motor configured to drive a hydraulic pump to convert electrical power received from the energy storage device into hydraulic power. An amount of electrical power at least one of received by and provided to the electric motor is limited by a controller to control an output characteristic of the hydraulic pump. The hydraulic component is in fluid communication with the hydraulic pump and configured to operate using hydraulic power from the electric power take-off system.

A shovel includes a lower traveling body, and an upper swiveling body mounted on the lower traveling body. The upper swiveling body is rotatable. An attachment is attached to the upper swiveling body. A traveling actuator is configured to drive the lower traveling body. An attachment actuator is configured to move the attachment. A control device is provided in the upper swiveling body. The control device is configured to autonomously operate at least one of the traveling actuator and the attachment actuator depending on an inclination of a ground on which the lower traveling body is traveling.
