The present disclosure relates to a hydraulic circuit comprising: a hydraulic displacement unit for driving an implement; a hydraulic machine fluidly connected or selectively fluidly connected with the hydraulic displacement unit the hydraulic machine having a fixed hydraulic displacement; an electric machine drivingly engaged or selectively drivingly engaged with the hydraulic machine; a hydraulic pump fluidly connected or selectively fluidly connected with the hydraulic displacement unit, the hydraulic pump having a variable hydraulic displacement; and an electric motor drivingly engaged or selectively drivingly engaged with the hydraulic pump.

An apparatus comprising a synthetically commutated machine with one or more services, a prime mover coupled to the machine, a hydraulic circuit extending between the services and hydraulic loads to fluidically connect the services to the hydraulic loads such that groups of one or more services are fluidically connected to respective groups of one or more hydraulic loads. The apparatus configured such that the flow of hydraulic fluid to or from a group of services of the machine is controlled responsive to measuring a flow rate and/or pressure requirement of the hydraulic loads which are fluidically connected to the services, or receiving a demand signal indicative of a demanded pressure and/or flow rate based on a pressure and/or flow demand of hydraulic loads which are fluidically connected to the services.

A construction machine incorporates a hydraulic closed circuit system capable of suppressing, even where a selector valve is stuck in an open state by a failure of the selector valve or a control system therefor, unintended operation of a hydraulic actuator and continuing operation of a machine body. The construction machine includes first sensors that detect open-closed states of a plurality of switching valves, first compulsory valve closing devices that change over the plurality of switching valves to a closed position irrespective of open-close control by a machine body controller, and a valve device controller that controls, when it is detected based on the open-closed states of the plurality of selector values detected by the first sensors that one of the plurality of selector values is stuck in an open state, the first compulsory valve closing device such that other selector valve connected to one of the plurality of closed circuit pumps to which the one selector valve is connected is closed.

In a hydraulic control device, when it is detected that a pressure of first oil (output pressure) detected by an output pressure sensor pulsates, a transmission control unit as a TCU stops driving of a second pump or decreases a rotation number of the second pump as a first operation. Alternatively, when it is detected that the output pressure pulsates, the TCU increases the rotation number of the second pump to a rotation number (for example, maximum rotation number) that is higher than a target rotation number as a second operation.

A hydraulic system of a vehicle includes a first pump for supplying at least one first hydraulic circuit and at least one second pump for supplying at least one second hydraulic circuit with hydraulic medium. The second pump supplies the first hydraulic circuit with hydraulic medium in an emergency mode or when an output pressure of the first pump fails.

A turbine system may include several air lines that extend from a compressor to a turbine, and the air lines may have valves. Additionally, the turbine system may also include several sensors that are coupled to the valves, several actuators that are coupled to the valves, and a controller that can send a command to set a valve position of one of the valves based at least partially on a valve position of another valve.

A hydraulic drive system for an electrically-driven hydraulic work machine makes it possible to make a rated voltage of various electric equipment such as power storage devices common to one of an electrically-driven hydraulic work machine that is capable of being operated with lower horsepower and to prevent that only a power storage situation of one of the plurality of power storage devices significantly degrades together with operation of the electrically-driven hydraulic work machine and besides, to extend a time period within which each of actuators of the electrically-driven hydraulic work machine can obtain a predetermined speed. Accordingly, a controller 50 includes a virtual limitation torque calculation section 51 and electric motor rotational speed control sections 52 and 53. Variable horsepower control tables 52r and 53r are provided in the electric motor rotational speed control sections 52 and 53, and limit values q1*limit and q2*limit for a virtual displacement of the variable horsepower control tables 52r and 53r are changed such that a charge state of a power storage device 170 and a charge state of another power storage device 270 become equal to each other.

A pneumatic unit for a hydropneumatic pressure booster has a system line that leads from a compressed air inlet to a compressed air outlet. A bypass line runs parallel to the system line and it is connected to the system line via first and second compressed air switches. A compressed air reservoir is connected in the bypass line, and a pressure intensifier is connected in the region between the first compressed air switch and the compressed air reservoir. The pneumatic unit makes available to the pressure booster a sufficiently high pneumatic pressure for carrying out at least one operational step of a connected hydraulic tool, even in the case of a pressure decrease or pressure failure in the supplying pneumatic line. For that purpose, the second compressed air switch is configured for switching the compressed air flow between the system line and the bypass line.

A hydraulic system for driving a vibratory mechanism of a compaction roller includes at least one hydraulic motor connectable to a vibratory mechanism and a first hydraulic pump fluidly connected to the at least one hydraulic motor and arranged for supplying pressurised hydraulic fluid to the at least one hydraulic motor. The hydraulic system further includes a second hydraulic pump fluidly connected to the at least one hydraulic motor and arranged for supplying pressurised hydraulic fluid to the at least one hydraulic motor. A corresponding method for controlling a vibratory mechanism of a compaction roller is also provided.

The invention relates to a control apparatus for supplying at least one hydraulic consumer with fluid having a variable displacement pump (10) which may be controlled by means of a loadsensing pressure (LS), characterized in that, for a case-by-case increase in the volume flow in the supply (22) to the hydraulic consumer, the loadsensing pressure (LS) is passed via a control line (28) to a control device (2) which ensures the increase in the supply (22) by connecting in a constant-displacement pump (16) as soon as an operator calls for the relevant function by operating the control device (2).
