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.

In the disclosed solution, a variable related to a load and its position at the tip of the boom assembly (14) is defined, and the variable in question related to the load and its position at the tip of the boom assembly (14) is taken into account in the control command for the actuator.

A method for operating a hydraulic valve of a hydraulic device of a motor vehicle transmission device, wherein an actuating current of the hydraulic valve is superposed with a modulation alternating current in order to adjust a shaking vibration of the hydraulic valve by a control device, wherein a deviation between an actual pressure resulting from the actuating current and a setpoint pressure determined as a function of the actuating current is determined for the hydraulic device by means of an electronic computing device, and an amplitude and/or a frequency of the modulation alternating current is increased as compared to a starting value equalizing a hysteresis of the actual pressure relative to the setpoint pressure, as a function of a tolerance range being exceeded by the determined deviation.

A method is for controlling an actuation force exerted by an actuating device having a first working chamber and a second working chamber supplied with pressurized air from a source of pressurized air by a first pressure regulator and a second pressure regulator. The method includes calculating, by an optimization algorithm based on a dynamic model of the actuating device and of the first and second pressure regulators, desired values for control signals for the first and second pressure regulators to generate an actuation force equal to a desired value for the actuation force. An estimated value for the actuation force, estimated values for pressures inside the first and second working chambers and for first derivatives of the pressures, are determined by a state observer based on a measured value for the actuation force and on measured values for the pressures in the first and second working chambers.

A work machine control system includes: a pump; a cylinder operating a working equipment element in a movable range based on hydraulic oil supplied from the pump; a first path connected to the pump; a second path branching from the first path; a control valve adjusting the flow rate of the oil supplied to the cylinder via the first path; a bleed valve adjusting the flow rate of the oil discharged to a tank via the second path; a sensor detecting a posture of the element in the range; and a control device outputting a first command for adjusting the flow rate of the oil supplied to the cylinder and a second command for adjusting the flow rate of the oil discharged to the tank when element is determined to be present in an end section of the range based on detection data of the sensor.

A regeneration device includes: a regeneration valve that controls the flow rate of an operating fluid being drained from one port of a cylinder; a non-return valve that allows a regenerative flow of the operating fluid from the regeneration valve to the other port of the cylinder and blocks an opposite flow of the operating fluid; and an exhaust valve that controls the flow rate of the operating fluid output from the regeneration valve being drained to a tank. The regeneration valve controls the flow rate independently of the exhaust valve.

A first MR sensor and a second MR sensor are a combination of a first magnetic resistance effect element pattern and a second magnetic resistance effect element pattern. The first MR sensor and the second MR sensor are disposed a prescribed distance apart such that, when the first MR sensor receives the greatest quantity of the magnetic field component of a magnet oriented parallel to the axial direction of a piston, the second MR sensor receives the greatest quantity of the magnetic field component of a magnet oriented parallel to the radial direction of the piston.

A control method of a work machine includes: calculating a maximum flow rate of hydraulic oil discharged from a hydraulic pump; calculating a first target speed of working equipment including a bucket based on an operation amount of an operation device operated for driving a plurality of hydraulic actuators to which the hydraulic oil discharged from the hydraulic pump is supplied to drive the working equipment and a distance between the bucket and a target excavation landform; calculating a second target speed of the working equipment based on the maximum flow rate, and the operation amount of the operation device and the distance between the bucket and the target excavation landform; and outputting a control signal for controlling the hydraulic actuators based on a smaller one of the first target speed and the second target speed.

A hydraulic system includes: a slewing motor; a mechanical brake; and a slewing control valve interposed between a main pump and the slewing motor. A first pilot port of the slewing control valve is connected to a first solenoid proportional valve by a pilot line. A second pilot port of the slewing control valve is connected to a second solenoid proportional valve by a second pilot line. The first solenoid proportional valve and the second solenoid proportional valve are connected to an auxiliary pump by a primary pressure line. A switching valve is interposed between the auxiliary pump and the mechanical brake. The switching valve includes a pilot port that is connected to the first pilot line by a switching pilot line. The valve switches from a closed to an open position when a pilot pressure led to the pilot port becomes higher than or equal to a setting value.

A hydraulic machine is provided. A boom actuator includes a large chamber and a small chamber. A recovery unit receives fluid discharged from the large chamber and then recovers energy. A recovery line connects the large chamber and the recovery unit. An accumulator is connected to the recovery line. A jack-up assist line connects the accumulator and the small chamber. A jack-up assist valve is disposed on the jack-up assist line to block flow of fluid from the accumulator to the small chamber in a first position and allow the flow of fluid from the accumulator to the small chamber in a second position. A controller controls movement of the jack-up assist valve. The controller may determine whether or not the hydraulic machine is in a jack-up condition, and when the hydraulic machine is determined to be in the jack-up condition, moves the jack-up assist valve to the second position.
