INTEGRATED HIGH-PRESSURE UNIT
A high-pressure unit (HPU) skid for greasing and actuating a frac tree valve includes one or more hydraulic pumps, a grease pump, a hydraulic reservoir, and two or more accumulators all of which are mounted on a portable frame. The HPU skid further includes fluidic connections to connect the frac tree valve to an output of the grease pump and fluidic connections to connect the frac tree valve to at least one of the two or more accumulators. The hydraulic pumps are configured to withdraw hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic reservoir for charging the accumulators, operating the grease pump, or charging the accumulators and operating the grease pump at a same time.

The present invention is related to a construction machine, the construction machine including: a main pump; a swing motor operated by receiving a hydraulic oil from the main pump; a swing valve configured to control flow of the hydraulic oil by the main pump to supply the hydraulic oil to the swing motor and to control the flow of the hydraulic oil having been discharged from the swing motor; a hydraulic oil control valve unit provided between the swing motor and the swing valve and configured to control the flow of the hydraulic oil according to a pressure of the hydraulic oil at opposite ends; a first accumulator configured to store the hydraulic oil having passed through the hydraulic oil control valve unit when the swing motor is decelerated; a regeneration control valve provided between the hydraulic oil control valve unit and the first accumulator; and a controller configured to control the hydraulic oil control valve unit and the regeneration control valve by determining acceleration or deceleration of the swing motor.
FLUID CONTROL DEVICE
A fluid control device includes a housing partitioned into an input chamber and an output chamber by a housing land portion extending on the radially inner side, a spool arranged inside the housing and provided with a spool land portion that is configured to reciprocatively slide with respect to the housing land portion and that extends on a radially outer side of the spool, and a biasing member configured to bias the spool toward a valve closing position, wherein upon receiving drive force from an exterior, the spool is moved against bias force of the biasing member, and the input chamber and the output chamber communicate with each other, the spool includes a large diameter portion arranged in the input chamber and having a larger diameter than the spool land portion, and the large diameter portion and the housing land portion form a poppet valve structure.
Control mapping for hydraulic machines
A machine control system can store model weights determined via machine learning using a training dataset correlating preset hydraulic valve displacements to measured movement parameters of a machine component. The machine control system can receive an input command for the component and machine state data from machine sensors. A control mapping model can use the model weights to map a combination of the input command and the machine state data into a predicted displacement of the hydraulic valve that causes movement of the component in response to the input command.
AN ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC PROPULSION SYSTEM COMBINED POWER MODULE
A vehicle drive system, comprises a battery, a power unit in a housing, which itself comprises at least one electric motor/generator, capable of being driven as a motor by the battery or of charging the battery as a generator, at least one hydraulic motor/pump, capable of being driven by the electric motor/generator to pressurize hydraulic fluid, or of being driven by pressurized hydraulic fluid to power the motor generator as a generator, a hydraulic rail communicating the pump, a directional control valves communicating with the hydraulic rail, at least one accumulator for storing pressurized hydraulic fluid, wheel drives capable of being driven by pressurized hydraulic fluid, a hydraulic circuit connecting the directional control valves of the motor housing to the accumulator and wheel drives, and a control system for controlling the operation of the battery, power unit and wheel drives.
Fluid pressure boost system and method
A hydraulic fluid pressure amplifier system includes a boost cylinder assembly, an energy storage device in fluid communication with the boost cylinder assembly, and a working cylinder assembly. The boost cylinder assembly includes a boost cylinder and a boost cylinder piston movable relative to the boost cylinder between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein movement of the boost cylinder piston from the retraced position to the extended position compresses a hydraulic fluid in a blind side volume of the boost cylinder from a nominal fluid pressure to an amplified high fluid pressure greater than the nominal fluid pressure. The energy storage device receives the hydraulic fluid compressed from the nominal fluid pressure to the amplified high fluid pressure. The working cylinder assembly is operatively connected with the boost cylinder assembly and is selectively operable for effecting the movement of the boost cylinder piston.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FOR HYDRO-MECHANICAL MACHINES COMPRISING ROTARY MECHANISM AND BOOM CYLINDER
This disclosure relates to a hydraulic system for a hydro-mechanical machine comprising a rotary mechanism and a boom cylinder The hydraulic system includes a primary accumulator configured to receive and store high-pressure fluid in response to starting and stopping of the rotary mechanism. A control system configured to enable passage of the high-pressure fluid stored in the primary accumulator to a rotary control valve configured to control the rotary mechanism, and a boom control valve configured to control the boom cylinder through the hydraulic supply circuit, based on a predefined pressure threshold associated with the primary accumulator. A secondary accumulator coupled to the primary accumulator and the control system via the hydraulic supply circuit is configured to store surplus high-pressure fluid provided by the primary accumulator through the hydraulic supply circuit.
Blowout preventer closing circuit
The disclosure provides a blowout preventer system including: a hydraulic circuit, a blowout preventer including a ram having an open port and a close port, a hydraulic fluid tank, a hydraulic fluid pump, and a control valve. The hydraulic circuit includes: a first accumulator, a first valve, and a second valve. The control valve is coupled to the open port, the close port, and the hydraulic fluid tank. The first accumulator is coupled to the control valve by way of the first valve and to the close port by way of the second valve. The first valve allows hydraulic fluid to flow from the control valve to the first accumulator but prevents hydraulic fluid from flowing back to the control valve. When the control valve is in the open position, the second valve is closed, and when the control valve is in the close position, the second valve is open.
HYDRAULIC ASSEMBLY FOR A VEHICLE TRANSMISSION
A hydraulic assembly for a vehicle transmission includes a hydraulic pump for providing a system pressure within a hydraulic circuit, a pressure accumulator for temporarily supplying pressure to the hydraulic circuit, and a valve assembly for charging the pressure accumulator after a predetermined pressure threshold value of the system pressure has been reached or exceeded. The valve assembly is hydraulically connected between the pump and the pressure accumulator.
Digital-switching fluidic power supply and hydrostatic transmission with regenerative brake
A series train of symmetrical dual rod-end double-action hydraulic cylinders with a cross sectional area in a series of powers of 2. The cylinders have corresponding computer controlled valves. The cylinders are switchable into three states. One state of shortcutting 2 fluid ports, another state of driving towards each opposite direction of reciprocation and the third state of idling. In the cylinder train all same polarity ports of the valve assembly are connected by hoses or pipes to align towards the same orientation to enable synchronous reciprocal motion and train power output.
