A hydraulic system for a working machine, the system comprising: an electric machine connected to a first hydraulic machine and to a second hydraulic machine via a common axle, an output side of the second hydraulic machine being connected to an input side of the first hydraulic machine, wherein the first hydraulic machine is a variable displacement hydraulic machine with unidirectional flow; at least one hydraulic consumer hydraulically coupled to an output side of the first hydraulic machine via a supply line and configured to be powered by the first hydraulic machine; a first return line hydraulically coupling the hydraulic consumer to the input side of the first hydraulic machine.

The present invention relates to a hydraulic system for a hydraulically actuable work machine that comprises a switching valve block having a plurality of valve block inputs for a respective connection to a pressure output of one or more hydraulic fluid pumps; having a plurality of valve block outputs for outputting a pressurized hydraulic fluid; and having at least one valve that is arranged between valve block inputs and valve block outputs and that is adapted to selectively produce a fluid connection between a first valve block input and a first valve block output or between the first valve block input and a second valve block output; a plurality of pressure sources, preferably a plurality of separately controllable pressure sources of which each one is connected to a respective valve block input; and a plurality of hydraulic consumers of which each one is connected to a respective valve block output. The system is characterized in that the first valve block output furthermore already has a fixed fluid connection, preferably a fixed exclusive fluid connection, to a second valve block input and in that the steering is connected to the first valve block output.

This hydraulic drive system includes: a hydraulic pump that supplies a working fluid to a hydraulic actuator; a meter-in control valve that controls a flow rate of the working fluid flowing from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic actuator; a meter-out control valve that controls a flow rate of the working fluid being drained from the hydraulic actuator into a tank; and a regeneration valve that supplies, to the hydraulic actuator, the working fluid drained from the hydraulic actuator. The meter-out control valve is connected to the hydraulic actuator in parallel with the regeneration valve.

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.

A pilot hydraulic system may include a pilot pressure source, a pilot pressure return tank, a pilot valve, a pilot pressure supply line connecting the pilot pressure source to the pilot valve, and a pilot pressure return line connecting the pilot pressure return tank to the pilot valve. A main control valve may include a pilot chamber. A pilot pressure control line connects the pilot valve to the pilot chamber. A hydraulic sub-system is provided for modifying pilot pressure provided to the pilot chamber of the main control valve. The hydraulic sub-system may include a variable orifice valve disposed in the pilot pressure control line, a pilot pressure bypass line communicating the pilot pressure control line downstream of the variable orifice valve with the pilot pressure return line, and an electrohydraulic pressure reducing valve (EHPRV) disposed in the pilot pressure bypass line.

A hydraulic control system for linear actuation that includes an electric motor connected to a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic cylinder connected to the pump by a first flow line. A pressure transducer, a pressure control valve, and a check valve are connected to the first flow line between the pump and the cylinder and a tank is connected to the pump by a second flow line and the cylinder by a return line. A control valve is connected between the first flow line and the return line.

A hydraulic system for operating a rear gate of a baler implement includes a hydraulic cylinder having a housing that defines an interior, and a piston that is moveably disposed within the interior of the housing. The housing includes a first fluid port and a second fluid port, each disposed in fluid communication with a first fluid volume of the hydraulic cylinder. A flow rate control valve is moveable between a first position for directing fluid to or from the first fluid port at a first flow rate, and a second position for directing fluid to or from the second fluid port at a second flow rate. The second flow rate is different than the first flow rate.

A milling machine may have a frame, a milling drum attached to the frame, and ground engaging tracks that support the frame and propel the milling machine in a forward or rearward direction. The milling machine may have height adjustable actuators connecting the frame to the tracks. Each actuator may have a cylinder attached to the frame, a piston slidably disposed within the cylinder, and a rod connected at a first end to the piston and connected to a track at a second end. The milling machine may have a tank storing hydraulic fluid and a fluid conduit connecting the tank to the cylinder. The milling machine may have a control valve selectively controlling a flow rate of the hydraulic fluid in the fluid conduit. The milling machine may also have a controller that determines a height of the frame relative to the ground surface based on the flow rate.
