As shown in Figure 1, to be used for control system together with flow control apparatus main for the flow in runner 52 for described power source.Described power source provides power for the first pump 32 and the second pump 34, respectively fluid from fuel tank 50 deliver to first for runner 56 and second for runner 58.Described flow control apparatus be used for controlling first for runner 56 and second for runner 58 separately with the main through-flow state for runner 52, main for the flow in runner 52, i.e. effective system flow to be controlled at.Main runner 52 and the main backflow road 54 of supplying is connected with actuating device 10, and fluid supply and backflow approach is provided to respectively actuating device 10.The first pump 32 and the second pump 34 wherein all have fixing volumetric displacement, and they are metering pumps.
Again as shown in Figure 1, air inlet driver 18 and air exhaust actuator 22 drive respectively intake valve 20 and the exhaust valve 24 of motor.Eight air inlet drivers 18 are all connected with suction valve piece 14, and realize necessary fluid communication by suction valve piece 14.Eight air exhaust actuators 22 are all connected with outlet valve piece 16, and realize necessary fluid communication by outlet valve piece 16.Suction valve piece 14 is further connected with system valve piece 12 with outlet valve piece 16, realizes necessary fluid communication.System valve piece 12 generally contains various system fluid controls function; According to changeable air valve design and the requirement controlled, controlling function or device (in figure, not indicating) may comprise: the take a seat speed control or COMM communication or back pressure of pressure control or adjusting, pressure surge elimination, accumulation of energy or flowed fluctuation elimination, valve lift control or COMM communication, valve is controlled.
In structure and function, system valve piece 12 is not necessarily got very clear with the border of suction valve piece 14 and outlet valve piece 16.In the middle of their any two, even they three may be the structure (not indicating in figure) of one.Above-mentioned system controller also can need to be contained in any one valve piece according to control requirement or space layout.Therefore, system valve piece 12, suction valve piece 14 and outlet valve piece 16 can be regarded as to an integral body or a valve piece.
Again as shown in Figure 1, engine-driving source 36 drives the first pump 32 and the second pump 34 by live axle 48 simultaneously, respectively fluid is delivered to first from fuel tank 50 and for runner 58, the first, for runner 56 and second, is merged into main for runner 52 for runner 58 for runner 56 and second.Main runner 52 and the main backflow road 54 of supplying is communicated with actuating device 10 fluids, fluid supply and backflow approach is provided to respectively actuating device 10.On main confession runner 52, side has connect system pressure controller 42, and system pressure controller 42 can be but be not limited to the fixed relief valve shown in Fig. 1.System pressure controller 42 can be adjustable relief valve or other more complicated pressure controller.
When the first unloading valve 38 is opened, can for runner 56, be short-circuited to fuel tank 50 by first, be that the first pump 32 is laid down load.Now, the first one-way valve 44 under reverse differential pressure in closed condition, to prevent that the fluid of all the other systems from pouring in down a chimney into first in runner 56 and the first unloading valve 38 of opening.

If the first pump 32 and the second pump 34 have identical volumetric displacement (being D1=D2), fluid supply apparatus 30 has two grades of system bulk discharge capacities, has two grades of Systems Theory flows under the rotational speed N of setting:
Each is opened and closed to (1) first unloading valve 38 and the second unloading valve 40, and system bulk discharge capacity is D1, and Systems Theory flow is N * D1,
(2) first unloading valves 38 and the second unloading valve 40 are all closed, and system bulk discharge capacity is 2 * D1, and Systems Theory flow is 2 * N * D1.
If the first pump 32 and the second pump 34 have different volumetric displacements, such as D1 > D2, fluid supply apparatus 30 has third gear system bulk discharge capacity, has the third gear Systems Theory flow increasing successively under the rotational speed N of setting:
(1) first unloading valve 38 is opened, and the second unloading valve 40 cuts out, and system bulk discharge capacity is D2, and Systems Theory flow is N * D2,
(2) first unloading valves 38 cut out, and the second unloading valve 40 is opened, and system bulk discharge capacity is D1, and Systems Theory flow is N * D1,
(3) first unloading valves 38 cut out, and the second unloading valve 40 cuts out, and system bulk discharge capacity is D1+D2, and Systems Theory flow is N * (D1+D2).
Therefore under same rotating speed, fluid supply apparatus 30 at least can provide three grades of different discharge capacities to meet the demand of actuating device 10.
