  • the control valve 28 is a pilot-operated seat valve 54 with a continuously variable opening cross-section depending on the pilot pressure, which in the illustration according to FIG. 1 is once reproduced as a switching symbol and once with its actual internal structure.
  • the pilot control takes place via a force translator 56 with a transmission piston 58.
  • This force translator 56 is necessary in order to achieve a full opening of the control valve 28 and thus the lowest possible flow resistance during load lowering without loading (load pressures under circumstances ⁇ 8 bar).
  • load pressures under circumstances ⁇ 8 bar load pressures under circumstances ⁇ 8 bar.
  • the requirement is taken into account that the load lowering function must work without a running pump, ie the primary pressure supply of the proportional pressure reducer 36 can only by means of Tap the load pressure done. Therefore, when lowering without loading, the pilot pressure can never become greater than the actual load pressure.

  • pilot-seat valve 54 closes the working device 12 leak-tight from the tank port T, in the manner of a poppet valve, while in the other switching position depending on the pilot pressure in size continuously variable control aperture 64 the pertinent connection is produced with proportionally variable throttle characteristic.
  • the mentioned pressure compensator 26 in the pilot circuit 40 is designed only for small volume flows, for example, in the order of about 1 1 / min. Further, the pressure drop across the orifice plate 34, in particular formed by a measuring nozzle, monitored by the pressure compensator 26, which establishes a connection of the pilot line of the seat valve 54 to the tank connection upon reaching the control pressure difference and thus prevents further increase of the sinking volume flow. By changing the orifice diameter, the maximum sinking volume flow is variable. Furthermore, the maximum opening cross section of the control orifice 64 of the control valve 28 is chosen to be very large in view of the pilot control pressure limitation of the pressure compensator 26.

Trained as a measuring nozzle measuring orifice 34 is designed for a control differential pressure of only 3 to 4 bar at nominal flow rate.
  • the pertinent control differential pressure at the metering orifice 34 is monitored by the pressure compensator 26 in the pilot circuit 40 of the seat valve 54.
  • the pressure compensator 26 Upon reaching the predetermined control differential pressure, the pressure compensator 26 opens into its fluid-permeable switching position and thus limits the maximum pilot pressure of the poppet valve 54.
  • the stroke of the poppet valve assumes a control position to maintain the maximum flow rate.
  • the maximum opening cross-section of the poppet valve with its control orifice 64 can be selected to be very large, because a regulation of the piston position takes place by the pilot control pressure limitation of the pressure compensator 26. This also leads to a further increase in the lowering speed.
  • the geometry of the poppet valve 54 is designed so that with increased load pressure, the flow forces require a significant increase in the pilot pressure to achieve the same stroke. This leads to the result that decreases at the same pilot pressure of adjusting sinking volume flow with increasing load. As a result, a system characteristic can be achieved in which the operator of the forklift with increasing load requires more adjustment to achieve the same lowering speed.
  • the pertinent degressive behavior is favorable for a meaningful operation and also serves safety aspects.
  • the self-adjusting sinking flows V s at a constant pilot pressure p s (isobars) can be seen in FIG. 2, wherein the topmost line, as shown in FIG. 2, indicated by an arrow 70, represents the maximum limit by the pressure compensator 26.
  • the control orifice 64 of the control valve 28 thus receives in addition to its original function as a steadily opening poppet valve the additional function as a control orifice of a metering orifice 34, pressure compensator 26 and just this control orifice 64 formed constant flow control valve for limiting the maximum lowering speed. This has a reduction in the main volume flow of the lowering function functional surfaces and thus an increase in the lowering speed without loading result.
  • the constant-current regulator formed by metering orifice 34, pressure compensator 26 and control orifice 64 can ensure a stable lowering movement with a control pressure difference of only 3 to 4 bar. This leads to a larger orifice diameter, which also results in an increase in the lowering speed without loading.
  • the control of the control valve 28 is effected by means of the force translator, which is formed from valve body 56 and piston 58 substantially.
  • the force translator which is formed from valve body 56 and piston 58 substantially.
  • the primary connection of the proportional pressure reducer is supplied from the load pressure of the lifting function.
  • the power converter 56 eliminates the problem that when lowering without loading only an extremely low pilot pressure (depending on the mast version ⁇ 7 bar) is available to open the control valve 28. Only with the force translator 56 is a complete opening of the control valve guaranteed under all circumstances and thus an extremely low flow resistance during lowering without load.
  • the metering orifice 34 is connected in a tank connection line, between the connecting line T on the control valve 28 and the tank T. Furthermore, the first control terminal 30 between the pressure compensator 26 and tank port T of the control valve 28 is arranged to extend.
  • the second control terminal 32 is connected to the pressure compensator 26 as in the embodiment according to Figure 1 and flows with its other free end in the fluid direction behind the orifice 34 in the tank connection line to the tank T.
  • the pertinent arrangement has the advantage that all connections the pressure compensator 26 are decoupled by the valve seat 64 leakage-free from the consumer 12 so that only the proportional pressure reducing valve 36 remains as the only possible leakage point, but which can be dimensioned such that the outgoing of this valve 36 leakage is far below the required forklift leaks ,
  • the arrangement shown in Figure 3 thus allows a nearly leak-free operation with still very good control behavior for the overall device.
  • Hydraulics can also be understood as the use of pneumatic media.
  • a corresponding orifice or a throttle can be set with an adjustable cross section, which provides the required control pressure difference for the pressure compensator 26.

Chariot élévateur à fourche selon la revendication 1, caractérisé en ce que par ses deux raccords de commande (30, 32) la balance de pression (26) est raccordée au circuit hydraulique (10) par une section transversale prédéfinissable en amont et en aval du diaphragme qui fournit la différence de pression de réglage pour commander la balance de pression (26).
  3. Chariot élévateur à fourche selon la revendication 2, caractérisé en ce que le diaphragme est un diaphragme de mesure (34) ou un étrangleur.
  4. Chariot élévateur à fourche selon la revendication 3, caractérisé en ce que le diaphragme de mesure (34) est monté dans le circuit hydraulique (10) entre le dispositif de travail (12) et la soupape de commande (28) ou que le diaphragme de mesure (34) est monté dans une conduite de raccordement au réservoir entre la soupape de commande (28) et le réservoir (T) .
  5. Chariot élévateur à fourche selon la revendication 4, caractérisé en ce que la soupape de commande (28) peut être commandée par un réducteur de pression proportionnelle (36) dont la sortie (38) est raccordée au circuit pilote (40) de la soupape de commande (28) et dont l'entrée (42) est raccordée à un point de raccordement (44) situé dans le circuit hydraulique (10) entre la soupape de commande (28) et le dispositif de travail (12).
  6. Chariot élévateur à fourche selon l'une des revendications 1 à 5, caractérisé en ce que la soupape de commande (28) est une soupape à siège (54) pilotable qui sépare de manière étanche aux fuites d'un raccord de réservoir (T) le dispositif de travail (12) dans l'une des positions de commutation et établit la liaison par l'intermédiaire d'un diaphragme de réglage (64) dans l'autre position de commutation.
  7. Chariot élévateur à fourche selon l'une des revendications 1 à 6, caractérisé en ce que la balance de pression (26) dans le circuit pilote (40) est uniquement conçue pour de petits débits volumétriques, en particulier de l'ordre de grandeur de 1 l/mn.
  8. Chariot élévateur à fourche selon la revendication 6 ou 7, caractérisé en ce que le diaphragme de mesure (34) est formé par une tuyère de mesure dont la différence de pression est surveillée par la balance de pression (26).
  9. Chariot élévateur à fourche selon l'une des revendications 6 à 8, caractérisé en ce qu'il est possible de choisir que le diaphragme de réglage (64) de la soupape de commande (28) ait une très grande section transversale maximale d'ouverture, ce qui est possible grâce à la limitation de pression pilote permise par le débit volumétrique maximal par l'intermédiaire de la balance de pression (26).
  10. Chariot élévateur à fourche selon la revendication 9, caractérisé en ce que la section transversale d'ouverture pour le diaphragme de réglage (64) de la soupape de commande (28) est conçue de telle manière que, quand la pression pilote est identique, le débit volumétrique d'abaissement qui s'établit diminue à mesure que la charge augmente sur le dispositif de travail (12).
  11. Chariot élévateur à fourche selon l'une des revendications 5 à 10, caractérisé en ce que la sortie (66) de la balance de pression (26) aussi bien que la sortie (38) du réducteur de pression proportionnelle (36) débouchent dans le circuit pilote (40) de la soupape de commande (28) et que les entrées (30, 32) de la balance de pression (26) et du réducteur de pression proportionnelle (36) sont reliées l'une à l'autre de manière à conduire les fluides.
