Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hydraulic system with a closed hydraulic circuit consisting of hydraulic pump and hydraulic motor, with a feed pump to compensate for volume losses in the closed circuit and with a flushing device for feeding out a part of the hydraulic fluid from the closed circuit.
  • the hydraulic pump conveys fluid and thus drives the hydraulic motor.
  • the amount of oil it exits is returned directly to the hydraulic pump.
  • the volumetric losses are compensated for by the feed pump.
  • the flushing device feeds part of the oil out of the circuit to avoid overheating.
  • flushing valves are usually used which are designed as constant systems and, from a certain pressure difference between the two sides of the hydraulic circuit, suddenly deliver a constant flow of feed fluid.
  • the DE 10 2010 006464 A1 shows a hydraulic system that has all the features from the preamble of claim 1. The same applies to the revelation of the DE 10 2005 051324 A1 .
  • the US 2010/095665 A1 shows a hydraulic system that has all the features from the preamble of claim 9.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved flushing device for such a hydraulic system.
  • this object is achieved by a hydraulic system according to claim 1 or claim 9.
  • the hydraulic system according to the invention has, inter alia, a closed hydraulic circuit comprising a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor, a feed pump for compensating for volume losses in the closed circuit and a flushing device for feeding out part of the hydraulic fluid from the closed circuit.
  • the flushing device is designed in such a way that the outlet fluid flow depends on the temperature of the hydraulic fluid. The present invention thus allows a flushing of the hydraulic fluid in a closed circuit as required, and thus a more efficient operation of the hydraulic system.
  • the exit fluid flow is fed to a hydraulic cooler and / or the tank.
  • the outlet fluid flow increases as the temperature of the hydraulic fluid rises, so as to prevent overheating of the hydraulic fluid in a closed circuit as required.
  • the feed fluid flow can be correspondingly low.
  • the flushing device has a viscosity-dependent throttle.
  • the present invention takes advantage of the physical fact that the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid decreases with increasing temperature. This increases the flow through the viscosity-dependent throttle as the temperature of the hydraulic fluid rises.
  • the exit fluid flow is thus variable due to the use of a viscosity-dependent throttle, with a lot of exit fluid flow occurring in the case of hot oil, and the temperature in the closed circuit thus being reduced.
  • the use of a viscosity-dependent throttle has the further advantage that the exit fluid flow does not change abruptly when the flushing device is switched on, but rather increases in a damped manner. This can prevent pressure drops on the low pressure side.
  • the viscosity-dependent throttle can be formed by a hole or a gap.
  • an annular gap can be used.
  • the length of the bore or the gap is advantageously more than twice as large as the diameter of the bore or the height of the gap. Further advantageously, the length of the bore or the gap is more than three times, furthermore advantageously more than five times the diameter of the bore or the height of the gap. In this way, a corresponding dependence of the flow rate through the throttle on the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid can be achieved.
  • the throttle is particularly advantageously designed as a cylindrical annular gap.
  • the inside diameter of the cylinder can be between 0.5 times and 2 times the gap length, further advantageously between 0.8 times and 1.2 times the gap length.
  • the exit fluid flow can flow directly through the viscosity-dependent throttle, and can thus be controlled directly through the throttle depending on its viscosity.
  • the flushing device comprises a two-stage valve with a main piston for controlling the outlet fluid flow and a control stage, the viscosity-dependent throttle being arranged in the control stage.
  • the increasing amount of throttle due to the decreasing viscosity thus ensures a higher control current, through which the main piston is likewise deflected accordingly in order to generate an increased feed fluid flow.
  • a throttle piston is provided for setting a defined pressure difference via the viscosity-dependent throttle, which is acted upon by the inlet pressure of the flushing device.
  • the throttle piston is advantageously arranged behind the viscosity-dependent throttle and controls the flow of the hydraulic fluid to the tank.
  • the throttle piston can form a pressure control valve which is acted upon on one side with the pressure on the inlet side of the flushing device and on the other side with the pressure behind the viscosity-dependent throttle.
  • a throttle piston can be provided if the viscosity-dependent throttle is arranged in the control stage of a two-stage valve.
  • a change-over valve is also provided in the present invention, through which the outlet fluid flow is always taken from the side of the hydraulic circuit on which the lower load pressure is present.
  • This lower load pressure usually corresponds to the feed pressure.
  • the shuttle valve and the viscosity-dependent throttle can be designed separately.
  • a shuttle valve can be used the viscosity-dependent throttle or a two-stage valve, in the control stage of which the viscosity-dependent throttle is arranged, are connected in series.
  • the viscosity-dependent throttle can be integrated in the switching valve.
  • the switching valve advantageously has a piston and is designed such that the piston is acted upon on opposite sides by the pressure of the two sides of the closed hydraulic circuit. Depending on the pressure conditions, the piston releases the connection between one or the other side with the tank, the piston connecting the low-pressure side to the tank.
  • connection between the low-pressure side and the tank takes place in each case via a viscosity-dependent throttle, which according to the invention thus adjusts the feed fluid flow as a function of the temperature of the hydraulic fluid.
  • a viscosity-dependent throttle which according to the invention thus adjusts the feed fluid flow as a function of the temperature of the hydraulic fluid.
  • two viscosity-dependent throttles are provided, each associated with one side of the closed hydraulic circuit.
  • At least one pilot piston can be provided in the piston, which prevents a flushing flow below a certain minimum pressure on the low pressure side.
  • the pilot piston can be biased against a spring force which must first be overcome by the pressure on the low pressure side in order to enable a flushing flow.
  • the length of the viscosity-dependent throttle is set by the pressure difference between the high and the low pressure side.
  • the length of the throttle advantageously decreases with an increase in the pressure difference, so that a correspondingly higher volume flow is achieved with a higher pressure difference.
  • the viscosity-dependent throttle is advantageously formed by an annular gap between the piston and a valve housing, the length of the viscosity-dependent throttle changing when the piston is displaced.
  • the flushing device has a temperature sensor, via which a control valve for controlling the outlet fluid flow is activated.
  • a control valve for controlling the outlet fluid flow is activated.
  • This enables an even more flexible control of the exit fluid flow based on the temperature.
  • the exit fluid flow can be increased with increasing temperature and reduced with decreasing temperature.
  • the temperature of the hydraulic fluid is advantageously regulated to a predetermined temperature by the flushing device. In particular, this temperature can be adjustable.
  • An electronic control is advantageously used for evaluating the data of the temperature sensor and for controlling the control valve.
  • At least one pressure sensor can also be provided, the outlet fluid flow being controlled on the basis of the data from the pressure sensor.
  • the outlet fluid flow is advantageously controlled as a function of the pressure difference between the high and low pressure sides.
  • the outlet fluid flow can be increased as the pressure difference increases.
  • the exit fluid flow can be controlled as a function of the pressure on the low pressure side.
  • the exit function only starts at a certain minimum pressure on the low pressure side. This can prevent the occurrence of sudden pressure drops due to the insertion of the outlet.
  • a pressure reducing valve in combination with an orifice or a proportional flow control valve can be provided as the control valve.
  • the control valve for controlling the outlet fluid flow can be designed separately from a switching valve or combined with it.
  • a 2-way proportional flow control valve can be provided, which also serves as a switching and control valve.
  • the present invention is particularly preferably used in a hydraulic system whose feed pump is designed as a variable displacement pump.
  • the power loss through the feed pump can be reduced, the feed quantity consumed and thus the power loss being reduced as a result of the need-based feed-out of the hydraulic fluid according to the present invention.
  • the feed pump is advantageously controlled as required.
  • the feed pump can be designed as a pressure regulator.
  • a flushing device for a hydraulic system as described above is also presented as an illustrative example.
  • the flushing device comprises a viscosity-dependent throttle. Furthermore, the flushing device is advantageously constructed as described above.

  • Advantageous configurations have also already been described above.
  • a method for operating a hydraulic system is shown with a closed hydraulic circuit comprising a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor with a flushing device for discharging a part of the hydraulic fluid from the closed circuit.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that the exit fluid flow is changed as a function of the temperature of the hydraulic fluid.

  • the method advantageously serves to operate a hydraulic system as described above. Further advantageously, the hydraulic system is operated in the manner that has also already been described above.
  • the present invention enables flushing according to need by taking the circuit temperature into account. This improves the energetic design of the flushing function. Furthermore, a sudden switching on of the flushing is prevented, which would otherwise lead to a drop in feed pressure, as in the prior art.

  • the present closed hydraulic circuit is a hydraulic circuit with two flow directions, so that depending on the pumping direction of the pump 1, either the load side A or the load side B works as a high pressure side, while the other side works as a low pressure side.
  • the pump 1 and / or the motor 2 can be designed as an adjustment unit. Furthermore, the pump 1 can be driven by a motor 4, while the hydraulic motor 2 drives a device 3.
  • the lower load pressure (generally corresponds to the feed pressure) of a flushing device 8 according to the invention is now supplied via the shuttle valve 7 in order to feed out part of the hot oil from the circuit and thus to avoid overheating.
  • the flushing device 8 according to the invention is in here Figure 1 drawn as a separate unit to the shuttle valve 7, but can also be combined with this.
  • the shuttle valve 7 is designed in such a way that, from a certain pressure difference between the load side A and the load side B, a flushing function begins and a certain flow of exit fluid is discharged.
  • the rinsing device 8 is now designed such that this feed fluid flow depends on the temperature of the hydraulic fluid. In this way, a flush that is tailored to the needs is achieved.
  • the present invention makes use of the fact that the viscosity of the hydraulic fluid drops with increasing temperature.
  • the exit fluid flow can therefore be variable as a function of the temperature by means of a viscosity-dependent throttle, so that a lot of exit fluid flow is produced when the oil is hot, and the temperature in the closed circuit can thus be reduced.
  • the length of the gap is more than twice as large as its height, advantageously more than five times and furthermore advantageously more than ten times. If a bore is used, its length is advantageously also more than twice as large as its diameter, furthermore advantageously more than five times and furthermore advantageously more than ten times.

As a result, the effective annular gap 33 becomes shorter and the feed fluid flow increases in inverse proportion to the length of the annular gap 33. Furthermore, damping of the movement of the piston 31 can be provided. For example, the increase in the feed fluid flow can be delayed over the bore 34 in the event of a sudden increase in load pressure. In this way, feed pressure drops in the closed circuit can be prevented. Basically, however, more feed fluid flow is generated at high load pressures. Furthermore, the tank line T can be used as a limitation of the maximum feed fluid flow, e.g. B. by combination with a limiting nozzle.
