  • Hydraulic circuit for working machines and working machine Hydraulic circuit for working machines and working machine .
  • the present invention relates to a hydraulic circuit for working machines and a working machine.
  • the present invention basically concerns the working machines equipped with a stabilizing system with stabilizers implemented by means of hydraulic cylinders.
  • Stabilization step (the machine is stabilized in order to ensure its stability in the working conditions )
  • Aerial step air movement through movable arms or other equipments to move people or loads
  • actuators usually consisting of cylinders or hydraulic motors. Said actuators are activated and controlled by means of valves that are intended to isolate, dosing or deflect the energy vector produced by the energy generation system that provides pressure and hydraulic flow to the extent required .
  • Proportional distributors have the purpose of finely dosing the power conveyed to the actuators in response to signals provided by a control unit to which to a control panel provided with levers joystick operable by an operator can also be connected.
  • the stabilization step is intended to provide a sufficiently broad supporting base to the machine to enable it to operate safely, that is, without risk of overturning.
  • This is achieved by means of stabilizers that are placed on the ground and suitably adjusted to reach a safety attitude.
  • the stabilizers are implemented as long as an inclinometer of the machine does not indicate a verticality error less than a value that is determined on the basis of the local safety regulations (commonly 2 to 5 degrees) and sensors intended to check the contact of the stabilizers with the ground does not detect the stabilization (that is, a firm contact of the stabilizers with the ground) .
  • Equally critical are the other operational phases of the machine that may require movements controlled with precision.
  • proportional valves also for managing the phase translation and/or the aerial phases.
  • proportional distributors are particularly expensive and require a relatively complex and consequently expensive control system, which results in a corresponding complexity of the control unit and, therefore, a relatively high cost of the latter.
  • the proportional valves are equal in number to the movements requiring fine adjustment or control. Consequently, the number of such components of the hydraulic circuit is greater than the number of simultaneous movements requiring the proportional control.
  • DE102005048280A1 discloses a hydraulic circuit that can equip ' a working machine.
  • DE19633191A1 discloses a valve for hydraulic circuits.

  • a translation step in which the tracks are driven to move the machine to the selected working point and then spaced to increase the base width
  • a stabilization phase in which the actuators connected with the tracks ( 2) are disabled and the stabilizers (4) are extracted in order to have the machine stabilized in the desired safety configuration once reached the working point
  • an aerial phase in which operate only the actuators for moving the arm (3) are enabled, and all the other actuators are disabled.
  • the actuators controlling the stabilizers (4) and the arm (3) are disabled; when , the actuators controlling the stabilizers (4) are enabled, the hydraulic motor driving the tracks (2) and actuators driving the arm (3) are disabled; and, when the actuators driving the arm (3) are enabled, the hydraulic motor driving the tracks (2) and the actuators controlling the stabilizers (4) are disabled.
  • a hydraulic circuit in accordance with the present invention comprises:
  • control unit (C) connected to the power unit (P), to the proportional distribution unit (D) and to the flow diverter (DF) ;

  • the actuators (Tl , T2, T3, T4) of the group (GT) are four in number and control the movements of the tracks and the distance between the tracks to adjust the base width and / or perform auxiliary functions;
  • actuators (SI, S2, S3, S4) of the group ( GS) are also four in number and control the movements of the stabilizers (4).
  • the actuators (Al, A2, A3, A ) of the group (GA) control the various sections of the articulated arm (3) to place and move it as desired
  • the actuators (Tl, T2, T3, T4) of the group (GT) are hydraulic motors for driving the tracks (2) and actuators which approach or move away the same tracks to vary the width of the base depending on the working condition of the machine (tracks close when the machine translates/tracks spaced when the machine is parked in the selected working point )

  • each of the groups (GA, GT, GS) comprises four actuators operable simultaneously for each of which the control is provided by means of a corresponding proportional distributor, and since the use of the actuators of a group excludes the use of the actuators of the other groups, the proportional valves are four in number (which corresponds to the maximum number of f actuators of any group that can be activated simultaneously) .
  • the execution of a phase excludes the execution of the other phases, there is a maximization of the use of the proportional distributors by diverting the action of the same proportional distributors on the group of actuators that must be active in the selected working phase.
  • the control panel (CO) comprises a multi-position selector (S) (for example, the selector can assume three positions corresponding to three groups of actuators served by proportional distributors) and more joystick-type command levers (Jl, J2, J3, J4 ) (for example, four joystick-type command levers, i.e. one joystick-type command levers for each proportional distributor of the unit D) .

  • the control unit (C) can be programmed to perform the following: by means of the control panel (CO) it is started the return phase of the stabilizers (4), phase that can be executed only if the machine is in a rest safety state; then, the control unit (C) simultaneously operates the actuators of all the stabilizers at identical speeds to obtain the return of the latter in their rest position, and stops the actuators when the respective sensors (ST) detect the lack of contact with the ground; when all the stabilizers are raised, the unit (C) commands their return to the respective initial positions.
