- it is necessary to regularly activate the movement of moving parts to avoid the appearance of wear or corrosion at contact points, or deposits in different places , especially in backgrounds and filters.
- the contact of immobile parts may cause occasional abrasion when the vehicle receives the vibrations of the rolling. Deposits can cause some polymerization, sticking of parts, or clogging of strainers, which can damage the surface when restarting the machines after a long time without activity, and significantly reduces their life.
- the high operating temperatures of such machines can cause premature aging of the operating fluid, by heating the stagnant deposits, in some particularly hot localized locations.

- the process E can be implemented while the vehicle is at stopping, typically at a traffic light, preferably at each start of the vehicle. This has the advantage of not interfering with the driving of the vehicle. In this case, if the mobile commissioning elements 21 1 are independent, then the scanning is only partial.
- the commissioning step E1 is implemented over a period corresponding to a complete rotation of a hydraulic machine 21, 23 of the vehicle, which makes it possible to move all the parts, and to completely renew the hydraulic fluid contained in the cylinders of the machine 21, 23, but also to circulate the hydraulic fluid in the pipes more completely.
- a rotation of a machine 21, 23 corresponds to a wheel revolution 33
- the duration will correspond to a complete rotation of a wheel 33.
- the method E may be implemented while the vehicle is stationary, typically at a traffic light, preferably at each start of the vehicle. In this case, if the mobile commissioning elements 21 1 are independent, then the scanning is only partial.
- the assistance device comprises a reservoir 12, a booster pump, preferably a contra-rotation pump, and a set of filters, for example a strainer 101. and a main filter 103, as previously described.
- a booster pump preferably a contra-rotation pump
- filters for example a strainer 101.
- main filter 103 as previously described.
- the method E then comprises the steps of putting E1 into operation the hydraulic machine 21, 23 during a determined period of time, for example by activating the booster pump 10, and deactivating E2 the hydraulic machine 21, 23, at the end. of the commissioning step E1, so as to circulate hydraulic fluid through the filters 101, 103 successively in two opposite traffic directions.
- the deactivation E2 can be implemented by deactivation of the booster pump 10, and reflux of the hydraulic fluid to the tank 12, or by activation of the booster pump 10. opposite direction, if it is counter-rotating.
- the commissioning E1 and deactivation steps 2 are implemented independently of a commitment command and / or disengagement assistance.
- the method E can then be implemented assistance being required elsewhere.
- the deactivation step E2 momentarily cuts off the assistance.
- the method E then provides a step of returning to service E3 consecutive to the deactivation step E2, so as to ensure the safety of the vehicle.
- the deactivation step E2 is implemented over a period corresponding to a wheel rotation 33 of the vehicle. In particular, if a rotation of a machine 21, 23 corresponds to a wheel revolution 23, the duration will correspond to a complete rotation of a wheel 23.
- the method E makes it possible to set the parts of the hydraulic assistance device 2 in regular motion, even if it is not used, which avoids localized wear or corrosions at the contact points of immobile parts. avoids having immobile hydraulic fluid that could receive repeated thermal cycles, and it avoids sedimentation or polymerization of the hydraulic fluid. Also, it allows unclogging filters 101, 103. By its effects, it keeps the hydraulic assist device 2 operational longer, between two periods of emptying the hydraulic fluid. It can also make it possible to space the emptying dates, and thus to reduce the operating cost of the system.
- the self-maintenance system 1 can be used for the benefit of any hydraulic traction assistance device, in particular for transforming a 4x2 vehicle into a 4x4 vehicle, or for assisting wheels carrying a vehicle, for example wheels truck axles, truck or trailer axles, axles for construction or agricultural machinery, low-speed temporary hydraulic drives for service or construction vehicles, referred to as "creep drives", or vehicles or convertible road / rail.
- any hydraulic traction assistance device in particular for transforming a 4x2 vehicle into a 4x4 vehicle, or for assisting wheels carrying a vehicle, for example wheels truck axles, truck or trailer axles, axles for construction or agricultural machinery, low-speed temporary hydraulic drives for service or construction vehicles, referred to as "creep drives", or vehicles or convertible road / rail.
