Description
2276673 IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS The invention relates to
improvements in hydraulic systems and in particular to a system for providing a positive flow of hydraulic fluid to a number of open-loop hydraulic pumps.
Many mobile machines, such as road sweeping machines, utilise hydraulic pumps for various duties. These duties can include propelling the vehicle via a hydrostatic transmission system, driving an exhauster fan with a hydraulic motor to generate the suction source for collecting debris, hydraulic drives for other apparatus such as brushes, water pumps, cylindrical actuators and so on. A feature often required of such mobile machines is that they are expected to work on various climatic conditions, from the hottest day in summer to the coldest day in winter without any adjustments having to be made.
Where the hydraulic pumps are "open-loop" pumps,, the pumps usually draw their oil directly from a reservoir which is used to pressurise the working circuit with the hydraulic fluid being returned to the reservoir via some sort of filter prior to recirculation. To serve the pump with fluid, the suction line, associated connections, isolation valves and so on need to be of suitably large proportions to ensure that cavitation does not occur in cold conditions or on initial start-up at the beginning of a working shift when the fluid is cold and naturally more viscous. This has the disadvantage that the pipework and associated equipment are generally larger than needed once the system has warmed up, which means an increase in weight of the apparatus and the cost. The positioning of the reservoir relative to the pumps is also fairly critical to ensure that positive pressure is provided to the pumps.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a hydraulic system which provides a positive supply of fluid at a controlled pressure which is sensitive to the viscosity of the oil and which overcomes these disadvantages.
According to the invention there is therefore provided a hydraulic system for providing a positive supply of hydraulic fluid at a controlled pressure to a plurality of pumps, comprising a fluid reservoir; said fluid reservoir having outlet means to supply fluid to an auxiliary pump; a pressure chamber communicating with said reservoir; said pressure chamber having outlet means to supply fluid to a plurality of working pumps, and inlet means for receiving fluid returned from the working and auxiliary pumps.
A preferred embodiment of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a hydraulic system according to the invention; and Fig. 2 is a graphical representation of the pressure characteristics of the invention of Fig. 1.
Referring to Fig. 1, there is provided a hydraulic system 10 comprising three open-loop hydraulic pumps 11, 12, 13. The three pumps 11, 12, 13 serve respectively working circuits lla, 12a, 13a which can include appartus and drives having any functions required.
The pumps 11. 12r 13 are supplied with hydraulic fluid 14 which is stored in a central reservoir 15. Integrated into the central reservoir is a pressure canister 16 which is in a generally cylindrical shape and has an open flange 17 at one end thereof. Bolted onto the open flange 17 is a ceiling manifold 18 which il provides connections 19 for the return lines 20 from the working circuits lla, 12a, 13a.
Inside the pressure canister 16 is a fine micronic filter 21 which filters the fluid returning from the working circuits.
At the opposite end of the canister 16 to the manifold 18 are provided means 22 for connecting the inlet of the pumps 11, 12, 13.
The pressure canister draws hydraulic fluid direct from the reservoir 15 via orifice 25. There is also a relief valve 26 which allows the pressure canister 16 to vent to the main reservoir at a certain preset pressure.
The system 10 also has an auxiliary pump 30, which may also supply a working circuit 30a. Pump 30 draws it working fluid directly from a main reservoir 15, rather than the pressure canister 16. but returns it to the pressure canister 16. The result is that pumps 11, 12, 13 are provided with a "boosted" inlet flow from the canister 16. The boost pressure created within the canister 16 is generated by the condition where the returning fluid to the canister 16 is of a greater volume than the output flow to the pump 11, 12, 13. The relief valve, set for example at one bar. enables any excess oil to be vented directly to the reservoir over the preset pressure.
The orifice 25 helps to provide thermal control related to oil temperature or viscosity. For instance when the oil is cold and more viscose, the boost pressure is at the one bar setting as the relief valves would be active. As the fluid warms up and becomes less viscose. the boost pressure will drop due to the relief valve closing with the orifice 25 solely providing the pressure influence. With an auxiliary flow of approximately 35 litres per minute, the orifice would normally be 5mm in diameter.
The hydraulic pressure control system 10 can thus compensate for pressure drop characteristics that can result from viscosity changes in the connections or pipework to the pumps, i.e. higher viscosity results in a higher boost pressure, whereas lower viscosity results in a lower boost pressure. This feature can be applied to a system where the pressure criteria of the actual pumps inlet port would be constant, regardless of what the viscosity index of the fluid is.
The orifice outlet 25 being submerced within the fluid in a main reservoir 15 also provides another function in that it allows the booster pumps during their initial priming process on first start-up to draw oil from the reservoir via this orifice.
Fig. 2 shows the boost pressure characteristics generated by the combination of the orifice and relief valve 26 with the peak value W being the relief valve setting value.
The invention therefore provides a system where a positive supply of hydraulic fluid can always be fed to the main circuit pumps at a controlled pressure; the system is sensitive to the viscosity of oil; the pipework proportions can be smaller due to a positive pressure influence, thus saving weight and cost; the positioning of the reservoir relative to the booster pumps is less critical with regard to being above or below the pumps, or its distance from them due to the possibility of a positive pressure influence.
