Disclosed embodiments incorporate a single variable displacement pump (224C; 310) that supplies pressurized fluid to a main control valve (320) (e.g., for lift, tilt, and auxiliary functions) and a bypass circuit (340). The main control valve supplies fluid to control lift, tilt, and auxiliary flow for implements. The bypass circuit combines flow with the output of the auxiliary section of the main control valve to optionally provide high-flow for selected implements. The single variable displacement pump can then be set to different output flow levels, with the bypass circuit functioning differently under different conditions to optimize hydraulic flow to carryout various tasks under various conditions.

CONTROL DEVICE FOR WORK MACHINE ON CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD

Номер: WO2011114974A1
Принадлежит:

Disclosed is a control device for a work machine on a construction vehicle such that a bucket cylinder is stopped at a target position, with high accuracy achieved in a bucket cylinder length, and with shock held down to a low level. A bucket cylinder length detection section (101) references a cylinder length detection table (102) on the basis of a boom angle and a bell crank angle, thereby detecting a bucket cylinder length. A bucket attitude control section (103) controls the bucket cylinder length so that a target position will be reached. Feedback control is performed until a set value which is set short of a target value is reached. After the bucket cylinder length reaches the set value, open loop control is performed until the target value is reached.

This invention includes a hydraulic pump (9), a working implement (107) having a lift cylinder (13) driven by a hydraulic fluid supplied from the hydraulic pump (9), an operating device (104) for operating the working implement (107), a traveling motor (7) for driving wheels, and a main controller (100). When the lift cylinder (13) fails to operate despite an extending instruction being imparted to the lift cylinder (13) via the operating device (104), the main controller (100) reduces a limit value for an increase rate of a torque required in the traveling motor (7) to a value smaller than that applied when the lift cylinder (13) operates. With this configuration, occurrence of wheel slip during lifting of an object to be carried can be reduced.

A method for automatically controlling the operation of a lift assembly of a work vehicle may generally include receiving an input associated with moving loader arms and/or an implement of the lift assembly to a pre-defined position and monitoring a position of the loader arms and/or the implement relative to the pre-defined position. In addition, while a reference point associated with the loader arms and/or the implement is located outside an outer threshold boundary associated with the pre-defined positon, the method may include transmitting a first command signals) to move the loader arms and/or the implement towards the pre-defined position. Moreover, when the reference point is moved within the outer threshold boundary, the method may include transmitting a second command signal(s) in order to ramp down a movement velocity of the loader arms and/or the implement as the loader arms and/or the implement is moved closer to the pre-defined position.
