Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Load-Sensing-Schaltung für eine wenigstens einen Verbraucher (2) über mindestens eine Arbeitsleitung (3) antreibende, nullhubgeregelte Hydropumpe (1) verstellbaren Fördervolumens (V), mit einem auf einen Sollwert des Volumenstroms (Q) der Hydropumpe (1) einstellbaren Regelventil (16), dessen Ventilkörper (22) über eine erste Meßfläche (MF1, MF'1) vom Arbeitsdruck (pA) der Hydropumpe (1) gegen eine Gegenkraft (FG) in Richtung einer Arbeitsstellung und über eine zweite Meßfläche (MF2, MF'2) vom Lastdruck (pL) des Verbrauchers (2) gleichsinnig mit der Gegenkraft (FG) in Richtung einer anderen Arbeitsstellung beaufschlagbar ist, wobei das Regelventil (16) in der einen Arbeitsstellung eine Verstellung der Hydropumpe (1) auf kleineres und in der anderen Arbeitsstellung auf größeres Fördervolumen (V) hervorruft. Um mit geringerem konstruktiven Aufwand ein stabileres Betriebsverhalten zu erreichen, ist eine Rückmeldeeinrichtung (17, 36) vorgesehen zur Erzeugung einer dem Volumenstrom (Q) oder dem eingestellten Fördervolumen (V) der Hydropumpe (1) entsprechenden und auf den Ventilkörper (22) wirkenden Rückmeldekraft (FR), die die Beaufschlagung des Ventilkörpers (22) durch die Gegenkraft (FG) und damit die Sollwerteinstellung des Regelventils (16) gegensinnig zu Änderungen des Volumenstroms (Q) bzw. Fördervolumens (V) ändert.

The invention relates to a load-sensing circuit for a delivery volume (V) adjustable at least one consumer (2) which drives the zero-stroke-controlled hydraulic pump (1) via at least one working line (3), with a delivery volume (V) which is set to a setpoint value for the volume flow (Q) of the hydraulic pump ( 1) adjustable control valve (16), the valve body (22) via a first measuring surface (MF 1 , MF ' 1 ) of the working pressure (p A ) of the hydraulic pump (1) against a counterforce (F G ) in the direction of a working position and via a second measuring surface (MF 2 , MF ' 2 ) of the load pressure (p L ) of the consumer (2) can be acted upon in the same direction with the counterforce (F G ) in the direction of another working position, the control valve (16) in one working position adjusting the Hydraulic pump (1) to a smaller and in the other working position to a larger delivery volume (V). In order to achieve a more stable operating behavior with less design effort, a feedback device (17, 36) is provided for generating a feedback force corresponding to the volume flow (Q) or the adjusted delivery volume (V) of the hydraulic pump (1) and acting on the valve body (22) (F R ), which changes the action of the valve body (22) by the counterforce (F G ) and thus the setpoint setting of the control valve (16) in the opposite direction to changes in the volume flow (Q) or delivery volume (V).
