Flow management system for hydraulic work machine

A flow management system capable of providing adjustable hydraulic fluid flow or pressure at a common line to supply bidirectional pumps in electro-hydrostatic actuation systems and conditioning re-circulated hydraulic fluid. The system enables flow sharing between multiple actuation systems and minimization of energy consumption by a power-on-demand approach and / or electrical energy regeneration while eliminating the need for an accumulator. The system has particular application to electro-hydrostatic actuation systems that typically include bi-directional electric motor driven pumps and unbalanced hydraulic actuators connected within closed circuits to provide work output against external loads and reversely recover energy from externally applied loads.

Hydraulic braking system for automobiles

The invention relates to a vehicle hydraulic brake system with electrohydraulic brake boosting by a piston pump. In order to reduce pressure pulsations on an intake side of the multi-piston pump, the brake system embodies a multi-piston pump, for example, as a six-piston pump with stepped pistons that are driven with an alternating phase shift of 30° and 90° in relation to one another. The phase shift of the drive of the stepped pistons is selected so that the intake volume flows have a uniform phase shift, by which the total intake volume flow of the multi-piston pump has a reduced amplitude of the pressure pulsation, which reduces the repercussions on a master cylinder.

This can be accomplished by causing the piston to turn relative to the housing and the sealing element(s) during axial movement in the housing and / or by installing one or more dampers between the piston and the housing and / or between the piston and the piston rod. The dampers can constitute separately produced parts and / or specially configured and / or finished surfaces provided on the piston and contacting the housing and / or the sealing element(s). The invention also relates to improvements in the configuration and / or the material(s) of the piston.

Eccentric cam brake booster

An electric power booster (12) where driver command is monitored by a transducer (38) on an input rod (34). This signal is converted to the appropriate voltage / current and operates an electric motor (42). The motor output shaft (68) is connected to a planetary gear reducer (72) appropriately sized to provide no more than + / −1 / 4 turn of an eccentric cam (14). Two master cylinders (16, 18) power piston rods (22, 24) ride diametrically opposed on the cam surface (20). As the cam rotates the piston rods are forced out pressurizing the respective hydraulic circuits and thereby providing fluid to each brake circuit (28, 30). In the event of power failure as well as to augment the output of the motor, the input rod is mechanically linked directly to the cam offset from the center allowing the driver to manually rotate the cam thereby pressurizing the brake circuits.

The hydraulic linear actuator system of the present invention includes a pump that is configured to rotate in a single direction at a substantially constant velocity. Both the direction and flow rate of fluid through the system is controlled by adjusting the positional relationship between the stator and the rotor of the pump. This positional relationship is adjustable between a forward flow state, a non-flow state and a reverse flow state. The hydraulic linear actuator is responsive to the flow of fluid through the system so as to be displaced in a first direction by the forward flow state of the pump and in a second direction by the reverse flow state of the pump.

Partially closed microfluidic system and microfluidic driving method

InactiveUS6843263B2Extend fluid flowing distanceEasy to manufactureCircuit elementsRotary clutchesEngineering
This specification disclosed a partially closed microfluidic system and a fluid driving method. The microfluidic system is comprised of a substrate with microfluidic elements and a thin film. A feature of this structure is that the thin film is elastic and deformable. It has a single opening corresponding to a vent hole on the substrate, thus forming a partially closed microfluidic system. The substrate is designed to have several positions for micro fluid elements and deformable chambers and uses micro channels to form a complete network. Since the thin film is elastic and deformable, one is able to impose a pressure on the thin film above the deformable chambers in this partially closed microfluidic system to drive the fluid into motion. Once the pressure is released, the fluid flows back to its original configuration.

Liquid-gap electrostatic hydraulic micro actuators

A liquid-gap electrostatic hydraulic micro actuator is provided that produces higher displacement (in and out of plane) and larger force than typical electrostatic actuators by utilizing a non-conducting liquid as its dielectric material. This new class of actuators utilizes the liquid dielectric for hydraulic amplification and force transfer. The liquid electrostatic actuator consists of two chambers each forming a parallel-plate capacitor, filled with a non-conducting incompressible liquid. One chamber is compressed by pulling down a flexible membrane using electrostatic actuation, thus forcing the liquid under it to transfer into the other chamber. Such movement causes the other chamber's membrane to expand out of plane.

Hydraulic inerter mechanism

The invention provides a hydraulic inerter mechanism, including: a hydraulic cylinder; a hydraulic motor connected to the hydraulic cylinder, with an output shaft thereon for converting the motion of the hydraulic cylinder from rectilinear motion to rotary motion; and an inertia body disposed on the output shaft. In operation, an external force applied to the inerter mechanism causes displacement of the piston, thereby pushing working fluid inside the hydraulic cylinder to generate a pressure difference between an inlet and an outlet of a hydraulic motor. The differential pressure consequently drives the hydraulic motor to rotate, and then the output shaft further drives the inertia body to rotate, thereby attaining inerter characteristics.
