Fig. 2 shows the combination type open loop for mixed in transit car and the schematic diagram of closed loop pumping system 200.
Pumping system 200 shown in Fig. 2 includes open loop feed lines, for driving the variable volume of tank motor to close
Ring pumping system and for driving the variable volume open-loop pump system of auxiliary part of mixed in transit car.Control
Circuit 280 includes a number of component for being connected and disconnected from open loop and closed circuit.
Feed lines includes providing for charging and controlling for by shown partially the closing in A side and B side
The supply pump 202 of the pressure of ring hydrostatic driver circuit.Supply pump 202 via main aspiration line from
Reservoir 204 pumping hydraulic fluid.Suction screen cloth or filter 206 prevent the chip from reservoir 204
It is inhaled in system.Supply pump 202 by power source or motor 208(typically, explosive motor or
Motor) drive.In shown system, shared motor 208 via integral drive to all supplies
Pump 202, open-loop pump 210 and closed loop pump 212 provide power.In such an embodiment, supply pump 202
Can be integrated in an assembly with pump 212 and pump 210.In other embodiments, can be to supply
Pump 202 uses dedicated motor.The volume of supply pump 202 can be required or it by concrete application as required
Its factor determines.But, in commercial embodiment, it is usable in high tickover RPM dirty
The pump of amount about 8 gpms to about 12 gpms, but it is contemplated that other capacity.
The feed pressure that charging relief valve 214 controls to include in the closed circuit of pump 212 is arranged and relevant
Control requirement.Pass through additionally, this relief valve 214 will utilize low-pressure safety valve 216 to balance to provide
The suitably oil stream of the pump case of pump 212 and the motor shell of motor 218.The outlet stream of supply pump 202
Cross feed pressure filter 220 enter the low-pressure side of hydrostatic driver circuit with cleaning and enter setting
The control valve of pump volume (spool control valve 234 and solenoid 236,238, as described in more detail below)
Oil.After filtration, hydraulic fluid enters the closed loop fluid circuit being positioned at low-pressure side.Shown
In embodiment, the low-pressure side of closed loop fluid circuit represents with A.Check-valves 222 allows feed pressure to enter
Enter the low-pressure side of circuit.Low-pressure side is the reflux side of the entrance close to pump 212.Check-valves 224 prevents
On high-tension side stream from closed loop fluid circuit.If motor direction of rotation reverses, then B side becomes low
The reflux side of pressure.In this configuration, hydraulic fluid enters closed-loop via check-valves 222, and stops
Returning valve 224 prevents fluid from flowing out from high voltage supply side.Power limits valve 226,228 and is positioned at check-valves
222, between 224 and pump 212.These power limits valve and is typically set to be in sealing fluid line
Under maximum allowble pressure in road.In certain embodiments, valve 226 and 228 about 5000 to about
Activate under 6000PSI.At this pressure, closing stream will be made by the stream of power restriction valve 226,228
Feed pressure in body circuit is reduced to pump 212 and will reduce due to the spring in piston 230 or 232
The degree of stroke, thus overcome the feed pressure of reduction and wobbler is urged into centre position.Rotation
Turn swash plate pivoting angle directly related with rate of discharge because it affect pump piston whole inwardly and to
Outer movement.When wobbler is pivoted to centre position, there is not the outwardly or inwardly motion of pump piston,
Therefore flow is reduced to zero output.Wobbler can be controlled so as to through centre position, and output stream
It is brought out from the second port, thus causes motor to be driven in reverse direction.
Supply pump 202 is also to spool control valve 234 delivering hydraulic fluid, and spool control valve 234 is for basis
Need to servo piston 230 or 232 fuel feeding to set flow and the direction of closed loop pump 212.Control sliding
Valve 234 includes two the control solenoids 236,238 controlled by electronic controller 240.Each solenoid
236,238 spool control valve 234 can be made to move, thus make feed pressure to two servo pistons 230,
One of them of 232 is open, so that the stroke of pump 212 is in the desired direction.Servo piston 230,
232 also control flow.Servo piston 230 makes wobbler move to arrive fluid drives when pressurization
The A side of sealing fluid ring.Similarly, servo piston 232 makes wobbler move to incite somebody to action when pressurization
Fluid drives is to the B side of sealing fluid ring, thus retains the direction of pump 212 and therefore motor 218.
In another embodiment, can use two-position, three-way valve that stream is conducted directly to two servo pistons
230, one of them of 232.This configuration eliminating guiding valve 234 and being used for is made guiding valve 234 with servo
Control the similar mode of ring to move with the feedback element needing to maintain set volume according to controller 240
242.Setting position is at least partially based on the horse as utilized velocity sensor 244 to record by controller 240
Reach the requirement speed of 218 and determine.
It addition, supply pump 202 is also to closed loop pump 212 and the hydrostatic motor 218 of driving agitator tank
Conveying cooling hydraulic fluid stream.Cooling fluid from closed loop pump 212 enters through hydraulic cooler 246
Entering reservoir, this reservoir can be unit reservoir 204.Cooling fluid passes through the housing of motor 218 and passes
Delivering to reservoir, this reservoir can also be unit reservoir 204.According to concrete application demand, the need to
Further management to feed stream, then can use optional solenoid 248.This will help ensure that suitable
When cooling and by motor 218 and the maximum pressure requirement of the housing of closed loop pump 212.Solenoid 248
Can be controlled by electronic controller 240, depend on concrete operations condition.
First fluid circuit is included under the first configuration for closed loop fluid circuit in this case
Hydraulic fluid is made to move to B side (high-pressure side or supply side) from A side (low-pressure side or reflux side)
Closed loop variable delivery pump 212.As it has been described above, closed loop pump 212 is driven by motor 208 and its output stream
Can be reversed so that hydraulic motor 218 rotates along positive direction or opposite direction as control order.
In some commercial embodiment, closed loop pump 212 can produce from about 30 gpms to about 35 gpms
Maximum stream flow, but imagination has other pump of other capacity.Closed loop pump 212 directly drives
Fix or the hydrostatic motor 218 of variable volume.Can be based on being specifically used for determining motor 218
Size.
Rotating speed and the direction of motor output driving shaft 250 measured by velocity sensor 244.This speed recorded
Degree is used as the input to controller 240, and controller 240 controls two pumps 212 and 210 provides suitable
When flow make, to meet, the expectation rotating speed that axle 250 rotates.Axle 250 can be to advance circuit, transport
Mixer tank driver circuit or usually arbitrarily rotation driving application.Reversal valve 252 allows superfluous charging
(that is, fluid) flows through and is left this circuit by charging relief valve 216.Reversal valve 252 also allows for surplus
Charging, by motor shell, thus cools down and lubricates the internals of motor 218.Charging relief valve 216
Charging relief valve 214 is utilized to balance to guarantee the suitable flow of the housing by motor 218.
If necessary or desired, it is possible to utilize and control aperture or pressure compensated flow actuator
254 get around the housing of motor 218 with a part for permission feed stream.It should be pointed out that, from pump
210 and the merging of stream of supply pump 202 cause than the stream typically encountered in traditional closed-loop drive system
Measure much higher flow.It is directed through hydraulic cooler 246 from the stream of flow regulator 254 output
Or be only delivered directly to reservoir, as it can be seen, depend on the consideration that system size determines.Or,
Special cooler can be installed in the downstream of flow regulator 254.
Open fluid circuit is driven by the variable delivery pump 210 from unit reservoir 204 suction of hydraulic fluid.
In one embodiment, the pressure compensation variable delivery pump that circuit pump 210 can be load sensing is opened.
Pump 210 includes pressure limit feed back control system 210A and load sensing feed back control system 210B two
Person, common in arbitrary load induction line.The volume of pump 210 will be determined by application demand,
But in some commercial embodiment, it is contemplated that be up to about the flow of 15 gpms.Pump 210 is by from horse
Reach the directly driving of 208 or driven by dedicated motor.Output from pump 210 flow to by controller
240 proportional solenoids 262 controlled.As described below, controller 240 activating solenoids 262 is to permit
Permitted fluid and flowed into closed circuit from pump 210, wanted as being based partially on the speed setting needed for motor 218
As asking.When typical tag axle circuit needs stream, controller 240 starts another electromagnetic valve
256 so that pump proceeds to pressure limit state.In other circuit, it may not be necessary to electromagnetic valve 256 or
Tradition load induced signal can be fed as an alternative so that pump regulation stroke is institute via reversal valve 258
The flow needed.If necessary or desired, lead to auxiliary line stream can by air relief valve 260 with
Protection auxiliary line component is from excessive pressure.
When solenoid 262 is positioned to provide from the stream of open circuit pump 210 to sealing fluid ring, should
Flow by hydraulicdirectional control valve 264 the stream from pump 210 to be directed to the high-pressure side of this closed loop.Open
Other element of fluid line includes allowing the outlet pump pressure from pump 210 to be directed back into pump 210
On load sensing feedback pilot valve make pump 210 increase the check-valves 266 of flow.Proportional solenoid 262
Position by form pump 210 will response produce the requirement stream needed for the requirement rotating speed meeting motor 218
The pressure margin of amount.Proportional solenoid 262 is controlled to realize motor 218 by electronic controller 240
Desired output speed.Additionally, check-valves 266 will prevent any stream from pump 210 from requiring pump 210
Enter closed loop system and do not merge with the stream from closed loop pump 212 when miscellaneous function is provided.Check-valves 268
Sealing fluid circuit need not prevent from during the stream from pump 210 driving line from closed loop fluid static(al)
The backflow on road.Reversal valve 258 allows to lead to when merging when with closed loop pump circuit the load sense of pump 210
Induction signal or the load induced signal from auxiliary line.Aperture and filter 270 do not have at pump 210
Load induced signal is released when having traffic requirement.Outlet pressure is reduced to low pressure and treats by this releasing aperture 270
Machine is arranged, thus reduces the power loss when need not the function of pump 210.

Fig. 6 A and 6B show control as controlled by electronic controller 240 for mixed in transit car
A kind of method 600 of pumping system (the such as pumping system 200 shown in Fig. 2).Similar method is conceived to
It is used for controlling the system shown in Fig. 3-5 and will be apparent to for a person skilled in the art.
Method 600 receives with controller and indicates the signal (operation 602) in desired motor 218 direction to start.
The particular requirement direction of rotation of some function and motor 218 and therefore tank is relevant.Such as, stir, clearly
Wash and typically require that tank is rotated in a first direction with transportation function.Concrete is released operation and is typically required that
Tank along second, contrary direction rotates.In certain embodiments, some pattern (such as, stirring)
Automatically can program with setting speed, but shown method imagination is for the gearshift adjustment of all patterns.As
The really desired direction of the operator direction change (operation 604) of selection before the motor of operating,
The pump of any operating then can be slowed or stopped before changing flow direction.First, it should reduce or complete
Full cut-off stops the output (operation 606) of open-loop pump 210, and closed loop pump 212 then should be made to slow down
And then stop (operation 608).Once the operating of pump 212 is fully slowed down, and just changes spool control valve
The position (operation 610) of 234.Reversal valve 264 the most typically changes position in response to pressure change
(operation 612), but be used as requiring actuating based on the signal sent from electronic controller 240
Reversal valve.
After the flow direction being set by circuit, electronic controller 240 receives and represents that tank speed sets
The signal (operation 614) put.Equally, tank speed sets and (such as, can stir with certain operational modes
Mix) relevant, but operator's Non-follow control may be more preferably.If this speed is arranged less than closed loop pump 212
Maximum stream flow (operation 616), then this algorithm (behaviour that next judges whether electromagnetic valve 262 closes
Make 618), so that it is guaranteed that open-loop pump 210 is isolated with closed loop fluid circuit.Hereafter, regulation closed loop pump
The flow of 212, until it meets desired speed set point (operation 620).Hereafter, this algorithm etc.
Treat the further regulation that speed is arranged.Alternately or additionally, this algorithm may wait for direction arrange enter one
Step saves.Anyway, it is desirable to motor direction or the regulation further that arranges of motor speed will make calculation
Method returns to suitable position to continue the control of pump circuit.
Return speed determines inquiry (operation 616), if it is desired to speed set and close less than maximum
Ring pump 212 fluid ability (operation 622), first by volume or the Flow-rate adjustment of closed loop pump 212
For its maximum setting (operation 624).If closed loop pump 212 is in its maximum setting (operation 622),
Then next this algorithm judges from whether the stream of open-loop pump 210 flow to auxiliary or open fluid circuit
(operation 626).If be clearly not, then this algorithm first ensures that (operation opened by electromagnetic valve 262
628) (so that it is guaranteed that the connection between open-loop pump 210 and sealing fluid circuit), then regulates open loop
The output flow of pump 210 is to meet desired speed level (operation 630).Disclosed this defeated
Outflow controls.If open-loop pump 210 is to auxiliary line conveyance fluid (operation 626), then
Opening electromagnetic valve 262(operation 628) and regulate open-loop pump 210(operation 630) before by closing
Close electromagnetic valve 256 or control auxiliary valve function (not shown in Fig. 2) makes auxiliary flow to stop operation
Body circuit disconnects (operation 632).After adjustment, as it has been described above, this algorithm may wait for making into
Till the speed of one step or direction regulation.
Imagination controls other method of pumping system.Such as, said method imagination two-position reversal valve 264.
In the system embodiment shown in Fig. 2, reversal valve 264 includes three positions, and each position is used to
Guide from the A side of closed circuit or the output of B side, and the 3rd, centre position, and due to
Line pressure and automatically activated.It is used as the valve needing to be activated by electronic controller.Although it is above-mentioned
Method points out that reversal valve 264 is automatically moved to appropriate location based on pressure, but alternative embodiment can include
Require directly to activate and the reversal valve of the therefore amendment of this algorithm.Additionally, closed loop pump 212 can be solid
Constant volume pump, and open-loop pump 10 can be variable delivery pump.Therefore, gearshift adjustment will only can exceed solid
The maximum output flow of constant volume pump, this will need slightly different control.But, having two can
Capacity pump allows greater flexibility and control.Such as, two pumps can be regulated the most respectively
Volume.That is, replace once closed loop pump 212 to be set to maximum volume and just regulate open-loop pump 210
Volume, just can make open-loop pump 210 volume maximize and closed loop pump 212 can be regulated as required
Volume.This can be due to mechanically or electrically problem and nothing in the case of failure of pump or at a pump
Method provides redundancy in the case of reaching maximal rate.Imagine other amendment and control sequence.
Said pump system can be sold as external member in a packaging or in multiple packagings.External member
