METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INDICATION OF THE POSITION OF HYDRAULICALLY ACTUATED ARMATURES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for indicating the position of a hydraulically actuated armature, having a piston (1.21) in a cylinder (1.2) for actuating the armature (1.1), which cylinder is connected by means of two hydraulic lines (2, 3) to a switch valve (7) through which the hydraulic lines can be switched between pressure-conducting feed flow and pressureless return flow, wherein the flow of the hydraulic fluid flowing through one of the hydraulic lines is converted into a number of electric pulses, each of which corresponds to a pre-determined unit of volume of the hydraulic fluid, the switch valve (7) is connected to supply lines (P, T), to which further switch valves (7) are connected for actuating further armatures (1.n), the switch valves (7) are connected via a branch line (T1) to the return line (T) common to all armatures, and wherein at each switch valve (7) in the branch line (T1) to the return line (T), a preload pressure is maintained which is higher than the pressure in the common return line (T).;Furthermore, a program is provided which processes the pulses of the throughflow sensor and carries out a learning cycle.

1. Method for indicating the position of a hydraulically actuated armature, having a cylinder (1.2) for actuating the armature (1.1) which is connected by means of two hydraulic lines (2, 3) to a switch valve (7) through which the hydraulic lines can be switched between pressure-conducting feed flow and pressureless return flow, wherein the flow of the hydraulic fluid flowing through one of the hydraulic lines is converted into a number of electric pulses, each of which pulses corresponds to a pre-determined unit of volume of the hydraulic fluid,
the switch valve (7) is connected to supply lines (P, T), to which further switch valves (7) are connected for actuating further armatures (1.n), and the switch valves (7) are connected via a branch line (T1) to the return line (T) common to all armatures (1.1 to 1.n), characterised in that at each switch valve (7) in the branch line (T1) to the return line (T), a preload pressure is maintained which is higher than the pressure in the common return line (T).
