Abstract
Abstract The pump has a regulating element whose position is controlled by means of a first and second piston. The first piston is kept under pressure by the output pressure of the pump. The output side of the pump is also connected to a throttle valve which has a cross-section allowing fluid flow which varies as a function of pressure. The pressure difference created at the throttle valve output relative to the throttle valve input acts on a three-position three-port control valve which control the pressure on the second piston accordingly. The second piston has a larger diameter than the first piston.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
218 words
In a pumping system including an adjustable pump furnishing a pumping pressure and a flow at an output side and having a regulating element for adjusting said flow and first and second pressure controlled pistons for adjusting said regulating element, in which said second piston has a diameter larger than said first piston, a control system for maintaining the product of said pumping pressure times flow constant, comprising, in combination, throttle valve means having a throttle valve inlet connected to the output side of said pump, a throttle valve outlet, and a cross-sectional flow area varying as a function of said pump pressure, for creating a pressure difference between said throttle valve inlet and said throttle valve outlet, said pressure difference increasing with the decrease of said cross-sectional area; additional throttling means connected to said throttle valve means and having a constant cross-section; pressure limiting means connected to the output side of said additional throttling means; means for applying said pumping pressure to said first pressure controlled piston; control valve means for varying the pressure acting on said second pressure controlled piston as a function of a pressure difference applied to said control valve means; and means for applying said pressure difference created by said throttle valve means and said additional throttle means to said control valve means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
A system as set forth in claim 1, further comprising a first and second chamber respectively accommodating said first and second piston and a first and second conduit respectively communicating with said first and second chamber; and wherein said control valve means is interposed between said first and second conduit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A system as set forth in claim 2, further comprising receptacle means for holding liquid; and wherein said second chamber communicates with said receptacle means under control of said control valve means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said flow-through cross-section decreases in accordance with a hyperbolic function of the pressure difference.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
127 words
A system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said throttle valve means comprises a throttle valve having a throttle valve bore, a control spring mounted in said throttle valve bore, a spool slidably mounted in said throttle valve bore with a snug fit and movable against the force of said spring by said pumping pressure, said spool having a slot having a variable cross-sectional area for permitting liquid flow therethrough; an exit conduit having an exit bore, said throttle valve bore having an annular tee section of increased diameter for communicating with said exit bore, said tee section having a control face cooperating with said slot to limit the open cross-sectional area thereof in correspondence to the relative position of said slot to said control face.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
58 words
A system as set forth in claim 5, wherein said spool is formed with a blind bore extending from one end of said spool into the latter, said slot communicating with said blind bore and having a substantially triangular cross-section having a base adjacent said control face, said control spring acting on the other end of said spool.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
A system as set forth in claim 5, wherein the initial stress in said control spring is adjustable.
