Abstract
Abstract An adjustable hydrostatic machine is connected to a pressure line with impressed system pressure. The pressure difference applied at the machine is set at a control valve so that the stroke volume of the machine in idling operation is set to an adjustment belonging to a predetermined load torque. In idling operation the machine is thus operated at large stroke volume with small pressure difference. If it is then necessary to furnish the load torque a switching valve is opened so that at the machine the full pressure difference is immediately applied, the machine can furnish the desired torque and the time loss necessary for setting the machine is eliminated.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
Hydrostatic machine comprising an adjusting means for adjusting the displacment or absorption volume of said machine in response to a pressure condition for maintaining a predetermined machine output, comprising a connection line between said machine to each of a high-pressure line and a low-pressure line, characterized in valve means for controlling the flow through one of said connection lines to provide a first restricted flow when said valve means is in a first position during idling operation of said machine for effecting said adjusting means of said machine to set the displacement or absorption volume thereof to a value corresponding to a predetermined load torque, said valve means being operable to a second position for providing substantially unrestricted flow through said one connection line on occurrence of the predetermined load torque for immediately effecting that load torque output from said machine without necessitating resetting of said adjusting means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
Hydrostatic machine comprising an adjusting means for adjusting the displacment or absorption volume of said machine in response to a pressure condition for maintaining a predetermined machine output, comprising a connection line between said machine to each of a high-pressure line and a low-pressure line, characterized in valve means for controlling the flow through one of said connection lines to provide a first restricted flow when said valve means is in a first position during idling operation of said machine for effecting said adjusting means of said machine to set the displacement or absorption volume thereof to a value corresponding to a predetermined load torque, said valve means being operable to a second position for providing substantially unrestricted flow through said one connection line on occurrence of the predetermined load torque for immediately effecting that load torque output from said machine without necessitating resetting of said adjusting means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A hydrostatic machine as set forth in claim 1 wherein the valve means comprises a switching valve movable between a closed position for preventing flow and an open position for permitting unrestricted flow and a parallel control valve for permitting restricted flow.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
Hydrostatic machine according to claim 2, characterized in that the switching valve is a controlled check valve opening in the direction towards the high pressure line with impressed system pressure.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
Hydrostatic machine according to claim 2, characterized in that the control valve is electrically operable.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
Hydrostatic machine according to claim 2, characterized in that the control valve is a flow control valve in the connection line connected to the pressure line.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
16 words
A hydrostatic machine as set forth in claim 5 wherein the control valve is electrically operated.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
Hydrostatic machine according to claim 2, characterized in that the control valve is a pressure-reducing valve in the connection line connected to the pressure line.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
16 words
A hydrostatic machine as set forth in claim 7 wherein the control valve is electrically operated.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
Hydrostatic machine according to claim 2, characterized in that the control valve is a pressure-limiting valve in the connection line connected to the low-pressure line.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
16 words
A hydrostatic machine as set forth in claim 9 wherein the control valve is electrically operated.
