Hydraulic system
View Patent ↗A hydraulic system for actuating a clutch and/or a variable speed drive unit of a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission of a vehicle, such as a commercial vehicle, and having a variable transmission ratio and a torque sensor. The hydraulic system includes at least one hydraulic energy source. A selector and check valve is provided for supplying additional components besides the torque sensor and is connected between the hydraulic energy source, the additional components, and the torque sensor in such a way that the torque sensor includes priority in being supplied with hydraulic medium.
1. A hydraulic system for actuating a clutch and/or a variable speed drive unit of a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission having a variably adjustable transmission ratio, of a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, having at least one hydraulic energy source and having a torque sensor, wherein a selector and check valve device for supplying additional components besides the torque sensor is connected between the hydraulic energy source, the additional components, and the torque sensor in such a way that the torque sensor includes priority in being supplied with hydraulic medium, wherein the selector and check valve is a 3/3 directional valve and is positioned downstream of the at least one hydraulic energy device for selectively supplying pressurized hydraulic fluid in a first position only to the torque sensor, in a second position to a pair of transmission ratio valves and to the torque sensor, and in a third position to the pair of transmission ratio valves, to the torque sensor, and to an input to the at least one hydraulic energy source.
2. A hydraulic system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the selector and check valve for supplying the additional components is connected between the hydraulic energy source and the additional components.
3. A hydraulic system in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the selector and check valve for supplying the additional components is pre-tensioned in a closed state.
4. A hydraulic system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the selector and check valve for supplying the additional components works together with an orifice plate or a pressure limiting valve in a return line of the torque sensor.
5. A hydraulic system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the selector and check valve for supplying the additional components includes an open position in which the additional components are connected to the hydraulic energy source.
6. A hydraulic system for actuating a clutch and/or a variable speed drive unit of a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission having a variably adjustable transmission ratio, of a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, having at least one hydraulic energy source and having a torque sensor, wherein a selector and check valve for supplying additional components besides the torque sensor is connected between the hydraulic energy source, the additional components and the torque sensor in such a way that the torque sensor includes priority in being supplied with hydraulic medium, wherein the selector and check valve for supplying the additional components works together with an orifice plate or a pressure limiting valve in a return line of the torque sensor, and wherein the selector and check valve for supplying the additional components is connected to the return line of the torque sensor in such a way that the selector and check valve for supplying the additional components does not open until a minimum stream of hydraulic medium is present in the return line of the torque sensor.
7. A hydraulic system for actuating a clutch and/or a variable speed drive unit of a belt-driven conical-pulley transmission having a variably adjustable transmission ratio, of a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, having at least one hydraulic energy source and having a torque sensor, wherein a selector and check valve for supplying additional components besides the torque sensor is connected between the hydraulic energy source, the additional components and the torque sensor in such a way that the torque sensor includes priority in being supplied with hydraulic medium, wherein the selector and check valve for supplying the additional components includes an open position in which the additional components are connected to the hydraulic energy source and wherein the selector and check valve for supplying the additional components includes an additional open position in which the additional components are connected to the hydraulic energy source, and in which an output of the hydraulic energy source is connected through the open selector and check valve to an input of the hydraulic energy source.
