Abstract

A hydraulic control circuit for the overcontrol of a hydraulic system which controls a drive, in particular for controlling a hydraulic motor ( 5 ) for driving a slewing gear of a crane superstructure, wherein the pressure lines ( 3.9, 3.10 ) for the hydraulic motor ( 5 ) are connected by means of a supply piston ( 3.2 ) to a hydraulic pump ( 2 ) or a tank ( 1 ), and the pressure lines ( 3.9, 3.10 ) are each assigned pilot valves ( 3.4, 3.3 ), shuttle valves ( 3.8, 3.7 ) and directional control valves ( 3.6, 3.5 ). The shuttle valves ( 3.7, 3.8 ) are connected by means of control lines ( 3.11, 3.12 ) to an activatable proportional pilot valve ( 6 ), such that the separately activatable directional control valves ( 3.5, 3.6 ) can thus be activated by means of said pressure, which is built up by the pilot valve ( 6 ).

Claims (3)

1. Hydraulic control circuit for the overcontrol of a hydraulic system which controls a hydraulic motor ( 5 ) for driving a slewing gear of a crane superstructure, the hydraulic control circuit comprising: pressure lines ( 3 . 9 , 3 . 10 ) for the hydraulic motor ( 5 ), wherein the pressure lines ( 3 . 9 , 3 . 10 ) are connected by means of a supply piston ( 3 . 2 ) to a hydraulic pump ( 2 ) or a tank ( 1 ), and the pressure lines ( 3 . 9 , 3 . 10 ) are each operatively associated with pilot valves ( 3 . 4 , 3 . 3 ), shuttle valves ( 3 . 8 , 3 . 7 ), and separately activatable directional control valves ( 3 . 6 , 3 . 5 ), wherein a fluid flow to the tank is at least partially controlled by the separately activatable directional control valves ( 3 . 6 , 3 . 5 ), wherein the shuttle valves ( 3 . 7 , 3 . 8 ) are connected by means of first control lines ( 3 . 11 , 3 . 12 ) to an activatable proportional pilot valve ( 6 ) and wherein the shuttle valves ( 3 . 7 , 3 . 8 ) are connected by means of second control lines ( 3 . 15 , 3 . 16 ) to pilot valves ( 3 . 3 , 3 . 4 ), such that the separately activatable directional control valves ( 3 . 5 , 3 . 6 ) can be activated thereby by means of pressure which is built up by the proportional pilot valve ( 6 ), and separately activated thereby by means of pressure which is built up by the pilot valves ( 3 . 3 , 3 . 4 ).

2. The hydraulic control circuit of claim 1 , wherein the shuttle valves ( 3 . 7 , 3 . 8 ) are connected by means of third control lines ( 3 . 17 , 3 . 18 ) to directional control valves ( 3 . 5 , 3 . 6 ).

3. Hydraulic control circuit for the overcontrol of a hydraulic system which controls a hydraulic motor ( 5 ) for driving a slewing gear of a crane superstructure, the hydraulic control circuit comprising: pressure lines ( 3 . 9 , 3 . 10 ) for the hydraulic motor ( 5 ), wherein the pressure lines ( 3 . 9 , 3 . 10 ) are connected by means of a supply piston ( 3 . 2 ) to a hydraulic pump ( 2 ) or a tank ( 1 ), and the pressure lines ( 3 . 9 , 3 . 10 ) are each operatively associated with pilot valves ( 3 . 4 , 3 . 3 ), shuttle valves ( 3 . 8 , 3 . 7 ), and separately activatable directional control valves ( 3 . 6 , 3 . 5 ), wherein a fluid flow to the tank is at least partially controlled by the separately activatable directional control valves ( 3 . 6 , 3 . 5 ), wherein the shuttle valves ( 3 . 7 , 3 . 8 ) are connected by means of control lines ( 3 . 11 , 3 . 12 ) to an activatable proportional pilot valve ( 6 ), such that the separately activatable directional control valves ( 3 . 5 , 3 . 6 ) can be activated thereby by means of pressure which is built up by the proportional pilot valve ( 6 ), and separately activated thereby by means of pressure which is built up by the pilot valves ( 3 . 3 , 3 . 4 ), wherein the pilot valve ( 6 ) is activatable by means of a foot brake pedal ( 8 ) to build up a control pressure ( 3 . 11 and 3 . 12 ) and said control pressure ( 3 . 11 and 3 . 12 ) throttles both directional control valves ( 3 . 5 and 3 . 6 ) through the shuttle valves ( 3 . 7 and 3 . 8 ) in the control lines ( 3 . 17 and 3 . 18 ) such that in addition to the activation as an emergency brake it is also activated as a dynamic service brake.
