Abstract

A drive for a machine includes a computer configured to control a first electric motor for driving vehicle wheels and a second electric motor for driving a work attachment. The second electric motor is configured to drive at least one hydraulic pump with an adjustable stroke volume. A sensor is configured to detect the stroke volume of the pump. The computer processes the stroke volume to control the second electric motor.

Claims (10)

1. A drive for a machine, the drive comprising:

a computer configured to control a first electric motor for driving vehicle wheels and a second electric motor for driving a work attachment,

wherein the second electric motor is configured to drive at least one hydraulic pump with an adjustable stroke volume,

wherein a sensor is configured to detect the stroke volume of the pump, and

wherein the computer processes the stroke volume to control the second electric motor.

2. The drive according to claim 1 , wherein the pump is configured as a load-sensing pump.

3. The drive according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor is configured to generate a signal which is supplied to the computer.

4. The drive according to claim 1 , wherein a rotational speed of the second electric motor is increased when the pump is already being controlled to a nearly maximum stroke volume.

5. The drive according to claim 1 , wherein the second electric motor is configured to not undershoot a previously defined minimum rotational speed.

6. The drive according to claim 1 , wherein a speed of a change in a rotational speed of the second electric motor takes place as a function of a speed of a change in the stroke volume of the pump.
