Abstract

A hydraulic control arrangement includes a common variable displacement pump configured to supply pressure medium to two consumer groups. The pressure level of a control block assigned to one of the consumer groups is set to a different pressure level than that of a further control block assigned to the other consumer group.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hydraulic control arrangement, comprising:
a variable displacement pump configured to supply pressure medium to a first consumer group, to which a LUDV or LS control block is assigned, and to a second consumer group, to which a throttle control block is assigned, the variable displacement pump being adjustable as a function of a control pressure,
wherein said throttle control block is configured in an open-center construction with a control line being connected to a tank in a basic position and being restricted in an actuated position,
wherein the control pressure level in one of the control blocks is limited by a pressure-limiting valve, and wherein a pressure-limiting valve assigned to the other control block is configured to limit the control pressure level in said other control block to a value different from the pressure-limiting valve in said one of the control blocks,
wherein the control blocks are connected in parallel with their control lines,
wherein a control oil volume flow in the control line in the throttle control block is picked off via a flow-regulating valve from an inflow line carrying the pump pressure, and
wherein the throttle control block is limited to a lower control pressure level and the LUDV or LS control block is limited to a higher control pressure level,
the hydraulic control arrangement further comprising a switching valve located downstream of the flow regulating valve, the switching valve being acted upon in the closing direction by the control pressure in the LUDV or LS control block and in the opening direction by the control pressure in the throttle control block.

2. The control arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the respective control lines of the control blocks are connected to one another via a non-return valve.

3. The control arrangement as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control block having the higher control pressure level is configured to supply a steering system via a priority valve.

4. The control arrangement as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the variable displacement pump is activated as a function of the higher of the control/load pressures of the steering system, the LUDV or LS control block and the throttle second control block.
