Die Arbeitswalze der bekannten Baumaschinen ist in einem nach unten offenen Walzengehäuse angeordnet, das von einem in Arbeitsrichtung vor der Arbeitswalze angeordneten Niederhalter und einem in Arbeitsrichtung hinter der Walze angeordneten Abstreifer verschlossen wird. An den Seiten wird das Walzengehäuse von sich in Arbeitsrichtung erstreckenden plattenförmigen Schildern verschlossen, die als Kantenschutz bezeichnet werden.The working roller of the known construction machines is arranged in a roller housing which is open at the bottom and which is closed by a hold-down device arranged in front of the working roller in the working direction and a stripper arranged behind the roller in the working direction. The roller housing is closed on the sides by plate-shaped shields that extend in the working direction and are referred to as edge protection.

Der Kantenschutz der bekannten Baumaschinen ist in der Höhe verstellbar. Zum Anheben und/oder Absenken des Kantenschutzes ist ein Hydrauliksystem vorgesehen. Der Kantenschutz steht während des Betriebs der Baumaschine mit seiner Unterkante auf der zu bearbeitenden Bodenoberfläche auf. Dabei übt der Kantenschutz eine Andruckkraft auf die Bodenoberfläche aus. Während des Vorschubs der Baumaschine folgt der Kantenschutz selbsttätig dem Verlauf der Geländeoberfläche, wobei der Kantenschutz angehoben und/oder abgesenkt wird, was auch als schwimmende Lagerung oder Schwimmstellung bezeichnet wird.The edge protection of the well-known construction machines is adjustable in height. A hydraulic system is provided for raising and/or lowering the edge protection. During operation of the construction machine, the edge protection rests with its lower edge on the ground surface to be processed. The edge protection exerts a pressure force on the floor surface. During the advance of the construction machine, the edge protection automatically follows the course of the ground surface, with the edge protection being raised and/or lowered, which is also referred to as a floating mount or floating position.

Die bekannten Hydrauliksysteme bestehen aus einer Vielzahl von Komponenten.The well-known hydraulic systems consist of a large number of components.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine selbstfahrende Baumaschine, insbesondere Straßenfräsmaschine, Stabilisierer, Recycler oder Surface-Miner, zu schaffen, die über ein relativ einfach aufgebautes und zuverlässig arbeitendes Hydrauliksystem zum Anheben und/oder Absenken des Kantenschutzes verfügt, welches eine schwimmende Lagerung des Kantenschutzes erlaubt.The invention is based on the object of creating a self-propelled construction machine, in particular a road milling machine, stabilizer, recycler or surface miner, which has a relatively simply constructed and reliably working hydraulic system for raising and/or lowering the edge protection, which has a floating bearing of the edge protection allowed.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1. Die Gegenstände der Unteransprüche betreffen bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung.This object is achieved according to the invention with the features of patent claim 1. The subject matter of the dependent claims relate to preferred embodiments of the invention.

Die erfindungsgemäße selbstfahrende Baumaschine, insbesondere Straßenfräsmaschine, Stabilisierer, Recycler oder Surface-Miner, weist einen Maschinenrahmen, eine am Maschinenrahmen angeordnete Arbeitswalze zur Bearbeitung des Bodenmaterials und einen an der in Arbeitsrichtung linken Seite der Arbeitswalze angeordneten linken Kantenschutz und einen an der in Arbeitsrichtung rechten Seite der Arbeitswalze angeordneten rechten Kantenschutz auf. Zum Anheben und/oder Absenken des linken und rechten Kantenschutzes ist ein Hydrauliksystem vorgesehen, das eine Hydraulikquelle zur Bereitstellung von Hydraulikflüssigkeit aufweist.The self-propelled construction machine according to the invention, in particular a road milling machine, stabilizer, recycler or surface miner, has a machine frame, a working roller arranged on the machine frame for processing the soil material and a left-hand edge protection arranged on the left-hand side of the working roller in the working direction and one on the right-hand side in the working direction right edge protection arranged on the work roll. A hydraulic system, which has a hydraulic source for providing hydraulic fluid, is provided for raising and/or lowering the left and right edge protection.

Das Hydrauliksystem ist derart ausgebildet, dass die Hydraulikquelle mit einer der beiden Zylinderkammern eines ersten doppelt wirkenden Hydraulikzylinders zum Anheben und/oder Absenken des linken Kantenschutzes und einer der beiden Zylinderkammern eines zweiten doppelt wirkenden Hydraulikzylinder zum Anheben und/oder Absenken des rechten Kantenschutzes in Fluidverbindung gebracht werden kann, so dass der linke und rechte Kantenschutz angehoben und/oder abgesenkt werden kann. Als doppelt wirkender Hydraulikzylinder können auch zwei Hydraulikzylinder fungieren, die parallel geschaltet sind. Bei zwei parallel geschalteten Hydraulikzylindern wird die Hydraulikquelle mit der Zylinderkammer des einen und des anderen Zylinders in Fluidverbindung gebracht.The hydraulic system is designed in such a way that the hydraulic source is brought into fluid communication with one of the two cylinder chambers of a first double-acting hydraulic cylinder for raising and/or lowering the left edge protection and one of the two cylinder chambers of a second double-acting hydraulic cylinder for raising and/or lowering the right edge protection can be adjusted so that the left and right edge protection can be raised and/or lowered. Two hydraulic cylinders connected in parallel can also function as a double-acting hydraulic cylinder. With two hydraulic cylinders connected in parallel, the hydraulic source is brought into fluid communication with the cylinder chamber of one and the other cylinder.

Das Hydrauliksystem zum Anheben und Absenken des Kantenschutzes zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass nur ein einziges, dem ersten und zweiten Hydraulikzylinder zugeordnetes Hauptwegeventil mit drei Schaltstellungen vorgesehen ist, das mit einem ersten Nebenwegeventil mit zwei Schaltstellungen, das dem ersten Hydraulikzylinder zugeordnet ist, und einem zweiten Nebenwegeventil mit zwei Schaltstellungen, das dem zweiten Hydraulikzylinder zugeordnet ist, zusammenwirkt, um den Kantenschutz anheben und/oder absenken oder schwimmend lagern zu können. Daher hat das Hydrauliksystem einen einfachen und kompakten Aufbau.The hydraulic system for raising and lowering the edge protection is characterized in that only a single, the first and second hydraulic cylinder associated main directional control valve is provided with three switching positions, with a first by-pass valve with two switching positions, which is assigned to the first hydraulic cylinder, and a second by-pass valve with two switching positions, which is assigned to the second hydraulic cylinder, cooperate in order to be able to raise and/or lower or float the edge protection. Therefore, the hydraulic system has a simple and compact structure.

Das Hydrauliksystem zum Anheben und Absenken des Kantenschutzes kann auch Bestandteil eines Hydrauliksystems sein, das neben dem Anheben und Absenken des Kantenschutzes noch weitere Funktionen übernehmen kann. In diesem Fall umfasst das Hydrauliksystem noch weitere Komponenten, die aber eine andere Funktion als die Bewegung des Kantenschutzes haben.The hydraulic system for raising and lowering the edge protection can also be part of a hydraulic system which, in addition to raising and lowering the edge protection, can also take on other functions. In this case, the hydraulic system includes other components, but they have a different function than the movement of the edge protection.

Mit dem Hauptwegeventil kann in einer der beiden Schaltstellungen des ersten bzw. zweiten Nebenwegeventils vorgegeben werden, ob die eine oder andere Zylinderkammer des ersten bzw. zweiten Hydraulikzylinders mit Hydraulikflüssigkeit beaufschlagt wird, um den betreffenden Kantenschutz anheben und/oder absenken zu können. Ob der linke Kantenschutz oder der rechte Kantenschutz angehoben wird oder der linke und rechte Kantenschutz angehoben werden, ist von der Schaltstellung der Nebenwegeventile abhängig. Für eine schwimmende Lagerung des Kantenschutzes kann mit dem Hauptwegeventil in einer der beiden Schaltstellungen des ersten bzw. zweiten Nebenwegeventils auch eine Fluidverbindung zwischen den beiden Zylinderkammern der Hydraulikzylinder vorgegeben werden, wobei die beiden Zylinderkammern der Hydraulikzylinder wiederum mit dem Tank in Fluidverbindung stehen.With the main directional valve, in one of the two switching positions of the first or second auxiliary directional valve, it can be specified whether one or the other cylinder chamber of the first or second hydraulic cylinder is pressurized with hydraulic fluid in order to be able to raise and/or lower the relevant edge protection. Whether the left edge protection or the right edge protection is raised or the left and right edge protection are raised depends on the switching position of the bypass valves. For a floating mounting of the edge protection, a fluid connection between the two cylinder chambers of the hydraulic cylinders can also be specified with the main directional valve in one of the two switching positions of the first or second secondary directional valve, with the two cylinder chambers of the hydraulic cylinders in turn being in fluid connection with the tank.

Das Hydrauliksystem ist derart ausgebildet, dass in einer ersten Schaltstellung des Hauptventils und in einer der beiden Schaltstellungen des ersten und zweiten Nebenwegeventils die eine der beiden Zylinderkammern der beiden Hydraulikzylinder mit Hydraulikflüssigkeit beaufschlagt werden kann, und in einer zweiten Schaltstellung des Hauptventils und in einer der beiden Schaltstellungen des ersten und zweiten Nebenwegeventils die andere der beiden Zylinderkammern der beiden Hydraulikzylinder mit Hydraulikflüssigkeit beaufschlagt werden kann, so dass der linke und/oder rechte Kantenschutz angehoben oder abgesenkt werden kann, und in einer dritten Schaltstellung des Hauptwegeventils und in einer der beiden Schaltstellungen des ersten und zweiten Nebenwegeventils eine Flüssigkeitsverbindung zwischen den beiden Zylinderkammern des ersten Hydraulikzylinders mit dem Tank und eine Flüssigkeitsverbindung zwischen den beiden Zylinderkammern des zweiten Hydraulikzylinders mit dem Tank hergestellt werden kann, so dass der linke und rechte Kantenschutz eine Schwimmstellung einnehmen kann.The hydraulic system is designed in such a way that in a first switch position of the main valve and in one of the two switch positions of the first and second bypass valves, one of the two cylinder chambers of the two hydraulic cylinders can be pressurized with hydraulic fluid, and in a second switch position of the main valve and in one of the two Switching positions of the first and second bypass valve, the other of the two cylinder chambers of the two hydraulic cylinders can be supplied with hydraulic fluid, so that the left and/or right edge protection can be raised or lowered, and in a third switching position of the main directional control valve and in one of the two switching positions of the first and second secondary directional control valve, a fluid connection between the two cylinder chambers of the first hydraulic cylinder with the tank and a fluid connection between the two cylinder chambers of the second hydraulic cylinder with the tank can be established, so that the left and right edge protection one can assume a swimming position.

Da nur ein Hauptwegeventil vorgesehen ist, das beiden Hydraulikzylindern zugeordnet ist, hat das erfindungsgemäße Hydrauliksystem einen relativ einfachen Aufbau. Die geringere Anzahl von Wegeventilen erfordert auch weniger Hydraulikleitungen und Steuerleitungen für die Ansteuerung der Ventile, wodurch sich die Herstellungskosten insgesamt verringern. Darüber hinaus verringert die geringere Anzahl von Wegeventilen das Risiko, dass ein Wegeventil aufgrund einer technischen Störung ausfällt, wodurch die Zuverlässigkeit des Hydrauliksystems erhöht wird. Des Weiteren reduziert sich auch der technische Aufwand für die Ansteuerung der Ventile, beispielsweise die Anzahl elektrischer Steuerleitungen, Magnetspulen, etc.Since only one main directional control valve is provided, which is assigned to both hydraulic cylinders, the hydraulic system according to the invention has a relatively simple structure. The smaller number of directional control valves also requires fewer hydraulic lines and control lines for controlling the valves, which reduces the overall manufacturing costs. In addition, the reduced number of directional control valves reduces the risk of a directional control valve failing due to a technical failure, thereby increasing the reliability of the hydraulic system. Furthermore, the technical effort for controlling the valves is also reduced, for example the number of electrical control lines, solenoid coils, etc.

Die Erfindung sieht unterschiedliche Ausführungsformen vor, die aber nur über ein Hauptwegeventil verfügen, das beiden Hydraulikzylindern zugeordnet ist. Bei sämtlichen Ausführungsformen kann das Hauptwegeventil ein in die Mittelstellung vorgespanntes 4/3-Wegeventil sein, das einen Zulaufanschluss zum Zuführen von Hydraulikflüssigkeit von der Hydraulikquelle, einen Ablaufanschluss zum Abführen von Hydraulikflüssigkeit zum Tank, einen ersten Arbeitsanschluss und einen zweiten Arbeitsanschluss aufweist. In der Mittelstellung ist der Zulaufanschluss gesperrt und der erste und zweite Arbeitsanschluss sind mit dem Ablaufanschluss verbunden. In der ersten Endstellung ist der Zulaufanschluss mit dem zweiten Arbeitsanschluss und der Ablaufanschluss mit dem ersten Arbeitsanschluss verbunden, und in der zweiten Endstellung ist der Zulaufanschluss mit dem ersten Arbeitsanschluss und der Ablaufanschluss mit dem zweiten Arbeitsanschluss verbunden. Dadurch ist eine Flussumkehr möglich, so dass die eine oder andere Zylinderkammer mit Druck beaufschlagt werden kann.The invention provides different embodiments, but they only have one main directional control valve that is assigned to both hydraulic cylinders. In all of the embodiments, the main directional valve can be a 4/3-way valve that is preloaded in the center position and has an inlet port for supplying hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic source, an outlet port for discharging hydraulic fluid to the tank, a first working port and a second working port.

In the first end position, the inflow connection is connected to the second working connection and the outflow connection is connected to the first working connection, and in the second end position, the inflow connection is connected to the first working connection and the outflow connection is connected to the second working connection. This enables a flow reversal, so that one or the other cylinder chamber can be pressurized.

Bei einer ersten Ausführungsform sind die Nebenwegeventile in eine der beiden Schaltstellungen vorgespannte 2/2-Wegeventile, die einen ersten Arbeitsanschluss und einen zweiten Arbeitsanschluss aufweisen, wobei in der ersten Schaltstellung der erste Arbeitsanschluss und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss gesperrt sind, und in der zweiten Schaltstellung der erste Arbeitsanschluss und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss miteinander verbunden sind.In a first embodiment, the bypass valves are biased in one of the two switching positions 2/2-way valves that have a first working connection and have a second working connection, wherein in the first switching position the first working connection and the second working connection are blocked, and in the second switching position the first working connection and the second working connection are connected to one another.

Die Nebenwegeventile sind vorzugsweise Sitzventile, die keine Leckage haben, so dass sich der Kantenschutz nicht aufgrund einer Leckage aus einer oberen Arretierungsstellung unbeabsichtigt absenken kann.In this embodiment, the first working port of the main directional control valve can be in fluid communication with one of the two cylinder chambers of the first and second hydraulic cylinders, the second working port of the main directional control valve can be in fluid communication with the first working port of the first auxiliary valve and with the first working port of the second auxiliary valve, and the second Working connection of the first bypass valve with the other of the two cylinder chambers of the first hydraulic cylinder and the second working connection of the second bypass valve with the other of the two cylinder chambers of the second hydraulic cylinder are in fluid communication. The bypass valves are preferably seat valves that do not leak, so that the edge protection cannot be unintentionally lowered from an upper locking position due to leakage.

Bei einer zweiten Ausführungsform sind die Nebenwegeventile in eine der beiden Schaltstellungen vorgespannte 4/2-Wegeventile, die einen ersten Arbeitsanschluss, einen zweiten Arbeitsanschluss, einen dritten Arbeitsanschluss und einen vierten Arbeitsanschluss aufweisen. In der ersten Schaltstellung sind der erste Arbeitsanschluss und der dritte Arbeitsanschluss miteinander verbunden und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss und der vierte Arbeitsanschluss sind miteinander verbunden, und in der zweiten Schaltstellung sind der erste Arbeitsanschluss und der vierte Arbeitsanschluss miteinander verbunden und zweite Arbeitsanschluss und der dritte Arbeitsanschluss sind miteinander verbunden.In a second embodiment, the bypass valves are 4/2-way valves that are prestressed in one of the two switching positions and have a first working connection, a second working connection, a third working connection and a fourth working connection.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform kann der erste Arbeitsanschluss des Hauptwegeventils mit einer der beiden Zylinderkammern des ersten und zweiten Hydraulikzylinders in Flüssigkeitsverbindung stehen, der zweite Arbeitsanschluss des Hauptwegeventils mit dem ersten Arbeitsanschluss des ersten Nebenventils in Flüssigkeitsverbindung stehen, wobei in dem Durchflussweg ein erstes Rückschlagventil vorgesehen ist, das in Richtung des ersten Nebenventils geöffnet ist, und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss des Hauptwegeventils mit dem ersten Arbeitsanschluss des zweiten Nebenventils in Flüssigkeitsverbindung stehen, wobei in dem Durchflussweg ein zweites Rückschlagventil vorgesehen ist, das in Richtung des zweiten Nebenventils geöffnet ist.

The fourth working port of the first by-pass valve and the fourth working port of the second by-pass valve are shut off.

Eine dritte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass die Nebenwegeventile in eine der beiden Schaltstellungen vorgespannte 3/2-Wegeventile sind, die einen ersten Arbeitsanschluss, einen zweiten Arbeitsanschluss und einen dritten Arbeitsanschluss aufweisen, wobei in der ersten Schaltstellung der erste Arbeitsanschluss und der dritte Arbeitsanschluss miteinander verbunden sind und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss gesperrt ist, und in der zweiten Schaltstellung der erste Arbeitsanschluss gesperrt ist und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss und der dritte Arbeitsanschluss miteinander verbunden sind.A third embodiment provides that the bypass valves are 3/2-way valves that are prestressed in one of the two switching positions and have a first working connection, a second working connection and a third working connection, with the first working connection and the third working connection being connected to one another in the first switching position and the second working port is blocked, and in the second switching position the first working port is blocked and the second working port and the third working port are connected to one another.

Bei dieser Ausführungsform kann der erste Arbeitsanschluss des Hauptwegeventils mit einer der beiden Zylinderkammern des ersten und zweiten Hydraulikzylinders in Flüssigkeitsverbindung stehen und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss des Hauptwegeventils mit dem ersten Arbeitsanschluss des ersten Nebenventils in Flüssigkeitsverbindung stehen, wobei in dem Durchflussweg ein erstes Rückschlagventil vorgesehen ist, das in Richtung des ersten Nebenventils geöffnet ist, und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss des Hauptwegeventils mit dem ersten Arbeitsanschluss des zweiten Nebenventils in Flüssigkeitsverbindung stehen, wobei in dem Durchflussweg ein zweites Rückschlagventil vorgesehen ist, das in Richtung des zweiten Nebenventils geöffnet ist.In this embodiment, the first working port of the main directional control valve can be in fluid communication with one of the two cylinder chambers of the first and second hydraulic cylinders, and the second working port of the main directional control valve can be in fluid communication with the first working port of the first secondary valve, with a first check valve being provided in the flow path, the is open in the direction of the first auxiliary valve, and the second working port of the main directional control valve is in fluid communication with the first working port of the second auxiliary valve, wherein a second check valve is provided in the flow path and is open in the direction of the second auxiliary valve.

Der zweite Arbeitsanschluss des ersten und zweiten Nebenwegeventils steht mit dem Ablaufanschluss des Hauptwegeventils in Flüssigkeitsverbindung, und der dritteThe second working port of the first and second bypass valves is in fluid communication with the discharge port of the main directional control valve, and the third

Arbeitsanschluss des ersten Nebenwegeventils steht mit der anderen der beiden Zylinderkammern des ersten Hydraulikzylinders und der dritte Arbeitsanschluss des zweiten Nebenwegeventils steht mit der anderen der beiden Zylinderkammern des zweiten Hydraulikzylinders in Flüssigkeitsverbindung.Working port of the first bypass valve is in fluid communication with the other of the two cylinder chambers of the first hydraulic cylinder and the third working port of the second bypass valve is in fluid communication with the other of the two cylinder chambers of the second hydraulic cylinder.

Das Hauptwegeventil und die Nebenwegeventile können elektromagnetisch angesteuerte Wegeventile sein, wobei eine Steuereinrichtung zur Ansteuerung des Hauptwegeventils und der Nebenwegeventile vorgesehen sein kann. Diese Steuereinrichtung kann Bestandteil der zentralen Steuereinheit der Baumaschine sein, die auch andere Steuerungsaufgaben übernehmen kann.The main directional control valve and the secondary directional control valves can be electromagnetically actuated directional control valves, with a control device for activating the main directional control valve and the secondary directional control valves being able to be provided. This control device can be part of the central control unit of the construction machine, which can also take on other control tasks.

Die Hydraulikquelle kann eine Hydraulikpumpe mit einem Sauganschluss und einem Druckanschluss umfassen, wobei der Sauganschluss mit einem Hydraulikflüssigkeitstank in Flüssigkeitsverbindung stehen kann und der Druckanschluss mit dem Zulaufanschluss des Hauptwegeventils in Flüssigkeitsverbindung stehen kann.The hydraulic source may include a hydraulic pump having a suction port and a pressure port, wherein the suction port may be in fluid communication with a hydraulic fluid tank and the pressure port may be in fluid communication with the inflow port of the main directional control valve.

Eine weitere Ausführungsform sieht einen Durchflussweg zwischen dem Druckanschluss der Hydraulikpumpe und dem Hydraulikflüssigkeitstank vor, in dem ein Druckzuschaltventil vorgesehen ist. Wenn das Druckzuschaltventil geöffnet ist, kann die Hydraulikflüssigkeit nicht zu dem Zulaufanschluss des Hauptwegeventils, sondern in den Tank strömen, so dass der Kantenschutz eine Schwimmstellung einnehmen kann, wenn die beiden Hydraulikammern des betreffenden Hydraulikzylinders in Flüssigkeitsverbindung stehen. Das Anheben und/oder Absenken des Kantenschutzes setzt voraus, dass das Druckzuschaltventil geschlossen ist. Das Druckzuschaltventil kann mit der Zündung des Verbrennungsmotors der Baumaschine derart gekoppelt sein, dass der erste und zweite Kantenschutz nach dem Zünden zunächst eine Schwimmstellung einnimmt. Das Druckzuschaltventil kann ein elektromagnetisch angesteuertes 2/2-Wegeventil sein, das einen ersten Arbeitsanschluss und einen zweiten Arbeitsanschluss aufweist, wobei das Druckzuschaltventil in eine Schaltstellung vorgespannt ist, in der der erste und zweite Arbeitsanschluss miteinander verbunden sind.A further embodiment provides a flow path between the pressure connection of the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic fluid tank, in which a pressure sequence valve is provided. If the pressure sequence valve is open, the hydraulic fluid cannot flow to the inlet connection of the main directional control valve but into the tank, so that the edge protection can assume a floating position when the two hydraulic chambers of the hydraulic cylinder in question are in fluid communication. Raising and/or lowering the edge protection requires that the pressure sequence valve is closed. The pressure sequence valve can be coupled to the ignition of the internal combustion engine of the construction machine in such a way that the first and second edge protection initially assumes a floating position after ignition. The pressure sequence valve can be an electromagnetically controlled 2/2-way valve that has a first working port and a second working port, the pressure sequence valve being biased into a switching position in which the first and second working ports are connected to one another.

Zur Druckbegrenzung können weitere Druckbegrenzungsventile vorgesehen sein, um bei Überschreiten eines vorgegebenen Überdrucks einen Durchflussweg zwischen dem Zulaufanschluss des Hauptwegeventils und dem Hydraulikflüssigkeitstank oder einen Durchflussweg zwischen dem ersten Arbeitsanschluss des Hauptwegeventils und dem Hydraulikflüssigkeitstank freizugeben.Additional pressure-limiting valves can be provided for pressure limitation, in order to release a flow path between the inlet connection of the main directional control valve and the hydraulic fluid tank or a flow path between the first working connection of the main directional control valve and the hydraulic fluid tank when a predetermined excess pressure is exceeded.

Fig. 1 zeigt in der Seitenansicht eine Straßenfräsmaschine als ein Beispiel für eine selbstfahrende Baumaschine. Bei der Straßenfräsmaschine handelt es um eine Kleinfräse. Die Baumaschine weist einen Maschinenrahmen 1 auf, der von einem Fahrwerk 2 getragen wird. Das Fahrwerk 2 weist ein vorderes Rad 3A und zwei hintere Räder 3B auf. In Fig. 1 ist nur das in Arbeitsrichtung A rechte hintere Rad 3B zu erkennen. Bei den bekannten Baumaschinen kann das Fahrwerk anstelle von Rädern auch Kettenlaufwerke aufweisen. 1 shows a side view of a road milling machine as an example of a self-propelled construction machine. The road milling machine is a small milling machine. The construction machine has a machine frame 1 which is carried by a chassis 2 . The chassis 2 has a front wheel 3A and two rear wheels 3B. In 1 only the right rear wheel 3B in the working direction A can be seen. In the case of the known construction machines, the chassis can also have chain drives instead of wheels.

Die Baumaschine verfügt über eine Arbeitswalze, bei der es sich um eine Fräswalze handelt. Die in Fig. 1 nicht erkennbare Fräswalze ist in einem Fräswalzengehäuse 4 angeordnet. An der in Arbeitsrichtung A linken und rechten Seite ist das Fräswalzengehäuse 4 jeweils von einem Kantenschutz verschlossen. In Fig. 1 ist nur der in Arbeitsrichtung A rechte Kantenschutz 5B erkennbar. Oberhalb des Fräswalzengehäuses 4 befindet sich der Fahrstand 7 mit dem Fahrersitz 7A und dem Bedienpult 7B. Der Maschinenrahmen 1 der Baumaschine ist an Hubsäulen 10 gegenüber der Oberfläche 11 des Bodens 12 in der Höhe verstellbar. Fig. 2 zeigt eine Darstellung der Baumaschine, wobei das hintere rechte Rad 3B und die hintere rechte Hubsäule 10 nicht dargestellt sind, so dass der rechte Kantenschutz 5B freiliegt.The construction machine has a work drum, which is a milling drum. In the 1 not recognizable milling drum is arranged in a milling drum housing 4. On the left and right side in working direction A, the milling drum housing 4 is closed by edge protection. In 1 only the edge protection 5B on the right in working direction A can be seen. Above the milling drum housing 4 is the driver's stand 7 with the driver's seat 7A and the control panel 7B. The height of the machine frame 1 of the construction machine can be adjusted on lifting columns 10 in relation to the surface 11 of the floor 12 . 2 FIG. 12 shows the construction machine without showing the rear right wheel 3B and the rear right lifting column 10, so that the right edge protector 5B is exposed.

Der linke und rechte Kantenschutz 5A und 5B, die den gleichen Aufbau haben, werden von einer Metallplatte gebildet, die sich in Arbeitsrichtung A erstreckt (Fig. 3). Der Kantenschutz ist zwischen nicht dargestellten Anschlägen in der Höhe gegenüber der Bodenoberfläche 11 verstellbar. Dabei ist der Kantenschutz 5A, 5B zwischen den Anschlägen leicht pendelnd gelagert. Die Höhenverstellung des Kantenschutzes erfolgt mit einem Hydrauliksystem, das für den linken Kantenschutz 5A einen ersten doppelt wirkenden Hydraulikzylinder 6A und für den rechten Kantenschutz 5B einen zweiten doppelt wirkenden Hydraulikzylinder 6B aufweist, deren Zylinder 6AA, 6BA gelenkig am Maschinenrahmen 1 und deren Kolben 6AB, 6BB gelenkig an dem Kantenschutz 5A, 5B gelagert sind. Durch Ein- und Ausfahren des Kolbens des jeweiligen Hydraulikzylinders kann der jeweilige Kantenschutz 5A bzw. 5B angehoben oder abgesenkt werden.The left and right edge protectors 5A and 5B, which have the same structure, are formed by a metal plate extending in the working direction A ( 3 ). The height of the edge protection can be adjusted relative to the floor surface 11 between stops that are not shown. Here is the edge protection 5A, 5B between the stops slightly oscillating. The height of the edge protection is adjusted with a hydraulic system that has a first double-acting hydraulic cylinder 6A for the left edge protection 5A and a second double-acting hydraulic cylinder 6B for the right edge protection 5B, the cylinders 6AA, 6BA of which are articulated on the machine frame 1 and the pistons 6AB, 6BB are articulated on the edge protection 5A, 5B. The respective edge protection 5A or 5B can be raised or lowered by moving the piston of the respective hydraulic cylinder in and out.

Das Hydrauliksystem zum Anheben und/oder Absenken des Kantenschutzes 5A, 5B sieht eine schwimmende Lagerung des Kantenschutzes vor, in der der Kantenschutz 5A, 5B beim Vorschub der Baumaschine über den Boden gezogen wird. Dabei liegt der Kantenschutz 5A, 5B mit einer definierten Andruckkraft auf der Bodenoberfläche 11 auf, die der Gewichtskraft des Kantenschutzes entsprechen oder größer oder kleiner als die Gewichtskraft sein kann.The hydraulic system for raising and/or lowering the edge protection 5A, 5B provides for a floating mounting of the edge protection, in which the edge protection 5A, 5B is pulled over the ground when the construction machine is advanced. In this case, the edge protection 5A, 5B rests on the floor surface 11 with a defined pressing force, which can correspond to the weight of the edge protection or be greater or less than the weight.

Das Hauptwegeventil 13, die beiden Nebenwegeventile 14, 15 und das Druckzuschaltventil 16 sind elektromagnetisch angesteuerte Wegeventile, die in eine Schaltstellung federnd vorgespannt sind. Zur Ansteuerung der Wegeventile ist eine Steuereinrichtung 19 vorgesehen, deren Steuerausgänge über nicht dargestellte Steuerleitungen mit den Steueranschlüssen der Wegeventile verbunden ist.The main directional control valve 13, the two secondary directional control valves 14, 15 and the pressure sequence valve 16 are electromagnetically controlled directional control valves which are spring-biased into a switching position. To control the directional valves is a Control device 19 is provided, the control outputs of which are connected via control lines, not shown, to the control connections of the directional control valves.

Die Hydraulikflüssigkeit wird von einer Hydraulikquelle 20 bereitgestellt, die einen Hydraulik-Tank 21 und eine Hydraulikpumpe 22, beispielsweise eine Zahnradpumpe, umfasst. Der Sauganschluss 22A der Hydraulikpumpe 22 ist mit einer Hydraulikleitung 23 mit dem Hydraulik-Tank 21 verbunden, so dass die Hydraulikpumpe Hydraulikflüssigkeit aus dem Tank ansaugen kann.The hydraulic fluid is provided by a hydraulic source 20, which includes a hydraulic tank 21 and a hydraulic pump 22, for example a gear pump. The suction port 22A of the hydraulic pump 22 is connected to the hydraulic tank 21 by a hydraulic line 23, so that the hydraulic pump can draw in hydraulic fluid from the tank.

Das Hauptwegeventil 13 ist ein in die Mittelstellung vorgespanntes elektromagnetisches 4/3-Wegeventil ist, das einen Zulauf-Anschluss 13A zum Zuführen von Hydraulikflüssigkeit von der Hydraulikquelle 20, einen Ablaufanschluss 13B zum Abführen von Hydraulikflüssigkeit, einen ersten Arbeitsanschluss 13C und einen zweiten Arbeitsanschluss 13D aufweist. In der in Fig. 4A dargestellten Mittelstellung ist der Zulaufanschluss 13A gesperrt und der erste und zweite Arbeitsanschluss 13C, 13D ist mit dem Ablaufanschluss 13B verbunden. Das Hauptwegeventil 13 nimmt die Mittelstellung ein, wenn an den linken und rechten Steueranschüssen keine Steuerspannung anliegt. In der ersten Endstellung, wenn an den linken Steueranschlüssen eine Steuerspannung anliegt und die linke Spule B des Hauptwegeventils bestromt wird, ist der Zulaufanschluss 13A mit dem zweiten Arbeitsanschluss 13D und der Ablaufanschluss 13B mit dem ersten Arbeitsanschluss 13C verbunden, und in der zweiten Endstellung, wenn an den rechten Steueranschlüssen eine Steuerspannung anliegt und die rechte Spule C bestromt wird, ist der Zulaufanschluss 13A mit dem ersten Arbeitsanschluss 13C und der Ablaufanschluss 13B mit dem zweiten Arbeitsanschluss 13D verbunden.The main directional valve 13 is an electromagnetic 4/3-way valve that is preloaded in the central position and has an inlet connection 13A for supplying hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic source 20, an outlet connection 13B for discharging hydraulic fluid, a first working connection 13C and a second working connection 13D . in the in Figure 4A In the middle position shown, the inlet connection 13A is blocked and the first and second working connection 13C, 13D is connected to the outlet connection 13B. The main directional control valve 13 assumes the central position when there is no control voltage at the left and right control connections. In the first end position, when a control voltage is present at the left-hand control connections and the left-hand coil B of the main directional control valve is energized, the inflow connection 13A is connected to the second working connection 13D and the outflow connection 13B is connected to the first working connection 13C, and in the second end position when If a control voltage is present at the right-hand control connections and the right-hand coil C is energized, the inflow connection 13A is connected to the first working connection 13C and the outflow connection 13B is connected to the second working connection 13D.

Die Nebenwegeventile 14, 15 sind in eine der beiden Schaltstellungen vorgespannte elektromagnetische 2/2-Wegeventile, die einen ersten Arbeitsanschluss 14A, 15A und einen zweiten Arbeitsanschluss 14B, 15B aufweisen. In der ersten Schaltstellung, in die das 2/2-Wegeventil vorgespannt ist, sind der erste Arbeitsanschluss und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss gesperrt, und in der zweiten Schaltstellung sind der erste Arbeitsanschluss und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss miteinander verbunden. Wenn die Spulen D, E der Nebenwegeventile 14, 15 bestromt werden, schalten die Nebenwegeventile von der ersten in die zweite Schaltstellung. Die Nebenwegeventile 14, 15 sind vorzugsweise Sitzventile.The bypass valves 14, 15 are electromagnetic 2/2-way valves which are biased into one of the two switching positions and have a first working connection 14A, 15A and a second working connection 14B, 15B. In the first switching position, in which the 2/2-way valve is biased, the first working connection and the second working connection are blocked, and in the second switching position the first working connection and the second working connection are connected to one another. If the coils D, E of the bypass valves 14, 15 are energized, switch the By-pass valves from the first to the second switching position. The bypass valves 14, 15 are preferably seat valves.

Das Druckzuschaltventil 16 ist ein elektromagnetisches 2/2-Wegeventil mit einem ersten Arbeitsanschluss 16A und einem zweiten Arbeitsanschluss 16B, das in eine erste Schaltstellung vorgespannt ist, in der der erste und zweite Arbeitsanschluss 16A, 16B miteinander verbunden sind. Wenn die Spule A des Druckzuschaltventil 16 bestromt wird, schaltet das Druckzuschaltventil 16 von der ersten in die zweite Schaltstellung, in der die Arbeitsanschlüsse 16A, 16B gesperrt sind. Das Druckzuschaltventil 16 kann auch entfallen, wenn die Hydraulikzylinder nicht mittels einer Hydraulikpumpe, die einen konstanten Förderstrom hat, beispielsweise eine Zahnradpumpe, sondern mittels einer Verstellerpumpe mit Hydraulikflüssigkeit versorgt werden.The pressure sequence valve 16 is an electromagnetic 2/2-way valve with a first working port 16A and a second working port 16B, which is biased into a first switching position in which the first and second working ports 16A, 16B are connected to one another. When the coil A of the pressure sequence valve 16 is energized, the pressure sequence valve 16 switches from the first to the second switching position, in which the working ports 16A, 16B are blocked. The pressure sequence valve 16 can also be omitted if the hydraulic cylinders are not supplied with hydraulic fluid by means of a hydraulic pump that has a constant flow rate, for example a gear pump, but by means of a variable-displacement pump.

Der Druckanschluss 22B der Hydraulikpumpe 22 ist über eine Zulauf-Hydraulikleitung 24 mit dem Zulaufanschluss 13A des Hauptwegeventils 13 verbunden, während der Ablaufanschluss 13B des Hauptwegeventils 13 über eine Ablauf-Hydraulikleitung 25 mit dem Hydraulikflüssigkeitstank 21 verbunden ist. Das Druckzuschaltventil 16 ist in einer Bypass-Hydraulikleitung 26 angeordnet, die die Zulauf-Hydraulikleitung 24 mit der Ablauf-Hydraulikleitung 25 verbindet. Wenn an den Steueranschlüssen des Druckzuschaltventils 16 keine Steuerspannung anliegt und die Spule A nicht bestromt wird, öffnet das Druckzuschaltventil 16 die Bypass-Hydraulikleitung 26, so dass die Hydraulikflüssigkeit zirkuliert. Wenn an den Steueranschlüssen des Druckzuschaltventil 16 hingegen eine Steuerspannung anliegt, schließt das Druckzuschaltventil 16 die Bypass-Hydraulikleitung 26, so dass die Hydraulikflüssigkeit zu dem Zulaufanschluss 13A des Hauptwegeventils 13 strömt.The pressure port 22B of the hydraulic pump 22 is connected to the inflow port 13A of the main directional control valve 13 via an inflow hydraulic line 24 , while the outflow port 13B of the main directional control valve 13 is connected to the hydraulic fluid tank 21 via an outflow hydraulic line 25 . The pressure sequence valve 16 is arranged in a bypass hydraulic line 26 which connects the inflow hydraulic line 24 to the outflow hydraulic line 25 . If no control voltage is present at the control connections of the pressure sequence valve 16 and the coil A is not energized, the pressure sequence valve 16 opens the bypass hydraulic line 26 so that the hydraulic fluid circulates. If, on the other hand, a control voltage is present at the control connections of the pressure sequence valve 16 , the pressure sequence valve 16 closes the bypass hydraulic line 26 so that the hydraulic fluid flows to the inlet connection 13A of the main directional control valve 13 .

Der erste Arbeitsanschluss 13C des Hauptwegeventils 13 ist über Hydraulikleitungen 27 mit der ersten, oberen Hydraulikkammer 6AC bzw. 6BC des ersten, linken Hydraulikzylinders 6A für den linken Kantenschutz 5A und des zweiten, rechten Hydraulikzylinders 6B für den rechten Kantenschutz 5B verbunden. Die erste, untere Hydraulikkammer 6AD bzw. 6BD des ersten, linken Hydraulikzylinders 6A und des zweiten, rechten Hydraulikzylinders 6B sind über Hydraulikleitungen 28 mit dem zweiten Arbeitsanschluss 13D des Hautwegeventils 13 verbunden.The first working connection 13C of the main directional control valve 13 is connected via hydraulic lines 27 to the first, upper hydraulic chamber 6AC or 6BC of the first, left hydraulic cylinder 6A for the left edge protection 5A and of the second, right hydraulic cylinder 6B for the right edge protection 5B. The first, lower hydraulic chamber 6AD and 6BD of the first, left hydraulic cylinder 6A and the The second, right-hand hydraulic cylinder 6B is connected to the second working connection 13D of the main directional control valve 13 via hydraulic lines 28 .

Wenn das Druckzuschaltventil 16 die zweite Schaltstellung einnimmt und sich das Hauptwegeventil 13 in der ersten Schaltstellung befindet und die Nebenwegeventile 14, 15 die zweite Schaltstellung einnehmen, strömt die Hydraulikflüssigkeit in die unteren Hydraulikammern 6AD, 6BD der beiden Hydraulikzylinder 6A, 6B, so dass der linke und rechte Kantenschutz 5A, 5B angehoben werden. Wenn die Spule D nur des linken Nebenwegeventils 6A bestromt wird, strömt Hydraulikflüssigkeit nur in die untere Hydraulikkammer des linken Hydraulikzylinders 6A, so dass nur der linke Kantenschutz 5A angehoben wird, während nur der rechte Kantenschutz 5B angehoben wird, wenn die Spule E nur des rechten Nebenwegeventils 6B bestromt wird. Dabei kann die Hydraulikflüssigkeit aus der oberen Kammer 6AC, 6BC des Hydraulikzylinders 6A, 6B über das Hauptwegeventil 13 in den Hydraulikflüssigkeitstank 21 abfließen.When the pressure sequence valve 16 assumes the second switching position and the main directional control valve 13 is in the first switching position and the secondary directional control valves 14, 15 assume the second switching position, the hydraulic fluid flows into the lower hydraulic chambers 6AD, 6BD of the two hydraulic cylinders 6A, 6B, so that the left and right edge protectors 5A, 5B are raised. When the spool D of only the left bypass valve 6A is energized, hydraulic fluid only flows into the lower hydraulic chamber of the left hydraulic cylinder 6A, so that only the left edge protector 5A is raised, while only the right edge protector 5B is raised when the spool E of only the right By-pass valve 6B is energized. The hydraulic fluid can flow out of the upper chamber 6AC, 6BC of the hydraulic cylinder 6A, 6B via the main directional control valve 13 into the hydraulic fluid tank 21.

In der zweiten Schaltstellung des Hautwegeventils 13 ist die Flussrichtung der Hydraulikflüssigkeit umgekehrt zu der ersten Schaltstellung. Folglich strömt die Hydraulikflüssigkeit in die oberen Hydraulikammern 6AC, 6BC der beiden Hydraulikzylinder 6A, 6C, wenn an dem Druckzuschaltventil 16 eine Steuerspannung anliegt und an den Nebenwegeventilen 14, 15 eine Steuerspannung anliegt, so dass die Nebenwegeventile die zweite Schaltstellung einnehmen, wodurch der linke und rechte Kantenschutz 5A, 5B abgesenkt werden. Wenn die Spule D nur des linken Nebenwegeventils 14 bestromt wird, strömt Hydraulikflüssigkeit nur in die obere Hydraulikkammer 6AC des linken Hydraulikzylinders 6AC, so dass nur der linke Kantenschutz 5A abgesenkt wird, während nur der rechte Kantenschutz 5B abgesenkt wird, wenn die Spule E nur des rechten Nebenwegeventils 16 bestromt wird. Dabei kann die Hydraulikflüssigkeit aus der unteren Kammer 6AD, 6BD über das jeweilige Nebenwegventil 14, 15 und das Hauptwegeventil 13 in den Hydraulikflüssigkeitstank 21 abfließen.In the second switching position of the main directional control valve 13, the flow direction of the hydraulic fluid is the opposite of the first switching position. Consequently, the hydraulic fluid flows into the upper hydraulic chambers 6AC, 6BC of the two hydraulic cylinders 6A, 6C when a control voltage is applied to the pressure sequence valve 16 and a control voltage is applied to the bypass valves 14, 15, so that the bypass valves assume the second switching position, whereby the left and right edge protection 5A, 5B are lowered. When the spool D of only the left bypass valve 14 is energized, hydraulic fluid flows only into the upper hydraulic chamber 6AC of the left hydraulic cylinder 6AC, so only the left edge guard 5A is lowered, while only the right edge guard 5B is lowered when the spool E of only the right bypass valve 16 is energized. The hydraulic fluid can flow out of the lower chamber 6AD, 6BD via the respective secondary directional control valve 14, 15 and the main directional control valve 13 into the hydraulic fluid tank 21.

Wenn sich das Hauptwegeventil 13 in der dritten, mittleren Schaltstellung befindet und die Nebenwegeventile 14, 15 die zweite Schaltstellung einnehmen, wird über dasIf the main directional control valve 13 is in the third, middle switching position and the secondary directional control valves 14, 15 are in the second switching position, the

Hautwegeventil 13 eine Flüssigkeitsverbindung zwischen der ersten und zweiten Hydraulikkammer 6AC, 6AD des ersten Hydraulikzylinders 6A und eine Flüssigkeitsverbindung zwischen der ersten und zweiten Hydraulikkammer 6BC, 6BD des zweiten Hydraulikzylinders 6B hergestellt, so dass der linke und rechte Kantenschutz 5A, 5B schwimmend gelagert sind. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt liegt an den Steueranschlüssen des Druckzuschaltventils 16 eine Steuerspannung nicht an, so dass die Hydraulikflüssigkeit zirkuliert.Main way valve 13 establishes fluid communication between the first and second hydraulic chambers 6AC, 6AD of the first hydraulic cylinder 6A and fluid communication between the first and second hydraulic chambers 6BC, 6BD of the second hydraulic cylinder 6B, so that the left and right edge protectors 5A, 5B are floating. At this point in time, there is no control voltage at the control connections of the pressure sequence valve 16, so that the hydraulic fluid circulates.

Wenn an den Steueranschlüssen des Hautwegeventils 13 und des ersten und zweiten Nebenwegeventils 14, 15 eine Steuerspannung nicht anliegt, sind der rechte und linke Kantenschutz verriegelt.If there is no control voltage at the control terminals of the main directional control valve 13 and the first and second secondary directional control valves 14, 15, the right and left edge protection are locked.

Fig. 4B zeigt eine Tabelle, aus der die einzelnen Funktionen ersichtlich sind. In der Tabelle ist die Spule des Druckzuschaltventils mit "A" bezeichnet, wobei das Druckzuschaltventil die zweite Schaltstellung einnimmt, wenn die Spule A bestromt wird. Die Spulen des Hauptwegeventils sind mit "B" und "C" bezeichnet, wobei das Hauptwegeventil 13 die erste Schaltstellung einnimmt, wenn Spule B bestromt wird, und die zweite Schaltstellung einnimmt, wenn die Spule C bestromt wird. Wenn keine der beiden Spulen B und C bestromt wird, nimmt das Hautstromwegeventil die dritte, mittlere Schaltstellung ein. Die Spule des ersten Nebenwegeventils 14 ist mit "D" und die Spule des zweiten Nebenwegeventils 15 mit "E" bezeichnet. Diese Bezeichnungen der Spulen finden sich auch in Fig. 4A. Ein nach oben zeigender Pfeil symbolisiert in Fig. 4B ein Anheben des Kantenschutzes 5A, 5B und ein nach unten zeigender Pfeil symbolisiert ein Absenken des Kantenschutzes. Der linke Kantenschutz 5A ist mit "L" und der rechte Kantenschutz 5B ist in Fig. 4B mit "R" bezeichnet. Figure 4B shows a table from which the individual functions can be seen. The coil of the pressure sequence valve is labeled "A" in the table, with the pressure sequence valve assuming the second switching position when coil A is energized. The spools of the main directional control valve are labeled "B" and "C", with the main directional control valve 13 assuming the first switching position when coil B is energized and the second switching position when coil C is energized. If neither of the two coils B and C is energized, the main flow control valve assumes the third, middle switching position. The spool of the first bypass valve 14 is labeled "D" and the spool of the second bypass valve 15 is labeled "E". These designations of the coils can also be found in Figure 4A . An arrow pointing up symbolizes in Figure 4B raising the edge protection 5A, 5B and an arrow pointing downward symbolizes a lowering of the edge protection. The left edge protector 5A is labeled "L" and the right edge protector 5B is in Figure 4B labeled "R".

Das erste Druckbegrenzungsventil 17 öffnet bei einem einstellbaren Überdruck, beispielsweise 200 bar, einen Durchflussweg von der Zulauf-Hydraulikleitung 24 stromauf des Zulaufanschlusses 13A des Hautwegeventils 13 zu der Ablauf-Hydraulikleitung 25. Über das zweite Druckbegrenzungsventil 18 kann bei einem einstellbaren Überdruck, beispielsweise 50 bar, Hydraulikflüssigkeit aus den oberen Kammern der beiden Hydraulikzylinder 6A, 6B abströmen. Das erste Druckbegrenzungsventil 17 dient der maximalen Druckabsicherung für das Gesamtsystem, und das zweite Druckbegrenzungsventil 18 dient einer Druckabsicherung beim Absenken des Kantenschutzes und der Vermeidung eines unzulässig hohen Drucks auf der Kolbenstangenseite der Hydraulikzylinder.At an adjustable overpressure, for example 200 bar, the first pressure limiting valve 17 opens a flow path from the inflow hydraulic line 24 upstream of the inflow connection 13A of the main directional control valve 13 to the outflow hydraulic line 25. The second pressure limiting valve 18 can be used at an adjustable overpressure, for example 50 bar , Hydraulic fluid flow out of the upper chambers of the two hydraulic cylinders 6A, 6B. The first pressure relief valve 17 is used maximum pressure protection for the entire system, and the second pressure-limiting valve 18 serves to protect against pressure when lowering the edge protection and to avoid an impermissibly high pressure on the piston rod side of the hydraulic cylinder.

Fig. 5A zeigt ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel des Hydrauliksystems, das sich von der unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren 4A und 4B beschriebenen Ausführungsform durch das erste und zweite Nebenwegeventil 29, 30, ein erstes und ein zweites Rückschlagventil 31, 32 sowie eine zusätzlich Hydraulikleitung 33 unterscheidet. Nachfolgend werden nur die Unterschiede beschrieben. Die einander entsprechenden Teile sind in den Figuren mit denselben Bezugszeichen versehen. Figure 5A FIG. 12 shows a second embodiment of the hydraulic system, which differs from that with reference to FIG Figures 4A and 4B described embodiment by the first and second bypass valve 29, 30, a first and a second check valve 31, 32 and an additional hydraulic line 33 differs. Only the differences are described below. Corresponding parts are given the same reference numbers in the figures.

Die Nebenwegeventile 29, 30 sind bei dem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel in eine der beiden Schaltstellungen vorgespannte 4/2-Wegeventile, die einen ersten Arbeitsanschluss 29A, 30A, einen zweiten Arbeitsanschluss 29B, 30B, einen dritten Arbeitsanschluss 29C, 30C und einen vierten Arbeitsanschluss 29D, 30D aufweisen, wobei in der ersten, nicht bestromten Schaltstellung der erste Arbeitsanschluss und der dritte Arbeitsanschluss miteinander verbunden sind und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss und der vierte Arbeitsanschluss miteinander verbunden sind, und in der zweiten, bestromten Schaltstellung der erste Arbeitsanschluss mit dem vierten Arbeitsanschluss und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss mit dem dritten Arbeitsanschluss verbunden ist. Der vierte Arbeitsanschluss ist mit einer abgesperrten Leitung 29E, 30E verschlossen.In the second exemplary embodiment, the bypass valves 29, 30 are 4/2-way valves that are prestressed in one of the two switching positions and have a first working connection 29A, 30A, a second working connection 29B, 30B, a third working connection 29C, 30C and a fourth working connection 29D, 30D have, wherein in the first, non-energized switching position, the first working connection and the third working connection are connected to one another and the second working connection and the fourth working connection are connected to one another, and in the second, energized switching position, the first working connection to the fourth working connection and the second working connection connected to the third working port. The fourth working connection is closed with a blocked line 29E, 30E.

Das erste Rückschlagventil 31 befindet sich in dem einen Leitungszweig und das zweite Rückschlagventil 32 befindet sich in dem anderen Leitungszweig der von dem zweiten Arbeitsanschluss 13D des Hauptwegeventils 13 zu den ersten Arbeitsanschlüssen 29A, 30A der beiden Nebenwegeventile 29, 30 führenden Hydraulikleitung 33. Die Rückschlagventile 31, 32 sind in den Hydraulikleitungen 28 derart angeordnet, dass sie einen Flüssigkeitsfluss durch die Hydraulikleitungen 28 von dem Hautwegeventil 13 zu den Nebenwegeventilen 29, 30 ermöglichen und in entgegengesetzter Richtung sperren. Es sei zunächst angenommen, dass die Spule A des Druckzuschaltventils 16 bestromt ist, so dass sich das Druckzuschaltventil in der zweiten Schaltstellung befindet.The first check valve 31 is located in one line branch and the second check valve 32 is located in the other line branch of the hydraulic line 33 leading from the second working port 13D of the main directional valve 13 to the first working ports 29A, 30A of the two secondary directional valves 29, 30. The check valves 31 , 32 are arranged in the hydraulic lines 28 in such a way that they enable a fluid flow through the hydraulic lines 28 from the main directional control valve 13 to the secondary directional control valves 29, 30 and block it in the opposite direction. It is initially assumed that the coil A of the pressure sequence valve 16 is energized, so that the pressure sequence valve is in the second switching position.

Wenn die Spule B des Hauptstromventils 13 bestromt ist, so dass sich das Hauptwegeventil in der ersten Schaltstellung befindet, und wenn die Spulen D und E der Nebenwegeventile 29, 30 nicht bestromt sind, so dass die Nebenventile in die erste Schaltstellung vorgespannt sind, strömt die Hydraulikflüssigkeit durch die Rückschlageventile 31, 32 in die unteren Hydraulikammern 6AD, 6BD der beiden Hydraulikzylinder 6A, 6B, so dass der linke und rechte Kantenschutz 5A, 5B angehoben werden. Dabei kann die Hydraulikflüssigkeit in der ersten Schaltstellung des Hauptwegeventils 13 aus der oberen Kammer 6AC, 6BC des ersten bzw. zweiten Hydraulikzylinders 6A, 6B über das Hauptwegeventil 13 in den Hydraulikflüssigkeitstank 21 abfließen.If the coil B of the main flow valve 13 is energized, so that the main directional valve is in the first switching position, and if the coils D and E of the secondary directional valves 29, 30 are not energized, so that the secondary valves are pretensioned in the first switching position, the Hydraulic fluid through the check valves 31, 32 into the lower hydraulic chambers 6AD, 6BD of the two hydraulic cylinders 6A, 6B, so that the left and right edge protectors 5A, 5B are raised. The hydraulic fluid can flow out of the upper chamber 6AC, 6BC of the first or second hydraulic cylinder 6A, 6B via the main directional valve 13 into the hydraulic fluid tank 21 when the main directional control valve 13 is in the first switching position.

Wenn nur die Spule D des ersten Nebenwegeventils 29 bestromt wird, kann Hydraulikflüssigkeit nur in die untere Hydraulikkammer 6BD des rechten Hydraulikzylinders 6B strömen, so dass nur der rechte Kantenschutz 6B angehoben wird, da das erste Nebenwegeventil 29 in der zweiten Schaltstellung den Zulauf zu der unteren Hydraulikkammer 6AD des linken Hydraulikzylinders 6A absperrt. Wenn nur die Spule E des zweiten Nebenwegeventils 30 bestromt wird, kann Hydraulikflüssigkeit nur in die untere Hydraulikkammer 6AD des linken Hydraulikzylinders 6A strömen, so dass nur der linke Kantenschutz 5A angehoben wird, da das zweite Nebenwegeventil 30 in der zweiten Schaltstellung den Zulauf zu der unteren Hydraulikkammer des rechten Hydraulikzylinders 6B absperrt.If only the coil D of the first bypass valve 29 is energized, hydraulic fluid can only flow into the lower hydraulic chamber 6BD of the right hydraulic cylinder 6B, so that only the right edge protection 6B is lifted, since the first bypass valve 29 in the second switch position allows the inflow to the lower Hydraulic chamber 6AD of the left hydraulic cylinder 6A shuts off. If only the coil E of the second bypass valve 30 is energized, hydraulic fluid can only flow into the lower hydraulic chamber 6AD of the left hydraulic cylinder 6A, so that only the left edge protection 5A is raised, since the second bypass valve 30 in the second switching position allows the inflow to the lower Hydraulic chamber of the right hydraulic cylinder 6B shuts off.

In der zweiten Schaltstellung des Hautwegeventils 13, wenn die Spule C bestromt wird, ist die Flussrichtung der Hydraulikflüssigkeit umgekehrt zu der ersten Schaltstellung. Folglich strömt die Hydraulikflüssigkeit in die oberen Hydraulikammern 6AC, 6BC der beiden Hydraulikzylinder, wenn an dem Druckzuschaltventil 16 eine Steuerspannung anliegt, und aus den unteren Kammern 6AD, 6BD der beiden Hydraulikzylinder 6A, 6B über die zusätzliche Hydraulikleitung 33 in den Hydraulikflüssigkeitstank 21, wenn die Spulen D und E der Nebenwegeventile 29, 30 bestromt werden, so dass der linke und rechte Kantenschutz 5A, 6A abgesenkt werden.In the second switching position of the main directional control valve 13, when the coil C is energized, the direction of flow of the hydraulic fluid is the opposite of the first switching position. Consequently, the hydraulic fluid flows into the upper hydraulic chambers 6AC, 6BC of the two hydraulic cylinders when a control voltage is applied to the pressure sequence valve 16, and out of the lower chambers 6AD, 6BD of the two hydraulic cylinders 6A, 6B via the additional hydraulic line 33 into the hydraulic fluid tank 21 when the Coils D and E of the bypass valves 29, 30 are energized so that the left and right edge protectors 5A, 6A are lowered.

Wenn an einem der beiden Nebenwegeventile 29, 30 eine Steuerspannung nicht anliegt, so dass das jeweilige Nebenwegeventil in die erste Schaltstellung vorgespannt ist, kann der jeweilige Kantenschutz nicht abgesenkt werden, da das jeweilige Rückschlagventil den Rückfluss der Hydraulikflüssigkeit aus der unteren Hydraulikkammer des jeweiligen Hydraulikzylinders sperrt. Folglich kann durch Anlegen einer Steuerspannung an das linke oder rechte Nebenwegeventil 29, 30 bestimmt werden, ob der linke oder rechte Kantenschutz 5A, 5B abgesenkt wird.If a control voltage is not applied to one of the two bypass valves 29, 30, so that the respective bypass valve is prestressed in the first switching position, the respective edge protection cannot be lowered, since the respective check valve blocks the return flow of the hydraulic fluid from the lower hydraulic chamber of the respective hydraulic cylinder . Consequently, by applying a control voltage to the left or right bypass valve 29, 30, it can be determined whether the left or right edge guard 5A, 5B is lowered.

Wenn sich das Hauptwegeventil 13 in der dritten, mittleren Schaltstellung befindet und wenn an den Nebenwegeventilen 29, 30 eine Steuerspannung anliegt, so dass die Nebenwegeventile die zweite Schaltstellung einnehmen, wird über das Hautwegeventil 13 und die zusätzliche Hydraulikleitung 33 eine Flüssigkeitsverbindung zwischen der ersten und zweiten Hydraulikkammer 6AC, 6AD des ersten Hydraulikzylinders 6A und eine Flüssigkeitsverbindung zwischen der ersten und zweiten Hydraulikkammer 6BC, 6BD des zweiten Hydraulikzylinders hergestellt, so dass der linke und rechte Kantenschutz 6A, 6B schwimmend gelagert sind. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt liegt an dem Druckzuschaltventil 16 eine Steuerspannung nicht an, so dass die Hydraulikflüssigkeit zirkuliert.If the main directional valve 13 is in the third, middle switching position and if a control voltage is applied to the secondary directional valves 29, 30 so that the secondary directional valves assume the second switching position, a fluid connection between the first and second is established via the main directional valve 13 and the additional hydraulic line 33 Hydraulic chamber 6AC, 6AD of the first hydraulic cylinder 6A and fluid communication between the first and second hydraulic chambers 6BC, 6BD of the second hydraulic cylinder are established so that the left and right edge protectors 6A, 6B are floating. At this point in time, there is no control voltage at the pressure sequence valve 16, so that the hydraulic fluid circulates.

Wenn an den Steueranschlüssen des Hautwegeventils 13 und des ersten und zweiten Nebenwegeventils 29, 30 keine Steuerspannung anliegt, sind der rechte und linke Kantenschutz 5A, 5B wie bei der ersten Ausführungsform verriegelt.When no control voltage is applied to the control terminals of the main directional control valve 13 and the first and second sub directional control valves 29, 30, the right and left edge protectors 5A, 5B are locked as in the first embodiment.

Fig. 45B zeigt eine Tabelle, aus der die einzelnen Funktionen des zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels ersichtlich sind. In Fig. 5B werden wieder dieselben Bezugszeichen wie in Fig. 4B verwendet.45B is a table showing each function of the second embodiment. In Figure 5B the same reference numerals as in Figure 4B used.

Fig. 6A zeigt ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel des Hydrauliksystems, das sich von der unter Bezugnahme auf die Figuren 5A und 5B beschriebenen Ausführungsform nur durch das erste und zweite Nebenwegeventil 34, 35 unterscheidet. Nachfolgend werden nur die Unterschiede beschrieben. Die einander entsprechenden Teile sind in den Figuren mit denselben Bezugszeichen versehen. Figure 6A FIG. 12 shows a third embodiment of the hydraulic system, which differs from that with reference to FIG Figures 5A and 5B described embodiment only by the first and second bypass valve 34, 35 differs. Below are just the differences described. Corresponding parts are given the same reference numbers in the figures.

Bei dem dritten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Nebenwegeventile 34, 35 in eine der beiden Schaltstellungen vorgespannte 3/2-Wegeventile, die einen ersten Arbeitsanschluss 34A, 35A einen zweiten Arbeitsanschluss 34B,35B und einen dritten Arbeitsanschluss 34C, 35C aufweisen. In der ersten Schaltstellung sind der erste Arbeitsanschluss 34A, 35A und der dritte Arbeitsanschluss 34C, 35C miteinander verbunden und zweite Arbeitsanschluss 34B, 35B ist abgesperrt, und in der zweiten Schaltstellung ist der erste Arbeitsanschluss 34A, 35A abgesperrt und der zweite Arbeitsanschluss 34B, 35B und der dritte Arbeitsanschluss 34C, 35C sind miteinander verbunden.In the third exemplary embodiment, the bypass valves 34, 35 are pretensioned in one of the two switching positions 3/2-way valves which have a first working connection 34A, 35A, a second working connection 34B, 35B and a third working connection 34C, 35C. In the first switching position, the first working connection 34A, 35A and the third working connection 34C, 35C are connected to one another and the second working connection 34B, 35B is blocked, and in the second switching position the first working connection 34A, 35A is blocked and the second working connection 34B, 35B and the third working connection 34C, 35C are connected to one another.

Es sei zunächst angenommen, dass die Spule A des Druckzuschaltventils 16 bestromt ist, so dass sich das Druckzuschaltventil 16 in der zweiten Schaltstellung befindet.It is initially assumed that the coil A of the pressure sequence valve 16 is energized, so that the pressure sequence valve 16 is in the second switching position.

Wenn die Spule B des Hauptstromventils 16 bestromt ist, so dass sich das Hauptwegeventil in der ersten Schaltstellung befindet, und wenn die Spulen D und E der Nebenwegeventile 34, 35 nicht bestromt sind, so dass die Nebenwegeventile in die erste Schaltstellung vorgespannt sind, strömt die Hydraulikflüssigkeit durch die Rückschlageventile 31, 32 in die unteren Hydraulikammern 6AD, 6BD der beiden Hydraulikzylinder 6A, 6B, so dass der linke und rechte Kantenschutz 5A, 5B angehoben werden. Dabei kann die Hydraulikflüssigkeit in der ersten Schaltstellung des Hauptwegeventils 13 aus der oberen Kammer 6AC, 6BC des ersten bzw. zweiten Hydraulikzylinders 6A, 6B über das Hauptwegeventil 13 in den Hydraulikflüssigkeitstank 21 abfließen.If the coil B of the main flow valve 16 is energized, so that the main directional valve is in the first switching position, and if the coils D and E of the secondary directional valves 34, 35 are not energized, so that the secondary directional valves are biased into the first switching position, the Hydraulic fluid through the check valves 31, 32 into the lower hydraulic chambers 6AD, 6BD of the two hydraulic cylinders 6A, 6B, so that the left and right edge protectors 5A, 5B are raised. The hydraulic fluid can flow out of the upper chamber 6AC, 6BC of the first or second hydraulic cylinder 6A, 6B via the main directional valve 13 into the hydraulic fluid tank 21 when the main directional control valve 13 is in the first switching position.

Wenn nur die Spule D des ersten Nebenwegeventils 35 bestromt wird, kann Hydraulikflüssigkeit nur in die untere Hydraulikkammer 6BD des rechten Hydraulikzylinders 6B strömen, so dass nur der rechte Kantenschutz 5B angehoben wird, da der erste Arbeitsanschluss 34A des ersten Nebenwegeventils 34 in der zweiten Schaltstellung abgesperrt ist und der Zulauf zu der unteren Hydraulikkammer 6AD des linken Hydraulikzylinders 6A unterbrochen ist. Wenn nur die Spule E des zweiten Nebenwegeventils 35 bestromt wird, kann Hydraulikflüssigkeit nur in die untere Hydraulikkammer 6AD des linken Hydraulikzylinders 6A strömen, so dass nur der linke Kantenschutz 5A angehoben wird, da das zweite Nebenwegeventil 35 in der zweiten Schaltstellung den Zulauf zu der unteren Hydraulikkammer 6BD des rechten Hydraulikzylinders 6B unterbricht.If only the coil D of the first bypass valve 35 is energized, hydraulic fluid can only flow into the lower hydraulic chamber 6BD of the right hydraulic cylinder 6B, so that only the right edge protection 5B is raised, since the first working port 34A of the first bypass valve 34 is blocked in the second switching position and the supply to the lower hydraulic chamber 6AD of the left hydraulic cylinder 6A is interrupted. If only the coil E of the second By-pass valve 35 is energized, hydraulic fluid can only flow into the lower hydraulic chamber 6AD of the left-hand hydraulic cylinder 6A, so that only the left-hand edge protection 5A is raised, since the second by-pass valve 35 in the second switching position interrupts the feed to the lower hydraulic chamber 6BD of the right-hand hydraulic cylinder 6B .

In der zweiten Schaltstellung des Hautwegeventils 13, wenn die Spule C bestromt wird, ist die Flussrichtung der Hydraulikflüssigkeit umgekehrt. Folglich strömt die Hydraulikflüssigkeit in die oberen Hydraulikammern 6AC, 6BC der beiden Hydraulikzylinder 6A, 6B, wenn an dem Druckzuschaltventil 16 eine Steuerspannung anliegt, und aus den unteren Kammern 6AD, 6BD der beiden Hydraulikzylinder 6A, 6B strömt die Hydraulikflüssigkeit über die zusätzliche Hydraulikleitung 33 in den Hydraulikflüssigkeitstank 23, wenn die Spulen D, E der Nebenwegeventile 34, 35 bestromt werden, so dass der linke und rechte Kantenschutz abgesenkt werden.In the second switching position of the main directional control valve 13, when the coil C is energized, the direction of flow of the hydraulic fluid is reversed. Consequently, the hydraulic fluid flows into the upper hydraulic chambers 6AC, 6BC of the two hydraulic cylinders 6A, 6B when a control voltage is applied to the pressure sequence valve 16, and the hydraulic fluid flows out of the lower chambers 6AD, 6BD of the two hydraulic cylinders 6A, 6B via the additional hydraulic line 33 in the hydraulic fluid tank 23 when the coils D, E of the bypass valves 34, 35 are energized so that the left and right edge guards are lowered.

Wenn aber an einem der beiden Nebenwegeventile 34, 35 eine Steuerspannung nicht anliegt, so dass das jeweilige Nebenwegeventil in die erste Schaltstellung vorgespannt ist, kann der jeweilige Kantenschutz nicht abgesenkt werden, da das jeweilige Rückschlagventil 31, 32 den Rückfluss der Hydraulikflüssigkeit aus der unteren Hydraulikkammer des jeweiligen Hydraulikzylinders unterbricht. Folglich kann durch Anlegen einer Steuerspannung an das linke oder rechte Nebenwegeventil 34, 35 bestimmt werden, ob der linke oder rechte Kantenschutz abgesenkt wird.However, if a control voltage is not present at one of the two bypass valves 34, 35, so that the respective bypass valve is prestressed in the first switching position, the respective edge protection cannot be lowered, since the respective check valve 31, 32 prevents the hydraulic fluid from flowing back from the lower hydraulic chamber of the respective hydraulic cylinder. Thus, by applying a control voltage to the left or right bypass valve 34, 35, it can be determined whether the left or right edge guard is lowered.

Wenn sich das Hauptwegeventil 16 in der dritten, mittleren Schaltstellung befindet und wenn an den Nebenwegeventilen 34, 35 eine Steuerspannung anliegt, so dass die Nebenwegeventile die zweite Schaltstellung einnehmen, wird über das Hautwegeventil 13 und die zusätzliche Hydraulikleitung 33 eine Flüssigkeitsverbindung zwischen der ersten und zweiten Hydraulikkammer 6AC, 6AD des ersten Hydraulikzylinders 6A und eine Flüssigkeitsverbindung zwischen der ersten und zweiten Hydraulikkammer 6BC, 6BD des zweiten Hydraulikzylinders 6B hergestellt, so dass der linke und rechte Kantenschutz 5A, 5B schwimmend gelagert sind. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt liegt an dem Druckzuschaltventil 16 eine Steuerspannung nicht an, so dass die Hydraulikflüssigkeit zirkuliert.If the main directional control valve 16 is in the third, middle switching position and if a control voltage is applied to the secondary directional control valves 34, 35 so that the secondary directional control valves assume the second switching position, a fluid connection is established between the first and second via the main directional control valve 13 and the additional hydraulic line 33 Hydraulic chamber 6AC, 6AD of the first hydraulic cylinder 6A and fluid communication between the first and second hydraulic chambers 6BC, 6BD of the second hydraulic cylinder 6B are established so that the left and right edge protectors 5A, 5B are floating. At this point in time, there is no control voltage at the pressure sequence valve 16, so that the hydraulic fluid circulates.

Wenn an den Steueranschlüssen des Hautwegeventils 13 und des ersten und zweiten Nebenwegeventils 34, 35 keine Steuerspannung anliegt, sind der rechte und linke Kantenschutz wie bei der ersten Ausführungsform verriegelt.When no control voltage is applied to the control terminals of the main directional control valve 13 and the first and second secondary directional control valves 34, 35, the right and left edge protectors are locked as in the first embodiment.

Fig. 6B zeigt eine Tabelle, aus der die einzelnen Funktionen des dritten Ausführungsbeispiels ersichtlich sind. In Fig. 4A und 4B werden wieder dieselben Bezeichnungen verwendet. Figure 6B shows a table from which the individual functions of the third embodiment can be seen. In Figure 4A and 4B the same designations are used again.
