Latest Patents
Matthew holds a patent for a "Power generating system and hydraulic control system." This invention features a hydraulic control system (HCS) designed to manage a variable ratio transmission within a power generating system. The hydraulic motor/pump unit is operably connected to a superposition gear and is integrated into a hydraulic circuit that includes an orifice and/or a relief valve that activates at a predetermined hydraulic pressure. The system is capable of switching between a variable low-speed operating mode and a torque limiting high-speed operating mode. In the high-speed mode, the hydraulic motor/pump unit is driven by the superposition gear, allowing hydraulic fluid to flow through the orifice and/or relief valve, thus providing a passive torque limiting function. Conversely, in the low-speed mode, the hydraulic motor/pump unit drives the superposition gear, and the hydraulic control system regulates the rotor speed by controlling the hydraulic fluid flow rate.
