An infinitely variable hydrostatic transmission drive for self-propelled machines having a plurality of transmission motors which are fed from a common displaceable transmission-drive pump, at least one variable displacement motor having a swashplate which can be swung back into a zero position and at least one fixed displacement motor are provided in hydraulic parallel circuit. The motors operate in at least one case via a common back gearing on a common output, a shift coupling being provided between the variable displacement motor and an output.

Infinitely variable hydrostatic transmission drive

A circuit for hydrostatically operable devices, especially hydraulic dredges, with at least two working circuits each of which comprises a plurality of hydraulic cylinders and/or hydraulic motors as well as a hydraulic pump while, depending on the requirement, the delivery of the pertaining hydraulic pump is conveyed to each hydraulic cylinder or hydraulic motor and while by means of a plurality of tie lines the deliveries of the remaining hydraulic pumps are selectively conveyed to one of two or more selected hydraulic cylinders or hydraulic motors. The deliveries of the hydraulic pumps flow to the tank after having passed through the control valves associated with the hydraulic cylinders and controlling each of the hydraulic pumps. The control members for each of the circuits of the pumps involved comprise circulating passages which are passed through in opposite directions while the circulating passages of one pump are through conduits and the circulating passages of the other pump are likewise through conduits connected to each other and are further by means of conduits connected to the tank. The circuit is furthermore characterized in that from the connecting conduits there branch off lines which through check valves are connected to the pressure connection of the respective control valve. The circuit is furthermore characterized in that when the control members are actuated so as to move out of their zero position both circulating passages are blocked.
