Hydraulic system with a switch valve block for a hydraulically actuatable working machine

Abstract

The present invention relates to a hydraulic system for a hydraulically actuable work machine that comprises a switching valve block having a plurality of valve block inputs for a respective connection to a pressure output of one or more hydraulic fluid pumps; having a plurality of valve block outputs for outputting a pressurized hydraulic fluid; and having at least one valve that is arranged between valve block inputs and valve block outputs and that is adapted to selectively produce a fluid connection between a first valve block input and a first valve block output or between the first valve block input and a second valve block output; a plurality of pressure sources, preferably a plurality of separately controllable pressure sources of which each one is connected to a respective valve block input; and a plurality of hydraulic consumers of which each one is connected to a respective valve block output. The system is characterized in that the first valve block output furthermore already has a fixed fluid connection, preferably a fixed exclusive fluid connection, to a second valve block input and in that the steering is connected to the first valve block output.
