Abstract
A load arm suspension system for a load arm assembly with at least one hydraulic cylinder, which load arm suspension system comprises an accumulator which is connected to a first cylinder space of at least one cylinder. A tank for hydraulic oil is connected to a second cylinder space of the at least one hydraulic cylinder. A first valve member is arranged between the accumulator and the first cylinder space of the at least one cylinder and a second valve member is arranged between the tank and the second cylinder space of the at least one cylinder.
Claims17
Load arm suspension system for a load arm assembly (2) with at least one hydraulic cylinder (4), which load arm suspension system (6) comprises an accumulator (8), which is connected to a first cylinder space (14) of the at least one hydraulic cylinder (4), and a tank (20) for hydraulic oil, which is connected to a second cylinder space (16) of the at least one hydraulic cylinder (4), a first valve member (12) is arranged between the accumulator (8) and the first cylinder space (14) of the at least one hydraulic cylinder (4), and in that a second valve member (18) is arranged between the tank (20) and the second cylinder space (16) of the at least one hydraulic cylinder (4), characterized in that the first valve member (12) comprises a first stop valve (22) with a first logic element (24), which first stop valve (22) is connected, by a first connection (28), to the first cylinder space (14) of the at least one hydraulic cylinder (4) and, by a second connection (30), to the accumulator (8), and that the first stop valve (22) cooperate with an additional logic element (26, 84) to obtain a pressure balancing between the accumulator (8) and the first cylinder space (14) of the at least one hydraulic cylinder (4) before a connection has been established between the accumulator (8) and the first cylinder space (14).
