Patent ID: 8499552

Claim:
A method for triggering a hydraulic consumer ( 2 , 4 ), which has a supply side pressure chamber ( 10 , 14 ) and a return side pressure chamber ( 12 ; 16 ), wherein a connection of the pressure chambers to a pump ( 22 ) or a tank ( 24 ) is switchable by means of a valve device ( 18 , 20 ) controlled by a control unit ( 6 ), wherein via a connection of the pressure chambers ( 10 , 14 ; 12 , 16 ) with the pump ( 22 ), the supply pressure chamber ( 10 , 12 ; 14 , 16 ) and the return side pressure chamber ( 14 , 16 ; 10 , 12 ) are connected with one another, characterized by the steps: connecting the supply side pressure chamber ( 10 , 12 ; 14 , 16 ) with the return side pressure chamber ( 14 , 16 ; 10 , 12 ) by a switching of the valve device ( 18 , 20 ) via a control unit ( 6 ) in order to supply pressure fluid supplied by the return side pressure chamber and pressure fluid supplied by the pump ( 22 ) together to the supply side pressure chamber ( 10 , 12 ; 14 , 16 ) in a regeneration mode; providing a setpoint pump pressure of the pump ( 22 ); detecting the actual pressure of the pump ( 22 ); comparing the actual pump pressure with the setpoint pump pressure in order to connect the supply side pressure chamber ( 10 , 12 ; 14 , 16 ) with the pump ( 22 ) and the return side pressure chamber ( 14 , 16 ; 10 , 12 ) with the tank ( 24 ) via a switching of ( 18 , 20 ) by means of the control unit ( 6 ) when the actual pump pressure is lower than the setpoint pump pressure, during a normal mode.
