Definitions
- This invention relates to hydraulic drive systems for civil engineering and construction machinery, and more particularly it is concerned with a hydraulic drive system suitable for use with civil engineering and construction machinery provided with a plurality of working elements, such as hydraulic shovels.
- a hydraulic shovel is provided with a plurality of working elements including a swing, left and right travelling members, a boom, an arm and a bucket which are adapted to be driven by respective hydraulic actuators such as a swing motor, left and right travelling motors, a boom cylinder, an arm cylinder and a bucket cylinder of a hydraulic drive system.
- the hydraulic drive system generally comprises at least two hydraulic circuits each having a hydraulic pump mounted therein, and a valve group comprising a plurality of directional control valves for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid supplied to the associated actuators from the pump thereby to control the operation of the actuators.
- the parallel connection of the directional control valves as aforesaid enables the hydraulic circuits to be simplified in construction and permits a plurality of actuators to be simultaneously driven.
- difficulties are experienced in effecting control accurately because actuator operations would be mutually influenced by the working pressure thereof.
- the hydraulic shovel is travelling straightforwardly by actuating the left and right travelling motors connected to the two hydraulic pumps respectively, if an attempt is made to actuate the swing motor, boom cylinder, arm cylinder or bucket cylinder connected in parallel with one of the travel motors, then the hydraulic shovel would travel in zigzag fashion.
- the hydraulic fluid would flow only to the actuator of lower working pressure and the other actuator or actuators would be rendered inoperative.
- the hydraulic drive system disclosed in this US Patent Specification comprises a first hydraulic circuit and a second hydraulic circuit connected together at specific points therein through a first bypass line, a second bypass line and a third bypass line, one of such two circuits having specific points therein connected together through a fourth bypass line.
- the system further comprises a control valve and on-off valves associated with the first to third bypass lines and responsive to actuation of the predetermined directional control valves.
- the boom directional control valve is connected in tandem to the right travelling directional valve on the downstream side of the latter.
- This arrangement makes it impossible to supply hydraulic fluid simultaneously to the right travelling motor and the boom cylinder, so that it is impossible to perform travelling and boom combined operations.
- the provision of the fourth bypass line enables hydraulic fluid to be simultaneously supplied to the left travelling motor and the arm cylinder thereby to permit travel and arm combined operations to be performed.
- the left travelling motor and the arm cylinder would be mutually influenced by the working pressures thereof, so that when the left travelling motor has a lower working pressure the arm would not operate.
- the working pressure of the left travelling motor drops and makes it impossible for the arm to operate simultaneously.
- the operator of the hydraulic shovel intends to drive the travelling members forwardly by pulling the arm toward him. In such case, it would be impossible for the hydraulic shovel to escape from the muddy ground because of low working pressure of the travelling motors.
- it is desired to raise the arm while travelling after lifting an article with the bucket it would be impossible to attain the end of raising the arm if the arm holding pressure is raised above a certain level by the weight of the bucket.
- the boom directional control valve is connected in tandem with the bucket directional valve on the downstream side of the latter. This makes it impossible to perform boom, arm and bucket simultaneous combined operations and swivelling, boom, arm and bucket simultaneous combined operations. Also, the arrangement whereby the boom directional control valve is connected to the travelling motor on the downstream side of the latter makes it impossible to perform travelling, boom and arm simultaneous combined operations and swivelling, travelling and boom simultaneous combined operations.
- An object of this invention is to provide a hydraulic drive system for civil engineering and construction machinery capable of performing travelling and boom simultaneous combined operations and/or travelling and arm simultaneous combined operations independently of each other.
- Another object is to provide a hydraulic drive system for civil engineering and construction machinery capable of performing three simultaneous combined operations including boom, arm and bucket operations and four combined operations including swing, boom, arm and bucket operations.
- Still another object is to provide a hydraulic drive system for civil engineering and construction machinery capable of performing three simultaneous combined operations including travelling, boom and arm operations and another three simultaneous combined operations including swing, travelling and boom operations.
- Still another object is to provide a hydraulic drive system for civil engineering and construction machinery capable of avoiding the occurrence of relief due to inertia of a swing when swing and boom simultaneous combined operations are performed, thereby enabling effective utilization of energy to be achieved for raising the boom.
- a further object is to provide a hydraulic drive system for civil engineering and construction machinery enabling a plurality of actuators to perform simultaneous combined operations by actuating them in a variety of combinations while allowing the combined operations to be performed substantially independently of one another to a certain degree.

Hydraulic fluid from the second hydraulic pump 6 is supplied to the boom cylinder 50 through the second boom directional control valve 44.
- the swing having high inertia, the swing motor 48 tends to have a high working pressure when a swing acceleration operation is performed.
- the majority of the hydraulic fluid supplied from the pump 4 is sent through the bypass line 34 to the boom cylinder 50, so that the working pressure of the swing motor 48 during acceleration operation is kept to the level of the working pressure of the boom cylinder 50.
- the power can be effectively utilized for performing a boom operation.

This makes boom, arm and bucket operations performed simultaneously.

- the first arm directional control valve 28 and second arm directional control valve 40 are interlocked by the linkage C and both connected to the arm cylinder 52.
- the first bucket directional control valve 30 and second bucket directional control valve 42 are interlocked by the linkage D and both connected to the bucket cylinder 54.
- the left travelling directional control valve 32 is connected to the left travelling motor 56.
- the right travelling directional control valve 38 is connected to the right travelling motor 58.
- a bypass circuit 106 including a bypass line 104 connected at one end to the inlet port of the right travelling directional control valve 38 and at the other end to the inlet port of the left travelling directional control valve 30.
- the on-off valve 64 which, although normally closed, is brought to an open position by the linkages A-D in response to actuation of each of the valves 24, 26, 28 and 30 upstream of the left travelling directional control valve 32.
- the boom directional control valve 26 is located in an upstream position of the left travelling directional control valve 32 in the center bypass line 21 and the bypass line 98 for the valve 32 mounts the restrictor 98, the majority of hydraulic fluid from the pump 4 is supplied to the boom cylinder through the valve 26, thereby driving the boom.
- the right travelling directional control valve 38 is located on the upstream side of the boom directional control valve 44 so as to be able to receive a hydraulic fluid supply by taking priority thereover, hydraulic fluid from the pump 6 is supplied to the right travelling motor 58 through the valve 38.
- hydraulic fluid from the pump 6 is also supplied through the bypass line 104 and the left travelling directional control valve 32 to the left travelling motor 56.
- the left and right travelling motors 56 and 58 are essentially driven by hydraulic fluid supply from the pump 6.
- a small portion of hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pump 4 flows through the bypass line 98 and restrictor 100 to the left directional control valve 32.
- bypass line 98 and restrictor 100 function to prevent all the amount of hydraulic fluid from the pump 4 from being cut off by the valve 26, and therefore it is posible to eliminate large fluctuations in travelling speed and reduce a shock upon actuation of the valve 26, and also it is possible to minimize reduction in travelling speed after the actuation of the valve 26.
- the majority of hydraulic fluid from the pump 4 is supplied to the arm cylinder 52 through the arm directional control valve 28, and hydraulic fluid from the pump 6 is supplied through the left and right travelling directional control valve 32 and 38 to the left and right motors 56 and 58 respectively.
- the provision of the restrictor 100 to the bypass line 98 enables the travelling and arm operations to be performed highly independently of each other. Also, the provision of the bypass line 98 and restrictor 100 can prevent occurrence of sudden fluctuations in the travelling speed and thus reduce a shock and moreover minimize reduction in travelling speed when the valve 28 is actuated during travelling operation.
- the travelling and swing or bucket operations can be performed highly independently of each other and a shock and a reduction in travelling speed can be minimized when a swing or bucket operation is performed during travelling operation.
- the provision of the restrictor 92 to the bypass line 90 permits the majority of hydraulic fluid from the pump 4 to be supplied through the swing directional control valve 24 to the swing motor 48. Hydraulic fluid from the pump 6 is supplied through the second arm directional control valve 40 to the arm cylinder 52. By restricting the flow of hydraulic fluid through the restrictor 92 in such a manner that a pressure high enough to drive the swing can be obtained, it is possible to permit the swing and arm operations to be performed highly independently of each other.
- bypass line 90 and restrictor 92 allows hydraulic fluid from the pump 4 to flow in part, when inertia of the swing raises the working pressure of the swing motor 48 during swing acceleration, to the arm cylinder 52 through the bypass line 90 and restrictor 92.
- the two operations need be performed completely independently of each other, one has only to actuate the arm operation lever in two stages as in the swing and boom combined operations in such a manner that the second arm directional control valve 40 is only actuated in the first stage while the two arm directional control valves 28 and 40 are actuated in the second stage.
- the swing and arm operations can be performed completely independently of each other.
- the swing operation is performed simultaneously as the bucket operation, the two operations can be performed in the same manner as the swing and arm combined operations.
- the majority of hydraulic fluid from the pump 4 is supplied to the boom cylinder 50 through the first boom directional control valve 26 and to the arm cylinder 52 through the bypass line 88 and first arm directional control valve 28, and a small portion of the hydraulic fluid is supplied to the bucket cylinder through the bypass line 94 and first bucket directional control valve 30.
- Hydraulic fluid from the pump 6 is supplied to the boom cylinder 50 through the second boom directional control valve 44 and to the bucket cylinder 54 through the bypass line 102 and second bucket directional control valve 42.
- Hydraulic fluid from the pump 4 is supplied to the swing motor 48 through the swing directional control valve 24, to the boom cylinder 50 through the bypass line 86 and first boom directional control valve 26, to the arm cylinder 52 through the bypass line 90 and first arm directional control valve 28, and to the bucket cylinder 54 through the bypass line 94 and first bucket directional control valve 30.
- Hydraulic fluid from the pump 6 is supplied to the boom cylinder 50 through the second boom directional control valve 44, and to the bucket cylinder 54 through the bypass line 102 and second bucket directional control valve 42.
- bypass line 88 enables travelling, boom, and arm combined operations to be performed.
- the provision of the bypass lines 86 and 92 enables swing, travelling and boom combined operations and swing, travelling and arm combined operations respectively to be performed.
- the provision of the bypass line 104 enables left side tavelling to be performed while performing swing operation.
- the combination of the bypass line 98 and throttle 100 has the effect of avoiding the occurrence of relief during swing acceleration when performing the swing and travelling combined operations.
- Fig. 4 shows a fourth embodiment of the hydraulic drive system in conformity with the invention, in which parts similar to those shown in Figs. 1 and 3 are designated by like reference characters.
- the hydraulic drive system is generally designated by the reference numeral 110 and comprises a first hydraulic circuit 112 and a second hydraulic circuit 114.
- the first circuit 112 comprises a first valve groove 116 in which the arrangement of the elements is substantially similar to that of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 except that the bucket directional control valve of low importance is not mounted, that the arm directional control valve 28 has its inlet port connected to the center bypass line 21, not a bypass line, in a position downstream of the bucket directional control valve 26 by attaching importance to the operation of the latter, and that no bypass circuit is mounted between the left travelling directional control valve 32 and second pump 6.
- the second circuit 114 comprises a second valve group 118 in which the arrangement of the elements is substantially similar to that of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3.
- the system 110 further comprises an auxiliary left travelling directional control valve 120 interlocked with the left travelling directional control valve 32 but constituting a separate entity therefrom, and a bypass circuit 124 including a bypass line 122 connecting the valve 120 to the second pump 6.
- the on-off valve 64 mounted in the bypass circuit 124 is interlocked with the valves 24, 26 and 28 upstream of the left travelling directional control valve 32 in the center bypass line 21 by the linkages A, B and C, and is brought to an open position in response to actuation of each of the valves 24, 26 and 28.
- the auxiliary left travelling directional control valve 120 may be in the form of a six port valve.
- the arm directional control valve 28 has its inlet port connected to the center bypass line 21 in a position downstream of the boom directional control valve 26 as aforesaid. Owing to this arrangement, hydraulic fluid flows into the arm cylinder 52 through the throttle 92 and thus the operation of the arm may be slightly reduced in speed in combined operations involving the boom and arm. In other respects, the performance of the system is substantially similar to that of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3.
- Fig. 5 shows a fifth embodiment of the hydraulic drive system in conformity with the invention, in which parts similar to those shown in Figs. 1 and 3 are designated by the reference numeral 130 and comprises a first hydraulic circuit 132 and a second hydraulic circuit 134 including the first and second hydraulic pumps 4 and 6 respectively.
- the first hydraulic circuit 132 further includes a first valve group 136 in which the arrangement of the elements is substantially similar to that of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 except that no swing directional control valve is mounted and that no restrictor is mounted in the bypass line 94 for the bucket directional control valve 30.
- the second hydraulic circuit 132 includes a second valve group 138 in which the arrangement of the elements is substantially similar to that of the embodiment shown in Fig. 3.
- the on-off valve 64 is interlocked with the valves 26, 28 and 30 upstream of the left travelling directional control valve 32 in the center bypass line 21 by the linkages B, C and D, and is brought to an open position in response to actuation of each of the valves 26, 28 and 30.
- the hydraulic drive system 130 shown in Fig. 5 further comprises a third hydraulic circuit 144 including a third hydraulic pump 142, in which the swing directional control valve 24 is connected to receive a hydraulic fluid supply from the pump 142 through a main line 146.
- the pump 142 is driven by a prime mover 148 which may be the same one as or different ones from the prime movers 12 and 14.
- a relief valve 150 is mounted in the main line 146.
- valves 24-32 and 38-44 are shown as being manually operated.
- the invention is not limited to this specific type of valves and valves of the hydraulic type controlled by pilot pressure signals, valves of the electric type controlled by electrical signals, valves of the mechanical type controlled by mechanical displacement signals and any other suitable valves of the known type may be used.
- the bypass circuits 62, 106, 124 and 140 mount the on-off valve 64. However, this is not essential and the on-off valves 64 may be dispensed with and the bypass lines 60, 104 and 122 may be kept open at all times. When this is the case, the left and right travelling motors 56 and 58 would be communicated with each other during travelling operation with no other operations being performed. Thus if a difference is produced in working pressure between them, a larger quantity of hydraulic pressure fluid would flow to the motor of lower working pressure, thereby preventing the left and right travelling operations being performed independently of each other.
- the on-off valve 64, second boom directional control valve 44, second arm directional control valve 40 and second bucket directional control valve 42 have been described as being interlocked by the linkages A, B, C and D. However, the invention is not limited to this specific arrangement of the valves and the valves may be actuated independently by separate operation levers.
- the bucket directional control valve 42 of the second valve groups 18, 75, 85 and 138 may be dispensed with because this valve is low in importance.
- either the boom directional control valve 44 or the arm directional control valve 40 of the second valve groups 18, 75, 85, 118 and 138 may be dispensed with.
- the bucket directional control valve 42 of the second valve group may be located upsteam of the right travelling directional control valve 49 in the center bypass line when there is no need to perform combined operations including bucket and travelling operations.
- auxiliary left travelling directional control valve may be provided in addition to the left travelling directional control valve 32 as shown in Fig. 4 and a bypass circuit may connect such auxiliary left travelling directional control valve to the second pump.
- Fig. 1 may be modified in a manner to have a third hydraulic circuit exclusively for the swing directional control valve as is the case with the embodiment shown in Fig. 5.
