Definitions
- This invention relates to a hydraulic circuit means for supplying fluid under pressure discharged by a hydraulic pump to a plurality of hydraulic driving means such as hydraulic motors or hydraulic cylinders or the like (which are referred to simply as “hydraulic actuators” hereinbelow), according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a hydraulic passage 1 has a fluid discharge passage 2 which is provided with a first operating valve 3 and a second operating valve 4, and a first circuit 7 connecting the first operating valve 3 and a first hydraulic actuator 5, and a second circuit 8 connecting the second operating valve 4 and a second hydraulic actuator 6 are provided with a first pressure compensating valve 9 and a second pressure compensating valve 10, respectively.
- the arrangement is made such that the load pressures P1 and P2 in the first and second hydraulic actuators 5 and 6, respectively, are introduced into a shuttle valve 11 where P1 is compared with P2, and as a result a higher load pressure is supplied to the first and second pressure compensating valves 9 and 10, respectively, so as to set the latter at the higher load pressure and keep the pressures at the outlets of the first and second operating valves 3 and 4 equal to each other so that when the first and second operating valves 3 and 4 are operated at the same time the fluid under pressure can be supplied to the first and second hyraulic actuators, respectively, at a flow division ratio which is proportional to the area of openings of the spools of the operating valves.
- the first circuit 7 in order to prevent the load in the first hydraulic actuator 5 at the time of starting from becoming excessive so as to prevent the load pressure at the time of starting from becoming abnormally high, the first circuit 7 is provided with a safety valve 12 so as to relieve the abnormally high load pressure at the tiem of starting the first hydraulic actuator 5 to thereby set the safety valve 12 at a pressure P0.
- the pressure P0 for setting the safety valve 12 becomes higher than the load pressure P2 in the second hydraulic actuator 6, and the setting pressure P0 is applied through the shuttle valve 11 to spring chambers 9a and 10a of the first and second pressure compensating valves 9 and 10, respectively, thereby restricting the area of opening of each of the first and second pressure compensating valves 9 and 10 to set the latter at a pressure corresponding to the setting pressure P0.
- the fluid under pressure discharged by the hydraulic pump 1 is restricted when passing through the second pressure compensating valve 10, and at the same time relieved from the safety valve 12 to the fluid tank, thereby reducing the amount of fluid to be supplied to the second hydraulic actuator 6, thus reducing the operating speed of the second hydraulic actuator 6.
- the first hydraulic actuator 5 serves as a turning motor for a power shovel and a second hydraulic actuator 6 serves as a boom actuating cylinder, and a boom is moved upwards by the boom actuating cylinder while the upper turning body is being gyrated, the load pressure at the time of starting the turning motor becomes higher than the pressure P0 at which the safety valve 12 is set, whilst the load pressure at the time of starting the boom actuating cylinder becomes lower than the pressure P0 at which the safety valve 12 is set.
- the area of opening of the second pressure compensating valve 10 is restricted by the pressure P0 at which the safety valve 12 is set, and fluid pressure is relieved from the safety valve 12 to the fluid tank, and in consequence the fluid under pressure to be supplied to the boom actuating cylinder is reduced, thereby reducing the operating speed of the boom actuating cylinder, which results in reduction in the upwardly moving speed of the boom, thus causing insufficiency in the amount of upward movement thereof.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has for its object to provide a hydraulic circuit means in which a plurality of hydraulic actuators including a hydraulic actuator of large inertia having such characteristic that the load pressure at the time of starting, i.e. , under acceleration is far higher than that at the other time, i.e., at steady state, may be operated simultaneously, being so arranged that a reduction of the speed of movement of any hydraulic actuator other than the hydraulic actuator of said characteristic is avoided.
- a hydraulic circuit means comprising: a plurality of operating valves connected to a discharge passage of a hydraulic pump, the operating valves each supplying fluid under pressure to a plurality of hydraulic actuators including a hydraulic actuator of such characteristic that the load pressure at the time of starting is far higher than that at the other time, each of the operating valves having a pressure compensating valve provided on the side of the outlet thereof, characterized in that it comprises a compensation pressure change-over valve adapted normally to supply the load pressure in a hydraulic actuator loaded with the highest load pressure to each of spring chambers of the pressure compensating valves, and, when a hydraulic actuator other than the hydraulic actuator of said characteristic is operated in the maximum range of operation, to supply the load pressure in thus operated hydraulic actuator to the spring chamber of the pressure compensating valve connected to thus operated hydraulic actuator while supplying the highest load pressure to each of the other spring chambers of the other pressure compensating valves.
- the compensation pressure change-over valve has a first position supplying the highest load pressure to each of spring chambers of the pressure compensating valves and a second position supplying the load pressure in the hydraulic actuator other than the hydraulic actuator of said characteristic to the spring chamber of the pressure compensating valve connected to that hydraulic actuator while supplying the highest load pressure to each of the other spring chambers of the other pressure compensating valves
- the hydraulic circuit means further comprises a means for holding the compensation change-over valve normally at the first position and changing over the compensation change-over valve to second postion when the operation valve connected to the above-mentioned hydraulic actuator is changed over for the full stroke.
- the pressure compensating function of one of the pressure compensating valves is enhanced temporarily by introducing the load pressure in the hydraulic actuator so as to supply a large quantity of fluid under pressure to the hydraulic actuator counnected to the pressure compensating valve so that the operating speed of the hydraulic actuator can be increased.
- Fig. 1 is a hydraulic circuit diagram showing a prior art example.
- Fig. 2 is a hydraulic circuit diagram showing a first embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 3 is a hydraulic circuit diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention.
- a spring chamber 9a of a first pressure compensating valve 9 is connected with an outlet 20a of a first shuttle valve 20, and a first inlet 20b and a second inlet 20c of the latter are connected with a first pilot path 21 and a second pilot path 22, respectively.
- the second pilot path 22 is connected with a spring chamber 10a of a second pressure compensating valve 10, an outlet 23a of a second shuttle valve 23, and a displacement controlling member la of a hydraulic pump 1, respectively.
- a first inlet 23b and a second inlet 23c of the above-mentioned second shuttle valve 23 are connected with a third pilot path 24 and a fourth pilot path 25, respectively.
- the third pilot path 24 and the first pilot path 21 are controlled to be connected by a compensation pressure change-over valve 26 with a first circuit 7, and the fourth pilot path 25 is connected with a second circuit 8.
- the above-mentioned compensation pressure change-over valve 26 has a first position 1 where the first circuit 7 is connected with the third pilot path 24, and the first pilot path 21 is conencted with a fluid tank or reservoir thereby transmitting a load pressure P1 generated by a first hydraulic actuator 5 to the second shuttle valve 23, and a second position II where the first circuit 7 is connected with the first pilot path 21, and the third pilot path 24 is disconnected, thereby transmitting the load pressure P1 from the first hydraulic actuator 5 to the first shuttle valve 20.
- the compensation pressure change-over valve 26 is normally held by a spring 26a at its first position I, and changed over to its second position II when its pilot pressure receiving portion 26b is supplied with a pilot pressure.
- the pilot pressure receiving portion 26b is supplied with a pilot pressure for changing over a second operating valve 4.
- the pilot pressure for changing over the second operating valve 4 is proportional to the operating stroke of a change-over lever. The arrangement is made such that when the change-over lever is operated for the full stroke to change-over the second operating valve 4 for the full stroke, the pilot pressure will reach its maximum value so that the compensation pressure change-over valve 26 may assume its second position II against the biasing force of the spring 26a.
- the pilot pressure for changing over the second operating valve 4 will reach a maximum value to allow the compensation pressure change-over valve 26 assume its second position II so that the load pressure P1 from the first hydraulic actuator 5 flows into through the first pilot path 21 into the first shuttle valve 20 and is compared by the latter with the load pressure P2 from the second hydraulic actuator 6, and as a result of the comparison, higher load pressure is transmitted to the spring chamber 9a of the first pressure compensating valve 9.
- the pump delivery pressure will become the load pressure P2 plus the load sensing pressure differential, with the result that there is no relief loss from a safety valve 12 and the amount of fluid passing through the second pressure compensating valve 10 will increase, thereby increasing the amount of fluid to be supplied to the second hydraulic actuator 6, and hence, increasing the operating speed.
- the higher load pressure P2 is supplied through the first shuttle valve 20 to the spring chamber 9a of the first pressure compensating valve 9 so that the first and second pressure compensating valves 9 and 10 are pressure-compensated by the load pressure P2 from the second hydraulic actuator 6, thereby distributing fluid under pressure to the first and second hyraulic actuators 5 and 6 in proportion to the degree of opening of the first and second operating valves 3 and 4, respectively.
- the pilot pressure for changing over the second operating valve 4 will not reach its maximum value, and the compensation pressure change-over valve 26 is held by its spring 26a at its first position I.
- the compensation pressure change-over valve 26 is held at its first position I so that the load pressure P1 from the first hydraulic actuator 5 acts on the spring chamber 10a of the second pressure compensating valve 10 the through the second shuttle valve 23, thereby compensating the second pressure compensating valve 10.
- the second pressure compensating valve 10 is pressure-compensated by its own load pressure P2, thereby increasing the area of the opening thereof and starting the turning motor by the load pressure of the boom.
- the second pressure compensating valve 10 is pressure-compensated by a higher load pressure, and therefore when the hydraulic actuator is subjected to heavy load while excavating the earth by turning the upper turning body and contacting one side surface of the bucket with one side surface of the hole to the digged, guick operation of the boom in the fine control zone can be prevented.
- the compensation pressure change-over valve 26 of a pilot pressure actuated type is used, however, it may be of a solenoid operated type wherein it is actuated by supplying to its solenoid electric current whose value is in proportion to the operating stroke of the operating valve.
- the compensation pressure change-over valve 36 is normally held by the resiliency of its spring at its first position I where the output pressure from the shuttle valve 30 is supplied to the spring chamber 10a of the second pressure compensating valve 10.
- the second pressure compensating valve 10 is supplied with a pilot pressure through the second circuit 8, it is changed over to its second position II where the pressure in the second circuit 8, i.e., the load pressure P2 from the second hydraulic actuator 6 is supplied to the spring chamber 10a of the second pressure compensating valve 10.
- the above-mentioned compensation pressure change-over valve 36 has a pilot circuit 32 which is connected through a shuttle valve 33 with a pilot circuit 34 for changing over the first operating valve 3.
- the pilot circuit 32 is provided with a change-over valve 35.
- the above-mentioned change-over valve 35 is normally held by the resiliency of its spring at its closed position III where the pilot circuit 32 is connected with the fluid tank or reservoir.
- the change-over valve 35 receives a pilot pressure, it is changed over to its open position IV where the pilot circuit 32 is connected with the shuttle valve 33.
- the pilot pressure receiving portion 35a of the change-over valve 35 is supplied with a pilot pressure for changing over the second operating valve 4, whose valve is proportional to the operating stroke of the change-over lever.
- the pilot pressure will reach the maximum value when the change-over lever is operated for the full stroke to change over the second operating valve 4 for the full stroke.
- the arrangement is made such that when the change-over valve 35 receives the maximum value it is changed over to the open position IV against the resilient force of the spring 35b.
- the pilot pressure for changing over the second operating valve 4 is supplied to the pilot pressure receiving portion 35a of the change-over valve 35 so as to change over the second operating valve 4, and when the pilot pressure reaches the maximum value the change-over valve 35 is changed over to its open position IV. Simultaneously therewith, the pilot pressure for changing over the first operating valve 3 in the pilot circuit 34 will flow through the shuttle valve 33 into the pilot circuit 32. The pilot pressure is supplied through the change-over valve 35 into the compensation pressure change-over valve 36 so as to cause the change-over valve 36 to assume its second position II.
- the load pressure P2 from the second hydraulic actuator 6 is transmitted to the spring chamber 10a of the second pressure compensating valve 10 so that no pressure compensating effect is provided, and the area of the opening thereof is increased, thereby increasing the mount of fluid supplied to the second hydraulic actuator 6 so as to increase the operating speed of the same.
- the pilot pressure for changing over the second operating valve 10 will not reach its maximum value, so that the change-over valve 35 is held by its spring 35b at its closed position III, and as a result, even if the first and second operating valves 3 and 4 are operated at the same time, the compensation pressure change-over valve 36 is held at its first position I so as to transmit the load pressure P1 from the first hydraulic actuator 5 to the spring chamber 10a of the second pressure compensating valve 10 to thereby compensate the latter.
- the second pressure compensating valve 10 is not pressure-compensated and the area of the opening thereof is increased so that no fluid under pressure is relieved from the safety valve 12 and excessive load pressure is not applied to the turning motor at the time of starting it, thereby supplying a large quantity of fluid under pressure to the boom actuating cylinder, thus increasing the upwardly moving speed of the boom and preventing the amount of upward movement of the boom from becoming insufficient.
- the second pressure compensating valve is pressure-compensated by a higher load pressure, and therefore when the hydraulic actuator is subjected to heavy load while excavating the earth by turning the upper turning body and cotacting one side surface of the bucket with one side surface of the hole to be digged out, quick operation of the boom in the fine control zone can be prevented.
- the compensation pressure change-over valve 36 and the change-over valve 35 which are of a pilot pressure actuated type, are used, however, it is needless to say that they may be of a solenoid actuated type, wherein they are actuated by supplying their solenoids with electric current whose value is proportional to the operational stroke of their respective operating valves.

The arrangement is made such that the load pressures P₁ and P₂ in the first and secondhydraulic actuators pressure compensating valves second operating valves second operating valves - In such a hydraulic circuit means, in order to prevent the load in the first
hydraulic actuator 5 at the time of starting from becoming excessive so as to prevent the load pressure at the time of starting from becoming abnormally high, thefirst circuit 7 is provided with asafety valve 12 so as to relieve the abnormally high load pressure at the tiem of starting the firsthydraulic actuator 5 to thereby set thesafety valve 12 at a pressure P₀. - Therefore, when the first and
second operating valves safety valve 12 becomes higher than the load pressure P₂ in the secondhydraulic actuator 6, and the setting pressure P₀ is applied through the shuttle valve 11 tospring chambers pressure compensating valves pressure compensating valves hydraulic pump 1 is restricted when passing through the secondpressure compensating valve 10, and at the same time relieved from thesafety valve 12 to the fluid tank, thereby reducing the amount of fluid to be supplied to the secondhydraulic actuator 6, thus reducing the operating speed of the secondhydraulic actuator 6. - In case, for example, the first
hydraulic actuator 5 serves as a turning motor for a power shovel and a secondhydraulic actuator 6 serves as a boom actuating cylinder, and a boom is moved upwards by the boom actuating cylinder while the upper turning body is being gyrated, the load pressure at the time of starting the turning motor becomes higher than the pressure P₀ at which thesafety valve 12 is set, whilst the load pressure at the time of starting the boom actuating cylinder becomes lower than the pressure P₀ at which thesafety valve 12 is set. - As a result, the area of opening of the second
pressure compensating valve 10 is restricted by the pressure P₀ at which thesafety valve 12 is set, and fluid pressure is relieved from thesafety valve 12 to the fluid tank, and in consequence the fluid under pressure to be supplied to the boom actuating cylinder is reduced, thereby reducing the operating speed of the boom actuating cylinder, which results in reduction in the upwardly moving speed of the boom, thus causing insufficiency in the amount of upward movement thereof. - The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has for its object to provide a hydraulic circuit means in which a plurality of hydraulic actuators including a hydraulic actuator of large inertia having such characteristic that the load pressure at the time of starting, i.e. , under acceleration is far higher than that at the other time, i.e., at steady state, may be operated simultaneously, being so arranged that a reduction of the speed of movement of any hydraulic actuator other than the hydraulic actuator of said characteristic is avoided.
- To achieve the above-mentioned object, according to the present invention, there is provided a hydraulic circuit means comprising: a plurality of operating valves connected to a discharge passage of a hydraulic pump, the operating valves each supplying fluid under pressure to a plurality of hydraulic actuators including a hydraulic actuator of such characteristic that the load pressure at the time of starting is far higher than that at the other time, each of the operating valves having a pressure compensating valve provided on the side of the outlet thereof, characterized in that it comprises a compensation pressure change-over valve adapted normally to supply the load pressure in a hydraulic actuator loaded with the highest load pressure to each of spring chambers of the pressure compensating valves, and, when a hydraulic actuator other than the hydraulic actuator of said characteristic is operated in the maximum range of operation, to supply the load pressure in thus operated hydraulic actuator to the spring chamber of the pressure compensating valve connected to thus operated hydraulic actuator while supplying the highest load pressure to each of the other spring chambers of the other pressure compensating valves.
- In a preferred embodiment, the compensation pressure change-over valve has a first position supplying the highest load pressure to each of spring chambers of the pressure compensating valves and a second position supplying the load pressure in the hydraulic actuator other than the hydraulic actuator of said characteristic to the spring chamber of the pressure compensating valve connected to that hydraulic actuator while supplying the highest load pressure to each of the other spring chambers of the other pressure compensating valves, and the hydraulic circuit means further comprises a means for holding the compensation change-over valve normally at the first position and changing over the compensation change-over valve to second postion when the operation valve connected to the above-mentioned hydraulic actuator is changed over for the full stroke.
- Thus, to prevent the load pressure in one of the hydraulic actuators at the time of starting it from becoming abnormally high thereby preventing fluid under pressure from relieving from the safety valve when the plurality of hydraulic actuators are operated at the same time, the pressure compensating function of one of the pressure compensating valves is enhanced temporarily by introducing the load pressure in the hydraulic actuator so as to supply a large quantity of fluid under pressure to the hydraulic actuator counnected to the pressure compensating valve so that the operating speed of the hydraulic actuator can be increased.

- Fig. 2 is a hydraulic circuit diagram showing a first embodiment of the present invention.
- Fig. 3 is a hydraulic circuit diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention.
- The present invention will now be described in detail below by way of preferred embodiments thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.
- First of all, the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. In Fig. 2, a
spring chamber 9a of a firstpressure compensating valve 9 is connected with an outlet 20a of afirst shuttle valve 20, and a first inlet 20b and a second inlet 20c of the latter are connected with afirst pilot path 21 and asecond pilot path 22, respectively. Further, thesecond pilot path 22 is connected with aspring chamber 10a of a secondpressure compensating valve 10, an outlet 23a of asecond shuttle valve 23, and a displacement controlling member la of ahydraulic pump 1, respectively. - A
first inlet 23b and asecond inlet 23c of the above-mentionedsecond shuttle valve 23 are connected with athird pilot path 24 and afourth pilot path 25, respectively. And, thethird pilot path 24 and thefirst pilot path 21 are controlled to be connected by a compensation pressure change-overvalve 26 with afirst circuit 7, and thefourth pilot path 25 is connected with asecond circuit 8. - The above-mentioned compensation pressure change-over
valve 26 has afirst position 1 where thefirst circuit 7 is connected with thethird pilot path 24, and thefirst pilot path 21 is conencted with a fluid tank or reservoir thereby transmitting a load pressure P₁ generated by a firsthydraulic actuator 5 to thesecond shuttle valve 23, and a second position II where thefirst circuit 7 is connected with thefirst pilot path 21, and thethird pilot path 24 is disconnected, thereby transmitting the load pressure P₁ from the firsthydraulic actuator 5 to thefirst shuttle valve 20. The compensation pressure change-overvalve 26 is normally held by a spring 26a at its first position I, and changed over to its second position II when its pilotpressure receiving portion 26b is supplied with a pilot pressure. The pilotpressure receiving portion 26b is supplied with a pilot pressure for changing over asecond operating valve 4. The pilot pressure for changing over thesecond operating valve 4 is proportional to the operating stroke of a change-over lever. The arrangement is made such that when the change-over lever is operated for the full stroke to change-over thesecond operating valve 4 for the full stroke, the pilot pressure will reach its maximum value so that the compensation pressure change-overvalve 26 may assume its second position II against the biasing force of the spring 26a. Thus, when the operating lever of thesecond operating valve 4 is operated for the full stroke to change-over thesecond operating valve 4 for the full stroke, the pilot pressure for changing over thesecond operating valve 4 will reach a maximum value to allow the compensation pressure change-overvalve 26 assume its second position II so that the load pressure P₁ from the firsthydraulic actuator 5 flows into through thefirst pilot path 21 into thefirst shuttle valve 20 and is compared by the latter with the load pressure P₂ from the secondhydraulic actuator 6, and as a result of the comparison, higher load pressure is transmitted to thespring chamber 9a of the firstpressure compensating valve 9. - Such being the arrangement, if the load pressure P₁ at the time of starting the first
hydraulic actuator 5 is abnormally high and the load pressure P₂ at the time of starting the secondhydraulic actuator 6 is low when the first andsecond operating valves hydraulic actuators spring chambers pressure compensating valves - Thus, since the first and second
pressure compensating valves safety valve 12 and the amount of fluid passing through the secondpressure compensating valve 10 will increase, thereby increasing the amount of fluid to be supplied to the secondhydraulic actuator 6, and hence, increasing the operating speed. - And, when the first
hydraulic actuator 5 is started and its load pressure P₁ becomes lower than the load pressure P₂ at the secondhydraulic actuator 6, the higher load pressure P₂ is supplied through thefirst shuttle valve 20 to thespring chamber 9a of the firstpressure compensating valve 9 so that the first and secondpressure compensating valves hydraulic actuator 6, thereby distributing fluid under pressure to the first and secondhyraulic actuators second operating valves - Further, when the
second operating valve 4 is not changed over for its full stroke, but changed over in a fine control zone, the pilot pressure for changing over thesecond operating valve 4 will not reach its maximum value, and the compensation pressure change-overvalve 26 is held by its spring 26a at its first position I. As a result, even if the first andsecond operating valves valve 26 is held at its first position I so that the load pressure P₁ from the firsthydraulic actuator 5 acts on thespring chamber 10a of the secondpressure compensating valve 10 the through thesecond shuttle valve 23, thereby compensating the secondpressure compensating valve 10. - Thus, when the first
hydraulic actuator 5 serves as a turning motor for a power shovel and the secondhydraulic actuator 6 serves as a boom actuating cylinder, and a boom operating valve is operated by means of a boom operating lever for its full stroke, and at the same time a turning operation valve is operated by means of a turning operation lever for its full stroke, the secondpressure compensating valve 10 is pressure-compensated by its own load pressure P₂, thereby increasing the area of the opening thereof and starting the turning motor by the load pressure of the boom. As a result, a great deal of fluid under pressure can be supplied to the boom actuating cylinder without having to relieve fluid pressure by thesafety valve 12, thereby increasing the upwardly moving speed of the boom and preventing the amount of upward movement from becoming insufficient. - Further, when the boom operating valve changed over in a fine control zone, the second
pressure compensating valve 10 is pressure-compensated by a higher load pressure, and therefore when the hydraulic actuator is subjected to heavy load while excavating the earth by turning the upper turning body and contacting one side surface of the bucket with one side surface of the hole to the digged, guick operation of the boom in the fine control zone can be prevented. - In the above-mentioned embodiment, the compensation pressure change-over
valve 26 of a pilot pressure actuated type is used, however, it may be of a solenoid operated type wherein it is actuated by supplying to its solenoid electric current whose value is in proportion to the operating stroke of the operating valve. - In the next place, the second embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Fig. 3. As shown in Fig. 3, a
circuit 31, which connects thespring chamber 10a of the secondcompressure compensating valve 10 and ashuttle valve 30, is provided with a compensation pressure change-overvalve 36. The compensation pressure change-overvalve 36 is normally held by the resiliency of its spring at its first position I where the output pressure from theshuttle valve 30 is supplied to thespring chamber 10a of the secondpressure compensating valve 10. When the secondpressure compensating valve 10 is supplied with a pilot pressure through thesecond circuit 8, it is changed over to its second position II where the pressure in thesecond circuit 8, i.e., the load pressure P₂ from the secondhydraulic actuator 6 is supplied to thespring chamber 10a of the secondpressure compensating valve 10. - The above-mentioned compensation pressure change-over
valve 36 has apilot circuit 32 which is connected through ashuttle valve 33 with apilot circuit 34 for changing over thefirst operating valve 3. Thepilot circuit 32 is provided with a change-overvalve 35. - The above-mentioned change-over
valve 35 is normally held by the resiliency of its spring at its closed position III where thepilot circuit 32 is connected with the fluid tank or reservoir. When the change-overvalve 35 receives a pilot pressure, it is changed over to its open position IV where thepilot circuit 32 is connected with theshuttle valve 33. The pilot pressure receiving portion 35a of the change-overvalve 35 is supplied with a pilot pressure for changing over thesecond operating valve 4, whose valve is proportional to the operating stroke of the change-over lever. The pilot pressure will reach the maximum value when the change-over lever is operated for the full stroke to change over thesecond operating valve 4 for the full stroke. The arrangement is made such that when the change-overvalve 35 receives the maximum value it is changed over to the open position IV against the resilient force of the spring 35b. - Such being the arrangement, when the first and
second operating valves second operating valve 4 is supplied to the pilot pressure receiving portion 35a of the change-overvalve 35 so as to change over thesecond operating valve 4, and when the pilot pressure reaches the maximum value the change-overvalve 35 is changed over to its open position IV. Simultaneously therewith, the pilot pressure for changing over thefirst operating valve 3 in thepilot circuit 34 will flow through theshuttle valve 33 into thepilot circuit 32. The pilot pressure is supplied through the change-overvalve 35 into the compensation pressure change-overvalve 36 so as to cause the change-overvalve 36 to assume its second position II. - As a result, the load pressure P₂ from the second
hydraulic actuator 6 is transmitted to thespring chamber 10a of the secondpressure compensating valve 10 so that no pressure compensating effect is provided, and the area of the opening thereof is increased, thereby increasing the mount of fluid supplied to the secondhydraulic actuator 6 so as to increase the operating speed of the same. - Further, when the
second operating valve 10 is not changed over for the full stroke, but changed over in a fine control zone, the pilot pressure for changing over thesecond operating valve 10 will not reach its maximum value, so that the change-overvalve 35 is held by its spring 35b at its closed position III, and as a result, even if the first andsecond operating valves valve 36 is held at its first position I so as to transmit the load pressure P₁ from the firsthydraulic actuator 5 to thespring chamber 10a of the secondpressure compensating valve 10 to thereby compensate the latter. - Accordingly, when the first
hydraulic actuator 5 serves as a power shovel turning motor and the secondhydraulic actuator 6 serves as a boom actuating cylinder, and the boom operating valve is operated by a boom operating valve for the full stroke, and at the same time the turning operation valve is operated by a turning operation lever for the full stroke, the secondpressure compensating valve 10 is not pressure-compensated and the area of the opening thereof is increased so that no fluid under pressure is relieved from thesafety valve 12 and excessive load pressure is not applied to the turning motor at the time of starting it, thereby supplying a large quantity of fluid under pressure to the boom actuating cylinder, thus increasing the upwardly moving speed of the boom and preventing the amount of upward movement of the boom from becoming insufficient. - Further, when the boom operating valve is changed over in a fine control zone, the second pressure compensating valve is pressure-compensated by a higher load pressure, and therefore when the hydraulic actuator is subjected to heavy load while excavating the earth by turning the upper turning body and cotacting one side surface of the bucket with one side surface of the hole to be digged out, quick operation of the boom in the fine control zone can be prevented.
- In this second embodiment, too, the compensation pressure change-over
valve 36 and the change-overvalve 35, which are of a pilot pressure actuated type, are used, however, it is needless to say that they may be of a solenoid actuated type, wherein they are actuated by supplying their solenoids with electric current whose value is proportional to the operational stroke of their respective operating valves.
