  • the control signal is applied to a pressure receiving part of a spool of the control valve unit. That is, when the operator manipulates the joystick, the spool of the control valve unit is moved corresponding to the manipulation of the joystick, and as a result, the high-pressure hydraulic oil supplied to the main control valve is provided to the actuator.
  • the actuator is operated by the provided hydraulic oil, and performs desired work.

  • the traveling mode puts priority on traveling, and a traveling motor is mainly operated in the traveling mode.
  • the first and second main pumps and the sub-pump are operated, and the hydraulic oil discharged from the second main pump is input to the traveling control valve unit. Since the second main pump and the traveling control valve unit are connected to each other in the general hydraulic system for construction machinery, there is a problem in that in a case in which the working mode is selected and the construction machine travels, the hydraulic oil discharged from the first main pump is not utilized to allow the construction machine to travel, but immediately discharged.
  • the engine in order to sufficiently supply the hydraulic oil to the traveling motor when the construction machine travels, the engine is sometimes operated at a higher rotational speed (rpm) of the engine, for example, 2,000 rpm than in the working mode. That is, the rotational speed of the engine in the traveling mode is relatively high in comparison with the working mode in which the rotational speed of the engine is set to 1,500 rpm to 1,800 rpm. Therefore, in the related art, an engine with high engine output, which may be operated at a high rotational speed, needs to be selected to satisfy traveling performance. Therefore, there is a problem in that when the engine is operated, a loss is increased, and fuel efficiency deteriorates.

  • the traveling motor when the hydraulic oil discharged from the first main pump merges with the hydraulic oil discharged from the second main pump, an excessive amount of hydraulic oil may be supplied to the traveling motor. That is, the construction machine may travel at a speed that is higher than a traveling speed designed by a manufacturer of the construction machine, thereby jeopardizing traveling safety. In addition, when an excessive amount of hydraulic oil is provided to the traveling motor, there may be a problem in view of durability of the traveling system.

  • the third hydraulic line 23 connects the sub-pump 70 and a pressure receiving part of the second control valve unit 52'.
  • the first control valve unit 51' disconnects the pressure receiving part of the second control valve unit 52' from the sub-pump 70.
  • the first control valve unit 51' connects the pressure receiving part of the second control valve unit 52' and the sub-pump 70. That is, when the first control valve unit 51' is opened, the first control valve unit 51' allows the pilot hydraulic oil to pass through the first control valve unit 51', and the pilot hydraulic oil is applied to the pressure receiving part of the second control valve unit 52'.
  • the fourth hydraulic line 24 connects the second control valve unit 52' and the second hydraulic line 22.
  • the second control valve unit 52' is operated by the pilot hydraulic oil supplied via the first control valve unit 51'. That is, when the pilot hydraulic oil is not applied to the pressure receiving part of the second control valve unit 52', the hydraulic oil discharged from the first main pump 11 flows toward the first relief valve 41 along the first hydraulic line 21. On the contrary, when the pilot hydraulic oil is applied to the pressure receiving part of the second control valve unit 52', a flow path from the first hydraulic line 21 to the main control valve 30 is blocked, and the hydraulic oil discharged from the first main pump 11 merges with the second hydraulic line 22 through the fourth hydraulic line 24.
  • the fifth hydraulic line 95 is connected to the pilot hydraulic oil discharge line 90.
  • the third control valve unit 53' is connected to the fifth hydraulic line 95, and the sixth hydraulic line 96 is connected to the third control valve unit 53'.
  • the third control valve unit 53' reduces pressure of the pilot hydraulic oil supplied through the fifth hydraulic line 95, and outputs the pilot hydraulic oil.
  • the third control valve unit 53' may be operated by a second current signal.
  • the third control valve unit 53' may be an electronic proportional pressure reducing valve.
  • the hydraulic oil output from the third control valve unit 53' is input to the shuttle valve 60' through the sixth hydraulic line 96.
  • the third control valve unit 53' may reduce the pressure of the output hydraulic oil.
  • the third control valve unit 53' may reduce the pressure of the output hydraulic oil in proportion to a difference between the pump pressure of the pump, which exceeds the predetermined pressure, and the predetermined pressure.
  • the first hydraulic line 21 and the sixth hydraulic line 96 are input to an input port of the shuttle valve 60'.
  • An output port of the shuttle valve 60' may be connected with the first regulator 13.
  • the hydraulic oil output from the shuttle valve 60' is applied to the first regulator 13.
  • the first current signal is not applied to the first control valve unit 51'. Therefore, a position of the first control valve unit 51' is not switched. Accordingly, the pilot hydraulic oil is blocked by the first control valve unit 51', and is not applied to the pressure receiving part of the second control valve unit 52', such that the second control valve unit 52' is not operated. Therefore, the hydraulic oil discharged from the first main pump 11 flows toward the first relief valve 41 via the first hydraulic line 21. When pressure formed in the first hydraulic line 21 is higher than the relief pressure, the first relief valve 41 is opened.
  • the hydraulic oil flowing along the first hydraulic line 21 is supplied to the shuttle valve 60'.
  • the pressure formed in the first hydraulic line 21 and the pressure formed in the sixth hydraulic line 96 compete.
  • the pressure of the first hydraulic line 21 is equal to or higher than the pressure of the sixth hydraulic line 96. Therefore, the pressure of the first hydraulic line 21 is selected and output between the pressure of the first hydraulic line 21 and the pressure of the sixth hydraulic line 96, which are applied to the shuttle valve 60'.
  • the traveling mode may be selected by the operator.
  • the first current signal is input to the first control valve unit 51'. Therefore, the position of the first control valve unit 51' is switched, such that the pilot hydraulic oil discharged from the sub-pump 70 is supplied to the pressure receiving part of the second control valve unit 52'.
  • the second control valve unit 52' is switched by the pilot hydraulic oil applied to the pressure receiving part. Therefore, a flow path from the first hydraulic line 21 to the main control valve 30 is blocked, and the first hydraulic line 21 is connected with the fourth hydraulic line 24, such that the hydraulic oil discharged from the first main pump 11 merges with the second hydraulic line 22 through the fourth hydraulic line 24. Accordingly, a larger amount of hydraulic oil may be provided to the traveling motor 80, thereby improving traveling performance.
  • the pressure of the first hydraulic line 21 and the pressure of the sixth hydraulic line 96 compete in the shuttle valve 60'.
  • the first hydraulic line 21 is blocked by the second control valve unit 52', pressure is not formed or very low pressure is formed at the downstream side of the first hydraulic line 21.
  • pressure of the pilot hydraulic oil is formed in the sixth hydraulic line 96. Therefore, in the case of the traveling mode, the pressure of the sixth hydraulic line 96 is output through the shuttle valve 60'.
  • the pressure of the sixth hydraulic line 96 which is output from the shuttle valve 60', is applied to the first regulator 13.
  • the first control valve unit 51' is controlled by a current signal, and the pressure of the pilot hydraulic oil is applied to the first regulator 13 even if any unknown error occurs in the first control valve unit 51'. Therefore, a discharge flow rate of the first main pump 11 may be maintained at a minimum level regardless of an abnormality in the first control valve unit 51'.
  • the pump pressure of the first main pump 11 or the second main pump 12 is increased.
  • the pump pressure of the first main pump 11 may be detected as a ps1 pressure value by the first pressure sensor 15, and the pump pressure of the second main pump 12 may be detected as a ps2 pressure value by the second pressure sensor 16.
  • the second current signal is applied to the third control valve unit 53' from the control unit.
  • the third control valve 53' is controlled by a current signal, and the pressure of the pilot hydraulic oil supplied through the fifth hydraulic line 95 may not be reduced by the third control valve 53' when any unknown error occurs in the third control valve 53'. Even in this case, because the pressure of the pilot hydraulic oil is applied to the first regulator 13, a discharge flow rate of the first main pump 11 is minimized. Therefore, a traveling speed of the construction machine is prevented from being abnormally and excessively increased, thereby improving traveling stability.
  • the construction machine comprising a hydraulic system according to the present disclosure may be used to improve traveling performance of the construction machine.
