Definitions

  • Cohen Attorney-Beveridge & De Grandi ABSTRACT A hydraulic system including a hydraulic cylinder operated by a pressure-actuated servo-controlled operating valve and a crossover valve to interconnect the fluid lines leading to the hydraulic cylinder operated by an electrically controlled valve interposed in a pressure line leading to the operating valve.
  • This invention relates to excavating and like machines having a boom, a hydraulic power unit-for raising and lowering the boom, an operating valve for controlling the supply of pressure medium to the hydraulic power unit of the boom, and a servo circuit including an operating lever for adjusting the operating valve.
  • a valve mechanism is connected in the servo line to the operating valve of the hydraulic power unit of the boom and that said valve mechanism is preferably adjustable by means of an electric switch into either of two positions, and in one of said two positions the operating valve of the hydraulic power unit of the boom is directly operable by means of the operating lever while in the other of said two positions the operating valve of the hydraulic power unit of the boom is directly operable by means of the operating lever when said lever is brought into position for raising of the boom, but a further valve is connected when the operating lever is brought into position for lowering of the boom and a given minimum pressure has'been attained, said valve being adapted to short circuit the operating lines of the hydraulic power unit of the boom so that the boom with ancillary parts will bear against the base under its own weight.
  • the circuitry illustrated in the drawing is adapted for use in a conventional hydraulically operated excavating machine having a subframe, a superstructure arranged for rotation on the subframe, a boom pivoted to the superstructure, and a bucket arm with bucket arranged on the boom.
  • a hydraulic power unit is arranged between the superstructure and boom of the excavating machine, and upon extension and shortening the hydraulic power unit respectively raises and lowers the boom.
  • the hydraulic power unit 10 is connected over lines 11 to a main directional valve 12.
  • the valve 12 is of the conventional type and can occupy three different main positions as well as intermediate positions. It is connected to a main pump 13 and a tank of pressure medium 14.
  • a servo circuit including a servo pump 15, a tank 16 and an operating lever 17 by which either side of the main valve 12 can be connected to the servo pump for moving the valve member of the main valve 12 in the desired direction.
  • the arrangement as hitherto described is conventional in excavating machines.
  • a directional valve 18 is connected to one of the servo lines leading to the operating valve 12, more particularly the line which is connected to the servo pump upon lowering of the boom.
  • the valve 18 is electrically operable by means of a switch 19 and can occupy two different positions. In the position illustrated in which the switch 19 is not cut in, the servo pressure medium is led directly to the main operating valve 12, as will appear from the drawing. When the switch 19 is cut in, however, the servo pressure medium is led to a directional valve 20 which is hereinafter termed floating position valve. This valve 20 is so loaded that it is actuated only when the servo pressure has reached a predetermined minimum pressure, for instance 40-50 kp/sq.cm.
  • valve 20 When this pressure is reached the piston in said valve 20 is moved from the position shown in the drawing so that the two lines 11 are connected to one another and also to the tank 14. When the directional valve 18 occupies the position shown in the drawing it will be seen that the valve 20 is connected to the tank 14.
  • the boom is operated by the illustrated arrangement in the following way.
  • the operating lever 17 Upon raising of the boom the operating lever 17 is moved to the right, causing servo pressure medium to flow from the servo pump to the upper end of the valve l2 which is thus moved downwards so that pressure medium flows from the main pump through the valve 12 and one line 11 to the hydraulic power unit 10.
  • the operating lever 17 Upon lowering of the boom, on the other hand, the operating lever 17 is moved to the left so that servo pressure medium flows to the lower end of the valve 12, causing pressure medium from the main pump to be supplied to the hydraulic power unit 10 through the other line 11.
  • a hydraulic cylinder adapted to be connected to a boom, a source of pressure fluid, a pressureactuated servo-controlled operating valve operable to selectively direct pressure fluid through a first hydraulic line to one end of the cylinder to raise the boom and through a second hydraulic line to the other end of the cylinder to lower the boom, and a servomechanism for actuating the operating valve, said servomechanism including a manually operated servo valve for selectively directing fluid under pressure through a first conduit connected to the operating valve to condition the operating valve to raise the boom and a second conduit connected to the operating valve to conditionthe operating valve to lower the boom, the improvement comprising, crossover conduit means connecting said first and said second hydraulic lines, pressure-actuated crossover valve means connected in said crossover conduit, and selectively operable valve means connected in said second conduit and movable between a normal position in which pressure fluid in said second conduit is directed to said operating valve to condition said operating valve to lower the boom, and a crossover position directing fluid in
  • said selectively operable valve means is an electrically controlled two-position valve.
  • a hydraulic cylinder adapted to be connected to a boom, a source of fluid pressure, and a hydraulic control system for directing fluid under pressure to said cylinder for raising and lowering the boom
  • said hydraulic control system comprises, in combination, a pressure-actuated servo-controlled operating valve operable to selectively direct pressure fluid through a first hydraulic line to one end of the hydraulic cylinder to raise the boom and through a second hydraulic line to the other end of the hydraulic cylinder to lower the boom, a servomechanism for actuating the operating valve, said servomechanism including a manually operated servo valve for selectively directing fluid under pressure through a first conduit connected to the operating valve to condition the operating valve to raise the boom and a second
