このものにおいて、 ブーム用操作レバ一 1 8を下降側に操作すると、 パイロヅ トバルブ 1 7から下降側パイロヅトライン Fに出力されるパイロヅト圧により第 一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4および再生用バルブ 1 9が切換る。 これにより、 第一 油圧ポンプ 1 1からの圧油が第一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4を介してブームシリン ダ 8の口ッド側油室 8 bに供給される一方、 へ、 j、 ド側油室 8 aからの排出油は、 第一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4を介して油タンク 1 3に排出されると共に、 再生用 バルブ 1 9、 チェック弁 2 1を介してロヅド側油室 8 bに供給されるようになつ ている。 つまり、 ブームの下降時において、 へヅド側油室 8 aの圧力がロッド側 油室 8 bの圧力よりも高圧のあいだは、 へッド側油室 8 aからの排出油を再生油 としてロッド側油室 8 bに供給できるようになつており、 これによりロッド側油 室 8 bには、 前記第一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4から供給される第一油圧ポンプ 1 1の圧油に加えて再生油が供給されることになつて、 口ヅド側油室 8 bが減圧状 態になることなくブームシリンダ 8の作動速度を速くすることができる。 また、 第一油圧ポンプ 1 1を圧油供給源とする他の油圧ァクチユエ一夕 (例えばバケツ トシリンダ) とブーム下降との複合動作時に、 再生油によって得られた余剰のポ ンプ流量を他の油圧ァクチユエ一夕に供給できるから、 複合動作時における他の 油圧ァクチユエ一夕の作業速度の低下を抑えることができ、 而して作業効率の向 上に貢献できるようになつている。 ところで、 前記従来のものにおいて、 作業効率をできるだけ向上させるため、 シリンダへヅド側油室からロヅド側油室への再生油量を多くして、 シリンダ速度 が速くなるように設定しているが、 このように設定すると、 微操作を必要とする 作業を行う場合やオペレータが初心者である場合、 速度が速すぎて操作し難いと いう問題がある。 これに対し、 微操作や初心者が操作し易いように再生油量を少 なぐする設定にすると、 再生用回路を設けた効果が薄くなつて、 作業効率が低下 してしまうという問題があり、 ここに本発明が解決しょうとする課題があつた。 さらに、 前記ブーム、 スティック、 作業用アタッチメント等からなるフロント アタッチメントを備えた作業機械において、 例えば、 パケットを地面に沿って前 後方向に移動させて平坦地に転がる岩の除去作業を行うような場合には、 バケツ
トの先端で略水平の軌跡を描く必要があるので、 スティヅクの操作の他にブーム の操作を余儀なくされる。 また、 ブレーカを用いて碎石作業を行う場合には、 ブ —ムを下降側に操作してブレーカを岩に押し付け、 常にブレーカに適切な推力が かかるようにして作業する必要がある。 さらにまた、 クラムシェルを用いて物を すくい上げる作業を行う場合には、 クラムシヱルが物に接触したことを認識して ブーム下降の操作を停止する必要があるが、 これらパケット、 ブレーカ、 クラム シェルによる作業は、 ブーム操作に常に細心の注意を払わなければならず、 操作 が煩雑であってォペレ一夕の疲労度が増加するという問題がある。 さらに、 ブー ム操作に伴いブームシリンダに圧油が供給されるため、 燃料消費量が多くなつて 燃費性に劣るという解決すべき課題もあった。 発明の開示 That is, in FIG. 3, 8 is a cylinder cylinder, 11 and 12 are first and second hydraulic pumps, 13 is an oil tank, and 14 is a hydraulic cylinder with the first hydraulic pump 11 as a hydraulic oil supply source. —Control valve for the first boom that controls the supply and discharge of pressurized oil to the boom cylinder 8, and 15 is the control for the second boom that controls the supply of pressurized oil to the boom cylinder 8 using the second hydraulic pump 12 as the supply source of pressurized oil. Valves, 16 are control valves for other hydraulic actuators such as bucket cylinders installed on hydraulic excavators, and 17 is a pilot line E on the ascending and descending sides based on the operation of the operating lever 18 for the boom. This is a pilot valve that outputs the pilot pressure to F. A is a head line connecting the first boom control valve 14 and the second boom control valve 15 with the head oil chamber 8a of the boom cylinder 8, and B is a first boom. A rod-side line connecting the control valve 14 to the head-side oil chamber 8b of the cylinder cylinder 8, and D is a regeneration line that connects the head-side line A and the rod-side line B. Ah, the reproduction line! Is provided with a regeneration valve 19 and a check valve 21. In this case, when the operation lever 18 for the boom is operated to the lower side, the control valve 14 for the first boom and the valve 19 for regeneration are switched by the pilot pressure output from the pilot valve 17 to the lower pilot line F. You. As a result, the pressure oil from the first hydraulic pump 11 is supplied to the boom cylinder 8 via the first boom control valve 14 to the mouth-side oil chamber 8 b of the boom cylinder 8. The oil discharged from the oil chamber 8a is discharged to the oil tank 13 via the first boom control valve 14 and the load side oil chamber 8b via the regeneration valve 19 and the check valve 21. It is being supplied to In other words, when the pressure in the head-side oil chamber 8a is higher than the pressure in the rod-side oil chamber 8b when the boom is lowered, the oil discharged from the head-side oil chamber 8a is used as reclaimed oil. The rod-side oil chamber 8b can be supplied to the rod-side oil chamber 8b in addition to the pressure oil of the first hydraulic pump 11 supplied from the first boom control valve 14. As a result, the operation speed of the boom cylinder 8 can be increased without the pressure side oil chamber 8b being in a reduced pressure state. In addition, during a combined operation of another hydraulic actuator (eg, a bucket cylinder) using the first hydraulic pump 11 as a hydraulic oil supply source and a boom lowering operation, the excess pump flow obtained by the regenerated oil is used for another hydraulic pump. Since the supply can be performed overnight, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the operating speed of the other hydraulic actuators during the combined operation, thereby contributing to the improvement of the working efficiency. By the way, in the prior art, in order to improve the working efficiency as much as possible, the amount of the regenerated oil from the cylinder side oil chamber to the cylinder side oil chamber is increased so that the cylinder speed is increased. However, with this setting, there is a problem that the speed is too fast to operate when performing a work requiring fine operation or when the operator is a beginner. On the other hand, if the amount of regenerated oil is set to be small so that it can be easily operated by a fine operation or a beginner, there is a problem that the effect of providing the regenerating circuit is reduced and the working efficiency is reduced. There is a problem to be solved by the present invention. Further, in a working machine equipped with a front attachment including the boom, stick, work attachment, and the like, for example, in a case where a packet is moved back and forth along the ground to remove rocks that roll on a flat ground. There is a bucket Since it is necessary to draw a substantially horizontal trajectory at the tip of the boat, the boom must be operated in addition to the stick operation. In addition, when performing crushed stone work using a breaker, it is necessary to operate the boom down and press the breaker against the rock so that the breaker always receives appropriate thrust. In addition, when scooping up an object using the clamshell, it is necessary to recognize that the clamshell has come into contact with the object and stop the operation of lowering the boom. However, there is a problem in that the boom operation always requires careful attention, the operation is complicated, and the fatigue level of the operation increases. Further, there is another problem to be solved in that the pressurized oil is supplied to the boom cylinder during the boom operation, so that the fuel consumption increases and the fuel efficiency is poor.

However, when the pilot pressure is input to the rising pilot port 14a, it is displaced to the rising position X and the hydraulic oil from the first hydraulic pump 11 passes through the head side line A. The supply valve path 14c for supplying to the head-side oil chamber 8a of the boom cylinder 8 is opened, and the oil discharged from the rod-side oil chamber 8b is supplied to the oil via the rod-side line B. Tank 1 The discharge valve channel 1 4 d for flowing to 3 is opened. Further, the control valve 14 for the first boom is displaced to the lower position Y by the input of the pie port pressure to the lower pilot port 14 b, and the pressure from the first hydraulic pump 11 is changed. Open the supply valve line 14e for supplying oil to the load side oil chamber 8b via the load side line B, and open the head side oil chamber 8a to the head side line. It is configured to open a discharge valve path 14 f for flowing the oil discharged to A to the oil tank 13 through a restrictor 14 g. Here, the oil from the head side oil chamber 8a of the first boom control valve 14 at the descending side position Y to the oil tank 13 is discharged from the throttle provided in the discharge valve path 14f. This is performed in a state where the flow rate is adjusted by 14 g, but the oil discharge flow rate of the discharge valve path 14 f is set to a flow rate necessary to obtain a slow boom lowering speed suitable for performing a fine operation. ing.
一方、 前記第二ブーム用制御バルブ 1 5は、 上昇側、 下降側のパイロットポー ト 1 5 a、 1 5 bを備え、 これらパイロットポート 1 5 a、 1 5 bに入力される パイ口ット圧により後述の供給用、 排出用弁路 1 5 c、 1 5 dの開度量が調節さ れるスプール弁で構成されている。 つまり第二ブーム用制御バルブ 1 5は、 両パ ィロットポート 1 5 a、 1 5 bにパイロヅ ト圧が入力されていない状態では、 中 立位置 Nに位置していてブームシリンダ 8に対する圧油供給排出を行わないが、 上昇側パイロットポート 1 5 aにパイロット圧が入力されることにより上昇側位 置 Xに変位して供給用弁路 1 5 cを開くようになつており、 これにより第二油圧 ポンプ 1 2からの圧油がへヅド側ライン Aを経由してブームシリンダ 8のへヅ ド 側油室 8 aに供給されるようになっている。 また第二ブーム用制御パルプ 1 5は 、 下降^!パイロヅトポート 1 5 bにパイロット圧が入力されることにより下降側 位置 Yに変位して排出用弁路 1 5 dを開くようになつており、 これによりへヅ ド 側油室 8 aからの排出油がへッド側ライン Aを経由して、 排出用弁路 1 5 dに設 けられた絞り 1 5 eを介して油タンク 1 3に流れるように構成されている。 さらに、 前 3第 2図において、 1 7はブーム用のパイロヅ トバルブであって、 このものは、 上昇側パイ口ヅ トバルブ 1 7 Aと下降側パイ口ヅ トバルブ 1 7 Bと から構成されているが、 これら上昇側、 下降側のパイロットバルブ 1 7 A、 1 7 Bは、 ブーム用操作レバー 1 8をブーム上昇側、 下降側に操作することに基づき
、 該操作量に対応するパイロット圧をそれそれ出力する。 そして、 上昇側パイ口 ットバルブ 1 7 Aから出力されたパイロット圧は、 上昇側パイロットライン Eを 経由して第一、 第二ブーム用制御パルプ 1 4、 1 5の上昇側パイロットポート 1 4 a、 1 5 aに入力される。 また、 下降側パイロットバルブ 1 7 Bから出力され たパイロット圧は、 下降側パイロットライン Fを経由して後述する再生用バルブ 1 9のパイロヅトポート 1 9 aに入力されると共に、 モ一ド切換用バルブ 2 0に 供給される。 On the other hand, the second boom control valve 15 has ascending and descending pilot ports 15a and 15b, and a pilot port input to these pilot ports 15a and 15b. It is composed of a spool valve whose opening degree of supply and discharge valve paths 15c and 15d described later is adjusted by pressure. In other words, the control valve 15 for the second boom is located at the neutral position N when the pilot pressure is not input to both the pilot ports 15a and 15b, and the hydraulic oil for the boom cylinder 8 is No supply / discharge is performed, but when the pilot pressure is input to the rising pilot port 15a, it is displaced to the rising position X to open the supply valve passage 15c. The hydraulic oil from the second hydraulic pump 12 is supplied to the head side oil chamber 8a of the boom cylinder 8 via the head side line A. Further, the control pulp 15 for the second boom is displaced to the descending position Y by opening the pilot port 15b when the pilot pressure is input to the descending ^! Pilot port 15b, so that the discharge valve path 15d is opened. As a result, the oil discharged from the head-side oil chamber 8a passes through the head-side line A to the oil tank 13 through the throttle 15e provided in the discharge valve path 15d. It is configured to flow. Further, in FIG. 3 shown in FIG. 3, reference numeral 17 denotes a boom pilot valve, which is composed of an ascending-side pilot port valve 17 A and a descending-side pilot port valve 17 B. However, these ascending and descending pilot valves 17 A and 17 B are operated by operating the boom operation lever 18 to the boom ascending and descending sides. The pilot pressure corresponding to the manipulated variable is output. The pilot pressure output from the ascending pilot valve 17 A passes through the ascending pilot line E, and the ascending pilot port 14 a of the first and second boom control pulp 14, 15, Entered in 15 a. The pilot pressure output from the descending pilot valve 17B is input to a pilot port 19a of a regeneration valve 19 to be described later via a descending pilot line F, and a mode switching valve is provided. Supplied to 20.
前記再生用バルブ 1 9は、 再生用ライン Dに配されているが、 このものはパイ ロヅトポート 1 9 aを備えたスプール弁で構成されている。 そして該再生用バル ブ 1 9は、 パイロヅトポート 1 9 aにパイロヅト圧が入力されていない状態では 、 再生用ライン Dを閉鎖する閉鎖位置 Xに位置しているが、 パイロットポート 1 9 aにパイロット圧が入力されることにより、 再生用ライン Dを絞り 1 9 bを介 して開く開放位置 Yに切換るように構成されている。 さらに、 2 1は再生用ライ ン Dに酉 3設されるチェック弁であって、 該チェヅク弁 2 1は、 へヅド側ライン A の圧力が口ッド側ライン Bよりも高圧のあいだはへッド側ライン Aから口ッド側 ライン Bへの油の流れを許容するが、 逆方向の流れは阻止するようになつている 。 而して、 前記再生用バルブ 1 9が開放位置 Yに位置し、 かつへヅド側ライン A の圧力がロヅド側ライン; Bよりも高圧のあいだは、 へヅド側ライン Aの油が再生 用ライン Dを経由してロヅト側ライン Bに流れるようになつている。 The regeneration valve 19 is disposed on the regeneration line D, and is constituted by a spool valve having a pilot port 19a. When the pilot pressure is not input to the pilot port 19a, the regeneration valve 19 is located at the closed position X for closing the regeneration line D, but the pilot pressure is applied to the pilot port 19a. Is input, the reproduction line D is switched to the open position Y that opens through the aperture 19b. Further, reference numeral 21 denotes a check valve provided on the regeneration line D. The check valve 21 operates when the pressure of the head side line A is higher than that of the mouth side line B. The oil flow from the head side line A to the mouth side line B is allowed, but the flow in the opposite direction is prevented.

尚、 第 2図中、 2 3はロッド側ライン Bから油タンク 1 3に至るリリーフ油路 に設けられるラインリリーフ弁である。 In FIG. 2, reference numeral 23 denotes a line relief valve provided in a relief oil passage extending from the rod side line B to the oil tank 13.
叙述の如く構成されたものにおいて、 プ一ム 5を上昇させる場合、 ブーム用操 作レバ一 1 8を上昇側に操作すると、 上昇側パイロヅトバルブ 1 7 Aから出力さ れたパイ口ヅト圧が、 第一、 第二ブ一厶用制御バルブ 1 4、 1 5の上昇側パイ口 ヅトポート 1 4 a、 1 5 aに入力されて、 第一、 第二ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4、 1 5を上昇側位置 Xに切換える。 これにより、 第一、 第二の両方の油圧ポンプ 1 1、 1 2の圧油が、 第一、 第二ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4、 1 5を経由してブーム シリンダ 8のへヅド側油室 8 aに供給されることになつて、 フロントアタッチメ ント 4の重量に抗するブーム 5の上昇作動を、 力強く行うことができる。 In the configuration described above, when raising the pump 5 and operating the boom operation lever 18 to the rising side, the pie port pressure output from the rising side pilot valve 17 A will be reduced. , First and second boom control valves 14 and 15 ascending side pipe port Input to ports 14a and 15a, first and second boom control valves 14 and 15 Switch to ascending position X. As a result, the pressure oil of both the first and second hydraulic pumps 11 and 12 passes through the first and second boom control valves 14 and 15 to the head side oil of the boom cylinder 8. As a result of being supplied to the chamber 8a, the raising operation of the boom 5 against the weight of the front attachment 4 can be performed strongly.
一方、 ブーム 5を下降させるにあたり、 微操作を行う場合やオペレータが初心 者の場合には、 モード選択スイッチ 2 2を 「ブーム下降速度 L OW」 にセットす る。 該モード選択スィヅチ 2 2が 「ブーム下降速度 L OW」 にセヅトされている 状態では、 前述したようにモード切換用バルブ 2 0の両ソレノイド 2 0 a、 2 0 bに通電されないため、 モード切換用バルブ 2 0は中立位置 Nに位置していて、 下降側パイロヅトライン Fの圧力が第一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4の下降側パイ口 ヅトポート 1 4 bに入力されると共に、 第二ブーム用制御バルブ 1 5の下降側パ
ィロットポート 1 5 bは油タンク 1 3に導通している。 この状態でブーム用操作 レバ一 1 8を下降側に操作すると、 下降側パイロヅトバルブ 1 7 Bから出力され たパイ口ヅト圧が、 第一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4の下降側パイロットポート 1 4 bおよび再生用バルブ 1 9のパイロットポート 1 9 aに入力されて、 第一ブーム 用制御バルブ 1 4を下降側位置 Yに切換えると共に、 再生用バルブ 1 9を開放位 置 Yに切換える。 一方、 第二ブ一厶用制御バルブ 1 5は中立位置 Nに保持される 。 これにより、 第一油圧ポンプ 1 1からの圧油が、 第一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4 を経由してブ一ムシリンダ 8のロヅド側油室 8 bに供給されると共に、 へヅド側 ライン Aの圧力が口ヅド側ライン Bよりも高圧のあいだは、 へヅド側油室 8 aか らの排出油の一部が、 再生用バルブ 1 9、 チェヅク弁 2 1を介してロヅド側油室 8 bに再生油として供給される。 また、 ヘッド側油室 8 aからの排出油の残りは 、 第一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4を経由して油タンク 1 3に排出される。 On the other hand, when lowering the boom 5, when performing a fine operation or when the operator is a beginner, the mode selection switch 22 is set to “boom lowering speed L OW”. When the mode selection switch 22 is set to the “boom lowering speed L OW”, the solenoids 20 a and 20 b of the mode switching valve 20 are not energized as described above. The valve 20 is located at the neutral position N, and the pressure of the descending pilot line F is input to the descending pilot port 14 b of the control valve 14 for the first boom and the control valve 1 for the second boom. 5 descending side The pilot port 15 b communicates with the oil tank 13. In this state, operating the boom operation lever 18 to the descending side will cause the pilot port pressure output from the descending pilot valve 17 B to decrease the pilot port 1 4 b of the first boom control valve 14. And input to the pilot port 19 a of the regeneration valve 19 to switch the first boom control valve 14 to the lower position Y and to switch the regeneration valve 19 to the open position Y. On the other hand, the second bloom control valve 15 is held at the neutral position N. As a result, the pressure oil from the first hydraulic pump 11 is supplied to the load side oil chamber 8 b of the boom cylinder 8 via the first boom control valve 14, and the head side line A When the pressure of the oil is higher than that of the inlet side line B, part of the oil discharged from the head side oil chamber 8a is transferred to the load side oil via the regeneration valve 19 and the check valve 21. Room 8b is supplied as reclaimed oil. The remaining oil discharged from the head side oil chamber 8a is discharged to the oil tank 13 via the first boom control valve 14.
つまり、 「ブーム下降速度 L OW」 にセットされている状態では、 ブ一ムシリ ンダ 8のへヅド側油室 8 aから油タンク 1 3への油排出は、 第一ブーム用制御バ ルブ 1 4の排出用弁路 1 4 fを経由してのみ行われることになるが、 該排出用弁 路 1 4 fの油排出流量は、 遅いブーム下降速度が得られる流量に設定されており 、 而してブーム 5はゆっくりと下降することになつて、 微操作を行う場合やオペ レー夕が初心者の場合の操作性が向上する。 In other words, when set to the “boom lowering speed L OW”, the oil discharge from the head side oil chamber 8 a of the boom cylinder 8 to the oil tank 13 is performed by the first boom control valve 1. 4 is performed only via the discharge valve path 14f, but the oil discharge flow rate of the discharge valve path 14f is set to a flow rate at which a slow boom lowering speed is obtained. As a result, the boom 5 descends slowly, improving operability when performing a fine operation or when the operator is a beginner.
これに対し、 ブーム 5を下降させるにあたり、 作業能率を向上させたい場合や 、 掘削積込み作業のように速いブーム下降が要求される作業を行うような場合に は、 モード選択スイッチ 2 2を 「ブーム下降速度 H I GH」 にセットする。 これ により、 モード切換用バルブ 2 0の第一ソレノィド 2 0 aに通電されて、 モード 切換用バルブ 2 0は、 下降側パイロットライン Fの圧力を第一、 第二ブーム用制 御バルブ 1 4、 1 5の下降側パイロヅ トポート 1 4 b、 1 5 bに入力する第一位 置 Xに切換る。 この状態で、 ブーム用操作レバー 1 8を下降側に操作すると、 下 降側パイロットバルブ 1 7 Bから出力されたパイロット圧が、 第一、 第二ブーム 用制御バルブ 1 4、 1 5の下降側パイロットポート 1 4 b、 1 5 bおよび再生用 ノルブ 1 9のパイロヅトポート 1 9 aに入力されて、 第一、 第二ブーム用制御バ ルブ 1 4、 1 5を下降側位置 Yに切換えると共に、 再生用バルブ 1 9を開放位置
Yに切換える。 これにより、 第一油圧ポンプ 1 1からの圧油が、 第一ブーム用制 御バルブ 1 4を経由してブームシリンダ 8のロッド側油室 8 bに供給されると共 に、 へ、 J、 ド側ライン Aの圧力が口ヅド側ライン Bよりも高圧のあいだは、 へヅド 側油室 8 aからの排出油の一部が、 再生用バルブ 1 9、 チェック弁 2 1を介して 口ヅド側油室 8 bに再生油として供給される。 また、 ヘッド側油室 8 aからの排 出油の残りは、 第一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4および第二ブーム用制御バルブ 1 5 を経由して油タンク 1 3に排出される。 On the other hand, when lowering the boom 5, if it is desired to improve the work efficiency or perform a work requiring a fast boom descent such as an excavation loading operation, set the mode selection switch 22 to the “boom”. Lowering speed HI GH ”. As a result, the first solenoid 20 a of the mode switching valve 20 is energized, and the mode switching valve 20 increases the pressure of the descending pilot line F by the first and second boom control valves 14, 14. Switch to the first position X to be input to 15 descending pilot ports 14 b and 15 b of 15. In this state, when the boom operation lever 18 is operated to the lower side, the pilot pressure output from the lower / lower side pilot valve 17 B is changed to the lower side of the first and second boom control valves 14 and 15. Input to the pilot ports 14b, 15b and the pilot port 19a of the regenerating norb 19, switch the first and second boom control valves 14, 15 to the down position Y and play Valve 1 9 open position Switch to Y. Thereby, the pressure oil from the first hydraulic pump 11 is supplied to the rod-side oil chamber 8 b of the boom cylinder 8 via the first boom control valve 14, and at the same time, J, While the pressure in the head side line A is higher than the pressure in the head side line B, a part of the oil discharged from the head side oil chamber 8a passes through the regeneration valve 19 and the check valve 21. It is supplied as regenerated oil to the port side oil chamber 8b. The remaining oil discharged from the head side oil chamber 8a is discharged to the oil tank 13 via the first boom control valve 14 and the second boom control valve 15.
つまり、 「ブーム下降速度 H I G H」 にセヅ トされている状態では、 ブームシ リンダ 8のヘッド側油室 8 aから油タンク 1 3への油排出が、 第一、 第二の両方 のブーム用制御バルブ 1 4、 1 5の排出用弁路 1 4 f、 1 5 dを経由してなされ る'ことになつて、 前述した第一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4のみの場合と比べて第二 ブーム用制御バルブ 1 5の分だけ油排出量が増加し、 而してへヅド側油室 8 aか らの油排出が速やかになされることになつて、 ブーム 5の下降作動をハイスピー ドで行うことができる。 In other words, when the boom lowering speed is set to HIGH, the oil discharge from the head side oil chamber 8a of the boom cylinder 8 to the oil tank 13 is controlled by both the first and second booms. This is done via the exhaust valve passages 14f, 15d of the valves 14 and 15, so that the second boom can be used as compared with the case where only the first boom control valve 14 described above is used. The amount of oil discharge increases by the amount of the control valve 15 and the oil is quickly discharged from the head-side oil chamber 8a, so that the boom 5 is lowered at a high speed. be able to.
さらに、 バケツト 7を地面に沿って前後移動させて平坦地に転がる岩の除去作 業を行う場合や、 ブレーカによる砕石作業を行う場合、 あるいはクラムシェルで 物をすくい上げる作業を行うような場合には、 モード選択スイッチ 2 2を 「ブー ム自重降下」 にセットする。 これにより、 モード切換用バルブ 2 0の第二ソレノ イド 2 O bに通電されて、 モード切換用バルブ 2 0は、 下降側パイロヅトライン Fの圧力を第二ブーム用制御バルブ 1 5の下降側パイロットポート 1 5 bに入力 し、 かつ第一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4の下降側パイロットポート 1 4 bを油タン ク 1 3に導通させる第二位置 Yに切換わる。 この状態で、 ブーム用操作レバ一 1 8を下降側に操作すると、 下降側パイロヅトバルブ 1 7 Bから出力されたパイ口 ヅト圧が、 第二ブーム用制御バルブ 1 5の下降側パイロットポート 1 5 bおよび 再生用バルブ 1 9のパイロヅトポート 1 9 aに入力されて、 第二ブーム用制御バ ルプ 1 5を下降側位置 Yに切換えると共に、 再生用バルブ 1 9を開放位置 Yに切 換える。 一方、 第一ブーム用制御バルブ 1 4は中立位置 Nに保持される。 この状 態では、 油圧ポンプ 1 1、 1 2からブ一ムシリンダ 8の口ヅド側油室 8 bへの圧 油供給はないが、 該ロッド側油室 8 bには、 ヘッド側油室 8 aからの排出油の一
部が、 再生用バルブ 1 9、 チェヅク弁 2 1を介して口ヅド側油室 8 bに再生油と して供給される。 また、 ヘッド側油室 8 aからの排出油の残りは、 第二ブーム用 制御バルブ 1 5を経由して油タンク 1 3に流れる。 In addition, when the bucket 7 is moved back and forth along the ground to remove rocks that fall on flat ground, when performing crushing work with a breaker, or when scooping up objects with a clamshell Set the mode select switch 2 2 to “Boom self-weight descent”. As a result, the second solenoid 2 Ob of the mode switching valve 20 is energized, and the mode switching valve 20 changes the pressure of the descending pilot line F to the descending pilot port of the second boom control valve 15. Input to 15b, and switch to the second position Y that connects the lower pilot port 14b of the first boom control valve 14 to the oil tank 13. In this state, when the boom operation lever 18 is operated in the descending direction, the pilot port pressure output from the descending pilot valve 17 B is applied to the descending pilot port 15 of the second boom control valve 15. b and the pilot port 19 a of the regeneration valve 19 are input to the second boom control valve 15 to the lower position Y and the regeneration valve 19 to the open position Y. On the other hand, the first boom control valve 14 is held at the neutral position N. In this state, there is no supply of hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pumps 11 and 12 to the port-side oil chamber 8b of the cylinder cylinder 8, but the rod-side oil chamber 8b has the head-side oil chamber 8b. one of the oil discharged from a The part is supplied as regeneration oil to the port side oil chamber 8b via the regeneration valve 19 and the check valve 21. The remaining oil discharged from the head side oil chamber 8a flows into the oil tank 13 via the second boom control valve 15.
つまり、 「ブーム自重降下」 にセヅトされている状態でブーム下降側に操作す ると、 油圧ポンプ 1 1、 1 2からブ一ムシリンダ 8への圧油供給はないが、 ロヅ ド側油室 8 bには、 へ、 j、 ド側油室 8 aからの排出油が再生油として供給されると 共に、 ヘッド側油室 8 aからの排出油の残りは、 第二ブーム用制御バルブ 1 5を 絰由して油タンク 1 3に流れることになる。 そしてこの状態では、 ブーム 5は、 バケヅト 5やブレーカ 2 3、 クラムシェル等の作業用アタッチメントが地面や岩 等に接当して下降規制されるまで、 フロントアタッチメント 4の重量により自重 降下することになる。 而してバケヅト 7を地面に沿って前後移動させて平坦地に 転がる岩の除去作業を行う場合に、 ブーム操作に細心の注意を払わなくても、 ブ —ム 5が自重降下することでバケヅト 7を接地状態に保持できる。 またブレーカ 作業を行う場合に、 ブレーカは、 フロントアタッチメント 4の自重で下方に押し 付けられることになつて、 砕石作業に必要に推力を得ることができる。 さらにま たクラムシェルで物をすくい上げる作業を行う場合には、 ブーム 5は、 クラムシ エルが物に当接するまで自重降下し、 当接すると自動的に停止することになる。 この様に、 本実施の形態にあっては、 ブーム 5を下降させる場合、 モード選択 スイッチ 2 2を 「ブーム下降速度 H I G H」 にセヅトすれば、 プ一ムシリンダ 8 のへッド側油室 8 aから油タンク 1 3への油排出流量が増加してブーム 5の下降 速度が速くなり、 またモード選択スィヅチ 2 2を 「ブーム下降速度 L OW」 にセ ットすれば、 へッド側油室 8 aから油タンク 1 3への油排出流量が減少してブー ム 5の下降速度が遅くなる。 さらに、 モード選択スィッチ 2 2を 「ブーム自重降 下」 にセヅトした状態でブーム下降側に操作すれば、 ブーム 5は、 フロントァ夕 ヅチメント 4の重量により自重降下することになる。 In other words, if the boom is lowered while it is set to “Boom self-weight descent”, there is no pressure oil supply from the hydraulic pumps 11 and 12 to the boom cylinder 8, but the load side oil chamber 8b, the oil discharged from the oil chamber 8a is supplied as reclaimed oil, and the remaining oil discharged from the oil chamber 8a is supplied to the control valve 1 for the second boom. Through 5, it will flow to the oil tank 13. In this state, the boom 5 descends by its own weight due to the weight of the front attachment 4 until the work attachments such as the bucket 5, the breaker 23, and the clamshell come into contact with the ground, rocks, etc. and are restricted. Become. Thus, when the bucket 7 is moved back and forth along the ground to remove rocks that fall on a flat ground, the bucket 5 can drop by its own weight without paying careful attention to the boom operation. 7 can be kept grounded. Further, when performing the breaker work, the breaker is pressed down by the weight of the front attachment 4 so that thrust necessary for the crushing work can be obtained. Further, when performing the work of picking up an object with the clamshell, the boom 5 will descend by its own weight until the clamshell comes into contact with the object, and will automatically stop when it comes into contact. As described above, in the present embodiment, when lowering the boom 5, if the mode selection switch 22 is set to the “boom lowering speed HIGH”, the head-side oil chamber 8 a of the pump cylinder 8 is set. If the oil discharge flow from the tank to the oil tank 13 increases, the descent speed of the boom 5 increases, and if the mode selection switch 22 is set to the “boom descent speed L OW”, the oil chamber on the head side The oil discharge flow from 8a to the oil tank 13 decreases, and the lowering speed of the boom 5 decreases. Further, if the mode selection switch 22 is set to “boom self-weight lowering” and operated to the boom lowering side, the boom 5 will lower its own weight due to the weight of the front unit 4.
この結果、 ブーム 5の下降速度を、 作業内容やオペレータの技量に対応して任 意に選択でき、 また、 パケット 7による平坦地の岩の除去作業や、 ブレーカ 2 3 による砕石作業、 あるいはクラムシェルによるすくい上げ作業を行うような場合 には、 ブーム 5を自重降下させることができることになつて、 操作性、 作業性が
向上する。 さらに、 ブーム 5を自重降下させる場合には、 油圧ポンプ 1 1、 1 2 からブームシリンダ 8への圧油供給はないので、 消費燃料の軽減に寄与できると 共に、 ブーム下降と他の油圧ァクチユエ一夕との複合操作時には、 ポンプ流量が ブームシリンダ 8にとられてしまうことがないため、 複合作動時における他の油 圧ァクチユエ一夕の作動速度の低下を回避できる。 As a result, the lowering speed of the boom 5 can be arbitrarily selected according to the work content and the skill of the operator. Also, the removal work of the rock on the flat ground by the packet 7, the crushing work by the breaker 23, or the clamshell In such a case, the boom 5 can be lowered by its own weight, and the operability and workability are improved. improves. Further, when the boom 5 is lowered by its own weight, there is no supply of pressurized oil from the hydraulic pumps 11 and 12 to the boom cylinder 8, so that it is possible to contribute to the reduction of fuel consumption, as well as the boom descent and other hydraulic actuators. During the combined operation with the evening, the pump flow rate is not blocked by the boom cylinder 8, so that it is possible to avoid a reduction in the operating speed of the other hydraulic actuator during the combined operation.
しかもこのものにおいて、 前記へヅド彻 J油室 8 aから油タンク 1 3への油排出 流量の増加、 およびブーム自重降下時におけるへヅド側油室 8 aから油タンク 1 3への油排出は、 第二ブーム用制御バルブ 1 5を用いて行われることになるが、 該第二ブーム用制御バルブ 1 5は、 ブーム 5の上昇時には第二油圧ポンプ 1 2の 圧油をブ一ムシリンダへッド側油室 8 aに供給するべく作動するものであるから 、 一つのバルブで複数の機能を有することになつて、 部材の兼用化が計れ、 コス トの抑制に寄与できる。 さらに、 この第二ブーム用制御パルプ 1 5は、 入力され るパイロヅト圧により開度量調節されるスプール弁であるから、 ブーム用操作レ バ一 1 8の操作量に対応した良好な操作性を得ることができる。 産業上の利用可能性 Moreover, in this case, the oil discharge flow from the head J oil chamber 8a to the oil tank 13 increases, and the oil flows from the head side oil chamber 8a to the oil tank 13 when the boom own weight falls. The discharge is performed by using the second boom control valve 15. The second boom control valve 15 discharges the hydraulic oil of the second hydraulic pump 12 when the boom 5 is raised. Since the valve operates to supply the oil to the head-side oil chamber 8a, a single valve has a plurality of functions, so that the members can be shared and contribute to cost reduction. Further, since the control pulp 15 for the second boom is a spool valve whose opening is adjusted by the input pilot pressure, good operability corresponding to the operation amount of the operation lever 18 for the boom is obtained. be able to.
