- 油圧アクチュエータの排出油の有する油圧エネルギーを蓄圧するアキュムレータと、少なくとも前記油圧アクチュエータを含む油圧アクチュエータの油圧供給源になる容量可変型の油圧ポンプと、前記アキュムレータの蓄圧油を油圧ポンプの吐出油に合流させる合流油路とを備えて構成される作業機械の油圧制御システムにおいて、該油圧制御システムに、前記アキュムレータから油圧ポンプの吐出油に合流させるアキュムレータ流量を制御するアキュムレータ流量制御弁と、該アキュムレータ流量制御弁および前記油圧ポンプの吐出流量を制御する制御装置とを設けると共に、該制御装置は、油圧アクチュエータ用操作具の操作量と油圧ポンプの吐出圧とに基づいて、油圧アクチュエータに供給するアクチュエータ供給流量を求めると共に、該アクチュエータ供給流量を油圧ポンプの吐出流量とアキュムレータ流量との合計流量で供給するべく、油圧ポンプの吐出流量およびアキュムレータ流量を制御することを特徴とする作業機械における油圧制御システム。
- 制御装置は、油圧アクチュエータに供給するアクチュエータ供給流量のうち、アキュムレータが分担するアキュムレータ分担割合と油圧ポンプが分担するポンプ分担割合とを設定する分担割合設定手段を備えると共に、アキュムレータ圧力検出手段により検出されるアキュムレータ圧力が、アキュムレータが圧油を放出できる圧力として予め設定される設定圧以上で、且つ、アキュムレータ圧力が油圧ポンプの吐出圧以上の場合に、アクチュエータ供給流量に前記アキュムレータ分担割合を乗じることで、アキュムレータから油圧ポンプの吐出油に合流させるアキュムレータ流量を求めることを特徴とする請求項1に記載の作業機械における油圧制御システム。
- 制御装置は、アキュムレータから油圧ポンプの吐出油に合流されるアキュムレータ流量を補償するべく、アキュムレータ圧力検出手段およびポンプ圧力検出手段により検出されるアキュムレータの圧力と油圧ポンプの吐出圧との差圧に基づいて、アキュムレータ流量制御弁の開口面積を制御することを特徴とする請求項1または2に記載の作業機械における油圧制御システム。
