- the hydraulic oil from the bleed-off flow path 37 cannot be reused in the hydraulic pumps 12 and 13. For this reason, it is necessary to enlarge the charge pump 28. Therefore, the bleed-off flow path 37 is preferably connected to the charge circuit 35.
- the pump controller 24 performs normal control and minute speed control, but these controls may be omitted.
- the minute speed control may be omitted.
- the predetermined operation amount A6 is a value smaller than 100%, but the predetermined operation amount A6 may be 100%.
- the hydraulic drive system which can adjust the position of a working machine easily to desired height can be provided.
Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明の第1実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムが搭載された油圧ショベル100の斜視図である。油圧ショベル100は、車両本体1と作業機2とを有する。車両本体1は、上部旋回体3と運転室4と下部車体5とを有する。上部旋回体3は、下部車体5上に載置されている。上部旋回体3は、下部車体5に対して旋回可能に設けられる。上部旋回体3は、後述するエンジンや油圧ポンプなどの装置を収容している。運転室4は上部旋回体3の前部に載置されている。運転室4内には、後述する操作装置が配置される。下部車体5は履帯5a,5bを有しており、履帯5a,5bが回転することにより油圧ショベル100が走行する。
本発明の第2実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムを図5に示す。第2実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムでは、制御弁16は、第3ブリードオフポート16iを有する。第3ブリードオフポート16iは、第3方向制御部48を介して、第2ポンプ流路34に接続されている。第3方向制御部48は、第2ポンプ流路34から第3ブリードオフポート16iへの作動油の流れを許容し、第3ブリードオフポート16iから第2ポンプ流路34への作動油の流れを禁止する。
本発明の第3実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムを図6に示す。第3実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムでは、第1実施形態の油圧駆動システムにおいて第2油圧ポンプ13が省略されている。従って、メインポンプ10は、1つの油圧ポンプ(第1油圧ポンプ12)によって構成されている。また、第3実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムは、シャトル弁51を備えている。
本発明の第4実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムを図7に示す。第4実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムでは、第2実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムにおいて、第3実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムと同様に、メインポンプ10が、1つの油圧ポンプ(第1油圧ポンプ12)によって構成されている。また、第4実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムは、第3実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムと同様に、シャトル弁51を備えている。他の構成については、第2実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムと同様である。
ポンプコントローラ24は、通常制御において、ポンプ吸収トルク特性に基づいて第1油圧ポンプ12の吸収トルクと第2油圧ポンプ13の吸収トルクが制御されるように、第1油圧ポンプ12と第2油圧ポンプ13とへの指令容量を制御する。しかし、ポンプコントローラ24は、ブーム下げ操作量が所定操作量A6より小さいときには、第2ポンプ流路34からブリードオフされる作動油の流量に相当する容量を、第2油圧ポンプ13への指令容量から低減させてもよい。図8は、第5実施形態に係る油圧駆動システムにおける第2油圧ポンプ13への指令容量の制御の処理を示すフローチャートである。
