Abstract
Description
油圧駆動装置902は、例えば可変容量形油圧ポンプからなる油圧ポンプ1と、パイロットポンプ91と、油圧ポンプ1およびパイロットポンプ91に油を供給する作動油タンク5とを備える。油圧ポンプ1およびパイロットポンプ91は、エンジン(図示せず)によって駆動される。油圧ポンプ1の傾転角は、油圧ポンプ1に付設したレギュレータによって制御される。油圧ポンプ1のレギュレータは、流量制御指令圧ポート1aを有し、流量制御指令圧ポート1aに作用する指令圧により駆動される。
油圧駆動装置902の動作の一例として、ブーム操作レバー95が操作されたときの油圧ポンプ1、ブーム方向制御弁15、およびブリードオフ弁37の動作を説明する。
コントローラ94は、ブーム操作レバー95の入力量に応じたブーム目標速度VTgtBmを算出し、ブーム目標速度VTgtBmと推定ブリードオフ流量QEstBOとを基にポンプ目標流量QTgtPmpを算出し、速度誤差ESと圧力誤差EPとに応じてポンプ目標流量QTgtPmpを補正し、補正後のポンプ目標流量QTgtPmpに応じた指令信号(ポンプ流量制御指令信号)を電磁弁93aへ出力する。電磁弁93aは、ポンプ流量制御指令信号に応じた指令圧を生成し、油圧ポンプ1の吐出流量を制御する。
コントローラ94は、ブーム操作レバー95の入力量に応じたブーム目標速度VTgtBmを算出し、ブーム目標速度VTgtBmを基にブーム目標流量QTgtBmを算出し、ブーム目標流量QTgtBmとブーム方向制御弁15の前後差圧ΔPとを基に目標メータイン開口ATgtBmを算出し、目標メータイン開口ATgtBmに応じた指令信号(ブーム方向制御弁制御指令信号)を電磁弁93b,93cへ出力する。電磁弁93b,93cは、ブーム方向制御弁制御指令信号に応じた指令圧を生成し、ブーム方向制御弁15のメータイン開口を制御する。
コントローラ94は、ブーム操作レバー95の入力量を基にブリードオフ弁37の目標開口ATgtBOを算出し、目標開口ATgtBOに応じた指令信号(ブリードオフ弁制御指令信号)を電磁弁93dへ出力する。電磁弁93dは、ブリードオフ弁制御指令信号に応じた指令圧を生成し、ブリードオフ弁37の開口を制御する。
