Patent number: 9810246Abstract: A hydraulic driving system includes a hydraulic cylinder with a cylinder tube and a cylinder rod, a main pump, a hydraulic-fluid path, a charge pump, a stroke position detecting unit, and a pump control unit. The hydraulic-fluid path forms a closed circuit between a main pump and the hydraulic cylinder. The cylinder rod expands or contracts depending on how hydraulic fluid is supplied and exhausted to and from first and second chambers. The charge pump replenishes hydraulic-fluid in the hydraulic-fluid path. The pump control unit performs flow-rate reduction control in which the pump control unit reduces a suction flow rate so that a suction flow rate of the main pump is equal to or less than a maximum discharge flow rate of the charge pump when the stroke position becomes closer to a stroke end of the cylinder rod than a prescribed reference position during the flow rate reduction control.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2012Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: KOMATSU LTD.Inventors: Teruo Akiyama, Noboru Iida, Kenji Oshima, Koji Saito

Patent number: 9709076Abstract: An operating state determining unit determines whether a hydraulic cylinder is in operation or not in operation. A discharge pressure reducing unit reduces the discharge pressure of a charge pump. A discharge pressure control unit controls the discharge pressure reducing unit when the hydraulic cylinder in not in operation to reduce the discharge pressure of the charge pump to a low pressure lower than a normal pressure. The normal pressure is the discharge pressure of the charge pump when the hydraulic cylinder is in operation. An accumulator is connected to a charge flowpath. A one-way valve is disposed between the accumulator and the charge pump. The one-way valve allows the flow of hydraulic fluid from the charge pump to the accumulator and prohibits the flow of hydraulic fluid from the accumulator to the charge pump.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2012Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: KOMATSU LTD.Inventors: Teruo Akiyama, Noboru Iida, Kenji Oshima, Kenji Sasano

Patent number: 9328480Abstract: In a hydraulic excavator, a hydraulic cylinder drives a boom via a hydraulic fluid discharged from a first hydraulic pump. A first hydraulic circuit connects the first hydraulic pump and the hydraulic cylinder and forms a closed circuit therebetween. A hydraulic motor rotates a revolving upper unit with hydraulic fluid discharged from a second hydraulic pump. A second hydraulic circuit independent from the first hydraulic circuit connects the second hydraulic pump and the hydraulic motor. A motor hydraulic pressure reduction unit reduces the driving hydraulic pressure of the hydraulic motor when a predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined condition is a condition in which an operation of the boom operating member to raise the boom and an operation of the rotation operating member to rotate the revolving upper unit are conducted together and an operation amount of the boom operating member is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2012Date of Patent: May 3, 2016Assignee: KOMATSU LTD.Inventors: Teruo Akiyama, Noboru Iida, Kenji Oshima, Kenji Sasano
