A control valve connects the second flowpath to the bleed-off flowpath via a throttle when an operation amount of an operating member for lowering a work implement is less than a predetermined operation amount so that a hydraulic pressure in second flowpath is maintained at less than a relief pressure. The predetermined operation amount is less than or equal to the maximum operation amount for lowering the work implement.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2013Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: KOMATSU LTD.Inventors: Teruo Akiyama, Noboru Iida, Koji Saito, Takayuki Watanabe, Kenji Sasano

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: 9695842Abstract: A hydraulic cylinder causes a work implement to be lowered due to the exhaust of hydraulic fluid from a first chamber and the supply of hydraulic fluid to a second chamber. A hydraulic fluid flowpath has a first flowpath and a second flowpath. The first flowpath connects a first pump port and the first chamber. The second flowpath connects a second pump port and the second chamber. The hydraulic fluid flowpath configures a closed circuit between a hydraulic pump and the hydraulic cylinder. A bleed-off flowpath branches off from the first flowpath. A portion of hydraulic fluid exhausted from the first chamber when lowering the work implement flows into the bleed-off flowpath.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: KOMATSU LTD.Inventors: Teruo Akiyama, Noboru Iida, Koji Saito, Takayuki Watanabe

Patent number: 9683585Abstract: A hydraulic driving system includes a hydraulic pump, a driving source, a hydraulic cylinder, a closed circuit hydraulic path between the pump and cylinder, a pump-flow-rate control unit controlling a discharge flow rate of the pump, a flow rate control valve between the pump and the cylinder in the fluid path, a directional control unit, a target flow rate setting unit and a control device. The directional control unit allows a flow of fluid from the pump to the cylinder and prohibits a flow of fluid from the cylinder to the pump when fluid is supplied from the pump to the cylinder via the flow rate control valve. The control device controls fluid flow to the cylinder with the flow rate control valve when the target flow rate is within a prescribed range, and with the pump-flow-rate control unit when the target flow rate is greater than the prescribed range.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2012Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: KOMATSU LTD.Inventors: Teruo Akiyama, Noboru Iida, Koji Saito, Takayuki Watanabe, Koji Yamashita

Patent number: 9497586Abstract: An operation for reconnecting a mobile information terminal and a base unit, which is performed when a user returns home, is made easier, and a matter that has occurred in the base unit during his absence is displayed on the mobile information terminal. The mobile information terminal enters a sleep state when receiving no signal from the base unit. When the user performs a predetermined operation, the mobile information terminal returns from the sleep state, then searches for the base unit, and displays, on a display section, information relating to the matter that has occurred during his absence, the information being transmitted from the base unit when the terminal is reconnected to the base unit. Accordingly, the user can know, through a simple operation, the record of an incoming call received through a wired network, or an answering machine message that has occurred during his absence from the base unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryutan Akizuki, Noboru Iida, Yutaka Ikeda
