Patent number: 9429231Abstract: The present invention provides a flushing circuit for a hydraulic cylinder drive circuit, by which the flushing of the circuit is conducted while protecting precision apparatuses of a control valve unit, because the flushing of a reciprocating hydraulic cylinder and its drive circuit is conducted while bypassing the control valve unit. In a hydraulic oil supply/discharge circuit connecting a tank of hydraulic oil, a hydraulic pump generating pressurized hydraulic oil, and a hydraulic cylinder with one another, a control valve unit in which at least a direction switching valve is provided in the vicinity of the hydraulic pump and the oil tank and a multifunction valve having a bypass circuit in the vicinity of the hydraulic cylinder are provided, and a bypass circuit bypassing the control valve unit is provided to branch from a hydraulic oil supply/discharge circuit between the multifunction valve and the control valve unit.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2012Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: U-TEC Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yukio Uenishi

Patent number: 9416798Abstract: A composite valve is used in a hydraulic circuit. The composite valve is interposed between a stack valve and a hydraulic power supplier and between the stack valve and a multifunction valve coupled to a hydraulic device. The composite valve includes: stop valves opening/closing communication between the hydraulic power supplier and the stack valve and stop valves opening/closing communication between the stack valve and the multifunction valve; and bypass circuits respectively including stop valves opening/closing communication between the hydraulic power supplier and the multifunction valve, the bypass circuits provided closer to the hydraulic power supplier than the stop valves. This structure makes it possible to simultaneously perform various functions: repair, checking, and/or maintenance on the stack valve; flushing; and repair, checking, maintenance, and/or a trial run of the hydraulic device. The composite valve has uniform circuit configurations, which facilitates production of the valve.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: U-Tec Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yukio Uenishi, Yuji Kondo

Patent number: 8739822Abstract: An oil tank has return oil from a hydraulic circuit diffused onto a surface of oil stored in a tank body, and thereby the return oil is prevented from going deep in the oil, so that a hydraulic pump is prevented from sucking oil containing air bubbles. The oil tank includes: an intake port provided in the vicinity of a bottom of the tank body and connected to the hydraulic pump of a hydraulic circuit; and an return oil inlet connected to a return pipe of the hydraulic circuit through which the return oil enters the tank body. In the tank body, a container adapted to hold the return oil is provided. The container is configured so that the return oil inlet opens in the vicinity of the bottom of the container.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2011Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: U-Tec Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yukio Uenishi
