  • Publication number: 20210047803
    Abstract: There is provided a hydraulic drive device for a working machine with which a number of times of maintenance can be reduced. A controller (20) opens a first on-off valve (25a), closes a second on-off valve (25b), switches a first directional switching valve (30a) to a first position (A), and switches a second directional switching valve (30b) to a third position (C), thereby pressure oil from a hydraulic pump (1a) is supplied from the first on-off valve to an actuator (5a) through the first directional switching valve. When history data of the first on-off valve is determined to satisfy a prescribed condition, the controller closes the first on-off valve, opens the second on-off valve, switches the first directional switching valve to a second position (B), and switches the second directional switching valve to a fourth position (D), thereby pressure oil from the hydraulic pump is supplied from the second on-off valve to the actuator through the second directional switching valve.

  • Patent number: 10443746
    Abstract: A main spool (24) has a throttle passage (30) that, when the main spool (24) moves to an axial other side against a first return spring (27) in a main spool insertion hole (13), communicates a pilot pressure chamber (25) with a first tank port (15) and limits a flow amount of hydraulic oil to be discharged to the first tank port (15) from the pilot pressure chamber (25). When the main spool (24) moves to the axial other side along the main spool insertion hole (13), the throttle passage (30) communicates the pilot pressure chamber (25) with the first tank port (15) before a state where a first pump port (17) is communicated with an output port (16) and a state where the output port (16) is blocked from the first tank port (15).

  • Patent number: 7712565
    Abstract: A hydro-static transmission travel system for a working machine enables the working machine to travel over a range from low speed to high speed with a simplified circuit arrangement. By referring to a machine traveling speed (vehicle speed) based on a detected signal from a rotation sensor, a controller computes respective target tilting amounts of hydraulic motors 10, 20 and controls the tilting amount for the hydraulic motors and a clutch. Depending on whether the traveling speed exceeds a setting speed as a reference boundary, the controller selectively switches over a drive mode between low-speed four-wheel drive, in which travel units 12, 22 are both driven, and high-speed two-wheel drive, in which the front-wheel side hydraulic motor 10 is controlled to zero displacement and only the rear-wheel side travel unit 22 is driven.

  • Patent number: 7175155
    Abstract: The control valve apparatus holds a seat valve member in a position seated on a valve seat to thereby prevent a backward flow even if the pressure in the inlet chamber side becomes lower than the pressure in the outlet chamber side. With a pilot control valve member is in a closed state, when the pressure in the inlet chamber is higher, a pressurized medium is introduced to the control pressure chamber via a first valve unit and is cut off from the outlet chamber by a second valve unit. When the pressure in the outlet chamber is higher, the pressurized medium is introduced to the control pressure chamber via the second valve unit and is cut off from the outlet chamber by the first valve unit.
