Abstract: A hydraulic drive system raises and lowers an object by supplying and discharging operating oil to and from each of two ports of an actuator and includes a control device, first to third electromagnetic proportional control valves, a hydraulic pump, a control valve, and a lock valve. When a second pilot pressure is output, the control valve causes the operating oil to be discharged from a first port in order to lower the object. The lock valve is disposed so as to be able to prevent the operating oil from being discharged from the first port by closing a path between the first port and the control valve, and only when a third pilot pressure is output, allows the operating oil to be discharged from the first port by opening the path between the first port and the control valve.

Abstract: A hydraulic system of a construction machine includes: control valves interposed between a main pump and hydraulic actuators; and first solenoid proportional valves connected to pilot ports of the control valves. The hydraulic system further includes: an unloading valve including a pilot port; and a second solenoid proportional valve connected to the pilot port of the unloading valve by a secondary pressure line and connected to an auxiliary pump by a primary pressure line. A switching valve including a pilot port connected to the secondary pressure line by a pilot line is interposed between the auxiliary pump and the first solenoid proportional valves.

Abstract: A hydraulic excavator drive system includes: a first pump connected to a boom main control valve and an arm auxiliary control valve by a first pump line; a second pump connected to a boom auxiliary control valve and an arm main control valve by a second pump line; and a controller that does not move the arm auxiliary control valve when arm crowding operation boom raising operations are performed concurrently. The boom auxiliary control valve moves together with the boom main control valve when the boom raising operation is performed. A boom raising second supply line, which connects the boom auxiliary control valve to a boom raising first supply line between the boom main control valve and a boom cylinder, is provided with a check valve that allows a flow from the boom auxiliary control valve toward a head side of the boom cylinder, but prevents a reverse flow.

Abstract: A drive control system includes an electric motor, a capacitor, a revolution sensor, a driving device, and a control device. The driving device causes the capacitor to supply electric power to the electric motor to operate the electric motor and causes the capacitor to store the electric power, generated by the electric motor, to brake a turning body. The driving device configured as above is driven by driving electric power supplied from the capacitor. When a charging stop condition is satisfied, the control device stops the driving electric power supplied from the capacitor to the driving device. The charging stop condition is a condition that a turning speed detected by the revolution sensor is a predetermined speed or less while the turning body is decelerating.

Abstract: An oil-pressure driving system includes a variable displacement oil-pressure pump, a tilting angle adjuster, an electric motor, and a control device. In the control device, a target assist torque calculating portion calculates a target assist torque, a first torque limiting portion limits the target assist torque to an output value that is a virtual limit value or less, and a drive control portion controls the electric motor such that the electric motor outputs a command torque corresponding to the output value. Further, in the control device, a torque deficiency calculating portion calculates a torque deficiency by subtracting the output value from the target assist torque, a tilting angle calculating portion calculates a tilting angle command value by which the output torque of the oil-pressure pump is reduced by the torque deficiency, and a tilting angle control portion outputs a tilt signal corresponding to the tilting angle command value to the tilting angle adjuster.
