  • Patent number: 12085098
    Abstract: A multi-control valve unit includes a housing with built-in spools that are parallel to each other. The housing includes pilot chambers formed therein, the pilot chambers corresponding to both ends of the spools. Solenoid proportional valves are mounted to the housing, such that the solenoid proportional valves are connected to the respective pilot chambers. A hydraulic pressure generator is mounted to the housing, such that the hydraulic pressure generator is connected to the solenoid proportional valves. The hydraulic pressure generator includes an electric motor and a pump.

  • Patent number: 11815084
    Abstract: A hydraulic system includes: a cylinder that moves a moving object in a vertical direction by extension and retraction of a rod; a first bidirectional pump connected to a head-side chamber of the cylinder by a first supply/discharge line; a second bidirectional pump connected to a rod-side chamber of the cylinder by a second supply/discharge line and coupled to the first bidirectional pump in a manner enabling torque to be transmitted between the first and second bidirectional pumps; a relay line connecting the first and second bidirectional pumps such that a hydraulic liquid discharged from one of the first and second bidirectional pumps is introduced into the other of the first and second bidirectional pumps; and a servomotor that drives the first or second bidirectional pump. At least one of the first and second bidirectional pumps is a variable displacement pump whose delivery capacity per rotation is freely variable.

  • Patent number: 11486416
    Abstract: A hydraulic system includes: a cylinder in which an interior of a tube is divided by a piston into a first pressure chamber and a second pressure chamber; a first bidirectional pump connected to the first pressure chamber by a first supply/discharge line; a second bidirectional pump connected to the second pressure chamber by a second supply/discharge line and coupled to the first bidirectional pump in a manner enabling torque to be transmitted between the first and second bidirectional pumps; a relay line connecting the first and second bidirectional pumps such that a hydraulic liquid discharged from one of the first and second bidirectional pumps is introduced into the other of the first and second bidirectional pumps; and an electric motor that drives the first or second bidirectional pump. At least one of the first and second bidirectional pumps is a variable displacement pump whose delivery capacity per rotation is freely variable.

  • Patent number: 10982697
    Abstract: A hydraulic drive unit includes: a pump; a pair of supply-discharge lines; a valve block; a sealed tank; a suction line that leads hydraulic oil in the sealed tank to the pump; a connecting line that connects an air vent port of the pump to the suction line; and a gas-liquid separator that separates air and the hydraulic oil flowing through the connecting line from each other. The pump is disposed upward of the valve block and the sealed tank in a vertical direction.
