  • Patent number: 7047734
    Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for a hydraulic cylinder capable of executing and adjusting a shock absorbing function at the time of stopping the operation of a cylinder piston rod and releasing the function, comprises a damping control valve (v1) having a first switching position (v11) which blocks the connection of the accumulation port (22) with outside and performs supply and discharge or discharge and supply of the operating oil with respect to the first cylinder chamber (3) and the second cylinder chamber (4), a second switching position (v12) connecting at least the accumulation port (22) and the second cylinder chamber (4), and a third switching position (v13) connecting at least the accumulation port (22) and the first cylinder chamber (3).
