  • Patent number: 6321535
    Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for a loader vehicle includes a working machine hydraulic circuit, a steering hydraulic circuit, a variable displacement auxiliary hydraulic pump, in which the displacement volume becomes smaller as the operating oil pressure becomes higher, when the operating oil pressure exceeds a predetermined oil pressure by receiving the operating oil pressure of the working machine hydraulic circuit, and a flow dividing valve for switching and supplying oil discharge from the auxiliary hydraulic pump to either one of the hydraulic circuits with a priority being given to the steering hydraulic circuit. A pump capacity control device includes a working machine hydraulic actuator, a working machine hydraulic pump, a steering pump, a steering pump capacity servo, a working machine load sensor, and an engine speed sensor.

  • Publication number: 20010008068
    Abstract: A hydraulic circuit for a loader vehicle includes: a working machine hydraulic circuit (10); a steering hydraulic circuit (20); a variable displacement auxiliary hydraulic pump (50A), in which the displacement volume (Vs) becomes smaller as the operating oil pressure becomes higher, when the operating oil pressure exceeds a predetermined oil pressure by receiving the operating oil pressure of the working machine hydraulic circuit (10); a flow dividing valve (60), for switching and supplying oil discharge (Qs) from the auxiliary hydraulic pump to either one of the hydraulic circuits (10, 20), with a priority being given to the steering hydraulic circuit (20). One pump capacity control device includes a working machine hydraulic actuator (201); a working machine hydraulic pump (202); a working machine pump capacity control means (205); a working machine load detecting means (206a); and an engine speed detecting means (207).
