  • Patent number: 11644098
    Abstract: A hydraulic system of a work machine includes a first hydraulic device to operate in a first operation mode while pressure of hydraulic oil supplied from a hydraulic pump via a first oil passage is equal to or higher than a first pressure threshold. The hydraulic oil in the first oil passage is to be discharged via a second oil passage. A pilot check valve is provided in the second oil passage and has a pilot port to receive a pilot pressure of the hydraulic oil. The pilot check valve is closed to stop discharging the hydraulic oil in the first oil passage through the second oil passage while the pilot pressure is lower than the fourth pressure threshold. The pilot check valve is opened while the pilot pressure is higher than or equal to the fourth pressure threshold. The first hydraulic device is a ride control device.

  • Patent number: 10451094
    Abstract: A hydraulic system of a work machine includes a first oil path which is connected to a hydraulic pump and though which hydraulic oil is to flow from the hydraulic pump. An operation valve is connected to the first oil path. An operation lever is to control the operation valve to control pressure of the hydraulic oil in accordance with an operation of the operation member. A hydraulic instrument is to be actuated by the hydraulic oil output from the operation valve. A second oil path connects the operation valve and the hydraulic instrument. The hydraulic oil in the second oil path is discharged through a discharge oil path. An actuation valve is provided in the discharge oil path. An actuation valve controller is to control the actuation valve to be opened and closed according to a temperature of hydraulic oil detected by a first sensor.
