  • Patent number: 10472804
    Abstract: A hydraulic control system achieves a reduction in meter-out pressure loss in accordance with variation of a negative load acting on a hydraulic actuator. A hydraulic fluid discharged from the actuator flows through meter-out flow lines having variable restrictors. A load sensor detects the magnitude of a negative load applied to the actuator by an external force in the same direction as the operating direction of the actuator. A control device reduces the sum total of the opening areas of the variable restrictors in accordance with an increase in the magnitude of the negative load detected by the load sensor and the operation amount detected by the operation amount sensor when the load abnormality sensor does not detect any abnormality. When an abnormality is detected, it reduces the sum total of the opening areas to a predetermined value in accordance with the operation amount detected by the operation amount sensor.
