  • Patent number: 7356991
    Abstract: A hydraulic control device of an excavator is provided for controlling combined operation of boom-raising and swing on a slope. A swing priority valve (20) is provided on a pressured fluid supply line (8) that connects a first hydraulic pump (1) to a boom high-speed control valve (7). If an excavator performs its tasks on a slope, the swing priority valve (20) is automatically shifted under a control of an electronic controller (28) into a throttling position to thereby restrict hydraulic flow through the boom high-speed control valve (7) so that an increased amount of hydraulic flow can be supplied to a swing motor (14), thus increasing a swing operating pressure more rapidly than a boom operating pressure and consequently facilitating combined operation of boom-raising and swing on a slope.
