  • Publication number: 20050204912
    Abstract: A hydraulic control system for a working machine according to the present invention includes a regulator control valve for controlling an operation of a pump regulator and a controller for sending a control signal for changing a discharge quantity of the pump to the regulator control valve in accordance with an operation amount of an operating means. On the basis of the control signal, a secondary pressure in the regulator control valve is fed to the pump regulator. This system further includes a fail-safe valve disposed in a control line joining the pump regulator and the regulator control valve. The fail-safe valve has an ordinary position for sending the secondary pressure to the pump regulator and a fail-safe position for sending an oil pressure from a path other than the regulator control valve to the pump regulator in such a manner that a predetermined discharge amount is ensured.

  • Publication number: 20040244232
    Abstract: A hydraulic controller for working machine according to the present invention, which presupposes an electronic control system where an integrated bleed-off valve common to hydraulic actuators is used for bleed-off control and the bleed-off valve is controlled by the secondary pressure of a proportional solenoid valve controlled by a controller, is constituted to compensate supply of a pressure oil for the hydraulic actuators even if the secondary pressure of the proportional solenoid valve is stopped, by providing, at the bleed-off valve, a fail-safe position with a fail-safe path which opens with an opening having smaller area than an unload opening.

  • Publication number: 20040211471
    Abstract: An option valve for controlling the operation of an option actuator added as an option is installed into each of first and second main valve blocks in each of which plural control valves, a pressure oil supply line connected to a pump and a tank line connected to a tank are incorporated, and plural types of connection blocks incorporating circuit elements to be added to the option valve are attached to the main valve blocks selectively to constitute a hydraulic valve device. According to this hydraulic valve device, it is possible to widely cope with various option attachments despite a built-in system with the option valve incorporated beforehand in the main valve blocks.

  • Patent number: 6708490
    Abstract: According to the invention, traveling bypass cut-off valves are disposed in center bypass passages respectively which are located between traveling direction control valves and working direction control valves disposed downstream of the valves, wherein, when at least a traveling motor and any of working actuators are operated simultaneously, the traveling bypass cut-off valves are switched from neutral position to another position. Thereby, when travel and work by working actuators are performed simultaneously, interference between pressure oil fed to traveling motors and pressure oil fed to the working actuators is to be prevented.
