Mixer drum driving apparatus driven by liquid-pressure pump and auxiliary liquid-pressure pump that is driven by electric motor

摘要

A mixer drum driving apparatus includes a liquid-pressure motor that drives the mixer drum to rotate, a liquid-pressure pump that is driven by a motive force of an engine and supplies working liquid to the liquid-pressure motor, an auxiliary liquid-pressure pump that is driven by an electric motor and supplies working liquid to the liquid-pressure motor, a pressure detector that detects a liquid pressure of working liquid discharged from the auxiliary liquid-pressure pump, and a switching valve that switches whether or not working liquid from the auxiliary liquid-pressure pump is supplied to the liquid-pressure motor. In a state in which the switching valve is closed and the mixer drum is being driven to rotate by the liquid-pressure motor that is driven by the liquid-pressure pump, the controller opens the switching valve if a liquid pressure detected by the pressure detector reaches or exceeds a preset liquid pressure.

主权项

1. A mixer drum driving apparatus for driving a mixer drum carried on a frame of a mixer truck such that the mixer drum is freely rotatable, the mixer drum driving apparatus comprising:
a liquid-pressure motor that is configured to drive the mixer drum to rotate; a liquid-pressure pump that is driven by a motive force of an engine of the mixer truck and that is configured to supply working liquid to the liquid-pressure motor; an auxiliary liquid-pressure pump that is provided independently from the liquid-pressure pump and that is driven by an electric motor, the auxiliary liquid-pressure pump is configured to supply working liquid to the liquid-pressure motor; a pressure detector that is configured to detect a liquid pressure of working liquid discharged from the auxiliary liquid-pressure pump; a switching valve that is configured to switch whether or not working liquid discharged from the auxiliary liquid-pressure pump is supplied to the liquid-pressure motor; and a controller that is configured to control the switching valve to open/close the switching valve, the controller being connected to the pressure detector to receive a detection signal from the pressure detector, wherein when the switching valve is in a closed state and the mixer drum is in a state in which the mixer drum is driven to rotate by the liquid-pressure motor driven by the liquid-pressure pump, the controller opens the switching valve if a liquid pressure detected by the pressure detector reaches or exceeds a preset liquid pressure.
