HYDRAULIC CONTROL DEVICE AND CONSTRUCTION MACHINE PROVIDED WITH SAME

摘要

A hydraulic control device that reduces the loss of the power of a pump in combined operation of boom lowering and arm pushing. A controller performs single control of increasing capacity of a first pump in accordance with increase in an operation amount of a boom operation member, in a single operation of the boom lowering. On the other hand, the controller restricts the capacity of the first pump compared to capacity in the single control, during a restriction control period when the combined operation of boom lowering and arm pushing is detected, and the operation amount of the boom operation member is a prescribed operation amount or more.

主权项

1. A hydraulic control device provided in a construction machine having a boom and an arm, the hydraulic control device comprising:
a boom cylinder that causes the boom to perform rising operation or lowering operation; an arm cylinder that causes the arm to perform pushing operation or pulling operation with respect to the boom; a variable capacity type first pump; a second pump that is capable of supplying hydraulic oil to the arm cylinder; a boom operation member that receives operation for driving the boom; an arm operation member that receives operation for driving the arm; a boom side control valve that is capable of switching, in accordance with an operation amount of the boom operation member, between a supply position where the hydraulic oil is supplied to the boom cylinder, and a neutral position where the supply of the hydraulic oil to the boom cylinder is stopped and where an opening for allowing passage of the hydraulic oil is provided; an arm side control valve that controls supply and discharge of the hydraulic oil with respect to the arm cylinder by switching operation according to an operation amount of the arm operation member; a tandem circuit that connects the boom side control valve and the arm side control valve in series to the first pump such that the arm side control valve is located downstream of the boom side control valve; a parallel circuit that connects the boom side control valve and the arm side control valve in parallel to the first pump; a restrictor that is provided in the parallel circuit in order to guide the hydraulic oil from the first pump preferentially to the boom side control valve over the arm side control valve; a boom operation detection member that is capable of detecting the operation amount of the boom operation member; an arm operation detection member that is capable of detecting the operation amount of the arm operation member; and a control unit that performs single control of increasing capacity of the first pump in accordance with increase in the operation amount of the boom operation member, in a single operation of the boom lowering, wherein the control unit restricts the capacity of the first pump compared to capacity in the single control, during a restriction control period when combined operation of boom lowering and arm pushing is detected by the respective detection members, and the operation amount of the boom operation member is a prescribed operation amount or more.
