Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a hydraulic control system for a construction machine. More particularly, the present invention relates to a hydraulic control system for a construction machine, which can operate an arm cylinder and a bucket cylinder by supplying hydraulic fluid from respective hydraulic pumps to the arm cylinder and the bucket cylinder during a combined operation such as an excavating work in which an arm joystick and a bucket joystick are simultaneously operated.

BACKGROUND ART

A hydraulic control system for a construction machine in the related art, as illustrated in FIG. 1, includes a pair of first and second variable displacement hydraulic pumps (hereinafter referred to as “hydraulic pumps”) 1 and 2; an arm cylinder 3 connected to the first hydraulic pump 1; a bucket cylinder (not illustrated) connected to the second hydraulic pump 2; an arm joystick 4 and a bucket joystick (not illustrated) outputting control signals according to operation amounts; a first arm control valve 5 installed in a flow path between the first hydraulic pump 1 and the arm cylinder 3 and shifted to control a start, stop, and direction change of the arm cylinder 3 in response to an operation of the arm joystick 4; a second arm control valve 6 installed in a flow path between the second hydraulic pump 2 and the arm cylinder 3 and shifted to make discharged hydraulic fluid of the second hydraulic pump 2 join the hydraulic fluid of the arm cylinder 3 to be supplied if the control signal according to the operation of the arm joystick 4 exceeds a set value; and a bucket control valve (not illustrated) installed in a path between the second hydraulic pump 2 and the bucket cylinder (not illustrated) and shifted to control a start, stop, and direction change of the bucket cylinder in response to the operation of the bucket joystick.
Accordingly, in the case where an excavating work is performed by simultaneously operating an arm and a bucket, the first arm control valve 5 is shifted in the rightward direction in the drawing in accordance with a control signal that is generated through the operation of the arm joystick 4 to perform arm-in driving, and thus hydraulic fluid that is discharged from the first hydraulic pump 1 is supplied to a large chamber 3 a of the arm cylinder 3 via the shifted first arm control valve 5. At this time, the hydraulic fluid that returns from a small chamber 3 b of the arm cylinder 3 is fed back to a hydraulic tank T via the first arm control valve 5.
If an operation amount of the arm joystick 4 exceeds a predetermined value, the second arm control valve 6 is shifted in the leftward direction in the drawing, and thus the hydraulic fluid from the second hydraulic pump 2 joins hydraulic fluid of a large chamber 2 a of the arm cylinder 2 via the shifted second arm control valve 6 to be supplied.
On the other hand, although not illustrated in the drawing, the bucket cylinder may be driven by the hydraulic fluid that is supplied from the second hydraulic pump 2 due to the operation of the bucket joystick.
Accordingly, during the combined operation in which the arm and the bucket are simultaneously operated, the arm cylinder 3 may be driven by the hydraulic fluids discharged from the first and second hydraulic pumps 1 and 2 to join each other.
As described above, in the case where the excavating work is performed by simultaneously operating the arm and the bucket (in general, a load that is generated on the side of the arm cylinder 3 is relatively higher than a load that is generated on the side of the bucket cylinder), the hydraulic fluids discharged from the first and second hydraulic pumps 1 and 2 join each other and are supplied to the arm cylinder 3 to drive the arm cylinder, and the hydraulic fluid discharged from the second hydraulic pump 2 is supplied only to the bucket cylinder to drive the bucket cylinder. At this time, even in the case where the load is generated on either side of the arm cylinder 3 and the bucket cylinder due to an external load that acts on the arm cylinder 3 or the bucket cylinder, the discharge pressures of the first and second hydraulic pumps 1 and 2 are generally increased. Due to this, a pressure loss occurs, and this exerts a bad influence on the fuel efficiency.

The matters defined in the description, such as the detailed construction and elements, are nothing but specific details provided to assist those of ordinary skill in the art in a comprehensive understanding of the invention, and the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed hereinafter.
According to an embodiment of the present invention as illustrated in FIG. 2, a hydraulic control system for a construction machine includes first and second variable displacement hydraulic pumps (hereinafter referred to as “hydraulic pumps”) 1 and 2; an arm cylinder 3 connected to the first hydraulic pump 1; a bucket cylinder (not illustrated) connected to the second hydraulic pump 2; an arm joystick 4 and a bucket joystick (not illustrated) outputting control signals according to operation amounts; a first arm control valve 5 installed in a flow path between the first hydraulic pump 1 and the arm cylinder 3 and shifted to control a start, stop, and direction change of the arm cylinder 3 in response to an operation of the arm joystick 4; a second arm control valve 6 installed in a flow path between the second hydraulic pump 2 and the arm cylinder 3 and shifted to make discharged hydraulic fluid of the second hydraulic pump 2 join the hydraulic fluid of the arm cylinder 3 to be supplied if the control signal according to the operation of the arm joystick 4 exceeds a set value; a bucket control valve (not illustrated) installed in a path between the second hydraulic pump 2 and the bucket cylinder and shifted to control a start, stop, and direction change of the bucket cylinder in response to the operation of the bucket joystick; and a confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 installed in a path 7 between the second hydraulic pump 2 and the second arm control valve 6 and shifted to cut off confluence of the hydraulic fluid discharged from the second hydraulic pump 2 with the discharged hydraulic fluid of the first hydraulic pump 1 if discharge pressures of the first and second hydraulic pumps 1 and 2 exceed a set value.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a hydraulic control system including first and second variable displacement hydraulic pumps 1 and 2, an arm cylinder 3 connected to the first hydraulic pump 1, a bucket cylinder (not illustrated) connected to the second hydraulic pump 2, an arm joystick 4 and a bucket joystick (not illustrated) outputting control signals according to operation amounts thereof, a first arm control valve 5 controlling hydraulic fluid supplied to the arm cylinder 3 according to an operation of the arm joystick 4, a second arm control valve 6 controlling the hydraulic fluid that is supplied from the second hydraulic pump 2 to the arm cylinder 3 if a control signal according to the operation of the arm joystick 4 exceeds a set value, a bucket control valve (not illustrated) controlling driving of the bucket cylinder according to an operation of the bucket joystick, and a confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 making the hydraulic fluid of the second hydraulic pump 2 join the hydraulic fluid of the first hydraulic pump 1 if the arm cylinder 3 is singly operated and cutting off a confluence function if the arm cylinder 3 and the bucket cylinder are simultaneously operated, the hydraulic control system includes a first step S100 of reading an arm-in control signal according to an operation amount of the arm joystick 4, a bucket-in control signal according to an operation amount of the bucket joystick, and discharge pressures of the first and second hydraulic pumps 1 and 2; a second step S200 of determining whether the arm-in control signal exceeds one set value Ap and whether the bucket-in control signal exceeds the set value Ap; a third step S300 of determining whether the discharge pressure of the first hydraulic pump 1 exceeds another set value Bp and whether the discharge pressure of the second hydraulic pump 2 exceeds the set value Bp; and a fourth step S400 of releasing the confluence function by applying control signals that are in proportion to the arm-in control signal and the bucket-in control signal to the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 if the arm-in control signal and the bucket-in control signal exceed the one set value Ap and the discharge pressures of the first and second hydraulic pumps 1 and 2 exceed the other set value Bp.
The confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 operates in a first state I of cutting off a flow path 7 when the arm joystick 4 and the bucket joystick are simultaneously operated, and in a second state II of connecting the flow path 7 when the arm joystick is singly operated.
The confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 operates in a first section (a) where movement amounts are controlled to be gradually increased in proportion to the operation amounts of the arm joystick 4 and the bucket joystick to release the confluence function (the second state II of the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8), in a second section (b) where the confluence cutoff state (the first state I of the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8) is maintained according to the increase of the operation amounts of the arm joystick 4 and the bucket joystick, and in a third section (c) where movement amounts are controlled to be gradually decreased in reverse proportion to the operation amounts of the arm joystick 4 and the bucket joystick to be shifted to the confluence function (the second state II of the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8).

The confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 may include an electro proportional control valve that is shifted to open/close the flow path 7 according to an input of an electric signal.
Hereinafter, a use example of a hydraulic control system for a construction machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, in the case where an arm is singly operated, the first arm control valve 5 is shifted in the rightward direction in the drawing in accordance with the control signal that is generated through the arm-in operation of the arm joystick 4, and thus hydraulic fluid Q1 that is discharged from the first hydraulic pump 1 in accordance with the operation amount of the arm joystick 4 is supplied to a large chamber 3 a of the arm cylinder 3 via the shifted first arm control valve 5. At this time, the hydraulic fluid that returns from a small chamber 3 b of the arm cylinder 3 is fed back to a hydraulic tank T via the first arm control valve 5.
If the operation amount of the arm joystick 4 exceeds a predetermined value, the second arm control valve 6 is shifted in the leftward direction in the drawing, and thus hydraulic fluid Q2 that is discharged from the second hydraulic pump 2 joins hydraulic fluid of a large chamber 2 a of the arm cylinder 2 via the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 and the second arm control valve 6 in order (in this case, the amount of hydraulic fluid that is supplied to the large chamber 3 a of the arm cylinder 3 becomes (Q1+Q2)).
Accordingly, when the arm is singly operated, the hydraulic fluid Q2 that is supplied from the second hydraulic pump 2 joins the hydraulic fluid Q1 that is supplied from the first hydraulic pump 1 to the arm cylinder 3 (Q1+Q2), the operation speed of the arm cylinder 3 can be increased.
Although not illustrated in the drawing, the bucket cylinder may be driven by the hydraulic fluid that is supplied from the second hydraulic pump 2 due to the operation of the bucket joystick.
On the other hand, if the control signal according to the operation of the arm joystick 4 and the bucket joystick (not illustrated) is input and the discharge pressure values of the first and second hydraulic pumps 1 and 2 exceed the set value, it is considered that the actual excavating work is done, and a controller (not illustrated) outputs an electric control signal (a control signal for cutting off the confluence of the hydraulic fluids of the first and second hydraulic pumps 1 and 2) to the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8.
Through this, the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 is shifted in the downward direction in the drawing to cut off the flow path (supply side flow path provided between the second hydraulic pump 2 and the second arm control valve 6, and thus the hydraulic fluid from the second hydraulic pump 2 becomes unable to join the hydraulic fluid of the first hydraulic pump 1. That is, the hydraulic fluid from the first hydraulic pump 1 is supplied to the arm cylinder 3 via the first arm control valve 5, and at the same time, the hydraulic fluid from the second hydraulic pump 2 is supplied to the bucket cylinder via a bucket control valve (not illustrated) (at this time, the hydraulic fluid that is supplied to the bucket cylinder is supplied without being interfered with the operation of the arm cylinder 3).
Hereinafter, a hydraulic control system for a construction machine according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which a confluence function is released through a confluence cutoff proportional valve, will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In S100 of FIG. 3, an arm-in control signal according to an operation amount of the arm joystick 4, a bucket-in control signal according to an operation amount of the bucket joystick, and discharge pressures of the first and second hydraulic pumps 1 and 2 are read.
In S200, it is determined whether the arm-in control signal exceeds one set value Ap and whether the bucket-in control signal exceeds the set value Ap.
In S300, it is determined whether the discharge pressure of the first hydraulic pump 1 exceeds another set value Bp and whether the discharge pressure of the second hydraulic pump exceeds the other set value Bp.
In S400, if the arm-in control signal and the bucket-in control signal exceed the one set value Ap and the discharge pressures of the first and second hydraulic pumps 1 and 2 exceed the other set value Bp, it is determined that an actual excavating work is done through recognition of load occurrence in the arm cylinder 3 and the bucket cylinder.
Through this, an electric control signal that is in proportion to the arm-in control signal and the bucket-in control signal is applied from the controller to the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 to shift the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 to a first state I, and thus the flow path 7 between the second hydraulic pump 2 and the second arm control valve 6 is cut off.
At this time, the control signal S that is applied to the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 may be expressed by the following equation.
S=(arm-in operation amount×C) and (bucket-in operation amount×D)
Here, C and D are predetermined constants that are applied to works selected according to various excavating conditions.
As shown in FIG. 4, the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8 operates in a first section (a) where movement amounts are controlled to be gradually increased in proportion to the operation amounts of the arm joystick 4 and the bucket joystick to release the confluence function, in a second section (b) where the confluence cutoff state is maintained according to the increase of the operation amounts of the arm joystick 4 and the bucket joystick, and in a third section (c) where movement amounts are controlled to be gradually decreased in reverse proportion to the operation amounts of the arm joystick 4 and the bucket joystick to be shifted to the confluence function.
Accordingly, in the case of performing the excavating work through simultaneously operation of the arm cylinder 3 and the bucket cylinder, the confluence function is released by cutting off the flow path 7 through the confluence cutoff proportional valve 8, and thus the hydraulic fluid of the second hydraulic pump 2 becomes unable to join the hydraulic fluid discharged from the first hydraulic pump 1 any further.
That is, in the case of simultaneously operating the arm and the bucket to perform the excavating work, the hydraulic fluid from the first hydraulic pump 1 is supplied to the large chamber 3 a of the arm cylinder 3 via the first arm control valve 5, and at the same time, the hydraulic fluid from the second hydraulic pump 2 is supplied to the large chamber of the bucket cylinder via the bucket control valve.
As described above, according to the hydraulic control system for a construction machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, in the case where the excavating work is done by simultaneously operating the arm and the bucket, the hydraulic fluids, which correspond to powers that are respectively required in the arm cylinder and the bucket cylinder, are supplied from the respective hydraulic pumps to the arm cylinder and the bucket cylinder, and thus pressure loss of the hydraulic pumps can be prevented to heighten the fuel efficiency.
