Definitions

Relates to the device.
- the discharge flow rate of the hydraulic pump (main pump) is controlled so that the discharge pressure of the hydraulic pump is higher than the maximum load pressure of a plurality of actuators by a target differential pressure.
- this control is called load sensing control.
- the differential pressure across the plurality of flow control valves is held at a predetermined differential pressure by the pressure compensation valve, and the load pressure of each actuator is controlled during the combined operation of simultaneously driving the plurality of actuators.
- the pressure oil can be supplied at a ratio corresponding to the opening area of each flow control valve.
- a hydraulic drive device that performs such load sensing control is described in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-205501.
- an unload valve is provided in a pressure oil supply oil passage through which discharge oil of a main pump is guided. It is connected.
- the unload valve operates mainly under the condition that the flow control valve is not operating (at neutral), and the pressure of the main pump pressure oil supply oil passage (discharge pressure of the main pump) is set by the set pressure of the main relief valve.
- the pressure is limited to a low pressure, and the discharge flow of the main pump is returned to the tank when neutral.
- the unload valve is provided with a spring for setting the target unload pressure, and this spring acts in the valve closing direction to guide the main pump discharge pressure and the maximum load pressure, respectively.
- the maximum load pressure is applied in the valve closing direction.
- the hydraulic drive device is configured to guide the tank pressure (approximately 0 MPa) to the unload valve as the maximum load pressure when neutral. This causes the unload valve to open when the discharge pressure of the main pump exceeds the target unload pressure set by the spring when neutral, returning the discharge flow of the main pump to the tank, and targeting the discharge pressure of the main pump Control to keep below unload pressure.
- the unload valve when the actuator is driven, the unload valve has a differential pressure between the discharge pressure of the main pump and the maximum load pressure that exceeds the target unload pressure set by the spring of the unload valve.
- a part of the discharge rate of the main pump is returned to the tank, and the discharge pressure of the main pump is controlled so as to be kept below the maximum load pressure plus the target unload pressure.
- a conventional hydraulic drive device that performs load sensing control as described in Patent Document 1 includes an unload valve as described above, and is in a main state when the flow control valve is not operating and when an actuator is driven. If the discharge pressure of the pump is higher than the target unload pressure set by the spring than the maximum load pressure (tank pressure when neutral), the discharge flow of the main pump is returned to the tank, and the discharge pressure of the main pump is unnecessary. I try to avoid the rise.
- returning the discharge flow rate of the hydraulic pump to the tank via the unload valve means that the energy of the pressure oil generated in the main pump is discarded without being used, and the energy consumption efficiency of the entire hydraulic drive unit is reduced. Will be reduced.

- the hydraulic motor, generator, and control device are arranged, and the generator is controlled to generate power so that the discharge pressure of the main pump becomes higher than the target control pressure obtained by adding a predetermined value to the maximum load pressure due to the rotation of the hydraulic motor. Therefore, when the discharge pressure of the main pump becomes higher than the maximum load pressure by a predetermined value at neutral time when the flow rate control valve is not operating or when the actuator is driven, rotation of the main pump At least a part of the discharge flow rate is returned to the tank, and an unnecessary increase in the discharge pressure of the main pump is avoided. Thereby, the function equivalent to the conventional unloading valve can be fulfilled.

Abstract
Description
~構成~
図1は本発明の第1の実施形態に係わる作業機械の油圧駆動装置を示す図である。
第2制御装置55は圧力センサ54によって検出された最高負荷圧PLmaxを入力する。
次いで、第2制御装置55は、最高負荷圧PLmaxに予め定めた値Pbを加算して目標制御圧力Punを計算する。
ここで、予め定めた値Pbは、例えば目標LS差圧である差圧減圧弁30bから出力される絶対圧Paに等しいか、これよりも少し高い圧力に設定する。例えば電動機1が最高定格回転数にあるときに差圧減圧弁30bから出力される絶対圧Pa(目標LS差圧)が2.0MPaであるとすると、予め定めた値Pbは2.0~3.0Mpa程度に設定する。本実施の形態では、予め定めた値Pbは絶対圧Pa(目標LS差圧)に等しく設定されている。なお、油圧モータ52と発電機53の慣性による回転の遅れなどを考慮し、予め定めた値Pbは絶対圧Pa(目標LS差圧)より低い値であってもよい。
次いで、第2制御装置55は、メインポンプ2の吐出圧が目標制御圧力Punに達した場合に油圧モータ52に作用する回転トルクTmを計算する。この回転トルクTmは,油圧モータ52の容量をqとすると、下記式で計算できる。
本明細書では、この回転トルクをアンロード回転トルクという。
次いで、第2制御装置55は、油圧モータ52のアンロード回転トルクTmに打ち勝つ大きさの発電トルクTgを演算する。油圧モータ52のアンロード回転トルクTmにに打ち勝つ大きさの発電トルクTgとは、アンロード回転トルクTmと大きさが同じかそれよりも少し大きくかつ回転方向が反対の回転トルクを意味する。
次いで、第2制御装置55は、発電機53が発電トルクTgを生成するための発電電力を演算する。
次いで、第2制御装置55は、その発電電力に対応する制御指令を発電機53に出力し、発電機53に、油圧モータ52のアンロード回転トルクTmに打ち勝つ大きさの発電トルクTgを生成させる。
~油圧ショベル~
図3に油圧ショベルの外観を示す。
~動作~
次に、本実施の形態の油圧駆動装置の動作を説明する。
全ての操作レバー装置34a~34hの操作レバーが中立位置にある場合、全ての流量制御弁26a~26hは中立位置にあり、アクチュエータ5~12に圧油は供給されない。また、流量制御弁26a~26hが中立位置にあるときは、シャトル弁22a~22gにより検出される最高負荷圧PLmaxはタンク圧(ほぼ0MPa)となる。
ブームシリンダ10の操作を例にすると、ブーム上げ動作を意図してブーム用操作レバー装置34fの操作レバーを図示左方向(ブーム上げ方向)にフルストロークで操作した場合は、パイロット油圧源33の圧油に基づいて流量制御弁26fを操作するための制御パイロット圧kが生成され、流量制御弁26fに導かれる。これによりブーム用の流量制御弁26fが切り換わり、ブームシリンダ10に圧油が供給され、ブームシリンダ10が駆動される。
ブームシリンダ10の操作を例にすると、ブーム上げ動作から停止を意図してブーム用の操作レバー装置34fの操作レバーをフルストロークから中立位置へ戻すよう操作すると、パイロット油圧源33の圧油がカットされ流量制御弁26fを操作するための制御パイロット圧kの生成が止まり、流量制御弁36fは中立位置に戻る。メインポンプ2から吐出された圧油は、流量制御弁26fが中立位置に戻ったため、ブームシリンダ10へ流入しなくなる。
以上の動作は電動機1が最高定格回転数にあるときのものである。電動機1の回転数を低速に下げた場合は、電動機回転数検出弁30から出力される絶対圧Paがそれに応じて低下するため、ポンプ制御装置35のLS制御弁35bの目標LS差圧も同様に低下する。また、ロードセンシング制御の結果、圧力補償弁27a~27hの目標補償差圧も同様に低下する。これによりエンジン回転数の低下に合わせてメインポンプ2の吐出流量と流量制御弁26a~26hの要求流量が減少し、アクチュエータ5~12の駆動速度が速くなりすぎることがなく、エンジン回転数を下げた場合の微操作性を向上することができる。
~効果~
このように本実施の形態においては、全ての操作レバーが中立で流量制御弁26a~26hが動作していないときと操作レバーが操作されるアクチュエータ5~12の駆動時のそれぞれにおいて、メインポンプ2の吐出圧が最高負荷圧PLmaxよりも予め定めた値Pb以上高くなるまでは発電機53は回転せず、油圧モータ52も回転しないため、メインポンプ2の吐出流量が無駄にタンクに戻されることが回避される。一方、メインポンプ2の吐出圧が最高負荷圧PLmaxよりも予め定めた値Pb以上高くなると、発電機53が回転して油圧モータ52も回転するため、メインポンプ2の吐出流量の少なくとも一部がタンクに戻され、メインポンプ2の吐出圧の不要な上昇が回避される。これにより従来のアンロード弁と同等の機能を果たすことができる。
<第2の実施の形態>
本発明の第2の実施の形態を図4及び図5を用いて説明する。本実施の形態は、目標アンロード圧(予め定めた値Pb)を回転コントロールダイヤル44によって指示される電動機の目標回転数に応じて可変としたものである。
第2制御装置55Aは圧力センサ54によって検出された最高負荷圧PLmaxと回転コントロールダイヤル44によって指示された電動機1の目標回転数Ncを入力する。
次いで、第2制御装置55Aは、電動機1の目標回転数Ncをメモリに記憶してあるテーブルに参照させ、その目標回転数Ncに対応する目標アンロード圧Pbを演算する。
第2制御装置55Aにおけるその後の処理は、図2に示した第1の実施の形態のものと同じである。
以上の実施の形態は本発明の精神の範囲内で種々の変更が可能である。例えば、上記実施の形態では、原動機が電動機1である場合にについて説明したが、原動機はディーゼルエンジンであってもよい。その場合、バッテリ41に蓄えた電力は、電装品の電源として利用すればよい。また、原動機はディーゼルエンジンと電動機の組み合わせであってもよく、この場合は、アクチュエータ負荷が高いときはバッテリ41の電力を利用して電動機をアシスト駆動し、エンジンの動力に余力があるときは電動機を発電機として動作させ、発生した電力をバッテリ41に蓄えるようにすることで、エンジンの小型化と一層の省エネルギー化を図ることができる。
