AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing fluid pressure circuits, the efficiency of pressure accumulation into an accumulator is lowered due to the head side oil chambers of the boom cylinders joining together, increasing thrust force during boom raising and dispersing load during lowering, which affects overall efficiency.

Method used

A fluid pressure circuit design where a plurality of drive portions are connected to a single accumulator, with a return flow passage branching off to a first drive portion for concentrated force application during load cancellation, and optionally incorporating a pressure booster to enhance fluid pressure accumulation.

Benefits of technology

This design allows for high-pressure accumulation of fluid in the accumulator, reducing the total piston area and enhancing the freedom of drive portion sizes and combinations, while maintaining precise control over cylinder devices.

Abstract

A fluid pressure circuit in which efficiency of pressure accumulation is high is provided. A fluid pressure circuit 100 includes a plurality of drive portions 5, 6, 7 connected to a single load 4, and an accumulator 10 configured for accumulating pressure. The drive portions 5, 6, 7 include at least one drive portion 7 of which a return flow passage 23-2 branches and is connected to the accumulator 10.
