Speed Sensing Control

Function: Controls the pump flow rate in response to


engine speed changes due to variations in
load so that the engine output can be util-
ized more efficiently. (Engine stall is pre-
vented when the machine operates under
adverse conditions such as operating at
high altitude.)
Q
Operation:
1. The target engine operating speed is set by con- Flow
trolling the engine control dial. Rate
2. The MC calculates the difference in speed be- Pump P-Q Curve
tween the target operating speed and the actual
operating speed monitored by the N sensor. Then,
the MC sends signals to the torque control sole-
noid valve.
3. The torque control solenoid valve delivers pilot
pressure oil in response to the signals received
from the MC to the pump regulator, controlling
the pump flow rate.
4. If the engine load increases and the actual en-
gine operating speed becomes slower than the
target operating speed, the pump swash angle is Pressure P
reduced so that pump flow rate will be reduced.
Therefore, the engine load is reduced, preventing
engine stall.
5. If the actual engine operating speed becomes
faster than the target operating speed, the pump
swash angle is increased so that the pump flow
rate will increase, by which the engine output can
be utilized more efficiently.

NOTE: The pump control consists of the speed


sensing by the MC and the pump control
valve on the control valve.
(Refer to the COMPONENT OPERATION /
Control Valve and Pump Device groups.)

point B (maximum flow rate).

Operation:
1. When the engine speed set by the engine control
dial is slow, the MC processes signals from the
travel pressure sensor, and pump 1 and 2 deliv-
ery pressure sensors and sends control signals
to the torque control solenoid valve.
2. The torque control solenoid valve delivers the pi-
lot pressure oil corresponding to the signals re-
ceived from the MC to the regulator, increasing
the pump flow rate.

NOTE: If the MC stops the slow speed torque in-


crease control when the front attachment
is operated while traveling, the pump flow
rate will be reduced quickly, developing a
shock load to the machine. Therefore, the
MC maintains the slow speed torque in-
crease control even if the front attachment
is simultaneously operated while traveling.

SYSTEM / Control System
Arm Regenerative Control

Function: Accelerates the arm roll-in speed to pre-


vent arm hesitation during arm roll-in op-
eration.

Operation: The MC activates the solenoid valve unit


(SC) so that solenoid valve delivers the pi-
lot pressure oil to shift the arm regenera-
tive valve when signals from the pump 2
delivery pressure sensor, swing pressure
sensor, arm roll-in pressure sensor, and
boom raise pressure sensor meet the fol-
lowing conditions. When the arm regen-
erative valve is shifted, the return circuit
from the arm cylinder rod side to the hy-
draulic oil tank is closed. Then, the return
oil from the cylinder rod side is combined
with the pressure oil from the pump and is
routed to the cylinder bottom, accelerating
the arm roll-in speed and preventing arm
hesitation. (Refer to the COMPONENT
OPERATION / Control Valve group.)

Operating Conditions:
Pump 2 Delivery Pressure Sensor: Low pressure.
(The arm doesn’t need much power.)
Arm Roll-In Pressure Sensor: High output. (The arm
control lever stroke is large.)
Swing or Boom raise Sensor: Outputting signal.

NOTE: To improve arm leveling performance, the


MC gradually activates solenoid valve unit
(SC) when the hydraulic oil temperature is
at 0 to 10 C (32 to 50 F).

Travel Motor Swash Angle Control

Function: Controls the travel mode.

Operation: When the travel mode switch is in the


SLOW position, the travel motor swash
angle is kept in the maximum angle so that
the travel speed is slow.
When the MC receives the signals from
the travel pressure sensor, pump 1 and 2
delivery pressure sensors under the fol-
lowing conditions with the travel mode
switch in the FAST position, the MC acti-
vates the solenoid valve unit (SI). Then,
the solenoid valve (SI) delivers the pilot
pressure oil to the travel motor swash an-
gle control valve, reducing the swash an-
gle to the minimum so that the travel
speed increases.

Operating Conditions:
Travel Pressure Sensor: ON
Front Attachment Pressure Sensor: OFF
Pump 1 and 2 Delivery Pressure Sensor: Both pump
delivery pressures are low.
Pump Displacement Target Angle (controlled by the
MC according to signals from sensors): Large

NOTE: When one side track is raise off the ground


using the front attachment and is rotated,
the one side pump displacement target
angle remains small so that the travel mo-
tor speed does not increase.

• The pilot signal circuit pressure shifts the swing


parking brake release spool.

• Consequently, the pilot pressure is routed to the


swing motor, releasing the swing parking brake.

• When the pilot shut-off valve is closed, the pilot
pressure is routed to the shockless valve so that
hydraulic oil is warmed while passing through the
orifice in the shockless valve.

• The warmed pilot pressure oil flows to the shock-


less valves and the pilot valves so that the pilot

MAIN CIRCUIT
Outline
• Main pumps (1 and 2) draw hydraulic oil from the
hydraulic oil tank. Main pump 1 and main pump 2
deliver pressure oil to the 4-spool control valve,
positioning control Valve (2-piece boom only),
and the 5-spool control valve respectively.

• Delivered pressure oil is routed to the motor(s) or


cylinder(s) in response to operation(s) of the
spool(s) in the control valve(s).

• The return oil from the motor(s) and/or cylinder(s)


flows back to the hydraulic oil tank via the control
valve and/or the oil cooler.

• When the oil temperature is low (high viscosity),


the oil flow resistance increases in the oil cooler,
which opens the bypass check valve, allowing
hydraulic oil to return directly to the hydraulic oil
tank without passing through the oil cooler.

Single Operation Circuit


• Pressure oil from main pump 1 is routed to the
4-spool control valve and is further routed to
each spool of the travel (right), bucket, boom 1,
and arm 2.

• Pressure oil from main pump 2 is routed to the


5-spool control valve and is further routed to
each spool of the swing, arm 1, boom 2, and
travel (left).

• The boom raise and the arm (roll-in / out) are ac-
tuated by pressure oil from two main pumps.
Pressure oil from each main pump is combined
and supplied together.

NOTE: When operating the boom lower, pump 1


pressure oil from the boom 1 spool is
routed to the boom lower circuit as the
boom 2 spool circuit is shut off.

Swing and Boom Raise Operation
• When the boom is raised while swinging, the pilot
oil pressure shifts the swing, boom 1, and boom
2 spools.

• Pressure oil from pump 1 flows into the boom cyl-


inders via the parallel circuit and the boom 1
spool, raising the boom.

• Pressure oil from pump 2 flows into the swing


motor via the swing spool.

• At the same time, pressure oil from pump 2 flows


through the parallel circuit and after being com-
bined with pressure oil from pump 1, flows into
the boom cylinders, raising the boom together
with pressure oil from pump 1.

• At the beginning of the swing, the pressure of the


swing circuit is high and the pressure oil is easily
routed to the boom cylinder from the boom 2
spool, so the boom is raised.

• When operating the swing, the pressure of the


swing circuit becomes low and the pressure oil is
easily routed to the swing motor from the swing
spool, so the swing speed becomes faster.

• Consequently it is possible to do the work more


quickly.

Travel and Arm Roll-In Operation
• When the arm is rolled in while traveling, the pilot
oil pressure shifts the travel, arm 1 and 2 spools.

• In response to the arm spool, the pilot signal cir-


cuit pressure except the travel rises, shifting the
flow combiner valve.

• Pressure oil from pump 1 drives the right travel


motor via the right travel spool.

• At the same time, pressure oil from pump 1


passes through the flow combiner valve and the
left travel spool and drives the left travel motor.
Consequently it is possible to travel straight.

• Pressure oil from pump 2 flows into the arm cyl-


inder via the arm 1 spool, moving the arm.

• Consequently, pressure oil from pump 2 is used


only to operate the arm. Pressure oil pump 1 is
equally routed to both the right and left travel
motors, ensuring that the machine can travel
straight.

COMPONENT OPERATION / Pump Device
MAIN PUMP 1, 2
The main pump supplies pressure oil to the hydraulic
actuators such as motors, and cylinders. Shaft (3) is
connected to each pump cylinder block (6) via 7
plungers (4) so that the shaft and the cylinder block
rotate together. When cylinder block (6) is rotated,
plunders (4) reciprocate in the cylinder block, suction-
ing and delivering the hydraulic oil. Each pump is
equipped with a regulator to control the delivery oil
flow rate.

COMPONENT OPERATION / Pump Device
Operational Principle
Engine torque is transferred to the shaft and the
seven plungers, causing the cylinder block to rotate
while sliding along the valve plate surface. The
plungers reciprocate in the cylinder block bores to
alternately draw and deliver hydraulic oil.

COMPONENT OPERATION / Pump Device
Increasing and Decreasing Flow Rate
Changing inclination of the cylinder block, causes
the plunger stroke to increase or decrease depend-
ing on the slant angle which in turn controls the main
pump flow rate. Up-down movement of the servo
piston changes inclination of the cylinder block. The
servo piston is interlocked with the valve plate via
the pin. The one end of the cylinder block is kept in
contact with the surface of the valve plate and slides
along it.

COMPONENT OPERATION / Pump Device
Regulator Functions

The regulator has the three following functions:

Control by Pump Control Pressure


The pump control valve in the control valve controls
pressure in response to the movements of the spool. Flow Rate (Q)
The regulator receives this pump control pressure
signal and controls the pump flow rate as follows.
When the control valve spool is moved and the
pump control pressure is increased, the regulator
increases the pump flow rate.
When the control valve spool is returned to the
neutral position and the pump control pressure is
reduced, the regulator decreases the pump flow
rate. (Refer to the Control Valve group pages.) 0 Pump Control Pressure (Pi)

Control by Pump Delivery Pressure


The delivery pressure of both main pump 1 and
main pump 2 are routed to the regulator. When the
average pressure of the two pumps exceeds the
specified P-Q line, the regulator reduces both pump Flow Rate (Q) Pressure Increase
flow rates so that the pump performance is returned
Flow Rate Decrease
to the specified P-Q line. Thus, the engine is pro-
tected from overloads. The designed P-Q line has
been determined based on the two pump perform-
ance. Therefore, both pump flow rates are set to
almost equal value. Accordingly, the high pressure
pump is loaded heavier than the low pressure pump.
Then, the total output of the two pumps is equal to
the engine output (Total Horsepower Control). 0 Pressure (P)

Control by Pilot Pressure from Solenoid Valve Unit


(SD)
The MC (main controller) compares the engine tar-
get speed with the actual engine speed and sends Flow Rate (Q)
control signals to solenoid valve unit (SD).
The solenoid valve unit (SD) delivers the pilot oil
pressure in response to control signal from the MC
to the regulator. When the regulator receives the
pilot pressure, the regulator reduces the pump flow
rate (Speed Sensing [Horsepower Reduction] Con-
trol). (Refer to the Control System group pages.)

Main Circuit
1. The pressure oil from pump 1 flows to the travel

the 4-spool side control valve.
2. The pressure oil from pump 2 flows to the swing,
arm 1, boom 2, auxiliary, and the travel (left)
spools in the 5-spool side control valve.
3. The main circuits in both the 4 and 5-spool sec-
tions have parallel passages to make combined
operations possible.
4. An oil flow combining passage is provided in both
the boom and the arm circuits so that when a
single operation is made, the pressure oil from
both pump 1 and 2 is supplied to the boom or the
arm cylinder.
5. The pump control valves are provided down
stream of the neutral passages in both the 4 and
5 spool sections.
6. The oil pressure in the main circuit (between the
pump and the actuator) is controlled by the main
relief valve preventing the man circuit oil pres-
sure from increasing higher than the set pres-
sure.
7. The overload relief valves are located in the
boom, the arm and the bucket actuator circuits
between the control valve and the actuator.
The overload relief valve prevents the surge
pressure from being developed by the external
loads in the actuator circuit and prevents the
pressure in the circuit from rising more than the
set pressure when the control spool is in neutral.

COMPONENT OPERATION / Control Valve
PUMP CONTROL VALVE
The pump control valves are located down stream of
the neutral passages in both the 4 and 5-spool sec-
tions. (Refer to T3-3-9.)
The pump control pressure is regulated by the pump
control valve and is routed to the pump regulator to
control the pump displacement angle. (Refer to the
pump device group.)
The pump control pressure is monitored by the pump
control pressure sensor. Then, the sensing signals are
used to control the travel motor displacement angle.
(Refer to the Control System group in the SYSTEM
section.)

TRAVEL FLOW RATE CONTROL VALVE
When the travel and boom raise combined operation
is performed, the flow combiner valve is opened so
that the pressure oil from pump 1 flows to both right
and left travel motors and the pressure oil from pump
2 flows to boom 2 spool.
When traveling on a flat or down slope surface, the
travel motor load pressure becomes lower than the Travel (Left) Spool

COMPONENT OPERATION / Travel Device
Travel Operation
When supply oil from the main control valve is routed
to port P1, supply oil flows around spool CB, opens
check valve BC and is led to motor port BM. How-
ever, return oil from motor port AM is blocked by
spool CB in the counterbalance valve.
As supply oil pressure at port P1 increases, supply
oil is routed to chamber G through orifice F in spool
CB, moving spool CB down against spring force.
Consequently, return oil from motor port AM starts to
flow into port P2 through port AM and notch H in
spool CB, allowing the travel motor to rotate.

When the travel levers are returned to the neutral


position, the oil in both ports P1 and P2 are routed to
the hydraulic oil tank through the control valve. Thus,
oil pressure in chamber G decrease, and spool CB is
moved back to the original position by spring force.
Then, the oil flow circuits is blocked, causing the
travel motors to stop rotating.

Descending Operation
When the machine travels down a slope, the travel
motors are forcibly driven by the machine weight so
that the motor draws oil like a pump. When the motor
draws oil, oil pressure at port P1 and chamber G de-
crease, causing spool CB to move upwards to re-
strict return circuit from the motor.
Then, the return oil flow from the motor is restricted
by the spool, increasing pressure at port AM.
The increased pressure at port AM brakes the motor.
Thus, the restricted return oil flow from the travel
motor increases the pressure at port P1 again, mov-
ing spool CB back down. This repeated movement of
the spool (hydraulic brake action) prevents the ma-
chine from overrunning.

position), the pilot pressure oil from the pilot pump
flows through the pilot shut-off valve, and is routed to
the shockless valve.
Then, the pilot pressure oil is restricted, and is
heated by the orifice provided at the inlet port of the
shockless valve. As the warmed up pilot oil is then
routed to the shockless valve and pilot valve, the
components in the pilot system are warmed.

COMPONENT OPERATION / Others (Upperstructure)
SOLENOID VALVE UNIT
The solenoid valve unit controls the control valve,
travel motor swash angle control servo piston, and
pump regulator by delivering pilot signal pressure oil
in response to electrical signals from the MC.
The solenoid valve unit consists of 3 proportional
solenoid valves (SC, SI, and SG.). (Refer to the
Control System and Electrical System group in the
SYSTEM section.)
SC
SC : Controls the arm regenerative valve in the
control valve.
SI : Controls the travel speed shift valve. SI
SG : Increases the set relief pressure of the main SG
relief valve in the control valve.

COMPONENT OPERATION / Others (Upperstructure)
Proportional Solenoid Valve
The proportional solenoid valve is controlled by a
current signal from the MC, and delivers the oil
pressure in proportion to the current signal value.

When in neutral:
Spool (1) is pushed to the right by spring (2),
opening delivery port S to tank port T.

When activated:
Solenoid (3) pushes spool (1) to the left with force
in proportion to the current signal which flows
through solenoid (3). Then, pilot pressure oil is
routed from port P to delivery port S so that
pressure in delivery port S increases.
Pressure in delivery port S acts on the stepped
flanges in section (a). Due to the difference in area
of the flanges, spool (1) is pushed to the right.
When pressure force to push spool (1) to the right
increases more than solenoid (3) force to push
spool (1) to the left, spool (1) is returned to the right
side, closing the passage between delivery port S
and port P so that pressure in delivery port S stops
increasing.

(Speed Sensing Control)
SB: Controls the pump regulator.
(Pump 2 Flow Rate Control)

The torque control solenoid valve supplies torque Pilot Filter


control pressure Pps to the regulators of pump 1
and pump 2, reducing the pump delivery flow.
The pump 2 flow rate control solenoid valve
reduces the pump control pressure to the regulator
of pump 2, controlling the maximum limit of the T1HH-03-06-003

pump 2 delivery flow.

Operation:
1. In the neutral position, port P is connected to the
output port via the notch on the spool.
2. When the current from MC (Main Controller)
flows to the solenoid, the solenoid pushes spring
1.
3. As spring 1 pushes the spool, the output port is
connected to port T via the notch on the spool,
reducing the pressure in the output port.
4. The left diameter (A) is larger than the right
diameter (B) of the spool notch, so the spool is
moved back to the left.
5. When the notches on the spool and the sleeve
come in contact with each other, the spool stops
moving and the pressure in the output port stops
decreasing.

passage a by blocking with the spool.
4. As a result, the cylinder pressure at cylinder port

any hose at the front attachment is punctured,
the front attachment is held in position to avoid
unintended lowering.

1. When moving the boom lower control lever at half
stroke or less, the pilot pressure Pi acts on the Chamber a Passage c Passage b Relief
spool, and makes the spool move to the orifice B Valve
position.
