Abstract

A traveling and turning device for a construction machine is provided, which includes a left driving motor and a right driving motor driven by hydraulic fluid, a left main control valve and a right main control valve controlling movement of the left driving motor and the right driving motor, respectively, and a left pedal and a right pedal adjusting the operation state of the left main control valve and the right main control valve, respectively. One of the left pedal and the right pedal enables the construction machine to make forward and backward movement by simultaneously applying pressure to a left side of a spool of the left main control valve and a left side of a spool of the right main control valve or by simultaneously applying pressure to a right side of the spool of the left main control valve and a right side of the spool of the right main control valve, and the other of the left pedal and the right pedal enables the construction machine to make turning movement by simultaneously applying pressure to the left side of the spool of the left main control valve and the right side of the spool of the right main control valve or by simultaneously applying pressure to the right side of the spool of the left main control valve and the left side of the spool of the right main control valve.

Claims (7)

1. A traveling and turning device for a construction machine, comprising:

a left driving motor and a right driving motor driven by hydraulic fluid;

a left main control valve and a right main control valve controlling movement of the left driving motor and the right driving motor, respectively; and

a left pedal and a right pedal adjusting the operation state of the left main control valve and the right main control valve, respectively;

wherein one of the left pedal and the right pedal enables the construction machine to make forward and backward movement by simultaneously applying pressure to a left side of a spool of the left main control valve and a left side of a spool of the right main control valve, or by simultaneously applying pressure to a right side of the spool of the left main control valve and a right side of the spool of the right main control valve; and

wherein the other of the left pedal and the right pedal enables the construction machine to make turning movement by simultaneously applying pressure to the left side of the spool of the left main control valve and the right side of the spool of the right main control valve, or by simultaneously applying pressure to the right side of the spool of the left main control valve and the left side of the spool of the right main control valve.

2. The traveling and turning device according to claim 1 , wherein pressure of hydraulic fluid is controlled according to a manipulation distance of the left pedal and the right pedal to adjust traveling and turning speeds of the construction machine.
