Cooling device for construction machinery
View Patent ↗A cooling device of a construction machine according to the present invention includes: two or more hydraulic motors that rotate positively and reversibly to correspond to a supplying direction of pressure oil and drives rotatably cooling fans connected thereto, respectively; a switching valve switching rotation directions of the two or more hydraulic motors by switching the supplying direction of the pressure oil supplied to the two or more hydraulic motors from the hydraulic motor; and flow rate makeup valves controlling an additional flow supplied upstream of the two or more hydraulic motors when a pressure drop is generated upstream of the two or more hydraulic motors on the basis of the supplying direction of the pressure oil.
1. A cooling device for a construction machine, comprising:
two or more hydraulic motors that rotate positively and reversibly to correspond to a supplying direction of pressure oil and drives rotatably cooling fans connected thereto, respectively;
a switching valve switching rotation directions of the two or more hydraulic motors and by switching the supplying direction of the pressure oil supplied to the two or more hydraulic motors from a hydraulic pump; and
two or more flow rate makeup valves controlling an additional flow supplied upstream of the two or more hydraulic motors when a pressure drop is generated upstream of the two or more hydraulic motors on the basis of the supplying direction of the pressure oil;
wherein the flow rate makeup valves make up the flow to each pressure drop region of the two or more hydraulic motors;
wherein the two or more flow rate makeup valves receive the flow from an oil tank;
at least one of the two or more flow rate makeup valves is installed on a hydraulic line L 4 connecting a hydraulic line L 1 , which connects the switching valve with the hydraulic pump, with the oil tank; and
at least the other of the two or more flow rate makeup valves is installed on a hydraulic line L 5 connecting the two or more hydraulic motors with the oil tank.
2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a hydraulic line L 2 guiding the pressure oil drained from the switching valve to the oil tank,
wherein the hydraulic line L 4 on which at least one of the two or more flow rate makeup valves is installed is the hydraulic line connecting the hydraulic line L 2 , which connects the oil tank with the switching valve, and the hydraulic line L 1 connecting the switching valve with the hydraulic pump.
3. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
the hydraulic line L 2 guiding the pressure oil drained from the switching valve to the oil tank,
wherein the hydraulic line L 5 on which at least one of the two or more flow rate makeup valves is installed connects the hydraulic line L 2 , which connects the oil tank with the switching valve, and a hydraulic line L 3 connecting the two or more hydraulic motors to each other.
4. The device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a controller configured to change the rotation directions of the two or more hydraulic motors when a contamination level of the radiator is higher than a predetermined level or when a predetermined time interval is elapsed or when receives a signal by operating to a certain switch.
