Abstract

A shovel may be provided with a main pump, hydraulic actuators including a swing hydraulic motor, a control valve that controls a flow of a working oil between the main pump and the hydraulic actuators, and an accumulator part that releases the working oil between the main pump and the control valve, and between the swing hydraulic motor and the control valve. The accumulator part may release the working oil at an upstream of the main pump.

Claims (25)

1. A shovel comprising:

a main pump;

hydraulic actuators including a swing hydraulic motor;

a control valve configured to control a flow of a working oil between the main pump and the hydraulic actuators;

an accumulator part configured to release the working oil between the main pump and the control valve, and between the swing hydraulic motor and the control valve; and

a selector valve provided in a line that connects the accumulator part and a junction point between the main pump and the control valve,

wherein, during operation of a hydraulic actuator other than the swing hydraulic motor, the selector valve assumes a communicating valve position, and the accumulator part releases the working oil between the main pump and the control valve.

2. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the accumulator part accumulates the working oil of the swing hydraulic motor flowing from between the swing hydraulic motor and the control valve, during a swing deceleration.

3. The shovel as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the selector valve assumes a blocking valve position when a pressure of the working oil accumulated in the accumulator part is lower than a pressure of a driving side of a hydraulic actuator other than the swing hydraulic motor.

4. The shovel as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the accumulator part releases the working oil between the swing hydraulic motor and the control valve, during a swing acceleration.

5. The shovel as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the accumulator part is formed by a plurality of accumulators.

6. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the selector valve assumes a blocking valve position when a pressure of the working oil accumulated in the accumulator part is lower than a pressure of a driving side of a hydraulic actuator other than the swing hydraulic motor.

7. The shovel as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the accumulator part releases the working oil between the swing hydraulic motor and the control valve, during a swing acceleration.

8. The shovel as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the accumulator part is formed by a plurality of accumulators.

9. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the accumulator part releases the working oil between the swing hydraulic motor and the control valve, during a swing acceleration.

10. The shovel as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the accumulator part is forming by a plurality of accumulators.

11. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the accumulator part is formed by a plurality of accumulators.

12. The shovel as claimed in claim 11 , wherein one of the plurality of accumulators accumulates or releases the working oil at a timing different from another one of the plurality of accumulators.

13. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the accumulator part can release the working oil at an upstream of the main pump.

14. A shovel comprising:

a main pump;

hydraulic actuators including a swing hydraulic motor;

a control valve configured to control a flow of a working oil between the main pump and the hydraulic actuators; and

an accumulator part configured to release the working oil between the main pump and the control valve, and between the swing hydraulic motor and the control valve,

wherein the accumulator part releases the working oil between the main pump and the control valve, during operation of a hydraulic actuator other than the swing hydraulic motor.
