Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a closed circuit hydraulic system for a construction machine including a plurality of actuators and a plurality of hydraulic pumps selectively supplying working oil to the plurality of actuators bidirectionally and the closed circuit hydraulic system includes: a charge line selectively connected with a low-pressure side hydraulic line which returns to the hydraulic pump from the actuator among hydraulic lines connecting the hydraulic pumps and the actuators; a charge pump supplying a supplement flow to the charge line; and a variable relief valve selectively changing a normal mode to limit a pressure of the charge line to a predetermined pressure or less and a boost mode to limit the pressure of the charge line to a pressure lower than the pressure of the charge line in the normal mode.

Claims (10)

1. A closed circuit hydraulic system for a construction machine including a plurality of actuators and a plurality of hydraulic pumps selectively supplying working oil to the plurality of actuators bidirectionally, the system comprising:

a charge line selectively connected with a low-pressure side hydraulic line which returns to the hydraulic pump from the actuator among hydraulic lines connecting the hydraulic pumps and the actuators;

a charge pump supplying a supplement flow to the charge line;

a variable relief valve selectively changing a normal mode to limit a pressure of the charge line to a predetermined pressure or less and a boost mode to limit the pressure of the charge line to a pressure lower than the pressure of the charge line in the normal mode;

a pair of pilot check valves installed on the hydraulic lines in parallel so that the low-pressure side hydraulic line is in communication with the charge line by receiving a pilot signal from a high-pressure side hydraulic line among the hydraulic lines; and

an accumulator provided on the charge line and storing an excessive flow among the supplement flow discharged from the charge pump or supplying an insufficient flow to the hydraulic lines connecting the hydraulic pumps and the actuators,

wherein the accumulator includes a first accumulator storing the excessive flow among the supplement flow discharged from the charge pump or supplying the insufficient flow to the hydraulic line in the normal mode, and

a second accumulator storing the excessive flow among the supplement flow discharged from the charge pump or supplying the insufficient flow to the hydraulic line in the boost mode, and having a lower discharge pressure than the first accumulator.

2. The closed circuit hydraulic system for a construction machine of claim 1 , further comprising:

a direction switch valve controlled by the control unit so as to supply the supplement flow discharged from the charge pump to the first accumulator or the second accumulator.
