Hydraulic control system for work machine
An object of the present invention is to provide a hydraulic control system for a work machine that is capable of reducing the loss caused by flow division while reducing a decrease in the speed of a hydraulic actuator due to a combined operation. The hydraulic control system for a work machine includes a first hydraulic actuator, one hydraulic pump, a second hydraulic actuator, and another hydraulic pump. The hydraulic control system further includes operating instruction detection means and pump flow control means. The operating instruction detection means detects that operating instructions are issued to the first hydraulic actuator and the second hydraulic actuator. The pump flow control means individually adjusts the delivery flow rate of the one hydraulic pump and the another hydraulic pump in accordance with operation amounts designated by the operating instructions for the first and second hydraulic actuators. When the first and second hydraulic actuators are simultaneously operated, the pump flow control means increases the delivery flow rate of the one hydraulic pump to a higher rate than when the first hydraulic actuator is operated and the second hydraulic actuator is not operated.
1. A work machine, comprising:
a first hydraulic actuator;
one hydraulic pump that is capable of supplying hydraulic fluid to the first hydraulic actuator through a first hydraulic actuator primary spool;
a second hydraulic actuator;
another hydraulic pump that is capable of supplying hydraulic fluid to the second hydraulic actuator through a second hydraulic actuator primary spool;
a first hydraulic actuator secondary spool that is capable of placing the first hydraulic actuator in communication with the another hydraulic pump;
operating instruction detection means that detects an issuance of operating instructions to the first and second hydraulic actuators; and
pump flow control means that is capable of adjusting the delivery flow rate of the one hydraulic pump and the delivery flow rate of the another hydraulic pump on an individual basis in accordance with operation amounts designated by the operating instructions for the first and second hydraulic actuators, the operating instructions being detected by the operating instruction detection means,
wherein, when the first and second hydraulic actuators are operated in combination after an independent operation of the first hydraulic actuator, the pump flow control means increases a target flow rate to be supplied to the first hydraulic actuator primary spool and decreases a target flow rate to be supplied to the first hydraulic actuator secondary spool, and increases the delivery flow rate of the one hydraulic pump based on the increased target flow rate and decreases the delivery flow rate of the another hydraulic pump based on the decreased target flow rate.
2. The work machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
communication control means that is capable of adjusting an opening for communication between the first hydraulic actuator and the another hydraulic pump;
wherein the communication control means interrupts the communication opening when the first and second hydraulic actuators are operated in combination.
3. The work machine according to claim 2 , wherein the first hydraulic actuator is a boom cylinder, and the second hydraulic actuator is an arm cylinder or a bucket cylinder.

a second hydraulic actuator;
another hydraulic pump that is capable of supplying hydraulic fluid to the second hydraulic actuator through a second hydraulic actuator primary spool;
a first hydraulic actuator secondary spool that is capable of placing the first hydraulic actuator in communication with the another hydraulic pump;
operating instruction detection means that detects an issuance of operating instructions to the first and second hydraulic actuators;
pump flow control means that is capable of adjusting the delivery flow rate of the one hydraulic pump and the delivery flow rate of the another hydraulic pump on an individual basis in accordance with operation amounts designated by the operating instructions for the first and second hydraulic actuators, the operating instructions being detected by the operating instruction detection means; and
communication control means that is capable of adjusting an opening for communication between the first hydraulic actuator and the another hydraulic pump,
wherein, when the first and second hydraulic actuators are operated in combination, the pump flow control means increases the delivery flow rate of the one hydraulic pump to a higher rate than when the first hydraulic actuator is operated and the second hydraulic actuator is not operated,
wherein the communication control means interrupts the communication opening when the first and second hydraulic actuators are operated in combination,
wherein the first hydraulic actuator is a boom cylinder, and
wherein the second hydraulic actuator is an arm cylinder or a bucket cylinder.
