Abstract

A hydraulic system includes a first hydraulic device, a second hydraulic device, a first control valve to control the first hydraulic device, a second control valve disposed on a downstream side of the first control valve and configured to control the second hydraulic device, a communication tube connecting the first hydraulic device to the first control valve, a supply fluid tube connecting the first control valve to the second control valve, a connection fluid tube disposed on the first control valve, the connection fluid tube connecting the communication tube to the supply fluid tube, a discharge fluid tube connected to the first control valve, a setting portion disposed on the discharge fluid tube and configured to increase a pressure in the discharge fluid tube, a branching fluid tube branched from the connection fluid tube and connected to the discharge fluid tube, and a throttle disposed on the branching fluid tube.

Claims (27)

1. A hydraulic system of a working machine comprising:

a hydraulic pump to output an operation fluid;

a first hydraulic actuator;

a second hydraulic actuator;

a first control valve to control the first hydraulic actuator, the first control valve including a first input port, a second input port, a first output port, a second output port, a third output port, a first internal fluid tube and a second internal fluid tube;

a second control valve to control the second hydraulic actuator; and

an external fluid tube to connect the first output port and the second output port to the third output port, wherein

the first control valve is switched from a neutral position to a first position or a second position,

the first control valve is configured, at the first position, to allow the operation fluid from the hydraulic pump to flow into the first hydraulic actuator through the first input port, and to allow the operation fluid from the first hydraulic actuator to flow back to the first input port through the first internal fluid tube, the external fluid tube, the third output port and the second internal fluid tube.

2. The hydraulic system according to claim 1 , wherein

the first control valve is configured, at the neutral position, to allow the operation fluid from the hydraulic pump to flow into the second control valve through the first control valve.

3. The hydraulic system according to claim 1 , wherein

the first control valve is configured, at the second position, to allow the operation fluid from the hydraulic pump to flow into the first hydraulic actuator through the second input port, and to allow the operation fluid from the first hydraulic actuator to flow into the second control valve through the second output port and the external fluid tube.

4. The hydraulic system according to claim 1 , wherein

the first control valve further includes a third input port, a first actuator port, a second actuator port, a central internal fluid tube, a third internal fluid tube, a fourth internal fluid tube and a fifth internal fluid tube.

5. The hydraulic system according to claim 4 , wherein

the first control valve is configured, at the first position, to allow the operation fluid from the hydraulic pump to flow into the first hydraulic actuator through the first input port, the third internal fluid tube and the second actuator port, and to allow the operation fluid from the first hydraulic actuator to flow back to the first input port through the first actuator port, the first internal fluid tube, the external fluid tube, the third output port, the second internal fluid tube and the third input port.

6. The hydraulic system according to claim 4 , wherein

the first control valve is configured, at the neutral position, to allow the operation fluid from the hydraulic pump to flow into the second control valve through the third input port, the central internal fluid tube and the third output port.

7. The hydraulic system according to claim 4 , wherein

the first control valve is configured, at the second position, to allow the operation fluid from the hydraulic pump to flow into the first hydraulic actuator through the second input port, the fourth internal fluid tube and the first actuator port, and to allow the operation fluid from the first hydraulic actuator to flow into the second control valve through the second actuator port, the fifth internal fluid tube, the second output port and the external fluid tube.

8. The hydraulic system according to claim 1 , wherein

the second internal fluid tube is provided with a throttle.

9. The hydraulic system according to claim 1 , wherein

the first hydraulic actuator is a boom cylinder configured to move a boom, and

the second hydraulic actuator is a bucket cylinder configured to move a bucket.

10. The hydraulic system according to claim 1 , further comprising a pressure increasing portion to increase a pressure of the operation fluid in the first internal fluid tube and the external fluid tube.
