Abstract

A hydraulic system for a work machine includes an operation member, a prime mover, a hydraulic pump driven by the prime mover, the hydraulic pump configured to output an operation fluid, a first temperature sensor to measure a temperature of the operation fluid, a first fluid tube connected to the hydraulic pump, an operation valve connected to the first fluid tube, the operation valve configured to control, in accordance with an operation extent of the operation member, a pressure of the outputted operation fluid, a hydraulic apparatus driven by the operation fluid outputted from the operation valve, a second hydraulic tube connecting the operation valve to the hydraulic apparatus, a discharge fluid tube to discharge the operation fluid included in the second fluid tube; and an actuation valve disposed on the discharge fluid tube, the actuation valve configured to control an aperture of the actuation valve based on the temperature.

Claims (18)

1. A hydraulic system for a work machine comprising:

an operation member;

a prime mover;

a hydraulic pump to be driven by the prime mover, the hydraulic pump being configured to output an operation fluid;

a first temperature sensor to measure a temperature of the operation fluid;

a first fluid tube connected to the hydraulic pump;

an operation valve connected to the first fluid tube, the operation valve being configured to control, in accordance with an operation extent of the operation member, a pressure of the operation fluid to be outputted;

a hydraulic apparatus to be driven by the operation fluid outputted from the operation valve;

a second hydraulic tube connecting the operation valve to the hydraulic apparatus;

a discharge fluid tube to discharge the operation fluid included in the second fluid tube; and

an actuation valve disposed on the discharge fluid tube, the actuation valve being configured to control an aperture of the actuation valve based on the temperature.

2. The hydraulic system according to claim 1 , comprising

a throttle disposed between the operation valve and a connecting portion connecting the second fluid tube and the discharge fluid tube to each other.

3. The hydraulic system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the actuation valve is opened when the temperature measured by the first temperature sensor is equal to a predetermined temperature or less.

4. The hydraulic system according to claim 1 , comprising

a second temperature sensor to measure a temperature of an outside air,

wherein the actuation valve is opened when the temperature of the operation fluid is equal to a predetermined temperature or less and the temperature measured by the second temperature sensor is equal to a predetermined temperature or less.
