Abstract

A hydraulic system for a working machine, includes a first hydraulic pump to output an operation fluid, a hydraulic device to be operated by the operation fluid, an operation member to be operated, a control valve to control the hydraulic device based on an operation extent of the operation member, a holding member to set a held operation extent that is the operation extent held in the operation of the operation member, and a pedal to be operated to change the held operation extent set by the holding member.

Claims (58)

1. A hydraulic system for a working machine, comprising:

a first hydraulic pump to output an operation fluid;

a hydraulic device to be operated by the operation fluid;

an operation member to be manually operated for changing an operation extent;

a switch to switch between a first operation that holds the operation extent to a predetermined held operation extent and a second operation that does not hold the operation extent to the held operation extent;

a pedal to be operated for changing the held operation extent upon the first operation of the switch;

a control valve to control the hydraulic device

based on the held operation extent when the switch is switched to the first operation and the held operation extent is not changed by the pedal,

based on the held operation extent after being changed by the pedal when the switch is switched to the first operation and the held operation extent is changed by the pedal, and

based on the operation extent when the switch is switched to the second operation.

2. The hydraulic system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a controller to control the control valve so that the control valve controls the hydraulic device based on the held operation extent after being changed by the pedal and thereby reduces a flow rate of the operation fluid that is supplied to the hydraulic device, when the switch is switched to the first operation and the held operation extent is changed by the pedal.

3. The hydraulic system according to claim 1 , comprising

a lamp to be lighted when the held operation extent is set.

4. A hydraulic system for a working machine comprising:

a first hydraulic pump to output an operation fluid;

a hydraulic device to be operated by the operation fluid;

an operation member to be manually operated for changing an operation extent;

a switch to switch between a first operation that holds the operation extent to a predetermined held operation extent and a second operation that does not hold the operation extent to the held operation extent;

a pedal to be operated, the pedal being other than the operation member;

a controller to change the held operation extent based on operation of the pedal; and

a control valve to control the hydraulic device

based on the held operation extent when the switch is switched to the first operation and the held operation extent is not changed by the pedal,

based on the held operation extent after being changed by the pedal when the switch is switched to the first operation and the held operation extent is changed by the pedal, and

based on the operation extent when the switch is switched to the second operation.

5. The hydraulic system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the controller controls the control valve so that the control valve controls the hydraulic device based on the held operation extent after being changed by the pedal and thereby reduces a flow rate of the operation fluid that is supplied to the hydraulic device, when the switch is switched to the first operation and the held operation extent is changed by the pedal.

6. The hydraulic system according to claim 5 , comprising

a lamp to be lighted when the held operation extent is set.

7. The hydraulic system according to claim 4 , comprising

a lamp to be lighted when the held operation extent is set.

8. A hydraulic system for a working machine comprising:

a first hydraulic pump to output an operation fluid;

a second hydraulic pump to output the operation fluid, the second hydraulic pump being other than the first hydraulic pump;

a hydraulic device to be operated by the operation fluid;

a first fluid tube connecting the hydraulic device to a control valve;

a second fluid tube connected to the second hydraulic pump and connected to the first fluid tube;

a switching valve arranged in the second fluid tube, the switching valve having a first position and a second position,

the first position blocking the operation fluid from flowing in the second fluid tube,

the second position allowing the operation fluid to flow in the second fluid tube;

a switching member to switch the switching valve between the first position and the second position; and

a pedal to switch the switching valve from the second position to the first position from a state in which the switching valve is held at the second position by operation of the switching member.

9. The hydraulic system according to claim 8 ,

wherein the switching valve is held at the second position when the switching member is operated.

10. A hydraulic system for a working machine comprising:

a first hydraulic pump to output an operation fluid;

a second hydraulic pump to output the operation fluid, the second hydraulic pump being other than the first hydraulic pump;

a hydraulic device to be operated by the operation fluid;

a first fluid tube connecting the hydraulic device to a control valve;

a second fluid tube connected to the second hydraulic pump and connected to the first fluid tube;

a switching valve arranged in the second fluid tube, the switching valve having a first position and a second position,

the first position blocking the operation fluid from flowing in the second fluid tube,

the second position allowing the operation fluid to flow in the second fluid tube;

a switching member to switch the switching valve between the first position and the second position; and

a pedal to be operated,

wherein a controller switches the switching valve from the second position to the first position when the pedal is operated under a state in which the switching valve is held at the second position by operation of the switching member.

11. The hydraulic system according to claim 10 ,

wherein the switching valve is held at the second position when the switching member is operated.
