Abstract

A hydraulic driving device includes: a hydraulic motor configured to operate by flushing oil from a hydraulic pump through a high pressure oil passage and a low pressure oil passage; a low pressure selective valve configured to operate in accordance with differential pressure between the high pressure oil passage and the low pressure oil passage, and to discharge the oil in the low pressure oil passage inside a motor case; a tank oil passage configured to connect the inside of the motor case with an oil tank; and a choke throttle provided to the low pressure selective valve or to an oil passage lower than the low pressure selective valve.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hydraulic driving device comprising:
a hydraulic motor configured to operate by flushing oil from a hydraulic pump through a high pressure oil passage and a low pressure oil passage;
a low pressure selective valve configured to operate in accordance with differential pressure between the high pressure oil passage and the low pressure oil passage, and to discharge the oil in the low pressure oil passage inside a motor case; wherein the low pressure selective tank includes a spool,
a tank oil passage configured to connect the inside of the motor case with an oil tank; and
a choke throttle being provided within the low pressure selective valve and disposed substantially coaxially and symmetrically to a central horizontal axis of the spool, wherein the spool includes a first annular recess portion, a second annular recess portion, a first center hole, and a second center hole, the first center hole and the second center hole being extended along a central axis of the spool to respective positions of the first annular recess portion and the second annular recess portion and with a uniform diameter, the first center hole and the second center hole being in fluid communication with the first annular recess portion and the second annular recess portion, respectively, the first annular recess portion and the second annular recess portion being in fluid communication with the high pressure oil passage and the low pressure oil passage, respectively.

2. The hydraulic driving device according to claim 1 , wherein
the high pressure oil passage supplies oil discharged from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic motor, and the low pressure oil passage is connected so as to flow back the oil discharged from the hydraulic motor to the hydraulic pump, and is included in a closed circuit which circulatively supplies the oil between the hydraulic motor and the hydraulic pump together with the high pressure oil passage.

3. A hydraulic driving device for a wheel loader, the hydraulic driving device comprising:
a hydraulic motor configured to operate by flushing oil from a hydraulic pump through a high pressure oil passage and a low pressure oil passage;
a low pressure selective valve configured to operate in accordance with differential pressure between the high pressure oil passage and the low pressure oil passage, and to discharge the oil in the low pressure oil passage inside a motor case; wherein the low pressure selective valve includes a spool,
a tank oil passage configured to connect the inside of the motor case with an oil tank; and
a choke throttle being provided within the low pressure selective valve and disposed substantially symmetrically to a central axis of the spool, 1 , wherein the spool includes a first annular recess portion, a second annular recess portion, a first center hole, and a second center hole, the first center hole and the second center hole being extended along a central axis of the spool to respective positions of the first annular recess portion and the second annular recess portion and with a uniform diameter, the first center hole and the second center hole being in fluid communication with the first annular recess portion and the second annular recess portion, respectively, the first annular recess portion and the second annular recess portion being in fluid communication with the high pressure oil passage and the low pressure oil passage, respectively;
wherein the choke throttle is an annular gap flow that satisfies the following formula.
0 <(δ^2)· d/L< 2.5

where δ=(D−d)/2, “D” represents a choke external diameter, “d” represents a choke internal diameter, and “L” represents a choke length.

4. The hydraulic driving device according to claim 1 , wherein the choke throttle is a cylindrical gap flow that satisfies the following formula.
0 <( d^ 4)/ L< 1.6

where “d” represents a choke internal diameter, while “L” represents a choke length.
