Abstract

A braking system of an industrial vehicle includes an accumulator accumulating hydraulic oil, a hydraulic oil cooler cooling the hydraulic oil, an electromagnetic switch valve switching between an oil channel for the accumulator that allows supplying the hydraulic oil from a hydraulic pump to the accumulator and an oil channel for the hydraulic cooler that allows supplying the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic oil cooler, and a controller controlling the electromagnetic switch valve to switch from the oil channel for the hydraulic cooler to the oil channel for the accumulator with timing of an increase after a drop in an engine speed when a cargo-handling operation is detected while an oil is at a setting pressure value or less and while the engine speed is at a setting engine speed or less.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A braking system of an industrial vehicle having an engine and a working apparatus, the braking system comprising:
a braking operation section;
a brake apparatus driven by hydraulic oil;
a hydraulic pump driven by the engine and discharging the hydraulic oil;
an accumulator accumulating the hydraulic oil discharged from the hydraulic pump;
a brake valve controlling the hydraulic oil supplied from the accumulator to the brake apparatus according to operation of the braking operation section;
a hydraulic oil cooler cooling the hydraulic oil discharged from the hydraulic pump;
a cooling channel cooling the brake apparatus by supplying the hydraulic oil cooled by the hydraulic oil cooler to the brake apparatus;
an electromagnetic switch valve switching between a first oil channel that allows supplying the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump to the accumulator and a second oil channel that allows supplying the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic oil cooler;
a pressure detector detecting an oil pressure in the accumulator;
an engine speed detector detecting an engine speed of the engine;
a detecting section detecting operation of the working apparatus; and
a controlling section controlling the electromagnetic switch valve to switch from the second oil channel to the first oil channel with timing of an increase in the engine speed of the engine after a drop in the engine speed under the operation of the working apparatus, when the detecting section detects the operation of the working apparatus while the oil pressure in the accumulator detected by the pressure detector is at a setting pressure value or less and while the engine speed of the engine detected by the engine speed detector is at a setting engine speed or less.

2. The braking system according to claim 1 , wherein
the setting engine speed is an idling engine speed, and
the controlling section controls the electromagnetic switch valve to switch from the second oil channel to the first oil channel with timing at which the engine speed of the engine is increased to exceed the idling engine speed after the drop in the engine speed under the operation of the working apparatus.

3. The braking system according to claim 1 , wherein
the industrial vehicle includes a work operating section activating the working apparatus, and
the detecting section detects the operation of the working apparatus by detecting a manipulated state of the work operating section.
