Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The unload circuit includes a pump oil passage that connects between a hydraulic pump and a direction control valve, a tank oil passage that connects between the direction control valve and a hydraulic tank, a pressure compensating flow control valve interposed between the pump oil passage and the tank oil passage, a pilot operated relief valve interposed between the pump oil passage and the tank oil passage, and an unloading solenoid valve interposed in a vent oil passage of the pilot operated relief valve. The failure diagnosis device includes a pressure sensor that measures a pressure of the pump oil passage, and a controller that receives a pressure signal from the pressure sensor. The controller performs failure diagnosis of the unload circuit based on a differential pressure between a first pump oil passage pressure during unloading and a second pump oil passage pressure during on-loading.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A failure diagnosis device for an unload circuit, the unload circuit including a pump oil passage that connects between a hydraulic pump and a direction control valve, a tank oil passage that connects between the direction control valve and a hydraulic tank, a pressure compensating flow control valve interposed between the pump oil passage and the tank oil passage, a pilot operated relief valve interposed between the pump oil passage and the tank oil passage, and an unloading solenoid valve interposed in a vent oil passage of the pilot operated relief valve, the failure diagnosis device comprising: a pressure sensor that measures a pressure of the pump oil passage; and a controller that receives a pressure signal from the pressure sensor, wherein the controller performs failure diagnosis of the unload circuit based on a differential pressure between a first pump oil passage pressure during unloading and a second pump oil passage pressure during on-loading. 2 . The failure diagnosis device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller diagnoses that the unload circuit is failed when the differential pressure is equal to or less than a predetermined value. 3 . The failure diagnosis device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller performs failure diagnosis of the unload circuit on condition that the hydraulic pump starts to be driven. 4 . The failure diagnosis device according to claim 3 , wherein the hydraulic pump is driven via a power take-off (PTO), and the controller performs failure diagnosis of the unload circuit based on a differential pressure between the first pump oil passage pressure after an unloaded state is maintained for a predetermined time and the second pump oil passage pressure after switching to an on-load state after the hydraulic pump starts to be driven.
