Abstract

To provide a hydraulic driving device configured to smoothly extend a hydraulic cylinder. The present invention includes the open circuit E, the closed circuit A, a control device 57 , and a control lever 56 a . The open circuit E is provided with a flow passage 202 for connecting an outlet port of the open circuit pump 13 and a head chamber 1 a of the boom cylinder 1 , a selector valve 44 a provided in the flow passage 202 , a discharge flow passage 404 for connecting a hydraulic fluid tank 25 and a flow passage 200 , and a bleed-off valve 64 provided in the discharge flow passage 404 . The control device 57 is configured in such a manner that when a manipulate signal for extending the boom cylinder 1 is input from the control lever 56 a , the bleed-off valve 64 is closed, the selector valve 44 a is subsequently opened, and the open circuit pump 13 is controlled.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A hydraulic driving system comprising:
a closed circuit pump that has two inlet and outlet ports;
a single rod hydraulic cylinder that has a head chamber and a rod chamber;
an open circuit pump that has an inlet port for allowing hydraulic fluid to flow in from a hydraulic fluid tank and an outlet port for allowing the hydraulic fluid to flow out;
a first flow passage that connects the outlet port of the open circuit pump and the head chamber of the single rod hydraulic cylinder;
a first opening and closing device that is provided in the first flow passage;
a second flow passage that is connected to the first flow passage and returns the hydraulic fluid led to flow out of the outlet port of the open circuit pump to the hydraulic fluid tank;
a second opening and closing device that is provided in the second flow passage;
an operating device that outputs a command signal of extension and retraction of the single rod hydraulic cylinder corresponding to manipulation by an operator; and
a control device that controls the closed circuit pump, the open circuit pump, the first opening and closing device, and the second opening and closing device based on the command signal outputted by the operating device,
wherein the control device includes a control signal generation unit that outputs a control signal to the first opening and closing device and the second opening and closing device, and a time difference calculation unit that calculates a time difference from a time when the control signal generation unit outputs a control signal to the second opening and closing device until a time when the control signal generation unit outputs a control signal to the first opening and closing device, and
wherein when an operation for extending the single rod hydraulic cylinder is performed,
the control signal generation unit outputs the control signal so as to close the second opening and closing device in a state in which the open circuit pump is outflowing the hydraulic fluid, and
the control signal generation unit outputs the control signal so as to open the first opening and closing device after the time calculated by the time difference calculation unit has elapsed.

2. The hydraulic driving system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the control device is configured in such a manner that when an operation for retracting the single rod hydraulic cylinder is performed, the second opening and closing device is closed temporarily, next the first and second opening and closing devices are respectively opened, and the closed circuit pump is subsequently controlled.

3. The hydraulic driving system according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a pressure sensor for detecting the pressure of the hydraulic fluid in the head chamber,
wherein the time difference calculation unit calculates the time difference based on the pressure of the hydraulic fluid in the head chamber detected by the pressure sensor.

4. The hydraulic driving system according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first opening and closing device is opened when pressure of the hydraulic fluid in a circuit between the first opening and closing device and the open circuit pump is higher than pressure of the hydraulic fluid introduced into the head chamber of the single rod hydraulic cylinder.
