Abstract
Abstract A hydraulic fluid circuit of a hydraulic shovel including a first directional control valve group connected to a first hydraulic pump and including a first directional control valve and a second directional control valve respectively connected to a first hydraulic cylinder and a second hydraulic cylinder. A second directional control valve group, connected to a second hydraulic pump, includes a third directional control valve having a first working port connected to one cylinder chamber of the first hydraulic cylinder and a second working port connected to one cylinder chamber of the second hydraulic cylinder. A switching device in the hydraulic fluid circuit is operative, when the first directional control valve is in a first position to switch the third directional control valve to a first position for supplying hydraulic fluid from the second hydraulic pump to the first hydraulic cylinder through the first working port, and also operative, when the second directional control valve is in a second position, to switch the third directional control valve to a second position for supplying hydraulic fluid from the second hydraulic pump to the second hydraulic cylinder through the second working port.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
400 words
A hydraulic fluid circuit for a hydraulic shovel, the hydraulic fluid circuit comprising: a first hydraulic pump, a second hydraulic pump, a first directional control valve group connected to said first hydraulic pump including a first directional control valve connected to a first hydraulic cylinder, and a second directional control valve connected to a second hydraulic cylinder, a second directional control valve group connected to said second hydraulic pump including a third directional control valve having a first working port connected to one cylinder chamber of said first hydraulic cylinder and a second working port connected to one cylinder chamber of said second hydraulic cylinder, and a first pilot line means for introducing a first pilot pressure to said first directional control valve so as to switch said first directional control valve to a position in which hydraulic fluid from said first hydraulic pump is supplied to said one cylinder chamber of said first hydraulic cylinder and for introducing the first pilot pressure to a first pilot port for switching said third directional control valve to a first position in which hydraulic fluid from said second hydraulic pump is supplied to said first working port, a second pilot line means for introducing a second pilot pressure to said second directional control valve so as to switch said second directional control valve to a position in which hydraulic fluid from said first hydraulic pump is supplied to said one cylinder chamber of said second hydraulic cylinder and for introducing the second pilot pressure to a second pilot port for switching said third directional control valve to a second position in which working fluid from said second hydraulic pump is supplied to said second working port, and a change-over valve means mounted in a line of said second pilot line means, said first pilot line means including a pilot line actuating said change-over valve means such that, when said first pilot pressure is not generated, said change-over valve means introduces said second pilot pressure to the second pilot port of said third directional control valve by communicating said line of said second pilot line means with said third directional control valve, and, when said first pilot pressure is generated, said pilot line means is operable to actuate said change-over valve means to a position blocking said line of said second pilot line means and communicating said second pilot port to a tank.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
400 words
A hydraulic fluid circuit for a hydraulic shovel, the hydraulic fluid circuit comprising: a first hydraulic pump, a second hydraulic pump, a first directional control valve group connected to said first hydraulic pump including a first directional control valve connected to a first hydraulic cylinder, and a second directional control valve connected to a second hydraulic cylinder, a second directional control valve group connected to said second hydraulic pump including a third directional control valve having a first working port connected to one cylinder chamber of said first hydraulic cylinder and a second working port connected to one cylinder chamber of said second hydraulic cylinder, and a first pilot line means for introducing a first pilot pressure to said first directional control valve so as to switch said first directional control valve to a position in which hydraulic fluid from said first hydraulic pump is supplied to said one cylinder chamber of said first hydraulic cylinder and for introducing the first pilot pressure to a first pilot port for switching said third directional control valve to a first position in which hydraulic fluid from said second hydraulic pump is supplied to said first working port, a second pilot line means for introducing a second pilot pressure to said second directional control valve so as to switch said second directional control valve to a position in which hydraulic fluid from said first hydraulic pump is supplied to said one cylinder chamber of said second hydraulic cylinder and for introducing the second pilot pressure to a second pilot port for switching said third directional control valve to a second position in which working fluid from said second hydraulic pump is supplied to said second working port, and a change-over valve means mounted in a line of said second pilot line means, said first pilot line means including a pilot line actuating said change-over valve means such that, when said first pilot pressure is not generated, said change-over valve means introduces said second pilot pressure to the second pilot port of said third directional control valve by communicating said line of said second pilot line means with said third directional control valve, and, when said first pilot pressure is generated, said pilot line means is operable to actuate said change-over valve means to a position blocking said line of said second pilot line means and communicating said second pilot port to a tank.
