Negative Control Circuit

Negative Control Power Save Circuit (power save solenoid ON):
The purpose of this control is to reduce fuel consumption during standby by reducing the back pressure for the
negative control signal.
When the remote control valve is set to neutral, the non-operation state signal enters the computer A from the upper
side pilot pressure sensor and the travel pilot pressure sensor installed on the control valve PT port and PA port.
After about one second, the power save solenoid valve is switched ON by the signal output from the computer A.
The pressurized oil from the control valve negative control relief valve Pn1 and Pn2 ports goes through the power
save solenoid valve and returns to the hydraulic oil tank.
Therefore, the negative control relief valve set pressure is switched to low pressure to further reduce the A1 and A2
pump discharge pressure.
With the system running this way, the negative control signal is cut off and the P1 and P2 pump discharged volume
quantity increases.
The discharged oil from pilot pump A3 enters the 5-stack solenoid valve P port, flows through the power save
solenoid valve, is fed to the hydraulic pump P2 port from the C5 port, moves the pump tilt revolution to the minimum
flow side, and reduces the discharge flow.
At the same time, the discharged oil from the A3 pilot pump is fed to the hydraulic pump P1 port by the signal from
the computer A to the hydraulic pump P1 flow restriction proportional valve, moves the A1 side pump tilt revolution to
the minimum flow side, and reduces the discharge flow.

Negative Control Circuit

Negative Control Circuit, flow control (bucket close, power save solenoid OFF):
As an example, this section explains the bucket close operations.
By moving the remote control valve to the bucket close side, the pilot pressure oil is fed via the cushion valve to the
control valve Pb7 port and switches the bucket spool to the close side.
The discharged oil from the hydraulic pump A2 enters the control valve P2 port, is fed to the bucket spool, flows into
the bucket cylinder bottom side because of the spool switching and carries out the bucket close operation.
At the same time, the upper side pilot pressure sensor signal is detected and through the signal output from the
computer A to switch OFF the power save solenoid valve, pilot pressure enters the negative control relief valve, and
the pressure becomes the set 2.55 MPa pressure.
Because the bucket spool switches and the pressurized oil on the center bypass is cut off, the Pi2 pump negative
control pressure oil from the Ps2 port is eliminated, the pump revolution tilt moves to the increase side, and the flow
is increased.
Also, the command current to the pump P1 flow control proportional valve is lowered and the pressurized oil from the
A3 hydraulic pump is cut off, but the negative control pressure is fed from the control valve Ps1 port to the Pi1 port to
reduce the A1 hydraulic pump discharged volume quantity.
