Bucket Hydraulic System

The document describes the bucket hydraulic system of an excavator. It details how the drive pump supplies oil to power bucket operation via control valves and cylinders when the joystick is moved. It also explains how negative flow control regulates pump output based on oil pressure readings.

The oil delivery for the bucket hydraulic circuit is supplied by drive pump (21) only.

(9) Bucket control valve

The oil delivery from drive pump (21) flows through center bypass passage (8) in main control valve (5) to
bucket control valve (9). The oil delivery from idler pump (22) flows through center bypass passage (7) in
main control valve (5). Illustration 1 shows the main control valve when only the bucket hydraulic circuit is
activated.

When the hydraulic lockout lever is in the UNLOCKED position, the oil delivery from pilot pump (23)
flows through pilot oil manifold (20) to pilot control valve (15). When the joystick for the bucket is moved
to the BUCKET CLOSE position, pilot oil flows through pilot control valve (15) and pilot line (1) to bucket
control valve (9). The pilot oil pressure shifts the spool in the bucket control valve against spring (13). The
pilot oil on the other end of the spool in the bucket control valve flows through pilot line (18) and pilot
control valve (15) to the hydraulic tank.

Since the spool in the bucket control valve is fully shifted, center bypass passage (8) is blocked. None of the
oil delivery from the drive pump flows to negative flow control orifice (14) and no negative flow control
pressure is created in center bypass passage (8). Since no negative flow control pressure is sent through
negative flow control line (19) to the drive pump regulator, the drive pump regulator moves the swashplate
of the drive pump toward the maximum angle position. The output flow rate of the drive pump is increased
and flows through parallel feeder passage (16), load check valve (12), bucket control valve (9) and line (3) to
the head end of bucket cylinder (4) .

Since the oil delivery for the bucket hydraulic circuit is supplied by the drive pump only, the negative control
pressure in center bypass passage (7) is high. Idler pump (22) remains at the destroked position.

ReferenceFor more information concerning the negative flow control operation, refer to Systems Operation,
"Negative Flow Control System".

The return oil from the rod end of the bucket cylinder flows through line (2), orifice (11) in bucket control
valve (9), return passage (17) and return line (6) to the hydraulic tank. Orifice (11) restricts the return oil
from the rod end of the bucket cylinder.

The BUCKET OPEN operation is similar to the BUCKET CLOSE operation.

When the joystick for the bucket is moved to the BUCKET OPEN position, pilot oil flow from pilot control
valve (15) flows through pilot line (18) to the bucket control valve. The spool in the bucket control valve
shifts against the force of spring (10). The oil delivery from the drive pump now flows to the rod end of the
bucket cylinder.

When the joystick for the bucket is in the NEUTRAL position, springs (10) and (13) maintain the spool in
the bucket control valve in the NEUTRAL position. The oil flow from the head end and the rod end of the
bucket cylinder is blocked.
