2.2 Working device hydraulic system

Hydraulic system of working device is used to control the motion of lift arm and bucket

to complete various working operation.

Working principle of hydraulic system:

The engine drives the oil pump which sucks oil from oil-tank. The pressure oil from oil

pump flows through distribution valve to lift cylinder or turn cylinder. By operating the

control rod of distribution valve，the direction of oil flow is changed to make the bucket lift or

turn. The system pressure is settled by the safety valve locating in the distribution valve. The

bucket cannot turn and lift at the same time. When the bucket is turning，the hydraulic circuit

to lift cylinder is cut off. Only when the turning hydraulic circuit stops working，can the

lifting be done.

This system consists of geared pump, multi-way diverter valve, lift arm cylinder, bucket

cylinder, oil-tank and flow line (Fig. 2-7).

Geared pump is showed in Fig. 2-8. One geared pump is used for working device

hydraulic system and the tractor’s hydraulic lifting system together. Its highest pressure is

16Mpa. The structure of lift arm cylinder and bucket cylinder is showed in Fig. 2-9.
