Hydraulic circuit for construction machine

Abstract

A hydraulic circuit for a construction machine is disclosed, which can prevent a loss of pressure during a combined work. The hydraulic circuit includes a variable displacement hydraulic pump, at least two hydraulic actuators driven by hydraulic fluid that is supplied from the hydraulic pump, control valves installed in a center bypass path of the hydraulic pump and shifted to control a start, a stop, and a direction change of the hydraulic actuators, parallel flow paths having inlets branched and connected to predetermined positions on an uppermost stream side of the center bypass path and outlets connected to inlet ports of the control valves, bleed-off paths formed on the control valves other than the lowermost downstream side control valve among the control valves to selectively communicate with the center bypass path, the bleed-off paths communicating with the center bypass path when the plurality of control valves are shifted for a combined work, and a switching valve installed on a lowermost downstream side of the center bypass path to intercept the center bypass path when pilot signal pressure is applied.
