Abstract

Provided are a hydraulic circuit and a work machine capable of improving an initial motion speed of a hydraulic cylinder during a contraction of the hydraulic cylinder and securing a necessary pump flow rate while hydraulic fluid is being accumulated in an accumulator. Hydraulic oil from a head side of a second boom cylinder is regenerated in a first boom cylinder and the second boom cylinder through a second control valve of a regeneration circuit. At the same time, oil from the head side of the first boom cylinder is accumulated to a first accumulator by a pressure accumulating circuit through a first control valve. The hydraulic oil supplied under pressure from a main pump is fed to a rod side of the first boom cylinder by a boom control valve. A bleed-off valve of a bleed-off circuit communicates the first control valve to a tank at the time of initial operation of the first control valve, thereby releasing hydraulic oil from the head end of the first boom cylinder to improve an initial motion speed.
