Abstract

There is provided a flow divider system in a hydraulic circuit for a work machine including a boom cylinder and a bucket cylinder. The flow divider system divides a pressured oil drained from a one-boom cylinder into an other-bucket cylinder and a tank via a first orifice, a second orifice and a flow dividing valve, maintaining a specified pressure difference between pressures downstream the first and second orifices. The first and second orifice are configured of a variable orifice respectively, and in the event that the oil flow from the one-boom chamber decreases, respective opening degrees of the first and second orifices are controlled so as to be reduced. Accordingly, changing of a divisional ratio of oil flow can be suppressed properly regardless of a small oil flow drained from the boom cylinder.
