Patent attributes
A hydraulic circuit includes: a direction switching valve, which is in a state where a bottom oil path is connected to a first tank oil path and where a bypass oil path is connected to a second tank oil path when a pump oil path is connected to a rod oil path and when the rod oil path is connected to the bypass oil path when the pump oil path is connected to the bottom oil path, and a pilot operation control valve which allows flows of oil in both directions between the direction switching valve and the bottom oil path when the pump oil path is connected to the rod oil path and allows only a flow of oil from the direction switching valve to the bottom oil path when the pump oil path is connected to the bottom oil path by the direction switching valve.
