Publication number: 20250145425Abstract: A storage stores at least one piece of registered correction data including a plurality of registered values associated with a plurality of section angle ranges. A controller executes parallel winch control of causing a derricking winch and a hoisting winch to operate. The controller specifies a reference target value corresponding to a derricking angle, from the plurality of registered values. In a correction period corresponding to a point of time at which a correction operation is detected, the controller corrects the reference target value used for deriving an operation speed of the hoisting winch in the parallel winch control, in accordance with a specified value specified by the correction operation.

Patent number: 12280990Abstract: When an engine is started in a state where a support member of a multi-coupler is attached to a mating support member, the pressure of hydraulic oil increases in a detection target pipeline part. A pressure detection unit detects the pressure of the hydraulic oil in the detection target pipeline part. A connection state determining unit determines whether a tank-side pipeline part and a motor-side pipeline part are connected to each other, based on the pressure. When the connection state determining unit determines that the tank-side pipeline part and the motor-side pipeline part are not connected to each other in a state where the engine is started, a pressure increase suppression unit carries out an operation for suppressing an increase in the pressure of a hydraulic motor.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: KOBELCO CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Masaki Okubo, Hitoshi Sakurai, Yoshiki Kamon, Taisuke Tsunoo
