Patent number: 11965315Abstract: The invention of the present application intends to provide a work machine that can ensure high operability by preventing abrupt actuation of an actuator and a shock to a machine body by use of a bleed-off function at the time of starting of the actuator and that can improve the energy-saving performance by reducing a bleed-off flow rate after the starting of the actuator. For this purpose, a controller opens a bleed-off valve at a timing at which an operation device is being operated and before a flow rate of a hydraulic pump starts increasing, and closes the bleed-off valve at a timing at which the operation device is being operated and after the flow rate of the hydraulic pump has started increasing.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kento Kumagai, Shinya Imura, Yasutaka Tsuruga, Takaaki Chiba, Hiroaki Amano, Shinji Nishikawa, Akihiro Narazaki, Genroku Sugiyama, Shinjiro Yamamoto
