  • Patent number: 10876273
    Abstract: A control section determines a monitoring region, a region wherein an obstacle is to be monitored, the monitoring region not including the lower travelling body. The control section changes the monitoring region so as not to include the lower travelling body based on a turn angle detected by the turn angle detection section. The control section limits operation of at least one of travelling of the lower travelling body and turning of the upper slewing body when the obstacle detection section detects an obstacle being present in the monitoring region.

  • Patent number: 10527731
    Abstract: When an object detected by a distance measuring sensor is located in a monitoring region set in a blind spot of an operator, an obstacle determination section determines the detected object as an obstacle. Then, the obstacle determination section sets a monitoring region so that a region indicating a lower travelling body (2) is excluded according to a slewing angle detected by an angle sensor. Based on the slewing angle detected by the angle sensor, a stop control section determines a component, of at least one of the lower travelling body and an upper slewing body, which has a possibility that a construction machine collides with the obstacle when the component is operated, and stops operation of the determined component.
