  • Patent number: 9080311
    Abstract: A control pressure switching valve is disposed between a displacement regulator and a pressure control valve. The control pressure switching valve is switched between a control position (j), in which a load sensing control pressure (PLS) is permitted to be outputted from the pressure control valve to the displacement regulator, and a control release position (k), in which the load sensing control pressure (PLS) to be outputted to the displacement regulator is reduced to a prescribed low pressure value. When the regeneration of a filter is determined to be necessary, the controller switches the control pressure switching valve to the control release position (k). When the load sensing control pressure (PLS) is reduced to the low pressure value with the control pressure switching valve switched to the control release position (k), the displacement regulator increases a delivery displacement of a hydraulic pump, thereby increasing rotational load of an engine.

  • Patent number: 8869928
    Abstract: A regeneration apparatus for executing a regeneration process to an exhaust gas purifying apparatus and an engine control device that controls a rotational speed of an engine according to an instruction value by a rotational speed instruction apparatus are provided. When a directional control valve is in a neutral position, the engine control device controls the rotational speed of the engine to an automatic idle rotational speed (Nai) by an automatic idle selection unit regardless of the instruction value. However, when it is determined that the regeneration process of the exhaust gas purifying apparatus is executed in a state of controlling the rotational speed of the engine at the automatic idle rotational speed (Nai), the engine control device increases the rotational speed of the engine to a regeneration processing rotational speed (N1) higher than the automatic idle rotational speed (Nai).

  • Publication number: 20140251146
    Abstract: A regeneration device performs regeneration of a filter by burning particulate matter trapped by the filter of an exhaust gas purifying device. The regeneration device is configured to perform two types of processing, that is, automatic regeneration processing for automatically performing regeneration not on the basis of an operation by an operator and manual regeneration processing for performing regeneration by notifying an operator to manually perform the regeneration and by performing the regeneration on the basis of an operation by the operator. The automatic regeneration processing makes determination on whether or not to perform regeneration on the basis of an estimated trapping amount (H) estimated from an engine rotational speed (N) and a fuel injection quantity (F). The manual regeneration processing makes determination on whether or not to notify the operator on the basis of a differential pressure (?P) of the particulate matter removing filter.

  • Publication number: 20140116031
    Abstract: An engine control system for a working machine measures the sulfur content of an exhaust gas since sulfur is detrimental to normal functioning of an exhaust gas aftertreatment device. Each time a key switch is turned ON to start an engine, the engine control system compares a remaining fuel amount memorized at the last stop of the engine and a remaining fuel amount detected at the current start of the engine. The engine control system performs a sulfur concentration measurement process only when the remaining fuel amount is increased. A target revolution speed Na appropriate for measuring the concentration of sulfur is set and when the temperature of the exhaust gas is within a predetermined temperature range and a target time has elapsed, the engine control system determines whether the sulfur concentration exceeds a threshold value. If the sulfur concentration exceeds the threshold value, an alarm display device is activated.

  • Patent number: 8632122
    Abstract: A floor member is formed by a seat support platform on a rear side and a footrest area located on a front side of the seat support platform, and a cab box is formed by a front panel, a rear panel, a left front side panel, a left rear side panel, a right side panel, and a top panel. A right reinforcing panel is provided at a right side position of the floor member and rises upwardly of the footrest area. The right side panel of the cab box corresponding to this right reinforcing panel is provided with a notched portion for avoiding interference with the right reinforcing panel. Accordingly, since the strength at the right side position of the floor member can be enhanced by the right reinforcing panel, it is possible to prevent deformation such as torsion and distortion when the floor member is tilted up.
