  • Patent number: 10106955
    Abstract: A turning control apparatus includes a turning body and a hydraulic motor to turn the turning body. A high-pressure relief circuit relieves hydraulic pressure of a first hydraulic line at a first relief pressure, the first hydraulic line supplying an operating oil to drive the hydraulic motor. A hunting reduction circuit relieves a hydraulic pressure of a second hydraulic line at a pressure lower than the first relief pressure, the second hydraulic line being connected to a deceleration-side hydraulic port from which the operating oil is discharged when the hydraulic motor is being driven. The hunting reduction circuit connected to the deceleration-side hydraulic port is caused to open before an operation lever to operate turning of the turning body returns to a neutral position.

  • Patent number: 9995318
    Abstract: A hybrid shovel includes an engine that is controlled at a constant revolution speed, a motor generator that assists the engine, a control part that controls a drive of the motor generator, and a hydraulic pump that is driven by the engine. The control part causes the motor generator to assist the engine when a revolution speed of the engine is lower than the constant revolution speed due to a load of the hydraulic pump. The control part causes the motor generator to decrease an assist output to said engine before the revolution speed of the engine returns to the constant revolution speed.

  • Patent number: 9382691
    Abstract: A hybrid work machine includes a turning electric motor configured to turn an upper-part turning body, a hydraulic actuator, and a controller configured to control turning in a state of an independent turning operation by the turning electric motor and in a state of a combined turning operation by the turning electric motor and the hydraulic actuator. The controller is configured to limit the output of the turning electric motor in the state of the independent turning operation after a transition from the state of the combined turning operation to the state of the independent turning operation to an output smaller than the output of the turning electric motor in the state of the independent turning operation other than the state of the independent turning operation after said transition.
