  • Patent number: 11976442
    Abstract: A construction machine includes an attitude sensor that detects the current attitude of an upper turning body; a reference angular acceleration calculation unit that calculates a reference angular acceleration to be generated when an electric turning motor is driven by a torque command value generated according to the operation amount of an operation part; a reference gravity torque calculation unit that, on the basis of the current attitude and the deviation between an actual angular acceleration, calculates a reference gravity torque; a gravity compensation torque calculation unit that calculates a gravity compensation torque for compensating a torque component generated about the turning axis by the gravity in the current attitude; and a correction unit that corrects the torque command value by using the gravity compensation torque so as to cancel the torque component generated about the turning axis by the gravity in the current attitude.

  • Patent number: 10519990
    Abstract: The hydraulic apparatus is set so that the ratio of the pressure-receiving area of the respective bottom oil chambers of the boom cylinder, the arm cylinder and the bucket cylinder to the pressure-receiving area of the respective rod oil chambers matches the ratio of the extruded volume drawn into or discharged from the bottom oil chambers per single rotation by the respective extrusion members of the first hydraulic pump motor, the second hydraulic pump motor and the third hydraulic pump motor to the volume discharged from or drawn into the rod oil chambers.

  • Publication number: 20070295025
    Abstract: An engine heat pump whose compression work is reduced without increase of consumed electric power, thereby improving its driving efficiency (energy efficiency). An engine heat pump comprises: an engine; a main compressor driven by the engine; a sub compressor delivering a refrigerant to be joined to a refrigerant delivered from the main compressor; an indoor heat exchanger; an outdoor heat exchanger; an expansion valve for the indoor heat exchanger; an expansion valve for the outdoor heat exchanger; and a supercooling heat exchanger disposed on a liquid refrigerant passage (main passage) of a connection passage between the indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger. In the supercooling heat exchanger, a supercooling liquid refrigerant branched into a branching passage supercools a liquid refrigerant before being branched. The sub compressor is driven by the engine so as to compress the supercooling liquid refrigerant.
