Patent number: 10132058Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cooling fan control device for a construction machine, whereby the effects of heat caused by warm-up operation can be suppressed. This cooling fan control device is equipped with a control unit (10a) that controls the rotational speed of a cooling fan (21) in accordance with a main pump discharge pressure (P) detected by a main pump discharge pressure sensor (25), an engine cooling water temperature (Tw) detected by an engine cooling water temperature sensor (26), a hydraulic oil temperature (To) detected by a hydraulic oil temperature sensor (27), and an engine rotational speed (E) detected by an engine rotational speed sensor (28). The cooling fan (21) is rotated at the rotational speed controlled by the control unit (10a), thereby sending the generated cooling air to an oil cooler (19) and a control valve (13).Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2014Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsuhiko Kanehama, Kensuke Sato, Tsuyoshi Nakamura

Patent number: 9890518Abstract: During boom-midair lowering operation in which a front work implement 130 can be turned under the self-weight of a boom 131, a hydraulic pump/motor 7 is operated as a motor to operate a generator/electric motor 10 as a generator. Power generation operation is performed by the hydraulic fluid discharged from a bottom-side chamber 5b of a boom cylinder 5 to recover positional energy. During jack-up in which the front work implement 130 cannot be turned under the self-weight of the boom 131, the generator/electric motor 10 is operated as an electric motor to operate the hydraulic pump/motor 7 as a pump. The jack-up is performed by supplying the hydraulic fluid from the bottom-side chamber 5b to rod-side chamber 5a of the boom cylinder 5 without supplying the hydraulic fluid from the main pump 2 to the rod-side chamber 5a of the boom cylinder 5.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2013Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: HITACHI CONSTRUCTION MAHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Kensuke Sato, Tsuyoshi Nakamura, Kouji Ishikawa
