  • Patent number: 8548693
    Abstract: A control device for a work machine on a construction vehicle is provided so that a bucket cylinder is stopped at a target position, with high accuracy achieved in a bucket cylinder length, and with chock held down to a low level. A bucket cylinder length detection section refereces a cylinder length detection table on the basis of a boom angle and a bell crank angle, thereby detecting a bucket cylinder length. A bucket attitude control section controls the bucket cylinder length so that a target position will be reached. Feedback control is performed until a set value which is set short of a target value is reached. After the bucket cylinder length reaches the set value, open loop control is performed until the target value is reached.
