A controller 18 determines whether or not compaction work is in progress, calculates a front distance R that represents a distance between a rotational pivot of a boom 4 and a predetermined position B in a back surface of a bucket 6, determines a target velocity of the bucket such that a velocity with which the bucket approaches a leveling target surface decreases with increasing values of the front distance, and, during the compaction work, notifies the operator of details of an operation of operation devices 9a and 9b for achieving the target velocity of the bucket or controls hydraulic actuators 4a to 6a so as to achieve the target velocity of the bucket.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2018Publication date: February 11, 2021Inventors: Shinji ISHIHARA, Hiroshi SAKAMOTO, Hidekazu MORIKI, Ryu NARIKAWA

Publication number: 20200181883Abstract: A controller outputs a first velocity (first limiting velocity) as a limiting velocity for a boom cylinder when a boom lowering operation amount is smaller than a first operation amount, and outputs a second velocity when the boom lowering operation amount is equal to or larger than the first operation amount. The first velocity is set to decrease according to a decrease in a target surface distance. The second velocity is defined by a weighted average of the first velocity and a third velocity (second limiting velocity) set to change according to one of the target surface distance and the boom lowering operation amount of the operation device, and is set such that an increase in the boom lowering operation amount reduces a weight for the first velocity while increasing a weight for the third velocity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2018Publication date: June 11, 2020Inventors: Teruki IGARASHI, Shiho IZUMI, Ryu NARIKAWA, Shuuichi MEGURIYA, Hiroki TAKEUCHI

Publication number: 20200048861Abstract: Provided is a hydraulic excavator (1) that performs work by operating an arm (9) after moving a bucket (10) to a work start position. An operation determination section (81c) determines, based on an operation performed on an operation device, whether a front work device (1A) is engaged in a work preparation operation for moving the bucket to the work start position. When the operation determination section determines that the front work device is engaged in the work preparation operation at the time of operation of the operation device, an actuator control section (81) controls a bucket cylinder (7) such that the angle of a work tool with respect to a target surface coincides with a preset target angle (?TGT).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2017Publication date: February 13, 2020Inventors: Ryu NARIKAWA, Manabu EDAMURA, Hiroshi SAKAMOTO, Shiho IZUMI, Hidekazu MORIKI

Publication number: 20200032482Abstract: Provided is a work machine that can operate a front work implement at a speed according to an operator's lever operation while securing the accuracy of work by machine control. A hydraulic excavator 1 includes a controller 20 that sets a target surface for a bucket 10 and controls the operation of a front work implement 1B in such a manner that the bucket does not penetrate to below the target surface. The controller sets a speed correction region on an upper side of the target surface, varies a width R of the speed correction region in accordance with an operation amount of an operation device 15A or 15C, and controls the operation of the front work implement in such a manner that the work tool does not penetrate into the speed correction region.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2018Publication date: January 30, 2020Inventors: Shuuichi MEGURIYA, Ryu NARIKAWA, Hiroki TAKEUCHI

Patent number: 10450722Abstract: A control system for a construction machine stops an upper swing structure at a desired swing stop angle. A main controller sets a swing stop target angle at which an upper swing structure is to be stopped. A swing stoppability determination section reads an angle signal of the upper swing structure with respect to an undercarriage and an angle of a work implement, and determines whether the swing of the upper swing structure can be stopped at the swing stop target angle. A work implement is controlled in such a manner that an extension action of the work implement in a swing radial direction is prohibited or a contraction action of the work implement in the swing radial direction is executed in response to a signal that indicates whether the swing can be stopped and that is determined by the swing stoppability determination section.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hidekazu Moriki, Hiroshi Sakamoto, Yasutaka Tsuruga, Tadashi Osaka, Ryu Narikawa
