  • Patent number: 10527731
    Abstract: When an object detected by a distance measuring sensor is located in a monitoring region set in a blind spot of an operator, an obstacle determination section determines the detected object as an obstacle. Then, the obstacle determination section sets a monitoring region so that a region indicating a lower travelling body (2) is excluded according to a slewing angle detected by an angle sensor. Based on the slewing angle detected by the angle sensor, a stop control section determines a component, of at least one of the lower travelling body and an upper slewing body, which has a possibility that a construction machine collides with the obstacle when the component is operated, and stops operation of the determined component.

  • Publication number: 20180274206
    Abstract: An object is to suppress erroneous determination of a lower travelling body as an obstacle even when a turn angle is changed and to detect an obstacle being present in the vicinity of the lower travelling body. The control section 41 determines a monitoring region R, a region in which an obstacle is to be monitored, the monitoring region R not including the lower travelling body 10. The control section 41 changes the monitoring region R so as not to include the lower travelling body 10 based on a turn angle ? detected by the turn angle detection section 45. The control section 41 limits operation of at least one of travelling of the lower travelling body 10 and turning of the upper slewing body 20 when the obstacle detection section 50 detects an obstacle being present in the monitoring region R.

  • Patent number: 9873349
    Abstract: A first warming-up control unit calculates warming-up time charging power from a power storage SOC and power storage temperature and causes a generator motor to perform power generation operation thereby charging a power storage unit on the basis of the calculated warming-up time charging power. A second warming-up control unit applies, during the power generation operation, a hydraulic load to a hydraulic pump by a hydraulic load unit and performs horsepower control of the hydraulic pump using a value obtained by subtracting the warming-up time charging power from preset warming-up time pump horsepower.

  • Patent number: 9528245
    Abstract: The invention provides a rotation control device capable of reducing a loss of a power of a hydraulic pump in a backward direction operation and also provides a construction machine including the same. The controller controls a capacity of the hydraulic pump such that, in a forward direction operation in which an operating direction detected by the operation sensor and a rotating direction detected by a rotation sensor coincide with each other, the capacity of the hydraulic pump is increased in accordance with an increase in the operation amount detected by an operation sensor, on the other hand, restricts the capacity of the hydraulic pump more in a backward direction operation, in which the operating direction detected by the operation sensor and the rotating direction detected by the rotation sensor are reverse to each other, than in the forward direction operation.

  • Patent number: 9276508
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an inverter device for driving an electric motor, which allows control stability and efficiency to be ensured over a wide region of the speed of the electric motor. The inverter device includes a rotational-speed detection section which detects a rotational speed of the electric motor, a carrier-frequency calculation section which calculates a carrier frequency on the basis of the detected rotational speed, and a carrier-frequency switching section which switches, on the basis of the calculated carrier frequency, the carrier frequency used for performing PWM control on the electric motor. The carrier-frequency calculation section calculates, as the carrier frequency, a frequency increased with an increase in the electric-motor rotational speed detected by the rotational-speed detection section.
