Patent number: 11619025Abstract: A control device outputs an operation signal of a work equipment and a swing body for moving a work equipment to a loading point when receiving a loading command signal. The control device does not output a dumping operation signal for causing the bucket to dump earth in a case where an azimuth direction in which the swing body faces is within a first region from a starting point azimuth direction to a predetermined reference azimuth direction, the starting point azimuth direction being an azimuth direction in which the swing body faces when the loading command signal is received. The control device outputs the dumping operation signal in a case where the azimuth direction is within a second region from the reference azimuth direction to an end point azimuth direction in which the swing body faces when the work equipment is positioned at the loading point.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Komatsu Ltd.Inventors: Tomoki Konda, Yusuke Saigo, Ryuta Okuwaki, Kazuhiro Hatake
