Description

  The present invention relates to a hydraulic construction machine such as a hydraulic excavator that includes a prime mover and a hydraulic pump that is driven by the prime mover, and that can control the number of revolutions of the prime mover according to the amount of operation of an operating device.

There exists a thing shown by patent document 1 as this kind of prior art. This patent document 1 discloses a configuration for controlling the rotational speed of a prime mover according to the operation amount of each actuator operating device, that is, the operation state and the operation content.
JP 2002-266379 A

  In the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above, since control for simply increasing / decreasing the rotational speed of the prime mover according to increase / decrease in the operation amount of the operating device is performed, the maximum torque of the hydraulic pump and the rotational speed of the prime mover are controlled. The maximum load acting on the prime mover represented by the product increases as the rotational speed of the prime mover increases. In this case, the prime mover must have an output characteristic corresponding to the maximum load, and even when the prime mover speed is increased only during low-use operations such as traveling alone operation on a hydraulic excavator, a large output corresponding to the maximum load A prime mover will be provided.

  For example, in a battery-driven hydraulic excavator, a continuous operation time for performing a combined operation of a specific actuator such as a left and right traveling motor and another actuator different from the left and right traveling motor, such as an actuator that drives a front work machine, is increased by battery power. In order to meet this demand, there is a case where a lower rotational speed than that of an engine type hydraulic excavator of the same size is set as the rated rotational speed. In such a battery-driven hydraulic excavator, when performing the combined operation of the specific actuator and the other actuator described above, the operating speed of the left and right traveling motor, which is the specific actuator, that is, the traveling speed is relatively low. However, when traveling alone such as when crossing public roads, it is desirable to increase the traveling speed in order to reduce adverse effects on traffic. In this way, even if the rotational speed of the prime mover is increased only during the single operation of the motor, it is possible to save energy for a long time by setting a slightly low rotational speed to the rated rotational speed. A prime mover will be provided in accordance with the maximum output during traveling alone operation.

  That is, in the prior art, when considering a hydraulic construction machine including a specific actuator and a plurality of actuators including other actuators different from the specific actuator, a long time is required due to the combined operation of the specific actuator and other actuators. The rated rotation speed during energy-saving work over a wide range may be set to a low value to enable individual operation of a specific actuator at a high operating speed. In spite of the low frequency of single operation, there is a problem in that a large-output prime mover corresponding to the maximum output at the time of single operation of a specific actuator is provided, which increases the equipment cost.

  The present invention has been made from the actual situation in the above-described prior art, and its purpose is to produce relatively small outputs of both work by a combined operation of a specific actuator and another actuator and a single operation of the specific actuator at a high operating speed. It is to provide a hydraulic construction machine that can be realized by providing a prime mover.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a prime mover, a hydraulic pump driven by the prime mover, a specific actuator driven by pressure oil discharged from the hydraulic pump, and other different from the specific actuator. In a hydraulic construction machine including a plurality of actuators including an actuator and a specific operation unit that operates the specific actuator, when the operation amount of the specific operation unit is equal to or less than a first operation amount, the rotational speed of the prime mover is When the operation amount of the specific operation means is greater than or equal to the second operation amount that is greater than the first operation amount, the control is performed to a constant first rotation speed that enables a combined operation of the specific actuator and the other actuator. The rotational speed of the prime mover is controlled to a constant second rotational speed higher than the first rotational speed, and the operation amount of the specific operation means is the first When the operation amount is larger than the work amount and smaller than the second operation amount, the operation amount is gradually increased between the first rotation speed and the second rotation speed as the operation amount of the specific operation means increases. A motor speed control means for controlling the speed of the prime mover is provided.

  In the present invention configured as described above, when the specific operation means is operated with an operation amount equal to or less than the first operation amount during the combined operation of the specific actuator and another actuator, the motor rotation speed control means causes the motor rotation speed to be kept constant. It is controlled to the first rotation speed of the eye. As a result, it is possible to perform work by a combined operation of the specific actuator and another actuator. Further, when the specific operation means is operated with an operation amount equal to or larger than the second operation amount larger than the above-mentioned first operation amount when the specific actuator is operated alone, a constant higher than the above-mentioned first rotation speed is set by the motor rotation speed control means. It is controlled at the second rotational speed. As a result, the specific actuator can be operated independently at a high operating speed.

  Further, for example, the operation amount of the specific operation means is increased from the state in which the operation amount of the specific operation means is set to an operation amount equal to or less than the first operation amount and the motor speed is controlled to a constant lower first rotation speed. Thus, when the rotational speed of the prime mover is shifted to a constant high second rotational speed, the rotational speed of the prime mover gradually increases as the operation amount of the specific operation means increases by the prime mover rotational speed control means. Since it is controlled, the rotational speed of the prime mover can be smoothly shifted from the first rotational speed to the second rotational speed. In the case of shifting from the high second rotation speed to the lower first rotation speed, it is possible to smoothly shift similarly.

  Further, the present invention is the above invention, wherein the prime mover rotational speed control means is capable of controlling the rotational speed of the prime mover so that the absorption horsepower of the hydraulic pump does not exceed the maximum absorption horsepower at the first rotational speed. It is characterized by that. In the present invention configured as described above, the prime mover need only have an output corresponding to a constant low first rotation speed, and a prime mover with a small output can be provided.

  Further, the present invention is the above invention, wherein the hydraulic construction machine comprises a battery-driven hydraulic excavator, the prime mover comprises a hydraulic pump electric motor, and comprises a battery capable of supplying electric power for driving the hydraulic pump electric motor, The specific actuator includes a right travel motor and a left travel motor, the other actuator includes an actuator that drives a front work machine, and the specific operation means includes an operation device that operates the right travel motor and the left travel motor. It is characterized by comprising an operating device for operation.

  In the present invention configured as described above, when the operation device is operated with an operation amount equal to or less than the first operation amount during work such as excavation work by a combined operation of the right travel motor, the left travel motor, and the actuator that drives the front work machine. The prime mover rotational speed control means controls the rotational speed of the prime mover to a lower fixed first rotational speed. As a result, excavation work by a combined operation of the right travel motor, the left travel motor, and the actuator that drives the front work machine can be performed. Further, when the operating device is operated with a second operation amount larger than the first operation amount at the time of traveling independent operation by driving the right traveling motor and the left traveling motor, the engine rotational speed control means controls the number of rotations of the motor. It is controlled to a constant second rotational speed higher than one rotational speed. As a result, traveling alone operation at a high operating speed is possible. The prime mover only needs to have an output at a constant low first rotation speed, and therefore a prime mover with a relatively small output can be provided. That is, it is possible to realize both the operation by the combined operation of the right traveling motor, the left traveling motor, and the actuator that drives the front working machine and the traveling single operation at a high operating speed by providing a relatively small output prime mover. it can.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to realize both a work by a combined operation of a specific actuator and another actuator and a single operation of the specific actuator at a high operating speed by providing a relatively small output prime mover. Therefore, it is possible to realize a reduction in equipment cost by reducing the size of the prime mover.

In this figure, a thick line indicates a mechanical drive system, a middle line indicates a hydraulic drive system, a thin line indicates an electrical drive system, and a dotted line indicates an electrical signal system.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the DC power from the battery 23 is converted into AC power having a predetermined voltage and frequency by the hydraulic pump inverter 52 and input to the hydraulic pump motor 22. The driving force of the hydraulic pump electric motor 22 is transmitted to the hydraulic pump 41.

Further, for example, the turning electric motor 24 is used in the generator characteristics at the time of deceleration, and the electric power regenerated by the turning electric motor 24 is converted into direct current and stored in the battery 24.

  An operation signal from the operation device 54 is input to the controller 55, and a drive command corresponding to the arithmetic processing executed by the controller 55 is given to the turning inverter 28 and the hydraulic pump inverter 52.

  The controller 55 is provided with prime mover rotation speed control means that is a feature of the first embodiment. This prime mover rotation speed control means includes the travel lever input shown in FIG. 3, that is, the setting relationship between the operation amount (Pi) of the travel operation device and the rotation speed (N) of the hydraulic pump motor, and (a ) It is constituted by the set relationship between the pump discharge pressure (P) and the rotational speed (N) of the hydraulic pump motor shown in the figure.

  That is, the prime mover rotation speed control means is the prime mover, that is, the hydraulic pressure when the specific operation means, that is, the travel lever input of the operation device of the travel motors 13 and 14, that is, the operation amount (Pi) is less than or equal to the first operation amount Pi1 shown in FIG. The rotational speed (N) of the pump electric motor 22 is slightly lower to enable combined operation of the traveling motors 13 and 14 that are specific actuators and the boom cylinder 32, arm cylinder 34, and bucket cylinder 36 that are other actuators. When the operation amount (Pi) of the travel lever is equal to or greater than the second operation amount Pi2 that is larger than the first operation amount Pi1, the rotation speed (N) of the hydraulic pump motor 22 is controlled. Is controlled to a constant second rotational speed (N2) higher than the first rotational speed (N1), and the operation amount (Pi) of the travel lever is larger than the first operational amount Pi1.

Thus, it consists of what controls the rotation speed (N) of the electric motor 22 for hydraulic pumps.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the prime mover rotational speed control means is provided with the first rotational speed (N1) or the second rotational speed (in accordance with the input of the travel lever of FIG. 3, ie, the operation amount Pi. In a state where N2) is selected, the selected first rotational speed (N1) or second rotational speed (N2) regardless of the magnitude of the discharge pressure (P) of the hydraulic pump 41. Is configured to hold.

In the first embodiment configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 4B, the displacement volume (q) with respect to the discharge pressure (P) of the hydraulic pump 41 is determined by the rotational speed of the hydraulic pump motor 22. Both the displacement volume q1 at the first rotation speed N1 and the displacement volume q2 at the second rotation speed N2 are such that the torque is constant when the pump discharge pressure (P) is greater than or equal to the predetermined pressure P1. Controlled. That is,
P × q (q1 = q2) = constant (1)
It is. The discharge flow rate (Q) of the hydraulic pump 41 is
Q = q × N (2)
Therefore, regardless of the discharge pressure (P) of the hydraulic pump 41, at the above-mentioned first rotational speed N1,

T∝P × q (q1 = q2) (5)
E = P × Q (6)
Therefore, regardless of the discharge pressure (P) of the hydraulic pump 41,
T1 = T2 (7)
E1 = P × Q1 (8)
E2 = P × Q2 = E1 × Q2 / Q1 = E1 × N2 / N1 (9)
Are in a relationship.

Accordingly, long-time energy-saving excavation work and the like can be performed by a combined operation of the right travel motor 13 and the left travel motor 14 and an actuator such as a boom cylinder 32 that drives the front work machine 30. In addition, when the single traveling operation is performed by driving the right traveling motor 13 and the left traveling motor 14, the operating devices for the right traveling motor 13 and the left traveling motor 14 are operated at a second operation amount Pi2 or more that is larger than the first operation amount Pi1. Then, the rotational speed (N) of the hydraulic pump motor 22 is controlled to a constant second rotational speed (N2) higher than the first rotational speed (N1) by the prime mover rotational speed control means included in the controller 55. The As a result, it is possible to perform a traveling single operation at a low operating speed with a low frequency.

  For example, the operation amount of the operating device of the right travel motor 13 and the left travel motor 14 is set to an operation amount equal to or less than the first operation amount Pi1, and the rotation speed (N) of the hydraulic pump electric motor 22 is set to a constant low first rotation. When the operation amount of the above-described operation device is increased from the state where the number (N1) is controlled, and the rotational speed (N) of the hydraulic pump motor 22 is shifted to a constant high rotational speed (N2), the control is performed. 3 so that the rotational speed (N) of the hydraulic pump motor 22 gradually increases with an increase in the operation amount of the operating device, by the motor speed control means included in the device 55, that is, according to the setting relationship shown in FIG. Since it is controlled, the rotational speed (N) of the hydraulic pump electric motor 22 can be smoothly shifted from the first rotational speed (N1) to the second rotational speed (N2). Similarly, when shifting from the second rotational speed (N2) to the first rotational speed (N1), the transition can be made smoothly.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, the prime mover having a relatively small output, that is, the hydraulic pump electric motor 22 can be provided, and the prime mover rotation speed control means included in the controller 55 allows the right traveling as the specific actuator. Long-time energy-saving excavation work by a combined operation of the motor 13, the left travel motor 14 and an actuator such as the boom cylinder 32 of the front work machine 30 which is another actuator, and a single traveling operation with a low frequent operation speed Both can be realized.

  In addition, the prime mover rotation speed control means included in the controller 55 can smoothly shift the rotation speed between the first rotation speed (N1) and the second rotation speed (N2). The operability of the actuator can be realized.

And the relationship between the pump discharge pressure (P) and the output (E), that is, the absorption horsepower of the hydraulic pump, obtained in this another embodiment.

  This second embodiment corresponds to claim 2 of the present application. The prime mover rotational speed control means provided in the controller 55 is configured such that the absorption horsepower, that is, the output (E) of the hydraulic pump 41 is the first rotational speed (N1). The number of revolutions (N) of the hydraulic pump electric motor 22 can be controlled so that the maximum absorption horsepower in (1) is not exceeded. That is, the prime mover rotational speed control means of the second embodiment performs the setting relationship between the travel lever input, that is, the operation amount (Pi) and the rotational speed (N) of the hydraulic pump motor 41 shown in FIG. a) It is comprised by the setting relationship of the pump discharge pressure (P) shown in the figure, and the rotation speed (N) of the electric motor 22 for hydraulic pumps. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment described above.

  In the second embodiment, the motor speed control means has the setting relationship shown in FIG. 3 described above, that is, the setting relationship shown in FIG. 3 equivalent to that in the first embodiment, and FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, when the first rotational speed (N1) is selected in accordance with the input of the travel lever in FIG. 3, that is, the operation amount Pi1 or less, the magnitude of the discharge pressure (P) of the hydraulic pump 41 is increased. Regardless of the case, the selected first rotational speed (N1) is maintained. Further, when the second rotational speed (N2) is selected in accordance with the input of the travel lever in FIG. 3, that is, the operation amount Pi2 or more, the discharge pressure (P) of the hydraulic pump 41 is higher than the predetermined pressure P1. The selected second rotational speed (N2) is maintained and the discharge pressure (P) of the hydraulic pump 41 is maintained regardless of the magnitude of the discharge pressure (P) of the hydraulic pump 41 until the predetermined pressure P0 is reached. However, between the discharge pressures P0 and P1, the rotation speed (N) is controlled so that the pump output (E) becomes E1, and the discharge pressure (P) of the hydraulic pump 41 becomes equal to or higher than the predetermined pressure P1. Sometimes, the rotation speed (N) is changed from the second rotation speed (N2) to the first rotation speed (N1) regardless of the magnitude of the discharge pressure (P) of the hydraulic pump 41. It is configured to hold one rotation speed (N1).
