The display controller 28 acquires the reference position data P and the turning body orientation data Q from the global coordinate calculation unit 23. The display controller 28 acquires cylinder attitude data θ <b> 1 to θ <b> 3 from the sensor controller 30.

  The bucket position data generation unit 28B generates bucket position data indicating the three-dimensional position of the bucket 8 based on the reference position data P, the swing body orientation data Q, and the cylinder attitude data θ1 to θ3. In the present embodiment, the bucket position data is cutting edge position data S indicating the three-dimensional position of the cutting edge 8a.

  The target excavation landform data generation unit 28C generates a target excavation landform U indicating the target shape of the excavation target by using the cutting edge position data S and target construction information T described later stored in the target construction information storage unit 28A. Further, the display controller 28 causes the display unit 29 to display the target excavation landform U based on the target excavation landform U. The display unit 29 is a monitor, for example, and displays various types of information on the excavator 100. In the present embodiment, the display unit 29 includes an HMI (Human Machine Interface) monitor as a guidance monitor for computerized construction.

  The display controller 28 can calculate the position of the local coordinates when viewed in the global coordinate system based on the detection result by the position detection device 20. The local coordinate system is a three-dimensional coordinate system based on the excavator 100. The reference position of the local coordinate system is, for example, a reference position P2 located on the turning axis AX of the turning body 3.

  The target construction information storage unit 28A stores target construction information (three-dimensional design landform data) T indicating the three-dimensional design landform that is the target shape of the work area. The target construction information T includes coordinate data and angle data required to generate a target excavation landform (design landform data) U indicating the design landform that is the target shape of the excavation target. The target construction information T may be supplied to the display controller 28 via, for example, a wireless communication device. The target construction information T may be transferred from a connection type recording device such as a memory.

  The target excavation landform data generation unit 28C includes the posture angle θ1 of the boom 6, the posture angle θ2 of the arm 7, the posture angle θ3 of the bucket 8, the length L1 of the boom 6, the length L2 of the arm 7, and the length L3 of the bucket 8. And the position P3 of the bucket blade edge 8a in the global coordinate system with respect to the reference position P2 of the global coordinate system is calculated from the position information of the boom pin 13. The target excavation landform data generation unit 28C, based on the target construction information T and the cutting edge position data 8a, as shown in FIG. An intersection line E with the design landform is acquired as a candidate line for the target excavation landform U. The target excavation landform data generation unit 28 </ b> C sets a point immediately below the bucket edge 8 a on the candidate line of the target excavation landform U as a reference point AP of the target excavation landform U. The target excavation landform data generation unit 28C determines one or a plurality of inflection points before and after the reference point AP of the target excavation landform U and lines before and after the target excavation landform U to be excavated. The target excavation landform data generation unit 28C generates a target excavation landform U indicating the design landform that is the target shape of the excavation target. Based on the target excavation landform U and the bucket blade edge 8a, the relative distance d between the target excavation landform U and the blade edge 8a is acquired.

  The target excavation landform data generation unit 28C outputs to the display unit 29 the target excavation landform U and the bucket blade edge 8a and the distance between the target excavation landform U and the bucket blade edge 8a. The display unit 29 displays the positional relationship between the target excavation landform and the bucket 8 as an image, and displays the distance d between the target excavation landform U and the bucket blade edge 8a. The target excavation landform data generation unit 28 </ b> C outputs the calculated target excavation landform U to the work machine controller 26.

The work machine controller 26 controls the display unit of the man-machine interface unit 32 to display predetermined information on the display unit.

[Limited excavation control]
Next, an example of limited excavation control according to the present embodiment will be described. The work machine controller 26 includes a target speed determination unit 52, a distance acquisition unit 53, a speed limit determination unit 54, a work machine control unit 57, and an arm control unit 263 for the bucket 8 determined with respect to the operation amount of the operation device 25. Have The work machine controller 26 receives the position information of the posture angles θ1, θ2, θ3 and the boom pin 13 from the sensor controller 30, the angle θ5 output from the IMU 24, the detection result by the position detection device 20, and the position information of the antenna 21. The position P3 of the blade edge 8a in the local coordinate system is derived. The work machine controller 26 acquires blade edge position information independently of the display controller 28.

  The target speed determination unit 52 uses the inclination angle θ5 with respect to the front-rear direction of the vehicle body 1 and the operation amounts MB, MA, and MT acquired from the sensor 66 for driving the work machines of the boom 6, arm 7, and bucket 8. Obtained as Vc_bm, Vc_am, Vc_bk corresponding to the lever operation. The distance acquisition unit 53 acquires the target excavation landform U from the display controller 28. The distance acquisition unit 53 calculates the distance d between the cutting edge 8a of the bucket 8 and the target excavation landform U in the direction perpendicular to the target excavation landform U based on the cutting edge position data P3 and the target excavation landform U. The speed limit determining unit 54 limits the movement of the boom 6 according to the distance d and the target speed. The work machine control unit 57 determines an intervention command CBI for the intervention valve 27C for the speed limit speed limit Vc_bm_lmt. The work implement controller 28 executes limited excavation control (intervention control) by outputting the intervention speed for the boom 6 in accordance with the above command.

  The arm control unit 263 acquires the operation amount MA of the arm 7 from the target speed determination unit 52. When it is determined that the operation of the arm 7 described later needs to be restricted, the speed limit Vc_am_lmt is output to the work machine control unit 57. The work machine control unit 57 outputs a deceleration command CA to the control valve 27 (27A, 27B) according to the speed limit Vc_am_lmt. The determination of the restriction of the arm control unit 263 will be described in detail later.

  Hereinafter, an example of the limited excavation control according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6 and schematic diagrams of FIGS. 7 to 14. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of limited excavation control according to the present embodiment.

  As described above, the target excavation landform U is set (step SA1). After the target excavation landform U is set, the work machine controller 26 determines the target speed Vc of the work machine 2 (step SA2). The target speed Vc of the work machine 2 includes a boom target speed Vc_bm, an arm target speed Vc_am, and a bucket target speed Vc_bkt. The boom target speed Vc_bm is the speed of the cutting edge 8a when only the boom cylinder 10 is driven. The arm target speed Vc_am is the speed of the cutting edge 8a when only the arm cylinder 11 is driven. The bucket target speed Vc_bkt is the speed of the blade edge 8a when only the bucket cylinder 12 is driven. The boom target speed Vc_bm is calculated based on the boom operation amount. The arm target speed Vc_am is calculated based on the arm operation amount. The bucket target speed Vc_bkt is calculated based on the bucket operation amount.

  The storage unit 264 of the work machine controller 26 stores target speed information that defines the relationship between the boom operation amount and the boom target speed Vc_bm. The work machine controller 26 determines the boom target speed Vc_bm corresponding to the boom operation amount based on the target speed information. The target speed information is, for example, a map that describes the magnitude of the boom target speed Vc_bm with respect to the boom operation amount. The target speed information may be in the form of a table or a mathematical expression. The target speed information includes information that defines the relationship between the arm operation amount and the arm target speed Vc_am. The target speed information includes information that defines the relationship between the bucket operation amount and the bucket target speed Vc_bkt. The work machine controller 26 determines the arm target speed Vc_am corresponding to the arm operation amount based on the target speed information. The work machine controller 26 determines a bucket target speed Vc_bkt corresponding to the bucket operation amount based on the target speed information.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the work machine controller 26 sets the boom target speed Vc_bm to a speed component (vertical speed component) Vcy_bm in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the target excavation landform U and a direction parallel to the surface of the target excavation landform U. Are converted into Vcx_bm (step SA3).

  From the reference position data P and the target excavation landform U, the work machine controller 26 determines the inclination of the vertical axis of the local coordinate system (the turning axis AX of the turning body 3) with respect to the vertical axis of the global coordinate system and the vertical axis of the global coordinate system. And the inclination of the surface of the target excavation landform U in the vertical direction. The work machine controller 26 obtains an angle β1 representing the inclination between the vertical axis of the local coordinate system and the vertical direction of the surface of the target excavation landform U from these inclinations.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the work machine controller 26 uses a trigonometric function to calculate the boom target speed Vc_bm from the angle β2 between the vertical axis of the local coordinate system and the direction of the boom target speed Vc_bm. The velocity component VL1_bm in the direction and the velocity component VL2_bm in the horizontal axis direction are converted.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the work machine controller 26 uses a trigonometric function to calculate a velocity component VL1_bm in the vertical axis direction of the local coordinate system from the inclination β1 between the vertical axis of the local coordinate system and the vertical direction of the surface of the target excavation landform U. Then, the velocity component VL2_bm in the horizontal axis direction is converted into a vertical velocity component Vcy_bm and a horizontal velocity component Vcx_bm for the target excavation landform U. Similarly, the work machine controller 26 converts the arm target speed Vc_am into a vertical speed component Vcy_am and a horizontal speed component Vcx_am in the vertical axis direction of the local coordinate system. The work machine controller 26 converts the bucket target speed Vc_bkt into a vertical speed component Vcy_bkt and a horizontal speed component Vcx_bkt in the vertical axis direction of the local coordinate system.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the work machine controller 26 acquires a distance d between the blade edge 8a of the bucket 8 and the target excavation landform U (step SA4). The work machine controller 26 calculates the shortest distance d between the blade edge 8a of the bucket 8 and the surface of the target excavation landform U from the position information of the blade edge 8a and the target excavation landform U. In the present embodiment, limited excavation control is executed based on the shortest distance d between the cutting edge 8a of the bucket 8 and the surface of the target excavation landform U.

  The work machine controller 26 calculates the speed limit Vcy_lmt of the work machine 2 as a whole based on the distance d between the cutting edge 8a of the bucket 8 and the surface of the target excavation landform U (Step SA5). The speed limit Vcy_lmt of the work implement 2 as a whole is a movement speed of the cutting edge 8a that is allowable in a direction in which the cutting edge 8a of the bucket 8 approaches the target excavation landform U. The storage unit 264 of the work machine controller 26 stores speed limit information that defines the relationship between the distance d and the speed limit Vcy_lmt.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of speed limit information according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the horizontal axis is the distance d, and the vertical axis is the speed limit Vcy_lmt. The distance d when the cutting edge 8a is located outside the surface of the target excavation landform U, that is, the distance d when the excavator 100 is located on the working machine 2 side is a positive value, and the cutting edge 8a is inward of the surface of the target excavation landform U. That is, the distance d when located on the inner side of the excavation object with respect to the target excavation landform U is a negative value. As shown in FIG. 10, the distance d when the cutting edge 8a is located above the surface of the target excavation landform U is a positive value. The distance d when the cutting edge 8a is located below the surface of the target excavation landform U is a negative value. The distance d when the cutting edge 8a is in a position where it does not erode with respect to the target excavation landform U is a positive value. The distance d when the cutting edge 8a is in a position where it erodes with respect to the target excavation landform U is a negative value. When the cutting edge 8a is positioned on the target excavation landform U, that is, when the cutting edge 8a is in contact with the target excavation landform U, the distance d is zero.

  In the present embodiment, the speed when the blade edge 8a goes from the inside of the target excavation landform U to the outside is a positive value, and the speed when the blade edge 8a goes from the outside of the target excavation landform U to the inside is negative. Value. That is, the speed at which the blade edge 8a is directed above the target excavation landform U is a positive value, and the speed at which the blade edge 8a is directed below the target excavation landform U is a negative value.

  In the speed limit information, the gradient of the speed limit Vcy_lmt when the distance d is between d1 and d2 is smaller than the gradient when the distance d is greater than or equal to d1 or less than d2. d1 is greater than zero. d2 is smaller than 0. In the operation near the surface of the target excavation landform U, in order to set the speed limit in more detail, the slope when the distance d is between d1 and d2 is the slope when the distance d is d1 or more or d2 or less. Make it smaller than the slope. When the distance d is equal to or greater than d1, the speed limit Vcy_lmt is a negative value, and the speed limit Vcy_lmt decreases as the distance d increases. That is, when the distance d is greater than or equal to d1, the speed toward the lower side of the target excavation landform U increases as the cutting edge 8a is farther from the surface of the target excavation landform U above the target excavation landform U, and the absolute value of the speed limit Vcy_lmt is growing. When the distance d is 0 or less, the speed limit Vcy_lmt is a positive value, and the speed limit Vcy_lmt increases as the distance d decreases. That is, when the distance d at which the blade edge 8a of the bucket 8 moves away from the target excavation landform U is 0 or less, the speed toward the upper side of the target excavation landform U decreases as the blade edge 8a is farther from the target excavation landform U below the target excavation landform U. The absolute value of the speed limit Vcy_lmt is increased.

  When the distance d is equal to or greater than the predetermined value dth1, the speed limit Vcy_lmt is Vmin. The predetermined value dth1 is a positive value and is larger than d1. Vmin is smaller than the minimum value of the target speed. That is, when the distance d is greater than or equal to the predetermined value dth1, the operation of the work machine 2 is not limited. Therefore, when the cutting edge 8a is far away from the target excavation landform U above the target excavation landform U, the operation of the work machine 2, that is, limited excavation control is not performed. When the distance d is smaller than the predetermined value dth1, the operation of the work machine 2 is restricted. When the distance d is smaller than the predetermined value dth1, the operation of the boom 6 is restricted.

  The work machine controller 26 calculates a vertical speed component (restricted vertical speed component) Vcy_bm_lmt of the speed limit of the boom 6 from the speed limit Vcy_lmt, the arm target speed Vc_am, and the bucket target speed Vc_bkt of the work machine 2 as a whole (step SA6).

  As shown in FIG. 12, the work machine controller 26 subtracts the vertical speed component Vcy_am of the arm target speed and the vertical speed component Vcy_bkt of the bucket target speed from the speed limit Vcy_lmt of the work machine 2 as a whole. The limited vertical velocity component Vcy_bm_lmt is calculated.

  As illustrated in FIG. 13, the work machine controller 26 converts the limited vertical speed component Vcy_bm_lmt of the boom 6 into a limited speed (boom limited speed) Vc_bm_lmt of the boom 6 (step SA7). The work machine controller 26 determines the direction perpendicular to the surface of the target excavation landform U from the rotation angle α of the boom 6, the rotation angle β of the arm 7, the rotation angle of the bucket 8, the vehicle body position data P, the target excavation landform U, and the like. And the direction of the boom limit speed Vc_bm_lmt are obtained, and the limit vertical speed component Vcy_bm_lmt of the boom 6 is converted into the boom limit speed Vc_bm_lmt. The calculation in this case is performed by a procedure reverse to the calculation for obtaining the vertical speed component Vcy_bm in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the target excavation landform U from the boom target speed Vc_bm. Thereafter, a cylinder speed corresponding to the boom intervention amount is determined, and an opening command corresponding to the cylinder speed is output to an intervention valve 27C described later.

  The pilot pressure based on the lever operation is filled in the oil passage 451B, and the pilot pressure based on the boom intervention is filled in the oil passage 502. The shuttle valve 51 described later selects the one with the larger pressure (step SA8).

  For example, when intervention to the boom 6 is not performed, the restriction condition is not satisfied when the magnitude of the boom limit speed Vc_bm_lmt below the boom 6 is smaller than the magnitude of the boom target speed Vc_bm below. Further, when the boom 6 is raised by intervention of the boom 6, the restriction condition is satisfied when the boom limit speed Vc_bm_lmt upward of the boom 6 is larger than the boom target speed Vc_bm upward. Yes.

  The work machine controller 26 controls the work machine 2. When controlling the boom 6, the work machine controller 26 controls the boom cylinder 10 by transmitting a boom command signal to the intervention valve 27C. The boom command signal has a current value corresponding to the boom command speed.

  When the restriction condition is not satisfied, the shuttle valve 51 selects the supply of hydraulic oil from the oil passage 451B, and the normal operation is performed (step SA9). The work machine controller 26 operates the boom cylinder 10, the arm cylinder 11, and the bucket cylinder 12 according to the boom operation amount, the arm operation amount, and the bucket operation amount. The boom cylinder 10 operates at the boom target speed Vc_bm. The arm cylinder 11 operates at the arm target speed Vc_am. The bucket cylinder 12 operates at the bucket target speed Vc_bkt.

  When the restriction condition is satisfied, the shuttle valve 51 selects the supply of hydraulic oil from the oil passage 502, and the restriction excavation control is executed (step SA10).

  By subtracting the vertical speed component Vcy_am of the arm target speed and the vertical speed component Vcy_bkt of the bucket target speed from the speed limit Vcy_lmt of the work implement 2 as a whole, the limit vertical speed component Vcy_bm_lmt of the boom 6 is calculated. Therefore, when the speed limit Vcy_lmt of the work implement 2 as a whole is smaller than the sum of the vertical speed component Vcy_am of the arm target speed and the vertical speed component Vcy_bkt of the bucket target speed, the limit vertical speed component Vcy_bm_lmt of the boom 6 is increased. Negative value.

  In this case, the work machine controller 27 lowers the boom 6 but decelerates the boom target speed Vc_bm. For this reason, it can prevent that the bucket 8 erodes the target excavation landform U, suppressing an operator's uncomfortable feeling small.

  When the speed limit Vcy_lmt of the work implement 2 as a whole is larger than the sum of the vertical speed component Vcy_am of the arm target speed and the vertical speed component Vcy_bkt of the bucket target speed, the limit vertical speed component Vcy_bm_lmt of the boom 6 becomes a positive value. . Accordingly, the boom speed limit Vc_bm_lmt is a positive value. In this case, the work machine controller 26 raises the boom 6 even if the operating device 25 is operated in the direction in which the boom 6 is lowered. For this reason, the expansion of the erosion of the target excavation landform U can be suppressed quickly.

  When the cutting edge 8a is positioned above the target excavation landform U, the absolute value of the limited vertical speed component Vcy_bm_lmt of the boom 6 decreases as the cutting edge 8a approaches the target excavation landform U, and the surface of the target excavation landform U The absolute value of the speed component (restricted horizontal speed component) Vcx_bm_lmt of the speed limit of the boom 6 in the parallel direction is also reduced. Therefore, when the blade edge 8a is positioned above the target excavation landform U, the speed of the boom 6 in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the target excavation landform U increases as the blade edge 8a approaches the target excavation landform U. Both the speed in the direction parallel to the surface of the target excavation landform U is reduced. By operating the left operation lever 25L and the right operation lever 25R simultaneously by the operator of the excavator 100, the boom 6, the arm 7, and the bucket 8 operate simultaneously. At this time, assuming that the target speeds Vc_bm, Vc_am, and Vc_bkt of the boom 6, the arm 7 and the bucket 8 are input, the above-described control will be described as follows.

  FIG. 14 shows a change in the speed limit of the boom 6 when the distance d between the target excavation landform U and the cutting edge 8a of the bucket 8 is smaller than a predetermined value dth1, and the cutting edge 8a of the bucket 8 moves from the position Pn1 to the position Pn2. An example is shown. The distance between the blade edge 8a and the target excavation landform U at the position Pn2 is smaller than the distance between the blade edge 8a and the target excavation landform U at the position Pn1. Therefore, the limited vertical speed component Vcy_bm_lmt2 of the boom 6 at the position Pn2 is smaller than the limited vertical speed component Vcy_bm_lmt1 of the boom 6 at the position Pn1. Therefore, the boom limit speed Vc_bm_lmt2 at the position Pn2 is smaller than the boom limit speed Vc_bm_lmt1 at the position Pn1. Further, the limited horizontal speed component Vcx_bm_lmt2 of the boom 6 at the position Pn2 is smaller than the limited horizontal speed component Vcx_bm_lmt1 of the boom 6 at the position Pn1. However, at this time, the arm target speed Vc_am and the bucket target speed Vc_bkt are not limited. For this reason, no limitation is imposed on the vertical velocity component Vcy_am and the horizontal velocity component Vcx_am of the arm target velocity, and the vertical velocity component Vcy_bkt and the horizontal velocity component Vcx_bkt of the bucket target velocity.

  As described above, by not limiting the arm 7, a change in the arm operation amount corresponding to the operator's intention to excavate is reflected as a change in the speed of the cutting edge 8 a of the bucket 8. For this reason, this embodiment can suppress the uncomfortable feeling in the operation at the time of excavation of the operator while suppressing the expansion of the erosion of the target excavation landform U.

  Thus, in this embodiment, the work machine controller 26 is based on the target excavation landform U indicating the design landform that is the target shape of the excavation target and the blade edge position data S indicating the position of the blade edge 8a of the bucket 8. The speed of the boom 6 is limited so that the relative speed at which the bucket 8 approaches the target excavation landform U is reduced according to the distance d between the target excavation landform U and the blade edge 8a of the bucket 8. The work machine controller 26 uses the target excavation landform U and the cutting edge 8a of the bucket 8 based on the target excavation landform U indicating the design landform that is the target shape of the excavation target and the cutting edge position data S indicating the position of the cutting edge 8a of the bucket 8. The speed limit is determined according to the distance d, and the work equipment 2 is controlled so that the speed in the direction in which the work equipment 2 approaches the target excavation landform U is equal to or lower than the speed limit. Thereby, the excavation restriction control for the cutting edge 8a is executed, and the position of the cutting edge 8a with respect to the target excavation landform U is controlled.

  In the following description, it is appropriate to output a control signal to the control valve 27 connected to the boom cylinder 10 to control the position of the boom 6 so that the intrusion of the cutting edge 8a into the target excavation landform U is suppressed. This is called intervention control.

  The intervention control is executed when the relative speed of the cutting edge 8a in the vertical direction with respect to the target excavation landform U is larger than the speed limit. The intervention control is not executed when the relative speed of the cutting edge 8a is smaller than the speed limit. That the relative speed of the blade edge 8a is smaller than the speed limit includes the movement of the bucket 8 with respect to the target excavation landform U so that the bucket 8 and the target excavation landform U are separated.

  The work machine controller 26 controls the arm 7 and the bucket 8. The work machine controller 26 transmits a pilot command hydraulic pressure for driving the arm cylinder 11 by transmitting an arm command signal CA to the control valve 27 (27A, 27B) when an arm speed limit command is output from an arm control unit described later. The supply of The drive of the arm cylinder 11 is restricted by the supply restriction of the pilot hydraulic pressure. The arm command signal CA has a current value corresponding to the arm command speed. The work machine controller 26 controls the bucket cylinder 12 in the same manner as the arm cylinder 11 by transmitting a bucket command signal to the control valve 27. The bucket command signal has a current value corresponding to the bucket command speed.

[Cylinder stroke sensor]
Next, the cylinder stroke sensor 16 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. In the following description, the cylinder stroke sensor 16 attached to the boom cylinder 10 will be described. The same applies to the cylinder stroke sensor 17 attached to the arm cylinder 11.

  A cylinder stroke sensor 16 is attached to the boom cylinder 10. The cylinder stroke sensor 16 measures the stroke of the piston. As shown in FIG. 15, the boom cylinder 10 includes a cylinder tube 10X and a cylinder rod 10Y that can move relative to the cylinder tube 10X in the cylinder tube 10X. A piston 10V is slidably provided on the cylinder tube 10X. A cylinder rod 10Y is attached to the piston 10V. The cylinder rod 10Y is slidably provided on the cylinder head 10W. A chamber defined by the cylinder head 10W, the piston 10V, and the cylinder inner wall is a rod-side oil chamber 40B. An oil chamber opposite to the rod-side oil chamber 40B via the piston 10V is a cap-side oil chamber 40A. The cylinder head 10W is provided with a seal member that seals the gap with the cylinder rod 10Y and prevents dust and the like from entering the rod-side oil chamber 40B.

  The cylinder rod 10Y is degenerated when hydraulic oil is supplied to the rod-side oil chamber 40B and discharged from the cap-side oil chamber 40A. Further, the cylinder rod 10Y extends when the hydraulic oil is discharged from the rod-side oil chamber 40B and the hydraulic oil is supplied to the cap-side oil chamber 40A. That is, the cylinder rod 10Y moves linearly in the left-right direction in the figure.

  A case 164 that covers the cylinder stroke sensor 16 and accommodates the cylinder stroke sensor 16 therein is provided outside the rod-side oil chamber 40B and in close contact with the cylinder head 10W. The case 164 is fastened to the cylinder head 10W by a bolt or the like and fixed to the cylinder head 10W.

  The cylinder stroke sensor 16 includes a rotation roller 161, a rotation center shaft 162, and a rotation sensor unit 163. The surface of the rotating roller 161 is in contact with the surface of the cylinder rod 10Y, and is rotatably provided according to the direct movement of the cylinder rod 10Y. That is, the linear motion of the cylinder rod 10Y is converted into rotational motion by the rotating roller 161. The rotation center shaft 162 is disposed so as to be orthogonal to the linear movement direction of the cylinder rod 10Y.

  The rotation sensor unit 163 is configured to be able to detect the rotation amount (rotation angle) of the rotation roller 161 as an electrical signal. An electric signal indicating the rotation amount (rotation angle) of the rotating roller 161 detected by the rotation sensor unit 163 is output to the sensor controller 30 via the electric signal line. The sensor controller 30 converts the electric signal into the position (stroke position) of the cylinder rod 10Y of the boom cylinder 10.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the rotation sensor unit 163 includes a magnet 163a and a Hall IC 163b. A magnet 163a as a detection medium is attached to the rotating roller 161 so as to rotate integrally with the rotating roller 161. The magnet 163a rotates in accordance with the rotation of the rotating roller 161 about the rotation center shaft 162. The magnet 163a is configured such that the N pole and the S pole are alternately switched according to the rotation angle of the rotating roller 161. The magnet 163a is configured such that the magnetic force (magnetic flux density) detected by the Hall IC 163b periodically varies with one rotation of the rotating roller 161 as one cycle.

  The Hall IC 163b is a magnetic force sensor that detects a magnetic force (magnetic flux density) generated by the magnet 163a as an electric signal.

Changes periodically. The rotation angle of the rotating roller 161 can be measured from the magnitude of the voltage output from the Hall IC 163b.

  Further, the number of rotations of the rotating roller 161 can be measured by counting the number of times one cycle of the electrical signal (voltage) output from the Hall IC 163b is repeated. Then, the displacement amount (boom cylinder length) of the cylinder rod 10Y of the boom cylinder 10 is calculated based on the rotation angle of the rotation roller 161 and the rotation number of the rotation roller 161.

  Further, the sensor controller 30 can calculate the moving speed (cylinder speed) of the cylinder rod 10Y based on the rotation angle of the rotation roller 161 and the rotation speed of the rotation roller 161.

  When the limited excavation control and the operation restriction of each work machine are not executed, the work machine controller 26 controls the control valve 27 to open the pilot hydraulic line 450. By opening the pilot hydraulic line 450, the pilot hydraulic pressure in the oil passage 451 and the pilot hydraulic pressure in the oil passage 452 become equal. With the pilot hydraulic line 450 opened, the pilot hydraulic pressure is adjusted based on the operation amount of the operating device 25.

  When the work implement 2 is controlled by the work implement controller 26 such as limited excavation control, the work implement controller 26 outputs a control signal to the control valve 27. The oil passage 451 has a predetermined pressure, for example, by the action of a pilot relief valve. When a control signal is output from the work machine controller 26 to the control valve 27, the control valve 27 operates based on the control signal. The hydraulic oil in the oil passage 451 is supplied to the oil passage 452 via the control valve 27. The pressure of the hydraulic oil in the oil passage 452 is adjusted (depressurized) by the control valve 27.

In the present embodiment, the pressure sensor 66 detects the pilot hydraulic pressure before being adjusted by the control valve 27. The pressure sensor 67 detects the pilot oil pressure after being adjusted by the control valve 27.

  When the hydraulic oil whose pressure is adjusted by the control valve 27A is supplied to the direction control valve 64, the spool moves to one side with respect to the axial direction. When the hydraulic oil whose pressure is adjusted by the control valve 27B is supplied to the direction control valve 64, the spool moves to the other side in the axial direction. Thereby, the position of the spool in the axial direction is adjusted.

  For example, the work machine controller 26 can output a control signal to at least one of the control valve 270A and the control valve 270B to adjust the pilot hydraulic pressure for the direction control valve 640 connected to the boom cylinder 10.

  In addition, the work machine controller 26 can output a control signal to at least one of the control valve 271 </ b> A and the control valve 271 </ b> B to adjust the pilot hydraulic pressure with respect to the direction control valve 641 connected to the arm cylinder 11.

  In addition, the work machine controller 26 can output a control signal to at least one of the control valve 272 </ b> A and the control valve 272 </ b> B to adjust the pilot hydraulic pressure with respect to the direction control valve 642 connected to the bucket cylinder 12.

  The work machine controller 26 determines the target excavation landform U and the bucket 8 based on the target excavation landform U indicating the design landform that is the target shape to be excavated and the bucket position data (blade position data S) indicating the position of the bucket 8. The speed of the boom 6 is limited so that the speed at which the bucket 8 approaches the target excavation landform U is reduced according to the distance d. The work machine controller 26 includes a boom intervention unit that outputs a control signal for limiting the speed of the boom 6. In the present embodiment, when the work implement 2 is driven based on the operation of the operation device 25, the boom intervention portion of the work implement controller 26 outputs the blade 8a of the bucket 8 so as not to enter the target excavation landform U. Based on the control signal, the movement of the boom 6 is controlled (intervention control). In the excavation with the bucket 8, the boom 6 is raised by the work machine controller 26 so that the cutting edge 8 a does not enter the target excavation landform U.

  In the present embodiment, an oil passage 502 is connected to a control valve 27C that operates based on a control signal related to intervention control that is output from the work machine controller 26 for intervention control. The oil passage 501 is connected to the control valve 27 </ b> C and supplies pilot oil supplied to the direction control valve 640 connected to the boom cylinder 10. The oil passage 502 is connected to the control valve 27 </ b> C and the shuttle valve 51, and is connected to the oil passage 4520 </ b> B connected to the direction control valve 640 via the shuttle valve 51.

  The shuttle valve 51 has two inlets and one outlet. One inlet is connected to the oil passage 502. The other inlet is connected to oil passage 4510B. The outlet is connected to oil passage 4520B. Shuttle valve 51 connects between the oil passage 502 and oil passage 4510B, the oil passage having the higher pilot oil pressure, and oil passage 4520B. For example, when the pilot oil pressure of the oil passage 502 is higher than the pilot oil pressure of the oil passage 4510B, the shuttle valve 51 connects the oil passage 502 and the oil passage 4520B and does not connect the oil passage 4510B and the oil passage 4520B. Operate. As a result, the pilot oil in the oil passage 502 is supplied to the oil passage 4520 </ b> B via the shuttle valve 51. When the pilot oil pressure in oil passage 4510B is higher than the pilot oil pressure in oil passage 502, shuttle valve 51 operates so as to connect oil passage 4510B and oil passage 4520B and not to connect oil passage 502 and oil passage 4520B. . As a result, the pilot oil in the oil passage 4510B is supplied to the oil passage 4520B via the shuttle valve 51.

  The oil passage 501 is provided with a pressure sensor 68 that detects the pilot oil pressure of the pilot oil in the oil passage 501. Pilot oil before passing through the control valve 27C flows through the oil passage 501. The pilot oil after passing through the control valve 27C flows through the oil passage 502. The control valve 27C is controlled based on a control signal output from the work machine controller 26 in order to execute intervention control.

  When the intervention control is not executed, the work machine controller 26 does not output a control signal to the control valve 27 so that the direction control valve 64 is driven based on the pilot hydraulic pressure adjusted by the operation of the operating device 25. For example, the work machine controller 26 fully opens the control valve 270B so that the direction control valve 640 is driven based on the pilot hydraulic pressure adjusted by the operation of the operating device 25, and opens the oil passage 501 with the control valve 27C. close up.

  When executing the intervention control, the work machine controller 26 controls each control valve 27 so that the direction control valve 64 is driven based on the pilot hydraulic pressure adjusted by the control valve 27C. For example, when executing the intervention control that restricts the movement of the boom 6, the work machine controller 26 controls the pilot hydraulic pressure adjusted by the control valve 27 </ b> C to be higher than the pilot hydraulic pressure adjusted by the operating device 25. The valve 27C is controlled. Thus, pilot oil from the control valve 27C is supplied to the direction control valve 640 via the shuttle valve 51.

  When the boom 6 is raised at a high speed by the operating device 25 so that the bucket 8 does not enter the target excavation landform U, the intervention control is not executed. The operating device 25 is operated so that the boom 6 is raised at a high speed, and the pilot oil pressure is adjusted based on the operation amount, so that the pilot oil pressure adjusted by the operation of the operating device 25 is controlled by the control valve 27C. It becomes higher than the pilot oil pressure to be adjusted. As a result, the pilot hydraulic pilot oil adjusted by the operation of the operating device 25 is supplied to the direction control valve 640 via the shuttle valve 51.

  Here, when the work implement controller 26 determines that it is necessary to limit the excavation of the arm 7, the work implement controller 26 issues a command to restrict the flow rate supply to the control valve 271 </ b> B. Thereby, the supply of the pilot hydraulic pressure to the oil passage 4521B by the lever operation to the arm cylinder 11 is restricted.

[Control of arm (first embodiment)]
FIG. 19 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of the operation of the work machine 2 when the limited excavation control (boom intervention control) is performed. As described above, the hydraulic system 300 includes the boom cylinder 10 for driving the boom 6, the arm cylinder 11 for driving the arm 7, and the bucket cylinder 12 for driving the bucket 8.

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the excavation work by the bucket 8, the hydraulic system 300 operates so that the boom 6 is raised and the arm 7 is lowered. In excavation work, intervention control including raising operation of the boom 6 is executed so that the bucket 8 does not enter the target excavation landform U.

  In the boom intervention control, the boom 6 cannot move at a high speed and may be delayed with respect to the movement of the arm 7 and the bucket 8. In the excavation work, the arm 7 moves down, and can move at a higher speed than the boom 6 due to gravity (self-weight). The boom 6 is raised by intervention control on the boom 6. The arm cylinder 11 is loaded according to the weight of the arm 7 and the weight of the bucket 8, whereas the boom cylinder 10 is loaded according to the weight of the boom 6, the weight of the arm 7, and the weight of the bucket 8. Load is applied. That is, the load applied to the boom cylinder 10 is larger than the load applied to the arm cylinder 11. The boom cylinder 10 needs to operate by overcoming the load. As a result, in synchronization with the movement of the arm 7, there is a possibility that it is difficult for the boom 6 to appropriately move (raise operation) so that the penetration of the bucket 8 into the target excavation landform U is suppressed. The boom 6 is driven by a hydraulic cylinder (boom cylinder) 10. As a result, the boom 6 may not be able to follow the movement of the arm 7. As a result, the bucket 8 may enter the target excavation landform U, and the excavation accuracy may be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, considering the difference in operating conditions (whether the raising operation or the lowering operation) between the boom 6 and the arm 7 during excavation work, the difference in load conditions between the boom cylinder 10 and the arm cylinder 11, and the like, In the boom intervention control including the raising operation of the boom 6, the work machine controller 26 performs limit control of the arm 7 so that the arm 7 moves in accordance with the movement of the boom 6.

The work machine controller 26 uses a timer 261 for starting time measurement based on the detection result of the detection device 70, and a limit operation amount Mr for limiting the speed of the arm 7 as an elapsed time from the time measurement start time by the timer 261. A control signal N is generated so that the arm 7 is driven with the limit operation amount Mr during a predetermined period from the start of time measurement by the timer 261 and the limit value setting unit 262 set in association with the control signal N. An arm control unit 263 that outputs a speed limit Vc_am_lmt and a storage unit 264 are provided.

  In the present embodiment, the detection device 70 includes a pressure sensor 66 (661B). The detection device 70 detects the operation amount M of the operation device 25 by detecting the pilot hydraulic pressure adjusted by the operation device 25.

  When the operating device 25 is operated at high speed (rapidly) by the operator to execute the lowering operation of the arm 7, the working machine is configured so that a delay in the raising intervention speed to the boom 6 with respect to the lowering speed of the arm 7 does not occur. The controller 26 restricts the operation amount (arm operation amount) M of the operating device 25 and drives the arm 7 with the limited operation amount Mr. That is, in the present embodiment, in the boom intervention control, the arm 7 is driven with the limited operation amount Mr during at least a part of the period when the boom 6 is raised and the arm 7 is lowered. As a result, even if the operating device 25 is operated at a high speed by the operator to drive the arm 7, the arm 7 moves at a limited speed (low speed). Occurrence of the follow-up delay of the boom 6 that delays the intervention speed is suppressed.

  The limit operation amount Mr is a value that suppresses the occurrence of the follow-up delay of the boom 6 even if the arm 7 is operated with the limit operation amount Mr. The limited operation amount Mr is obtained in advance by experiment or simulation, and is stored in the memory (storage unit) of the work machine controller 26.

  In the present embodiment, the work machine controller 26 compares the arm operation amount M detected by the detection device 70 with the limited operation amount Mr. The arm operation amount M detected by the detection device 70 and the limit operation amount Mr from the limit value setting unit 262 are output to the arm control unit 263. The arm control unit 263 includes a comparison unit. The comparison unit of the arm control unit 263 compares the arm operation amount M with the limited operation amount Mr.

  Based on the comparison result between the arm operation amount M and the limit operation amount Mr, the arm control unit 263 selects an operation amount having a smaller value from the arm operation amount M and the limit operation amount Mr. The arm control unit 263 outputs the arm limit speed Vc_am_lmt to the work machine control unit 57 so that the arm 7 is driven with the selected operation amount among the arm operation amount M and the limit operation amount Mr.

  In the following description, control for limiting the operation (speed) of the arm 7 so as not to cause a delay in the raising intervention speed to the boom 6 with respect to the lowering speed of the arm 7 is appropriately referred to as arm speed limit control. In addition, among the arm operation amount M and the limited operation amount Mr, the selected operation amount (small operation amount) is appropriately referred to as an operation amount Mf.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. 22, FIG. 23, and FIG. 24 are timing charts for explaining an example of the operation of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment.

  In the excavation work, the operating device 25 is operated by the operator (step SB1). The operator operates the operating device 25 to drive the arm 7. The operating device 25 is operated so that the arm 7 performs the lowering operation.

  Intervention control for the boom 6 is started so that the bucket 8 does not enter the target excavation landform U (step SB2). In the intervention control, the bucket 8 according to the distance d between the target excavation landform U and the bucket 8 based on the target excavation landform U indicating the target shape of the excavation target and the cutting edge position data S indicating the position of the cutting edge 8a of the bucket 8. The speed of the boom 8 is limited so that the speed of approaching the target excavation landform U decreases. The intervention control includes the raising operation of the boom 6. The boom 6 is raised by intervention control on the boom 6.

  The detecting device 70 detects the operation amount M of the operating device 25 (step SB3). The detection device 70 includes a pressure sensor 66 and detects the operation amount M of the operation device 25 by detecting the pilot hydraulic pressure adjusted by the operation device 25. In the present embodiment, at least the pilot hydraulic pressure (pilot hydraulic pressure of the oil passage 451) for the direction control valve 641 is detected by the pressure sensor 661.

  The detection value of the detection device 70 (pressure sensor 661) is output to the timer 261. The timer 261 starts time measurement based on the detection result of the detection device 70 (step SB4). In FIG. 22, FIG. 23, and FIG. 24, a time point t0 is a time measurement start time point by the timer 261.

  In FIG. 20 of the present embodiment, the timer 261 starts time measurement at the start of operation of the operating device 25 for driving the arm 7. That is, the time point t0 is a start time point of the operation of the controller device 25. Note that the time measurement start time by the timer 261 may be a time when the detection value of the detection device 70 exceeds a threshold value. The threshold value may be the value of the limited operation amount Mr. The time measurement start time point by the timer 261 may be a time point when the increase amount (change speed) of the detection value of the detection device 70 per unit time exceeds an allowable value.

  The limit value setting unit 262 sets the limit operation amount Mr for limiting the speed (lowering speed) of the arm 7 in association with the elapsed time from the time measurement start time t0 by the timer 261 (step SB5). The limit operation amount Mr is a value that suppresses the occurrence of the follow-up delay of the boom 6 even if the arm 7 is operated with the limit operation amount Mr. The limited operation amount Mr is obtained in advance by experiment or simulation. The limited operation amount Mr is set in association with the elapsed time from the time measurement start time t0 by the timer 261. In the following description, data indicating the limit operation amount Mr set in association with time is appropriately referred to as a limit pattern.

  FIG. 22 shows the relationship between the elapsed time from the start time t0 and the operation amount M of the arm 7 of the operating device 25. FIG. 23 shows the relationship between the elapsed time from the start time t0 and the limit operation amount Mr set by the limit value setting unit 262. That is, FIG. 23 shows a limit pattern. FIG. 24 shows the relationship between the elapsed time from the start time t0 and the operation amount Mf of the arm 7. As described above, the start time t0 is a time measurement start time by the timer 261. 22, 23, and 24, the horizontal axis represents time (elapsed time). In FIG. 22, the vertical axis represents the operation amount M of the arm 7 and the count value of the timer 261. In FIG. 23, the vertical axis represents the limit operation amount Mr and the count value of the timer 261. In FIG. 24, the vertical axis represents the operation amount Mf of the arm 7 and the count value of the timer 261.

  In FIG. 22, the relationship between the elapsed time from the start time t0 and the operation amount M of the arm 7 of the operating device 25 is indicated by a line S1. In FIG. 23, the relationship (limit pattern) between the elapsed time from the start time t0 and the limited operation amount Mr is indicated by a line S2. In FIG. 24, the relationship (limit pattern) between the elapsed time from the start time t0 and the operation amount Mf is indicated by a line Sc. Line Lt shows the count value by the timer 261. In FIG. 23, the line S2 is indicated by a solid line, and the line S1 is indicated by a dotted line.

  In the present embodiment, the operation amount (M, Mr, Mf) of the arm 7 correlates with the pilot oil pressure acting on the direction control valve 641 connected to the arm cylinder 11. In this embodiment, the unit of the operation amount (M, Mr, Mf) of the arm 7 is megapascal (MPa). The pilot oil pressure corresponding to the operation amount M is adjusted by the operation device 25. The pilot hydraulic pressure corresponding to the limited operation amount Mr is adjusted by the control valve 271 controlled by the arm control unit 263.

  The operation amount M corresponds to a detection value of a pressure sensor 661 that detects pilot oil pressure acting on the direction control valve 640 connected to the arm cylinder 11. The pressure sensor 661 outputs a detected value of pilot hydraulic pressure corresponding to the operation amount M of the operating device 25 for driving the arm cylinder 11.

  The limit operation amount Mr corresponds to a target value (limit value) of the pilot hydraulic pressure that acts on the directional control valve 640 connected to the arm cylinder 11. The correlation between the pilot hydraulic pressure and the limited operation amount Mr is obtained in advance and stored in the storage unit 264 of the work machine controller 26. In the arm speed limit control, the arm control unit 263 determines the limit operation amount Mr so that the target value of the pilot oil pressure acts on the direction control valve 641, and obtains the pilot oil pressure corresponding to the limit operation amount Mr. A control signal N is generated.

  The operation amount Mf corresponds to a detection value of a pressure sensor 671 that detects pilot oil pressure acting on the direction control valve 640 connected to the arm cylinder 11. As described above, the operation amount Mf is the smaller operation amount of the operation amount M and the limited operation amount Mr. When the operation amount M is smaller than the limited operation amount Mr, the arm control unit 263 does not generate the control signal N. When the operation amount M is smaller than the limit operation amount Mr, the control valve 271 is fully opened, and the pilot hydraulic pressure based on the operation amount M acts on the direction control valve 641. When the operation amount M is larger than the limit operation amount Mr, the arm control unit 263 generates a control signal N to the control valve 271 so that the arm speed limit control is executed based on the limit operation amount Mr. When the operation amount M is larger than the limit operation amount Mr, the pilot hydraulic pressure adjusted by the control valve 271 and based on the limit operation amount Mr acts on the direction control valve 641.

  FIG. 22 shows an example of the profile of the operation amount M. A profile of the operation amount M is indicated by a line S1. As shown in FIG. 22, at time point to, the operating device 25 is operated by the operator to drive the arm 7. The timer 261 starts time measurement. In the present embodiment, as an example, it is assumed that the operating device 25 is operated by the operator so that the operation amount M suddenly increases from zero to a value M3, as indicated by a line S1 in FIG. The manipulated variable M maintains the value M3 for a certain period after reaching the value M3, and then decreases until it reaches zero. When the arm speed limit control is not executed, the operation amount M (Mf) has a profile indicated by a line S1 in FIG. In this case, there is a possibility that the raising intervention speed to the boom 6 is delayed with respect to the lowering speed of the arm 7.

  FIG. 23 shows an example of a profile of the limited operation amount Mr. A profile of the limited operation amount Mr is indicated by a line S2. As described above, the limited operation amount Mr is an operation amount that is determined in advance so that a delay in the raising intervention speed to the boom 6 does not occur. Here, when the operation amount M exceeds the value M1, the value M1 is set as the lower limit threshold value so that the limited operation amount Mr is generated. The limited operation amount Mr is smaller than the operation amount M. In the present embodiment, the driving of the arm 7 is controlled so that the arm 7 is not operated with the operation amount M larger than the limit operation amount Mr during the predetermined period Ts in which the time measurement by the timer 261 is performed. In the present embodiment, the predetermined period Ts is a period between time t0 and time t1.

  As shown in FIG. 23, since the operation amount M exceeds the value M1 at the time point t0 when the operation by the operator is performed, the limited operation amount Mr increases from zero to the value M2. That is, in the vicinity of the start time t0, the limited operation amount Mr is the value M2. The value M2 is a value smaller than the value M3. The limit operation amount Mr maintains the value M2 for a certain period after reaching the value M2, and then gradually increases, and reaches the value M3 at the end time t1. After that, the limited operation amount Mr maintains the value M3 and then decreases until the operation amount M based on the operation of the operator becomes less than the value M1 until it becomes zero. As described above, in the predetermined period Ts from the time point t0 to the time point t1, the limited operation amount Mr is set to be smaller than the operation amount M. The value of the time point t0 that is the start point of the limit pattern S2 shown in FIG. 23 is the value M2, and the value of the time point t1 that is the end point of the limit pattern S2 is the value M3. After the elapse of time t1, the limited operation amount Mr matches the operation amount M. Thus, in the present embodiment, the limited operation amount Mr in the first half of the predetermined period Ts is smaller than the limited operation amount Mr in the second half of the predetermined period Ts.

  In the present embodiment, the arm control unit 263 compares the operation amount M and the limited operation amount Mr, selects the smaller operation amount, and generates the control signal N based on the selected operation amount Mf. In the present embodiment, as described with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23, the limited operation amount Mr is smaller than the operation amount M in the predetermined period Ts from the time point t0 to the time point t1. Therefore, during a predetermined period from time t0 to time t1, the arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N so that the arm 7 is driven based on the limited operation amount Mr.

  After the time point t1 has elapsed, the limited operation amount Mr is set to the value M3. In the present embodiment, after the elapse of time t1, the limited operation amount Mr and the operation amount M are equal. In the present embodiment, the arm control unit 263 compares the operation amount M with the limited operation amount Mr and selects the operation amount M. In the present embodiment, the arm speed limit control ends at time t1. That is, in the present embodiment, the driving of the arm 7 based on the limit operation amount Mr (arm speed limit control) is started at the time measurement start time t0 by the timer 261, and the end time after the elapse of the predetermined period Ts from the disclosure time t0. The process ends at t1. After a predetermined period Ts has elapsed from the time measurement start time t0 by the timer 261, the driving based on the limited operation amount Mr is released.

  FIG. 24 shows an example of the profile of the operation amount Mf. A profile of the operation amount Mf is indicated by a line Sc. As shown in FIG. 24, in a predetermined period Ts from the time point t0 to the time point t1, the pilot oil pressure is adjusted and the arm 7 is operated according to the limit operation amount Mr, as indicated by the line Sc. After the elapse of the predetermined period Ts, as indicated by the line Sc, the pilot oil pressure is adjusted according to the operation amount M, and the arm 7 is operated.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the profile of the operation amount Mf of the arm 7 is determined so as to change along the line Sc in FIG. Specifically, when the operation by the controller device 25 is started at the time point t0, the operation amount Mf increases rapidly from zero to the value M2, and is maintained at the value M2 for a certain period. Thereafter, the operation amount Mf gradually increases and reaches the value M3 at time t1. After the elapse of time t1, the value M3 is maintained for a certain period, and then decreases to zero.

  The arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N so that the arm 7 is driven with the limited operation amount Mr during a predetermined period Ts from the time measurement start time t0 by the timer 261 (step SB6). That is, the arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N for driving the arm 7 so that the arm 7 is driven according to the profile of the limited operation amount Mr during the predetermined period Ts.

  The arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N so that the arm 7 is driven with the limited operation amount Mr during the predetermined period Ts, and after the predetermined period Ts when the driving based on the limited operation amount Mr is released, The generation of the control signal N is stopped so that the arm 7 is driven by the operation amount M. That is, the arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N so that the arm 7 moves at a low speed during the predetermined period Ts and the arm 7 moves at a high speed after the predetermined period Ts has elapsed.

  An arm limit speed Vc_am_lmt is output based on the control signal N generated by the arm control unit 263, and an arm operation command CA based on the arm limit speed Vc_am_lmt is output to the control valve 27 connected to the arm cylinder 11. Based on the control signal N, the control valve 27 adjusts (limits) the pilot hydraulic pressure so that the amount of hydraulic oil supplied to the arm cylinder 11 is adjusted (limited). By restricting the amount of hydraulic oil supplied to the arm cylinder 11, the cylinder speed is adjusted and the speed of the arm 7 is limited. The arm control unit 263 suppresses the speed (lowering speed) of the arm 7 in the lowering operation of the arm 7. In the present embodiment, the speed of the arm 7 is limited during the predetermined period Ts. However, even if the predetermined period Ts is not provided, an effect of suppressing the decrease in excavation accuracy can be obtained.

[effect]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the control system 200 of the construction machine 100 including the work machine 2 including the boom 6, the arm 7, and the bucket 8 functions as a detector that detects the attitude of the work machine 2. First, second and third cylinder stroke sensors 16, 17, 18, an operating device 25 operated to drive a movable member including at least one of the arm 7 and the bucket 8, and an operation amount of the operating device 25 A detection device 70 that detects M, a control valve 27 that adjusts the amount of hydraulic oil supplied to the hydraulic cylinders 10, 11, and 12 that drive the work machine 2, and a detection result of the detection device 70, And a work machine controller 26 that functions as a control device that outputs a control signal to the control valve 27.

  The work machine controller 26 has cutting edge position data indicating the three-dimensional position of the bucket 8 based on the cylinder attitude data θ1, θ2, and θ3 that are detection results of the first, second, and third cylinder stroke sensors 16, 17, and 18. (Bucket position data) The bucket position data generation unit 28B that generates S and the target excavation landform U indicating the target shape of the excavation target by the work implement 2 are acquired, and based on the cutting edge position data S and the target excavation landform U The distance acquisition unit 53 that calculates the distance d between the blade edge 8a of the bucket 8 and the target excavation landform U, the timer 261 that starts time measurement based on the detection result of the detection device 70, and the start of time measurement by the timer 261 A limit value setting unit 262 for setting a limit operation amount Mr for limiting the speed of the movable member based on the elapsed time from the time point, and the detection result of the detection device 70 Based on the above, when the operation of the operating device 25 is started so that the boom 6 is raised and the arm 7 is lowered in the excavation work by the bucket 8, the control valve 271 is driven so that the arm 7 is driven by the limited operation amount Mr. And a movable member control unit 263 that outputs a control signal N.

  Thereby, even if the oil pressure generation | occurrence | production delay with respect to the operation command by the operating device 25 occurs, the fall of the bucket 8 is suppressed and the bucket 8 is suppressed from exceeding the target excavation landform U. Therefore, a decrease in excavation accuracy is suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the digging operation is determined, and the operation of the arm 7 is limited at the start of the digging. Since the timing at which the operation of the arm 7 is limited is limited at the start of excavation, a decrease in the work amount of the construction machine 100 is suppressed. Thereby, the control system 200 can aim at coexistence of suppression of the fall of the work amount of the construction machine 100, and suppression of the fall of the blade edge | tip 8a.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the limit value setting unit 262 is configured so that the limit operation amount Mr increases as the elapsed time from the time measurement start time by the timer 261 increases, that is, as the elapsed time increases. The restriction operation amount Mr is set so that the restriction on the operation of the above is relaxed. The cutting edge 8a can be moved along the target excavation landform U by sufficiently restricting the operation of the arm 7 at the start of excavation and then gradually relaxing the restriction of the operation of the arm 7.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, since the speed of the arm 7 is limited in the intervention control (excavation restriction control) of the boom 6, the delay of the raising intervention speed of the boom 6 with respect to the excavation operation of the arm 7 is suppressed. The Therefore, a decrease in excavation accuracy is suppressed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, time measurement is performed by the timer 261, and the driving of the arm 7 is limited for a predetermined period Ts from the time measurement start time t0 by the timer 261. Thereby, the fall of excavation accuracy is suppressed, without causing complication of control. Further, after the predetermined period Ts has elapsed, the arm 7 is driven based on an operation by the operator, so that a reduction in workability is suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, the time measurement start time (start time of driving limitation of the arm 7) t0 of the timer 261 is the start time of the operation of the operation device 25, the time when the detection value of the detection device 70 exceeds the threshold, and It includes at least one of the time points when the amount of increase in the detection value of the detection device 70 per unit time exceeds the allowable value. Thereby, the drive restriction of the arm 7 can be smoothly executed in a period in which a delay in the raising intervention speed of the boom 6 with respect to the excavation operation of the arm 7 is likely to occur.

  In the present embodiment, the driving based on the limited operation amount Mr is released after the elapse of a predetermined period Ts from the time measurement start time t0 by the timer 261. Thereby, normal work can be performed based on the arm operation amount M by the operating device 25.

  In the present embodiment, the limited operation amount Mr in the first half of the predetermined period Ts is smaller than the limited operation amount Mr in the second half. In the first half of the predetermined period Ts, by tightening the restriction on the arm 7, the occurrence of the follow-up delay of the boom 6 is suppressed. In the latter half of the predetermined period Ts, the reduction of work efficiency is suppressed by loosening the restriction on the arm 7.

  In the present embodiment, the arm 7 is driven with the limited operation amount Mr during at least a part of the period when the boom 6 is raised and the arm 7 is lowered. As a result, even if the operating device 25 is operated at a high speed by the operator to drive the arm 7, the arm 7 moves at a limited speed (low speed). Speed delay is suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, in the arm speed limit control, the pilot hydraulic pressure is adjusted by the control signal N, and the supply amount of hydraulic oil to the arm cylinder 11 can be adjusted accurately at high speed.

  In this embodiment, the movement of the arm 7 is limited in order to suppress the follow-up delay of the boom 6 in the boom intervention control. The movement of the bucket 8 may be limited in the boom intervention control. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the operating device 25 is operated to drive the bucket 8, the operation amount of the operating device 25 is detected by the detection device 70 (pressure sensor 662), and the detection result of the detection device 70 is displayed. Based on this, the time measurement by the timer 261 is started, the limit operation amount for limiting the speed of the bucket 8 is set in association with the elapsed time from the time measurement start time by the timer 261, and the time measurement by the timer 261 is started. A bucket control unit may be provided so that the bucket 8 is driven with a limited control amount during a predetermined period from the time point, and a control signal may be output from the bucket control unit. The same applies to the following embodiments.

  Note that the movement of both the arm 7 and the bucket 8 may be limited in the intervention control. The same applies to the following embodiments.

[Control of Arm (Second Embodiment)]
Next, a second embodiment of the control of the arm 7 (or bucket 8) will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is simplified or omitted.

  FIG. 25 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. 26, 27, and 28 are timing charts for explaining an example of the operation of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the control system 200 includes a variable displacement hydraulic pump (main hydraulic pump) 41 that supplies hydraulic oil, and a directional control valve 641 (64) that is supplied with hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump 41. , Arm cylinder 11 driven by hydraulic oil supplied from hydraulic pump 41 via direction control valve 641, pump controller (pump control unit) 49 for controlling hydraulic pump 41, mode setting unit 26M, working machine controller 26. The pump controller 49 is connected to the work machine controller 26. The pump controller 49 outputs a control signal to the pump swash plate control device 41C to control the pump swash plate of the hydraulic pump 41.

  The work machine controller 26 is connected to the man-machine interface unit 32. The man-machine interface unit 32 includes a mode setting unit 26M. The mode setting unit 26M sets the work mode of the excavator 100 based on the operator's operation. In the present embodiment, the mode setting unit 26M stores information related to the first work mode and information related to the second work mode. The mode setting unit may be separately provided with a switch or the like.

  In the present embodiment, the control system 200 controls the excavator 100 in the first work mode and the second work mode. The first work mode is a work efficiency priority mode (P mode). The second work mode is a fuel saving mode (economy mode). In the second work mode, the maximum discharge capacity of the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump 41 that becomes the second maximum discharge capacity is the maximum discharge capacity of the hydraulic oil from the hydraulic pump 41 that becomes the first maximum discharge capacity in the first work mode. The hydraulic oil supply is limited to a maximum discharge capacity smaller than that.

  In the present embodiment, both the limited operation amount (first work mode limit operation amount) Mr in the first work mode and the limited operation amount (second work mode limit operation amount) Mr in the second work mode are both. These are determined in advance and stored in the storage unit 264 (not shown in FIG. 25) of the work machine controller 26. When controlling the excavator 100 in the first work mode, the work machine controller 26 performs arm speed limit control using the limit operation amount Mr in the first work mode. When the work machine controller 26 controls the excavator 100 in the second work mode, the work machine controller 26 performs arm speed limit control using the limit operation amount Mr in the second work mode.

  FIG. 26 shows the relationship between the elapsed time from the start time t0 and the limit operation amount Mr set by the limit value setting unit 262 for the first work mode (P mode). A profile of the limited operation amount Mr in the first work mode is indicated by a line S2. FIG. 26 also shows the relationship between the elapsed time from the start time t0 and the operation amount M of the arm 7 of the operating device 25. A profile of the operation amount M is indicated by a line S1. In FIG. 26, the horizontal axis represents time (elapsed time), and the vertical axis represents the operation amount (M, Mr) of the arm 7 and the count value of the timer 261.

  FIG. 27 shows the relationship between the elapsed time from the start time t0 and the limit operation amount Mr set by the limit value setting unit 262 for the second work mode (economy mode). A profile of the limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode is indicated by a line S3. In FIG. 27, the profile of the limited operation amount Mr in the first work mode is also shown along line S2. In FIG. 27, the horizontal axis represents time (elapsed time), and the vertical axis represents the operation amount (Mr) of the arm 7 and the count value of the timer 261.

  FIG. 28 shows, as an example, the relationship between the elapsed time from the start time t0 and the operation amount Mf of the arm 7 in the second work mode. In FIG. 28, the horizontal axis represents time (elapsed time), and the vertical axis represents the operation amount (Mf) of the arm 7 and the count value of the timer 261.

  As in the above-described embodiment, it is assumed that the operating device 25 is operated by the operator so that the operation amount M suddenly increases from zero to a value M3, as indicated by a line S1 in FIG. The manipulated variable M maintains the value M3 for a certain period after reaching the value M3, and then decreases until it reaches zero. When the arm speed limit control is not executed, the operation amount M (Mf) has a profile indicated by a line S1 in FIG. In this case, there is a possibility that a delay in the raising intervention speed of the boom 6 with respect to the excavation operation of the arm 7 may occur.

  A line S2 in FIG. 26 shows an example of a profile of the limited operation amount Mr in the first work mode. The profile (limit pattern) of the limited operation amount Mr in the first work mode shown in FIG. 26 is equivalent to the profile of the limited operation amount Mr described with reference to FIG. Description of the profile of the limited operation amount Mr in the first work mode is omitted.

  FIG. 27 shows an example of a profile of the limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode. A profile of the limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode is indicated by a line S3. Similar to the limited operation amount Mr in the first work mode, the limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode is a predetermined operation amount so that the follow-up delay of the boom 6 does not occur. The limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode is smaller than the limited operation amount Mr and the operation amount M in the first work mode.

  In the first work mode, the driving of the arm 7 is controlled so that the arm 7 is not operated with the operation amount M larger than the limit operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2 in the predetermined period Ts in which the time measurement by the timer 261 is performed. Is done.

  In the second work mode, the drive of the arm 7 is controlled so that the arm 7 is not operated with the operation amount M larger than the limit operation amount Mr indicated by the line S3 in the predetermined period Ts in which the time measurement by the timer 261 is performed. Is done.

  The predetermined period Ts is a period between time t0 and time t1.

  As shown in FIG. 27, at time point t0, the limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode is zero, and increases from zero to the value M2u. The value M2u is larger than zero and smaller than the value M2. That is, in the vicinity of the start time t0, the limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode is the value M2u. The limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode maintains the value M2u for a certain period after reaching the value M2u, and then gradually increases, and reaches the value M3 at the end time t1. Thereafter, the limit operation amount Mr decreases until it reaches zero after maintaining the value M3. Thus, during the predetermined period Ts from time t0 to time t1, the limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode is set to be smaller than the limited operation amount Mr and the operation amount M in the first work mode. . The value of the time point t0 that is the start point of the limit pattern S3 shown in FIG. 27 is the value M2u, and the value of the time point t1 that is the end point of the limit pattern S2 is the value M3. After the elapse of time t1, the limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode matches the operation amount M. Similar to the first work mode, also in the second work mode, the limited operation amount Mr in the first half of the predetermined period Ts is smaller than the limited operation amount Mr in the second half of the predetermined period Ts.

  In the present embodiment, the arm control unit 263 compares the operation amount M and the limited operation amount Mr, selects the smaller operation amount, and generates the control signal N based on the selected operation amount Mf. Also in the present embodiment, the limited operation amount Mr is smaller than the operation amount M during a predetermined period Ts from time t0 to time t1. Therefore, during a predetermined period from time t0 to time t1, the arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N so that the arm 7 is driven based on the limited operation amount Mr.

  In the present embodiment, in the first work mode, the arm control unit 263 causes the arm 7 to be driven based on the limited operation amount Mr for the first work mode indicated by the line S2 in FIG. A control signal N is output to the control valve 271. In the second work mode, the arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N so that the arm 7 is driven based on the limited operation amount Mr for the second work mode indicated by the line S3 in FIG. .

  After the time point t1 has elapsed, the limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode is set to the value M3. After the elapse of time t1, the limited operation amount Mr and the operation amount M in the second work mode are equal. As in the above-described embodiment, the arm control unit 263 compares the operation amount M with the limited operation amount Mr and selects the operation amount M. In the present embodiment, the arm speed limit control ends at time t1. That is, in the present embodiment, the driving of the arm 7 based on the limit operation amount Mr (arm speed limit control) is started at the time measurement start time t0 by the timer 261, and the end time after the elapse of the predetermined period Ts from the disclosure time t0. The process ends at t1. After a predetermined period Ts has elapsed from the time measurement start time t0 by the timer 261, the driving based on the limited operation amount Mr is released.

  FIG. 28 shows an example of the profile of the operation amount Mf in the second work mode. A profile of the operation amount Mf in the second work mode is indicated by a line Sc. As shown in FIG. 28, in a predetermined period Ts from time t0 to time t1, the pilot hydraulic pressure is adjusted and the arm 7 is operated according to the limit operation amount Mr for the second work mode as indicated by the line Sc. The After the elapse of the predetermined period Ts, as indicated by the line Sc, the pilot oil pressure is adjusted according to the operation amount M, and the arm 7 is operated.

  That is, in the present embodiment, the profile of the operation amount Mf of the arm 7 is determined so as to change along the line Sc in FIG. Specifically, when the operation by the controller device 25 is started at time t0, the operation amount Mf increases rapidly from zero to the value M2u, and is maintained at the value M2u for a certain period. Thereafter, the operation amount Mf gradually increases and reaches the value M3 at time t1. After the elapse of time t1, the value M3 is maintained for a certain period, and then decreases to zero.

  The arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N so that the arm 7 is driven with the limited operation amount Mr for the second work mode in a predetermined period Ts from the time measurement start time t0 by the timer 261.

  The arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N so that the arm 7 is driven with the limited operation amount Mr for the second work mode in the predetermined period Ts, and the drive based on the limited operation amount Mr for the second work mode. After the predetermined period Ts has elapsed, the generation of the control signal N is stopped so that the arm 7 is driven with the operation amount M. Thereby, also in this embodiment, the arm 7 moves at a low speed during the predetermined period Ts, and the arm 7 moves at a high speed after the predetermined period Ts has elapsed.

[effect]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode is smaller than the limited operation amount Mr in the first work mode.

  The second work mode is more advantageous than the first work mode from the viewpoint of reducing fuel consumption. On the other hand, in the second work mode, the amount of hydraulic oil supplied to the hydraulic cylinder 60 decreases. Therefore, in the second work mode, it is more difficult for the boom 6 and the arm 7 to move at a high speed than in the first work mode. In addition, there is a high possibility that a speed delay of the raising intervention to the boom 6 will occur.

  In the present embodiment, the limited operation amount Mr in the second work mode is smaller than the limited operation amount Mr in the first work mode. That is, in the second work mode, the movement of the arm 7 is more strictly limited than in the first work mode. As a result, the occurrence of a speed delay of the raising intervention to the boom is suppressed. Therefore, a decrease in excavation accuracy is suppressed.

[Control of Arm (Third Embodiment)]
Next, a third embodiment of control of the arm 7 (or bucket 8) will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is simplified or omitted.

  In the present embodiment shown in FIG. 25, the bucket 8 is replaceable. Various buckets 8 are connected to the tip of the arm 7.

  In a state where the first weight bucket 8 is connected to the tip of the arm 7, for example, a limit pattern indicated by a line S3 as described with reference to FIG. 27 is set. Specifically, the display controller 26 transmits the selected type to the work machine controller 26 when the bucket type is selected. The work machine controller 26 selects a limit pattern corresponding to the type of bucket. In a state where the second weight bucket 8 that is smaller than the first weight is connected to the tip of the arm 7, the limit pattern indicated by the line S2 as described with reference to FIG. 26, for example, is set. That is, when the first weight bucket 8 is connected to the boom 6 via the arm 7, the limit operation amount Mr is connected to the boom 6 via the arm 7 that is a second weight bucket 8 smaller than the first weight. This is smaller than the limit operation amount Mr when the operation is performed.

  When a heavy bucket 8 is connected to the boom 6 via the arm 7, there is a high possibility that a follow-up delay of the boom 6 will occur. On the other hand, when the light bucket 8 is connected to the boom 6 via the arm 7, if the movement of the arm 7 is excessively limited, workability is deteriorated.

[effect]
As described above, in the present embodiment, the limit operation amount Mr when the first weight bucket 8 is connected is smaller than the limit operation amount Mr when the second weight bucket 8 is connected. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the tracking delay of the boom 6 can be suppressed, suppressing the fall of workability | operativity.

[Control of arm (fourth embodiment)]
Next, a fourth embodiment of control of the arm 7 (or bucket 8) will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is simplified or omitted.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which the amount of increase in the detection value of the detection device 70 per unit time exceeds the allowable value during the operation of the operation device 25 will be described.

  FIG. 29 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation amount M and the limited operation amount Mr. Similar to the above-described embodiment, the operation amount M of the operation device 25 is derived from the detection result of the detection device 70 (pressure sensor 661). The operation amount M derived from the detection result of the detection device 70 is compared with the limit operation amount Mr (limit pattern) prepared in advance and stored in the storage unit 264, and the operation amount M is smaller than the limit operation amount Mr. At this time, the arm 7 operates based on the operation amount M of the operation device 25.

  In a state where the controller device 25 is operated so as not to exceed the limit operation amount Mr, as shown in FIG. 29, the operation amount M increases rapidly and the controller device 25 rapidly increases so as to exceed the limit operation amount Mr. May be operated. In that case, even if the operation amount M is compared with the limited operation amount Mr and the speed of the arm 7 is limited based on the limited operation amount Mr, the speed of the arm 7 may not be sufficiently limited.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the work machine controller 26 starts (restarts) the time measurement by the timer 261 when the operation amount M suddenly increases during the operation of the operation device 25, and sets the limit operation amount Mr. The arm speed limit control is performed by changing a part.

  In the present embodiment, the sudden increase in the operation amount M includes that the increase amount of the operation amount M per unit time exceeds an allowable value. In the present embodiment, the operation amount M is derived from the detection result of the detection device 70. The sudden increase in the operation amount M includes that the increase amount per unit time of the detection value of the detection device 70 (pressure sensor 661) exceeds the allowable value.

  In the present embodiment, when the amount of increase in the detection value of the detection device 70 per unit time exceeds the allowable value, the work machine controller 26 restarts the time measurement by the timer 261 and sets the limit operation amount Mr. The arm speed limit control is performed by changing the section.

  In the present embodiment, the increase amount of the detection value of the detection device 70 (pressure sensor 661) is the operation amount M of the operation device 25 detected by the detection device 70 and the processing amount generated from the operation amount M by the low-pass filter processing. The difference (deviation) from R is assumed to be.

  FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating an example of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 30, the detection value of the detection device 70 (the operation amount M of the operation device 25) is output to the work machine controller 26. Further, the detection value of the detection device 70 is output to the filter device 71. The filter device 71 can perform first-order low-pass filter processing. The filter device 71 performs first-order low-pass filter processing on the detection value of the detection device 70 to generate a processing amount R. The work machine controller 26 obtains a deviation between the operation amount M and the processing amount R.

  FIG. 31 is a schematic diagram illustrating a relationship between the operation amount M and the processing amount R when the operation device 25 is operated rapidly (at high speed). As shown in FIG. 31, when the operating device 25 is operated rapidly and the operation amount M increases stepwise, the deviation between the operation amount M and the processing amount R is large.

  FIG. 32 is a schematic diagram illustrating a relationship between the operation amount M and the processing amount R when the operation device 25 is operated gently (low speed). As shown in FIG. 32, when the operating device 25 is operated gently and the operation amount M increases gently, the deviation between the operation amount M and the processing amount R is small.

  In the present embodiment, when the operating device 25 is operated to drive the arm 7 for excavation work, a deviation between the operation amount M and the processing amount R occurs during the operation of the operating device 25. When the allowable value is exceeded, the time measurement of the timer 261 is started (restarted).

  FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. 34, 35, and 36 are timing charts for explaining an example of the operation of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. 34, 35, and 36, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the operation amount (M, Mr, Mf) of the arm 7 and the count value of the timer.

  Similar to the above-described embodiment, when the operation of the arm 7 is started by the operating device 25, the time measurement by the timer 261 is started (step SC1). When the arm 7 is lowered for excavation work by the bucket 8, boom intervention control including raising operation of the boom 6 is executed according to the distance d between the target design landform U and the blade edge 8a (step SC2). .

  An operation amount M of the operating device 25 for driving the arm 7 is detected by the detection device 70 (pressure sensor 661) (step SC3).

  Similar to the above-described embodiment, the detection result of the operation amount M is output to the comparison unit of the arm control unit 263. Further, information regarding the limit operation amount Mr is output from the limit value setting unit 262 to the comparison unit of the arm control unit 263. The arm control unit 263 compares the operation amount M with the limited operation amount Mr according to the above-described embodiment (step SC4).

  If it is determined in step SC4 that the operation amount M is larger than the limited operation amount Mr, that is, if YES in step SC4, the arm control unit 263 selects the limited operation amount Mr and sets it as the operation amount Mf. The arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N based on the selected limited operation amount Mr. Thereby, the arm speed limit control is performed based on the limit operation amount Mr (step SC5).

  If it is determined in step SC4 that the operation amount M is equal to or less than the limited operation amount Mr, that is, if No in step SC4, the arm control unit 263 selects the operation amount M and sets it as the operation amount Mf. The arm control unit 263 does not generate the control signal N. The pilot oil pressure is adjusted based on the operation amount M of the operating device 25, and the arm 7 is driven (step SC6).

  FIG. 34 shows an example of the profile of the operation amount M according to this embodiment. A profile of the operation amount M is indicated by a line S1. As shown in FIG. 34, at the time point to, the operating device 25 is operated by the operator to drive the arm 7. The timer 261 starts time measurement. In the present embodiment, as an example, it is assumed that the operating device 25 is operated by the operator so that the operation amount M increases from zero to a value M1u as indicated by a line S1 in FIG.

  The value M1u is smaller than the lower limit value M1 of the operation amount at which the limited operation amount Mr is generated and the value M2 of the limited operation amount Mr. The manipulated variable M maintains the value M1u for a certain period after reaching the value M1u. In the present embodiment, the manipulated variable M is maintained at the value M1u during the period from the time point t0 to the time point t0n.

  In FIG. 34, the profile of the limited operation amount Mr is indicated by a line S2. The limited operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2 is the same as the limited operation amount Mr described with reference to FIG. A detailed description of the limited operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2 is omitted.

  At time t0, the limited operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2 indicates the value M2. In the period from the time point t0 to the time point t0n, the limited operation amount Mr is larger than the value M2 or the value M2. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 34, the operation amount M does not exceed the limit operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2 from the time point t0 to the time point t0n. Therefore, the arm 7 is driven based on the operation amount M of the operating device 25.

  In a state where the operating device 25 is operated so as not to exceed the limit operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2 and the arm 7 is driven based on the operation amount M, the operation amount is indicated as indicated by the line S1 in FIG. The operating device 25 may be operated rapidly so that M increases rapidly and exceeds the limit operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2.

  In the present embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 34, at the time point t0n during the operation of the controller device 25, the controller device 25 is rapidly operated, and the operation amount M is rapidly increased. As shown in FIG. 34, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the operation amount M rapidly increases from the value M1u to the value M3v at the time point t0n. The value M3v is larger than the value M3.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the amount of increase in the detection value of the detection device 70 (pressure sensor 661) is determined from the operation amount M of the operation device 25 detected by the detection device 70 and the operation amount M by the low-pass filter process. A difference (deviation) from the generated processing amount R is assumed. When the operation amount M increases rapidly, the change in the operation amount M is detected by the detection device 70 (step SC7). The detection result of the detection device 70 is output to the determination unit of the work machine controller 26. The determination unit of the work machine controller 26 determines whether or not the deviation between the operation amount M and the processing amount R exceeds an allowable value (step SC8).

  When it is determined in step SC8 that the deviation is equal to or less than the allowable value, that is, in the case of No in step SC8, the work machine controller 26 returns to step SC4 and determines the increased operation amount M and the limited operation amount Mr. The comparison is performed and the above processing is executed.

  When it is determined in step SC8 that the deviation has exceeded the allowable value, that is, in the case of Yes in step SC8, work implement controller 26 resets the time measurement from time t0 and then starts time measurement by timer 261 ( (Restart) (step SC9).

  The limit value setting unit 262 also resets the limit operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2 along with the reset of the time measurement, and associates the limit operation amount Mr with the elapsed time from the time measurement start time t0n by the timer 261. Set (reset).

  FIG. 35 shows an example of the profile of the limited operation amount Mr that has been reset. The reset profile of the limited operation amount Mr is indicated by a line S4. The limited operation amount Mr is a predetermined operation amount so that the follow-up delay of the boom 6 does not occur. The limited operation amount Mr is smaller than the operation amount M indicated by the line S1 in FIG.

  The time measurement by the timer 261 is restarted at the time point t0n, and the arm 7 is driven so that the arm 7 is not operated with the operation amount M larger than the limit operation amount Mr during the predetermined period Tu in which the time measurement by the timer 261 is performed. Is controlled. In the present embodiment, the predetermined period Tu is a period between the time point t0n and the time point t3.

  As shown in FIG. 35, at the time point t0n, the limited operation amount Mr is the value M2. The value M2 is smaller than the value M3v. The limited operation amount Mr set to the value M2 at the time point t0n maintains the value M2 for a certain period, and then gradually increases, and reaches the value M3 at the time point t2. After that, the limited manipulated variable Mr maintains the value M3 until time t3, and then decreases until it reaches zero. As described above, the limited operation amount Mr is set to be smaller than the operation amount M in the predetermined period Tu from the time point t0n to the time point t3. The value of the time point t0n that is the start point of the limit pattern S4 shown in FIG. 35 is the value M2, the value immediately before the time point t3 that is the end point of the limit pattern S4 is the value M3, and the value of the time point t3 is zero. is there.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the limited operation amount Mr in the first half of the predetermined period Tu is smaller than the limited operation amount Mr in the second half of the predetermined period Tu.

  The arm control unit 263 compares the operation amount M with the reset limited operation amount Mr (step SC10).

  If it is determined in step SC10 that the operation amount M is equal to or less than the limited operation amount Mr, that is, if No in step SC10, the arm control unit 263 selects the operation amount M and sets it as the operation amount Mf. The arm control unit 263 does not generate the control signal N. The pilot oil pressure is adjusted based on the operation amount M of the operating device 25, and the arm 7 is driven (step SC11).

  If it is determined in step SC10 that the operation amount M is larger than the limited operation amount Mr, that is, if YES in step SC10, the arm control unit 263 selects the reset limited operation amount Mr indicated by the line S4. The operation amount is Mf. The arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N based on the selected limited operation amount Mr. As a result, arm speed limit control is performed based on the limit operation amount Mr (step SC12).

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 34 and 35, the operation amount M is larger than the limit operation amount Mr indicated by the line S4. Accordingly, the arm control unit 263 performs arm speed limit control based on the limit operation amount Mr.

  FIG. 36 shows an example of the profile of the operation amount Mf according to this embodiment. A profile of the operation amount Mf is indicated by a line Sc. As shown in FIG. 36, in a predetermined period Ts from time t0 to time t10, the pilot oil pressure is adjusted and the arm 7 is operated according to the operation amount M as indicated by the line Sc. That is, the manipulated variable Mf increases from zero to the value M1u at time t0, maintains the value M1u until time t0n, and then increases from the value M1u to the value M2 at time t0n. Thereafter, the manipulated variable Mf gradually increases after maintaining the value M2 for a certain period, reaches the value M3 at time t2, and maintains the value M3 until time t3.

[effect]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the operation amount M of the operating device 25 increases rapidly during the operation of the operating device 25, the time measurement of the timer 261 is reset and then restarted. Since the limit pattern S4 whose value at the start point (time t0n) is the value M2 is set (reset), the arm 7 is controlled smoothly and the decrease in excavation accuracy is suppressed.

  For example, when the movement of the arm 7 is limited based on the limit pattern S2 that has been set without resetting the limit pattern S4, the operation amount (profile Sc) is a value based on the limit pattern S2ni at the time point t0n. It will increase rapidly to M3. As a result, the speed of the arm 7 increases abruptly, and the intervention speed of the boom 6 becomes slower than the raising speed of the arm 7, which may cause a decrease in excavation accuracy.

  According to the present embodiment, when the operation device 25 is operated rapidly so that the operation amount M increases rapidly during the operation of the operation device 25, the time measurement by the timer 261 is reset, and then the time measurement is performed. While restarting, a part of the limit pattern S2 is changed and a new limit pattern S4 is set. Therefore, the arm 7 can be moved smoothly, and a decrease in excavation accuracy can be suppressed.

[Control of Arm (Fifth Embodiment)]
Next, a fifth embodiment of control of the arm 7 (or bucket 8) will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is simplified or omitted.

  In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the operation device 25 is operated so that the operation amount M decreases in a predetermined period Ts from the time measurement start time by the timer 261.

  FIG. 37 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation amount M and the limited operation amount Mr. As described above, when the operation amount M derived from the detection value of the detection device 70 exceeds the limit operation amount Mr, the arm 7 operates based on the limit operation amount Mr. As shown in FIG. 37, the controller device 25 may be operated so that the operation amount M decreases during the period in which the limited operation amount Mr increases. When the operation amount M is larger than the limit operation amount Mr, the arm 7 is driven to accelerate even if the operation device 25 is operated so that the operation amount M decreases. In this case, the operator may feel uncomfortable.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the operation device 25 is operated so that the operation amount M decreases in the predetermined period Ts from the time measurement start time t0 by the timer 261, the work implement controller 26 determines the operation amount decrease determination. And the limited operation amount Mr is maintained at a constant value from the decrease start time tg. When the operation device 25 is operated so that the operation amount M decreases, the limit operation amount Mr is maintained at a constant value without increasing, thereby preventing the operator from feeling uncomfortable.

  FIG. 38 is a functional block diagram illustrating an example of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 39 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. 40, 41, and 42 are timing charts for explaining an example of the operation of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. 40, 41, and 42, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the operation amount (M, Mr, Mf) of the arm 7 and the count value of the timer.

  As shown in FIG. 38, in the present embodiment, the arm control unit 263 includes a comparison unit 263A. The comparison unit 263A compares the operation amount M with the limited operation amount Mr according to the above-described embodiment.

  Similar to the above-described embodiment, when the operation of the arm 7 is started by the operating device 25, the time measurement by the timer 261 is started (step SD1). When the arm 7 is lowered for excavation work by the bucket 8, boom intervention control including raising operation of the boom 6 is executed according to the distance d between the target design landform U and the blade edge 8a (step SD2). .

  The detecting device 70 (pressure sensor 661) detects the operation amount M of the operating device 25 for driving the arm 7 (step SD3).

  Similar to the above-described embodiment, the detection result of the operation amount M is output to the comparison unit 263A of the arm control unit 263. Further, information regarding the limit operation amount Mr is output from the limit value setting unit 262 to the comparison unit 263A of the arm control unit 263. The arm control unit 263 compares the operation amount M and the limited operation amount Mr according to the above-described embodiment (step SD4).

  If it is determined in step SD4 that the operation amount M is larger than the limited operation amount Mr, that is, if YES in step SD4, the arm control unit 263 selects the limited operation amount Mr and sets it as the operation amount Mf. The arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N based on the selected limited operation amount Mr. Thereby, arm speed restriction control is performed based on the restriction operation amount Mr (step SD5).

  If it is determined in step SD4 that the operation amount M is equal to or less than the limit operation amount Mr, that is, if No in step SD4, the arm control unit 263 selects the operation amount M and sets it as the operation amount Mf. The arm control unit 263 does not generate the control signal N. The pilot oil pressure is adjusted based on the operation amount M of the operating device 25, and the arm 7 is driven (step SD6).

  FIG. 40 shows an example of the profile of the operation amount M according to this embodiment. A profile of the operation amount M is indicated by a line S1. As shown in FIG. 40, at time point to, the operating device 25 is operated by the operator to drive the arm 7. The timer 261 starts time measurement. In the present embodiment, as an example, it is assumed that the operating device 25 is operated by the operator so that the operation amount M increases from zero to a value M3v, as indicated by a line S1 in FIG.

  The value M3v is a lower limit value M1 of the operation amount at which the limited operation amount Mr is generated, and a value M2 that is the limited operation amount. And greater than the maximum manipulated value M3. The manipulated variable M maintains the value M3v for a certain period after reaching the value M3v. In the present embodiment, the manipulated variable M is maintained at the value M3v during the period from time t0 to time tg. The time point tg is a time point when a predetermined period Ts has elapsed from the start time point t0.

  In FIG. 40, the profile of the limited operation amount Mr is indicated by a line S2. The limited operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2 is the same as the limited operation amount Mr described with reference to FIG. A detailed description of the limited operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2 is omitted.

  At time t0, the limited operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2 indicates the value M2. In the period from the time point t0 to the time point ta, the limited operation amount Mr is smaller than the value M3v of the operation amount M. That is, in the example shown in FIG. 40, the operation amount M exceeds the limit operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2 from the time point t0 to the time point ta. Therefore, the arm 7 is driven based on the limited operation amount Mr.

  At the time tg of the predetermined period Ts, the controller device 25 is operated so that the operation amount M decreases. That is, in the state where the arm 7 is driven based on the limit operation amount Mr, as shown by the line S1 in FIG. In some cases, the controller device 25 is suddenly operated so as to be smaller than the limited operation amount Mr.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 40, it is assumed that the operating device 25 is rapidly operated and the operation amount M is rapidly decreased at time tg. As shown in FIG. 40, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the operation amount M rapidly decreases from the value M3v to the value M1v. The value M1v of the operation amount M is larger than the value M1 and smaller than the value M2 of the limited operation amount Mr.

  When the operation amount M decreases (falls) rapidly, the change in the operation amount M is detected by the detection device 70 (step SD7). The detection result of the detection device 70 is output to the determination unit 262A of the limit value setting unit 262. The determination unit 262A determines whether or not the decrease rate of the operation amount M (a decrease amount per unit time) exceeds the allowable amount (step SD8).

  When it is determined in step SD8 that the reduction rate is equal to or less than the allowable value, that is, in the case of No in step SD8, the work machine controller 26 returns to step SD4, and the operation amount M after reduction and the limited operation amount Mr. And the above-described processing is executed.

  When it is determined in step SD8 that the reduction rate of the operation amount M has exceeded the allowable value, that is, in the case of Yes in step SD8, the limit value setting unit 262 of the work machine controller 26 sets the limit at the decrease start time tg. The operation amount Mr is maintained at a constant value M4 (step SD9). The limited operation amount Mr is maintained at the value M4 from the time point tg as shown by the line S2a in FIG. The arm 7 is driven based on the changed limit pattern S2a. This suppresses the operator from feeling uncomfortable.

  By operating the controller device 25 so that the operation amount M decreases, the operation amount M eventually becomes smaller than the limited operation amount Mr (value M4). The arm controller 263 compares the operation amount M with the reset limited operation amount Mr indicated by the line S2a (step SD10).

  If it is determined in step SD10 that the operation amount M is equal to or less than the limit operation amount Mr, that is, if No in step SD10, the arm control unit 263 selects the operation amount M and sets it as the operation amount Mf. The arm control unit 263 does not generate the control signal N. The pilot oil pressure is adjusted based on the operation amount M of the operating device 25, and the arm 7 is driven (step SD11).

  If it is determined in step SD10 that the operation amount M is larger than the limited operation amount Mr, that is, if YES in step SD10, the arm control unit 263 selects the limited operation amount Mr and sets it as the operation amount Mf. The arm control unit 263 generates the control signal N based on the selected limited operation amount Mr. Thus, arm speed limit control is performed based on the limit operation amount Mr (step SD12).

  Note that the operation amount M indicated by the line S1 in FIG. 40 increases rapidly at the time point tb. When the operation amount M increases rapidly, the time measurement by the timer 261 is restarted and the limit pattern S4a is reset according to the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 41 shows an example of the reset limit pattern S4a.

  FIG. 42 shows an example of a profile of the operation amount Mf according to the present embodiment. A profile of the operation amount Mf is indicated by a line Sc. As shown in FIG. 42, in the period Ts from the time point t0 to the time point ta, the pilot oil pressure is adjusted and the arm 7 is operated according to the limit operation amount Mr, as indicated by the line Sc. After the elapse of time ta, the pilot hydraulic pressure is adjusted according to the operation amount M, and the arm 7 is operated. After the elapse of time tb, the pilot hydraulic pressure is adjusted and the arm 7 is operated according to the limited operation amount Mr.

[effect]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the arm 7 is driven based on the limit pattern S2 and the arm 7 is moved so as to accelerate, the operation device 25 is operated so as to decelerate. Since part of the limit pattern S2 is changed to the limit pattern S2a and the limit operation amount Mr is maintained at a constant value without increasing, it is suppressed that the operator feels uncomfortable.

[Control of Arm (Sixth Embodiment)]
Next, a sixth embodiment of control of the arm 7 (or bucket 8) will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is simplified or omitted.

  FIG. 43 is a functional block diagram of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 43, in this embodiment, the work machine controller 26 includes a distance determination unit 262B.

  FIG. 44 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a hydraulic excavator 100 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 44, the excavator 100 includes a vehicle main body 1 and a work implement 2. The vehicle body 1 supports the boom 6. When the work implement 2 is driven, the distance x between the reference position P2 of the vehicle body 1 and the position P3 of the blade edge 8a of the bucket 8 changes. The distance x may be the distance between the position of the boom pin and the position of the blade edge 8a, or may be the distance between the installation position P1 and the position of the blade edge 8a.

  In the present embodiment, the distance x between the reference position P2 and the position P3 is calculated from the posture angles θ1 to θ3 of each work implement output from the sensor controller 30, and the distance x between the reference position P2 and the position P3 is the first. The limit operation amount Mr when the work machine 2 is driven to be the distance is driven so that the distance x between the reference position P2 and the position P3 is a second distance shorter than the first distance. It is smaller than the limited operation amount Mr.

  FIG. 45 is a timing chart for explaining an example of the operation of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 45, the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents the operation amount M (limit operation amount Mr) of the arm 7 and the count value of the timer.

  As shown in FIG. 45, when the distance x is the first distance, a limit pattern as shown by the line S2 is set. When the distance x is the second distance, a limit pattern as shown by the line S5 is set. The limit operation amount Mr of the limit pattern indicated by the line S2 is smaller than the limit operation amount Mr of the limit pattern indicated by the line S5.

  FIG. 46 shows an example of a profile of the operation amount Mf determined based on the limit pattern S2. FIG. 47 shows an example of the profile of the operation amount Mf determined based on the limit pattern S5.

  The longer the distance x, the greater the moment of the work implement 2 and the higher the possibility that a follow-up delay of the boom 6 will occur. In the present embodiment, the limited operation amount Mr at the first distance where the distance x is long is smaller than the limited operation amount Mr at the second distance where the distance x is short. That is, in the state of the first distance, the movement of the arm 7 is more strictly limited than in the state of the second distance. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the follow-up delay of the boom 6 is suppressed. Therefore, a decrease in excavation accuracy is suppressed.

[effect]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the limit operation amount Mr when the work implement 2 is driven so that the reference position of the vehicle main body 1 and the bucket 8 are the first distance is equal to that of the vehicle main body 1. Since the operation amount 2 is smaller than the limit operation amount Mr when the work machine 2 is driven so that the reference position and the bucket 8 become the second distance shorter than the first distance, the excavation accuracy can be improved while suppressing a decrease in work efficiency. The decrease can be suppressed.

[Control of Arm (Seventh Embodiment)]
Next, a seventh embodiment of control of the arm 7 (or bucket 8) will be described. In the following description, the same or equivalent components as those in the above-described embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is simplified or omitted.

  FIG. 48 is a functional block diagram of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. Similar to the above-described embodiment, the control system 200 includes the display controller 28, the work machine controller 26, the operating device 25 operated to drive a movable member including at least one of the arm 7 and the bucket 8, and the operating device. And a detection device 70 that detects 25 operation amounts M.

  The display controller 28 includes a target construction information storage unit 28A, a bucket position data generation unit 28B, and a target excavation landform data generation unit 28C. The bucket position data generation unit 28B is based on the respective attitude angles θ1, θ2, θ3 of the boom 6, the arm 7, and the bucket 8, which are detection results of the first, second, and third cylinder stroke sensors 16, 17, and 18. Then, the blade edge position data S indicating the three-dimensional position of the bucket 8 is generated.

  The target excavation landform data generation unit 28C is an object to be excavated by the work implement 2 based on the target construction information T output from the target construction information storage unit 28A and the blade edge position data S output from the bucket position data generation unit 28B. A target excavation landform U indicating the target shape is generated.

  The work machine controller 26 acquires the target excavation landform (U) from the target excavation landform data generation unit 28C, and based on the cutting edge position data S and the target excavation landform U, the cutting edge 8a of the bucket 8 and the target excavation landform U The distance acquisition unit 53 that calculates the distance d, the timer 261 that starts time measurement based on the detection result of the detection device 70, and the speed of the arm 7 based on the distance d calculated by the distance acquisition unit 53. Based on the limit value setting unit 262 for setting the limit operation amount Mr for limiting and the detection result of the detection device 70, the boom 6 is raised and the arm 7 is lowered in the excavation work by the bucket 8. It has an arm control unit 263 that outputs a control signal N to the control valve 27 so that the arm 7 is driven with the limited operation amount Mr when the operation is started, and a storage unit 264.

  In the present embodiment, the limit value setting unit 262 sets the limit operation amount Mr so that the limit operation amount Mr increases as the distance d increases. That is, the limit value setting unit 262 sets the limit operation amount Mr so that the limit of the operation of the arm 7 is relaxed as the distance d increases.

  FIG. 49 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of data stored in the storage unit 264. As illustrated in FIG. 49, the storage unit 264 stores an offset amount of the limited operation amount Mr with respect to the distance d for relaxing the limited operation amount Mr. When the distance d is between 0 and a predetermined value d1, the offset amount increases proportionally as the distance d increases. When the distance d is larger than the predetermined value d1, the offset amount is constant. The arm control unit 263 adds an offset amount to the limited operation amount Mr.

  FIG. 50 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the operation of the control system 200 according to the present embodiment. In the excavation work, the operating device 25 is operated by the operator (step SE1). The operator operates the operating device 25 to drive the arm 7. The operating device 25 is operated so that the arm 7 performs the lowering operation.

  The operation device M of the operation device 25 is detected by the detection device 70 (step SE2). The detection device 70 includes a pressure sensor 66 and detects the operation amount M of the operation device 25 by detecting the pilot hydraulic pressure adjusted by the operation device 25.

  The detection value of the detection device 70 is output to the timer 261. The timer 261 starts time measurement based on the detection result of the detection device 70 (step SE3).

  The bucket position data generation unit 28B is a cutting edge that indicates the three-dimensional position of the bucket 8 based on the cylinder attitude data θ1, θ2, and θ3 that are detection results of the first, second, and third cylinder stroke sensors 16, 17, and 18. Position data S is generated (step SE4).

  The distance acquisition unit 53 calculates the distance d between the cutting edge 8a of the bucket 8 and the target excavation landform U based on the cutting edge position data S and the target excavation landform U (step SE5).

  The arm control unit 263, based on the distance d calculated in step SE5 and the relationship between the distance d stored in the storage unit 264 and the offset amount of the limited operation amount Mr described with reference to FIG. A limited operation amount Mr corresponding to the distance d is set (step SE6). Specifically, the arm control unit 263 adds the offset amount of the limited operation amount Mr to the operation amount M detected by the detection device 70.

  The arm control unit 263 compares the operation amount M with the limited operation amount Mr obtained by adding the offset amount, selects the smaller operation amount, and generates the control signal N based on the selected operation amount Mf. The generated control signal N is output to the control valve 27 (step ES7). As described above, in the present embodiment, when the distance d is small, the operation of the arm 7 is restricted, and when the distance d is large, the restriction of the operation of the arm 7 is relaxed. Further, when the distance d is larger than the predetermined value d1, the operation of the arm 7 is not limited, and the arm 7 operates based on the operation amount M by the operation device 25.

[effect]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the operation of the arm 7 is limited at the start of digging. Since the timing at which the operation of the arm 7 is limited is limited at the start of excavation, a decrease in the work amount of the construction machine 100 is suppressed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the limit value setting unit 262 increases the limit operation amount Mr as the distance d increases, that is, as the distance d increases, the limit of the operation of the arm 7 is relaxed. Then, the limited operation amount Mr is set. When the distance d is small, the operation of the arm 7 is sufficiently restricted, and when the distance d is large, the restriction of the operation of the arm 7 is relaxed, so that the cutting of the cutting edge 8a is controlled while suppressing a decrease in the work amount. It can be moved along the terrain U.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, since the restriction | limiting of the operation | movement of the arm 7 and a restriction | limiting relaxation are performed according to the distance d, coexistence of suppression of the fall of the work amount of the construction machine 100 and suppression of the fall of the blade edge | tip 8a is achieved. It is done.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of invention.

For example, an operation lever detector that detects an operation amount of the operation lever of the operation device 25 with a potentiometer or the like and outputs a detection value corresponding to the operation amount to the work machine controller 26 may be provided. The work machine controller 26 may adjust the amount of hydraulic oil supplied to the hydraulic cylinder by outputting a control signal to the direction control valve 64 based on the detection result of the operation lever detection unit. The control in this case may be performed not only by the work machine controller 226 but also by another controller such as the sensor controller 30.

  Acquisition of the position of the hydraulic excavator CM in the global coordinate system is not limited to GNSS, and may be performed by other positioning means. Therefore, acquisition of the distance d between the blade edge 8a and the design landform is not limited to GNSS, and may be performed by other positioning means.
