As shown in FIG. 11 , the swing work machine 1 includes a connection switching section 131 . The connection switching unit 131 switches the power supply path 132 from the battery 90a to the electric motor 91 between a connected state and a disconnected state for each battery 90a. The connection switching unit 131 switches between a connected state and a disconnected state by, for example, performing a relay opening/closing operation for at least a part of the power supply path 132 . As a result, the battery unit 90 outputs power from the battery 90a in the connected state among the plurality of batteries 90a, and stops outputting power from the other batteries 90a in the disconnected state. The control device 120 controls the connection switching unit 131 , that is, sets the battery 90 a that outputs power from the battery unit 90 .

Each battery 90a also has a BMU (battery management unit) 123 that monitors and controls the battery 90a.

BMU 123 may be built in each battery 90a, or may be installed outside each battery 90a.

The control device 120 sets one battery 90a of the plurality of batteries 90a in a connected state as an output battery for outputting power from the battery unit 90, and sets the other batteries 90a in a disconnected state so as not to output power. set as The control device 120 has a battery control section 120a that controls switching of the output battery.
The battery control unit 120a is communicably connected to the connection switching unit 131 by wire or wirelessly, and controls the connection switching unit 131 by transmitting signals. As a result, the battery control unit 120a switches between the connected state and the disconnected state of the plurality of batteries 90a, and performs switching control (switching processing) between the output battery and the stopped battery.

The battery control unit 120a performs switching control between the output battery and the stop battery based on a predetermined condition. Specifically, when the drive limiting device 47 prohibits or limits the driving of the work device 20, the battery control unit 120a controls the selection tool 122 communicably connected to the control device 120 and the plurality of batteries 90a. The output battery and stop battery are set based on the remaining capacity of each. In other words, the battery control unit 120a performs the process of switching the output battery after the driving of the working device 20 is prohibited or limited by the drive limiting device 47. FIG.

Specifically, the control device 120 acquires information indicating whether the drive limiting device 47 permits, prohibits, or restricts the driving of the work device 20 . , and the battery control unit 120a performs a process of switching the output battery after the driving of the working device 20 is prohibited or limited by the drive limiting device 47 based on the information obtained by the state obtaining unit 120d. In the present embodiment, the state acquisition unit 120d detects whether the unload valve 48 is at the supply position 48a or shuts off based on a signal acquired from a sensor that is connected to the control device 120 and detects the operation state of the unload operation tool 5b. Get which of position 48b.

The control device 120 may set the output battery and the stop battery when the work device 20 is not driven, and detects the state where the work device 20 is not driven separately from the operation of the drive limiting device 47. , an output battery and a stop battery may be set. For example, the control device 120 may acquire operation information of the operating device 5 and acquire information as to whether the hydraulic equipment M and the working device 20 are not driven.

The battery control unit 120a sets the battery 90a selected and instructed via the selector 122 as the output battery. On the other hand, the battery control unit 120a sets the battery 90a, which has not been selected and instructed through the selector 122, as a stopped battery.
The selection tool 122 selects one battery 90a from the plurality of batteries 90a based on the operator's operation. That is, the selector 122 receives an instruction from the operator to select the battery 90a as the output battery. For example, the selection tool 122 is a plurality of operation switches arranged around the driver's seat 8 and capable of being pressed. Each of the plurality of operation switches is associated with the battery 90a, and when one operation switch is operated, one battery 90a associated with the one operation switch is selected.

Note that the configuration of the selection tool 122 is not particularly limited as long as it can select one battery 90a from among the plurality of batteries 90a. Moreover, the selection tool 122 may perform selection operation of the battery 90a in conjunction with the display device 124a. The selection tool 122 may be such as to select one battery 90a icon from a plurality of battery 90a icons displayed on the display device 124a by key button operation, jog dial operation, touch panel operation, or the like.

Based on the remaining capacity detected by the capacity detecting section, the battery control section 120a selects the battery 90a that can be selected as an output battery by the selection tool 122, and selects the battery 90a whose remaining capacity is equal to or greater than a first threshold set to a value greater than zero. limit to
The battery control unit 120a stops the supply of electric power to the electric motor 91 because the remaining capacity of the battery 90a selected as the output battery is insufficient (for example, the remaining capacity is less than the first threshold value), and the other battery 90a When there is a battery 90a having a remaining capacity capable of supplying electric power to the electric motor 91, the output battery is switched to one of the batteries 90a having a remaining capacity.

In addition, when the remaining capacity of the output battery is zero and there is a battery 90a whose remaining capacity exceeds zero and is less than the first threshold, the battery control unit 120a selects a battery that can be selected as an output battery by the selector 122. 90a is limited to batteries 90a whose remaining capacity exceeds zero, and the output battery is switched to any one of the batteries 90a having a remaining capacity capable of supplying electric power to the electric motor 91. Alternatively, when there is a battery 90a whose remaining capacity of the output battery is zero and whose remaining capacity exceeds zero and is less than the first threshold, the battery control unit 120a controls the remaining capacity is greater than zero and less than the first threshold, the battery 90a may be automatically set as the output battery.

The capacity detection units detect the remaining capacity of the battery 90a. The capacity detector is communicably connected to the control device 120 by wire or wirelessly, and outputs information on the detected remaining capacity of the battery 90 a to the control device 120 . In this embodiment, the BMU 123 provided in each of the plurality of batteries 90a performs the function of the capacity detection unit. For example, the BMU 123 detects the remaining capacity of the battery 90a using terminal voltages of cells inside the battery 90a and a voltage measurement method. The method of detecting the remaining capacity of the battery 90a is not limited to the voltage measurement method, and may be a coulomb counter method, a battery cell modeling method, an impedance track method, or the like. Also, the capacity detection unit may be provided separately from the BMU 123 .

In addition, the battery control unit 120a selects the battery 90a selected as the output battery for which the remaining capacity is less than the first threshold, and among the other batteries 90a, there is a battery 90a whose remaining capacity is equal to or greater than the first threshold. , the output battery is switched to one of the batteries 90a whose remaining capacity is equal to or greater than the first threshold. As shown in FIG. 11, the battery control unit 120a has a selection unit 120a1. Selection unit 120a1 selects one of the plurality of batteries 90a as an output battery. Specifically, when the battery unit 90 includes the batteries 90a with remaining capacity equal to or greater than the first threshold, the selection unit 120a1 selects any one of the batteries 90a having remaining capacity equal to or greater than the first threshold as the output battery. In other words, if the battery unit 90 includes a battery 90a with a remaining capacity equal to or greater than the first threshold, the selection unit 120a1 does not select the battery 90a with a remaining capacity less than the first threshold as an output battery. At this time, for example, the battery 90a with the largest remaining capacity may be selected from among the batteries 90a with remaining capacity less than the first threshold value and equal to or greater than zero.

Further, the swing work machine 1 is provided with a notification device 124, and the battery control unit 120a detects the remaining capacity of the battery 90a selected as the output battery based on the remaining capacity detected by the capacity detection unit (BMU 123). When the voltage drops below the first threshold value, the notification device 124 is made to perform notification prompting switching of the output battery. In addition, the battery control unit 120a determines that the remaining capacity of the battery 90a selected as the output battery has fallen below the first threshold, and there is no battery 90a having a remaining capacity equal to or greater than the first threshold among the other batteries 90a. In this case, the notification device 124 is caused to perform notification to prompt charging. Furthermore, when the remaining capacity of the battery 90a selected as the output battery falls below the second threshold, which is smaller than the first threshold, the control device 120 causes the notification device 124 to issue a warning that the remaining capacity has run out.

The notification device 124 is a device that notifies an operator or an administrator of the remaining capacities of the plurality of batteries 90a detected by the capacity detector (BMU 123). The notification device 124 is communicably connected to the control device 120 and controlled by the control device 120 . The notification device 124 notifies the worker riding the swing work machine 1 of the remaining capacity of the battery 90a by sound, light, image, or a combination thereof. Specifically, when the notification device 124 notifies the remaining capacity of the battery 90a by means of an image, the notification device 124 is a display device 124a such as a monitor that is provided in the swing work machine 1 and displays an image.

As shown in FIG. 21A, the battery control unit 120a causes the display device 124a to display the remaining capacity of each battery 90a. The battery control unit 120a causes the output battery remaining capacity display 124a1 and the stop battery remaining capacity display 124a2 to be displayed in different display forms. For example, the display 124a2 of the remaining capacity of the stopped battery is grayed out. As shown in FIG. 21B, when the remaining capacity of the output battery falls below the first threshold, the battery control unit 120a displays a prompt to switch the output battery near the display 124a1 of the remaining capacity of the output battery. . As shown in FIG. 21C, when the remaining capacity of the output battery drops below the first threshold and there is no battery 90a with a remaining capacity equal to or greater than the first threshold among the other batteries 90a, the battery control unit 120a The display 124a3 of the remaining capacity of the battery 90a whose remaining capacity is less than the first threshold value and/or its vicinity is displayed to the effect that switching as an output battery is not possible and that charging is urged. Further, as shown in FIG. 21D, when the remaining capacity of the output battery drops below the second threshold, the battery control unit 120a displays the remaining capacity display 124a4 of the remaining capacity of the battery 90a whose remaining capacity is below the second threshold, and/or Alternatively, a message indicating that the output battery has no remaining capacity and prompting charging is displayed in the vicinity thereof.

Also, when the notification device 124 notifies the remaining capacity of the battery 90a by sound, the notification device 124 is an audio output device 124b (speaker) that notifies by sound. Note that the notification device 124 is only required to notify the operator or manager of the remaining capacity of the battery 90a. It may also be a light emitting device 124c (indicator), which is any one or more of the display device 124a, the audio output device 124b, and the light emitting device 124c.

Battery control unit 120a performs a first process, a second process, and a third process to switch the output battery. Specifically, when the output battery switching process is performed, the battery control unit 120a first instructs the connection switching unit 131 to cut off all the batteries 90a among the plurality of batteries 90a including the output battery ( first processing).
After the first processing, battery control unit 120a instructs connection switching unit 131 to connect battery 90a set as the output battery (second processing). Further, the control device 120 connects the battery 90a selected as the output battery in the second process and the inverter 92b.

After the second process, the battery control unit 120a instructs the battery 90a to start supplying power to the electric motor 91 from the battery 90a set as the output battery and in the connected state. Specifically, the battery control unit 120a instructs the BMU 123 provided in each of the plurality of batteries 90a to start supplying power.
Hereinafter, a series of flow of setting the output battery and the stop battery by the control device 120 (battery control section 120a) will be described mainly using FIG. First, the control device 120 determines whether the unload valve 48 is at the shutoff position 48b (S1). If it is determined that the unload valve 48 is not in the shutoff position 48b (S1, No), the controller 120 continues the processing of S1 and monitors whether the unload valve 48 is switched to the shutoff position 48b.

When it is determined that the unload valve 48 is at the blocking position 48b (S1, Yes), the control device 120 determines whether the starter switch 7 has been operated based on the operation signal input from the starter switch 7 ( S2). If the starter switch 7 is not operated (S2, No), the control device 120 continues the process of S2 and monitors whether the starter switch 7 is operated.

When it is determined that the starter switch 7 has been operated (S2, Yes), the battery control unit 120a instructs the connection switching unit 131 to cut off all the batteries 90a among the plurality of batteries 90a including the output battery, The connection switching unit 131 switches all the batteries 90a to the disconnected state (first process, S3).
After performing the first process (S3), the battery control unit 120a selects a battery 90a that can be selected as an output battery by the selector 122 based on the remaining capacity detected by the BMU 123. (S4), the battery 90a specified by the operator by operating the selector 122 is selected as the output battery from among the batteries 90a set to be selectable, and switched to the connected state (S5). Specifically, the battery control unit 120

Next, after the second process, the battery control unit 120a instructs the BMU 123 to start supplying power to the electric motor 91 from the battery 90a set as the output battery and in the connected state. An internal relay opening/closing control is performed to start power supply from the output battery (third process, S6).
After that, the battery control unit 120a determines whether the remaining capacity of the output battery is less than the first threshold based on the remaining capacity of the output battery detected by the BMU 123 (S7). When determining that the remaining capacity of the output battery is greater than or equal to the first threshold (S7, No), the battery control unit 120a proceeds to the process of S15.

When the battery control unit 120a determines that the remaining capacity of the output battery is less than the first threshold value (S7, Yes), the remaining capacity of the output battery detected by the BMU 123 is determined based on the remaining capacity of the battery having the first threshold value or more. It is determined whether or not there is 90a (S8).
When the battery control unit 120a determines that there is a battery 90a that is equal to or greater than the first threshold (S8, Yes), as shown in FIG. A prompt to switch the battery is displayed, and the notification device 124 is made to issue a notification to prompt switching of the output battery (S9).

After that, the battery control unit 120a determines whether the unload valve 48 is at the shutoff position 48b (S10). When it is determined that the unload valve 48 is not at the shutoff position 48b (S10, No), the battery control unit 120a continues the process of S10 and monitors whether the unload valve 48 is at the shutoff position 48b.
On the other hand, when the battery control unit 120a determines that the unload valve 48 is at the shutoff position 48b (S10, Yes), it determines whether a predetermined time has passed since the unload valve 48 was switched to the shutoff position 48b. It judges (S11). When the battery control unit 120a determines that the predetermined time has not passed (S11, No), it continues the processing of S11 and monitors whether the predetermined time has passed. After a predetermined time has passed (S11, Yes), the battery control unit 120a instructs the connection switching unit 131 to cut off all the batteries 90a among the plurality of batteries 90a including the output battery, and the connection switching unit 131 All the batteries 90a are switched to the disconnected state (first process, S12).

Next, the selection unit 120a1 selects one of the batteries 90a having a remaining capacity equal to or greater than the first threshold in the battery unit 90 as an output battery, and the battery control unit 120a selects the battery 90a selected by the selection unit 120a1 as an output battery. The connection switching unit 131 instructs the connection switching unit 131 to switch to the connected state, the connection switching unit 131 switches the battery 90a to the connected state, and the control device 120 switches the battery 90a and the inverter 92b to the connected state (second processing, S13). ).

Next, the battery control unit 120a instructs the BMU 123 to start supplying power to the electric motor 91 from the battery 90a set as the output battery and in the connected state, and the BMU 123 controls opening and closing of the relay inside the battery 90a. , to start supplying power from the output battery (third process, S14). After that, the battery control unit 120a determines whether or not to end the operation of the work implement 1 (S15). When the battery control unit 120a determines not to end the operation (S15, No), the process returns to S7.

On the other hand, when the battery control unit 120a determines to end the operation (S16, Yes), it ends the series of controls related to the switching of the output battery, and performs predetermined operation stop processing. The determination as to whether or not to end the operation of the work implement 1 may be made based on whether or not an engine stop switch has been operated, for example. The operation stop process may include, for example, a process of switching all the batteries 90a to a cut-off state.

Further, when the battery control unit 120a determines in S8 that there is no battery 90a having a value equal to or greater than the first threshold value (S8, No), as shown in FIG. And/or display in the vicinity thereof that the output battery cannot be switched, and cause the notification device 124 to notify that the output battery cannot be switched and to prompt charging (S16).

Next, the battery control unit 120a acquires a signal from the BMU 123 and determines whether or not the charging process has started (S17). When the charging process is started, battery control unit 120a terminates a series of controls regarding switching of the output battery.
On the other hand, if the charging process has not started (S17, No), the battery control unit 120a detects the remaining capacity of the output battery by the BMU 123, and determines that the remaining capacity of the output battery reaches the second threshold value It is determined whether or not it is less than (S18). When determining that the remaining capacity of the output battery is less than the second threshold (S18, No), the battery control unit 120a returns to the process of S16.

When the battery control unit 120a determines that the remaining capacity of the output battery is less than the second threshold (S18, Yes), as shown in FIG. In the remaining capacity display 124a4 of 90a and/or in the vicinity thereof, it is displayed that the output battery has no remaining capacity and that charging is urged (S19).
After that, the battery control unit 120a determines whether the remaining capacity of the output battery is zero based on the remaining capacity of the output battery detected by the BMU 123 (S20). When determining that the remaining capacity of the output battery is not zero (S20, No), the battery control unit 120a returns to the process of S16.

On the other hand, when determining that the remaining capacity of the output battery is zero (S20, Yes), the battery control unit 120a stops power supply from the battery 90a connected as the output battery to the electric motor 91. The BMU 123 controls the opening and closing of the relay inside the battery 90a to stop the power supply of the output battery (S21). That is, when the remaining capacity of the output battery is zero, the battery control unit 120a cuts off the connection between the output battery and the power supply path (power supply line) 132 by the relay opening/closing control.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21E, the battery control unit 120a causes the notification device 124 to perform notification to the effect that the operation of the unload operation tool 5b is urged (S22), and based on the remaining capacity of the output battery detected by the BMU 123, , whether or not there is a battery 90a with a remaining capacity other than zero, ie, a battery 90a with a remaining capacity exceeding zero (S23). When the battery control unit 120a determines that there is no battery 90a with a remaining capacity other than zero (S23, No), it terminates the series of control regarding the switching of the output battery.

On the other hand, when the battery control unit 120a determines that there is a battery 90a with a remaining capacity other than zero (S23, Yes), the battery control unit 120a determines whether the unload valve 48 is at the shutoff position 48b (S24). When the battery control unit 120a determines that the unload valve 48 is not at the shutoff position 48b (S24, No), it continues the process of S24 and monitors whether the unload valve 48 is switched to the shutoff position 48b.

When the battery control unit 120a determines that the unload valve 48 is at the shutoff position 48b (S24, Yes), it determines whether a predetermined time has passed since the unload valve 48 was switched to the shutoff position 48b. (S25). When the battery control unit 120a determines that the predetermined time has not passed (S25, No), it continues the processing of S11 and monitors whether the predetermined time has passed. If the battery control unit 120a determines that the predetermined time has passed (S25, Yes), the battery control unit 120a instructs the connection switching unit 131 to cut off all the batteries 90a among the plurality of batteries 90a including the output battery. The switching unit 131 switches all the batteries 90a to the disconnected state (first process, S26).

Next, based on the remaining capacity detected by the BMU 123, the battery control unit 120a sets the battery 90a that can be selected as the output battery by the selector 122 to a battery 90a with a remaining capacity other than zero (S27). The battery 90a specified by the operator by operating the selector 122 is selected as the output battery from among the batteries 90a set to , and is switched to the connected state (S28). Specifically, the battery control unit 120a instructs the connection switching unit 131 to switch the battery 90a set as the output battery to the connected state, and the connection switching unit 131 switches the battery 90a to the connected state. connects the battery 90a and the inverter 92b (second processing).

Next, the battery control unit 120a instructs the BMU 123 to start supplying power to the electric motor 91 from the battery 90a, which has been set as the output battery after the second process and is in the connected state, and the BMU 123 causes the battery 90a to start supplying power to the battery 90a. is controlled to open and close the relay, and the power supply of the output battery is started (third process, S29).
After that, the battery control unit 120a determines whether or not to end the operation of the working machine 1 (S30). Control is ended, and predetermined operation stop processing is performed. When the battery control unit 120a determines not to end the operation (S30, No), the process returns to S16.

As shown in FIG. 11, the swing work machine 1 includes a first drive motor 30b that drives the oil cooler fan 30a, and a second drive motor 94b that drives the radiator fan 94a. The radiator fan 94a can be independently driven separately from the electric motor 91 . Control of the oil cooler fan 30a and the radiator fan 94a will be described below.

As shown in FIG. 11, the first drive motor 30b and the second drive motor 94b are each connected to a control device 120, and the control device 120 controls the driving of the first drive motor 30b and the second drive motor 94b. It has a fan control unit 120b that The fan control unit 120b independently controls the first drive motor 30b (radiator fan 94a) and the second drive motor 94b (oil cooler fan 30a).

As shown in FIG. 11 , the swing work machine 1 includes a water temperature detector 126 and an oil temperature detector 127 . The water temperature detection unit 126 is a sensor that detects the temperature of cooling water (refrigerant) as a voltage value. The water temperature detector 126 is provided, for example, in the feed water passage 95 b and detects the temperature of the cooling water flowing toward the radiator 94 . The water temperature detection unit 126 is connected to the control device 120 by wire or wirelessly, and outputs the detected cooling water temperature information to the control device 120 as a signal.

The oil temperature detector 127 is a sensor that detects the temperature of hydraulic oil as a voltage value. The oil temperature detection unit 127 is provided, for example, in the second pipe line 42 and detects the temperature of the hydraulic oil heading toward the oil cooler 30 . The oil temperature detection unit 127 is connected to the control device 120 by wire or wirelessly, and outputs information on the detected hydraulic oil temperature to the control device 120 as a signal.
The fan control unit 120b controls the driving of the radiator fan 94a so that the temperature of the cooling water does not exceed a set temperature based on the temperature of the cooling water detected by the water temperature detecting unit 126 and a preset control map. . Further, when the temperature of the hydraulic oil detected by the oil temperature detection unit 127 is less than a predetermined value, the fan control unit 120b stops driving the oil cooler fan 30a and detects the temperature of the hydraulic oil detected by the oil temperature detection unit 127. is a predetermined value or more, the temperature of the hydraulic oil is controlled so as not to exceed the set temperature based on a preset control map.

As shown in FIG. 11, the operating device 5 has a rotation speed operation tool 5c, and the control device 120 has a rotation speed control section 120c. The rotational speed operation tool 5c receives a setting input of the rotational speed range (upper limit and lower limit of the rotational speed) of the electric motor 91 from the operator. Specifically, a plurality of selectable rotational speed ranges are set in advance, and the operator can select a desired rotational speed range by operating the rotational speed manipulator 5c.

The rotation speed control unit 120c has a normal mode and an AI (auto idle) mode. In the normal mode, the rotation speed control unit 120c adjusts the rotation speed of the electric motor 91 according to the load of the hydraulic pump P or the current consumption of the electric motor 91, which changes according to the operation state of the working device 20. 5c to control within the rotational speed range set. In the AI mode, the rotation speed control unit 120c sets the rotation speed of the electric motor 91 to a predetermined idling rotation speed that is set lower than the lower limit value (for example, 1500 rpm) of the rotation speed that can be set using the rotation speed operation tool 5c. (eg 500 rpm).

The rotation speed control unit 120c switches between the normal mode and the AI mode based on the current value detected by the current detection unit that detects the current (current value) of the power output from the battery unit 90 or the inverter 92b. If the magnitude of the current value output by the battery unit 90 can be changed according to the load of the electric motor 91, the current detector detects the current value output from the battery unit 90 or the inverter 92b. On the other hand, when the magnitude of the current value output by the battery unit 90 cannot be changed according to the load of the electric motor 91, the current detector detects the current value output from the inverter 92b. The current detection unit is connected to the control device 120 for wireless or wired communication, and outputs the detected current value to the control device 120 .

In this embodiment, the battery unit 90 can change the magnitude of the output current value, and the current detection unit detects the current value output from the battery unit 90. It is the BMU 123 that is installed.
For example, when the operation lever 5a is operated, the spool is moved by the operation, and the control valves V1 to V8 supply the hydraulic equipment M to be controlled with an amount of hydraulic oil proportional to the amount by which the spool is moved. As a result, the load on the hydraulic pump P that discharges hydraulic oil increases, and the current consumption of the electric motor 91 that drives the hydraulic pump P increases. Therefore, the battery unit 90 increases the magnitude of the current value to be output, and the current value detected by the BMU 123 increases. In other words, when the operation amount from the neutral position of the control lever 5a increases, the current value detected by the BMU 123 increases.

On the other hand, when the operation lever 5a is operated from the operated state to the neutral position side, the operation amount of the operation lever 5a decreases, the load on the hydraulic pump P decreases, and the current of the electric motor 91 driving the hydraulic pump P decreases. Consumption is reduced. Therefore, the battery unit 90 reduces the magnitude of the current value to be output, and the current value detected by the BMU 123 decreases. In other words, when the operation amount from the neutral position of the control lever 5a decreases, the current value detected by the BMU 123 decreases.

When the current detection unit detects the current value output from the inverter 92b, when the operation lever 5a is operated from the neutral position, that is, when the amount of operation of the operation lever 5a increases, the load on the hydraulic pump P increases. The current consumption of the electric motor 91 that drives the hydraulic pump P increases. Therefore, the inverter 92b increases the magnitude of the current value to be output, and the current value detected by the current detection section increases. In other words, when the operation amount from the neutral position of the control lever 5a increases, the current value detected by the current detection section increases.

On the other hand, when the operation lever 5a is operated from the operated state to the neutral position side, the operation amount of the operation lever 5a decreases, the load on the hydraulic pump P decreases, and the current of the electric motor 91 driving the hydraulic pump P decreases. Consumption is reduced. Therefore, the inverter 92b reduces the magnitude of the current value to be output, and the current value detected by the current detection section decreases. In other words, when the operation amount from the neutral position of the control lever 5a decreases, the current value detected by the current detection section decreases.

To explain in detail the switching between the normal mode and the AI mode of the rotation speed control unit 120c, when the current value detected by the current detection unit (BMU 123) is equal to or greater than a predetermined value (third threshold value), the rotation speed control unit 120c The motor rotation speed range of the electric motor 91 is set according to the setting operation on the number operation tool 5c (normal mode). On the other hand, when the current value detected by the BMU 123 is less than the third threshold, the rotation speed control unit 120c switches to the AI mode and sets the motor rotation speed of the electric motor 91 to a predetermined idling rotation speed.

Specifically, when the current value detected by the BMU 123 is less than the third threshold, the rotational speed control unit 120c detects current for a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds or 4 seconds) after the current value becomes less than the third threshold. The motor rotation speed of the electric motor 91 is set within the range set by the rotation speed operation tool 5c according to the current value detected by the unit. set to the idling speed of Specifically, when the detected current value is less than the third threshold, the rotation speed control unit 120c keeps the motor rotation speed within the range set by the rotation speed operation tool 5c for a predetermined time after the current value becomes less than the third threshold. set to the lower limit of Further, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the rotation speed control unit 120c switches to the AI mode and sets the motor rotation speed of the electric motor 91 to an idling rotation speed lower than the lower limit value of the above range.

That is, in the normal mode, when the current value detected by the BMU 123 becomes less than a predetermined value, the rotation speed control unit 120c maintains the normal mode for a predetermined time, and switches to the AI mode after the predetermined time.
On the other hand, in the AI mode, when the current value detected by the BMU 123 exceeds a predetermined value, the rotational speed control section 120c immediately switches to the normal mode. Note that the third threshold is a threshold that is set in advance and stored in the storage unit 121, and is used when the operating lever 5a is not operated and the hydraulic device M (working device 20) is not operating. It is set based on the current value of the power output from the inverter 92b, is communicably connected to the control device 120, and can be arbitrarily changed by an external terminal operated by an administrator or an operator.
