Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the overload phenomenon of a motor from being generated due to the dragging of a brake by providing a controller for detecting the conducting state of an electromagnetic brake, confirming the brake releasing state, and providing an operational command to the motor. CONSTITUTION:By a controller 17, signals from a high or low speed setting and forward or backward movement switching switch 12, an accelerator lever setting volume 11a, a steering angle detecting sensor 13, and the like are received, and a motor 6 and an electromagnetic brake 20 are controlled. The braking of the electromagnetic brake 20 is released by power conduction and excitation, and the brake 20 is set in a braking state when it is not conducted. An accelerator lever is interlocked with the accelerator lever setting volume 1a, and when the accelerator lever is operated, then the braking state is released, and when the accelerator lever is set in a non-operation state, then the braking state is found. From a conduction current detecting mechanism 22, the conducting state confirming signal of the electromagnetic brake 20 is generated to the controller 17. By the controller 17, conduction of the electromagnetic brake 20 is confirmed, and after that, the motor 6 is worked.

However, even if a travel command is issued to the electric motor to start traveling and a release signal is issued to the electromagnetic brake, if there is a failure in the coupler or the like, current will not be applied to the release coil of the electromagnetic brake. Therefore, the electric motor operates without the electromagnetic brake being released from the brake state, resulting in a problem that the electric motor is overloaded.

A characteristic configuration according to the present invention is that a mechanism for detecting the energization state of the electromagnetic brake is provided, and a control device is provided that issues an operation command to the electric motor when the detection mechanism detects the energization state, Its effects are as follows. [Function] For example, by providing a detection mechanism that detects the current flowing in the coil of the electromagnetic brake as a mechanism for detecting the energization state of the electromagnetic brake, if this detection mechanism detects that current flows, the electromagnetic brake will be activated. It is determined that the braking state has been released, and then an operation command is issued to the electric motor.

However, as a device that has the effect of avoiding the overload phenomenon of the electric motor, there is a brake release switch (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 11923/1983), which automatically turns off the power to the electric motor due to the importance of the brake switch. However, in these cases, even if the brake switch is turned off, there is no way to check whether the electromagnetic brake is actually released from the braking state, and the brake is not applied. Conditions may still occur in which the electric motor is started in the following conditions. In contrast, in the present invention, since the brake release state can be reliably determined from the energization state of the electromagnetic brake, overloading of the electric motor can be more reliably avoided.
