  • the present invention relates to a construction machine including an electric motor for driving a swing structure.
  • a known hybrid construction machine drives hydraulic actuators (hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors) to cause a work implement to perform work and a track structure to perform a traveling operation. It also drives an electric motor to cause a swing structure (e.g., an upper swing structure in a hydraulic excavator) to perform a swing operation.
  • hydraulic actuators hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors
  • a swing structure e.g., an upper swing structure in a hydraulic excavator
  • the hybrid construction machine of the foregoing type may use a controller (e.g., an inverter device) for controlling the electric motor to achieve intended swing control by converting an operation amount of a swing operating lever operated by an operator to a corresponding electric signal and applying the electric signal to the controller.
  • a controller e.g., an inverter device
  • a known technique for avoiding such a situation as that described above uses a controller that monitors a difference between a speed command of an electric motor (a target speed) generated based on the operation amount of the swing operating lever and an actual speed of the electric motor and determines the operation to be a faulty operation when the difference falls outside a permissible range (see JP-A-2007-228721).

  • the speed command In a construction machine including a swing structure that has a large inertia, however, the speed command often differs widely from the actual speed. Use of only the magnitude of the difference between the speed command and the actual speed to determine whether a faulty operation occurs, as in the abovementioned related art, can cause inconveniences. Specifically, if the permissible range of the difference is set to be excessively small, a normal operation may be erroneously determined to be a faulty one, which may reduce work efficiency. By contrast, with a permissible range set to be excessively large, the controller can fail to detect a faulty operation, resulting in reduced reliability.

  • the acceleration calculating unit 82 receives an input of the actual speed V calculated by the speed calculating unit 64 .
  • the acceleration calculating unit 82 calculates the acceleration dV/dt using the actual speed V input thereto and outputs the calculated acceleration dV/dt to the backward rotation detecting unit 80 and the overspeed detecting unit 81 .
  • the embodiment is configured so that the acceleration dV/dt is calculated from the actual speed V when the acceleration of the electric motor 16 is calculated.
  • the acceleration dV/dt may nonetheless be calculated from the torque command (target torque) output from the electric motor 16 or the actual torque generated by the electric motor 16 (that is calculated from the output of the current sensor 30 ).
  • an acceleration detector such as acceleration sensors and gyro sensors, may be installed and the output from the acceleration detector is used.
  • the backward rotation detecting unit 80 receives inputs of a speed command (target speed V*) output from the first controller 11 , the actual speed V calculated by the speed calculating unit 64 , and the acceleration dV/dt calculated by the acceleration calculating unit 82 .
  • the backward rotation detecting unit 80 determines whether a condition (a first condition) is satisfied or not, which is satisfied when a sign of a value computed by subtracting the actual speed V from the target speed V* (value of a difference in speed) is different from a sign of the acceleration dV/dt. Based on this determination, the backward rotation detecting unit 80 determines whether the electric motor 16 rotates backward as against an instruction of the operator.
  • the example shown in the figure represents a case in which the sign of the value of the target speed V* from which the actual speed V is subtracted is detected to be “positive” and the sign of the acceleration dV/dt is detected to be “negative.”
  • the overspeed detecting unit 81 receives inputs of a speed command (target speed V*) output from the first controller 11 , the actual speed V calculated by the speed calculating unit 64 , and the acceleration dV/dt calculated by the acceleration calculating unit 82 .
  • the overspeed detecting unit 81 determines whether a condition (a second condition) is satisfied or not, which is satisfied when a difference value between the target speed V* and the actual speed V is greater than a reference value Vth reference value) and when the acceleration is greater than a reference value ⁇ th (a second reference value). Based on this determination, the overspeed detecting unit 81 determines whether the rotational speed of the electric motor 16 is excessively high as against an instruction of the operator.
  • the magnitude of the acceleration in addition to the magnitude of the speed difference enables the following determination to be made: specifically, when the acceleration is smaller than the second reference value ⁇ th even with the speed difference being so considerable as to exceed the first reference value Vth, the considerable speed difference is attributable to inertia of the upper swing structure ld and the condition can be determined to be normal.
  • the inertia of the upper swing structure ld can be taken into consideration, so that the likelihood of occurrence of erroneous determination and failure of detection can be reduced as compared with a case in which focus is placed only on the speed difference.
  • the fault determining unit 65 determines that a fault (e.g., a faulty IGBT 23 or electric motor 16 , or a fault in parts other than the swing control system) has occurred in the electronic control system relating to the electric motor 16 .
  • the fault determining unit 65 upon determining that a fault has occurred as described above, outputs a gate off signal to the IGBT 23 to set the electric motor 16 in a free run state before outputting a braking signal to the swing emergency brake 25 to brake the electric motor 16 .
  • swing emergency brake 25 allows the electric motor 16 to be braked even when the braking cannot be applied through a control approach by outputting a zero speed command to the inverter device 13 (specifically, causing the inverter device 13 to apply a voltage that results in the electric motor 16 generating deceleration torque).
  • An arrangement may even be made in which an annunciating device that annunciates occurrence of a fault in the hydraulic excavator based on an annunciation signal is connected to the fault determining unit 65 ; when at least one of the first condition and the second condition is satisfied, as in the above-described case, an annunciation signal instead of, or together with, the braking signal is output to the annunciating device, so that the operator or a supervisor may be advised that a fault has occurred.
  • the annunciating device include a display device 26 (see FIG. 2 ) disposed near a operator's seat in the cabin in the hydraulic excavator, a warning light, and an alarm. In this case, the display device 26 may display a message prompting inspection or repair of devices, in addition to the message indicating that a fault has occurred.
  • FIGS. 7A , 7 B, 7 C, and 7 D are graphs showing exemplary relations between the speed command V* and the actual speed V. Of these, FIGS. 7A and 7B show operations from stop to swing.
  • FIG. 7A the electric motor 16 is accelerated normally; and neither the first condition nor the second condition is satisfied, so that the fault determining unit 65 does not determine a fault.
  • FIG. 7B shows a case in which the electric motor 16 rotates backward against the intention of the operator.
  • the sign of the value of the target speed V* from which the actual speed V is subtracted is “positive” and the sign of the acceleration dV/dt is “negative.”
  • the fault determining unit 65 outputs a braking signal to the swing emergency brake 25 .
  • FIGS. 7C and 7D show operations from swing to stop.
  • the operator places the operating lever of the operating device 4 b back in the neutral position to make the speed command zero, thereby bringing the upper swing structure 1 d to a stop.
  • the electric motor 16 is decelerated normally; and neither the first condition nor the second condition is satisfied, so that the fault determining unit 65 does not determine a fault.
  • FIG. 7D shows an operation in which the operator operates the lever in a backward rotation direction to thereby bring the upper swing structure 1 d to a stop.
  • the speed command and the actual speed are reverse in polarity and a condition in which the speed difference is excessively great continues to exist; however, the operation is still normal.
  • the sign of the value of the target speed V* from which the actual speed V is subtracted is “negative” and the sign of the acceleration dV/dt is also “negative.”
  • the first condition is not satisfied.
  • the acceleration dV/dt is smaller than the second reference value ⁇ th as in the case of FIG. 7C depicting a normal condition, so that the second condition is not satisfied, either.
  • the embodiment can determine such a case to be normal without making any false determination.
  • the fault determining process is performed by using the speed (the speed command V* and the actual speed V) of the electric motor 16 .
  • a process similar to that mentioned above can also be performed by using torque of the electric motor 16 (the torque command output from the speed control unit 60 and the actual torque calculated from the output of the current sensor 30 ). Determination accuracy tends to be reduced with a considerable difference between the speed command V* and the actual speed V. The performance of the fault determining process based on the torque as described above can, however, prevent the determination accuracy from being reduced.
  • the above embodiment has been described for a case in which the fault determining process is performed in the main microprocessor 31 .
  • the speed calculating unit 64 and the fault determining unit 65 may nonetheless be mounted on the monitoring microprocessor 32 to enable the monitoring microprocessor 32 to perform the similar fault determining process function.
  • the monitoring microprocessor 32 receives the speed command V* from the communication line L 2 and inputs of signals from the position sensor 24 and the current sensor 30 .
  • the fault determining process described with reference to FIG. 6 may be performed using the pieces of information mentioned above and the speed calculating unit 64 and the fault determining unit 65 .
  • the monitoring microprocessor 32 When a fault is detected, the monitoring microprocessor 32 outputs a gate off signal to the IGBT 32 and a braking signal to the swing emergency brake 25 . This enables the monitoring microprocessor 32 to stop the swing motion of the upper swing structure 1 d , even if, for example, a fault occurs in the main microprocessor 31 and illegal motor control is performed. It is noted that the monitoring microprocessor 32 does not need to perform the motor control and is thus not required to offer calculation performance as high as that of the main microprocessor 31 , so that an inexpensive microprocessor may be used for the monitoring microprocessor 32 . Understandably, the monitoring microprocessor 32 may be omitted, if the motor control and the fault determining process are performed only by the main microprocessor 31 as in the above-described embodiment.
  • Another possible arrangement for monitoring the status of the main microprocessor 31 is, in addition to causing the monitoring microprocessor 32 to perform the above process with the monitoring microprocessor 32 and the main microprocessor 31 connected to each other so as to permit communications therebetween, to combine with the foregoing an example calculation system in which the monitoring microprocessor 32 sets an appropriate problem to the main microprocessor 31 and, based on the answer to the problem from the main microprocessor 31 , diagnoses the main microprocessor 31 .
  • An exemplary method of this kind is to cause the main microprocessor 31 to perform an arithmetic operation at appropriate intervals and the monitoring microprocessor 32 determines whether a result of the operation is right or wrong to thereby diagnose the status of the main microprocessor 31 .
  • the above embodiment has been described for a case in which the communication driver 33 b is mounted so as to allow the monitoring microprocessor 32 to perform a communication function and to receive the speed command V* directly from the first controller 11 .
  • the use of the communication driver 33 b can, however, be omitted, if the speed command V* is to be received by way of the main microprocessor 31 , which allows the system to be configured at lower cost.
  • the first controller 11 transmits the speed command V* with a check code or a serial number appended to it in advance, in order to prevent a situation from occurring in which the monitoring microprocessor 32 receives a false command value when the main microprocessor 31 is faulty and is thus unable to detect the fault in the main microprocessor 31 . If the main microprocessor 31 transmits the data directly without its being processed to the monitoring microprocessor 32 , the monitoring microprocessor 32 can determine that the command value has not been falsified due to a fault in the main microprocessor 31 .
  • Fault detection of the first controller 11 and the second controller 22 can be achieved by mutual monitoring by the first controller 11 and the second controller 22 , in addition to the embodiment described above.
  • Specific examples of mutual monitoring by the first controller 11 and the second controller 22 include the example calculation system described earlier and checking that an alive counter (a counter that is incremented at every communication cycle and reset when a predetermined value is reached) is updated.
  • the arrangements of the hydraulic excavator as those described above can achieve safety of the electronic control system relating to the upper swing structure id at low cost without permitting redundancy in each of the controllers, even when any of the position sensor 24 , the controllers 11 , 12 , the inverter device 13 , and the electric motor 16 is faulty.
  • the output from the second hydraulic sensor 21 as one of the redundant hydraulic sensors is applied to the inverter device 13 . This achieves another effect of the present invention to improve availability of the hydraulic excavator, because a swing motion can continue even when the first controller 11 that calculates the swing command or the communication line L 2 between the first controller 11 and the inverter device 13 is faulty.
  • the embodiment described above incorporates a crawler type hydraulic excavator as an example of the construction machine.
  • the present invention is nonetheless similarly applicable to any other type of construction machine that includes an upper swing structure swingably driven an electric motor (e.g., a wheel type hydraulic excavator and a crawler type or wheel type crane).
