Note that, in the present embodiment, the same or similar elements as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description thereof will be omitted. The different parts will be mainly described.
- the basic configuration of the excavator is as described above with reference to FIG.
- the operating units 55 and 56 use the potentiometers 51, 52, 53 and 54 to transmit various operation commands corresponding to various lever operations of the work implement operation levers 13 and 14, using electric signals (operations). Signal), and outputs it to the controller.
- the operation unit 59 converts various operation commands corresponding to various lever operations of the traveling operation levers 15 and 15 into electric signals (operation signals) by potentiometers 57 and 58 and outputs the signals to the controller 21.
- the controller 21 has a lever operation determination unit 60, which determines whether or not a force is exerted for performing various lever operations based on various input operation signals.
- the types of operation signals input to the controller 21 include, for example, the above-described (1) and (12) operation signals.
- the operation valve assembly 61 controls the supply of the hydraulic oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 17 to the hydraulic operating section 19.
- An operating valve assembly 61 is provided corresponding to each hydraulic actuator (hydraulic motor 2a, swing hydraulic motor 3a, boom cylinder 10, arm cylinder 11, bucket cylinder 12) of the hydraulic operating section 19. It is an aggregate of a plurality of electromagnetic hydraulic pilot operated directional control valves 62.
- Each electromagnetic and hydraulic pilot operated directional control valve 62 includes a proportional electromagnetic operating part 62a and a hydraulic pilot operating part 62b.
- the controller 21 determines whether or not the engine 16 is in the idling operation state based on the presence or absence of the (1)-(12) various operation signals. .
- the controller 21 determines that the engine 16 is not in the idling operation state, and continues the operation of the engine 16 in step R2.
- the controller 21 determines that the engine 16 is in the idling operation state.
- step R1 when the engine 16 enters the idling operation state, the controller 21 starts powering for a predetermined time (for example, about several tens of seconds) by the timer 21b in step R3. It is determined whether the idling operation state has continued for a predetermined time. If the count value of the timer 21b has not exceeded the predetermined time, the controller 21 continues the operation of the engine 16 (R2). On the other hand, when the count value of the timer 21b reaches the predetermined time, the controller 21 transmits a motor drive signal corresponding to the engine stop command to the governor drive motor 24 in step R4, and stops the engine 16.
- a predetermined time for example, about several tens of seconds
- the controller 21 controls the lock lever 43 based on the input of the lock release position signal from the limit switch 44 by the lock lever operation position determination unit 21d. It is determined whether is in the lock position or the unlock position (R5). If it is determined in step R5 that the lock lever 43 is at the unlock position, the controller 21 waits. On the other hand, if it is determined in step R5 that the lock lever 43 is in the lock position, the controller 21 sets the value of the control current output to the electromagnetic proportional pressure control valve 46 to zero (R6).
- step R6 the pressure of the pilot pressure oil (hereinafter referred to as “pilot source pressure”) (Pc) supplied from the pilot pump 33 to each electromagnetic and hydraulic pilot operated directional control valve 62 through the electromagnetic proportional pressure control valve 46 is reduced.
- Pc pilot source pressure
- the controller 21 determines whether any of various lever operations for moving the excavator 1 is performed based on the presence or absence of a potentiometer 51, 52, 53, 54, 57, 58 force operation signal. It is determined whether or not the operation has been performed (R7). If it is determined in step R7 that any lever operation has been performed, the controller 21 transmits a start signal to the starter 29 to start the engine 16 (R8). As described above, after the engine 16 is automatically stopped by the idling stop control, if any operation is performed on the work implement operation levers 13, 14 or the travel operation levers 15, 15, the engine is automatically restarted.
- the pilot source pressure (Pc) is already controlled to zero by the above-described step R6, so that the oil passage switching operation of the operation valve assembly 61 cannot be performed. Therefore, even if the engine 16 is restarted, there is no possibility that the hydraulic shovel 1 (the hydraulic operating section 19) starts to move suddenly.
- the controller 21 receives the operation signals (1) and (12) from the potentiometers 51, 52, 53, 54, 57, and 58. Based on the presence / absence, whether all of the work implement operation levers 13 and 14 and the travel operation levers 15 and 15 are in the -Eutral position (that is, no lever operation for moving the excavator 1 is performed) IJ ⁇ IJ (R9). If it is determined in step R9 that any of the operating levers 13, 14, 15, and 15 is not at the -Eutral position (that is, some lever operation for moving the excavator 1 is being performed), the controller 21 waits.
- step R9 if it is determined that all the operation levers 13, 14, 15, and 15 are in the -Eutral position, the controller 21 determines whether the lock release position signal is input from the limit switch 44 or not.
- the lever operation position determination section 21d determines whether the lock lever 43 is at the lock position or the unlock position (R10). If it is determined in step RIO that the lock lever 43 is at the lock position, the control by the controller 21 returns to step R9. On the other hand, in step R10, it is determined that the lock lever 43 is in the unlock position.
- the controller 21 If separated, the controller 21 outputs a control current to the electromagnetic proportional pressure control valve 46 so that the pilot source pressure (Pc) increases along the curve shown in FIG. 7 (R11).
- the pilot pressure (Pc) is reduced from zero to the minimum oil pressure at which the oil passage switching operation of the operation valve assembly 18 can be performed (hereinafter referred to as the “operation threshold” of the operation valve assembly 18).
- (Pt) in a short time, and then gradually increase to a maximum set pressure value (P e) higher than its operating threshold (Pt).
- the operation of increasing the pilot source pressure is performed in a state where the number of revolutions of the engine 16 is equal to or higher than a certain number of revolutions and the discharge pressure of the pilot pump has risen to a necessary and sufficient level.
- the pilot base pressure (Pc) the oil path switching operation of the operation valve assembly 61 can be performed, and therefore, the hydraulic excavator 1 (the hydraulic operating section 19) can move.
- the pilot base pressure (Pc) also gradually increases the operation threshold value (Pt) force to the maximum set pressure value (Pe), so that no matter what lever operation is performed immediately after unlocking, the hydraulic pressure
- the excavator 1 (the hydraulic operating section 19) starts operating at a low speed, and a sharp high-speed operation at the start of the operation is avoided. No matter how the operating levers 13, 14, 15, and 15 are operated, the hydraulic operating section 19 starts operating at a low speed, and a rapid high-speed operation at the start of the operation is avoided.
- a step of checking whether or not the operator has sounded the horn of the hydraulic shovel 1 (not shown) is performed, and the horn sounds in advance. Otherwise, the engine 16 may be controlled so as not to be restarted. Alternatively, or by automatically sounding a beep before restarting the engine, or by using other appropriate alarming methods, people who are outside the excavator 1 or to the excavator 1 The operator on board may be automatically notified that the engine restart operation will be performed.
- a warning or an alarm is output inside and outside the excavator 1 immediately before restarting the engine, so that people near the excavator 1 or an operator who is on the excavator 1 can be notified. It can call attention to safety in preparation for the engine restart.
