20150354172 | HYDRAULIC FLUID ENERGY RECOVERY APPARATUS FOR WORK MACHINE - The hydraulic fluid energy recovery apparatus includes a fluid communication line for holding a bottom-side hydraulic fluid chamber and a rod-side hydraulic fluid chamber of a hydraulic cylinder in fluid communication with each other, a fluid communication valve connected to the fluid communication line for adjusting the pressure and/or flow rate of a hydraulic fluid passing through the fluid communication line in a manner that allows for adjustment of a degree of opening of the fluid communication valve, first pressure detecting means for detecting a signal indicative of pressure at the bottom-side hydraulic fluid chamber of the hydraulic cylinder, an amount-of-operation detecting means for detecting an amount of operation of the operating means, and a control device for capturing the signal of pressure at the bottom-side hydraulic fluid chamber of the hydraulic cylinder detected by the first pressure detecting means. | 12-10-2015 |
20150354603 | HYBRID CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - This invention provides a hybrid construction machine including a swing structure, a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic swing motor driving the swing structure using hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pump, an electric swing motor driving the swing structure in conjunction with the hydraulic swing motor, a boom cylinder operated simultaneously with the swing structure at times and driven by the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pump, a first directional control valve controlling flow of the hydraulic fluid supplied from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic swing motor, a second directional control valve controlling the flow of the hydraulic fluid returning from the hydraulic swing motor, and a controller and solenoid pressure reducing valves which prevent operation of the second directional control valve when the boom cylinder is operated simultaneously with the swing structure. | 12-10-2015 |
20160002880 | WORK MACHINE - A work machine prevents a fault in a swing electric motor if an uneven coil temperature increase occurs in the swing electric motor during swing press and related operations. An electricity storage device is connected to the electric motor. An inverter drives the electric motor and a swing control lever issues a command to drive the swing structure. A rotational speed detecting device detects swing speed of the swing structure and a controller controls torque of the electric motor. The controller reads the swing speed of the swing structure detected by the rotational speed detecting device to control such that, when the swing speed is zero, the torque of the electric motor is smaller than a maximum torque value and, when the swing speed is a first rotational speed higher than zero, the torque of the electric motor is the maximum torque value. | 01-07-2016 |
20160002887 | CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - A construction machine, comprising a hydraulic pump, a swing hydraulic motor, a swing electric motor, a delivery capacity regulating device, and a control unit which controls the driving/braking of the swing structure, is configured to comprise an operation amount detection device for detecting the operation amount of the swing control lever and a speed detection device for detecting the speed of the swing electric motor. The control unit includes a hydraulic pump output reduction control unit which takes in an operation amount signal representing the operation amount of the swing control lever detected by the operation amount detection device and a speed signal representing the speed of the swing electric motor detected by the speed detection device and controls the delivery capacity regulating device by calculating a reduction rate of the output of the hydraulic pump based on the detection signals. | 01-07-2016 |
20160003266 | WORK MACHINE - A work machine is adapted for reduced fuel consumption in regions where swinging by a hydraulic motor is prone to deterioration in efficiency, such as when the operating stroke of the swinging is small. The work machine includes an engine, a hydraulic pump, a swing structure, an electric motor for driving the swing structure, and a hydraulic motor for driving the swing structure, the hydraulic motor being driven by the hydraulic pump, and includes a swing control lever device that commands the swing structure to be driven. A control device operates in either an electric swing mode in which the swing structure is driven mainly by torque of the electric motor or a hydraulic swing mode in which the swing structure is driven mainly by torque of the hydraulic motor, depending on an operating stroke of the control lever device and/or a swing speed of the swing structure. | 01-07-2016 |
