Abstract

In the present invention, a control device determines a target flow rate of a first pump on the basis of a required flow rate of a first actuator unit. When the required flow rate of the first actuator unit exceeds a first flow rate threshold, the control device sets the target flow rate of a second pump to a flow rate obtained by adding a support flow rate, which is for supply to the first actuator unit, to the required flow rate of a second actuator unit. The first flow rate threshold is equal to or less than the maximum flow rate of the first pump. The control device opens a first shutoff valve.

This control system for a work machine comprises: a turning body; a pump that discharges hydraulic oil; a turning motor that is supplied with the hydraulic oil from the pump and turns the turning body; a turning sensor that detects the turning speed of the turning body; and a controller. The controller: calculates a consumption flow rate indicating a flow rate of the hydraulic oil passing through the turning motor on the basis of detection data from the turning sensor; calculates, on the basis of the consumption flow rate, a first turning motor demand flow rate indicating a flow rate of hydraulic oil demanded by the turning motor to maintain an acceleration state when the turning speed of the turning body is in the acceleration state; and controls, on the basis of the first turning motor demand flow rate, a pump flow rate indicating the flow rate of the hydraulic oil discharged from the pump.

Abstract

In the present invention, a compressor operates appropriately when a cooling fan rotates in reverse. An air conditioner includes: a compressor that compresses a refrigerant; and a condenser that cools the refrigerant. A cooling fan rotates forward to send outside air to the condenser. When a controller switches the cooling fan, which is rotating forward, so as to rotate in reverse, the controller outputs a signal for stopping the compressor, after the rotation speed of the cooling fan has decreased.

Abstract

A wheel loader (100) performs automatic braking control for automatically applying braking during travel in accordance with the distance to an obstacle. Brake circuits (42a, 42b) apply braking during travel of the wheel loader (100). An EPC valve (46) opens and closes a hydraulic circuit for supplying hydraulic oil to the brake circuits (42a, 42b) in automatic braking control. The pressure sensor detects the pressure of the hydraulic circuit. The controller (26) disables the control of the brake circuits (42a, 42b) in the automatic braking control when it is determined that there is an abnormality in the EPC valve (46) or the pressure sensor (25b).

When the lock operation member is at the lock position, the operation by the machine operation member is disabled. When the lock operation member is at the unlock position, the operation by the machine operation member is enabled. The controller is capable of executing an optional control function for the work machine. The controller receives, from an external server, information about the optional control function, including settings for enabling and disabling the optional control function. The controller determines whether the lock operation member is located at the lock position or the unlock position. When a setting of the optional control function is changed, the controller switches between enabling and disabling of the optional control function on the basis of the changed setting when the lock operation member is located at the lock position or when the lock operation member is switched from the lock position to the unlock position.

According to the present invention, the responsiveness of automatic braking is improved, and shock at the start of braking is suppressed. This work machine performs automatic braking control for automatically braking travel on the basis of a detection result of an obstacle in the direction of travel, and comprises a brake circuit, a proportional pressure reducing valve, and a controller. The brake circuit brakes the travel. The proportional pressure reducing valve opens and closes a hydraulic circuit that supplies hydraulic oil to the brake circuit during the automatic braking control. The controller outputs a first command current (C1) to the proportional pressure reducing valve for a predetermined trigger time in an initial stage of the automatic braking control, outputs a third command current (C3) smaller than the first command current (C1) to the proportional pressure reducing valve for a predetermined second trigger time after the trigger time has elapsed, and outputs a second command current (C2) smaller than the third command current to the proportional pressure reducing valve after the second trigger time has elapsed.

Abstract

The present invention enables automatic control of excavation work in a simple manner. This work machine comprises: a boom; an arm connected to the boom; a bucket connected to the arm; and a controller that executes automatic excavation control for operating the arm in an excavation direction and for operating the bucket in the excavation direction. A boom operation mode, which is a mode of boom operation, is adjusted in advance. The controller outputs a control signal for operating the boom in the pre-adjusted boom operation mode during the execution of the automatic excavation control.
