SHOVEL AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SHOVEL

摘要

A shovel that performs excavation in accordance with a complex excavation operation including an aim or bucket closing operation and a boom raising operation includes an excavation operation detection part, a position detection part, a maximum allowable pressure calculation part, and a boom cylinder pressure control part. The excavation operation detection part detects that the complex excavation operation has been performed. The position detection part detects the position of the shovel. The maximum allowable pressure calculation part calculates the pressure of the contraction-side oil chamber of a boom cylinder corresponding to an excavation reaction force at a time when the shovel is lifted by the excavation reaction force as a maximum allowable pressure, based on the position of the shovel. The boom cylinder pressure control part controls the pressure of the contraction-side oil chamber not to exceed the maximum allowable pressure when the complex excavation operation is performed.

主权项

1. A shovel, comprising:
a body; an excavation attachment attached to the body; a hydraulic cylinder configured to move the excavation attachment; and a controller configured to control a pressure of the hydraulic cylinder, wherein, during an excavation operation using the excavation attachment, the controller so controls the pressure of the hydraulic cylinder as to prevent a lift of the body.
