ENGINE SPEED CONTROLLER OF WORK MACHINE

摘要

The present invention is to reduce the flow rate of pressure oil discharged from a main pump and returned to a tank when specific work is executed with an operation amount of an operating device being made small in the state in which an engine is kept at an idling speed. According to the present invention, there is provided a main controller (20) which is capable of controlling the speed of an engine (11) to a normal work speed at which a work implement such as a boom (4) can perform normal work and which controls the speed of the engine (11) to an idling speed serving as a speed lower than the normal work speed when an operating device has returned from an operating position to a neutral position. Configuration is made such that the main controller (20) performs a control process for bringing the speed of the engine (11) to a specific work speed serving as a speed higher than the idling speed but lower than the normal work speed, on detecting execution of the specific work which is performed with an operation amount of the operating device such as a boom operating device (16) being kept small in a state in which the speed of the engine (11) is kept at the idling speed.

1. An engine speed controller of a working machine, the engine speed controller being provided in the working machine, the working machine having an engine (11), a main pump (12) driven by the engine (11), a hydraulic cylinder (7, 8) operating due to pressure oil discharged from the main pump (12) to thereby drive a work implement (4, 5), a directional control valve (14, 15) controlling the flow of the pressure oil supplied from the main pump (12) to the hydraulic cylinder (7, 8), and an operating device (16, 17) performing switching operation on the directional control valve (14, 15), the engine speed controller comprising: a main controller (20) which is capable of controlling the speed of the engine (11) to a normal work speed at which the work implement (4, 5) can perform normal work and which controls the speed of the engine (11) to an idling speed serving as a speed lower than the normal work speed when the operating device (16, 17) has been returned from an operating position to a neutral position, wherein:
the main controller (20) performs a control process for bringing the speed of the engine (11) to a specific work speed which is higher than the idling speed but lower than the normal work speed, on detecting execution of the specific work which is performed with an operation amount of the operating device (16, 17) being kept small in the state in which the speed of the engine (11) is kept at the idling speed.
