POWER CONTROL APPARATUS AND POWER CONTROL METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY

摘要

According to one aspect of the present invention, a power control apparatus for construction machinery comprises: an engine (10) connected to a hydraulic pump (20) to drive the hydraulic pump (20); and a control unit (60), which calculates an engine load ratio, defined as a ratio of a load torque of the engine (10) to the maximum torque of the engine (10), calculated from an input target engine RPM, and calculates an engine RPM command value in proportion to the engine load ratio, such that the engine (10) can be driven at the target engine RPM, and outputs the calculated command value to the engine (10). According to another aspect of the present invention, a hydraulic pump control apparatus controls the hydraulic pump (20) driven by the engine (10), and comprises: a horsepower control unit (30), which varies the swash plate of the hydraulic pump (20) so as to vary the required horsepower of the hydraulic pump (20); a pressure sensor (50) for sensing a load pressure (Pd) of working oil discharged from the hydraulic pump (20); and a control unit (60), which calculates a target required horsepower of a pump from the load pressure (Pd) sensed by the pressure sensor (50), and controls the horsepower control unit (30) such that the required horsepower of the hydraulic pump (20) gradually becomes closer to the target required horse power of a pump during a preset time (?t).
