Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
この発明は、移動式クレーン、あるいは、高所作業車等の油圧作業機の制御弁の制御装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
本発明の適用対象としての油圧作業機は、図3に示すように、アクセルペダル1の操作によりその回転速度が低回転速度から高回転速度の間で任意に制御可能なエンジン2と、このエンジン2により駆動される油圧ポンプ3と、油圧アクチュエータ4への前記油圧ポンプ3からの作動油供給量を制御する制御弁5とを備えてなるものである。
前記制御弁5は、その最大切換量(最大開度)で、油圧ポンプ3の最大吐出油量(エンジン2を高回転速度にした時の吐出油量)の略全量が制御油量として油圧アクチュエータ4に供給可能なものが用いられている。
【0003】
前記制御弁5を切換制御するための従来の制御装置は、操作レバー6に取り付けられて当該操作レバー6の操作に応答した操作レバー信号aを出力する操作レバー信号出力手段7と、操作レバー信号出力手段7からの操作レバー信号aを受け取って前記制御弁5を切換制御するための弁制御信号b1,b2を出力する弁制御信号出力部8とで構成されている。
【0004】
操作レバー6を中立位置から正または逆方向に傾動操作すると、操作レバー信号出力手段7からこの傾動操作に応じた操作レバー信号aが、弁制御信号出力部8に出力される。弁制御信号出力部8は受け取りに係る操作レバー信号aに応じた弁制御信号b1,b2を制御弁5の駆動部に出力する。これにより、操作レバーの6の中立位置からの正または逆方向の傾動操作量に応じた切換量(開度)に制御弁5(制御弁5のスプール)を正または逆方向へ切換えるようになっている。そしてこの場合、操作レバー6と制御弁5の関係は、操作レバー6の中立位置から正または逆方向へ最大傾動させた時に、制御弁5(制御弁5スプール)が中立位置から最大切換量(最大開度)になるよう、一義的に設定されている。
【0005】
このように構成した従来の制御弁制御装置を備えた油圧作業機では、装作レバー6による制御弁5スプールの切換量(開度)制御と、アクセルペダル1によるエンジン2回転数の制御の個別操作を併用することによって、制御油量を、ゼロ〜エンジン2を高回転速度にしたときの油圧ポンプ3吐出油量(最大吐出油量)の範囲内で任意に制御し、油圧アクチュエータ4の駆動速度を御することができる。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
この種の油圧作業機においては、操作レバー3を中立位置から正または逆方向へ最大に傾動させた状態(以下、最大傾動状態という)に維持したままで、エンジン2のアクセルペダル1の操作で以って油圧アクチュエータ4の駆動速度を制御する使用方法が多用されている。
【0007】
このような使用方法によれば、アクセルペダル1の操作だけで油圧アクチュエータ4の駆動速度を変更制御できるのでオペレータの疲労度が少ないという利点がある。この利点は、操作レバー6がデデンド型(最大傾動位置で手を離しても当該最大傾動位置に維持されるような機能をもったもの)である場合には、特に大きい。
【0008】
上記従来の制御弁の制御装置でこのような使用方法を用いた場合、アクセルペダル1の操作でだけで実現できる油圧アクチュエータ4の駆動速度の変動域は、エンジン2の低回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の全量が制御弁5の制御油として油圧アクチュエータ4に供給されて得られる下限速度と、エンジン2の高回転速度における油圧ポンプ2の吐出油の略全量が制御弁5の制御油として油圧アクチュエータ4に供給されて得られる上限速度との間になる。
【0009】
換言すれば、アクセルペダル1の操作だけで実現できる油圧アクチュエータ4の下限速度は、エンジン2の低回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の全量が制御弁5の制御油として油圧アクチュエータ4に供給されて得られる速度となり、これよりも低い速度を実現できないものである。
【0010】
この発明は、上記した操作方法において、アクセルペダル1の操作だけで実現できる油圧アクチュエータ4の下限速度を、エンジン2の低回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の全量が制御弁5の制御油として油圧アクチュエータ4に供給されて得られる速度よりも低いものにすることができる制御弁の制御装置を提供することを目的とするものである。
【0011】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成するため、本発明の油圧作業機の制御弁の制御装置は、次のように構成する。アクセルペダル1の操作によりその回転速度が低回転速度から高回転速度の間で任意に制御可能なエンジン2と、このエンジン2により駆動される油圧ポンプ3と、油圧アクチュエータ4への前記油圧ポンプ3からの作動油供給量を制御する制御弁5とを備えてなる油圧作業機の前記制御弁5の制御装置であって、・操作レバー6の操作に応答した操作レバー信号aを出力する操作レバー信号出力手段7、・アクセルペダル1に連動連結されてアクセルペダル1の操作に応答したアクセル信号cを出力するアクセル信号出力手段9、・操作レバー信号aによる制御弁5スプール切換可能域の上限を、エンジン2の低回転速 度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の全量を油圧アクチュエータ4に供給させるために必 要充分な制御弁5スプール切換量以下の任意の値に設定するための、操作レバー応答制御域上限設定信号dを出力する操作レバー応答切換域上限設定手段10、・前記各手段7,9,10からの信号a,c,dを受け取って前記制御弁を切換制御するための弁制御信号b1,b2を出力する弁制御信号出力部8、とからなり、前記弁制御信号出力部8は、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dによって画定される操作レバー応答切換域内での制御弁5スプールの切換制御は操作レバー信号aに基づいて行なわれ、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dによって画定される操作レバー応答切換域を越える制御弁5スプールの切換制御は操作レバー6を最大傾動状態に傾動操作する状態でアクセル信号cに応答して行われるよう、弁制御信号b1,b2を生成出力するよう構成してあることを特徴とする油圧作業機の制御弁の制御装置。
【0012】
【作用】
以上のように構成した本発明の油圧作業機の制御弁の制御装置において、アクセルペダル1の操作だけで実現できる油圧アクチュエータ4の下限速度を、エンジン2の低回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の全量が制御弁5の制御油として油圧アクチュエータ4に供給されて得られる速度よりも低いものしようとするときには、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定手段を操作し、当該手段から、操作レバー信号aによる制御弁スプールの切換可能域の上限が、「エンジン2の低回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の全量を油圧アクチュエータ4に供給させるために必要充分な制御弁スプール切換量」以下の任意の切換量に設定する操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dを出力させる。
【0013】
操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dを受け取った弁制御信号出力部8は、操作レバー6の操作により切換操作可能な制御弁5の操作レバー応答切換域の上限を受け取りに係る操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dに応じて変更する。操作レバー応答切換域は、制御弁5を切換量ゼロ(中立位置)〜操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dによりその上限が設定される切換域である。
【0014】
次いで、操作レバー6を最大傾動状態に傾動操作する。この状態では、操作レバー信号aは、操作レバー6の最大傾動操作に応答するものであるが、弁制御信号出力部8において操作レバー応答切換域の上限が、「エンジン2の低回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の全量を油圧アクチュエータ4に供給させるために必要充分な制御弁スプール切換量」以下の任意の切換量に設定されているので、制御弁5は、エンジン低回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出量の一部をその制御油として油圧アクチュエータ4に供給する切換量に切り換えられている。油圧ポンプの吐出量の残余部分は、ポンプ油路に配置したリリーフ弁等を通りタンクに還流する。
【0015】
この状態では、油圧アクチュエータ4の駆動速度は、エンジン2の低回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の全量を油圧アクチュエータ4に供給して得られる速度よりも低いものとなっている。
【0016】
弁制御信号出力手段8は、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dによって画定される操作レバー応答切換域(その上限が操作レバー応答切換域設定手段により任意に設定できる操作レバー応答切換域)内での制御弁5スプールの切換制御は操作レバー信号aに基づいて行なわれ、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dによって画定される操作レバー応答切換域を越える制御弁5スプールの切換制御はアクセル信号cに応答して行われるよう、弁制御信号b1,b2を生成出力するよう構成されているので、上述の状態で、アクセルぺダル1によりエンジン2の回転速度を低回転速度から高回転速度へ増速制御することで、制御弁5を前記操作レバー応答切換域を越えて切換制御することができるのである。
【0017】
したがって、本発明に係る油圧作業機の制御弁の制御装置によれば、アクセルペダル1の操作だけで実現できる油圧アクチュエータ4の下限速度を、エンジン2の低回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の全量が制御弁5の制御油として油圧アクチュエータ4に供給されて得られる速度よりも低い任意の速度に設定できるのである。
【0018】
【実施例】
以下本発明に係る制御弁の制御装置の実施例を、図1に基づいて説明する。
本発明に係る制御弁の制御装置の適用対象としての油圧作業機は、上記従来技術で説明したものと同様、アクセルペダル1の操作によりその回転速度が低回転速度から高回転速度の間で任意に制御可能なエンジン2と、このエンジン2により駆動される油圧ポンプ3と、油圧アクチュエータ4への前記油圧ポンプ3からの作動油供給量を制御する制御弁5とを備えている。
【0019】
前記制御弁5は、この実施例では、切換量ゼロの中立位置から正方向および逆方向へ切切換可能な四方向三位置型の方向切換弁で構成されている。そして、この制御弁は、エンジン2の高回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の略全量を油圧アクチュエータ4に供給させるために必要な切換量(以下「エンジン高速回転速度での飽和切換量」という)まで、正逆方向へ切換可能なものが用いられている。この制御弁5は、その駆動部(図示せず)に入力される弁制御信号b1,b2により、中立位置からの正方向および逆方向への切換量が制御されるようになっている。
【0020】
本発明に係る制御弁の制御装置は、操作レバー6に取り付けられて当該操作レバー6の操作に応答した操作レバー信号aを出力する操作レバー信号出力手段7、アクセルペダル1に連動連結されてアクセルペダル1の操作に応答したアクセル信号cを出力するアクセル信号出力手段9、操作レバー信号aで切換可能な制御弁5スプールの切換域(操作レバー応答切換域)の上限を任意に設定するための操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dを出力する操作レバー応答切換域上限設定手段10、および、前記各手段(操作レバー信号出力手段7、アクセル信号出力手段9、および、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定手段10)からの信号(操作レバー信号a、アクセル信号c、および、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号d)を受けとって制御弁5を切換制御するための弁制御信号b1,b2を出力する弁制御信号出力部8とで構成されている。
【0021】
前記操作レバー信号出力手段7が出力する操作レバー信号aは、操作レバー6の中立位置からの正逆傾動方向と傾動量を示す信号である。
【0022】
前記アクセル信号出力手段9の出力するアクセル信号aは、アクセルペダル1の踏み込み量に対応する信号である。
【0023】
前記操作レバー応答切換域上限設定手段10が出力する操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dは、操作レバー信号aで切換可能な制御弁5(制御弁5のスプール)の切換域(中立位置から正方向への切換域、および、中立位置から逆方向への切換域)の上限を任意に設定するためのものである。
【0024】
操作レバー応答切換域上限設定手段10による操作レバー応答切換域上限は、エンジン2の低回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の全量を油圧アクチュエータ4に供給させるために必要充分な制御弁5の切換量(以下、「エンジン低速回転速度での飽和切換量」という)よりも充分小さな値(制御弁5の中立位置も含む)と、「エンジン低回転速度での飽和切換量」以上の値(「エンジン高回転速度での飽和切換量」を含む)との間で段階的あるいは連続的に任意に設定可能になっている。
【0025】
図2は、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定手段10によりその上限が設定される操作レバー応答切換域の説明図である。図2では、制御弁5の正方向の切換域のみを示している。図2において、切換弁5の切換域は、中立位置Oから「エンジン高回転速度での飽和切換量」X2(エンジン2の高回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の略全量を油圧アクチュエータ4に供給させるために必要な切換量)までの間である。操作レバー応答切換域上限設定手段10により、操作レバー応答切換域の上限は、「エンジン低回転速度での飽和切換量」X1よりも充分小さな値Y1と、「エンジン低回転速度での飽和切換量」X1以上の値Y2との間で段階的あるいは連続的に任意に設定可能となっている。
【0026】
前記Y1は、この例では中立位置Oと「エンジン低速回転速度での飽和切換量」Y1の中間に設定したものを示しているが、このY1は中立位置に設定しても良い。また、前記Y2は、「エンジン低回転速度での飽和切換量」Y1を多少超えた位置に設定したものを示しているが、このY2は「エンジン高回転速度での飽和切換量Y2に設定しても良い。
【0027】
操作レバー応答切換域上限設定手段10によりその切換域の上限がY1〜Y2の範囲で段階的または連続的に変更される操作レバー応答切換域は、中立位置OからY1乃至中立位置OからY2の範囲で段階的または連続的に変更可能となっている。
【0028】
図1に戻って説明する。前記弁制御信号出力部8は、操作レバー信号出力手段7、アクセル信号出力手段9、および、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定手段10から、操作レバー信号a、アクセル信号c、および、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dを受けとって演算処理し、制御弁5を切換制御するための弁制御信号b1,b2を出力するものである。
【0029】
この弁制御信号出力部8は、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dによって画定される操作レバー応答切換域内での制御弁5スプールの切換制御は操作レバー信号aに基づいて行なわれ、操作レバー応答切換域上限設定信号dによって画定される操作レバー応答切換域を越える制御弁5スプールの切換制御はアクセル信号cに応答して行われるよう、弁制御信号を生成出力するよう構成している。

【本発明の効果】
以上の如く構成し作用する本発明に係る油圧作業機の制御装置は、アクセルペダル1の操作だけで実現できる油圧アクチュエータ4の下限速度を、エンジン2の低回転速度における油圧ポンプ3の吐出油の全量が制御弁5の制御油として油圧アクチュエータ4に供給されて得られる速度よりも低い任意の速度に設定できるのである。換言すれば、アクセルペダル1の操作だけで油圧アクチュエータ4の駆動速度を変更制御できる範囲を大幅に増大することができるという利点がある。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a control device for a control valve of a hydraulic working machine such as a mobile crane or an aerial work vehicle.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIG. 3, the hydraulic working machine to which the present invention is applied includes an engine 2 whose rotation speed can be arbitrarily controlled between a low rotation speed and a high rotation speed by operating an accelerator pedal 1, and this engine. 2 and a control valve 5 for controlling the amount of hydraulic oil supplied from the hydraulic pump 3 to the hydraulic actuator 4.
The control valve 5 is a hydraulic actuator whose maximum switching amount (maximum opening) is set so that substantially the entire amount of the maximum discharge oil amount of the hydraulic pump 3 (discharge oil amount when the engine 2 is at a high rotation speed) is the control oil amount. 4 is used.
[0003]
The conventional control device for switching and controlling the control valve 5 includes an operation lever signal output means 7 that is attached to the operation lever 6 and outputs an operation lever signal a in response to the operation of the operation lever 6, and an operation lever signal. It comprises a valve control signal output unit 8 that receives an operation lever signal a from the output means 7 and outputs valve control signals b1 and b2 for switching and controlling the control valve 5.
[0004]
When the operation lever 6 is tilted in the forward or reverse direction from the neutral position, an operation lever signal a corresponding to the tilt operation is output from the operation lever signal output means 7 to the valve control signal output unit 8. The valve control signal output unit 8 outputs the valve control signals b1 and b2 corresponding to the receiving operation lever signal a to the drive unit of the control valve 5. As a result, the control valve 5 (spool of the control valve 5) is switched in the forward or reverse direction to a switching amount (opening) corresponding to the tilting operation amount in the forward or reverse direction from the neutral position of the operation lever 6. ing. In this case, the relationship between the control lever 6 and the control valve 5 is that the control valve 5 (control valve 5 spool) is shifted from the neutral position to the maximum switching amount (when the control lever 5 is tilted to the maximum in the forward or reverse direction from the neutral position). The maximum opening is set uniquely.
[0005]
In the hydraulic working machine having the conventional control valve control device configured as described above, the switching amount (opening) control of the control valve 5 spool by the operating lever 6 and the control of the engine 2 rotation speed by the accelerator pedal 1 are individually performed. By using the operation together, the control oil amount is arbitrarily controlled within a range of zero to the hydraulic pump 3 discharge oil amount (maximum discharge oil amount) when the engine 2 is at a high rotational speed, and the hydraulic actuator 4 is driven. You can control the speed.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In this type of hydraulic working machine, the operation lever 3 can be operated by operating the accelerator pedal 1 of the engine 2 while maintaining the operation lever 3 in the maximum tilted position in the forward or reverse direction from the neutral position (hereinafter referred to as the maximum tilted state). Therefore, a usage method for controlling the driving speed of the hydraulic actuator 4 is frequently used.
[0007]
According to such a method of use, since the drive speed of the hydraulic actuator 4 can be changed and controlled only by operating the accelerator pedal 1, there is an advantage that the operator's fatigue level is low. This advantage is particularly great when the operation lever 6 is of a dend type (having a function that maintains the maximum tilt position even if the hand is released at the maximum tilt position).
[0008]
When such a method of use is used in the conventional control valve control apparatus, the fluctuation range of the drive speed of the hydraulic actuator 4 that can be realized only by operating the accelerator pedal 1 is the hydraulic pump 3 at a low rotational speed of the engine 2. The lower limit speed obtained by supplying the total amount of discharged oil to the hydraulic actuator 4 as the control oil of the control valve 5, and the substantially total amount of discharged oil of the hydraulic pump 2 at the high rotational speed of the engine 2 as the control oil of the control valve 5 It is between the upper limit speed obtained by being supplied to the hydraulic actuator 4.
[0009]
In other words, the lower limit speed of the hydraulic actuator 4 that can be realized only by operating the accelerator pedal 1 is that the total amount of oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 3 at the low rotational speed of the engine 2 is supplied to the hydraulic actuator 4 as control oil for the control valve 5. It is a speed obtained by the above, and a speed lower than this cannot be realized.
[0010]
According to the present invention, in the above-described operation method, the lower limit speed of the hydraulic actuator 4 that can be realized only by operating the accelerator pedal 1 is the total amount of oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 3 at the low rotational speed of the engine 2 as the control oil of the control valve 5. An object of the present invention is to provide a control device for a control valve that can be lower than the speed obtained by being supplied to the hydraulic actuator 4.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a control device for a control valve of a hydraulic working machine according to the present invention is configured as follows. An engine 2 whose rotational speed can be arbitrarily controlled between a low rotational speed and a high rotational speed by operating the accelerator pedal 1, a hydraulic pump 3 driven by the engine 2, and the hydraulic pump 3 to the hydraulic actuator 4 A control valve 5 of a hydraulic working machine comprising a control valve 5 for controlling the amount of hydraulic oil supplied from the control lever, and an operation lever for outputting an operation lever signal a in response to the operation of the operation lever 6 Signal output means 7 Accelerator signal output means 9 that outputs an accelerator signal c that is linked to the accelerator pedal 1 and responds to the operation of the accelerator pedal 1, and an upper limit of the control valve 5 spool switching range by the operating lever signal a Control valve 5 spool switching necessary and sufficient to supply hydraulic actuator 4 with the entire amount of oil discharged from hydraulic pump 3 at low rotational speed of engine 2 Operation lever response switching area upper limit setting means 10 for outputting an operation lever response control area upper limit setting signal d for setting to any of the following values: Signals a, c, d from the means 7, 9, 10 And a valve control signal output unit 8 that outputs valve control signals b1 and b2 for switching control of the control valve. The valve control signal output unit 8 is an operation lever response switching range upper limit setting signal d. Switching control of the control valve 5 spool within the operating lever response switching area defined by the control lever is performed based on the operating lever signal a, and control exceeding the operating lever response switching area defined by the operating lever response switching area upper limit setting signal d. The switching control of the valve 5 spool is configured to generate and output the valve control signals b1 and b2 so as to be performed in response to the accelerator signal c in a state where the operation lever 6 is tilted to the maximum tilt state. A control device for a control valve of a hydraulic working machine.
[0012]
[Action]
In the control device for the control valve of the hydraulic working machine of the present invention configured as described above, the lower limit speed of the hydraulic actuator 4 that can be realized only by operating the accelerator pedal 1 is set to the discharge oil of the hydraulic pump 3 at the low rotational speed of the engine 2. When the control valve 5 is supplied to the hydraulic actuator 4 as the control oil for the control valve 5, the operating lever response switching area upper limit setting means is operated, and the operating lever signal a is Arbitrary switching where the upper limit of the control valve spool switching range is less than “the control valve spool switching amount necessary and sufficient to supply the hydraulic actuator 4 with the entire amount of oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 3 at the low rotational speed of the engine 2”. The control lever response switching range upper limit setting signal d to be set to the amount is output.
[0013]
The valve control signal output unit 8 that has received the operating lever response switching area upper limit setting signal d receives the upper limit of the operating lever response switching area of the control valve 5 that can be switched by operating the operating lever 6. It changes according to the upper limit setting signal d. The operation lever response switching area is a switching area in which the upper limit of the control valve 5 is set by the switching amount zero (neutral position) to the operation lever response switching area upper limit setting signal d.
[0014]
Next, the operation lever 6 is tilted to the maximum tilt state. In this state, the control lever signal a responds to the maximum tilting operation of the control lever 6, but the upper limit of the control lever response switching area in the valve control signal output unit 8 is “hydraulic pressure at a low rotational speed of the engine 2. Since the control valve 5 is set to an arbitrary switching amount equal to or less than the “control valve spool switching amount sufficient to supply the hydraulic actuator 4 with the entire amount of oil discharged from the pump 3, the control valve 5 is a hydraulic pump at a low engine speed. 3 is switched to a switching amount for supplying a part of the discharge amount 3 to the hydraulic actuator 4 as its control oil. The remaining portion of the discharge amount of the hydraulic pump returns to the tank through a relief valve or the like disposed in the pump oil passage.
[0015]
In this state, the driving speed of the hydraulic actuator 4 is lower than the speed obtained by supplying the hydraulic pump 3 with the entire amount of oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 3 at the low rotational speed of the engine 2.
[0016]
The valve control signal output means 8 is within the operating lever response switching area defined by the operating lever response switching area upper limit setting signal d (the operating lever response switching area whose upper limit can be arbitrarily set by the operating lever response switching area setting means). The switching control of the control valve 5 spool is performed based on the operating lever signal a, and the switching control of the control valve 5 spool exceeding the operating lever response switching range defined by the operating lever response switching range upper limit setting signal d is the accelerator signal c. Since the valve control signals b1 and b2 are generated and output in response to the above, in the above-described state, the accelerator pedal 1 increases the rotational speed of the engine 2 from a low rotational speed to a high rotational speed. By controlling the speed, the control valve 5 can be switched and controlled beyond the operating lever response switching range.
[0017]
Therefore, according to the control device for the control valve of the hydraulic working machine according to the present invention, the lower limit speed of the hydraulic actuator 4 that can be realized only by the operation of the accelerator pedal 1 is set to the discharge oil of the hydraulic pump 3 at the low rotational speed of the engine 2. The entire amount can be set to an arbitrary speed lower than the speed obtained by being supplied to the hydraulic actuator 4 as the control oil of the control valve 5.
[0018]
【Example】
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a control device for a control valve according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The hydraulic working machine as an application target of the control device for the control valve according to the present invention is arbitrarily set between a low rotational speed and a high rotational speed by operating the accelerator pedal 1, as described in the prior art. And a hydraulic pump 3 driven by the engine 2, and a control valve 5 for controlling the amount of hydraulic oil supplied from the hydraulic pump 3 to the hydraulic actuator 4.
[0019]
In this embodiment, the control valve 5 is constituted by a four-way three-position type directional switching valve that can be switched from a neutral position where the switching amount is zero to a forward direction and a reverse direction. The control valve is a switching amount (hereinafter referred to as “saturation switching amount at high engine speed”) required to supply the hydraulic actuator 4 with substantially the entire amount of oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 3 at a high rotational speed of the engine 2. The switchable in the forward / reverse direction is used. The control valve 5 is controlled in its forward and reverse switching amounts from the neutral position by valve control signals b1 and b2 input to its drive section (not shown).
[0020]

The accelerator signal a output from the accelerator signal output means 9 is a signal corresponding to the depression amount of the accelerator pedal 1.
[0023]
The operating lever response switching area upper limit setting signal d output from the operating lever response switching area upper limit setting means 10 is a positive value from the switching area (neutral position) of the control valve 5 (spool of the control valve 5) that can be switched by the operating lever signal a. This is for arbitrarily setting the upper limit of the switching area in the direction and the switching area from the neutral position to the reverse direction.
[0024]
The operation lever response switching area upper limit by the operation lever response switching area upper limit setting means 10 is the switching of the control valve 5 that is necessary and sufficient to supply the hydraulic actuator 4 with the entire amount of oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 3 at the low rotational speed of the engine 2. A value sufficiently smaller than the amount (hereinafter referred to as “saturation switching amount at low engine speed”) (including the neutral position of control valve 5) and a value equal to or greater than “saturation switching amount at low engine speed” (“ And “saturation switching amount at high engine speed”) can be arbitrarily set stepwise or continuously.
[0025]
FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the operating lever response switching area in which the upper limit is set by the operating lever response switching area upper limit setting means 10. In FIG. 2, only the switching area of the control valve 5 in the positive direction is shown. In FIG. 2, the switching area of the switching valve 5 is from the neutral position O to “saturation switching amount at high engine speed” X2 (substantially the total amount of oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 3 at high engine speed is transferred to the hydraulic actuator 4. The amount of change necessary for supplying the power). The operating lever response switching range upper limit setting means 10 sets the upper limit of the operating lever response switching range to a value Y1 sufficiently smaller than “saturation switching amount at low engine speed” X1, and “saturation switching amount at low engine speed”. It can be arbitrarily set in a stepwise or continuous manner between the value Y2 of X1 or more.
[0026]
In the present example, Y1 represents a value set between the neutral position O and the “saturation switching amount at the engine low speed” Y1, but this Y1 may be set to the neutral position. In addition, Y2 indicates the value set slightly beyond the "saturation switching amount at low engine speed" Y1, but this Y2 is set to "saturation switching amount Y2 at high engine speed". May be.
[0027]
The operating lever response switching range, in which the upper limit of the switching range is changed stepwise or continuously in the range of Y1 to Y2 by the operating lever response switching range upper limit setting means 10, is from neutral position O to Y1 to neutral position O to Y2. The range can be changed stepwise or continuously.

The valve control signal output unit 8 includes an operation lever signal a, an accelerator signal c, and an operation lever response switching from the operation lever signal output means 7, the accelerator signal output means 9, and the operation lever response switching area upper limit setting means 10. The range upper limit setting signal d is received and processed, and valve control signals b1 and b2 for switching control of the control valve 5 are output.
[0029]
The valve control signal output unit 8 performs switching control of the control valve 5 spool within the operating lever response switching area defined by the operating lever response switching area upper limit setting signal d based on the operating lever signal a. The switching control of the control valve 5 spool exceeding the operation lever response switching range defined by the switching range upper limit setting signal d is configured to generate and output a valve control signal so as to be performed in response to the accelerator signal c.

[Effect of the present invention]
The control device for a hydraulic working machine according to the present invention constructed and operated as described above sets the lower limit speed of the hydraulic actuator 4 that can be realized only by operating the accelerator pedal 1 to the discharge oil of the hydraulic pump 3 at the low rotational speed of the engine 2. The entire amount can be set to an arbitrary speed lower than the speed obtained by being supplied to the hydraulic actuator 4 as the control oil of the control valve 5. In other words, there is an advantage that the range in which the drive speed of the hydraulic actuator 4 can be changed and controlled only by operating the accelerator pedal 1 can be greatly increased.
