Abstract
A construction machine capable of reducing a resistance that a bucket receives from the ground and improving smoothness of a construction surface includes a working device including a working device body and a bucket, first and second bucket actuators that rotationally move the bucket, and a control device. The control device controls the second bucket actuator to make the second bucket actuator periodically oscillate the bucket in a direction of a yaw motion during excavation work or ground leveling work.
Claims8
A construction machine comprising:
- a machine body;
- a working device mounted on the machine body;
- and
- a control device that controls a motion of the working device, wherein:
- the working device includes a working device body having a proximal end portion connected to the machine body and a distal end opposite thereto, a bucket attached to the distal end of the working device body so as to be capable of performing a first rotational motion and a second rotational motion relative to the distal end of the working device body, and a plurality of bucket actuators that actuate the bucket relatively to the working device body;
- the first rotational motion is a pitch motion that is a rotational motion about a bucket lateral axis parallel to a width direction of the bucket, and the second rotational motion is a rotational motion about an axis in a direction orthogonal to the bucket lateral axis;
- the plurality of bucket actuators include a first bucket actuator that makes the bucket perform the first rotational motion and a second bucket actuator that makes the bucket perform the second rotational motion;
- and
- the control device is configured to control the second bucket actuator so as to make the second bucket actuator periodically oscillate the bucket according to the second rotational motion in a state where the bucket is in pressure contact with the ground and with at least one of a preset cycle and amplitude.
