Abstract
A shovel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body pivotally mounted on the lower traveling body, a hydraulic pump mounted on the upper turning body, a hydraulic actuator driven by hydraulic oil discharged from the hydraulic pump, an operating device used to operate the actuator, and a control device configured to control an acceleration/deceleration characteristic of the hydraulic actuator in response to an operation of the operating device depending on a work mode.
Claims7
A shovel, comprising:
- a lower traveling body;
- an upper turning body pivotally mounted on the lower traveling body;
- a drive source mounted on the upper turning body;
- a first hydraulic pump driven by the drive source and mounted on the upper turning body;
- a second hydraulic pump driven by the drive source and mounted on the upper turning body,
- a first bleed valve disposed in a first conduit into which the first hydraulic pump discharges hydraulic oil;
- a second bleed valve disposed in a second conduit into which the second hydraulic pump discharges hydraulic oil;
- a plurality of hydraulic actuators respectively corresponding to a boom, an arm, and a bucket, and driven by the hydraulic oil discharged from at least one of the first hydraulic pump and the second hydraulic pump;
- a plurality of operating devices corresponding to the boom, the arm, and the bucket, for operating the plurality of hydraulic actuators;
- and
- a control device configured to control a plurality of acceleration/deceleration characteristics of the hydraulic actuators in response to the operations of the operating devices depending on work modes and amounts of respective operations of the plurality of operating devices,
- wherein the control device controls the acceleration/deceleration characteristics by changing opening areas of the first bleed valve and the second bleed valve and a setting condition of the drive source, depending on the work modes and amounts of respective operations of at least one of the plurality of operating devices.
