Abstract
The present invention aims to provide a work machine capable of performing tasks with high precision by preventing the deterioration of speed responsiveness of the hydraulic cylinder driving the working device, as well as preventing the hydraulic cylinder from surging or deviating. To achieve this, the controller calculates the correction value for the target operating pressure of the flow control valve to keep the meter-out pressure of the hydraulic cylinder, measured while driving the hydraulic cylinder to perform a predetermined operation on the working device, within a range from a predetermined first lower limit to a predetermined first upper limit, and corrects the target operating pressure according to the correction value.
Claims8
A work machine comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- a working device rotatably attached to the vehicle body;
- a hydraulic cylinder for driving the working device;
- an operating device for operating the working device;
- a hydraulic pump;
- a flow control valve for controlling a flow rate of a hydraulic oil supplied from the hydraulic pump to the hydraulic cylinder;
- a solenoid valve for generating an operating pressure of the flow control valve;
- and
- a controller that calculates a target speed of the hydraulic cylinder based on an operating variable of the operating device so that an operating range of the working device is limited to a target surface and above, calculates a target operating pressure of the flow control valve based on the target speed, and controls the solenoid valve according to the target operating pressure, wherein
- the work machine further includes a pressure sensor for measuring a meter-out pressure of the hydraulic cylinder, and
- the controller calculates a correction value of the target operating pressure to keep the measured meter-out pressure within a range from a predetermined first lower limit value to a predetermined first upper limit value while driving the hydraulic cylinder to perform a predetermined operation on the working device, and corrects the target operating pressure according to the correction value.
