Abstract

Provided is an engine rpm control device which gradually reduces the output speed of an engine drive object when reducing the engine rpm. The engine rpm control device ( 20 ) includes a target engine rpm correction means used upon detection of an engine failure. The target engine rpm correction means has a storage device ( 51 ) containing a map of the correlation characteristic between the engine rpm and the output speed of object to be driven by an engine ( 100 ). The target engine rpm correction means corrects the target engine rpm so that an instructed engine rpm (Nset) or a derating target engine rpm (Nset′) is shifted to a predetermined failure-preventing engine rpm (N 2 ) while maintaining the reduction ratio of the output speed of the drive object at a predetermined ratio.

Claims (13)

1. An engine rotation speed control device comprising:

an actual engine rotation speed detection means;

a target engine rotation speed command means;

a means for calculating a fuel injection amount based on an actual engine rotation speed and a target engine rotation speed;

an engine abnormality detection means; and

a means for correcting the target engine rotation speed at the time of detecting engine abnormality,

characterized in that:

the means for correcting the target engine rotation speed at the time of detecting the engine abnormality has a storage unit, and

the target engine rotation speed is corrected so as to make the target engine rotation speed shift to a predetermined abnormality aversion engine rotation speed based on a map of correlation characteristic between the actual engine rotation speed and an output speed of an object driven by the engine stored in the storage unit while a deceleration rate of the output speed of the object is increased with time from the start of the deceleration to the finish of the deceleration.

2. The engine rotation speed control device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a selection means for selecting one of:

the control in which the target engine rotation speed is corrected so as to make the target engine rotation speed shift to a predetermined abnormality aversion engine rotation speed while the deceleration rate of the output speed of the object driven by the engine is held at a predetermined value, and

the control in which the target engine rotation speed is corrected so as to make the target engine rotation speed shift to a predetermined abnormality aversion engine rotation speed while the deceleration rate of the output speed of the object is increased with time from the start of the deceleration to the finish of the deceleration based on the correlation characteristic between the engine rotation speed and an output speed of the object.
