Construction vehicle
This invention includes a hydraulic pump ( 9 ), a working implement ( 107 ) having a lift cylinder ( 13 ) driven by a hydraulic fluid supplied from the hydraulic pump ( 9 ), an operating device ( 104 ) for operating the working implement ( 107 ), a traveling motor ( 7 ) for driving wheels, and a main controller ( 100 ). When the lift cylinder ( 13 ) fails to operate despite an extending instruction being imparted to the lift cylinder ( 13 ) via the operating device ( 104 ), the main controller ( 100 ) reduces a limit value for an increase rate of a torque required in the traveling motor ( 7 ) to a value smaller than that applied when the lift cylinder ( 13 ) operates. With this configuration, occurrence of wheel slip during lifting of an object to be carried can be reduced.
1. A construction vehicle comprising:
a hydraulic pump;
a working implement with a lift arm and a bucket pivotally mounted on the lift arm, the working implement further including, as hydraulic actuators driven by a hydraulic fluid supplied from the hydraulic pump, a lift cylinder for oscillating the lift arm and a bucket cylinder for turning the bucket;
an operating device for operating the working implement;
a traveling drive device for driving wheels; and
a controller configured so that if the lift arm fails to operate despite an operating instruction being imparted to the lift arm via the operating device, and a stroke of the bucket cylinder is equal to or less than a stroke threshold value, the controller reduces a limit value for an increase rate of a torque requirement in the traveling drive device, compared to when the lift arm rises as instructed or when the stroke of the bucket cylinder exceeds the threshold value.
2. The construction vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein:
when an operating instruction for raising the lift arm is already output from the operating device and nevertheless a rate at which the lift arm rises is lower than a lift speed threshold value, the controller determines that the working implement has failed to operate despite an operating instruction being imparted to the working implement via the operating device.
3. The construction vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein:
if the bucket cylinder is operated through a stroke exceeding the stroke threshold value after the limit value for the torque requirement increase rate in the traveling drive device has been reduced, the controller returns the limit value for the torque requirement increase rate in the traveling drive device back to an original value.
4. The construction vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein:
if the bucket cylinder is operated through a stroke exceeding the stroke threshold value after the limit value for the torque requirement increase rate in the traveling drive device has been reduced, the controller returns the limit value for the torque requirement increase rate in the traveling drive device back to an original value.
5. The construction vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein:
if the bucket cylinder is operated through a stroke exceeding the setting value after the limit value for the torque requirement increase rate in the traveling drive device has been reduced, the controller returns the limit value for the torque requirement increase rate in the traveling drive device back to an original value.
