Abstract

In a backhoe that is a construction machine in which a swash plate angle of a variable capacity hydraulic pump driven by an engine is controlled based on a difference between an actual engine speed of the engine and a target engine speed calculated from an accelerator position, the engine is controlled through isochronous control when the actual engine speed of the engine is equal to or higher than a maximum torque engine speed with which a maximum torque of the engine is able to be output, and the engine is controlled through droop control when the actual engine speed of the engine is lower than the maximum torque engine speed with which the maximum torque of the engine is able to be output.

Claims (9)

1. A construction machine controlling a swash plate angle of a variable capacity hydraulic pump driven by an engine based on a difference between an actual engine speed of the engine and a target engine speed calculated from an accelerator position, wherein

the engine is controlled through isochronous control when the target engine speed calculated from an accelerator position is equal to or higher than a maximum torque engine speed calculated by an engine control unit with which a maximum torque of the engine is able to be output, and

the engine is controlled through droop control when the target engine speed calculated from an accelerator position is lower than the maximum torque engine speed with which the maximum torque of the engine is able to be output.

2. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein

a control target engine speed at which control for the swash plate angle of the hydraulic pump starts when the engine is controlled through the isochronous control

and a control target engine speed at which control for the swash plate angle of the hydraulic pump starts when the engine is controlled through the droop control

are set to be different values.

3. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein the engine is controlled through the isochronous control when the actual engine speed of the engine reaches a low idle engine speed of the engine.

4. The construction machine according to claim 2 , wherein the engine is controlled through the isochronous control when the actual engine speed of the engine reaches a low idle engine speed of the engine.
