Shovel
A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body mounted on the lower traveling body, an excavation attachment attached to the upper turning body, a posture detecting device configured to detect the posture of the excavation attachment, an instability detecting device configured to detect information on the instability of the upper turning body due to an excavation load, and a processor configured to correct the posture of the excavation attachment. The processor is configured to open an arm or a bucket of the excavation attachment in response to determining, based on the outputs of the posture detecting device and the instability detecting device, that the excavation load during deep excavation is more than or equal to a predetermined value.
1. A shovel comprising:
a lower traveling body;
an upper turning body mounted on the lower traveling body;
an excavation attachment attached to the upper turning body;
a posture detecting device configured to detect a posture of the excavation attachment;
an instability detecting device configured to detect information on instability of the upper turning body due to an excavation load; and
a hardware processor configured to correct the posture of the excavation attachment,
wherein the hardware processor is configured to open an arm or a bucket of the excavation attachment in response to determining, based on outputs of the posture detecting device and the instability detecting device, that the excavation load during deep excavation is more than or equal to a predetermined value, and
the hardware processor is configured to determine whether the deep excavation is in progress based on at least a posture of a boom of the excavation attachment.
2. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to calculate an excavation reaction force based on the posture of the excavation attachment and the excavation load, and determine whether the excavation load is more than or equal to the predetermined value based on the calculated excavation reaction force.
3. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to determine whether the excavation load is more than or equal to the predetermined value based on a boom cylinder pressure.
4. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to determine whether the excavation load is more than or equal to the predetermined value based on an atm cylinder pressure.
5. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to determine whether the excavation load is more than or equal to the predetermined value based on an inclination of the upper turning body.
6. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the instability detecting device includes a body tilt sensor.
7. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to change the predetermined value in accordance with an output value of a body tilt sensor.
8. A shovel comprising:
a lower traveling body;
an upper turning body mounted on the lower traveling body;
an excavation attachment attached to the upper turning body;
a posture detecting device configured to detect a posture of the excavation attachment;
an instability detecting device configured to detect information on instability of the upper turning body due to an excavation load; and
a hardware processor configured to correct the posture of the excavation attachment,
wherein the hardware processor is configured to calculate the excavation load based on outputs of the posture detecting device and the instability detecting device, and control an arm or a bucket of the excavation attachment in response to determining that the excavation load during deep excavation is more than or equal to a predetermined value, and
the hardware processor is configured to determine whether the deep excavation is in progress based on at least a posture of a boom of the excavation attachment.
9. The shovel as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to calculate an excavation reaction force based on the posture of the excavation attachment and the excavation load, and determine whether the excavation load is more than or equal to the predetermined value based on the calculated excavation reaction force.
