Abstract

Disclosed is a construction machine including: an engine generating power; a pump generating hydraulic pressure by receiving power generated from the engine; a main control valve receiving signal oil from the pump; a key switch capable of turning on and off power of an electronic unit; an engine control unit that maintains operation of the engine for a predetermined time and then stops operation of the engine when the key switch is switched from an on-state, during which power of the electronic unit may be turned on, to an off-state; and a pilot cut-off valve for opening and closing the signal oil according to the state of the key switch, and an accident caused by the engine control unit may be prevented by the construction machine.

Claims (33)

1. A construction machine comprising:

an engine generating power;

a pump generating hydraulic pressure by receiving power generated from the engine;

a main control valve receiving signal oil from the pump;

a key switch capable of turning on and off power of an electronic unit;

a battery storing electricity and discharging electricity to the key switch;

an engine control unit that maintains operation of the engine for a predetermined time and then stops operation of the engine when the key switch is switched from an on-state, during which power of the electronic unit capable of being turned on, to an off-state;

a pilot cut-off valve for opening and closing the signal oil according to the state of the key switch;

a pilot cut-off line, branched from a line between an output terminal of the key switch and the engine control unit,

wherein the pilot cut-off line electrically connects the pilot cut-off valve and the output terminal of the key switch; and

wherein the pilot cut-off valve is formed to open and close the signal oil by receiving electricity from the battery through the key switch.

2. The construction machine of claim 1 , further comprising:

an alternator receiving power from the engine to generate electricity; and

wherein the battery stores electricity produced by the alternator.

3. The construction machine of claim 2 , further comprising:

a charging line electrically connecting the battery and the alternator; and

a discharging line electrically connecting the charging line and an input terminal of the key switch to each other.

4. The construction machine of claim 1 ,

wherein the pilot cut-off valve is formed to close the signal oil when the key switch is in an off-state.

5. The construction machine of claim 1 ,

wherein the line between the output terminal of the key switch and the engine control unit is a battery relay connection terminal line extending from the output terminal to the engine control unit.

6. The construction machine of claim 1 ,

wherein the key switch comprises:

an input terminal;

an output terminal; and

a key switch bridge that electrically connects the input terminal and the output terminal in an on-state and breaks electrical connection between the input terminal and the output terminal in an off-state.

7. The construction machine of claim 1 , wherein the pilot cut-off valve reciprocates by a solenoid coil that forms a magnetic field when electricity is applied through the pilot cut-off line, and opens and closes the hydraulic device.

8. The construction machine of claim 7 , further comprising:

a pilot cut-off switch for opening and closing the pilot cut-off line.

9. The construction machine of claim 8 , wherein the pilot cut-off switch comprises:

a first port electrically connected to the output terminal of the key switch;

a second port electrically connected to the solenoid coil; and

a pilot cut-off switch bridge for connecting and disconnecting the first port and the second port.
