Shovel
A shovel includes a traveling lower body; a revolving upper body mounted on the traveling lower body; an attachment attached to the revolving upper body; and a control device mounted on the revolving upper body and configured to drive the attachment. The control device controls an angle of a teeth end of a bucket with respect to a target excavation ground, in accordance with hardness of the target excavation ground.
1. A shovel comprising:
a traveling lower body;
a revolving upper body mounted on the traveling lower body;
an attachment attached to the revolving upper body; and
a control device mounted on the revolving upper body and configured to drive the attachment,
wherein the control device controls an angle of a teeth end of a bucket with respect to a target excavation ground, in accordance with information on hardness of the target excavation ground.
2. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control device controls a bucket angle in accordance with the hardness of the target excavation ground in a middle excavation stage.
3. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control device determines a position at which the teeth end of the bucket contacts the target excavation ground.
4. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control device controls a length of the attachment in a case of the hardness of the target excavation ground being greater than or equal to a predetermined hardness, to be shorter than a length of the attachment in a case of the hardness of the target excavation ground being less than the predetermined hardness.
5. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control device shakes the bucket up and down or swings the bucket back and forth when the teeth end of the bucket comes into contact with the target excavation ground, in a case of the hardness of the target excavation ground being greater than or equal to a predetermined hardness.
6. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in a middle excavation stage, the control device controls a bucket angle in a case of the hardness of the target excavation ground being greater than or equal to a predetermined hardness, to be less than a bucket angle in a case of the hardness of the target excavation ground being less than the predetermined hardness.
7. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in a middle excavation stage, the control device controls a bucket angle in a case of the hardness of the target excavation ground being less than a predetermined hardness, to be greater than a bucket angle in a case of the hardness of the target excavation ground being greater than or equal to the predetermined hardness.
8. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control device adjusts the angle of the teeth end of the bucket with respect to the target excavation ground when the teeth end of the bucket contacts the target excavation ground, in accordance with the hardness of the target excavation ground.
9. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control device controls an insertion depth of the bucket, in accordance with the hardness of the target excavation ground.
10. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control device causes an image display device to display information on the hardness of the target excavation ground.
11. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control device stores information on the hardness of the target excavation ground in a landform database.
12. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the control device transmits information on the hardness of the target excavation ground to an external device.
13. A shovel comprising:
a traveling lower body;
a revolving upper body mounted on the traveling lower body;
an attachment including a bucket attached to the revolving upper body; and
a control device mounted on the revolving upper body and configured to drive the attachment,
wherein the control device adjusts an angle of a teeth end of the bucket with respect to a target excavation ground when the teeth end of the bucket contacts the target excavation ground, in accordance with information on hardness of a surface of the target excavation ground.
14. A shovel comprising:
a traveling lower body;
a revolving upper body mounted on the traveling lower body;
an attachment including a bucket attached to the revolving upper body; and
a control device mounted on the revolving upper body and configured to drive the attachment,
wherein the control device adjusts a bucket angle of the bucket in a middle excavation stage, in accordance with information on hardness of a target excavation ground.
15. A shovel comprising:
a traveling lower body;
a revolving upper body mounted on the traveling lower body;
an attachment including an arm and a bucket attached to the revolving upper body; and
a control device mounted on the revolving upper body and configured to drive the attachment,
wherein the control device adjusts a bucket angle of the bucket in accordance with a closing state of the arm, in accordance with information on hardness of a target excavation ground.
