Construction machine
There is provided a construction machine that draws attention from the surroundings of the machine body when the prime mover is started and that can have the operator reliably confirm the surroundings of the machine body before the prime mover is started. An engine start control section 23 of a main controller 22 inhibits an engine 18 from starting when a key switch 12 is operated while a horn switch 21 is not operated, inhibits the engine 18 from starting when the key switch 12 is operated for the duration until a first set time T 1 elapses after the operation of the horn switch 21 has been finished, permits the engine 18 to start in a case the key switch 12 is operated for the duration until a second set time T 2 elapses after the first set time T 1 has elapsed, and inhibits the engine 18 again from starting when the key switch 12 is operated if the engine 18 is not started for the duration until the second set time T 2 elapses.
1. A construction machine comprising:
a prime mover;
a hydraulic drive system including a hydraulic pump driven by the prime mover;
a prime mover starting device including a start operation device for starting the prime mover;
a warning generating device;
a warning operation device for actuating the warning generating device; and
a controller, wherein
the controller is configured to
inhibit the prime mover from starting when the start operation device is operated while the warning operation device is not being operated,
inhibit the prime mover from starting when the start operation device is operated even for duration until a first set time elapses after the warning operation device finishes being operated,
permit the prime mover to start in a case the start operation device is operated for duration until a second set time elapses after the first set time has elapsed, and
inhibit the prime mover from starting when the prime mover has not been started for the duration until the second set time elapses.
2. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the controller is configured to
determine whether or not the prime mover has not been started for the duration until the second set time elapses by determining whether or not rotational speed of the prime mover becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined rotational speed, and
permit the prime mover to start in a case the start operation device is operated when the second set time has elapsed without the prime mover being started.
3. The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the prime mover comprises an engine,
the engine has a glow device for increasing starting capability of the engine at low temperatures, and
the controller is configured to permit the prime mover to start in a case the start operation device is operated regardless of whether the first set time has elapsed or not if the glow device has completed actuation.
4. The construction machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a display device disposed in a cabin, wherein
the controller controls the display device to display notification information representing a state in which the prime mover is inhibited from starting and a state in which the prime mover is permitted to start.
