Abstract

A hydraulic excavator is provided which makes it possible to allow an operator to surely recognize an alarm that notifies the operator of non-wearing of a seatbelt even when a work is performed in a situation in which a moving object is present around the machine. A controller outputs, when a moving object is detected and wearing of a seatbelt is detected by a seatbelt detection device, a first alarm through a notification device, outputs, when the moving object is not detected and non-wearing of the seatbelt is detected by the seatbelt detection device, a second alarm through the notification device, and outputs, when the moving object is detected and non-wearing of the seatbelt is detected by the seatbelt detection device, the second alarm preferentially over the first alarm through the notification device.

Claims (20)

1. A hydraulic excavator comprising:

a lower track structure;

an upper swing structure provided above the lower track structure;

an operation room provided in front of the upper swing structure;

a camera that monitors surroundings of the upper swing structure;

a notification device provided in the operation room;

a controller that detects presence/absence of a moving object from an image of the camera and outputs, in a case where the moving object is detected, an alarm through the notification device;

a seatbelt provided in the operation room; and

a seatbelt detection device configured to detect whether or not the seatbelt is worn, wherein

the controller is configured to

output, in a case where the moving object is detected and wearing of the seatbelt is detected by the seatbelt detection device, a first alarm through the notification device,

output, in a case where the moving object is not detected and non-wearing of the seatbelt is detected by the seatbelt detection device, a second alarm through the notification device, and

output, in a case where the moving object is detected and non-wearing of the seatbelt is detected by the seatbelt detection device, the second alarm preferentially over the first alarm through the notification device.

2. The hydraulic excavator according to claim 1 , wherein

the notification device includes a first notification device and a second notification device that is provided independently of the first notification device, and

the controller is configured to

output the first alarm through the first notification device, and

output the second alarm through the second notification device.

3. The hydraulic excavator according to claim 1 , wherein,

the controller is configured not to output the first alarm through the notification device while outputting the second alarm through the notification device.
