Abstract

A loading vehicle is capable of improving work efficiency by adjusting engine rotational speed with high accuracy in accordance with an operation state of the working device. An HST traveling driven wheel loader has an electrically controlled HST pump. A controller is configured to control input torque of the HST pump 31 and solenoid proportional pressure reducing valve is configured to generate control pressure for controlling displacement volume of the pump based on a control signal from the controller. The controller is configured to calculate the displacement volume q of the HST pump based on discharge pressure Pf of a loading hydraulic pump so that maximum input torque Thst of the HST pump decreases as the discharge pressure Pf or input torque of the loading hydraulic pump increases, and output a control signal corresponding to the calculated displacement volume q to the solenoid proportional pressure reducing valve.

Claims (18)

1. A loading vehicle comprising:

a vehicle body including a plurality of wheels;

an engine mounted on the vehicle body;

a variable displacement traveling hydraulic pump that is driven by the engine;

a traveling hydraulic motor that is connected to the traveling hydraulic pump through a closed circuit and transmits drive force of the engine to the plurality of wheels;

a working device that is mounted rotatably in a vertical direction with respect to the vehicle body;

a loading hydraulic pump that is driven by the engine and supplies hydraulic oil to the working device; and a discharge pressure sensor that detects discharge pressure of the loading hydraulic pump,

wherein the loading vehicle further comprises:

a controller configured to control input torque of the traveling hydraulic pump; and

a solenoid proportional valve configured to generate control pressure for controlling displacement volume of the traveling hydraulic pump based on a control signal output from the controller, and wherein the controller is configured to:

calculate the displacement volume of the traveling hydraulic pump based on the discharge pressure of the loading hydraulic pump detected by the discharge pressure sensor so that maximum input torque of the traveling hydraulic pump decreases as the discharge pressure of the loading hydraulic pump or the input torque of the loading hydraulic pump increases; and

output a control signal corresponding to the calculated displacement volume to the solenoid proportional valve.

2. The loading vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller is further configured to calculate the maximum input torque of the traveling hydraulic pump which decreases in inverse proportion to the discharge pressure of the loading hydraulic pump or the input torque of the loading hydraulic pump.

3. The loading vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller is further configured to calculate the maximum input torque of the traveling hydraulic pump which decreases in proportion to the discharge pressure of the loading hydraulic pump or the input torque of the loading hydraulic pump.

4. The loading vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller is further configured to calculate the maximum input torque of the traveling hydraulic pump so that a sum of the maximum input torque of the traveling hydraulic pump and the maximum input torque of the loading hydraulic pump becomes greater than a rated output torque of the engine and smaller than maximum output torque of the engine.
