A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body, an attachment including a boom and an arm, a boom cylinder configured to drive the boom, an arm cylinder configured to drive the arm, a hydraulic pump configured to supply hydraulic oil to the boom cylinder and the arm cylinder, an input device configured to receive an input from a user, and a control device configured to control the hydraulic pump. The boom is attached to the upper turning body, and the arm is attached to a tip of the boom. When a predetermined work mode for performing hoisting work involving use of the attachment is selected in response to the input received by the input device, the control device sets a standby flow rate of the hydraulic pump to be greater than when the predetermined work mode is not selected.
1. A shovel comprising:
a lower traveling body;
an upper turning body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body;
an attachment including a boom and an arm, the boom being attached to the upper turning body, and the arm being attached to a tip of the boom;
a boom cylinder configured to drive the boom;
an arm cylinder configured to drive the arm;
a hydraulic pump configured to supply hydraulic oil to the boom cylinder and the arm cylinder;
an input device configured to receive an input from a user; and
processing circuitry configured to control the hydraulic pump,
wherein the processing circuitry is configured to, when a lifting mode that is a work mode corresponding to hoisting work involving use of the attachment is selected in response to the input received by the input device, set a standby flow rate of the hydraulic pump to be greater than when a normal mode is selected, the normal mode being a work mode for performing work other than the hoisting work, the work other than the hoisting work including excavation work.
2. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to increase the standby flow rate of the hydraulic pump as a weight of a suspended load increases, when the lifting mode is selected.
3. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configure to set, when the lifting mode is selected, an amount of increase in the standby flow rate of the hydraulic pump with respect to the standby flow rate of the hydraulic pump when the normal mode is selected, based on the input with respect to a weight of a suspended load received by the input device.
4. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic pump includes a first pump and a second pump, the first pump being configured to supply hydraulic oil to the boom cylinder and the arm cylinder, and the second pump being different from the first pump, and
wherein the processing circuitry is configured to, when the lifting mode is selected, set a standby flow rate of only the first pump between the first pump and the second pump to be greater than when the normal mode is selected.
5. The shovel according to claim 4 , wherein the second pump is configured to supply hydraulic oil to a turning hydraulic motor configured to drive the upper turning body.
6. The shovel according to claim 4 , wherein the first pump is configured to supply hydraulic oil to a first traveling hydraulic motor configured to drive a first crawler of the lower traveling body, and the second pump is configured to supply hydraulic oil to a second traveling hydraulic motor configured to drive a second crawler of the lower traveling body, and
wherein the processing circuitry is configured to decrease the standby flow rate of the first pump upon an operation relating to the lower traveling body being performed, when the lifting mode is selected.
7. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to, when the lifting mode is selected, set a change in a flow rate of the hydraulic pump with respect to a change in an operation amount of one or both of the boom cylinder and the arm cylinder to be smaller than when the normal mode is selected.
8. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is configured to, when the lifting mode is selected, set a negative control pressure at which a discharge quantity of the hydraulic pump per unit time reaches a maximum value to be smaller than when the normal mode is selected.
9. A shovel comprising:
a lower traveling body;
an upper turning body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body;
an attachment including a boom and an arm, the boom being attached to the upper turning body, and the arm being attached to a tip of the boom;
a boom cylinder configured to drive the boom;
an arm cylinder configured to drive the arm;
a hydraulic pump configured to supply hydraulic oil to the boom cylinder and the arm cylinder;
an input device configured to receive an input from a user; and
processing circuitry configured to control the hydraulic pump,
wherein the processing circuitry is configured to, when a lifting mode that is a work mode corresponding to hoisting work involving use of the attachment is selected in response to the input received by the input device, set a standby flow rate of the hydraulic pump to be greater than when a normal mode is selected and set a negative control pressure at which a discharge quantity of the hydraulic pump per unit time reaches a maximum value to be smaller than when the normal mode is selected, the normal mode being a work mode for performing work other than the hoisting work.
