Abstract

Failure diagnosis of hydraulic equipment related to a control of a swash plate of a swash plate type variable displacement hydraulic pump can be easily performed in a short time. For this purpose, the failure diagnostic apparatus includes a plurality of sensors which respectively detect operation characteristic values of the hydraulic equipment, a controller (40), which inputs therein the detection values detected by the plurality of sensors, and which outputs a signal of occurrence of an abnormality of hydraulic equipment which is determined as abnormal, when compares failure determination reference values previously stored according to the each hydraulic equipment, and the detection values, and determines them as abnormal, and a monitor device (41) which receives the signal of occurrence of the abnormality of the hydraulic equipment which is determined as abnormal, and gives notice by at least one of a display and a sound.

Claims

1. A failure diagnostic apparatus for hydraulic equipment, which diagnoses a failure of hydraulic equipment related to a control of a swash plate of a swash plate type variable displacement hydraulic pump included in a hydraulic-driven working vehicle, comprising:

a plurality of sensors which respectively detect operation characteristic values of said hydraulic equipment; and

a monitor device which inputs therein detection values detected by said plurality of sensors, and arranges and displays them on one screen.

2. The failure diagnostic apparatus of the hydraulic equipment according to claim 1, further comprising:

a controller, which inputs therein the detection values detected by said plurality of sensors, and which outputs a signal of occurrence of an abnormality of hydraulic equipment which is determined as abnormal, when compares failure determination reference values previously stored according to said each hydraulic equipment, and said detection values, and determines them as abnormal,

wherein said monitor device receives the signal of occurrence of the abnormality of said hydraulic equipment which is determined as abnormal, and gives notice by at least one of a display and a sound.

3. The failure diagnostic apparatus of the hydraulic equipment according to claim 1,
