Working Machine
First Claim
1. A working machine, comprising:
- an engine, a variable displacement hydraulic pump drivable by the engine, an electric assist motor for assisting the engine in driving the variable displacement hydraulic pump or generating electric power, an exhaust gas purification system for trapping, by a filter, particulate matter in exhaust gas produced from the engine, an actuator control valve interposed between the variable displacement hydraulic pump and the hydraulic actuator and switchable to one of a feed state in which hydraulic oil from the variable displacement hydraulic pump is to be fed to the hydraulic actuator and a non-feed state in which the hydraulic oil is returned to a hydraulic oil reservoir without feeding the hydraulic oil to the hydraulic actuator, an electrical storage device connected to the electrical assist motor, and a load application means for applying a load to the engine such that a temperature of the exhaust gas is raised to a temperature required to burn the particulate matter, wherein;
the load application means comprises an electric load application means for applying the load to the engine to raise the temperature of the exhaust gas by operating the electric assist motor to generate electric power and a hydraulic load application means for applying the load to the engine to raise the temperature of the exhaust gas by increasing a delivery pressure of the variable displacement hydraulic pump, andthe working machine is further provided with a selection control unit for performing control processing to selectively actuate the electric load application means and/or the hydraulic load application means.

Abstract
A load application means, which applies a load to an engine such that a temperature of exhaust gas is raised to a temperature required to burn particulate matter, is comprised of an electric load application means for applying the load to the engine to raise the temperature of the exhaust gas by operating an electric assist motor to generate electric power and a hydraulic load application means for applying the load to the engine to raise the temperature of the exhaust gas by increasing a delivery pressure of a variable displacement hydraulic pump, and a selection control unit is provided for performing control processing to selectively actuate the electric load application means and/or the hydraulic load application means.
