Pump controlling apparatus for construction machine
First Claim
1. A hydraulic drive controlling apparatus for a construction machine having a plurality of operation means to be manipulated by the machine operator, comprising:
- at least one variable displacement type hydraulic pump for pumping hydraulic fluid to a delivery pressure;
a plurality of actuators responsive to respective operation means to be driven with the hydraulic fluid from said hydraulic pump and with respective load pressures;
directional control valves for controlling said plurality of actuators, said directional control valves being driven in accordance with amounts of manipulation of the operation means;
means for detecting the delivery pressure of said hydraulic pump;
means for selecting a maximum load pressure among the load pressures of said plurality of actuators;
first control means for controlling displacement of said hydraulic pump to bring a differential pressure between the delivery pressure and the maximum load pressure to a specified value in one mode of control;
second control means for controlling the displacement of said hydraulic pump to bring the delivery pressure thereof to a predetermined set target pressure value in another mode of control;
first command means for selecting a mode of control of the displacement of said hydraulic pump and outputting a corresponding command signal;
first selection means for selecting one of said first and said second control means for operation in one of the modes depending upon the command signal from said first command means; and
wherein said second control means has first setting means for setting the target pressure value to increase as an amount of manipulation of the operation means increases.

Abstract
A hydraulic drive controlling apparatus for a construction machine has at least one variable displacement type hydraulic pump, a plurality of actuators driven with a hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic pump, directional control valves driven in accordance with amounts of manipulation of operation means for controlling the plurality of actuators, means for detecting a delivery pressure of the hydraulic pump, means for selecting maximum one of load pressures of the plurality of actuators, and first control means for controlling displacement of the hydraulic pump to bring a differential pressure between the delivery pressure and the maximum load pressure to a specified value. The hydraulic drive controlling apparatus further has second control means for controlling the displacement of the hydraulic pump to bring the delivery pressure thereof to a predetermined value, first command means for selecting a mode of control of the displacement of the hydraulic pump and outputting a corresponding command signal, and first selection means for selecting one of the first and the second control means depending upon the command signal from the first command means.
