Battery-driven working machine
First Claim
1. A battery-driven working machine comprising:
- a working machine body;
a battery mounted on said working machine body;
an electric motor mounted on said working machine body and driven by electric power from said battery;
a hydraulic pump mounted on said working machine body and operated by said electric motor;
an actuator operated by working oil discharged from said hydraulic pump to operate a working member provided on said working machine body;
a working machine moving means for moving said working machine body by electric power from said battery;
an operating lever which is operable between a neutral position for stopping said working member and an operating position at which said working member is operated and when said operating lever is positioned at the operating position, working oil is supplied to said actuator;
a battery capacity detection means for detecting the capacity of said battery; and
an actuator operation limiting means for limiting an operation of said actuator and said working machine moving means by reducing the power supplied to said electric motor from a continuous application of power to a series of pulses when said operating lever is operated, in a case where a battery capacity value detected by said battery capacity detection means is at a level lower than a preset value and above a preset, lower limit value.

Abstract
There are provided with an electric motor driven by a battery, a hydraulic pump driven by the electric motor, a proximal actuator for actuating a working member by working oil from the hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor for moving a working machine body, and an operating lever which can be operated between a neutral position and an operating position. There are provided with a control valve capable of cutting off a supply of working oil to the proximal actuator in a state where operating lever is positioned at an operating position, and a battery capacity sensor for detecting the capacity of the battery. There is provided a controller for outputting a control signal for cutting off a supply of working oil to the proximal actuator to the switching control valve in a state where the battery capacity value detected by the battery capacity sensor is at a level lower than a preset battery capacity reference value. It is possible to positively prevent the machine from being immoved at the working site.

10. A battery-driven working machine comprising:
-
a working machine body; a battery mounted on said working machine body; an electric motor mounted on said working machine body and driven by electric power from said battery; a hydraulic pump mounted on said working machine body and operated by said electric motor; an actuator operated by working oil discharged from said hydraulic pump to operate a working member provided on said working machine body; a moving mechanism adapted to move said working machine body by electric power from said battery; an operating lever which is operable between a neutral position for stopping said working member and an operating position at which said working member is operated and when said operating lever is positioned at the operating position, working oil is supplied to said actuator; a battery capacity detector adapted to detect the capacity of said battery; and a voltage control mechanism adapted to limit an operation of said actuator and said working machine moving mechanism by reducing said electric power supplied to said electric motor from a continuous application of power to a series of power pulses when said operating lever is operated, in a case where a battery capacity value detected by said battery capacity detection means is at a level lower than a preset value and above a preset, lower limit value. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
