Engine control device of construction machinery
First Claim
1. An engine control device for a construction machine, comprising:
- an engine as a power source,control means for performing an automatic stop control to automatically stop said engine when a predetermined automatic stop condition is met, wherein said automatic stop condition comprises a condition other than a completion of a warm-up operation for said engine, andwarm-up state detecting means for detecting a warm-up state of said engine,wherein said control means performs said automatic stop control only after completion of the warm-up operation for said engine is detected by said warm-up state detecting means.

Abstract
An engine control device for a construction machine of the present invention is configured so that the engine control device comprises an engine as a power source, a controller for performing an automatic stop control to automatically stop the engine when a predetermined automatic stop condition is met, a water temperature sensor for detecting a cooling water temperature of the engine, and that after start-up of the engine, even if the automatic stop condition is met, the engine is not automatically stopped until the detected water temperature reaches a predetermined value or more to complete a warm-up operation. The engine control device is also configured so that before the engine is automatically stopped, a cool-down operation of the engine is performed as required and after the engine is stopped, the engine is restarted as required and the warm-up operation is performed.
