Hybrid working machine
First Claim
1. A hybrid working machine comprising:
- an engine serving as a power source;
a hydraulic pump serving as a hydraulic power source of a hydraulic actuator, the hydraulic pump being driven by the engine;
a generator driven by the engine;
an electric storage device that is charged with electric power generated by the generator;
a rotation motor serving as a driving source of a rotating structure, the rotation motor being driven by the generator and the electric storage device;
electric-storage-device breakdown detecting means for detecting that the electric storage device is unusable; and
control means for controlling the generator and the rotation motor, wherein, when it is detected by the electric-storage-device breakdown detecting means that the electric storage device is unusable, the control means is configured to perform emergency evacuation control that suppresses the power consumption of the rotation motor to be less than or equal to the power generation of the generator while maintaining voltage of a direct current bus greater than or equal to a normal operation voltage of a control system of the hybrid working machine.

Abstract
In a hybrid excavator, a generator motor and a hydraulic pump are driven by using an engine as a power source. A battery is charged with power generated by the generator motor. A rotation motor is driven by the generator motor and the battery. The voltage of a DC bus is detected by a voltage sensor, and whether the battery is unusable is determined by a breakdown detector. When the battery becomes unusable, emergency evacuation control is performed so that the power consumption of the rotation motor will be suppressed to be less than or equal to the power generation of the generator motor while maintaining the DC bus voltage greater than or equal to the normal operation voltage of the system.
