Working machine and method for operating working machine
First Claim
1. A working machine comprising:
- a machine frame;
a cabin disposed on the machine frame;
a boom disposed on a side of the cabin;
an auxiliary attachment configured to be attached to and detached from a tip end portion of the boom;
an actuator configured to be activated by an operation fluid and to activate the auxiliary attachment;
a solenoid valve having a solenoid and being configured to control, based on a control signal outputted to the solenoid, a pilot pressure being a pressure of a pilot fluid different from the operation fluid;
an auxiliary control valve configured to supply, based on the pilot pressure controlled by the solenoid valve, the operation fluid to the actuator;
an operation member having a head portion;
a first switch being disposed on the head portion of the operation member and being operable to set an operation amount;
a second switch being disposed on the head portion of the operation member and being operable by being pressed, the second switch being configured to automatically return to an initial position; and
a control unit configured to detect an operation of the first switch and an operation of the second switch, the control unit further being configured to;
output a control signal based on the operation amount of the first switch,continuously output the control signal to the solenoid of the solenoid valve when the operation of the first switch is detected after detecting a release of the operation of the second switch under a state where the operation of the second switch is detected, andrelease a continuous mode by further performing the operation of the second switch under a state where the control unit is in the continuous mode or to release the continuous mode by further performing the operation of the first switch under a state where the actuator is activated in the continuous mode.

Abstract
A working machine includes: a first switch operable to set an operation amount; a second switch operable by being pressed; a control unit capable of detecting an operation of the first switch and an operation of the second switch, the control unit outputting a control signal based on the operation amount of the first switch and continuously outputting the control signal when the operation of the first switch is detected after detecting a release of the operation of the second switch under a state where the operation of the second switch is detected; an actuator configured to be activated by a hydraulic operation fluid; a solenoid valve capable of controlling, based on the control signal, a pilot pressure; and a control valve configured to supply, based on the pilot pressure, the hydraulic operation fluid to the actuator.

8. A working machine comprising:
-
a machine frame; a cabin disposed on the machine frame; at least one boom disposed on a side of the cabin; an auxiliary attachment configured to be attached to and detached from an attachment portion of the boom; an actuator configured to be activated by an operation fluid and to activate the auxiliary attachment; a solenoid valve having a solenoid and being configured to control, based on a control signal outputted to the solenoid, a pilot pressure; an auxiliary control valve configured to supply, based on the pilot pressure controlled by the solenoid valve, the operation fluid to the actuator; an operation handle; a first switch disposed on the operation handle and being a rocker switch or a three-position switch; a push-button switch being disposed on the operation handle and being configured to automatically return to an initial position when not pressed; and a control unit connected to the first switch and to the push-button switch and being configured to change operation between a discontinuous mode and a continuous mode, wherein, when the continuous mode is activated, the control unit continuously outputs the control signal to the solenoid of the solenoid valve, wherein the continuous mode is activated when; the push-button switch is pressed; then, the push-button switch returns an initial position; and then, activation of the first switch is detected, and wherein the continuous mode is released when; the operation of the push-button switch is further performed under a state where the control unit is in the continuous mode;
orthe operation of the first switch is further performed under a state where the actuator is activated in the continuous mode. - View Dependent Claims (9)
