ENGINE CONTROL APPARATUS FOR WORK MACHINE AND ENGINE CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An engine control apparatus of a work machine including an engine, a work apparatus driven by at least engine power and a manipulating lever which operates at least an operation of the work apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- an engine output decrease allowing information generating unit configured to generate an engine output decrease allowing information which allows decrease in an engine output during a period in which a lever manipulation amount total sum of the manipulating lever is decreasing;
an engine actual output processing unit configured to process an engine actual output based on engine torque and an engine speed;
a latching function unit configured to keep and output a maximum value of the engine actual output until present during a period in which the engine output decrease allowing information is not generated, and output a present value of the engine actual output during a period in which the engine output decrease allowing information is generated;
an engine target output processing unit configured to process and output an engine target output based on an engine output which is output by the latching function unit; and
an engine controller configured to control the engine speed under limitation of the engine target output.

Abstract
The present invention includes an information generator to set a lever manipulation amount total sum decrease flag during a period when a lever manipulation amount total sum is decreasing, a first processor to process an engine actual output, an engine actual output latching function block to output the maximum value of the engine actual output until the present during a period in which a lever manipulation amount total sum decrease flag is not set, and output the present engine actual output during a period in which the flag is set, a second processor to output an engine target output based on the engine output, and a controller to control the engine speed under limitation of the engine target output.

6. An engine control method for a work machine including an engine, a work apparatus driven by at least engine power, and a manipulating lever which operates at least an operation of the work apparatus, the method comprising:
-
an engine output decrease allowing information generating step in which an engine output decrease allowing information which allows decrease in an engine output during a period when a lever manipulation amount total sum of a manipulating lever is decreasing is generated; an engine actual output processing step in which an engine actual output is processed based on engine torque and an engine speed; a latching function step in which a maximum value of the engine actual output until present is kept and output during a period when the engine output decrease allowing information is not generated, and a present value of the engine actual output is output during a period when the engine output decrease allowing information is generated; an engine target output processing step in which an engine target output is processed and output based on an engine output which is output by the latching function step; and an engine control step in which the engine speed is controlled under limitation of the engine target output. - View Dependent Claims (7)
