In a control method for construction machinery, an operation performed by the construction machinery is divided into a plurality of subordinate works. A current subordinate work currently performed by the construction machinery is determined. A maximum absorbing torque of a hydraulic pump is adjusted according to the determined subordinate work. An engine speed change map is adjusted according to the determined subordinate work.

A first process acquires a true value of the position of a predetermined portion. A second process acquires a reference position of a work machine. A third process determines a plurality of correction candidate values of a parameter. The correction candidate values are used so that a calculation value of the position of the predetermined portion calculated based on the parameter from the reference position matches the true value. A fourth process calculates an assessment value indicative of the difference between the true value and a calculation value for each of plurality of correction candidate values. A fifth process determines a confirmation correction value of the parameter from among the plurality of correction candidate values based on the assessment value.

A hydraulic system of a working machine includes a hydraulic pump to output a hydraulic fluid, at least one proportional valve to deliver the hydraulic fluid to a supply target, a valve body including the proportional valve, a heat-up fluid passage in the valve body and into which the hydraulic fluid flows, a switching valve switchable between an open position in which the hydraulic fluid passing through the heat-up fluid passage is supplied to a hydraulic device and a closed position in which the hydraulic fluid is not supplied thereto and the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic device is to be returned, a controller to operate the switching and proportional valves, and a return circuit through which the hydraulic fluid flowing into the heat-up fluid passage is returned as a result of at least one of the switching and proportional valves being operated by the controller.

One embodiment of a hydraulic system for a machine has a first hydraulic circuit including a first pump coupled to a first hydraulic actuator configured to move a first implement of the machine. A second hydraulic circuit includes a second pump coupled to a second hydraulic actuator configured to move a second implement. An electric motor mechanically couples to the first pump and to the second pump. An operator interface receives input from an operator requesting movement of the first and second implements. A controller communicatively coupled to the electric motor and to the operator interface determines, based on the requested movement of the first and second implements respectively, first and second flow allocations respectively for the first and second pumps and determines respective target displacements for the first and second pumps. The controller also determines first and second target electric motor speeds based on the target displacements for the first and second pumps, respectively, and controls the electric motor to operate at the larger of the first and second target electric motor speeds.

A control system for a work vehicle includes a controller. The controller acquires actual topography data indicating an actual topography to be worked. The controller determines a target design topography indicating a target trajectory of a work implement of the work vehicle based on the actual topography. The controller acquires an uneven surface parameter indicating the degree of surface unevenness of the actual topography. The controller changes the target design topography according to the uneven surface parameter.

A control method of a work machine includes: calculating a maximum flow rate of hydraulic oil discharged from a hydraulic pump; calculating a first target speed of working equipment including a bucket based on an operation amount of an operation device operated for driving a plurality of hydraulic actuators to which the hydraulic oil discharged from the hydraulic pump is supplied to drive the working equipment and a distance between the bucket and a target excavation landform; calculating a second target speed of the working equipment based on the maximum flow rate, and the operation amount of the operation device and the distance between the bucket and the target excavation landform; and outputting a control signal for controlling the hydraulic actuators based on a smaller one of the first target speed and the second target speed.

A wheel loader configured to reduce the traveling distance required for a raise and run operation, and reduce fuel consumption includes: an engine 3; a torque converter 41; a forward and reverse switch 62; a stepping amount sensor 610; an operation amount sensor 73; and a controller 5. The controller 5 determines whether a specific condition for specifying an operation of the lift arm 21 in an upper direction during forward travel of the vehicle body, on the basis of a forward and reverse switching signal, the stepping amount on the accelerator pedal 61, and a pilot pressure Ti pertaining to the lifting operation amount for the lift arm 21. When the specific condition is satisfied, the vehicle speed is limited by reducing the maximum rotational speed of the engine 3 in response to increase in the pilot pressure Ti.

A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper traveling body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body, a hydraulic actuator, an operating apparatus configured to be operated to operate the hydraulic actuator, an object detector configured to detect an object within a predetermined area around the shovel, a gate lock lever configured to switch the operating apparatus between an enabled state and a disabled state, and a control device. The control device is configured to switch the operating apparatus between the enabled state and the disabled state separately from the gate lock lever, and to disable the operating apparatus in response to determining that the object is present within the predetermined area based on the output of the object detector while the operating apparatus is switched to the enabled state by the gate lock lever, during the standby state of the shovel.

When an inclination angle is greater than or equal to a first threshold, a controller determines a displacement of a hydraulic pump from a command vehicle speed based on second pump data and determines a displacement of a hydraulic motor from the command vehicle speed based on second motor data. The second pump data defines the displacement of the hydraulic pump that is smaller than that of first pump data with respect to the command vehicle speed. The second motor data defines the displacement of the hydraulic motor that is smaller than that of first motor data with respect to the command vehicle speed.

A work machine includes a manipulation device, a surrounding area monitoring device, and a controller. The manipulation device outputs a manipulation signal to operate the work machine. The surrounding area monitoring device serves as a device for detecting whether an object to be recognized is present or not inside a set region that is set in a surrounding area of the work machine. The controller controls the work machine. The controller is capable of switching a setting of an object sensing function between execution and non-execution, the object sensing function being to restrict movement of the work machine when it is detected that the object is present inside the set region. When the manipulation signal is detected in a state where the object sensing function is set at non-execution, the controller switches the setting of the object sensing function to execution.
