Patent ID: 10450726

Abstract:
A work machine pump control system includes: a pump horsepower control valve (22) which causes a first urging force determining a limited horsepower (F) of a hydraulic pump and a second urging force due to a delivery pressure of the hydraulic pump to act on a spool in opposition to each other and which controls the pump flow rate such that it does not exceed the limited horsepower (F); a target pump flow rate computation section (42) computing a target pump flow rate based on an operation pressure (px) and a load pressure (py); a target horsepower computation section (41) which computes a required horsepower (Freq) corresponding to an operation pressure (px) from a relationship related to the operation pressure (px) and which computes a target horsepower (Ftar) based on the required horsepower (Freq); and a pump horsepower control section (35) which controls the pump horsepower control valve (22) such that the target pump flow rate (Qtar) is delivered with the limited horsepower (F) determined by the pump horsepower control valve (22).
