Patent ID: 8818649

Claim:
A swing control system for a working machine having an upperstructure, working equipment attached to the upperstructure, a swing motor for rotating the upperstructure, a drive unit for driving the swing motor, and a swing control device for outputting a target rotation speed for the swing motor, said target rotation speed corresponding to a control stroke of the swing control device, said swing control system being arranged on the working machine and being provided with an actual rotation speed sensor for sensing an actual rotation speed of the swing motor and a control unit for controlling a drive torque of the drive unit such that a difference between the target rotation speed outputted from the swing control device and the actual rotation speed outputted from the actual rotation speed sensor is reduced to zero, the swing control system comprising: a correction device for correcting the target rotation speed, which has been outputted from the swing control device, based on a drive torque of the drive unit as corrected according to at least one of a work posture of the working equipment and a work load on the working equipment, wherein the swing control system is provided with a signal detector for detecting a signal value corresponding to a drive torque of the drive unit, and the correction device comprises at least one of a combination of a work posture sensor for sensing the work posture and a first computing unit for computing a coefficient of a magnitude corresponding to the work posture sensed by the work posture sensor and a second combination of a work load sensor for sensing the work load and a second computing unit for computing a coefficient of a magnitude corresponding to the work load sensed by the work load sensor, and further comprises a correction-value computing unit for multiplying the signal value outputted from the signal detector and the coefficient outputted from the first computing unit or second computing unit to output a correction value for correcting the target rotation speed.
