AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional auto idle systems in electric construction machines, such as electric hydraulic excavators, face challenges in balancing operability and operating time due to constant idle speed, which affects response time and battery power consumption.

Method used

An electric construction machine equipped with a controller that adjusts the idle rotation speed of the electric motor based on the battery's charging rate (SOC), reducing power consumption and extending operating time while maintaining operability.

Benefits of technology

The solution effectively reduces battery power consumption, lengthens the operating time of the electric construction machine, and suppresses the decline in operability by dynamically adjusting idle rotation speed according to the battery's SOC.

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a construction machine that can achieve requirements of both operability and operation time. To achieve this purpose, the present invention provides an electric construction machine comprising: an operation device that instructs the operation of a hydraulic actuator; a motor rotational speed setting device that instructs the rotational speed of an electric motor; and a controller that controls the rotational speed of the electric motor, wherein if a non-operating state of the operation device has continued for a certain period of time, the controller reduces the rotational speed of the electric motor from the instructed rotational speed instructed by the motor rotational speed setting device to an idle rotational speed determined according to the state of charge (SOC) of a battery.
