US Patent 11346081 Construction machine

Provided is a construction machine capable of driving each hydraulic actuator at a suitable speed while suppressing delivery flow rate of a hydraulic pump, both at a single operation time of driving each hydraulic actuator respectively singularly and at a combined operation time of simultaneously driving a plurality of hydraulic actuators. A controller is configure to compute a first required pump flow rate for each of operation amounts of a plurality of operation devices, compute a second required pump flow rate greater than the first required pump flow rate for the same operation amount for each of the operation amounts of the plurality of operation devices, select as a final required pump flow rate either smaller one of a sum total value of the first required pump flow rates computed for the operation amounts of the plurality of operation devices and a maximum value of the second required pump flow rates computed for the operation amounts of the plurality of operation devices, and control a regulator in such a manner that the delivery flow rate of the hydraulic pump and the final required pump flow rate will be equal.
