Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
This hydraulic excavator serves as a construction machine and is equipped with: a monitoring unit for monitoring the periphery around the construction machine; and a control unit for controlling the execution of a construction machine operation restriction based on the monitoring results of the monitoring unit according to the operating mode of the construction machine. The control unit executes the operation restriction based on the monitoring results when the operation mode is a normal mode which is not a specific mode, and stops execution of the operation restriction based on the monitoring results when the operation mode is the specific mode.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1 . A construction machine comprising: a monitoring unit that monitors surroundings of the construction machine; and a control unit that controls execution of motion regulation of the construction machine based on a monitoring result of the monitoring unit in accordance with an operation mode of the construction machine, wherein the control unit executes the motion regulation based on the monitoring result when the operation mode is a normal mode other than a specific mode, while the control unit stops the execution of the motion regulation based on the monitoring result when the operation mode is the specific mode, and wherein the specific mode comprises a crane mode for lifting an object. 2 . The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein when the monitoring unit detects an obstacle in the surrounding of the construction machine, the control unit executes the motion regulation when the operation mode is the normal mode, while the control unit stops the execution of the motion regulation when the operation mode is the specific mode. 3 . The construction machine according to claim 1 , wherein the construction machine comprises an excavator. 4 . The construction machine according to claim 1 , further comprising an input unit that accepts a setting of the specific mode, wherein the control unit stops the execution of the motion regulation based on the monitoring result when the specific mode is accepted by the input unit. 5 . The construction machine according to claim 1 , further comprising an alarm device that outputs an alarm based on the monitoring result of the monitoring unit. 6 . The construction machine according to claim 5 , further comprising an execution stoppage announcing device that announces stoppage of the execution of the motion regulation when the control unit stops the execution of the motion regulation based on the monitoring result. 7 . The construction machine according to claim 6 , wherein the monitoring unit monitors the surroundings of the construction machine by acquiring images of the surroundings of the construction machine, the construction machine comprises a display that displays the images acquired by the monitoring unit, the display also serves as the alarm device and the execution stoppage announcing device, and in addition to displaying the images, the display displays the alarm based on the monitoring result of the monitoring unit, and when the execution of the motion regulation is stopped, the display further displays information indicating the stoppage of the execution.
