현재 건설 현장에서는 유압 굴삭기를 이용하여 굴삭 작업뿐 아니라 비교적 가벼운 물체의 크레인 작업도 병행하고 있다 그러나 국내의 경우 유압 굴삭기를 사용한 크레인 작업은 법으로 못하게 하도록 규제되어 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 작업 현장에서는 필요에 의해 불법으로 작업을 하고 있으며 이로 인한 사고가 증가하고 있고, 그 비율이 전체 굴삭기 작업 재해의 약 38％에 이르고 있다.(중략)

An electric excavator consumes battery energy to drive an electric motor attached to a hydraulic pump to generate hydraulic power. In a conventional hydraulic excavator, the hydraulic pump is controlled by regulators, which are used to optimize the diesel engine efficiency. Because of a lack of battery energy capacity, an electric excavator controller should consider not only the electric motor efficiency but also the hydraulic pump efficiency. Thus, electric motor and hydraulic pump efficiency maps were constructed. An optimal operating map (OOM) was created based on the most efficient operating points under each input condition. An integrated control algorithm controlled the speed of the electric motor and displacement of the hydraulic pump according to the OOM. To confirm the utility of this algorithm, a model-in-the-loop simulator for the algorithm with an electric excavator was established. The simulation results showed that the integrated control algorithm improved the energy efficiency of an electric excavator.

Large hydraulic excavator weighted 90 tons used the several pumps installed in parallel to use the hydraulic pump driving gearbox to improve fuel consumption by improving the energy efficiency of the hydraulic system. Gearbox connected to hydraulic pump supply the mechanical output to the high pressure and low pressure pump to be supplied by torque and rotation, which are the mechanical power, through a input shaft connected to large size engine of the excavator. So, gearbox connected to hydraulic pump is same as main artery in the human body and is required long life because it operates the hydraulic pump continuously during operating the engine. This study had used oil contamination analysis method to check the wear characteristics of the gearbox and frequency response characteristic analysis method to check the failure of the teeth failures of gearbox, while the test equipment adopted by the electrical feedback method to reduce the energy consumption was operating for the life assessment, in which the required power was 600 kW input power.

대중적 건설중장비로서의 유압굴삭기는 1990년대 이후로 탈산업화(post-industrialization)의 영향을 받아, 형태나 색채에 있어서 변화를 시작한다. 이는 일반 소비재 분야에 비하여 다소 늦은 편이라 할 수 있다. 그 이유는 건설중장비 특성상 제한된 사용 충과 사용환경으로 인한 제품개발기간(PDT)과 제품수명주기(PLC)가 길고, 제품개발 비용이 상대적으로 거대하기 때문이다.(중략)

일반적으로 건설장비의 운전자 소음은 자동차와는 달리 주행 시 소음에 관한 것은 크게 문제되지 않는다. 다만 모든 작동부들이 유압력에 의해 구동되므로 유압 이음이 새롭게 대두되며, 엔진 사용조건 또한 자동차와는 상이하다. 그러나, 운전자가 느끼는 관점에서 운전실내에서 안락함의 요구는 점차로 강해지고 있을 뿐만 아니라 소비자들의 직접적인 구매 의욕과 직결된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 굴삭기 운전실에서 문제시 되는 부밍(Booming)소음에 대해 고찰하고, 구조 기인 소음(structure-borne noise)에 초점을 둔 실험적 기법의 도입으로 주 소음원을 규명하고 주요 인자들에 대한 기여도 분석을 통해 운전실 소음 저감을 구현하였다.

하이브리드 굴삭기는 에너지 재생 및 연비향상을 위하여 기존의 유압부품들 중 일부를 전기부품으로 대체하여 시스템을 구성하고 있다. 따라서, 하이브리드 굴삭기의 신뢰성을 평가하고 보장하기 위해서는 기계적인 부하와 전기적인 부하가 복합적으로 영향을 미쳐 발생되는 고장모드를 고려하여 신뢰성평가기법을 개발하여야 한다. 특히 하이브리드 굴삭기는 가혹한 실외 환경조건에서 운용되므로 새롭게 개발되는 부품들에 대하여 설계 결함을 조기에 발견하기 위한 복합 내환경 시험과 초가속 수명시험이 수행되어야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 FMEA, FMECA, FTA 및 HALT 등의 다양한 신뢰성 기법을 사용하여 하이브리드 굴삭기의 신뢰성평가기법을 개발하였고, 개발대상 하이브리드 굴삭기의 주요 동력전달 파트인 선회구동 시스템에 대한 신뢰성평가장비를 개발하고 구축하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 하이브리드 굴삭기 신뢰성평가기법은 하이브리드 자동차의 부품들에 대한 신뢰성평가에도 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A hydraulic cylinder is a primary component of an excavator and is used for activating attachments such as boom, arm, and bucket. Generally, the cylinder is prone to structural problems such as buckling and fatigue failure caused by cyclic high pressure. Therefore, the safety margin for fatigue, yield, and buckling during the design lifetime should be evaluated at the durability-design stage. The durability design includes basic and detailed stages. In the basic design, the principal dimensions of the rod and tube are determined by considering the working force, speed, and range with respect to yield and buckling. In the detailed design, the dimensions of the rod notch, welds, tube end, gland, orifice, and cushion ring are determined by considering the fatigue safety. We present and discuss the overall procedure for durability design and the related analysis techniques.

The parking brake is an essential unit embedded in the track-driving motor of an excavator. The parking brake plays an important role in keeping the excavator in place not only when it is parked, but also during the digging operation. In fact, the load placed on the parking brake during the digging operation is significantly higher than the parking load, because the impact and rating loads caused by the bucket digging force cycle frequently and have very high load ranges. Therefore, the load conditions during the digging operation should be taken into account in the parking brake certification test. In this study, a series of experiments was carried out in which various operating pressures were applied to the parking brake, where repeated loads were reciprocally placed on the brake by locking the multifriction disc and releasing the hydraulic cylinder. The characteristics of the parking brake were investigated by comparing the obtained experimental results and the theoretical design specifications.
