Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a work machine.
  • a wheel loader is known as one of work machines.
  • the wheel loader includes a boom and a bucket.
  • the wheel loader excavates an excavation target with a bucket, and loads an excavated object on the bed of a transport vehicle.
  • Patent Literature 1 JP 2007-186929 A
  • a wheel loader When excavating an excavation target with a bucket, a wheel loader moves forward toward the excavation target with the bucket close to the ground, and inserts the bucket near a boundary between the ground and the excavation target.
  • the wheel loader When loading an excavated object scooped by the bucket onto the bed of a transport vehicle, the wheel loader moves backward to be separated from the excavation target and, then, raises the boom while moving forward toward the transport vehicle. After positioning the bucket at a position higher than the bed by raising the boom, the wheel loader causes the bucket to perform a dumping operation to discharge the excavated object from the bucket to the bed.
  • the bucket is positioned at a low position near the ground in excavation work for excavating an excavation target, and the bucket is positioned at a position higher than the bed in loading work for loading an excavated object on the bed.
  • the wheel loader needs to greatly move the bucket in the vertical direction between the excavation work and the loading work. If the bucket needs to be greatly moved in the vertical direction, this requires a large power, and the fuel consumption of the wheel loader can increase. In addition, if the bucket needs to be greatly moved in the vertical direction while the wheel loader is moving forward or backward, the moving distance and the moving time of the bucket become longer, and the working time of the wheel loader becomes longer.
  • An aspect of the present invention is to reduce fuel consumption and to shorten working time.

  • a space is formed between the first boom 11A and the second boom 11B and between the first arm 12A and the second arm 12B.
  • the size of the bucket 13 is larger than the size of the vehicle body 2 in the vehicle width direction. Accordingly, the bucket 13 can scoop a large amount of excavated object in one excavation work. Thus, the work efficiency of the work machine 1 is improved.
  • the work machine 1 has been operated by the operator operating the operation device 8. The operator may not get on the work machine 1.
  • the work machine 1 may be remotely operated, or may autonomously operate by a control device.
  • the boom actuator, the arm actuator, and the bucket actuator have been the boom cylinder 21, the arm cylinder 22, and the bucket cylinder 23 that are hydraulic cylinders, respectively.
  • At least one of the boom actuator, the arm actuator, and the bucket actuator may not be a hydraulic cylinder, and may include a motor and a gear.
