Abstract

Provided is a construction machine capable of detecting a stuck-open state of a surplus flow control valve in real time during operation without involving a reduction in the operational speed. The construction machine is equipped with: a surplus flow control valve control section configured to output a closing command to a first surplus flow control valve at the operation start when an operation amount signal of an operation lever device is detected; a pump delivery control section configured to output a delivery flow rate command to an adjustment section of an open circuit pump; an assist valve control section configured to continue to output a closing command from before to an assist valve; a sticking detection determination section configured to compare a pressure signal with a previously set threshold value and determining that the surplus flow control valve is in a stuck-open state when the pressure signal is less than the threshold value and determining that the surplus flow control valve is normal when the pressure signal exceeds the threshold value; and a stop signal generating section configured to input therein a sticking determination signal, output in the case of a stuc…
