PRESSURE OIL ENERGY REGENERATION DEVICE OF WORK MACHINE

A hydraulic fluid energy regeneration apparatus of a work machine includes: a regeneration hydraulic motor driven by a return hydraulic fluid; a first hydraulic pump mechanically connected to the regeneration hydraulic motor; a second hydraulic pump that delivers a hydraulic fluid for driving a hydraulic actuator; a confluence line that causes the hydraulic fluid delivered from the first hydraulic pump to join the hydraulic fluid delivered from the second hydraulic pump; a first adjuster configured to adjust the flow rate of the hydraulic fluid of the first hydraulic pump; and a second adjuster configured to adjust the delivery flow rate of the second hydraulic pump. A control device includes: a first calculation section configured to calculate a non-confluence time pump flow rate in the case where the hydraulic actuator is driven solely by the second hydraulic pump and calculate a control command output to the first adjuster such that the flow rate of the hydraulic fluid from the first hydraulic pump is equal to or lower than the non-confluence time pump flow rate; and a second calculation section configured to calculate a target pump flow rate by subtracting from the non-confluence time pump flow rate the flow rate of the hydraulic fluid from the first hydraulic pump and calculate a control command output to the second adjuster such that the target pump flow rate is attained.
