Abstract

A technique that can improve the work efficiency of a shovel is provided. A shovel according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes a lower travelling body, an upper rotating body mounted rotatably on the lower travelling body, and an attachment attached to the upper rotating body, and moves the lower travelling body and the attachment in conjunction with each other by moving the attachment in conjunction with a movement of the lower travelling body or by moving the lower travelling body in conjunction with a movement of the attachment.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A shovel, comprising:
 a lower travelling body;   an upper rotating body mounted rotatably on the lower travelling body; and   an attachment attached to the upper rotating body,   wherein the lower travelling body and the attachment are moved in conjunction with each other.   
     
     
         2 . The shovel according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the attachment is moved in conjunction with a movement of the lower travelling body, the movement following an operation performed by an operator.   
     
     
         3 . The shovel according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the attachment includes a boom attached to the upper rotating body, an arm attached to an end of the boom, and an end attachment attached to an end of the arm, and   the boom and the end attachment are moved in conjunction with movements of the arm and the lower travelling body, the movements following operations performed by the operator.   
     
     
         4 . The shovel according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the attachment is automatically moved in conjunction with the movement of the lower travelling body following the operation performed by the operator.   
     
     
         5 . The shovel according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the boom and the end attachment are moved in conjunction with the movement of the lower travelling body following the operation performed by the operator, such that a working part of the attachment is excluded from overstepping a target work surface.   
     
     
         6 . The shovel according to  claim 4 ,
 wherein the attachment is automatically moved in conjunction with the movement of the lower travelling body following the operation performed by the operator, such that an end of a working part of the attachment travels along a target line.   
     
     
         7 . The shovel according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein the attachment is moved in conjunction with the movement of the lower travelling body following the operation performed by the operator, such that a working part of the attachment travels along a target work surface.   
     
     
         8 . The shovel according to  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a control device that predicts a travelling state of the attachment accompanying the movement of the lower travelling body based on a state of the movement of the lower travelling body, and moves the attachment based on a result of the predicting.   
     
     
         9 . The shovel according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the lower travelling body is moved in conjunction with a movement of the attachment, the movement following an operation performed by an operator.   
     
     
         10 . The shovel according to  claim 9 ,
 wherein the attachment includes a boom attached to the upper rotating body, an arm attached to an end of the boom, and an end attachment attached to an end of the arm, and   the boom and the end attachment, and the lower travelling body are automatically moved in conjunction with a movement of the arm, the movement following an operation performed by the operator.   
     
     
         11 . The shovel according to  claim 10 ,
 wherein the boom and the end attachment, and the lower travelling body are automatically moved such that a working part of the end attachment travels along a target work surface.
