Abstract
A drive system of a construction machine includes: a controller that controls a fuel injection valve, so an actual rotation speed of an engine is adjusted to a setting rotation speed; a hydraulic circuit including a boom cylinder supplied with hydraulic oil from a pump driven by the engine, configured so energy is regenerated as motive power owing to the pump being driven by pressurized oil discharged from the boom cylinder at boom lowering; and a boom operation device including a boom operation lever. At boom lowering, the controller cuts a fuel supply to the engine when a cutting condition is satisfied, which is defined to include that an operating amount of the lever is less than or equal to a first threshold, and resumes the fuel supply when the cutting condition stops being satisfied or when the actual rotation speed of the engine becomes less than a second threshold.
