Abstract
A controller calculates the ratio between the sum of estimated demanded powers of a plurality of first actuators and the sum of estimated demanded powers of a plurality of second actuators, and calculates, on the basis of the ratio, first and second command values for adjusting allocation between a first allowable torque of a first pump and a second allowable torque of a second pump, and first and second regulators adjust the first and second allowable torques, on the basis of first and second output pressures of first and second torque control valves, such that the first and second allowable torques become values to which a predetermined allowable torque is allocated according to the ratio described above, and control the delivery flow rates of the first and second pumps such that the respective consumed torques of the first and second pumps do not become larger than the first and second allowable torques. Thus, the present invention efficiently performs torque allocation between the first and second pumps (a plurality of hydraulic pumps) to thereby enable effective utilization of the torque generated by the prime mover without wasting the torque.
