Abstract
Provided is a slewing drive apparatus for a construction machine capable of satisfactory pump-flow-rate control regardless of change in engine speed, including a variable displacement hydraulic pump, a slewing motor, a slewing operation device, a control valve, a relief valve, and a pump-flow-rate control device that performs a relief cut control and includes: a section for detecting an engine revolution number Ne and a slewing speed of a slewing body; a section for determining a target pump flow rate Qo that is a sum of a slewing-speed correspondence flow rate Qand a minimum required relief flow rate Qmin; a section for determining a target pump-tilt-angle qtg obtained by dividing the target pump flow rate Qo by the detected engine revolution number Ne; and a section for adjusting an actual pump-tilt-angle of the hydraulic pump so as to bring the actual pump-tilt-angle to the target pump-tilt-angle qtg.
