  • Publication number: 20230294652
    Abstract: A hydraulic pressure controller includes: a hydraulic pressure control mechanism including a brake control valve for controlling a hydraulic pressure of a brake fluid; and a control substrate including a brake control circuit that controls an operation of the brake control valve. The control substrate includes a suspension control circuit that controls an operation of a suspension control valve for controlling a damping force of a suspension of the vehicle, a first relay that enables energization between the brake control valve and a power supply, and that shuts off energization between the brake control valve and the power supply, and a second relay that enables energization between the suspension control valve and the power supply, and that shuts off energization between the suspension control valve and the power supply.

  • Patent number: 7347487
    Abstract: A method of assembling a floor structure of a construction machine is based upon the machine with a stepwise part that is located at a lower level on the outside is formed on the end edge of a floor plate as a floor structure. In case of a cabin specification with a cabin mounted, a device for opening and closing a door is housed in the stepwise part with the stepwise part filled in, and a first floor mat having a substantially constant thickness is mounted on the floor plate. In case of a canopy specification having a canopy, a second floor mat having on its end edge a protrusion which is fitted into the stepwise part instead of the device to fill the part is mounted on the floor plate. Accordingly, the same floor plate can be employed in both cabin and canopy specifications, regardless of the specification, thereby reducing the number of parts constituting the floor structure.

  • Patent number: 7036251
    Abstract: A counterweight mounting structure for construction machine to which a counterweight is connected through a gap to an exterior constituting an upper rotating body is constituted such that a recessed groove is provided on an end on a connection side of the counterweight, an elastic soundproof material is installed in the recessed groove, and the soundproof material protruding from the recessed groove is brought in contact with, and pressed against an end on the connection side of the exterior when the counterweight is mounted. As a result, there is provided the counterweight mounting structure whose soundproof capability does not decrease even after the counterweight is mounted/dismounted.

  • Publication number: 20060017308
    Abstract: A cabin frame for a cabin of a construction machine includes a combination of a posterior frame body having a predetermined strength and an anterior frame body disposed in front thereof. The posterior frame body defines a common element that is used in common between different machine models, whereas the anterior frame body defines an adjustment element such that its dimension in a front-back direction of the construction machine is determined according to the corresponding machine model. Another cabin frame includes a combination of an anterior frame body defining a common element used in common between three machine models, namely, a model with an operator-protecting function, a low-tare model with an operator-protecting function, and a high-tare model with an operator-protecting function; and a posterior frame body defining a replaceable element having a predetermined strength selected from a plurality of strengths set for the corresponding machine models.
