Abstract: A working machine includes: a working machine body; a first working unit (boom) having one end connected to the working machine body, and configured to be displaced relative to the working machine body; a second working unit (arm) connected to another end of the first working unit via a link; a third working unit (bucket) connected to the second working unit via a link; an image capturing unit provided on the working machine body, and configured to capture an image of one end of the second working unit that is located near the first working unit; and a position detecting unit configured to detect a position of another end of the second working unit that is located near the third working unit based on the image captured by the image capturing unit.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a conveyor which estimates weight of a transport object while it is carried without using devices such as a load cell which directly measures weight. The conveyor has a plurality of zones forming a series of carriage ways. An approach-run zone and a weight-measurement zone are arranged adjacently in the conveying direction and are provided with different drive motors. The drive motor of the approach-run zone and the drive motor of the weight-measurement zone are controlled with respectively different predetermined rotation speeds as their target rotation speeds. A rotation speed sensing means obtains the change of rotation speed of the drive motor in the weight-measurement zone when a transport object is conveyed into the weight-measurement zone from the approach-run zone, and a weight sensing means then calculates the weight of the transport object based on the change of the rotation speed.
