  • Publication number: 20240159024
    Abstract: A failure of a component mounted on a work machine is easily identified. A controller acquires time-series data detected in a first period as first snapshot data, and acquires the time-series data detected in a second period after the first period as second snapshot data. A storage unit stores information in which a deviation of a physical quantity from a normal range in order to monitor an operation status of the component, and a failure of the component that is a cause of the deviation are associated with each other. The controller identifies the failure of the component based on the first snapshot data, the second snapshot data, and the information stored in the storage unit.

  • Patent number: 8806699
    Abstract: A roof-light window wiper device includes a wiper motor having an output shaft; a wiper link coupled to the output shaft, and having an extension extending in a direction crossing the output shaft of the wiper motor, and a drive shaft extending in a direction crossing the extension, and a wiper connected to the drive shaft. The drive shaft and the output shaft extend at the side of the wiper motor relative to the wiper link. The wiper is connected to the drive shaft at the side of the wiper motor relative to the wiper link. Thus, there can be provided a roof-light window wiper device that can have the pressure of the wiper against the surface of a roof-light window increased by decreasing the depression angle of the wiper, and a cab and a construction machine including the roof-light window wiper device.
