  • Patent number: 11047291
    Abstract: An engine cooling device includes: a flow path switching unit provided between an engine and an EGR cooler and the radiator and between the engine and the EGR cooler and a pump. The flow path switching unit includes a first valve that allows a cooling water to flow through a first bypass flow path extending toward the pump when a temperature of the cooling water is lower than a first temperature and that allows the cooling water to flow through a radiator connection flow path, a second valve that allows the cooling water to flow through the first bypass flow path when the temperature of the cooling water is less than a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature, and allows the cooling water to flow through the radiator connection flow path when the temperature of the cooling water is equal to or higher than the second temperature.

  • Patent number: 7147175
    Abstract: In a crushing system, an interlocked operation of operation units including a grizzly feeder, a crusher and a delivery conveyor and so on is stopped by depressing an interlock OFF switch (94). For this, after stopping the grizzly feeder, a stop command section (122B) outputs a stop command to the crusher and the delivery conveyor only when a load detector (110) once detects the load on the delivery conveyor and a determining section (122A) determines that the load is cleared out and there is no remaining crushed material. Thus, if compared with conventional crushing systems adapted to stop the operation units only after the elapse of a predetermined time period, the crushing system can reliably prevent the crushed material from remaining on the delivery conveyor so that it is no longer necessary to worry about a situation where the crushed material remaining on the delivery conveyor has to be removed.
