  • Patent number: 8308597
    Abstract: In order to provide a speed change transmission system which can be obtained compactly, while obtaining output at steplessly varied speeds over a large speed change range only by carrying out a simple shifting operation, the speed change transmission system has a hydrostatic stepless transmission to which engine drive is inputted. A planetary transmission device (P) has a plurality of planetary transmission mechanisms, for combining output of the stepless transmission and engine drive not undergoing speed change action by the hydrostatic stepless transmission. A plurality of transmission shafts are provided with a plurality of speed range setting clutches switchable for converting the combined driving force from the planetary transmission device (P) to a driving force in a plurality speed ranges, and transmitting it to an output rotary member. The plurality of transmission shafts are juxtaposed and arranged in parallel.

  • Patent number: 4924983
    Abstract: A propelling clutch apparatus for a working vehicle comprises a friction type hydraulic clutch mounted on a propelling line, a valve for adjusting an oil pressure applied to the hydraulic clutch, a sensor for detecting angular acceleration of a rotary shaft included in the propelling line, and a control unit for controlling the hydraulic clutch in response to a change in a vehicle running state. The control unit effects controls in three stages. The first stage includes a preliminary step of narrowing spaces between friction disks of the hydraulic clutch by applying the oil pressure at a maximum level to the hydraulic clutch for a predetermined time from receipt of a clutch engaging command, and a subsequent main step of applying the oil pressure with predetermined characteristics. The second stage is for maintaining the hydraulic clutch in a half-clutch state when the angular acceleration in an accelerating direction or a decelerating direction reaches a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 4300638
    Abstract: An automatic position control apparatus for a ground working vehicle equipped with a liftable working implement. The control apparatus is adapted to automatically control lifting and lowering of the implement so that the deviation of the draft value of the implement acutally detected by a draft detector from the draft value preset by a draft setting unit is maintained within a permissible range preset by a sensitivity setting unit. The control apparatus is characterized in that the apparatus includes a detector for detecting that the deviation is not decreasing outside the permissible range above the maximum permissible value thereof so as to automatically control the lift of the implement only while the deviation detector is in detecting operation.
