  • Patent number: 7293725
    Abstract: In an impact crusher, a rise of an advancing-retracting portion (65) of a gap adjuster (60) caused when a rebound plate (33) touches a rotor (32) or the rotation amount of the rotor (32) is detected to determine a zero-point position of the rebound plate (33) is determined based on the detected result, so that the zero-point position can be securely determined since it is not necessary to touch and vibrate the rebound plate with the rotor rotating at a high speed, and since the rebound plate (33) is not vibrated, the zero-point position can be securely determined without being influenced by the abrasion of the rebound plate (33) and the impact plate (322), thereby accurately adjusting gap (C).

  • Patent number: 5699873
    Abstract: When a longitudinal straight traveling mode position A, an oblique traveling mode position B, a transverse traveling mode position C, or spin turning mode position D is selected by a traveling mode changeover switch 21, a signal corresponding to the selection is input to a controller 27. The controller outputs signals to turning actuators 15a and 15b for orienting driving wheels 11a and 11b toward the selected position. With this signal, the turning actuators 15a and 15b cause turning of the driving wheels 11a and 11b. At the same time, turning angle detection sensors 16a and 16b input signal indicative of turning angle of the driving wheels. When the turning angle becomes coincident with a preliminarily set angle, a signal for terminating turning is output to the turning actuators 15a and 15b. By this control, turning action of the turning actuators 15a and 15b is terminated with setting the driving wheels 11a and 11b at the position of the selected orientation.

  • Patent number: 5598648
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with an apparatus for controlling a straight excavating operation with a hydraulic excavator such as a power shovel or the like machine including three working units, i.e., a boom, an arm and a bucket. When the straight excavating operation is performed, a hydraulic pressure of hydraulic oil in a hydraulic chamber on the boom lowering side of a boom cylinder is conducted to a drain tank while maintaining a predetermined set pressure, and a hydraulic pressure of hydraulic oil in a hydraulic chamber on the boom raising side of the boom cylinder is conducted to the drain tank via a check valve which serves to inhibit the hydraulic oil from flowing from the hydraulic chamber on the boom raising side of the boom cylinder to the drain tank, whereby the boom is held in the so-called floated state so as to enable a straight excavating operation to be performed merely by actuating the arm and bucket.

  • Patent number: 5365737
    Abstract: Hydraulically-operated equipment such as travelling equipment or working equipment for use in construction machinery such as a power shovel, shoveldozer and bulldozer. The hydraulically-operated equipment comprises a hydraulic driving mechanism actuated by hydraulic pressure, a hydraulic pressure supplying device for supplying hydraulic pressure to a hydraulic pipeline system for the hydraulic driving mechanism and a controller for controlling the hydraulic pressure supplying device such that the supplying rate at which hydraulic pressure is supplied to the hydraulic pipeline system according to the supply of hydraulic pressure is decreased in a specified period after a dead zone period in which hydraulic pressure starts to rise. This arrangement prevents an operational lag in the hydraulic driving mechanism as well as a shock at the time of start-up and shut-down.

  • Patent number: 5359517
    Abstract: An operator's actions for achieving a desired operation of a machine's actuator can be memorized in a teaching mode and the memorized information can be used for automatically reproducing the desired operation in a play back mode, to alleviate the operator's burden. A failure in the play back mode caused by the difference in the conditions under which the play back mode and the teaching mode are conducted can be eliminated, and the operation can be allowed to be continued in the manual mode even if a failure occurs in an automated operation control system. In order to achieve these, when a correction operation by the operator is detected in the play back mode, the play back mode is interrupted and the correction operation is processed with priority to the play back operation.

  • Patent number: 5274557
    Abstract: A teaching and playback method for a work machine that is applicable to construction equipment such as a hydraulic excavator to automatize operation. Data on the operator's operation of work machine actuators is stored, and the stored data is reproduced so that the same operation as that by the operator is automatically performed. The method is adapted to effect exactly the same operation as what has been taught even when, during playback, the load on the actuators has varied from the level applied during the teaching. For this purpose, the pump discharge amount and the amounts of flow supplied to the actuators which are present during the teaching are stored. During playback, when the load has varied, and the pump discharge has changed, the engine output is controlled in such a manner that the actual pump discharge becomes equal to the amount stored during the teaching.

  • Patent number: 5197860
    Abstract: A hydraulic apparatus for a construction machine, which is adapted to prevent the number of revolutions of an engine from increasing when the flow of the fluid discharged by a variable displacement hydraulic pump driven by the engine is cut off. The hydraulic apparatus comprises a proportional solenoid (11) connected to a fuel supply control lever (13) so as to vary the horsepower characteristics of the engine, which are set by the action of a governor (12) based on manipulated variable of the fuel supply control lever (13) when the flow of the fluid discharged by said pump is cut off, and a controller (10) for controlling the proportional solenoid (11). In this apparatus, a decrement (.DELTA.Nr) in a target number of revolutions per minute (Nr) of the engine, which can be obtained by subtracting a target number of revolutions per minute (Nrb) of the engine at the desired engine horsepower characteristics (l.sub.
