  • Patent number: 11486105
    Abstract: A hydraulic driving device of a suction car includes a HST circuit, a suction actuator, a supply channel and a switching valve. In the HST circuit, a first connection channel and a second connection channel connect between a traveling drive pump and a traveling motor in a closed circuit. The suction actuator suction drives a suction device by being actuated by a hydraulic pressure. The switching valve allows oil discharged from the traveling drive pump to the first connection channel to be supplied to the traveling motor in a first operation state. The switching valve allows oil discharged from the traveling drive pump to the first connection channel to flow into the supply channel and be supplied to the suction actuator in a second operation state.

  • Patent number: 5730305
    Abstract: A crane safety apparatus for displaying a schematic diagram of a part of a crane mechanism on a two-dimensional screen dynamically as the crane mechanism is operated, and displaying on the same screen a predetermined operation zone as a visually discriminative zone pattern. The operation zone pattern is displayed on the screen in response to the key command by an operator during a selected crane operation mode, while referring to the schematic crane mechanism diagram currently displayed on the screen.

  • Patent number: 5645181
    Abstract: Rope extension is detected as a rope shift distance at predetermined time intervals. A rope extension amount is obtained as the accumulated value of the shift distances. The rope shift accumulated value is automatically reset to 0 when a hook structure reaches an overhoist position to renew the reference position of the rope extension amount and to correct any measurement errors of the rope extension amount. From this rope extension amount, a hanging length of the hook structure from a boom or jib top is obtained and used to calculate a hook lifting distance. The calculated hook lifting distance, or hook structure position, is displayed on a display screen relative to a fixed index or pattern. An operator can monitor the state of the hook structure from the display.
