  • Patent number: 5320025
    Abstract: A moving speed regulator for a hydraulically driven work implement capable of automatically controlling the lifting speed of a boom, and regulating the maximum lifting speed thereof in particular during earth and sand scooping operation, and also having for its object to enable the lifting speed of the boom when the boom is lifted to a position near its highest position. This regulator comprises a pilot circuit (10) having a pilot pump (P); a hydraulic circuit for driving a work implement, which includes a work implement operating valve (g) adapted to be actuated by a pilot fluid pressure from a hydraulic pilot valve (i.sub.

  • Patent number: 5184932
    Abstract: A linkage mechanism of a work implement installed in a loading vehicle such as a shovel-loader or the like, which is adapted to vertically move a bucket as held in a horizontal state without operating tilt-cylinder, while preserving the function of the Z-bar linkage in the prior art; in which linkage mechanism, when the distance from a pivotable support point (A) between a bucket (3) and a lift arm (1) to a pivotable support point (B) between the lift arm (1) and a bellcrank (5) is represented by (X) and the distance from the above-mentioned pivotable support point (B) to a pivotable support point (O) between the lift arm (1) and a vehicle body (9) is represented by (Y), they are preset so as to fulfil Y/X=.alpha., and also, first and second triangles (.DELTA.ABC, .DELTA.OBE) formed by the liftarm (1) and the bellcrank (5) on the vehicle body side and on the bucket side, as well as a third triangle (.DELTA.ADC) formed by a tilt rod (6) and the bucket (3) and a fourth triangle (.DELTA.

  • Patent number: 5092153
    Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus which controls a variable delivery motor installed on a hydraulically operated vehicle in such a way that the maximum vehicle speed can be continuously varied without sacrificing the performance of the nonstep variable speed, hydraulically operated vehicle. The apparatus includes a hydraulic pump (1) connected with the variable delivery hydraulic motor (2) by main circuits (24, 25), a cylinder (31) that controls the motor (2), a control pump (3) delivering pilot pressure, and a vehicle speed limiter (122). Higher pressure is produced inside the main circuits. The limiter limits the minimum capacity of the motor (2), depending on the higher pressure and also on the pilot pressure acting on the cylinder (31).
