  • Publication number: 20230287824
    Abstract: A control device is configured to estimate a soot deposition amount (PM deposition amount) in a DPF for an exhaust purification device that is configured to purify exhaust of a diesel engine using the DPF, and determine a regeneration timing for the diesel engine based on the estimated PM deposition amount. As a technique of determining the regeneration timing, the control device employs a first determination technique of detecting that the PM deposition amount is a first threshold or more and a state in which the PM deposition amount is the first threshold or more has continued for a first predetermined time and a second determination technique of detecting that the PM deposition amount is a second threshold (>the first threshold) or more and a state in which the PM deposition amount is the second threshold or more has continued for a second predetermined time.

  • Publication number: 20230286525
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes a monitoring device which monitors the surroundings of the work vehicle; an alarm device which outputs an alarm on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring device; a posture detection unit which detects whether an operator sits on an operation seat of the work vehicle and is in an operation posture for operating the work vehicle; and a control unit which controls the alarm device on the basis of the result of detection by the posture detection unit. Based on detection by the posture detection unit that the operator is in the operation posture, the control unit causes the alarm device to output an alarm based on the monitoring result of the monitoring device, and based on detection by the posture detection unit that the operation posture of the operator is released, the control unit causes the alarm device to stop outputting the alarm based on the monitoring result of the monitoring device.

  • Publication number: 20230279645
    Abstract: A work machine control system includes: an acquisition processing unit; a determination processing unit; and an alarm processing unit. The acquisition processing unit acquires a detection result of an object around a machine body of a work machine. The determination processing unit determines whether the work machine is operable or inoperable. The alarm processing unit outputs an alarm. The alarm processing unit prohibits the alarm's outputting when it is determined, after the first situation, that the work machine is operable. Further, the alarm processing unit outputs the alarm under the first situation, and continues the alarm's outputting when it is determined, after the first situation, that the work machine is operable. The first situation is defined as a situation in which the work machine is determined to be inoperable, and in which the detection result meets a given condition.

  • Publication number: 20230280474
    Abstract: A first positioning processing unit executes independent positioning for calculating the position of a work vehicle on the basis of a satellite signal received from a satellite. A transmission processing unit transmits point positioning information to a base station server that selects one base station. An acquisition processing unit acquires correction information associated with the one base station from the base station server. A second positioning processing unit executes RTK positioning for calculating the current position of the work vehicle on the basis of the correction information. When the RTK positioning for the work vehicle based on first correction information associated with a first base station becomes possible, the transmission processing unit transmits, to the base station server, the point positioning information immediately before the RTK positioning becomes possible.

  • Patent number: 11739684
    Abstract: An engine including an exhaust bypass valve and an intake bypass valve. The exhaust bypass valve is disposed in an exhaust bypass channel connecting an outlet of an exhaust manifold and an exhaust outlet of a turbocharger to each other. The intake bypass valve is disposed in an intake bypass channel connecting an inlet of an intake manifold and an inlet of the turbocharger. An intake pressure sensor detects a pressure of the intake manifold. If an instruction value indicating an upper limit or a lower limit of the valve opening degree of the intake bypass valve is continuously output for a predetermined time or more, an engine control device determines that an abnormality occurs in at least one of the exhaust bypass valve and the intake bypass valve.
