  • Publication number: 20240155795
    Abstract: Provided is a heat-dissipating waterproof structure having both excellent heat dissipation ability and high waterproofness. A heat-dissipating waterproof structure (300) provided between a top part (203) of a casing (200) to accommodate a heat source (102) and the heat source (102) includes a water receiving part (301) that guides a liquid having entered into the casing (200) through an outlet (203A) provided in the top part (203) of the casing (200), and a water guide channel (302) that guides the liquid having been guided by the water receiving part (301) to be discharged to outside of a space where the heat source (102) is accommodated, and the water receiving part (301) has at least a sloping surface which gradually becomes higher the further it is from being immediately above the heat source (102).

  • Patent number: 11920325
    Abstract: A construction machine is provided that can cause each hydraulic actuator to accurately operate according to operation by an operator in combined operation in which a hydraulic fluid of a hydraulic pump is subjected to flow dividing and is supplied to plural hydraulic actuators. A controller 10, in a case of determining that combined operation is being carried out, controls a regulator 7a in such a manner that the delivery flow rate of a hydraulic pump 7 becomes larger than the total target flow rate of plural hydraulic actuators 4a, 5a, and 6a, and controls the respective opening amounts of plural directional control valves 8a1, 8a3, and 8a5 in such a manner that the difference between the respective target flow rates of the plural hydraulic actuators and the respective inflow flow rates of the plural hydraulic actuators sensed by velocity sensors 12 to 14 becomes small.

  • Patent number: 5708319
    Abstract: A multiple axes drive apparatus having a plurality of electrostatic actuators for applying driving forces in a plurality of different directions within a plane to a driven member. Each electrostatic actuator of the drive apparatus includes a first member that has a plurality of first electrode strips arranged in a single direction with a predetermined pitch, and a second member that has a plurality of second electrode strips arranged in the same direction as the first electrode strips with the same pitch. The members are located opposite to each other so one of the members moves along the single direction in response to a Coulomb force generated between the electrode strips when voltage is applied to the electrode strips.
