  • Patent number: 10494987
    Abstract: A coolant passage device 3 includes coolant intake pipes 11 and 12 that take in coolant from an engine, a delivery pipe 17 to a radiator communicating with the coolant intake pipes, and a delivery pipe 18 to the heater core branched from a central passage 16 connecting the coolant intake pipes with the delivery pipe to the radiator. A branch port 18a leading to the delivery pipe 18 to the heater core is opened in an upper portion in the central passage 16 in a state where the coolant passage device 3 is mounted to the engine, and the branch port 18a has a wall surface 21 surrounding the branch port and hanging down into the central passage 16. The wall surface 21 prevents bubbles contained in the coolant from entering the branch port 18a. And the coolant passage device consequently prevents coolant flow noise from occurring.

  • Publication number: 20190047188
    Abstract: A molded resin article and a method of manufacturing a molded resin article that suppresses generation of portions of reduced bonding strength while suppressing separation at the interface between a bond portion (secondary molding resin) on the one hand and a first body and a second body on the other. The molded resin article has a first contact surface formed perpendicular to the main surface of the first body and contacting the second body, a second contact surface formed perpendicular to the main surface of the second body and contacting the first body, and a bond portion bonding together the first body and the second body, formed by injecting molten resin into a resin channel formed by contacting the first contact surface against the second body and contacting the second contact surface against the first body and solidifying the molten resin.

  • Patent number: 9702112
    Abstract: A hydraulic excavator includes a cab and a work implement arranged on one lateral side of the cab. The cab includes an operator's seat, front pillars, a roof portion, first and second guide rails, a front window, a monitor device, a monitor, and a support member. The monitor is supported on a first pillar above the monitor device and has a second display screen larger than a first display screen. The support member supports the monitor so as to be movable between an interference position interfering with a movement region where the front window moves between a closed state and an opened state of an opening, and a non-interference position with no interference. Accordingly, a hydraulic excavator can be obtained in which a large-sized monitor can be arranged on a front side of the cab without interference with a movable front window.

  • Patent number: 7011050
    Abstract: A method for controlling an electronically controlled thermostat provided in a cooling system of an internal combustion engine includes predicting a thermal radiation amount of a radiator when a water temperature of engine cooling water is stabilized at a second set temperature or at a first set temperature without detecting the water temperature not to cause temperature hunting, when the water temperature is controlled from a first set temperature to the second set temperature lower than the first set temperature or from the second set temperature to the first set temperature. The electronically controlled thermostat is controlled in accordance with the predicted thermal radiation amount.
