  • Publication number: 20220107649
    Abstract: A working vehicle includes a vehicle body to travel either by manual steering with a steering wheel or by automatic steering with the steering wheel, a reference registration controller configured or programmed to register a traveling reference line based on a position of the vehicle body caused to travel by the manual steering, a traveling line setter configured or programmed to set, based on the traveling reference line, scheduled traveling lines for traveling using the automatic steering, and an automatic steering controller to control the automatic steering based on the scheduled traveling lines. The traveling line setter is configured or programmed to change an adjacency width between the scheduled traveling lines adjoining each other among the plurality of scheduled traveling lines.

  • Patent number: 11186171
    Abstract: Provided is an operation mechanism of a work vehicle capable of suppressing transmission of vibration from a vehicle body to a cabin. The operation mechanism of a work vehicle includes: a first link portion which is supported by the vehicle body (a center frame, a transmission, and the like); a second link portion which is supported by a cabin placed on the vehicle body; and a third link portion which has flexibility and connects the first link portion and the second link portion so as to be interlockable.

  • Patent number: 10822067
    Abstract: A power system of a ship includes a first power storage device, a second power storage device, and a control system. The first power storage device has an energy density higher than that of the second power storage device. The second power storage device has a power density higher than that of the first power storage device. The control system is configured to: as a power generator application, prioritize discharging the first power storage device over discharging the second power storage device, such that base power is continuously supplied to an onboard electrical load connected to an onboard bus; and as a grid stabilization application, prioritize charging/discharging the second power storage device over charging/discharging the first power storage device to compensate for frequency variation or voltage variation of an onboard power grid.
