  • Publication number: 20210372085
    Abstract: To provide a drift-prevention valve device, a blade device, and a working machine capable of operating an actuated unit and preventing the machine body from drifting with a simple configuration. The drift-prevention valve device is provided with a non-return valve 41 that allows the flow of hydraulic oil from a control valve 28 to a head chamber 34h of a blade cylinder 34 and blocks the flow of the hydraulic oil in the reverse direction; and a piston accommodation part 42 separately disposed from an accommodation part 70 of the non-return valve 41, configured to movably accommodate a power piston 43. The power piston 43 defines a first piston chamber 42p1 communicating with a rod chamber of 34r of the blade cylinder 34 and a second piston chamber 42p2 for drain positioned on a poppet 71 side of the non-return valve 41 and communicating with a tank 52.

  • Publication number: 20210284190
    Abstract: A straddle type vehicle includes a setting unit configured to set a warning line along a boundary between a traveling lane of a self-vehicle and an oncoming lane, a warning unit configured to issue a warning if the self-vehicle has crossed the warning line, a detection unit configured to detect a difficult-to-travel region in the traveling lane, and a determination unit configured to determine whether it is difficult or possible for the self-vehicle to pass between the boundary and the difficult-to-travel region. If it is determined by the determination unit that it is difficult for the self-vehicle to pass, the setting unit changes a position of the warning line to a position shifted from the boundary toward the oncoming lane side.
