  • Publication number: 20250109714
    Abstract: A diagnostic device for an exhaust gas aftertreatment device includes a temperature detection device that detects a filter inlet-side temperature and a filter outlet-side temperature, a differential pressure detection device that detects a differential pressure between a filter inlet-side pressure and a filter outlet-side pressure, an intake air pressure detection device that detects an intake air pressure of an engine, and a controller that determines a malfunction in an exhaust gas aftertreatment device based on values detected by the temperature detection device, the differential pressure detection device, and the intake air pressure detection device.

  • Patent number: 11066811
    Abstract: A vehicle-side control unit determines whether a long distance communication mechanism is available or not, when determining that the long distance communication mechanism is available, controls a first vehicle-side communication unit to transmit operation data via the long distance communication mechanism, and when determining that the long distance communication means is not available, causes a vehicle-side storage unit to store the operation data, and further determines whether a transmission start command is received from a tablet or not, and when determining that the transmission start command is received, controls a second vehicle-side communication unit to transmit the operation data stored in the vehicle-side storage unit via a short distance communication mechanism.

  • Patent number: 8336305
    Abstract: A hydraulic drive device capable of utilizing return oil effectively while maintaining a driven speed of a hydraulic actuator, as well as a working machine having the hydraulic drive device, are provided. The hydraulic drive device includes a controller. During an external force applying period in which a return oil pressure exceeds a discharge pressure from a hydraulic pump, the controller specifies a regenerating flow rate capable of being conducted to a regeneration oil passage and a surplus flow rate other than the regenerating flow rate on the basis of power required of the hydraulic pump out of return oil other than return oil which is conduced to a tank through a control valve, then conducts the return oil of the regenerating flow rate to the regeneration oil passage and controls an MO valve and a regulator so that the return oil of the surplus flow rate is conducted to an outlet oil passage.

  • Patent number: 7849685
    Abstract: A control device includes an arm cylinder having a cylinder body and a piston that slides inside the cylinder body and a pump that supplies working oil to the arm cylinder, and decelerates the piston when it approaches a stroke end of the arm cylinder by adjusting a supply rate of the working oil supplied from the pump to the arm cylinder and a discharge rate of the working oil discharged from the arm cylinder. The position at which the piston starts decelerating is set further from the stroke end as the moving speed of the piston becomes higher.

  • Patent number: 5967758
    Abstract: A controlling device ensures an accurate control of the rotational speed of an engine. When a hydraulic working machine is in a suspended state, the rotational speed of the engine can be changed from a designated rotational speed to a low rotational speed without requiring any specific manipulation by the operator. When all control levers 14 to 21 are shifted to their respective neutral positions to suspend the operation, and the shifting speed of the control lever which is lastly shifted to its neutral position is low, a delay time is set to be longer than in the case of high shifting speed. If the control levers 14 to 21 are maintained in their respective neutral positions after the elapse of the delay time, the engine 1 is changed to the low rotational speed mode. When one of control levers is shifted before the elapse of the delay time, the engine 1 is continuously maintained in the designated rotational speed mode.

  • Patent number: 4374346
    Abstract: A power supply control circuit is especially useful for a traveling wave tube, although it may also be used anyplace where desirable. An a-c power voltage is supplied to an input of the control circuit, where its frequency is multiplied to become a voltage having a period which is no greater than the duration of a power voltage fluctuation which might damage the traveling wave tube, unless corrected. The wave form of the multiplied frequency is shaped to provide a comparison voltage wave form, which is compared with a reference voltage. The a-c power voltage applied to said traveling wave tube is controlled responsive to the output of the comparison means.
