  • Publication number: 20220298745
    Abstract: A working machine includes: a machine body; a prime mover that is mounted on the machine body; a fuel cylinder that contains a fuel; a vaporizer that vaporizes the fuel sent from the fuel cylinder and supplies the fuel to the prime mover; a temperature detector that detects a temperature correlating with a decrease in the temperature of the vaporizer; and a controller that imposes restraint on the flow rate of the fuel flowing from the vaporizer to the prime mover when the temperature detected by the temperature detector is lower than or equal to a first temperature.

  • Patent number: 11286645
    Abstract: A hydraulic system includes a first hydraulic actuator, a second hydraulic actuator, a first pump to supply operation fluid to the first hydraulic actuator, a second pump to supply operation fluid to the second hydraulic actuator, a second control valve to control operation fluid to be supplied from the second pump to the second hydraulic actuator, and a first control valve including a main control valve to control operation fluid to be supplied from the first pump to the first hydraulic actuator, and a subordinate control valve configured to control operation fluid to be supplied from the second pump to the second control valve and to the first hydraulic actuator. The operation fluid supplied from the second pump is confluent with operation fluid to be supplied from the first pump to the first pump, in a case of activating both of the first hydraulic actuator and the second hydraulic actuator.

  • Patent number: 8948983
    Abstract: A working machine rendered to change in setting a maximum value of an absorption torque of hydraulic pump to a rather high value when the working machine is in a specified state, solves problems that, when an operation lever is being operated in an intermediate position of a lever stroke, there occurs a swinging in a machine body due to change-over of a maximum absorption torque setting value so that the operation lever is relatively moved with respect to the machine body to exert an influence on operability and the machine body acting violently. When the maximum absorption torque setting value is E2 position which is good fuel efficiency, upon detection of a full operation of either one or both of the travelling operation member and the boom operation member, controlling to automatically switch to E1 position of a maximum absorption torque larger than that of E2 position is performed.
