Patent number: 11318861Abstract: A coolant system for an electric vehicle having first and second heat generating components includes a fluid circuit that circulates a coolant therethrough and a coolant assembly. The coolant assembly decreases the temperature of a portion of the coolant to a first temperature and supplies the portion of coolant to the first heat generating component via a first supply branch of the fluid circuit, and decreases the temperature of a remaining portion of the coolant to a second temperature and supplies the remaining portion of coolant to the second heat generating component via a second supply branch of the fluid circuit. The system includes a first pump unit, arranged downstream of the coolant assembly in the first supply branch, that directs the portion of coolant to the first heat generating component, and a second pump unit that directs the remaining portion of coolant to the second heat generating component.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2017Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Volvo Construction Equipment ABInventors: Joakim Unnebäck, Erik Carldén

Publication number: 20190217765Abstract: A working machine includes a receptacle portion for accommodating load. The working machine is adapted to have a load receiving condition in which the receptacle portion includes an open load receiving area outwardly delimited by a load receiving area circumference. The working machine extends in at least a vertical direction and the working machine includes a circumference projection being a projection of the load receiving area circumference in the vertical direction onto a ground on which the working machine is located. The working machine is such that it, in the load receiving condition, can assume a position relative to a second working machine of the same type in which position the circumference projections of the two working machines at least partially overlap.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2016Publication date: July 18, 2019Inventor: Joakim UNNEBÄCK

Patent number: 9308936Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a working machine that includes a front section having a frame and a pair of wheels arranged on a geometrical front wheel axis, and a rear section having a frame and a pair of wheels arranged on a first geometrical rear wheel axis and a pair of wheels arranged on a second geometrical rear wheel axis arranged behind the first rear wheel axis. The front section and the rear section are pivotally connected to each other for pivoting about a substantially vertical pivot axis. In a first control mode the wheels of the second geometrical rear wheel axis are steered to substantially follow the same tracks as the wheels of the geometrical front wheel axis when driving the working machine during cornering, and in a second control mode steering the wheels of the second geometrical rear wheel axis follow tracks which are different from the tracks of the wheels of the geometrical front wheel axis.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2011Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Volvo Construction Equipment ABInventors: Reno Filla, Joakim Unneback, Bobbie Frank, Andreas Nordstrand
