  • Publication number: 20260055574
    Abstract: Provided is a power feeding unit mounted on a swivel joint, the power feeding unit including: a rotary transformer that is coupled to an upper swing body and a lower traveling body of a work vehicle, respectively; an oscillation circuit that is coupled to the upper swing body, converts electric power into an alternating current, and supplies the alternating current to the rotary transformer; and a smoothing circuit that is coupled to the lower traveling body and converts electric power output from the rotary transformer into a direct current, in which an electrode on a negative side of the smoothing circuit is electrically coupled to a housing of the lower traveling body, and an electrode on a positive side of the smoothing circuit is taken out from a lower portion of the swivel joint via a cable inserted through a pipe provided inside the swivel joint along an axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20170276055
    Abstract: A hydraulic pump/motor includes a rotational shaft rotatably attached inside a casing, a cylinder block configured to rotate together with the rotational shaft, a plurality of pistons, a swash plate, a valve plate, and a rotation detection mechanism. The rotation detection mechanism includes a detection target section having three or more recesses formed on an outer peripheral surface of the cylinder block in a unique arrangement pattern with different arc lengths between the three continuous recesses with respect to one rotational direction of the rotational shaft and being formed so as not to include the unique arrangement pattern with respect to the other rotational direction of the rotational shaft, each of the three or more recesses having a cross section having a same semicircular shape perpendicular to a direction of the rotational shaft; and a rotation sensor arranged in the casing in a state of facing the detection target section.
