Publication number: 20140292068Abstract: A crawler belt link includes a center portion, one end portion located on one end side of the center portion, and the other end portion located on the other end side of the center portion. In a second surface, the center portion has a first portion of a rail surface, the one end portion has a second portion of the rail surface, and the other end portion has a third portion of the rail surface. A first outer circumferential portion reaching the second portion of the rail surface is located closer to a second side portion with respect to a bushing hole surrounding portion. Accordingly, a crawler belt link and a crawler belt apparatus can be implemented, by which wear of the rail surface above a bushing hole can be suppressed while maintaining the width of the crawler belt link to be relatively small.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2012Publication date: October 2, 2014Applicant: KOMATSU LTD.Inventors: Kenichi Hisamatsu, Naoaki Kita

Publication number: 20120306916Abstract: A wear amount measuring device includes an image display unit, an image processing unit, and a wear amount computing unit. The image display unit displays a real object image based on real object image data containing a wear amount measurement target and a reference part, and displays a plan image based on design plan data containing the wear amount measurement target and the reference part. The image processing unit executes an image processing of overlapping the real object image and the plan image at an equal scale on a corresponding positional relation when the reference parts are matched. The wear amount computing unit computes a wear amount based on a magnitude of an interval between a measurement contour line drawn along a contour of the wear amount measurement target in the real object image and a plan contour line in the plan image.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2011Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: KOMATSU LTD.Inventors: Shigeto Marumoto, Hideyuki Wakai, Yukihiro Suzaki, Daijirou Itou, Tomoyuki Tsubaki, Kenichi Hisamatsu

Publication number: 20120153715Abstract: A crawler belt and a master link for use in the crawler belt enable easy connection and disconnection of the crawler belt. The crawler belt has a track chain, in which a plurality of regular links are pivotally connected at their ends, the master link for connecting the ends of the track chain to form the crawler belt into a loop, and track shoes attached to the regular links and the master link respectively. The crawler belt has a slit aperture which leads only to a pin insertion hole formed at the other end of the master link and is configured such that a clamping force, generated by tightening a master bolt that imparts a tightening force to the master link to narrow the slit aperture, is allowed to work on only the regular pin inserted into a pin insertion hole leading to the slit aperture.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 22, 2011Publication date: June 21, 2012Inventors: Tomoyuki Tsubaki, Daijirou Itou, Kenichi Hisamatsu, Shigeto Marumoto

Publication number: 20050164624Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, an electronic apparatus includes a housing and an air-blowing unit. The housing has a first wall on which a first ventilation portion is provided, and a second wall on which a second ventilation portion is provided. The second wall intersects the first wall. The housing can be installed in a first state allowing the first wall to face upward or a second state allowing the second wall to face upward. The air-blowing unit can blow air in a first air-blowing direction from a side of the second ventilation portion to a side of the first ventilation portion when the housing is in the first state. The air-blowing unit further blows air in a second air-blowing direction from a side of the first ventilation portion to a side of the second ventilation portion, when the housing is in the second state.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2004Publication date: July 28, 2005Inventor: Kenichi Hisamatsu

Patent number: 6270173Abstract: In a travelling crawler belt in which a pair of left and right links are connected by pins respectively press-fitted into the corresponding links, a fixing end surface of the pin or the links is continuously and locally pressed and deformed in an axial direction of the pin from the fixing end surface, along an inner or outer peripheral portion of an opening of a pin-press-fit hole. Then, a part of the opening peripheral portion of the end of the pin or the link is enlarged or reduced in diameter, so that the diametrically increased or reduced portion is retained and fixed to a mating retaining space. With this fixing method, it is possible to easily and strongly couple the links and the pin, and to obtain a fixing structure of the links and the pin for a crawler belt capable of sufficiently securing a holding force of the pin in the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 1999Date of Patent: August 7, 2001Assignee: Komatsu LimitedInventors: Akira Hashimoto, Teiji Yamamoto, Hiroyuki Nakaishi, Kenichi Hisamatsu, Seiji Miyaura

Patent number: 5242224Abstract: A temperature monitoring unit has a high degree of sensitivity and reliability even when monitoring the temperature of a relatively large rotary heating element. The temperature monitoring unit includes a mirror which is provided in the vicinity of the rotary heating element and is oriented to reflect infrared rays from the heating element in the radial direction thereof, the mirror being reciprocated linearly in the radial direction, a condenser lens provided radially outwardly of the heating element for converging the infrared rays reflected by the mirror, an infrared sensor on which the converged rays impinge, a plate provided between the mirror and the lens and which has a slit therein that is elongate in a direction approximately perpendicular to the surface of the heating element, and an image processor receiving the output of the infrared sensor. The sensitivity is high because infrared rays from around the thermal point of the heating element are blocked by the plate.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 1992Date of Patent: September 7, 1993Assignee: Mitsubishi Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shunsuke Yoshioka, Kenichi Hisamatsu, Keiji Yoshikawa, Shozo Kaneko, Nobuya Watanabe
