Patent number: 10494038Abstract: The vibration of a cab deck as well as the mass of a deck supporting member is suppressed. A slewing frame of an upper slewing body includes a front plate connected to a second side plate. A cab deck is disposed on a front side of an engine deck with a gap between the cab deck and the engine deck. A deck supporting member is connected to the second side plate and the cab deck. When viewed along an up-and-down direction, a connection portion of the front plate to be connected to the second side plate is opposed to, in the lateral direction via the second side plate, a connection portion of the deck supporting member to be connected to the second side plate.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2016Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignees: Kobe Steel, Ltd., KOBELCO CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Masashi Irie, Takahiro Shinozaki, Yoshimune Mori, Masashi Kawabata, Kiyotsuna Kuchiki, Tomonori Nakashita, Masaya Nishizawa, Yasumasa Kimura, Eri Watanabe

Patent number: 10053159Abstract: A cabin support deck for supporting a cabin of a construction machine on the underside of the cabin includes a frame member and a mounting portion. The frame member includes a proximal segment at which the frame member is supported, a distal segment, a left side segment, and a right side segment. The distal segment has a first structure having a first lateral dimension. The proximal segment has a second structure having a second lateral dimension which is greater than the first lateral dimension. At least one of the proximal side sections of the left side segment and the right side segment has the second structure, and the other portions of the left side segment and the right side segment have the first structure.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2017Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: KOBELCO CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Keiji Sakai, Tomonori Nakashita, Kiyotsuna Kuchiki

Patent number: 5999872Abstract: A control apparatus for a hydraulic excavator is capable of carrying out precise operations according to various kinds of classifications of works without requiring switching operations by an operator and management according to work records. The apparatus includes a classification of work discriminating section for recognizing a classification of work being carried out by the hydraulic excavator on the basis of data detected by sensors for detecting an operating amount of a lever for a boom and the like; sections for setting an operating mode of hydraulic pumps absorbing horse power and the like, according to the classification of work recognized; a hydraulic pump control section for controlling the hydraulic pumps according to the set operating mode; and an auto acceleration control section for making effective or invalid the auto acceleration control for controlling speed of an engine to a low speed when work stops.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 1997Date of Patent: December 7, 1999Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko ShoInventors: Hideki Kinugawa, Masayuki Komiyama, Naoki Tamura, Atsushi Onishi, Takahiro Kobayashi, Kiyotsuna Kuchiki

Patent number: 5117950Abstract: A hydraulic shock absorber controller for a wheel crane having a suspension provided with hydraulic shock absorbers. The hydraulic shock absorber controller connects a line connected to the active chambers of the hydraulic shock absorbers and a line connected to the inert chambers of the same before the wheel crane starts running to enable the working fluid to flow rapidly from the compressed chamber to the expanding chamber of each hydraulic shock absorber so that the hydraulic shock absorbers are able to function properly for shock absorbing operation while the wheel crane is running.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1991Date of Patent: June 2, 1992Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Kobe Seiko ShoInventors: Takahiro Kobayashi, Kiyotsuna Kuchiki, Yuzi Katayama
