  • Patent number: 11735145
    Abstract: There is provided a periphery display device for a work machine, which displays a bird's-eye view image around the work machine. A display magnification of a region between a peripheral line having a turning radius of the work machine and an offset peripheral line surrounding the peripheral line is different from a display magnification of a region inside the peripheral line.

  • Publication number: 20220219955
    Abstract: A winch brake device that is used for a work machine and generates a braking force on the basis of a brake manipulation, includes a pressing member that brings braking members into pressure contact with each other to generate the braking force, a first brake cylinder that applies a first pressing force for bringing the braking members into pressure contact with each other to the pressing member, and a second brake cylinder that applies a second pressing force different from the first pressing force to the pressing member. The first brake cylinder and the second brake cylinder are capable of applying the first pressing force or the second pressing force independently of each other.

  • Patent number: 11161723
    Abstract: There is provided a crane winch device allowing a suspended load to freely fall due to a load thereof. The crane winch device includes a winch drum around which a rope for suspending the suspended load is wound, braking brake unit that brakes the winch drum, speed-increasing unit that performs speed-increasing assist of the winch drum in a direction of free fall acceleration when a braking force of the brake unit is smaller than a first threshold, and an adjustment unit that adjusts the first threshold.
