Patent number: 12065805Abstract: A work machine includes a second pilot line that introduces a hydraulic fluid from a pilot hydraulic fluid source to a pilot valve bypassing a first gate lock valve, a second gate lock valve that is disposed on the second pilot line and that is configured to be switched to an open position for allowing the supply of the hydraulic fluid to the pilot valve or a closed position for interrupting the supply of the hydraulic fluid, and a controller that controls the second gate lock valve on the basis of a second remote operation signal transmitted from a remote operation apparatus and that controls the pilot valve according to a first remote operation signal transmitted from the remote operation apparatus. In a state where the first gate lock valve is at a closed position, the second gate lock valve is allowed to be controlled by the controller when stairs are in a retracted state, and is kept at the closed position irrespective of the second remote operation signal when the stairs are in an extended state.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2022Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Teppei Saitoh, Kouji Fujita, Hideaki Itou, Hidefumi Ishimoto, Ryu Narikawa, Tadashi Nishizawa

Patent number: 8016337Abstract: A pick-up style utility vehicle according to the present invention has a front seat, a rear seat, and a cargo bed in this order from front. The cargo bed is changeable between an expanded state in which the cargo bed is expanded forward to a rear riding space in front of the cargo bed and a non-expanded state not occupying the rear riding space. The rear seat forms side panels of the expandable portions of the cargo bed in the expanded state.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2009Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Kawasaki Jukogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kouji Itou, Hideyuki Kato, Kenji Oda, Kousei Hokari, Hirokazu Morita

Publication number: 20110162819Abstract: A heat exchanger includes tubes which are arranged in parallel and through which a fluid for heating air flows. Fins which are joined to the tubes. The tubes and the fins are arranged to form three or more heating parts and at least two bypass passages each of which is provided between adjacent heating parts, through which the air passes without exchanging heat with the thermal fluid. First and second tank parts are arranged at two longitudinal ends of the tubes and extend across the bypass passages and the heating parts. The bypass passages and the heating parts are arranged perpendicular to an air flow direction. The heating heat exchanger is disposed in an air conditioning case down stream from an evaporator. The air conditioning case is separated into two air outlets. Cold air from the bypass passages and hot air from the heating parts are mixed prior to being blown through the air outlets.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2011Publication date: July 7, 2011Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventor: Kouji Itou

Publication number: 20070125521Abstract: A heating heat exchanger includes plural tubes which are arranged in parallel and through which a thermal fluid for heating air flows, and plural fins which are joined to the tubes. The tubes and the fins are arranged to form plural heating parts equal to or more than three in which air is heated, and at least two bypass passages each of which is provided between adjacent heating parts, through which the air passes without exchanging heat with the thermal fluid. Furthermore, first and second tank parts for distributing the thermal fluid to and for collecting the thermal fluid from the tubes are arranged at two longitudinal ends of the tubes and extend to across an area where the bypass passages and the heating parts are provided. In addition, the bypass passages and the heating parts are arranged in an arrangement direction perpendicular to an air flow direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2006Publication date: June 7, 2007Applicant: DENSO CorporationInventor: Kouji Itou

Patent number: 6958009Abstract: A vehicle air conditioner has an air conditioning unit. The unit has a blower unit and an heat exchanger. The unit has a defroster outlet opening and an outside air inlet opening. The unit also has a switching door. The unit has a first passage between the defroster opening and an upstream side of the blower unit, and a second passage between the defroster outlet opening and a downstream side of the heat exchanger. During an inside air suction mode, the outside air inlet opening is closed, and the first passage is opened and the second passage is closed by the switching door. Thus, inside air is sucked through the defroster outlet opening during the inside air suction mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2004Date of Patent: October 25, 2005Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Tomohide Shindou, Kouji Itou
