  • Publication number: 20240084546
    Abstract: An environment-friendly work machine is provided. A work implement includes a boom supported by a vehicular body frame, an arm coupled to the boom, and an attachment coupled to the arm. A boom foot pin rotatably couples the boom to the vehicular body frame. An arm motor is supported by the vehicular body frame. The arm motor generates drive force that moves the arm relatively to the boom. A motive power transmission apparatus mechanically transmits drive force generated by the arm motor to the arm. An arm gear member and a pivot member carry out rotational motion relative to the vehicular body frame as being concentric with the boom foot pin. An arm link transmits motive power to the arm as a result of the relative rotational motion.

  • Patent number: 8583322
    Abstract: A mobile crusher includes: a crusher that crushes raw material; a discharge conveyor being disposed on a downstream side of the crusher to discharge the material crushed by the crusher; an engine that serves as a driving source at least for the crusher and the discharge conveyer; a fuel injection quantity controlling unit that controls a speed of the engine; a crusher pressure sensor that determines a change in a load of the crushed material in the crusher; and a pressure sensor that determines presence or absence of the crushed material to be discharged on the discharge conveyor. When the crusher pressure sensor determines that the load on the crusher is reduced and the pressure sensor determines that the crushed material is not present on the discharge conveyor, the fuel injection quantity controlling unit lowers the speed of the engine to a decelerated speed.

  • Patent number: 5580004
    Abstract: When objects of crushing are clogged between a bottom plate and a crusher, a locking of the bottom plate that may ensue is automatically released in a self-propelled crushing machine. The machine comprises a feeder hydraulic motor (54) for reciprocating the bottom plate of a hopper and a feeder valve (50) for supplying a first port (54a) and a second port (54b) of the feeder hydraulic motor (54) with a pressurized discharged fluid from a hydraulic pump. The feeder valve (50) takes a first position (B) upon a first solenoid (55) thereof being electrically energized and takes a second position (C) upon a second solenoid (56) thereof being electrically energized. a keep relay (59) electrically energizes the first solenoid (55) and the second solenoid (56) by passing an electric current through each of them, and a first pressure switch (57) and a second pressure switch (58) are turned on when a pressure of the first port (54a) and a pressure of the second port (54b) exceeds a set pressure, respectively.
