  • Publication number: 20200361277
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes a cabin to cover an operator's seat on a traveling body. A cabin frame that constitutes a framework of the cabin includes a pair of left and right front pillars, a pair of left and right rear pillars, a front beam, a rear beam, and side beams. The front beam couples upper end portions of the front pillars to each other. The rear beam couples upper end portions of the rear pillars to each other. Each of the side beams couples to each other upper end portions of each of the front pillars and each of the rear pillars that stand at a front and rear. The rear beam is formed to have a U-shaped cross-section by presswork of a metal plate material.

  • Patent number: 10571874
    Abstract: A control device (100) for controlling a control subject (2), said control device being equipped with: an instruction value generation part (20) that calculates an instruction value from an instruction pattern; a learning control part (30) that repeatedly calculates correction data containing a correction value for correcting the instruction value calculated from the instruction pattern; and a control part (10) that calculates a corrected instruction value from the instruction value and the correction data, and transmits the corrected instruction value to the control subject. The learning control part (30) generates the correction data from a response delay characteristic of the control subject, and the deviation between a feedback value for the corrected instruction value that has been output for the control subject and the instruction value that has been calculated by the instruction value generation part (20).

  • Patent number: 8945650
    Abstract: There are provided a manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus for Baumkuchen for easily and properly suppressing shape distortion of the Baumkuchen caused in a manufacturing process thereof. In manufacturing the Baumkuchen by alternately repeating application of batter around the whole outer circumference of a spit and baking of the applied batter, the batter is scraped off outer circumferences of opposite end portions of the spit before baking only in early stage of manufacturing until the number of repetitions reaches a specified value. As a result, the number of cake layers formed at the opposite end portions of the Baumkuchen is reduced from that at the other portion and outside diameters of the opposite end portions are reduced from a normal outside diameter to thereby suppress partial increase in the outside diameter at the opposite end portions of the Baumkuchen caused by drooping of the batter at the end portions of the spit before baking.

  • Patent number: 8517139
    Abstract: With regard to a tractor having a high-powered engine, universal joints must be enlarged, whereby the attachment work of a power transmission shaft becomes difficult. Furthermore, the kind of the universal joints to be used is limited, thereby being inconvenient. Therefore, a tractor is constructed so that a transmission casing is arranged in a rear portion of a vehicle body, a front axle casing is arranged in the front portion of the vehicle body, and power from an engine is transmitted from an output shaft supported by the transmission casing through a power transmission shaft to an input shaft supported by the front axle casing.

  • Patent number: 7858997
    Abstract: A light emitting apparatus has a light emitting element with an emission wavelength in the range of 360 to 550 nm and a rare-earth element doped oxide nitride phosphor or cerium ion doped lanthanum silicon nitride phosphor. Part of light radiated from the light emitting element is wavelength-converted by the phosphor. The light emitting apparatus radiates white light generated by a mixture of the wavelength-converted light and the other part of light radiated from the light emitting element.

  • Patent number: 7532637
    Abstract: A synchronous controller is formed with a cycle master module and one or more control modules doubly connected through a synchronous bus and an event bus. The event bus is used for transmitting data with a larger volume. The control modules each cyclically carry out execution of a user program for controlling an object apparatus to be controlled. The cycle master module exchanges data with the control modules through the event bus and the synchronous bus. Each of the control modules carries out one cycle of the execution of the user program by using reception of synchronous data transmitted from the cycle master module through the synchronous bus as a trigger.

  • Patent number: 7484579
    Abstract: A crawler tractor comprises steering mechanisms (44) (45) for rotating a machine body by causing right and left crawler belts (9) to move differentially. The tractor is characterized in that the steering mechanism (44) is connected to a drive system located behind a reverser mechanism (21) that moves the machine body forward and back. Even when the machine body movement direction is changed from forward to back, the direction of the steering wheel (18) and the direction of the rotation of the machine body are kept the same, so that a reversed steering phenomenon is prevented from occurring, and an appropriate operation in forward or back movement is enabled with a simple structure that does not require an additional mechanism such as a reverse-steering preventions mechanism.
