  • Patent number: 7272928
    Abstract: To keep one of three hydraulic pumps unaffected by variations in torque of the remaining hydraulic pumps when the three hydraulic pumps are used, displacements of the first and second hydraulic pumps are controlled based on their own delivery pressures P1,P2 and a pressure P3? obtained by reducing through a reducing valve 14 a delivery pressure P3 from the third hydraulic pump, while a displacement of the third hydraulic pump 3 is controlled only by its own delivery pressure P3. The pressure oil delivered from the third hydraulic pump 3, therefore, remains unaffected by variations in delivery flow rates from the first and second hydraulic pumps 1,2, in other words, by variations in their torque consumptions, so that the third hydraulic pump is assured to provide a stable flow rate.

  • Patent number: 5265569
    Abstract: A rotational speed control system for controlling the number of revolutions of an engine through remote control of rotation of a governor lever. This rotational speed control system includes a stepping motor for rotating the governor lever, lever position sensor switches for detecting abutment of the governor lever against stoppers, respectively, a pulse counter, and a controller. The controller is adapted to store a count value of the pulse counter as a renewable reference value when the position sensor switches are turned on, to carry out the rotational speed control of the engine and necessary preadjustments according the reference value.

  • Patent number: 5036817
    Abstract: Disclosed is a remote control system which produces electric signals to be sent to a governor driving device from an operator's cabin for remote control of the governor mechanism. This remote control system essentially includes a detector for detecting the amount of control effected to the governor mechanism, and a control device which operates on detection signals from the detector and operation signals from an operating device in the operator's cabin. The control device is adapted to produce a stop signal to the driving device when the difference in control amount between two cyclic time points becomes smaller than a predetermined value, which is regarded as a limit of operation of the governor mechanism, thereby preventing impairment or damages of the governor mechanism and operating device.

  • Patent number: 4955344
    Abstract: A controller having an up/down switch for changing the rotational speed of a prime mover such as an engine, an actuator such as an electric motor for driving a governor on the basis of the operation of the up/down switch so as to control the rotational speed of the prime mover. A target speed is calculated on the basis of the operation of the up/down switch, and the prime mover speed is controlled by using the calculated value. Another switch is provided to immediately shift the prime mover speed to a speed previously set as desired. This shift switch is used to control the prime mover so that the prime mover rotates at the set speed, and this speed is adjusted by operating the up/down switch.
