Patent number: 9475484Abstract: A vehicle status is judged with respect to whether the following conditions are met: the shift position of a shift lever 4 is F or R (condition 1); the brakes are inactive (condition 2); the vehicle stands still (condition 3); the accelerator pedal is depressed equal to or less than ? (condition 4); and the rotational speed of the engine is equal to or less than a medium rotational speed (condition 5). The engine is controlled such that the rotational speed is set to a minimum if conditions 1, 2, and 4 are met and condition 3 is not met or if condition 1 is met and condition 2 is not met; and the rotational speed is set to the medium rotational speed if conditions 1, 2, 3, and 5 are met or if conditions 1, 2, and 5 are met and conditions 3 and 4 are not met.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2014Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: HITACHI CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Michio Fushiki, Naokazu Oda, Katsuhiko Shimizu

Patent number: 9415678Abstract: Provided is a haulage vehicle having an air cleaner that is realistic from the viewpoints of fabrication steps and cost aspect. An air cleaner (24) arranged in a haulage vehicle is provided with a swirling flow generator (26), a separator (27) and an outer cylindrical casing (25). The swirling flow generator has a fixed shaft (28) and a plurality of guide blades (29) arranged and shifted from one another over a predetermined angle in a direction in which the guide blades rotate about the fixed shaft, and by the plurality of guide blades, a swirling flow of cooling air is generated. The separator has a flange (32) attached on and along an inner peripheral wall of the outer cylindrical casing (25), an inner cylindrical member (30) arranged on an outer edge of a center bore of the flange, and a collection pocket (31).Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2012Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tsuyoshi Oue, Naokazu Oda
