  • Patent number: 12680611
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission to output power, an electric motor to perform shifting, a linkage mechanism to link a shifting shaft of the electric motor with a trunnion shaft of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission the linkage mechanism, including a first linkage section linked with the shifting shaft, and a second linkage section linked with the trunnion shaft, and a biasing mechanism to press and bias a second gear of the second linkage section that meshes with a first gear of the first linkage section against the first gear such that a tooth flank of the second gear abuts with a tooth flank of the first gear in a rotation direction reverse to a rotation direction of the first gear.

  • Publication number: 20250251039
    Abstract: A working vehicle includes a main shift lever to perform a shift operation, and a switching mechanism operable by the main shift lever to switch between a stepped shift operation state in which the main shift lever is shiftable stepwise and a continuously variable shift operation state in which the main shift lever is shiftable steplessly. The switching mechanism includes a support portion provided in a vehicle body and including grooves corresponding to shift positions of the main shift lever, and an engaging portion movable relative to the main shift lever. The main shift lever is configured to switch the engaging portion between a position where the engaging portion is engageable with the grooves and a position where the engaging portion is not engageable with the grooves.

  • Publication number: 20250243591
    Abstract: A water electrolysis system capable of suppressing a decrease in durability of a water electrolysis cell by ensuring cooling of a water electrolysis cell is provided. In a water electrolysis system for obtaining hydrogen from a hydrogen electrode by supplying water to an oxygen electrode of a water electrolysis cell and applying a voltage to the water electrolysis cell, a cooling fluid path for supplying a cooling fluid different from that supplied to an oxygen electrode is provided to the water electrolysis cell by a flow path different from a flow path for supplying water to an oxygen electrode.

  • Patent number: 11708116
    Abstract: A work vehicle in which deformation of a shield member can be suppressed. The work vehicle includes: a hood that can be opened and closed; a lower shield portion that is fixed to an inside of the hood; and an upper shield portion that is fixed to an inner peripheral face of the hood and, when the hood is closed, comes in contact with the lower shield portion to partition an inner space of the hood together with the lower shield portion.
