  • Publication number: 20240069478
    Abstract: A sheet type discrimination device includes: a first light source unit that irradiates a sheet with light having a first wavelength and light having a second wavelength; a detection unit that detects light from the sheet and acquires a detection value based on the light; and a control unit that derives a determination result of a type of the sheet, wherein the first light source unit and the detection unit are located on a same side with respect to the sheet, the detection value includes: a first detection value; and a second detection value, and the control unit discriminates first-type recycled paper by first processing using the first detection value, and discriminates second-type recycled paper different from the first-type recycled paper by second processing using the second detection value.

  • Publication number: 20210324605
    Abstract: A blade operation control part of a blade control device controls operation of a blade such that when a blade load is equal to or less than a first load threshold value and a position deviation is equal to or greater than a position threshold value, the blade is lowered to make the position deviation approach zero. The blade operation control part controls operation of the blade such that the blade is raised regardless of the position deviation when the blade load is equal to or greater than a second load threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20210254313
    Abstract: In a blade control device, in a case where an update condition set in advance is satisfied, a virtual design surface setting part sets a virtual design surface, using a blade position when the update condition is satisfied as a reference, at an angle equivalent to a vehicle body angle, and a blade operation control part restricts raising and lowering operation of a blade such that the blade conducts the raising and lowering operation above the virtual design surface.

  • Patent number: 10704229
    Abstract: A hydraulic driving apparatus that drives a plurality of driving subjects and regenerates energy thereof. This hydraulic driving apparatus includes: a first pump motor; a second pump motor that is switchable between a state of moving a first driving subject by hydraulic oil discharged from the first pump motor and a state of being operated as a pump by means of energy of the first driving subject; a first pump motor line that couples the first and second pump motors with each other; a first accumulator connected to the first pump motor line; a regeneration subject hydraulic actuator that moves a second driving subject; a second accumulator that receives hydraulic oil from the regeneration subject hydraulic actuator; a second pump motor line that couples the second accumulator with the first pump motor; and a pressure release changeover valve that opens/closes the second pump motor line.
