  • Patent number: 9180884
    Abstract: In a working vehicle, it is possible to achieve a downsizing of an engine by securing an output torque in a low rotating region of the engine without using any supercharger. In the working vehicle having the engine mounted to a travel machine body, a common rail type fuel injection device which injects fuel to the engine, and a continuously variable transmission which shifts power from the engine, a rotating speed N of the engine is limited to two kinds, N#1 and N#2. Further, a change gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission is changed and regulated in such a manner as not to change a vehicle speed of the travel machine body before and after changing the rotation speed N whichever of the two kinds N#1 and N#2 the rotating speed N of the engine is changed to.

  • Patent number: 9079576
    Abstract: In a working vehicle provided with an engine which is mounted to a travel machine body, a common rail type fuel injection device which injects fuel to the engine, a continuously variable transmission which shifts power from the engine, and the exhaust gas purification device which is arranged in an exhaust system of the engine, in the case that an engine operating point Q relating to a rotating speed N and a torque T of the engine is in a low-speed and low-torque side incapable of self-renewing the exhaust gas purification device, the engine operating point Q is changed to a high-speed and low-torque side capable of self-renewing the exhaust gas purification device, and a change gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission is changed and regulated in such a manner that a vehicle speed V of the travel machine body is not changed.

  • Patent number: 8838348
    Abstract: In a working vehicle, there is dissolved a risk that a black smoke is discharged, a knocking is generated and an engine stall is caused, if a lot of load is applied to a rotary tiller during various works while traveling at a low speed. In the working vehicle provided with an engine which is mounted to a travel machine body, a common rail type fuel injection device which injects fuel to the engine, and a continuously variable transmission which shifts power from the engine, an engine driving point Q (Q1?Q2) relating to a rotating speed N and a torque T of the engine is changed in such a manner that the rotation speed come to a high speed side rotating speed N2 dissolving an overload, and a change gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission is modified and regulates in such a manner that a vehicle speed V of the travel machine body does not change in the case that the overload acts on the engine of having a low speed N1 in the rotating speed N.

  • Publication number: 20130173123
    Abstract: In a working vehicle 141, there is dissolved a risk that a black smoke is discharged, a knocking is generated and an engine stall is caused, if a lot of load is applied to a rotary tiller 24 during various works while traveling at a low speed. In the working vehicle 141 provided with an engine 70 which is mounted to a travel machine body 142, a common rail type fuel injection device 117 which injects fuel to the engine 70, and a continuously variable transmission 159 which shifts power from the engine 70, an engine driving point Q (Q1?Q2) relating to a rotating speed N and a torque T of the engine 70 is changed in such a manner that the rotation speed come to a high speed side rotating speed N2 dissolving an overload, and a change gear ratio of the continuously variable transmission 159 is modified and regulates in such a manner that a vehicle speed V of the travel machine body 142 does not change in the case that the overload acts on the engine 70 of having a low speed N1 in the rotating speed N.

  • Patent number: 7117671
    Abstract: A hydraulic stepless transmission comprises a first hydraulic system. Formed in a cylinder block are first and second plunger holes that contain first and second plungers, respectively, a hydraulic closed circuit that connects the first and second plunger holes, and distributing valve holes that contain distributing valves, which switch flow direction of hydraulic fluid in the circuit. A shaft and cylinder block synchronously rotate, with the first and second plunger holes formed in parallel to the shaft, respectively, and the swash plate of the second hydraulic system is rotatably supported around the shaft. The first and second plungers are urged toward the swash plates by springs provided in the corresponding first and second plunger holes, respectively.

  • Patent number: 7093434
    Abstract: A hydraulic continuously variable transmission has a variable displacement type first hydraulic system having a first plunger and a plunger abutting section which actuates the first plunger, and a second hydraulic system having a second plunger and provided with an output rotary section which rotates with abutment on the second plunger. A cylinder block rotates about an axis and has a first plunger hole and a second plunger hole which respectively retain the first and second plungers. A hydraulic closing circuit connects the first and second plunger holes and circulates a working oil between the first and second plunger holes. The continuously variable transmission has a distributing valve for controlling circulation of the working oil in the hydraulic closing circuit, a valve hole, formed in the cylinder block, for retaining the distributing valve, and a shaft which penetrates the cylinder block.
