Patent number: 9481976Abstract: A work vehicle includes a boom, an arm, a bucket, an arm control member, a speed limit determination portion, and a target speed determination portion. The speed limit determination portion determines a speed limit for limiting a speed of a cutting edge of the bucket in accordance with a distance between a cutting edge and a design surface. The target speed determination portion determines a target speed of the boom based on the speed limit. The speed limit determination portion decides on a speed limit calculated based on correlation between the speed limit and the distance between the design surface and the cutting edge when an amount of operation of the arm control member is equal to or greater than a prescribed amount and decides on a speed limit lower than the speed limit calculated based on the correlation when the amount of operation is smaller than the prescribed amount.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2014Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: KOMATSU LTD.Inventors: Yoshiki Kami, Takeo Yamada, Yuto Fujii, Takeshi Takaura

Patent number: 9476180Abstract: There is provided a hydraulic excavator in which occurrence of minute vibrations in a control lever can be suppressed. A boom-raising proportional solenoid valve is provided in a boom-raising pilot conduit. A boom-lowering proportional solenoid valve is provided in a boom-lowering pilot conduit. A controller controls an opening degree of the boom-lowering proportional solenoid valve based on a pressure generated in the boom-lowering pilot conduit between the control lever and the boom-lowering proportional solenoid valve, and controls an opening degree of the boom-raising proportional solenoid valve. An amount of increase in current per unit time when the controller outputs, to the boom-lowering proportional solenoid valve, an instruction signal for instructing an increase in opening degree is smaller than an amount of increase in current per unit time when the controller outputs, to the boom-raising proportional solenoid valve, an instruction signal for instructing an increase in opening degree.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2013Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: KOMATSU LTD.Inventor: Takeshi Takaura
