  • Patent number: 10267020
    Abstract: In a display system in an excavator, a position of an upper boundary line and a position of a lower boundary line are calculated. The upper boundary line indicates a height of a top of a cross section of a display object surface. The lower boundary line indicates a height of a bottom of the cross section of the display object surface. A predetermined reference point of a display range is set based on a positional relationship in an up-and-down direction between the current position of the excavator and the upper boundary line or between the current position of the excavator and the lower boundary line. A guidance picture showing a cross section of the display object surface included in the predetermined display range as seen from a side of the excavator, and the current position of the excavator, is displayed.

The upper boundary line indicates a height of a top of a cross section of a display object surface. The lower boundary line indicates a height of a bottom of the cross section of the display object surface. When the current position of the excavator is between the upper boundary line and the lower boundary line, a predetermined reference point of a display range is set to a predetermined position between the upper and lower boundary lines. When the current position of the excavator is above the upper boundary line, the reference point is set above the predetermined position. When the current position of the excavator is below the lower boundary line, the reference point is set below the predetermined position.

  • Patent number: 8903604
    Abstract: A calculation unit of a hydraulic shovel display system sets a predetermined display range displayed as a guidance picture for land shape data. The guidance picture shows a cross section of a target surface included in a display range as seen from a side of a main vehicle body, and a current position of the hydraulic shovel. The calculation unit calculates a position of a start point nearest the main vehicle body and a position of an end point set apart from the start point by a maximum reach length of the work machine in the cross section of the target surface as seen from the side based on land shape data, work machine data and a current position of the main vehicle body. The calculation unit calculates a predetermined reference point of the display range based on the positions of the start point and the end point.

  • Patent number: 8766113
    Abstract: A sensor mechanism body having a main Roberval mechanism; a sub-Roberval mechanism provided with a second fixed column connected with an electronic balance base, a second movable column supporting the load of an internal weight placed on an engaging section, and two second beams, parallel to each other, and connecting the second movable column to the second fixed column. A first lever rockably supported by a first fulcrum, connected to one end of a first movable column of the main Roberval mechanism, and the other end connected to a second lever. The second lever rockably supported by a second fulcrum, connected to one end of a second movable column of the sub-Roberval mechanism, and the other end connected to an electromagnetic force generating device and the other end of the first lever. The second fixed column is connected to the second lever through a thin-walled connecting.

  • Patent number: 7579811
    Abstract: It is aimed at stably implementing a protection function of a secondary battery mainly under software control and providing a battery pack characterized by a reduced circuit installation area, parts costs, and power consumption. An AD converter outputs a voltage value between a positive electrode and a negative electrode of a secondary battery. Based on the voltage value, a microcontroller determines a state of the secondary battery out of overcharge, normal operation, and over-discharge states. According to the determined state, the microcontroller controls operations of a discharge current cutoff means and a charge current cutoff means via a FET driver. When it is determined that the secondary battery is placed in an overcurrent state based on the charge and discharge current size of the secondary battery, an overcurrent detection circuit enables the discharge current cutoff means to be a cutoff state in preference to control by the microcontroller.
