  • Patent number: 11286646
    Abstract: Provided is a loading vehicle in which a control characteristic of traction force can be easily and finely set and changed while a configuration of a hydraulic circuit is simple. An HST traveling driven wheel loader includes an electronically controlled HST pump and HST motor, including a solenoid proportional pressure reducing valve to control displacement volume of the HST pump based on a control signal output from a controller. The controller stores characteristic tables indicating a correlation between discharge pressure of a loading hydraulic pump or an operation state of an engine and a maximum discharge pressure of the HST pump, and when the vehicle speed corresponds to work requiring traction force, outputs a control signal to the solenoid proportional pressure reducing valve so as to obtain the maximum discharge pressure Pm of the HST pump that corresponds to one of the characteristic tables.

    Abstract: A loudspeaker system includes a housing including a first housing portion and a second housing portion that are plate-shaped and face each other, a loudspeaker drive unit fixed to the first housing portion, and a coupling member that is rigid and couples the first housing portion and the second housing portion to each other inside the housing. The coupling member includes a first end that is directly or indirectly coupled to the first housing portion and a second end that is directly or indirectly coupled to the second housing portion. When second force is applied to the coupling member, the second force being smaller than first force that irreversibly deforms or breaks a coupling portion between the coupling member and the first housing portion, the coupling member is irreversibly deformed or broken so as to shorten a distance between the first end and the second end of the coupling member.

  • Patent number: 10979833
    Abstract: An acoustical performance evaluation method includes a reference sound pressure decision step and a deviation calculation step. In the reference sound pressure decision step, frequency response of sound pressure level, obtained by considering only an influence of a first factor of a plurality of factors causing a deterioration in frequency response of sound pressure level of a loudspeaker to be evaluated, are decided as a reference sound pressure. The reference sound pressure is frequency response of sound pressure level of the loudspeaker in the anechoic chamber calculated through a simulation or measured through a measurement experiment. In the deviation calculation step, a deviation between the reference sound pressure and a target sound pressure is calculated as an evaluation index of acoustical performance. The target sound pressure is frequency response of sound pressure level of the loudspeaker in the anechoic chamber calculated through a simulation or measured through a measurement experiment.
