  • Patent number: 11286638
    Abstract: An avoidance position specification unit specifies an interference avoidance position that is higher than a loading object and has no loading object therebelow. A timing determination unit determines a swing start timing based on a remaining swing angle formed by a straight line that extends from a center of swing to a work equipment and a straight line that extends from the center of swing to an interference avoidance position, and a height of the interference avoidance position. An operation signal output unit outputs an operation signal of the work equipment in a case of not reaching the swing start timing and outputs an operation signal for swinging a swing body at swing speed higher than that when not reaching the swing start timing and an operation signal of the work equipment, in a case of reaching the swing start timing.

  • Publication number: 20210156114
    Abstract: A movement processing unit generates a work equipment operation signal for moving a bucket to a loading point and a swing operation signal related to a target swing speed, based on a command for starting an automatic movement of the bucket. A target speed changing unit changes the target swing speed so that the work equipment does not interfere with the loading target during a swing of a swing body.

  • Publication number: 20210102357
    Abstract: A control device of a loading machine includes an adjustment determination unit and an operation signal output unit. The loading machine includes a swing motor and a swing body. The adjustment determination unit determines whether or not an angle formed by an azimuth direction of a swing body when the swing body stops and a target stop azimuth direction is less than an allowable angle based on an azimuth direction, a swing speed, and the target stop azimuth direction of the swing body during braking of the swing motor. The operation signal output unit outputs a swing control signal for driving the swing motor in a case in which it is determined that the angle formed by the azimuth direction of the swing body when the swing body stops and the target stop azimuth direction is equal to or greater than the allowable angle.

  • Publication number: 20200369260
    Abstract: The hybrid vehicle includes an engine, a motor connected to the engine, and an electronic control unit configured to control the motor to execute motoring to rotate a crankshaft of the engine. The electronic control unit is configured to execute speed-drop offset control when a rotation speed of the engine falls below a first rotation speed that is lower than a self-sustaining rotation speed of the engine while the engine is operated in a self-sustaining manner at the self-sustaining rotation speed.

  • Publication number: 20200263385
    Abstract: A movement processing unit is configured to generate operation signals of a work equipment and a swing body for moving a bucket to a loading point based on a start command of an automatic movement of the bucket. A stop processing unit is configured to brake a swing of the swing body based on a stop command of the automatic movement of the bucket, and is further configured to generate an operation signal for retreating the work equipment when a height of the bucket is lower than the loading point.

  • Publication number: 20200248434
    Abstract: A control device outputs an operation signal of a work equipment and a swing body for moving a work equipment to a loading point when receiving a loading command signal. The control device does not output a dumping operation signal for causing the bucket to dump earth in a case where an azimuth direction in which the swing body faces is within a first region from a starting point azimuth direction to a predetermined reference azimuth direction, the starting point azimuth direction being an azimuth direction in which the swing body faces when the loading command signal is received. The control device outputs the dumping operation signal in a case where the azimuth direction is within a second region from the reference azimuth direction to an end point azimuth direction in which the swing body faces when the work equipment is positioned at the loading point.

  • Publication number: 20200199853
    Abstract: A loaded machine information acquisition unit acquires position information and azimuth direction information of a transport vehicle. An earth removal position-specifying unit specifies an earth removal position for loading a load target onto the transport vehicle, based on the position information and the azimuth direction information. A bucket position-specifying unit specifies a position of a bucket. An operation signal generation unit generates an operation signal for moving the bucket from the specified position to the earth removal position.

  • Patent number: 6840228
    Abstract: The detected values of a common rail pressure that were detected by a pressure sensor are read within crank angle periods ?t which are at least not more than half of a pumping cycle ?T of a supply pump, the values detected within one pumping cycle preceding a reading time (for example, S(1), S(0), . . . S(?4)) are averaged during each of the reading times, and the value thus obtained (for example, Pav(1)) is used as a common rail pressure after averaging processing, which is a representative value or a control value of the actual common rail pressure. The feedback control of common rail pressure is executed by using the values of common rail pressure after averaging processing thus computed by moving averaging. Consequently, the actual common rail pressure is converted into values suitable for control, and the feedback control of common rail pressure is executed with higher accuracy.
