There is disclosed an excavation apparatus (5), such as an underwater excavation apparatus, having means for producing, in use, at least one vortex, spiral or turbulent flow in a laminar flow of fluid, e.g. water. The excavation apparatus (5) comprises a rotor (10) having a rotor rotation axis (A), wherein, in use, flow of fluid passed or across the rotor (10) is at a first angle (α) from the axis of rotation (A). The excavation apparatus (5) comprises the rotor (10) and means or an arrangement for dampening reactive torque on the apparatus (5) caused by rotation of the rotor (10), in use. The turbulent flow is provided within, such as within a (transverse) cross-section, of the laminar flow.

A system configured to couple an implement to a work vehicle includes a first lock assembly coupled to an arm of the work vehicle, and the first lock assembly includes a first lock, a second lock, and a first actuator configured to drive the first lock and the second lock laterally outwardly to engage respective first openings formed in the implement. The system also includes a second lock assembly coupled to a frame of the work vehicle, and the second lock assembly includes a third lock, a fourth lock, and a second actuator configured to drive the third lock and the fourth lock laterally outwardly to engage respective second openings formed in the implement.

An articulation joint for a machine includes a first frame portion, a second frame portion, a hinge pin, a bearing member, a bushing member, and a washer assembly. The washer assembly includes a thrush washer and a housing. The thrust washer includes a plurality of washer segments. Each of the plurality of washer segments is adapted to be disposed co-planar and adjacent with respect to one another. The plurality of washer segments defines a central space adapted to receive the hinge pin therethrough. The housing includes a plurality of housing segments. Each of the plurality of housing segments is adapted to be disposed co-planar and adjacent with respect to one another. The plurality of housing segments defines an internal space adapted to enclose each of the washer segments therein.

A construction machine includes an upper frame, a machine room structure that is disposed on the upper frame and defines a machine room, a hood that has a box shape, has a lower surface, and is connected to the machine room structure so as to be disposed above the machine room, the lower surface including a hood opening communicating with the machine room, and at least one reinforcement plate that is interposed between the machine room structure and the hood to reinforce connection between the machine room structure and the hood. An outer end portion of the reinforcement plate extends further outward in a left-right direction than the beam member of the machine room structure.

To provide a work machine in which a filter can be manufactured at low costs and can be fitted into various shapes. A work machine comprises a cover member configured to partition a machine room in which at least a part of a cooling core is housed. The work machine comprises an opening part formed in the cover member, and configured to take-in an air for cooling the cooling core into the machine room. The work machine comprises a plain-woven wire mesh welded and attached to a position from the opening part to the cooling core, and configured to form a filter that prevents inclusion of dust into the machine room from the opening part.

An actuated shear pin includes an actuator and pin body coupled to the actuator. The actuator selectively configures the pin body in a locking configuration or a stowed configuration. In the locking configuration, the pin body is placed in a travel path of two components configured to move relative to each other, to inhibit such relative movement. In the stowed configuration, the pin body is out of the travel path, thereby allowing the two components to move relative to each other.

A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body, a covering attached on the upper turning body, and a camera for surroundings monitoring placed on the upper turning body. A cut is formed in the covering. The camera is placed on the upper turning body such that at least part of the camera is within the covering through the cut.

A pin for a coupler assembly for rotatably coupling a beam of a circle assembly of a grader machine with a bracket of a moldboard assembly of the grader machine includes a body defining a head portion and a shank portion. The shank portion integrally extends from the head portion. The head portion is adapted to be seated over one or more of the beam and the bracket. The shank portion is adapted to pass through the beam and the bracket to rotatably couple the beam and the bracket about the shank portion. A grease gallery is defined through the head portion, extending into the shank portion. The body defines multiple grease passages branching out from the grease gallery up to corresponding sections of an outer surface of the shank portion where the beam and the bracket are correspondingly adapted to lie in rotatable registration with the shank portion.
