A working machine includes a body, a ground engaging propulsion structure supporting the body, a working arm, a control system, and a collision avoidance system. The collision avoidance system has a camera configured to monitor an area in its field of view and to generate an output signal to the control system in response to a detected animate object. The control system includes a processor configured to execute a machine learning algorithm trained to determine whether the detected object is an animate object to determine whether an animate object is within the field of view. The system provides an output to alert an operator of the working machine if it is determined that an animate object has been detected in the field of view of the at least one camera.

WORKING MACHINE

A working machine includes a machine body, an operator's seat mounted on the machine body, an exterior cover positioned on a side of the operator's seat, and a handrail positioned with the exterior cover on the same side of the operator's seat and attached to the machine body. The exterior cover is fixed to a fixing unit included in the handrail.

Electric Construction Machine

A cable support device (14) for supporting an intermediate part of a power supply cable (13) is provided with a cable stand (16) attached to an upper revolving structure (3), an arm member (19) that is rotatably attached to the cable stand (16) to grip the power supply cable (13) on the tip end side and, and a locking mechanism (25) that is removably disposed in the cable stand (16) and in the arm member (19) to prohibit rotation of the arm member (19) relative to the cable stand (16). Thereby, the rotation of the arm member (19) relative to the cable stand (16) is prohibited by the locking mechanism (25), making it possible to prevent the power feeding cable (13) retained in the arm member (19) from contacting a cab (6).

Working machine

A debris accumulation control system is provided for usage within a work vehicle including an operator station and a work vehicle compartment. In embodiments, the work vehicle debris accumulation control system includes a display device located in the operator station of the work vehicle, a three dimensional (3D) imaging device having a field of view (FOV) encompassing a debris-gathering region of the work vehicle compartment, and a controller operably coupled to the display device and to the 3D imaging device. The controller is configured to: (i) utilize 3D imaging data provided by the 3D imaging device to estimate a debris accumulation risk level within the work vehicle compartment; and (ii) generate a first visual alert on the display device when the debris accumulation risk level surpasses a first predetermined threshold.

Active baffling for cooling systems

A cooling system includes a first cooler, a second cooler, a fan positioned to drive air through the first cooler and the second cooler, and a baffle system. The baffle system includes a baffle and an actuator. The baffle is positioned to facilitate selectively restricting airflow through at least a portion of the first cooler. The actuator is positioned to facilitate reconfiguring the baffle between (i) a first orientation where the baffle does not restrict the airflow through the portion of the first cooler and (ii) a second orientation where the baffle restricts the airflow through the portion of the first cooler, thereby diverting additional airflow through the second cooler.
