A grader blade attachment for a box scraper is disclosed. The box scraper includes a first side wall with a first side bottom edge, a second sidewall with a second sidewall bottom edge, and an open front and a back wall attached to and between the first side wall and the second side wall. The grader blade attachment includes a first side attachment member, a second side attachment member, an elongated blade attachment member, and a grader blade. The first side attachment member is configured to attach to the first side wall. The second side attachment member is configured to attach to the second side wall. The elongated blade attachment member is attached to and between the first side attachment member and the second side attachment. The grader blade is fixedly attached to the blade attachment member and configured to extend across the open front.

A bulldozer according to the present application includes a main frame, and an engine, a hood and an exhaust after-treatment device are provided on the main frame, an air inlet of the exhaust after-treatment device is in communication with an air outlet of a turbine of the engine via a pipeline, and the exhaust after-treatment device is fixed to the hood. In the bulldozer, vibration generated by the engine is transmitted to the main frame through an engine supporting frame or a damping device, and then transmitted from the main frame to the hood, the transmission path of the vibration is long, thus the vibration damping becomes complicated and has a high damping value, and the vibration transmitted to the air cleaner is really small.

A system for moving material from a first work area to a second work area includes a change in terrain sensor, a machine position sensor, and a controller. The controller performs first material moving operations including tip head operations until the void at the second work area is filled to a predetermined extent. The controller performs second material moving operation including backstacking operations until a predetermined amount of material has been moved from the first work area.

The invention is directed to a method of strip mining that involves dividing the pit into blocks in a diamond shape arrangement with an angular advancing strike face and removing waste material from each diagonally adjacent block so as to minimize the amount of waste material pushed by dozers and maintain the incline of ramps to gradients of 10% or less so that trucks can take mined ore from the pit.

A construction machine includes an earth removing implement 20 including: a blade 22 disposed on a base portion frame 21 by using a linkage mechanism 23 and a cylinder 24; a fixed cover 26 positioned above the linkage mechanism 23; a movable cover 27 covering a gap between the fixed cover 26 and the blade 22; and a guide pin 25 that guides the movable cover 27 while the blade 22 is being raised. The movable cover 27 includes a side surface portion 52 having a slot 54 with which the guide pin 25 engages. The slot 54 is formed along the side surface portion 52 that faces the guide pin 25. The guide pin 25 engages with the slot 54 at a lower end position therein when the blade 22 is raised to a highest position as the movable cover 27 is rotated to follow the fixed cover 26.

In a motor grader, a total drawbar position may be determined based on signals from various sensors on a drawbar-circle-moldboard (DCM) assembly. The sensors can include rotational sensors for one or both lift arm angles, and one or both yoke primary angles in combination with sensors detecting lengths of the lift cylinders. The sensor information may be used to calculate roll, pitch and yaw angles of the drawbar relative to a frame of the motor grader.

The present disclosure relates to a grader and a blade control method. The grader includes: a blade mechanism including a blade; a blade adjusting mechanism including a plurality of adjusting means respectively corresponding to at least two degrees of freedom of the blade, and configured to adjust a spatial position and/or angle of the blade; a blade position detecting mechanism configured to detect a slope parameter for characterizing a spatial position of the blade; a motion trajectory library configured to store motion functions of the plurality of adjusting means respectively when different operation conditions and/or different grades are switched; a controller configured to call a corresponding motion function in the motion trajectory library according to a set operation condition and a required slope, and control at least one of the plurality of adjusting means according to a position parameter of the blade and the motion function.
