A wheel loader 1 as a construction machine comprises a hydraulically driven working device 2 and a controller 5,5A for measuring the weight of a load, wherein the wheel loader 1 includes a changeover switch 121 as a changeover device for switching whether to measure the weight of the load, and in a case where an attitude of the working device 2 satisfies a predetermined load measurement condition, the changeover switch 121 is valid, and pistons 222, 242 are positioned in a first area provided on one end side or in a second area provided on the other end side, the controller 5, 5A limits the command current to be output to lift arm solenoid proportional valves 45 and the bucket solenoid proportional valves 46.

A work machine includes an engine for driving a primary working unit. At least one hydraulically powered auxiliary working unit is powered by a hydraulic pump. The engine and an electric motor both provide power to the hydraulic pump via a planetary gear set which sums the power inputs from the engine and the electric motor. The pump speed of the hydraulic pump is thereby decoupled from the engine speed of the engine.

An adaptive joystick preferably includes a rotatable cylinder bar, an outer base ring, an inner ring and an industrial joystick base. An adaptive controller receives an output from the adaptive joystick and outputs a control signal to a valve solenoid to control a hydraulic cylinder. Angle, depth and pressure sensors are preferably used to monitor a position of the hydraulic cylinder. The sensor outputs are fed into the adaptive controller. An inward wrist curl of the rotatable cylinder bar combined with a forearm pull rearward of the outer base ring are used to cause a digging motion. An outward wrist curl of the rotatable cylinder bar combined with a forearm push forward of the outer base ring are used to cause a dumping motion. A hand movement to the left is associated with swinging the excavator left. A hand movement to the right is associated to swinging the excavator right.

An electric powertrain for a working machine, including: a first electric machine, a second electric machine, a propulsion axle for propulsion of the working machine, a transmission assembly comprising: a first input shaft drivingly connected to the first electric machine, a second input shaft drivingly connected to the second electric machine, a first output shaft drivingly connected to the propulsion axle, the first and the second input shafts being selectively drivingly connectable to the first output shaft, at least one second output shaft for power take-off, to which the second input shaft is drivingly connected, a set of gears including at least two selectable gear ratios for transfer of torque,

wherein at least the first input shaft is drivingly connectable to the first output shaft via the set of gears.

In a state where a slewing stop operation is input, in a first state where a slewing command value is equal to or greater than an actual slewing speed, a drive unit stops outputting a torque command value, and a free-run state occurs. In the first state, a command value calculation unit decreases the slewing command value at a first inclination. Meanwhile, in the state where the slewing stop operation is input, in a second state where the slewing command value is less than the actual slewing speed, the command value calculation unit decreases the slewing command value at a second inclination that is gentler than the first inclination.

A working control device comprises an operation lever for making a boom cylinder (36), an arm cylinder (37) and others work to drive a shovel apparatus (30), and a delivered oil amount control device (a controller (150)). A working oil supply source includes a first electric motor (M1) and a first hydraulic pump (P1). When the operation lever is subjected to a single operation, a number of the motor revolution based on the lever operation is set to control the first electric motor. When the number of motor revolution is less than a necessary minimum number of revolutions, the necessary minimum number is set to control the first electric motor (M1). When the operation lever is subjected to a composite operation, a total number of motor revolutions based on the lever operations is set. When the total number is less than a necessary minimum number of revolutions, the necessary minimum number is set to control the first electric motor (M1).

A shovel according to embodiments of the present invention includes: a lower traveling body; an upper swivel body that is rotatably mounted on the lower traveling body; an attachment that is configured by a boom, an arm, and an end attachment; an engine that is mounted on the upper swivel body; a motor generator that is able to assist the engine; a power storage system that is mounted on the upper swivel body; a swiveling motor that is driven by electric power from the motor generator and the power storage system; temperature detection units; and a control device. The control device switches a control mode in a case where at least one of a temperature relating to the motor generator, a temperature relating to the power storage system, and a temperature relating to the swiveling motor, detected by the temperature detection units, is higher than a predetermined temperature.

A tilt adjustable head attachment assembly for a clamshell style bucket for orienting first and second bucket halves at an angle relative to a length axis extending through an elongated and rigid attachment associated with a piece of power equipment, for supporting and manipulating the bucket. A frame has a three dimensional body, upwardly extending pillar mounts located at upper ends of the body and incorporating support shafts for receiving overlapping hinged locations associated with support arms for each of the first and second clamshell bucket halves.

An impact hammer for breaking a working surface, the hammer including a drive mechanism and a housing with an inner containment surface and a reciprocating hammer weight. A reciprocation cycle of the hammer weight includes an upstroke and a down-stroke, the hammer weight respectively moving upwards and downwards. On the down-stroke the hammer weight impacts a striker pin with a driven end and a working surface impact end. A vacuum chamber in the housing is formed by the containment surface, upper vacuum sealing coupled to the hammer weight and lower vacuum sealing. The hammer weight is driven toward the striker pin by the pressure differential between atmosphere and the vacuum chamber formed on the upstroke. A down-stroke vent permits fluid egress from the vacuum chamber on the down-stroke.
