Control system for work vehicle, method and work vehicle
A work vehicle includes a travel device and a work implement. A control system for the work vehicle includes a controller. The controller controls the work implement according to a predetermined target value. The controller determines whether a slip of the travel device has occurred during control of the work implement. The controller changes the target value according to a result of determination of the slip.
PLOW ASSEMBLY WITH VALVE SYSTEM FOR WINGS
A plow system includes a mounting structure configured to mount at a vehicle, with a center plow pivotally attached at the mounting structure. The center plow is pivoted in a first direction responsive to actuation of a first actuator and is pivoted in a second direction responsive to actuation of a second actuator. A first plow wing is pivotally mounted at a first end of the center plow and a second plow wing is pivotally mounted at a second end of the center plow. Responsive to pivoting of the center plow to a first fully pivoted orientation toward a first side of the vehicle, the first and second plow wings both pivot to a forward orientation. Responsive to pivoting of the center plow to a second fully pivoted orientation toward a second side of the vehicle, the first and second plow wings both pivot to a rearward orientation.
BULLDOZER
A first grille member extends from the left side of the vehicular body toward the right side. A second grille member extends from the first grille member further toward the right side. A first pivot shaft is provided at the left side of the vehicular body. The first pivot shaft extends in the top-bottom direction of the vehicular body and pivotably supports the first grille member. A second pivot shaft extends in parallel with the first pivot shaft and couples the second grille member to the first grille member so that the second grille member is pivotable with respect to the first grille member. A fan module is pivotable about a third pivot shaft provided at the left side of the vehicular body and extending in parallel with the first pivot shaft, and at least a part of the fan module is movable to an outside of the vehicular body.
PITCH ADJUSTMENT ASSEMBLY FOR MACHINE-MOUNTED TOOL
An assembly is disclosed for use in adjusting a pitch of a tool relative to a machine. The assembly may have a link with a first end connectable to the tool and a second end connectable to the machine. The assembly may also have a bushing configured to engage a slot in at least one of the machine and the tool. An offset bore may be formed in the bushing. The assembly may also have a pin passing through the offset bore of the bushing and the link. The bushing may be reconfigurable between a plurality of discrete positions within the slot to incrementally adjust the pitch of the tool relative to the machine.
DISPLAY SYSTEM AND DISPLAY METHOD
A display system for a work machine includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire three-dimensional data of a plurality of measurement points, a conversion unit configured to convert the three-dimensional data into a vehicle body coordinate system, an image generation unit configured to generate a reference image representing a three-dimensional shape of a terrain based on the three-dimensional data converted into the vehicle body coordinate system, and a display processing unit configured to display the reference image on a captured image in a superimposed manner. The image generation unit decides a display form of the reference image at a position of the reference image corresponding to each measurement point depending on a distance of the measurement point in a normal direction with respect to a ground surface of the work machine.
IMPLEMENT CONTROL SYSTEM FOR MACHINE
A machine is configured to travel on a ground surface. The machine includes a frame and a support coupled to the frame. The support is configured to be raised or lowered relative to the frame. The machine also includes an implement movably coupled to the support. The implement is configured to engage the ground surface. The machine further includes a control processor configured to move the implement in response to movement of the support.
BLADE SUPPORT FRAME FOR DOZER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a blade support frame for a dozer, which supports a blade, the blade support frame including: a ball joint configured to support the blade so that the blade is rotatable; a front plate coupled to the ball joint; an upper plate disposed on an upper portion of the front plate and coupled to the front plate; a lower plate disposed on a lower portion of the front plate and coupled to the front plate; and an inner diaphragm disposed between the upper plate and the lower plate and configured to support a portion between the upper plate and the lower plate.
Birds-eye-view as cailibration for grade control
A system includes calibrating a grade control system of a work vehicle having a controller operatively connected to a camera. A plurality of cylinders operative to move a blade on the vehicle. The blade includes one or more blade markers. One of the cylinders moves to a predetermined configuration that is between 0% and 100% of maximum stroke length, and the camera takes a corresponding image of the one or more blade markers. The controller measures a corresponding location of the one or more blade markers using the corresponding image and calibrates the grade control system based on the corresponding location of the one or more blade markers. The stored corresponding location can be an initial calibration location or a corresponding calibration location that was previously determined during operating conditions of the work vehicle. The grade control system is calibrated in real-time while the work vehicle is operating or stationary.
CONSTRUCTION MACHINE
This construction machine includes a lower traveling body; an upper swiveling body; and a rotary coupling member that swivels, together with the upper swiveling body, with respect to the lower traveling body. The rotary coupling member has a swivel joint; a rotary joint that includes a slip ring; a cable; a coupling part; and a detent part that is fixed to the body of the swivel joint and that restricts the rotation of a terminal part of the slip ring.
System and method for controlling bulldozer
A controller determines that a signal from an operating device represents either a normal operation to manually control a blade or a trigger operation to automatically control the blade. The controller moves the blade so that the angle of the blade is changed in accordance with the operation of the operating device when the signal from the operating device is determined as representing a normal operation. The controller moves the blade until the angle of the blade reaches a predetermined target angle when the signal from the operating device is determined as representing the trigger operation while the bulldozer is traveling.
