The construction machine has a data exchange module connectable to the master construction site computer for the exchange of digital data with a master construction site computer, with the data exchange module having reading and/or writing means for reading and/or writing access to the master construction site computer. The construction machine carries out at least individual work steps such as the traveling of a construction element in automated manner using digital data from the master construction site computer. A control module that can be positioned at the load suspension means and/or at the construction element to be traveled and that can be configured as a wearable, in particular in the form of gloves having integrated movement control sensors is provided for the fine positioning.
Working Vehicle
A working vehicle includes an electric storage device; a traction motor configured to propel the working vehicle and to generate electrical energy when braking; a hydraulic system including a hydraulic pump driven by a load motor, a hydraulic actuator and a control valve; and a control system. The control system is configured to determine a state of charge of the electric storage device; induce additional load on the hydraulic system by directing the load motor to drive the hydraulic pump and actuating the control valve to direct flow of hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic actuator when the state of charge is at or above a predetermined threshold.
POWER TRANSMISSION CONTROL METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CRANE AND CRANE
A power transmission control method and device for a crane and the crane includes setting the maximum working displacement of a secondary element corresponding to each gear of the crane; determining the current gear state and specific gear of the crane; determining the working mode of the secondary element from the gear state, and setting the maximum allowable displacement of the secondary element as the maximum working displacement corresponding to the specific gear. In the power transmission control method and device for the crane and the crane of the present invention, the maximum displacement of the secondary element is controlled for various gears, which can reduce power impact. A buffer mode is added to avoid influence on a vehicle due to loss of instant power generated at the moment of energy release completion and avoid vehicle jitter due to instable power resulting from the vehicle at low speed or a system suddenly disconnected.
Work machine, in particular dump truck or truck, having an electric drive
The present invention relates to a work machine, in particular in the form of a dump truck or truck, comprising a traction drive unit and/or main work unit which can be driven by a drive apparatus comprising at least one electric motor. The invention further relates to a method for operating such a work machine, in accordance with the invention, the drive apparatus comprises at least one hydraulic motor supporting the electric motor, the hydraulic motor being switched in for starting the drive apparatus and being decoupled on an exceeding of a predefined speed.
VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL DEVICE FOR INDUSTRIAL VEHICLE
A vehicle speed control device for an industrial vehicle is configured to control a vehicle speed of the industrial vehicle. The vehicle speed control device includes an operation detector that is configured to detect whether an accelerator pedal is being operated and a controller that is configured to control the vehicle speed of the industrial vehicle by controlling the rotation speed of the engine. The controller is configured to derive a vehicle speed limit value that increases during an operated state of the accelerator pedal and decreases during a non-operated state of the accelerator pedal, and set an upper limit value of the vehicle speed to the derived vehicle speed limit value.
Three-power hybrid energy saving system of a rubber tyred gantry crane

PRECISE TRUCK PARKING METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM IN QUAYSIDE CONTAINER CRANE AREA
A method, a device, and a system for parking a truck accurately in a shore crane area are provided. A vehicle controller transmits a parking request for a truck to be parked. A main controller receives the parking request and acquires real-time point cloud data by scanning one or more lanes crossed by a shore crane using one or more LiDARs. The main controller clusters the real-time point cloud data to obtain a set of point clouds for the truck and applies an Iterative Closest Point algorithm to the set of point clouds and a vehicle point cloud model to obtain a real-time distance from the truck to a target parking space. The vehicle controller controls the truck to stop at the target parking space based on the real-time distance.
