Semi-active cab suspension assembly method
A method for assembling an agricultural vehicle including the initial step of providing the agricultural vehicle including a frame, a hydraulic manifold, and a cab suspension system. The cab suspension system includes an anti-roll bar, a pair of support brackets configured for securing the anti-roll bar to the frame, and a pair of intermediary placement brackets configured for temporarily supporting the anti-roll bar in a final assembly position. The method includes the further steps of attaching the intermediary placement brackets onto the frame, positioning the anti-roll bar on the intermediary placement brackets to position the anti-roll bar in the final assembly position, assembling the hydraulic manifold onto the frame, and connecting the support brackets to the frame and the anti-roll bar.
Vibration- damping support device
A vibration-damping support device including: an inner shaft member to be attached to a first connection target; upper and lower mount rubbers externally fitted onto the inner shaft member; and upper and lower restraining members bonded to the upper and lower mount rubbers respectively and configured to be superposed against the second connection target. The upper and lower restraining members are configured to project to a peripherally inside of an opening edge of a mounting hole of the second connection target so that the upper and lower restraining members overlap with each other as viewed in axial direction there. The lower mount rubber includes a slot extending annularly on its outer periphery and an inner peripheral convex part projecting inward from an inside of the slot so as to have a curved shape that is convex inward at the inside of the slot.
SUSPENSION SYSTEM FOR A CABIN OF A MINING VEHICLE
A suspension system for a cabin of a mining vehicle. The suspension system comprises a plurality suspension units to support the cabin with respect to the mining vehicle. At least two of the suspension units are pivot suspension units, and each pivot suspension unit is pivotably mountable to the cabin and is fixedly mountable to the mining vehicle. The cabin is pivotable relative to the mining vehicle about a common pivot axis defined by the pivot suspension units. Each pivot suspension unit has an attenuation member to attenuate a pivot movement of the cabin relative to the mining vehicle. An underground mining vehicle and a cabin for a mining vehicle are also disclosed.
Vehicle seat or vehicle cab with a suspension system, and utility vehicle
The invention relates to a vehicle seat or a vehicle cab with a suspension system comprising an upper closing part and a lower closing part which is deflectable in relation to the upper closing part, which closing parts are operatively connected to each other in a resilient manner by means of a suspension element, and with a damping system for damping vibrations acting on at least one of the two closing parts, wherein an electromagnetically acting damping and height-levelling unit is provided which is arranged between the two closing parts in such a manner that said damping and height-levelling unit acts on the upper of the two closing parts in the vertical direction of the vehicle both in a vibration-insulating and also height-levelling manner.
FRONT GUARD AND WORKING MACHINE
A working machine includes a machine body an operator seat mounted on the machine body, a front working device swingable upward and downward, the front working device being provided forward of the operator seat and on one side in a machine-width direction eccentric with respect to a central portion of the operator seat, and a front guard provided forward of the operator seat. The front guard includes a first frame member provided forward of the operator seat and on the one side, and a second frame member provided forward of the operator seat and on another side opposite to the one side, the first frame member includes a main rod portion defining upper and lower portions of the first frame member, extending between the upper and lower portions of the first frame member, and provided rearward of the front working device, and the main rod portion is formed to be positioned in a machine fore-and-aft direction closer to the operator seat than the second frame member.
Cabin assembly for construction equipment
A cabin assembly for construction equipment includes a main frame; a mount mounted on the main frame; a cabin fixed to the main frame by the mount while spaced a predetermined distance apart therefrom; a retainer for connecting the cabin to the main frame and fixing the cabin to the main frame such that the cabin is not inclined at a first angle or greater with respect to the main frame; and a support installed on one of the main frame and a lower surface of the cabin, including an end portion facing the other of the main frame and the lower surface of the cabin while being spaced apart therefrom, and when the cabin is inclined at a second angle or greater with respect to the main frame, contacting the other of the main frame and the lower surface of the cabin to support the cabin.
Operator station suspension system
A suspension system for an operator station of a vehicle having a chassis includes a subframe structure positioned between the operator station and the chassis. The subframe structure includes a plurality of mounting pads configured to support the operator station. A plurality of suspension assemblies are connected between the chassis and the subframe structure near each of the mounting pads. A first lateral rod is connected between the subframe structure near one of the mounting pads and the chassis. A first longitudinal rod is connected between the subframe structure near one of the mounting pads and the chassis. A stabilizer bar is connected between the subframe structure at two locations and the chassis. A roll control bar is connected between the subframe structure at two locations and the chassis.
CONTROLLER, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR A VEHICLE WHICH HAS A CHASSIS PART AND A DRIVER CAB PART THAT CAN BE FOUND ON THE CHASSIS PART
A control unit for a vehicle that has a chassis and a driver's cab on the chassis, comprising a first data interface for receiving image data generated by an imaging sensor, a second data interface for receiving vehicle state data generated by a vehicle state sensor, an evaluation unit for evaluating the image data and/or the vehicle state data in order to generate a first control signal on the basis of the evaluation of the image data, which is configured to counteract a relative movement between the chassis and the driver's cab and/or generate a second control signal on the basis of the evaluation of the vehicle state data, which is configured to correct a setting of the imaging sensor, and a signal output unit for outputting the first and/or second control signals.
REAR SUSPENSION MOUNTING ASSEMBLY
The invention relates to a rear suspension mounting assembly adapted to connect a cab to a vehicle chassis. A lower bracket is provided with a first fastener for securing it to a vehicle chassis. An upper bracket is provided with a second fastener for securing it to a cab. First and second connecting means connect the upper bracket to the lower bracket, wherein the first connecting means are adapted to rigidly connect the upper bracket to the lower bracket, the second connecting means are adapted to movably connect the upper bracket to the lower bracket. When the brackets are connected by both connecting means, the upper bracket is rigidly connected to the lower bracket, wherein the first connecting means are dimensioned to break when subjected to a threshold force at which the second connecting means remain intact and allow the upper bracket to move relative to the lower bracket.
Work vehicle
A vehicle includes a dynamic shock absorbing mechanism provided in a cabin. The dynamic shock absorbing mechanism includes a weight support member transversely supported at an upper portion of a cabin frame and extending along a transverse width of a vehicle body; and a weight member supported at a center portion in the vehicle body transverse width direction of the weight support member. The weight support member is an elastic member that has a smaller elastic modulus than an elastic modulus of the cabin frame.
