Provided is a cab for a work machine capable of preventing an actuator from being damaged by vibration. A cab body is formed with a doorway. A door is rotatably supported on the cab body. The door opens and closes the doorway. A closed position locking unit locks the door so as to disable it from rotating relative to the cab body. The actuator generates a driving force to unlock the door locked by the closed position locking unit. The actuator is mounted on the cab body and is supported by the cab body.

GEOFENCE BODY HEIGHT LIMIT WITH HOIST PREVENTION

Methods include electronically monitoring sensor or transceiver location information to detect a location of a machine. Responsive to detection of the machine, determining if the machine is located within a first geographic region, and if the machine is located within a first geographic region, electronically sending a command to an actuator that is coupled to the machine to initiate a first response. The first response includes limiting a height of an implement that is coupled to a chassis of the machine. The implement being height-adjustable relative to the chassis by action of the actuator.

EXCAVATOR INCLUDING UPPER SWING BODY HAVING FREE SWING FUNCTION
20200347577 · 2020-11-05 ·

A system for enabling an upper swing body of construction equipment to swing freely. A working device is attached to the upper swing body to lift and move an object. A swing motor is connected to a power unit to swing the upper swing body. A controller is electrically connected to the working device and the swing motor to detect forces applied to the working device, and based on the detected forces, generating a control signal to control the swing motor so that the upper swing body swings freely. The system enables the upper swing body to swing freely to reduce energy consumption while ensuring safety when the upper swing body lifts a load.

EXCAVATOR BOOM MOUNTABLE HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC TOOL INCLUDING A HYDRAULIC MOTOR DRIVEN GENERATOR

An output shaft of a hydraulic motor is enclosed within a sealed housing and coupled to an input shaft of an electric generator using non-contact couplings. Tool electrical components are electrically coupled to the electric generator. A high pressure hydraulic tool circuit includes a hydraulic tool load and the hydraulic motor of the electric power generation assembly coupleable between a hydraulic boom inlet line and a hydraulic boom return line. Both the hydraulic tool load and the hydraulic motor of the electric power generation assembly can be designed to input hydraulic fluid up to the full rated pressure of the tool. The sealed housing of the hydraulic motor of the electric power generation assembly can be designed to retain hydraulic fluid within the interior up to the full rated pressure of the tool so that no case drain or separate low pressure return line for the hydraulic motor is necessary.

Work machine

A hydraulic excavator (1) includes a controller (40) for generating, when the tip of a work implement (1A) is approaching a target surface (60) due to the pilot pressure output from an operating device (45a, 45b, 46a), a control signal for a boom cylinder (5) such that the tip of the work implement moves along the target surface and controlling the work implement (1A) by outputting the generated control signal to the flow control valve (15a) of the boom cylinder (5). The controller calculates the positional information of a finished shape (97) formed by the work implement, based on the topographic information input from a topographic measurement device (96) that measures the topography near the work machine and corrects the control signal based on the positional information of the finished shape such that the finished shape gets closer to the target surface.
