Track speed compensation for engine speed droop
A system and method for compensating reduced track speed because of engine droop for a work machine is disclosed. The system may comprise a frame, an attachment coupled to the frame, a ground-engaging mechanism adapted to support the frame, an engine, a motor, a track speed sensor, an engine speed sensor, and a controller. The engine may drive the ground-engaging mechanism and attachment. The engine may be coupled through a variable speed transmission to the ground-engaging mechanism and the attachment. They variable speed transmission may include a hydrostatic circuit. The controller may be adapted to send an increased transmission command signal based on a drop in the engine speed signal when the work machine engages an increased load. The increased transmission command signal may increase a motor speed to cause an increase in track speed to compensate at least a portion of the reduced track speed from the engine speed droop.
FAN STRUCTURE AND WORK VEHICLE
A fan structure is provided with a fan, a fan support, a base, and a motor. The fan is provided with a rotational shaft rotatable about a rotational shaft, and a blade coupled to the rotational shaft to rotate about the rotational axis together with the rotational shaft. The fan support rotatably supports the rotational shaft. The base slidably supports the fan support so as to be slidable in the sliding direction. The motor includes a motor main body supported by a fan support opposite to the rotational shaft of the fan in the axial direction along the rotational axis, and a motor rotational shaft connected to the rotational shaft so as to rotate the rotational shaft.
TANK AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A TANK
A tank includes a tank body made of a thermoplastic resin, a female screw member and a joint that are made of metal, and a seal member. The tank body has a tubular connection port with a through hole, and an inner space communicating with the connection port. The joint has a male screw portion to be screwed into a female screw hole of the female screw member, a boss portion connected to the male screw portion, and a joint through hole passing through the male screw portion and the boss portion. The seal member is provided so as to contact the boss portion and the hole side surface when the male screw portion is screwed into the female screw hole. The boss portion is contactable with a first bearing surface of the female screw member.
Hydraulic shovel
In a hydraulic shovel including a crawler-type lower traveling body and a storage box provided at the front side of the right side of an upper rotating body, the upper face of the crawler has a stable space that can be used as a scaffold for a worker or as a temporary storage space such as a supply tank. The storage box has, at the front side of the right side, a notch that is obliquely cut from the upper side of the inner end in the left-and-right direction of the crawler to the rear side of the left and right outer sides. The notch has, at the lower side thereof, the upper face of the crawler that provides a space S usable as a scaffold for a worker or as a temporary storage space.
WORK VEHICLE MULTI-SPEED DRIVE ASSEMBLY WITH GUIDED DOG CLUTCH
A drive assembly for a work vehicle includes a drive housing, a drive shaft rotatable about a drive axis, an inner hub rotationally fixed to the drive shaft, and a planetary gear set coupled to the drive shaft and configured to selectively rotate an output element. The drive assembly also includes a clutch arrangement having a clutch ring configured to selectively engage the planetary gear set. The clutch arrangement further includes a guide assembly mounted on the clutch ring and configured to selectively interact with the planetary gear set to effect disengagement of the clutch ring from the planetary gear set. A clutch actuation assembly is configured to effect movement of the clutch arrangement along the drive axis to engage the planetary gear set, and a guide actuation assembly is configured to operate the guide assembly to interact with the planetary gear set.
Modular drive system for a machine
A modular drive system may include a motor assembly that includes a motor housing with a motor subassembly bolt pattern. The modular drive system may include a brake assembly that includes a brake housing with a brake subassembly bolt pattern. The modular drive system may include a final drive assembly that includes a final drive flange with a final drive subassembly bolt pattern.
WORK VEHICLE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING WORK VEHICLE
When an inclination angle is greater than or equal to a first threshold, a controller determines a displacement of a hydraulic pump from a command vehicle speed based on second pump data and determines a displacement of a hydraulic motor from the command vehicle speed based on second motor data. The second pump data defines the displacement of the hydraulic pump that is smaller than that of first pump data with respect to the command vehicle speed. The second motor data defines the displacement of the hydraulic motor that is smaller than that of first motor data with respect to the command vehicle speed.
WORK MACHINE
A work machine, more particularly a wheeled loader, having a cab for the operator of the work machine, wherein the work machine has a drive which can be operated with hydrogen and that one or more tanks for receiving hydrogen are provided, wherein components for receiving the tanks are provided, wherein the tank or tanks are arranged below the cab and, when the work machine is viewed from above, next to the cab of the work machine, wherein the components for receiving the tanks do not have a direct mechanical connection to the cab, and that an armor is provided which partially or completely surrounds the tank.
AN ELECTRIC POWERTRAIN AND A WORKING MACHINE
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.
Control system for work vehicle, method, and work vehicle
A work vehicle includes a work implement. A control system for the work vehicle includes a controller that controls the work implement. The controller obtains a first design topography. The controller determines a second design topography. At least a portion of the second design topography is positioned above the first design topography. The controller generates a command signal to operate the work implement in accordance with the second target design topography. The controller changes a tilt angle of the work implement when at least a portion of the second design topography is positioned below the first design topography.
