Stability control for hydraulic work machine
A work machine includes a mechanical arm. A work implement is coupled to the mechanical arm to receive a load. A hydraulic actuator moves the arm between a lower position and an upper position, wherein a distance between the lower position and the upper position is a travel distance of the mechanical arm. A sensor unit is configured to sense the load in the work implement. A valve is in fluid communication with the hydraulic actuator for supplying a fluid output to the hydraulic actuator. A controller is in communication with the valve and the sensor unit. The controller is configured to transmit a control signal to the valve to adjust the fluid output to the hydraulic actuator. The controller is also configured to adjust the upper position to reduce the travel distance in response to the load being at or above a threshold value.
WORK MACHINE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING WORK MACHINE
The wheel loader (10) includes a vehicle main body (1), a rear detection section (71), a vehicle main body angle sensor (72), and a controller (26). The rear detection section (71) detects an obstacle (5) in the rear of the vehicle main body (1). The vehicle main body angle sensor (72) detects the inclination state of the vehicle main body (1). The controller (26) determines the control corresponding to the detection by the rear detection section (71), based on the inclination state of the vehicle main body (1) detected by the vehicle body angle sensor (72).
WORK MACHINE, WEIGHING METHOD, AND SYSTEM INCLUDING WORK MACHINE
A load in a bucket is weighed accurately in a short time period. A work machine includes a bucket and a controller. The controller determines a period in which a parameter related to a load weight in the bucket fluctuates with respect to time. The controller averages load weights at a plurality of time points within the period to calculate an average load weight.
WORK MACHINE, WEIGHING METHOD, AND SYSTEM INCLUDING WORK MACHINE
A load in a bucket is accurately weighed. A work machine includes a work implement, an input receiving unit, and a controller. The work implement includes a bucket. The input receiving unit receives a weighing start input for starting to weigh the load in the bucket. When the input receiving unit receives the weighing start input, the controller determines whether an automatic weighing start condition is satisfied or not. The automatic weighing start condition includes a condition that the work implement is not performing an excavation work. When the automatic weighing start condition is satisfied, the controller controls an operation of the work implement to weigh the load in the bucket.
Systems and methods to improve work machine stability based on operating values
A work machine includes systems and methods for stability control based on operating values. The work machine includes a control system having a sensor system with a load sensor, an arm position sensor, and an articulation angle sensor. A controller is in communication with the sensor system. The controller is configured to receive a movement command and to receive a set of values from the sensor system. The controller is configured to determine an operational window for normal operation of the work vehicle based on the received set of values, determine a movement limit based on the received set of values, and limit movement of a component beyond the movement limit.
MODULATING OPERATOR INPUT FOR WORK ELEMENT ACTUATOR OPERATION
A control system for controlling movement of a work element of a power machine can include a control device, and an operator input device in communication with the control device. The control device can be configured to receive, from the operator input device, a signal for controlling an actuator of the work element. The signal can be filtered, using a digital notch filter, to generate a filtered signal, and an actuator of the work element can be controlled based on the filtered signal.
Wheel loader
A wheel loader configured to reduce the traveling distance required for a raise and run operation, and reduce fuel consumption includes: an engine 3; a torque converter 41; a forward and reverse switch 62; a stepping amount sensor 610; an operation amount sensor 73; and a controller 5. The controller 5 determines whether a specific condition for specifying an operation of the lift arm 21 in an upper direction during forward travel of the vehicle body, on the basis of a forward and reverse switching signal, the stepping amount on the accelerator pedal 61, and a pilot pressure Ti pertaining to the lifting operation amount for the lift arm 21. When the specific condition is satisfied, the vehicle speed is limited by reducing the maximum rotational speed of the engine 3 in response to increase in the pilot pressure Ti.
Agricultural monitoring system and method
