    摘要: A method of controlling the braking of a tractor-trailer combination (10) in which the tractor (11) includes a drive train having an engine and at least one ground-engaging member (14, 16) driveably connected thereto via an adjustable-ratio transmission; at least one ground-engaging member (14, 16) of the tractor includes at least one tractor brake; and at least one ground-engaging member (17) of the trailer (12) includes at least one further, trailer brake, comprises the steps of determining (i) the deceleration of the tractor-trailer combination (10) resulting from braking effort applied via the tractor brake and/or (ii) the deceleration of the tractor-trailer combination resulting from engine braking. The method also includes establishing from one or both the said, determined decelerations as a target value in a control system a braking effort of the trailer brake that approximates the braking of the tractor-trailer combination (10) to the braking of the tractor (11) when considered alone.

    摘要: A fan cooling system and method are provided to control fan speed for cooling vehicle motor components while minimizing power consumption by the fan (52) and reducing engine fuel consumption for an engine partially powering the fan(52). The fan cooling system raises engine coolant temperature of a vehicle in motion to derive a fan speed demand so that fan speed may be reduced. The fan cooling system selects a maximum fan speed demand from one or more fan speed demands to command fan speed based on various sensed inputs, including engine coolant temperatures. The fan cooling system also improves cooling efficiency by incorporating slipheat protection for the fan (52) so as not to overdrive the fan for cooling.

    摘要: A flat plate nose frame design for a tractor (5) in which a thick, flat structural plate (32) is connected to and forwardly extends from the conventional frame rails (21) of the tractor (5). The flat plate nose frame design increases vertical clearance under the hood without raising the hood height or reducing ground clearance. The nose plate (32) is contoured to match the exterior contours of the tractor grill (15) and hood (11) eliminating the need for a separate aesthetic component covering the nose plate. The nose plate (32) features a pair of vertically aligned short-height frame plates (26, 27) extending forwardly along the axis from the deep-section frame rails (21) to increase strength in the flat nose plate (32) without significantly increasing vertical height of the nose plate assembly. The flat plate nose frame is capable of withstanding operational loads as well as supporting a weight package or front-mounted implements. Additionally, a releasable connector (70) for a tow cable (90) common on large tractors may also be connected to and supported by the flat plate nose frame without adverse impact to its primary advantages.

    摘要: A control device for a crawler vehicle comprises a control lever activated by an operator about a fulcrum and having a free end, the control lever being displaceable along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle between a proximal position closer to the operator and a distal position further from the operator in order to control a main clutch of the vehicle, the control device further comprising a support element suitable for being fixed to a body of the vehicle in order to support an operator's hand when the hand acts on the control lever, the control lever having an intermediate portion interposed between the free end and the fulcrum, the intermediate portion being so shaped as to partially embrace the support element in the proximal position.
