    摘要: A method for automatically guiding a motor grader includes receiving a desired final grade for a worksite and generating a steering path for steering the motor grader across the worksite and moldboard control instructions for actuating a moldboard of the motor grader as the motor grader moves across the worksite based at least in part on the desired final grade, at least one steering performance metric of a steering system of the motor grader, and at least one moldboard performance metric of a moldboard system of the motor grader. Moreover, the method includes receiving an input indicative of a ground speed of the motor grader. Additionally, the method includes controlling the steering system according to the steering path and the moldboard system according to the moldboard control instructions when the ground speed is within a threshold speed range.

    摘要: A method for controlling a pitch angle of blades of a cooling fan of associated with a radiator of an engine, the blades extending radially from a central hub, the fan having an axis. The method includes regulating a pitch angle of the blades from a first limit value for which a cooling flux of the cooling fan has a first value to a second limit value for which the cooling flux has a second value greater than the first value. The pitch angle is determined based on quantities measured in the engine. The method further includes steps of detecting an engine speed; calculating a first derivative of the engine speed to detect accelerations of the engine; comparing the calculated first derivative with a threshold value and if the calculated first derivative is greater than the threshold value, setting the pitch angle to the first minimum limit value.

    摘要: A motor grader having an articulated frame that includes a first front frame portion and a second rear frame portion that is angularly moving with respect to the first frame portion around a pivoting axis. A front steering system includes front wheels that are movable around a steering axis with respect to the articulated frame and around leaning axis transversal to the steering axis so that the front wheels may turn and lean during steering operation. A control unit receives as an input a control signal representing a steering angle and outputs steering actuation commands for an hydraulic actuating system of the front steering system and for a hydraulic actuating system of the articulated frame realizing synchronized and proportional angular movements of the front wheels around the steering and leaning axes and of the first and second portions of the frame around the pivoting axis.

    摘要: A cab suspension system for a work vehicle includes a front suspension assembly having a bracket configured to fixedly couple to a frame of a cab of the work vehicle. In addition, the front suspension assembly includes a support element having a torsion bar and a pair of longitudinal supports. Each of the pair of longitudinal supports is configured to rotatably couple to a chassis of the work vehicle. The front suspension assembly also includes a damping assembly coupled to the support element and configured to couple to the chassis. The bracket is rotatably coupled to the support element at a pivot joint assembly, and the bracket is configured to position the pivot joint assembly forward of the cab relative to a direction of travel of the work vehicle while the bracket is coupled to the frame of the cab.

    摘要: A hydraulic arrangement is disclosed for distributing a fluid in pressure coming from a source of fluid in pressure among hydraulic units of a work vehicle. The hydraulic arrangement includes a priority valve configured to divide the flow of the fluid source between a subset of the hydraulic units on the base of an equivalent load sensing signal derived from the hydraulic units. The hydraulic arrangement further includes by-pass means fluidly interposed between the source and the subset of the hydraulic units and configured to allow direct passage of fluid by-passing priority valve from the source to the subset of the hydraulic units according to a predefined condition.
