摘要:
A hydraulic drive system for the pitch cylinders (4A, 4B) of a bulldozer blade apparatus can include (a) main hydraulic pumps (30A, 30B) and an assistant hydraulic pump (31) to make up the assistant hydraulic circuit, (b) variable displacement hydraulic pumps (21A, 21B), or (c) fixed displacement hydraulic pumps (30A, 30B) and a plurality of solenoid selector valves such that the pitch cylinders can be connected in series. The assistant hydraulic pump (31) is connectable to delivery lines of the main hydraulic pumps through an assistant solenoid selector valve (32) which is controlled by an external signal. The blade (10) can be formed so that a line (14) tangential to the lower edge of the curved panel of the blade is inclined rearwardly with respect to the front face (13) of the blade edge member (12). Earth-moving work can be performed by inclining the blade (10) rearwardly by an angle (.theta..sub.1) with respect to its posture in digging work, and earth-dumping work can be performed by inclining the blade (10) forwardly by an angle (.theta..sub.2) with respect to its posture in digging work. The coupling positions of the two pitch cylinders (4A, 4B) can be in asymmetrical relation to each other. Control signals can be provided by a blade lever (23), tilt/pitch changeover switch (24), and pitch speed changeover switch (25). The tilt/pitch changeover switch (24) and pitch speed changeover switch (25) can be replaced by pitch-dump selector switch (25A) and pitch-back selector switch (24A).

A tractive force control apparatus and method for preventing a torque converter from being stalled while a working machine is operated during excavation and earth carrying work using a construction machine. In this apparatus, an engine rotational speed sensor (2), a torque converter output shaft rotational speed sensor (4) and a lift combination solenoid valve (12) are connected to a control apparatus. A pilot pressure control valve (11) for a blade lift is connected to a first lift operating valve (13), and also to a second lift operating valve (14) via the lift combination solenoid valve (12). First and second hydraulic pumps (20, 21) and lift cylinders (15, 15) are connected respectively via the first and second lift operating valves (13, 14). A traction output is computed in the control apparatus (16), and, when the traction output is lower than a target level, the lift combination solenoid valve (12) is turned off to reduce a flow rate of oil to the lift cylinders (15, 15). The traction force is thus increased correspondingly to prevent a torque converter (3) from being stalled.

During dozing operation, the amount of earth (i.e., load factor) accumulated on the front face of a blade is automatically detected independently of the operator's perception and, based on the detection, the dozing operation is automatically shifted from digging to carrying. The load factor is calculated by obtaining a horizontal reaction force and a vertical reaction force exerted on the blade during digging and by calculating the ratio of the vertical reaction force to the horizontal reaction force. When the load factor reaches a specified value, the blade is automatically controlled to incline backward to hold the earth.

A geared steering device (30) selectively operates rightside and leftside driving mechanisms (2,3) of a crawler vehicle (1) for more efficient operation of the crawler vehicle. The geared steering device (30) comprises a power input drive element (33) for inputting a driving power from a prime mover (7), rightside and leftside steering brakes (38R, 38L), rightside and leftside direct-coupled clutches (36, 44), a turn clutch (46), three arrays of planet gear trains (40, 43 and 48), and power output shafts (32R, 32L) coupled to right and leftside steering brake hubs (34R, 34L). A control unit compares an actual steering ratio of a geared steering device (30) with a designated steering ratio, outputs control signals to respective solenoid valves for controlling the direct-coupled clutches, the turn clutch or a steering brake so as to cause the actual steering ratio to approximate the designated steering ratio. The control unit outputs an engagement signal to the one of the direct-coupled clutches (36 and 44) on the side opposite to a steering direction entered by the steering lever (57).
摘要:
Smooth, effective dumping is achieved by automating. A switching point, at which a carrying mode is switched to a dumping mode during automatic driving in a dozing operation, is set beforehand. A dumping attitude of the blade is also preset for a desired traveling distance of the bulldozer from the switching point to a dumping point. The actual traveling distance of the bulldozer from the switching point is detected, based on which the blade is controlled so as to take the preset attitude.

In this system, data on the relationships of the actual traveling distance of the bulldozer with actual tractive force exerted on the blade, with the position of the cutting edge of the blade relative to the ground, with the ratio of the amount of excavated soil loaded on the front surface of the blade to the loading capacity of the front surface of the blade, and with the pitch angle of the blade are stored, and based on the stored data, the blade is controlled so as to assume the desired position.

Correction for compensating for errors caused by the pitching movement of a vehicle is executed with high accuracy at low cost. The ground speed of the vehicle sensed by a Doppler sensor is corrected with angular velocities with respect to the center of gravity of the vehicle. In this correction, the center of rotation of the vehicle and the rotation of the Doppler sensor itself during the pitching movement of the vehicle are taken into account. In order to mount the Doppler sensor at a high level in the vehicle without increasing the output power of the sensor, arrangement is made such that the relationship between the difference between the actual installation level of the Doppler sensor and a reference installation level and the amount of correction of beam depression angle is stored in a look-up table; the beam depression angle corresponding to the actual installation level of the Doppler sensor is calculated through correction with the corresponding correction amount of the table; and the sensed ground speed of the vehicle is corrected with the calculated beam depression angle.
摘要:
An extensive torsional force exerted on a vehicle body frame due to an operation of blade lift cylinders can be avoided. Determination is made to identify an occurrence condition which causes a torsional force on a vehicle body frame due to an operation of the blade lift cylinders 9. If a condition which causes a torsional force is identified, pressure oil supplied to the blade lift cylinders 9 through a lift control valve 26 is interrupted, thereby stopping the operation of the blade lift cylinders 9. Alternatively, the operation speed of the blade lift cylinders 9 may be reduced by limiting the flow rate of pressure oil supplied to the blade lift cylinders 9.

A dozing system that enables automatic control for all kinds of soil properties and less frequently requires manual control intervention. The system is designed such that the blade is lifted or lowered at a start of excavation in dozing operation in an automatic drive mode such that the actual cutting angle .theta. of a blade detected by an actual cutting angle detector becomes coincident with a target cutting angle (maximum cutting angle) .theta..sub.0 preset by a target cutting angle setting device.
摘要:
A dozing system for a bulldozer capable of providing high operational efficiency in dozing operation and a smooth excavation face. If it is determined when operation is performed in an automatic digging mode that the load exerted on the blade is stable, a target position for the cutting edge relative to the ground is corrected to the actual position of the cutting edge at that time. According to the ratio of the amount of excavated soil loaded on the front surface of the blade to the loading capacity of the blade front surface and/or the stability of the load exerted on the blade, a switching is performed between a weight characteristic for the operation amount of the load control and a weight characteristic for the operation amount of the smoothing control. Further, a map for correlating actual travel distance with the position of the blade cutting edge is prepared, and stable cutting edge positions are accumulated in each respective cycle and averaged to obtain an optimum target value for the smoothing control.
