摘要:
This invention relates to improved control systems for vehicles which require power to prepare the vehicle itself and to drive auxiliary equipment mounted on the vehicle. A land vehicle has hydrostatic transmission to drive at least one roadwheel to propel the vehicle, an engine connected to drive both the hydrostatic transmission and auxiliary equipment mounted on the vehicle, a hydraulic pressure supply to the transmission and a speed control for the vehicle. The speed control controls the pressure supply of the transmission and the speed of the engine whereby the engine speed is restricted to a preset limit when the auxiliary equipment is operating and the speed of the engine can be increased when the auxiliary equipment is inert and the vehicle in transit. This results in a more efficient and better controllable vehicle, particularly working vehicles such as roadsweepers, agricultural and construction vehicles.

A utility vehicle throttle pedal includes a one piece molded plastic body pivotably mounted to a bracket, and having a face, an underside and first and second sidewalls between the face and underside. A throttle connect rod is positioned on the underside of the plastic body and has first and second ends entering first and second openings in the first and second sidewalls. A throttle cable is adjustably attached to the throttle connect rod. The throttle connect rod may be manually connected and disconnected from the throttle pedal without use of tools.

A utility vehicle includes a first axle, a second axle, an electric motor, an internal combustion engine, and a torque transfer device. The first axle is coupled to first and second wheels. The second axle is coupled to third and fourth wheels. The electric motor drives the first axle in a first direction and a second direction at different times. The internal combustion engine drives a transmission output shaft in one direction. The torque transfer device selectively drives the second axle in the first direction in response to rotation of the transmission output shaft in the one direction. The torque transfer device also selectively drives the second axle in the second direction in response to rotation of the transmission output shaft in the one direction.

A powered vehicular interlock system includes a powered vehicle with a propulsion means, a final drive means, a braking means, and a vehicle operator's chamber having a floor and a seat. The system includes an automatic transmission, a braking activation interface located close to the floor on the floor first side section, and a propulsion activation interface located close to the floor on a floor second side section. The system includes a propulsion deactivation interlock system having a braking activation sensor, a deactivation module, and a power supply. In a first position, the propulsion deactivation interlock system is adapted to allow the powered vehicle to be propelled. For operation, upon activation of the braking activation interface to a second position, the propulsion deactivation interlock system adapted to prohibit the powered vehicle from being propelled.
摘要:
Control section determines necessary acceleration of a transporting section in accordance with an actual transporting speed, and also determines a correction coefficient corresponding to the number of rotations of an engine from among correction coefficients having a characteristic of becoming closer to a value of one as the number of rotations of the engine increases. The control section multiplies the necessary acceleration by the correction coefficient to thereby provide corrected necessary acceleration, and controls rotation of a transporting drive motor in accordance with the corrected necessary acceleration. When the amount of electric power to be generated by a power generator driven by the engine has increased, the control section controls the opening of a throttle valve.
摘要:
A dual function throttle control system is disclosed for earthmoving machines. The throttle control system includes a hand lever that is electrically connected to a proportional directional hydraulic valve. Rotation of the hand lever controls actuation of an engine speed actuator and thus the speed of the engine. A foot pedal is connected through a three position spring-centered hydraulic valve to the engine speed actuator. The direction of flow of hydraulic fluid through the three position spring-centered hydraulic valve is controlled by the position of the hand lever. When the hand lever is set at the lowest speed setting, rotation of the foot pedal in a first direction increases the engine speed. When the control lever is set at the highest speed setting, rotation of the foot pedal in the first direction decreases the speed of the engine. Thus, the foot pedal operates both as a decelerator or an accelerator depending on the position of the hand lever.
