    摘要: A dump truck includes a plurality of rear wheels (15) rotatably attached to a frame (11) and two GPS receivers (101, 102) arranged to be dislocated from each other in an anteroposterior direction of a vehicle. Any point selected from an area C, in the vehicle coordinates system B set in the dump truck, where the rear wheels contact a ground is defined as a reference point D. The two GPS receivers are arranged so that a vertical line descends from a line segment PQ, connecting two points P, Q of which positions are calculated by the two GPS receivers, to the reference point D. This makes it possible to accurately estimate an attitude of mining machinery by two position estimation means without stopping operation of the machinery.

    摘要: A system is disclosed for preventing power head rollover of a vehicle during a dump operation. The system includes a dump signal indicating when the vehicle is dumping, a strut sensor reading indicating a condition of the front struts, and a controller receiving the dump signal and strut readings, and activating a warning signal when the dump signal indicates the vehicle is dumping and the strut reading indicates the front wheels may be lifted off the ground. The strut sensors can be height, pressure or other types of sensors. The controller can also disable further lifting of the dump body when the dump signal indicates the vehicle is dumping and the strut sensor indicates the front wheels may be lifted off the ground. The system can include a strut limit, and the controller can act based on comparing the strut reading to the strut limit.

    摘要: A bed height adjustment system for adjusting height of a bed of a vehicle including an air spring supporting the bed; a valve unit connected to an air tank and configured to adjust height of the air spring by supplying and discharging air; and a vehicle-control ECU provided with a dump-signal line and a return-signal line each connected to the valve unit. The valve unit adjusts the height of the air spring into a dump mode by inputting a signal of the dump-signal line, returns the height of the air spring into a normal mode by inputting a signal of the return-signal line, and maintains the dump mode or the normal mode when the signal is not input.

    摘要: An articulated machine having a first frame and a second frame supported by first and second wheel assemblies respectively is provided. The machine includes a first sensor and a second sensor to provide position information of the first frame and the second frame respectively. The machine includes a drive train to couple the front and rear wheel assembly, and having an inter axle differential to facilitate the front and the rear wheel assembly to move at different speeds. The machine includes a controller to compare position of the first frame with position of the second frame to determine relative position of the second frame with respect to the first frame. The controller compares the relative position of the second frame with a predefined position limit. The controller selectively locks the inter axle differential when the determined relative position of the second frame is greater than the predefined position limit

    摘要: A programmable controller implemented method of determining occurrence of bed loading events in a hauling machine. The method includes determining if the machine was stationary for a period, if the bed is in a loading position, other factors contributed to movement of the machine, calculating a bounce amplitude based upon a filtered machine accelerometer signal, comparing the amplitude with a constant reflecting a minimum amplitude, and identifying a loading event for an amplitude greater than the constant, if the machine has been stationary for a given period, the bed in a loading position, and no other factors caused machine movement.

    摘要: A machine includes a frame and a dump body. An electronic controller is operably connected to the machine. At least one accelerometer is disposed to measure an acceleration of the frame and/or the dump body, and to provide an acceleration signal to the electronic controller. The electronic controller is disposed to receive and analyze the acceleration signal and provide a loading signal indicative of a severe loading condition to a remote control station and/or a loading machine performing the loading.
