20130081887 | CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - A construction machine includes an exhaust duct for discharging a lower airflow to the exterior of an engine room. An air inlet for introducing air into the exhaust duct is provided in an upper portion of the exhaust duct, and an air outlet for discharging the air from the exhaust duct is provided in a lower portion of the exhaust duct. An air passage is formed in the interior of the exhaust duct between the air inlet and the air outlet. The exhaust duct is disposed on an exhaust side of the engine room such that the air introduced into the air passage in the exhaust duct through the air inlet is discharged below the engine room from the air outlet through a discharge port, and such that a hydraulic pump provided on the exhaust side of the engine room is shielded from the discharge port by the exhaust duct. | 04-04-2013 |
20130093213 | UPPER SLEWING BODY AND OPERATING MACHINE HAVING THE SAME - An upper frame has a bottom plate, a pair of vertical plates that are provided to stand on the bottom plate so as to face each other in a right-left direction, and a left side frame configuring a part of a rim part of the upper frame. An attachment is supported on a support parts provided in front of the slewing bearing in vertical plates. A left vertical plate has a rear curved part, behind the support part, which is curved forming a convex shape directed toward an opposite side of a right vertical plate in a planar view. The upper slewing body further has a first coupling member for coupling the left side frame and the left vertical plate to each other so as to prevent the left vertical plate from being deformed in a direction in which the rear curved part approaches the right vertical plate. | 04-18-2013 |
20130093214 | OPERATING MACHINE - An operating machine comprises a machine body mounted on a lower propelling body. The machine body comprises an upper frame, and a line member mutually connecting a plurality of devices installed to the upper frame. The upper frame has a bottom plate, a pair of longitudinal plates each provided to stand on the bottom plate and extend in a front-rear direction, while being disposed in spaced-apart relation to each other in a right-left direction, and a transverse plate provided to stand on the bottom plate and extend in the right-left direction, while being joined to each of the longitudinal plates. A specific plate consisting of at least one of the pair of longitudinal plates and the transverse plate has an upper edge on which a pair of protrusions are provided in opposed relation to each other, and the line member is set to pass through between the pair of protrusions. | 04-18-2013 |
20130115035 | CONSTRUCTION MACHINE WITH HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT - Provided is a construction machine including a first circuit with a boom cylinder, a second circuit with an arm cylinder and a third circuit with a slewing motor, first to third pumps discharging respective first to third pump fluids, a first flow combining valve having a first combining position for the third and first pump fluids and a first combination limiting position, a second flow combining valve having a second combining position for the third and second pump fluids and a first combination and a second combination limiting position, and a flow combination switching control section which switches the flow combining valves to their respective combination limiting positions during an arm attracting operation and switches the combining valves to their respective combination limiting positions during a single slewing operation or during a boom raising operation with no arm operation. | 05-09-2013 |
20130145880 | DRIVE DEVICE FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - A drive device for a construction machine includes a speed reduction unit reducing speed of rotational force output from a motor, the speed reduction unit has a gear mechanism provided in a casing and reducing the speed of the rotational force output from the motor, and an oil receiver arranged above the gear mechanism in the casing, the oil receiver forms a main storage space for storing the lubricant oil, and is arranged in the casing such that an oil passage for guiding a rising lubricant oil to the main storage space is formed between an outer surface of the oil receiver and an inner wall surface of the casing, the oil receiver is provided with an oil drain opening, the oil drain opening designed to gradually discharge the lubricant oil stored in the main storage space toward the gear mechanism through the oil drain opening. | 06-13-2013 |
20130151087 | HYBRID CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - The present charging rate of a battery is accurately calculated. The calculation mode of the present charging rate is switched to a current integration mode during operation of a generator motor while the mode is switched to a voltage reference mode at a predetermined switchover timing. In the current integration mode, charge current of the battery is integrated and added to the initial charging rate and an integrated discharge current value is subtracted from the initial charging rate of the battery to calculate the present charging rate. In the voltage reference mode, the present charging rate is calculated based on a predetermined map and detected voltage of the battery. After calculation of the present charging rate according to the voltage reference mode, the calculation mode is restored from the voltage reference mode to the current integration mode and the suspension of operating the generator motor is cancelled. | 06-13-2013 |
20130167522 | HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - A circuit for driving a hydraulic cylinder of a construction machine includes: a hydraulic pump; a tank; a control valve; a bottom side line; a rod side line; a quick return circuit having a branch line branched off from the bottom side line and led to the tank and a quick return valve which allows hydraulic fluid to be flowed through the branch line only when the control valve is switched to a contraction driving position; and a recycling circuit which supplies a part of return fluid discharged from a bottom side fluid chamber to a rod side fluid chamber of the hydraulic cylinder. The recycling circuit allows the hydraulic fluid to be flowed only from the bottom side fluid chamber into the rod side fluid chamber of the hydraulic cylinder only when the hydraulic cylinder is switched to the contraction driving position. | 07-04-2013 |
20130174526 | CONSTRUCTION MACHINE - In a construction machine, an equipment room cover is formed with a maintenance hole, which has such a shape as to allow an air filter to pass, at a position on a rear side of the air filter mounted to a filter mounting portion of an air intake duct. A locking device of the filter mounting portion has a movable member movable between a locking position and a lock-releasing position. In the locking position, the movable member contacts with a rear surface of the air filter in a state that a front surface of the air filter is contacted with a contact member so that the air filter is sandwiched and held between the movable member and the contact member. In the lock-releasing position, the movable member is moved away from the rear surface of the air filter for allowing movement of the air filter toward the rear side. | 07-11-2013 |
