When correcting an error caused by deviation of an attitude detection device with respect to a work machine including a swing body which swings, a working implement being attached to the swing body, the attitude detection device outputting an attitude of the work machine, the error is corrected by using a first position which is a position of a part of the work machine when the work machine is in a first attitude and a second position which is a position of the part when the work machine is in a second attitude.

Calibration device of work machine, work machine, and calibration method of work machine

A work vehicle includes a work implement, a valve adjusting a flow rate of a hydraulic oil operating the work implement, an electromagnetic proportional control valve generating a pilot pressure guided to the valve, a controller outputting a current to the electromagnetic proportional control valve, and a sensor for detecting an operation of the work implement. The controller increases stepwise a current value of a current output to the electromagnetic proportional control valve by repeating processing for temporarily lowering a current value of the current output to the electromagnetic proportional control valve and thereafter outputting to the electromagnetic proportional control valve, a current having a current value greater than the current value before lowering. The controller calibrates data for predicting an operation speed of the work implement based on a result of detection by the sensor at the time when the current value is increased stepwise.

A hydraulic excavator is provided with a tilt cylinder disposition data creating unit and a bucket information computing unit. The tilt cylinder disposition data creating unit creates tilt cylinder disposition data which indicates that a disposition of a tilt cylinder is either a first disposition in which a bucket is rotated in the clockwise direction due to extension or a second disposition in which the bucket is rotated in the clockwise direction due to contraction, when viewing the bucket from a vehicle body side. The bucket information computing unit obtains a tilt angle of the bucket based on the stroke length on the basis of the tilt cylinder disposition data.

Work vehicle and method for obtaining tilt angle

A hydraulic excavator is equipped with a bucket, a tilt cylinder, a fourth stroke sensor, and a bucket information computing unit. The bucket is able to rotate about the center of a tilt axis. The tilt cylinder causes the bucket to rotate about the center of the tilt axis. The fourth stroke sensor detects a stroke length of the tilt cylinder. The bucket information computing unit obtains a tilt angle of the bucket on the basis of the stroke length detected by the fourth stroke sensor.
