Introduction
Yukio Takami is a notable inventor based in Komatsu, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of work vehicles, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to engineering and technology.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a work vehicle and method of controlling a work vehicle. This invention includes an engine, a variable displacement hydraulic pump, a hydraulic motor, a traveling apparatus, an exhaust treatment device, a reductant supply route, a controller, and an operation member. The variable displacement hydraulic pump is designed to discharge hydraulic oil when driven by the engine. The exhaust treatment device is responsible for treating the exhaust from the engine. The reductant supply route supplies a reductant to the exhaust treatment device. The controller is programmed to set the engine speed to a low idle when the reductant supply route encounters an abnormal state. The operation member indicates a change in the discharge capacity of the variable displacement hydraulic pump, ensuring that the travel speed of the traveling apparatus meets or exceeds a predetermined speed when the reductant supply route is abnormal.
Another significant patent is for a wheel loader. This invention features a control section that selectively executes either a first control or a second control based on the accelerator opening degree and a switching operation performed by a forward and reverse switching operation lever. The control section manages a motor capacity control section to maintain the hydraulic motor's capacity before and after the switching operation in the first control. In the second control, the motor capacity is set to a minimum value predetermined for each speed level. The control section executes the first control when the hydraulic oil temperature is at or below a specified threshold and switches to the second control when the temperature exceeds that threshold.
