Automatic closing door hinge, automatic closing door mechanism, and hinge of automatic closing door mechanism

An automatic closing door hinge, an automatic closing door mechanism, and a hinge of the automatic closing door mechanism, for smoothly opening a door or closing, with damping, a door. For example, an automatic door closing mechanism has a hinge having a pair of wing plates one of which has a cylinder in a circular cylindrical form received therein a piston, the other wing plate fixing an upper portion of an operation rod engaged with the piston, the piston being to be advanced and retracted through the operation rod associatively with a rotation of the other wing plate. The automatic closing door mechanism comprises a cam formed on the piston. An engaging part provided in the operation rod and movable in the cam. The cam and the engaging part engaging between the piston and the operation rod. A sphere arranged in a recess formed in an outer surface of the piston. A recess groove formed lengthwise in the cylinder. The sphere rolls along the recess groove, to allow the piston to slide within the cylinder. Impact upon door closing is to be damped by an action of air cushioning within the cylinder due to a return movement of the piston.

Hydraulic Driving System

ActiveUS20150292526A1Smooth motionSmoothly extending single rod hydraulic cylinderFluid couplingsServomotorsHydraulic cylinderFuel tank
To provide a hydraulic driving device configured to smoothly extend a hydraulic cylinder. The present invention includes the open circuit E, the closed circuit A, a control device 57, and a control lever 56a. The open circuit E is provided with a flow passage 202 for connecting an outlet port of the open circuit pump 13 and a head chamber 1a of the boom cylinder 1, a selector valve 44a provided in the flow passage 202, a discharge flow passage 404 for connecting a hydraulic fluid tank 25 and a flow passage 200, and a bleed-off valve 64 provided in the discharge flow passage 404. The control device 57 is configured in such a manner that when a manipulate signal for extending the boom cylinder 1 is input from the control lever 56a, the bleed-off valve 64 is closed, the selector valve 44a is subsequently opened, and the open circuit pump 13 is controlled.

Felling head accumulator arm

An accumulator arm for a felling head has inner and outer arms which are hydraulically driven open and closed. The inner and outer sides of the outer arm are curved away from an accumulation pocket and toward a harvesting arm, wherein the accumulator arm can be pulled around a newly cut tree to add the tree to the accumulation pocket with a lesser amount of hydraulic force and with lesser damage to the trees.
