First Claim
Patent Images
1. A dozing system for a bulldozer, comprising:
- (a) switching point setting means for setting a switching point at which a carrying mode is switched to a dumping mode in automatic driving in a dozing operation;
(b) blade dumping attitude setting means for setting a dumping attitude of a blade for a desired traveling distance of the bulldozer from the switching point set by the switching point setting means to a dumping point;
(c) actual traveling distance detecting means for detecting the actual traveling distance of the bulldozer from the switching point; and
(d) blade controlling means for controlling the blade to take the attitude which has been set by the blade dumping attitude setting means, according to the actual traveling distance detected by the actual traveling distance detecting means.

Abstract
Smooth, effective dumping is achieved by automating. A switching point, at which a carrying mode is switched to a dumping mode during automatic driving in a dozing operation, is set beforehand. A dumping attitude of the blade is also preset for a desired traveling distance of the bulldozer from the switching point to a dumping point. The actual traveling distance of the bulldozer from the switching point is detected, based on which the blade is controlled so as to take the preset attitude.

4. A dozing system for a bulldozer, comprising:
-
(a) switching point setting means for setting a switching point at which a carrying mode is switched to a dumping mode in automatic driving in a dozing operation; (b) blade dumping attitude setting means for setting a dumping attitude of a blade for a desired traveling time period taken by the bulldozer to travel from the switching point set by the switching point setting means to a dumping point; (c) actual traveling time detecting means for detecting the actual traveling time of the bulldozer traveling from the switching point; and (d) blade controlling means for controlling the blade to take the attitude which has been set by the blade dumping attitude setting means, according to the actual traveling time detected by the actual traveling time detecting means.
