Abstract

A utility vehicle, such as a tractor, having a hand-operated driver interface 10 is provided. The driver interface, which may be in the form of a multi-function control handle, is moveably attached to a control consol 16 situated alongside a driver's seat 18. The driver interface is moveable relative to the control consol in both a longitudinal and a transverse direction, either side of a central operating position, in a mutually exclusive manner. The driver interface is biased towards the central operating position from a longitudinal displacement and is releasably latched in a transversely displaced position. Preferably, longitudinal movement of the interface controls the speed of the vehicle; transverse movement of the interface towards the driver's seat changes the driving direction with regard to forward and reverse; and transverse movement of the interface away from the driver's seat puts the vehicle transmission into neutral and activates a parking brake. The driver interface may comprise a hand grip (12, fig. 1) connected to a stem (14, fig. 1) guided by a cross-shaped slot, where the hand grip may include a joystick (26, fig. 1) and the interface may include a plurality of fingertip operated levers (32A-D, fig. 1).

Description

DESCRIPTION
DRIVER INTERFACE
The invention relates to a driver interface fitted to a utility vehicle such as a tractor. In particular, the invention relates to a driver interface which is operable by a driver's hand.
Utility vehicles such as tractors fork lift trucks and self-propelled mowers, to name but a few, typically comprise a plurality of driver interface instruments including buttons, levers and joysticks disposed around the region of the driver's seat.
It is an object of the invention to provide a utility vehicle having an improved driver interface which delivers a reduced risk of unintentional operation.
It is another object of the invention to provide a utility vehicle having a driver interface which improves the safety of the vehicle operation when stationary or even parked.
In accordance with the present invention there is provided a utility vehicle having a hand-operated driver interface moveably attached to a control consol which is disposed alongside a driver's seat, the driver interface being moveable relative to the consol in both a longitudinal and a transverse direction either side of a central position in a mutually exclusive manner, and being biased toward the central position from a longitudinal displacement, wherein the interface is releasably latched in a transversely displaced position.
In a preferred embodiment, the transversely displaced position is remote the driver's seat relative to the central position. Advantageously, this improves the safety of the vehicle by providing a latched position wherein the interface is distanced from the driver thereby reducing the risk of unintentional operation.
Transverse movement of the interface away from the driver's seat preferably engages a neutral ratio of the vehicle transmission. In this way, there is provided a clear and definite visual indication to the driver that the transmission is in "neutral". Preferably, the transverse movement of the interface away from the driver's seat also activates a parking brake.
Therefore, at the time when the interface is at greatest risk of suffering an unintentional knock from a driver exiting or entering the cab, the interface is latched away from the seat.
Longitudinal movement of the interface preferably controls the groundspeed of the vehicle.
This is particularly advantageous when implemented on a vehicle having a continuously variable transmission. However, this does not preclude the implementation with a stepped-ratio transmission wherein such longitudinal movements of the interface can step the ratios up and down for example.
Transverse movement of the interface toward the driver's seat may change the driving direction of the vehicle.
In another preferred embodiment the interface comprises a handle connected to a stem which is moveably attached below the console, wherein the stem is guided by a cross-shaped slot in the consol so as to only allow longitudinal and transverse movement in a mutually exclusive manner. The handle may comprise a transversely extending projection which engages with a cooperating slot fixed relative to the console when the interface is latched.
Further advantages will become apparent when reading the following description of a specific embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings in which:-Figure 1 is a front perspective view of a driver interface in accordance with the invention; Figure 2 is an upper perspective view of the driver interface of Figure 1; Figure 3 is a front perspective view of the driver interface of Figure 1 shown with the driver's hand; Figure 4 is a highly schematic top view of a tractor cab fitted with the driver interface of Figure 1; Figure 5 is a top view of the driver interface of Figure 1; and, Figure 6 is a highly schematic top view of a driver interface in accordance with the invention in the central position and showing the longitudinal and transverse freedom of movement relative thereto.
With reference to the drawings, a driver interface in a form of a control handle 10 comprises a hand grip 12 and a support stem 14. The hand grip 12 serves to provide an ergonomic interface with the palm of the driver's hand so that the hand can rest on the grip 14 during operation of the vehicle, even when no force is being exerted to move the handle.
With reference in particular to Figure 4, the handle 10 is mounted on a substantially horizontal control console 16 which is located to the right-hand side of a driver's seat 18.
Arrow F indicates the forward direction of the tractor shown in part in Figure 4. The tractor cab 20 further houses a steering column 21 fitted with steering wheel 22.
With reference again to Figures 1 to 3, the stem 14 is substantially vertical and the hand grip 12 extends transversely from the stem 14 at an angle of no more than 35 degrees from the horizontal. This allows a driver to rest their hand 25 on the substantially horizontally extending hand grip 12 as shown in Figure 3.
A two-axis joystick 26 is affixed to the upper surface of the hand grip 12 in a position located between the driver's thumb and forefinger when in their normal resting positions (as shown in Figure 3). The joy stick 26 is operable by the driver's thumb and/or forefinger and such action can take place without the palm of the driver's hand leaving the hand grip 12.
The hand grip 12 forms a single part, generally U-shaped, moulding which is integrated with the stem 14. This can be manufactured as one part using simple and known plastic moulding techniques. The second side of the U-shaped moulding provides a body 30 which extends between the stem 14 and the end 31 of the U-shaped region running parallel to the hand grip 12.
A plurality of fingertip operated levers 32A-32D are mounted on the body 30 and are each within reach of a respective finger of the driver's hand 25. The fmgertip operated levers 32A- 32D are positioned in line along the body 30 and are each pivotally mounted so as to pivot on an axis which runs generally parallel to the extending body 30. This enables simple actuation of each lever by a respective finger without the driver having to move the palm of their hand from the hand grip 12. Each lever 32A-32D returns to a central neutral position when the driver's finger is removed therefrom.
The tractor is fitted with a front loader (not shown) which comprises a plurality of hydraulic rams each serving to move a different component of the front loader. Each hydraulic ram or pair of hydraulic rams is operated by actuation of a respective lever 32A-32D or joystick 26.
The entire handle 10 can be moved relative to the console 16 by appropriate movement of the driver's hand in both a longitudinal and transverse direction either side of a central position in a mutually exclusive manner. That is to say that the handle can be displaced only either longitudinally or transversely from the central position at any one time. In this example, the stem 14 is slidably engaged within a cross-shaped slot (not shown) in the console 16 so as to only allow longitudinal and transverse movement in a mutually exclusive manner.
The handle 10 is biased toward the central position by biasing means (not shown) connected to the stem 14 underneath the console 16.
When in a forward gear range, the forward speed of the tractor can be increased by the driver pushing the handle forward (in the direction of arrow F indicated in Figure 6). Conversely the forward speed of the tractor can be reduced by the driver moving the handle 10 rearwardly (in the direction of arrow B) beyond a central operating position shown in Figure 6.
The driving direction can be changed from forward to reverse, and vice versa, by a transverse shift of the handle to the left (in the direction of arrow L) away from the central position and toward the seat 18.
The driver interface in accordance with the invention lends itself to a tractor fitted with a continuously variable transmission wherein the power transmitted to the wheels can be simply adjusted by appropriate movement of the driver interface 12 in a longitudinal direction F, B. Despite this advantage the invention can also be applied to the control of a stepped-ratio transmission. In such a case, longitudinal movement of the handle (in the direction of F and B) may command a change in ratio of the transmission.
In accordance with the invention, the handle 10 is releasably latched in a transversely displaced position to the right R, that is to say in a direction remote the seat 18 relative to the central position. The handle 10 comprises a transversely extending projection 40 which engages with a cooperating slot 42 fixed relative to the console 16 when the interface is latched.
Movement of the handle 10 to the right R engages neutral in the transmission and activates the parking brake. Therefore, the associated latched position gives a positive visual and tactile indication to the driver that the vehicle is not in gear and that it is safe to alight therefrom.
Also, the physical latching of the handle 10 away from the seat 18 reduces the risk of unintentional movement thereof caused by the driver exiting and entering the cab 20.
It should be appreciated that the output functionality of the various driver inputs to the device described can vary without deviating from the scope of the invention. The driver interface described comprises three styles of driver input, namely movement of the handle 12, the joystick 26 and the fingertip levers 32A-D. This gives the opportunity for a highly flexible range of permutations in which the various functions of the tractor can be controlled by either of the driver inputs.
By way of example, any of the inputs may control one function from the following non-exhaustive list; -Ground speed; -Transmission ratio; -Engine speed; -Parking brake activation/deactivation; -Elements of front loader movements; or -Movement of an implement mounted on the front/rear linkage or otherwise.
When implemented on a combine harvester, the joystick 26 may control the unloading spout whilst the levers control the header functions and movement of the handle adjusts the ground
speed for example.
Regardless of the vehicle and the functions that the interface 10 controls thereon, the driver is able to operate any combination of the inputs simultaneously, and with a single hand.
It should be appreciated that longitudinal and/or transverse movement of the handle 10 may be translational with respect to the console 16 rather than pivotal by appropriate attachment of the stem 14.
Although the embodiment described with reference to the appended drawings comprises a hand grip which is substantially perpendicular to the stem 14, it is envisaged that the hand grip 12 could instead be substantially parallel to the stem 14 without deviating from the scope of the invention.
