(120), the lifting cylinder (11) is automatically controlled based on the detection result of the cutting height sensor (145) to keep the cutting height of the cereals substantially constant, while the working position of the lifting switch (146) The spin crawling operation of the traveling crawler (2) is prohibited by the descending operation, and the spinning crawler operation of the traveling crawler (2) is permitted by the lifting operation of the lift switch (146), and the cutting part (8) is at a low position. This prevents spin-turning while it is supported.

  Furthermore, the rotational speed of the variable speed rotation sensor (151) and the steering rotation sensor (152) for detecting the output rotation speed of the first and second hydraulic motors (24), (27) and the rotation speed of the left and right traveling crawler (2) are displayed. The turning indicator (153) to be connected is connected to the shift steering controller (120), and the rotational speed of the left and right traveling crawler (2) is calculated based on the detection results of the sensors (151) and (152) to calculate the indicator (153). As shown in FIG. 10, the driving state of the traveling crawler (2) is divided into stop, straight ahead (forward and reverse), slow turn, brake turn (left and right turn), and spin turn (right and left direction change). A steering angle sensor (113) for detecting the operation amount of the steering handle (19), and a main transmission sensor (111) for detecting the main transmission lever (73) switching position.

The left and right traveling crawler (2) speed is calculated based on this, and the left and right traveling crawler (2) speed is automatically controlled, and the speed change member (25) or steering member (28) output directly by the crawler rotation sensors (151) and (152) is directly controlled. The detection prevents the rotation sensors (151) and (152) from being damaged, and the driving status can be confirmed by displaying the left and right traveling crawler (2) speed.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 11 to 15, by operating the main speed change lever (73) in the forward (reverse) direction, the speed change motor (105) is operated to control the output of the speed change member (25), and the forward (reverse) ) Moves forward (backward) after shifting, and turns the left (right) by rotating the steering handle (19) to the left (right) while operating the main shift lever (73). By performing the operation, the speed change input operation amount for controlling the speed change motor (105) changes into a quadratic curve, and the steering motor starts from the straight position with a phase difference of 90 degrees with respect to the speed change input operation amount. The steering input operation amount for controlling (108) changes into a quadratic curve shape, and the shift member is proportional to the steering angle of the steering handle (19) by the shift input operation amount in which the rising is a gently curved quadratic curve. (25) is decelerated and the rise is The speed of the steering member (28) is controlled in proportion to the steering angle of the steering handle (19) by the amount of steering input operation that forms a quadratic slope, and the speed change member (25) and the steering member An electric speed change motor (105) and a steering motor (108) for adjusting the output of (28) are provided, and the output adjustment of the speed change member (25) and the steering member (28) is caused to have a time delay so as to operate smoothly. In addition, simplification of the maintenance of the speed change and steering operation structure is achieved.

  Further, FIG. 11 shows the operation by operating the steering handle (19) when the forward (reverse) forward operation amount of the main transmission lever (73) is maximum, half, and quarter. The output displacement amount of the steering motor (108) in which the steering member (28) is speed-up controlled is expressed as the steering speed-increasing operation amount, and the relationship between the rotation of the steering handle (19) and the steering operation output. Is shown. The steering acceleration operation amount, which is the output displacement amount of the steering motor (108), is set to be larger than the substantially linear proportional change with respect to the angle change of the steering handle (19), and the steering member (28 ) Is increased to compensate for the hydraulic power transmission loss, and the actual output of the steering member (28) is within the set appropriate range (100% efficiency output state).

  FIG. 12 shows the rotation of the steering handle (19) when the forward (reverse) forward operation amount of the main transmission lever (73) is the maximum, half, and quarter. It shows the relationship with the turning output rotation speed of the hydraulic motor (27) of the direction member (28), and the operation amount of the steering handle (19) is constant with respect to the operation of the main transmission lever (73) (change of the vehicle speed). Since the turning output speed of the steering member (28) is changed proportionally at the time, the speed (V1) of the turning inner traveling crawler (2) and the speed of the turning outer traveling crawler (2) as shown in FIG. When the steering wheel (19) rotation angle is constant, the ratio to (V2) is kept constant even if the vehicle speed is changed by operating the main transmission lever (73), and the vehicle speed of the main transmission lever (73) is changed. On the other hand, the turning radius (R) is kept constant. That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the rotation output of the speed change member (25) is transmitted to the left and right traveling crawler (2) via the left and right planetary gear mechanism (35) to drive the left and right traveling crawler (2) at the same speed in the same direction. At the same time, the rotational output of the steering member (28) is reversed left and right by the input steering gears (66) and (67) and transmitted to the left and right planetary gear mechanism (35), and the left and right traveling crawler (2) is moved in the opposite direction at the same speed. When the vehicle is driven (forced differential structure), when the vehicle speed is changed by changing the rotational output of the transmission member (25) by operating the main transmission lever (73), the rotational output of the steering member (28) is constant. When the vehicle speed is maintained, the speed difference (V2-V1) between the left and right traveling crawlers (2) is kept constant with respect to the change in the vehicle speed, and the turning radius (R) is increased by the increase (deceleration) of the vehicle speed. Is enlarged (reduced) and the steering handle (1 Even keeping the rotational angle of the constant), the turning radius (R) is changed by a change in the vehicle speed. On the other hand, as is apparent from FIGS. 11 and 12, when the rotation angle of the steering handle (19) is kept constant, the main shift that changes the vehicle speed by changing the rotation output of the transmission member (25). By operating the lever (73), the rotational output of the steering member (28) changes in proportion, and the turning radius (R) of the left and right traveling crawler (2) is kept constant. Each operation of shifting the main transmission lever (73) and steering the steering handle (19) can be performed with substantially the same operation feeling as the pedal and handle operations.

  As described above, the speed change member (25) is operated by operating the main speed change lever (73), which is a speed changer, and both the left and right traveling crawlers (2) are driven at the same speed in the same direction to increase or decrease the speed. In a crawler working vehicle in which a steering member (28) is operated by operating a steering handle (19) as a steering tool to drive the left and right traveling crawlers (2) to generate a difference in driving speed, The left and right traveling crawler (2) is shift-controlled while the ratio between the rotational speed of (2) and the rotational speed of the turning inner traveling crawler (2) is kept substantially constant. When the steering wheel (19) is turned left or right, the turning radius can be changed even if the vehicle speed is changed by increasing or decreasing the left / right traveling crawler (2) by operating the main shift lever (73). Is maintained at a substantially constant level, and the steering and shifting operations can be performed with a driving feeling similar to that of a four-wheeled vehicle. It is easy to change direction to the next work process position on the ground.

  Further, FIG. 14 shows that the shift by the operation of the steering handle (19) when the forward (reverse) forward operation amount of the main shift lever (73) is the maximum, half, and quarter. The amount of output displacement of the speed change motor (105) whose member (25) is controlled to be decelerated is expressed as a speed change / deceleration operation amount, and shows the relationship between the rotation of the steering handle (19) and the speed change operation output. The speed reduction operation amount, which is the output displacement amount of the speed change motor (105), is set smaller than a substantially linear proportional change with respect to the angle change of the steering handle (19), and the output of the speed change member (28) is set. The transmission power loss is increased to compensate for the hydraulic power transmission loss, and the actual output of the speed change member (28) is configured to be within the set appropriate range (efficiency 100% output state). As apparent from FIGS. 11 and 14, the output of the speed change member (25) or the steering member (28) is configured to be larger than a linear change during the stop or maximum output, To eliminate the problem of insufficient driving force of the traveling crawler (2) due to power transmission loss of the transmission member (25) or the steering member (28), to maintain the traveling performance of the traveling crawler (2) and to improve the driving operability. In particular, it improves the running performance during slow speed running where the loss ratio is large.

  FIG. 15 shows the rotation of the steering handle (19) when the forward (reverse) forward operation amount of the main transmission lever (73) is maximum, half, and quarter, This shows the relationship with the shift output speed of the hydraulic motor (24) of the member (25). When the operation amount of the main shift lever (73) is constant, the steering handle (19) shifts with respect to the steering operation. Since the speed change output speed of the member (25) is changed proportionally, as shown in FIG. 16, when the sub speed change lever (74) is kept at a constant position and the sub speed is maintained at the same speed, the straight position is steered. In the cutting path correction range in which the handle (19) is rotated about 15 degrees leftward (rightward), the speed change motor (105) slightly moves in the deceleration direction with respect to the rotation of the steering handle (19), and the speed change member ( 25) is maintained in almost the same output state as straight running and steering The second hydraulic pump (26) of the material (28) turns the second hydraulic motor (27) in the forward direction (reverse direction) to turn leftward (rightward), and the uncut cereal (crop) row The course is corrected to match the curve. At this time, the deceleration amount of the traveling crawler (2) inside the turning and the acceleration amount of the traveling crawler (2) outside the turning become substantially equal, and the body center speed is kept at substantially the same speed as the straight traveling. Further, when the steering handle (19) is rotated by 15 degrees or more from the straight traveling position, the transmission motor (105) operates in the deceleration direction in proportion to the rotation of the steering handle (19), and the transmission member (25) is rotated counterclockwise. The vehicle is decelerated in both rotation and right turn, decelerates the traveling shift output of the first hydraulic pump (23) and the motor (24), and drives the left and right traveling crawlers (2) to rotate forward in the same direction. ), And a brake turn operation that turns leftward (rightward) due to the difference in traveling speed between the left and right traveling crawlers (2) is performed, and when it comes off the uncut grain row, it returns to the original row or next to it. The course is moved to the next row. Further, when the steering handle (19) is rotated about 116 degrees, the turning member (28) reaches the maximum output and the turning output is maintained at the maximum output. The traveling crawler (2) on the inner side of the turn is driven in reverse, and a spin turn operation is performed in which the aircraft turns around the turning center between the left and right traveling crawlers (2). ) Is shifted in the turning direction by the left-right width of), turning the aircraft 180 degrees, turning the steering handle (19) in the range of the steering wheel operation amount from 0 degrees to the steering wheel operation amount of 135 degrees, and turning left or right The operation is performed, and the alignment course correction that moves along the uncut grain culm (crop) row within the rotation range of the left and right 15 degrees handle (19) centered on the straight traveling position, while maintaining the traveling speed during straight traveling To do and left By rotating the steering wheel (19) from 116 degrees to 135 degrees, while maintaining the maximum output of the swivel member (28), the spin turn operation of changing the direction of the aircraft on the field headland and moving to the next work process is This is done by automatically decelerating to about a quarter of the running speed (deceleration rate 25%).

  As is apparent from the above, vehicle speed sensors (118) (119) for detecting the left and right traveling crawler (2) speed, a steering angle sensor (113) for detecting the steering handle (19) operation amount, 73) A shift sensor (111) for detecting the operation position is provided, and the speed of the left and right traveling crawler (2) is automatically controlled so that the turning radius is determined by the operation amount of the steering handle (19). Simplify the operating structure of the direction handle (19) and the speed change lever (73) and improve or change the steering function and speed change function of the traveling crawler (2) to improve turning performance and driving operability. For example, depending on the detection result of one or both of the main transmission sensor (111) and the left and right vehicle speed sensors (118) (119) that detect a change in the transmission amount of the transmission member (25). The steering amount of the steering member (28) is automatically changed, and the speed difference between the turning inner traveling crawler (2) and the turning outer traveling crawler (2) is changed only by changing the vehicle speed. While increasing the speed difference between the left and right traveling crawlers (2) by the amount of expansion, the speed difference between the left and right traveling crawlers (2) is decreased by a smaller amount of the turning radius due to deceleration, and the vehicle speed is changed without changing the turning radius. The vehicle speed of the traveling crawler (2) is changed with a driving feeling substantially similar to that of a four-wheeled vehicle to increase and decrease the traveling speed and steering function of the traveling crawler (2).

  Further, either the main transmission sensor (111) or the left and right vehicle speed sensors (118) (119) in proportion to the increase / decrease / rotation change in the same direction of the left / right carrier shaft (40), which is the shift amount of the transmission member (25). Alternatively, the steering amount of the steering member (28) is automatically changed by the calculation output of the controller (120) based on both detection results, and when the steering operation is constant, the turning radius is made constant only by the speed change operation. The vehicle speed is increased / decreased, and the ratio of the speed of the inner crawler (2) to the outer crawler (2) is kept constant with respect to the change of the vehicle speed. Improvement of gear shifting and steering functions and simplification of traveling gear shifting and steering control. Further, the rate of change of the steering amount of the steering member (28) with respect to the transmission amount of the transmission member (25) (the vehicle speed ratio of the left and right traveling crawler (2)) is configured to be freely changeable by the turning sensitivity setting device (117). Depending on the road surface condition or the right / left balance of the weight of the machine, the speed ratio of the turning inner traveling crawler (2) and the turning outer traveling crawler (2) with respect to the change of the vehicle speed is changed. Prevents meandering due to uneven weight on the left and right. Further, the driving speed of the left and right traveling crawler (2) is determined by the steering operation amount of the steering handle (19) and the transmission operation amount of the main transmission lever (73), as shown in the output diagram of FIG. Based on the control reference value (control map) formed by calculating the relationship between the steering operation amount and the shift operation amount, the operation amount of the steering handle (19) A control reference value for the speed change of the left and right traveling crawler (2), which is determined based on the detection results of the steering angle sensor (113) and the speed change sensor (111), is stored in advance. And the control reference value is corrected by the turning sensitivity setter (117), and the steering or shift control of the average traveling crawler (2) based on the control reference value (control map), and the traveling road surface (Field) condition It is obtained a steer or shift control adapted to the desired driving feeling of an operator, achieving and improving driving operability.

  Furthermore, turning control is performed in the road traveling mode by sub-shift high-speed switching, and main shift deceleration control and steering control are performed based on the steering handle (19) operation by sub-shift standard switching and sub-shift low-speed switching. As shown in FIG. 16, the driving speed of the left and right traveling crawler (2) is changed by operating the steering handle (19) and the main speed change lever (73) to correct the alignment course and change the direction by spin turn on the field headland. And performing a harvesting operation for continuously harvesting and threshing the grains, and operating the auxiliary transmission lever (74) to operate the auxiliary transmission mechanism (32) at high speed or standard (reaping operation) as shown in FIG. Alternatively, when the speed is switched to a low speed, the speed difference between the left and right traveling crawlers (2) is kept substantially constant and the vehicle speed is changed, and the turning radius (R) of the left and right traveling crawlers (2) also changes as the vehicle speed changes. .

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18, by operating the deceleration sensitivity setter (115) by the hand operating member (56), the speed change member (25) based on the turning angle (steering amount) of the steering handle (19). The rate of change of the deceleration amount changes, and when traveling on a swampy mud road surface (low-speed traveling work) where the running resistance is large and slips easily, the deceleration change rate with respect to the turning angle of the steering handle (19) is reduced, or the spin turn By reducing the rate of change in deceleration to zero when vehicle speed is unnecessary, the vehicle speed is reduced throughout the entire steering operation, or as shown by the solid line in FIG. To do. On the other hand, in dry field traveling (high speed traveling work) with low traveling resistance, by increasing the deceleration change rate with respect to the turning angle of the steering handle (19), as shown by the phantom line in FIG. A direction change such as a spin turn can be performed stably, and a vehicle speed reduction operation and a vehicle speed return operation associated with a steering operation (direction change or straight advance) can be omitted.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 19, a spin turn switch that is a work switch is an operation that causes the traveling crawler (2) to perform a spin turn operation in the dry paddy field operation and stops the spin turn operation of the traveling crawler (2) in the wet paddy field operation.

Achieving such maintenance and improvement of the driving operation of the turning function of the travel crawler in field (2).

  In addition, when the spin turn switch (129) is operated to prohibit the spin turn as shown in FIG. 19, the change in the speed of the brake turn until the turning inner traveling crawler (2) is reversed is shown in FIG. The spin turn operation area (operation amount 100) of the steering handle (19) in which the turning crawler (2) is rotated in the reverse direction by the spin turn permission operation of the spin turn switch (129). In the range of degrees to 135 degrees), the speed of the crawler inside traveling crawler (2) can be kept substantially zero and the spin turn can be prohibited, while the operation amount of the steering handle (19) is maximum as shown in FIG. Brake turn to stop the crawling inner traveling crawler (2) at the (135 degrees) position, and the operating range of the steering handle (19) Speed is the quadratically slowly deceleration of the turning inner running crawler band (2), also performed to prohibit spin turn.

  Further, FIG. 21 is an output diagram showing the relationship between the rotation of the traveling crawler (2) and the turning sensitivity setting device (117). By lowering the steering sensitivity by operating the setting device (117), The inward turning crawler (2) is driven in the steering sensitivity insensitive state shown, and the turning radius becomes larger with the same steering wheel (19) operation amount than the standard steering sensitivity setting shown by the solid line, and the steering handle ( 19) No spin turn is made even with the maximum manipulated variable (135 degrees). Further, by increasing the steering sensitivity by operating the setting device (117), the turning inner traveling crawler (2) is driven in a steering sensitivity sensitive state indicated by a two-dot chain line, and the steering wheel has the same handle as the steering sensitivity standard setting. (19) The turning radius decreases with the operation amount. In addition, the turning outer traveling crawler (2) maintains a substantially straight traveling speed regardless of the steering sensitivity setting, and turns with respect to the steering handle (19) operation amount by the sensitivity setting of the turning sensitivity setting device (117). The inner traveling crawler (2) speed is changed, the turning outer traveling crawler (2) speed is changed in a substantially constant relationship with respect to the operation amount of the steering handle (19), and the turning radius of the steering operation is changed. The vehicle speed reduction amount is set by setting and steering operation, and the travel feeling selection and assembly adjustment work are simplified.

As described above, an electric cylinder type linear actuator (154) (155) is provided to control the shift and steering of the traveling crawler (2), whereby the operation arm (159) (163) is operated by the link mechanism or the hydraulic cylinder. Compared with the structure in which the speed is switched, the operating speed is slowed down to cause a time delay, so that the speed of the traveling crawler (2) can be changed and maintenance can be easily performed.
