Description

  The present invention relates to a tractor including a traveling main transmission that performs a traveling shift in accordance with the operation of an actuator, and a shift control device that shifts the traveling main transmission by operating the actuator according to an artificial acceleration / deceleration command. This relates to a working vehicle.

  A working traveling vehicle having a traveling main transmission that performs a traveling shift according to the operation of an actuator and a shift control device that shifts the traveling main transmission by operating the actuator according to an artificial acceleration / deceleration command is known. It has been. Usually, this type of working vehicle is provided with an acceleration switch or a deceleration switch for shifting the traveling main transmission, and each time the acceleration switch or the deceleration switch is operated, the transmission control device However, the traveling main transmission is shifted one step at a time to the speed increasing side or the speed reducing side.

Further, the speed change control device is provided with initial setting means for determining an initial gear position of the traveling main speed change device when the key switch is changed from the OFF state to the ON state. As the initial setting means, the gear stage stored before the key switch is turned off is used as the initial gear stage, or a predetermined gear stage (a preset gear stage (regardless of the gear stage before the key switch is turned off) ( For example, there is known one having the first speed) as an initial shift stage (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent No. 3031810

  In the case where the gear stage stored before the key switch is turned off is used as the initial gear stage, the gear stage is maintained even if the operation is interrupted, so that the work can be performed quickly without operating the speed increasing switch or the speed reducing switch. However, if the memorized shift speed is on the high speed side, the aircraft may start suddenly or an engine stall may occur due to overload.

  In particular, in a working vehicle equipped with a traveling sub-transmission that is mechanically shifted according to human operation, the speed of the traveling sub-transmission is changed from low to high while the key switch is off. Therefore, if the shift stage memorized before the key switch is turned off is used as the initial shift stage, the speed change state becomes faster than before the key switch is turned off, and sudden start or stall is possible. Will increase.

  On the other hand, regardless of the shift stage before the key switch is turned off, the predetermined shift stage (for example, the first speed) set as the initial shift stage can prevent sudden start and engine stall. Each time the work is restarted, a resetting operation of the gear position is required, so that not only is the operability inferior, but there is a problem that it takes time to restart the work.

The present invention has been created in view of the above circumstances and has been created for the purpose of solving these problems, and includes a traveling main transmission that performs traveling shifting in accordance with the operation of an actuator, and an operation of turning on a key switch. And a shift control device that shifts the travel main transmission by operating the actuator according to an artificial acceleration / deceleration command, and the shift control device includes the travel main transmission. Shift stage storing means for storing the current shift stage, and initial setting means for determining an initial shift stage of the main driving transmission when the key switch is switched from the OFF state to the ON state. The predetermined shift speed is set in advance regardless of the shift speed memorized before the key switch is turned off and the gear speed memorized before the key switch is turned off. Be the initial gear is selectable, the one to select, characterized by determining based on the gear position stored before the key switch is turned off.
In this way, when setting the initial gear position of the main driving transmission according to the key switch on operation, it is possible to set an appropriate gear position according to the situation. For example, when the shift stage stored before the key switch is turned off is a low speed shift stage, there is no fear of sudden start or engine stall, so by setting the stored shift stage as the initial shift stage, It is possible to quickly resume the work, and when the shift stage stored before the key switch is turned off is the high-speed shift stage, a predetermined preset shift stage is set regardless of the stored shift stage. By setting the initial gear position, sudden start and engine stall can be prevented.
In addition, a traveling main transmission that performs a traveling shift according to the operation of the actuator, a traveling sub-transmission that is mechanically operated according to an artificial operation, and a key switch that is started to operate And a shift control device that shifts the travel main transmission by operating the actuator according to a specific acceleration / deceleration command. The shift control device includes a travel main transmission and a travel sub-transmission. Shift stage storing means for storing the current shift stage, and initial setting means for determining an initial shift stage of the traveling main transmission when the key switch is switched from the OFF state to the ON state; Regardless of the shift speed stored before the key switch is turned off and the shift speed stored before the key switch is turned off, the predetermined shift speed set in advance is set to the initial shift speed. It is selectable to gear, the one to select, characterized by determining based on whether the shift stage is changed in the traveling auxiliary transmission device between the state key switch is off.
In this way, when setting the initial gear position of the main driving transmission according to the key switch on operation, it is possible to set an appropriate gear position according to the situation. For example, if the gear position of the traveling sub-transmission device is changed to the high speed side while the key switch is in the off state, the preset low speed side speed change is performed regardless of the gear position stored before the key switch is turned off. By setting the gear to the initial gear, it is possible to prevent sudden start and engine stall.

The rotation of the gear 66 is transmitted to the gear 64 via the transmission shaft 61, and the rotation of the gear 66 and the gear 64 is transmitted to the quick turn device 75. In the quick turn device 75, the rotation of one of the gear 66 and the gear 64 is transmitted to the front wheel 2 through the differential gear 17 and the like by the operation of the clutch, so that the tractor 1 can be driven. In addition, by moving the gear 66 along the axial direction of the transmission shaft 61, the transmission of power to the front wheels 2 can be cut off.

  Next, the operation of the tractor 1 will be described.

  For example, the rotation output from the engine 6 is caused by the clutch 11, the output shaft 12, the output gear 13 fixed to the output shaft 12, and the input gear 15 meshing with the output gear 13. It is transmitted to the fixed input shaft 16. The rotation transmitted to the input shaft 16 is transmitted to the front main transmission 20A via a plurality of gears 16a, 16b, 16c and 16d having different numbers of teeth.

  In the front main transmission 20A, when the shift member 23 is in the neutral position separated from the gear 22a and the gear 22b, the gears 22a and 22b are idled with respect to the transmission shaft 21, respectively. When the shift member 23 is engaged with the gear 22a (or gear 22b), the shift member 23 rotates together with the engaged gear 22a (or gear 22b) to rotate the transmission shaft 21.

  Further, when the shift member 25 is in the neutral position separated from the gear 22c and the gear 22d, the gears 22c and 22d are idle with respect to the transmission shaft 21, respectively. When the shift member 25 is engaged with the gear 22c (or gear 22d), the shift member 25 rotates together with the engaged gear 22c (or gear 22d) to rotate the transmission shaft 21.

That is, if the rotation transmitted to the transmission shaft 45 via the gear 46b is the rotation in the forward direction of the tractor 1, the rotation transmitted to the transmission shaft 45 via the gear 46a is the rotation in the backward direction of the tractor 1. Thus, the forward / backward switching of the tractor 1 can be performed.

And two gears with different transmission ratios are set by meshing the gear 26a, the gear 26b, and the gear 26b. Thereby, in the main transmission 20 constituted by the front main transmission 20A and the rear main transmission 20B, eight shift stages having different transmission ratios are set.

  The gear 28c fixed integrally with the transmission shaft 28 is transmitted to the auxiliary transmission 50 through the integrally formed gears 62a and 62b, and similarly through the gear 63, respectively.

  In the auxiliary transmission 50, when the shift member 53 is in the neutral position separated from the gear 52a and the gear 52b, the gears 52a and 52b are idled with respect to the output shaft 51, respectively. When the shift member 53 is engaged with the gear 52a (or gear 52b), the shift member 53 rotates together with the engaged gear 52a (or gear 52b) to rotate the output shaft 51.

  In other words, the auxiliary transmission 50 is constituted by a synchromesh-type synchronous meshing gear transmission that includes gears 52a and 52b, gears 62b and 63 that are always meshed with the gears 52a and 52b, and a shift member 53. Two gear stages having different transmission ratios are set by the meshing of the gear 62b, the gear 52b, and the gear 63.

  The rotation of the output shaft 51 is transmitted to the rear wheel 3 via the differential gear 71 and the drive axle 72. In the four-wheel drive state, the rotation of the output shaft 51 is transmitted to the front wheels 2 via the gear 65, the gear 66, the transmission shaft 61, the gear 64, the quick turn device 75, the differential gear 17, and the like. .

The shift piston 125 of the hydraulic actuator 123 expands and contracts by the pressure oil supplied from the solenoid valves 121 and 122, and the stop position is held by the pin 126. The check valve 127 is released when the shift piston 125 moves and the pin 126 moves from the notch portion of the shift piston 125 to the shaft portion, and the hydraulic pressure supplied to the main clutch 30 is reduced to reduce the pressure of the main clutch 30.

The shift piston 135 of the hydraulic actuator 133 expands and contracts by the pressure oil supplied from the solenoid valves 131 and 132, and the stop position is held by the pin 136. The check valve 137 is released when the shift piston 135 moves and the pin 136 moves from the notch portion of the shift piston 135 to the shaft portion. The check valve 137 reduces the hydraulic pressure supplied to the main clutch 30 to reduce the pressure of the main clutch 30. Perform the cutting operation.

A cam plate (not shown) is integrally fixed to the support shaft, and when the main transmission operating tool 153 is rotated to the front side of the machine body, the cam plate is integrally rotated in the same direction to shift up switch SW1. When the main transmission operating tool 153 is rotated to the rear side of the machine body, the cam plate is integrally rotated in the same direction to operate the shift down switch SW2.

  In the present embodiment, the main transmission operation tool 153 is urged toward the neutral position, and every time the upshift switch SW1 or the downshift switch SW2 is turned on and operated according to the rotation operation of the main transmission operation tool 153. The main transmission 20 is shifted one step at a time for increasing or decreasing the speed. As a result, the main transmission 20 is shifted step by step to the speed increasing side or the speed reducing side to obtain a desired traveling speed.

  Next, a characteristic configuration of the present invention will be described.

  As described above, the tractor 1 according to the present invention is activated in response to the operation of the key switch and the main transmission 20 that performs a traveling shift according to the operation of the actuator, and the actuator according to the artificial acceleration / deceleration command. A working vehicle including a control device 100 that shifts the main transmission 20 by operation control, and the speed control device 100 stores a current shift speed of the main transmission 20 in the storage device M. Means and an initial setting means for determining an initial gear position of the main transmission 20 when the key switch is switched from the off state to the on state. The initial setting means stores the speed change stored before the key switch is turned off. Regardless of whether the gear is the initial gear and whether the gear is stored before the key switch is turned off, a preset predetermined gear can be selected as the initial gear. Select the shift key switch is adapted to determine based on the stored shift speed before the cut.

  In this way, when setting the initial gear position of the main transmission 20 according to the key switch on operation, an appropriate gear position can be set according to the situation. Specifically, when the shift speed stored before the key switch is turned off is the low speed shift speed (1st to 4th speed), there is no fear of sudden start or engine stall. Is set to the initial shift speed, so that the work can be resumed promptly. Also, when the shift speed stored before the key switch is turned off is the high speed shift speed (5-speed to 8-speed). Regardless of the memorized shift speed, a sudden shift or engine stall can be prevented by setting a predetermined shift speed (5th speed: low speed gear on the high speed side) as the initial shift speed.

  Further, as described above, the tractor 1 of the present invention includes a main transmission 20 that performs a traveling shift according to the operation of the actuator, a sub-transmission 50 that is mechanically operated according to a manual operation, A working traveling vehicle that includes a control device 100 that is activated in response to an operation of turning on a key switch and that shifts the main transmission 20 by operating an actuator according to an artificial acceleration / deceleration command. Is an initial stage for determining an initial shift stage of the main transmission 20 when the key switch is switched from the OFF state to the ON state, and the shift stage storing means for storing the current shift stage of the main transmission 20 and the auxiliary transmission 50 Setting means, wherein the initial setting means relates to the shift stage stored before the key switch is turned off as the initial shift stage and the shift stage stored before the key switch is turned off. It is possible to select a preset predetermined shift speed as the initial shift speed, and which one is selected depends on whether or not the shift speed of the auxiliary transmission 50 is changed while the key switch is turned off. Judgment is based on this.

  In this way, when setting the initial gear position of the main transmission 20 according to the key switch-on operation, an appropriate gear position can be set according to the situation. Specifically, when the shift stage of the auxiliary transmission 50 is changed to the high speed side while the key switch is turned off, a predetermined value set in advance regardless of the shift stage stored before the key switch is turned off. By making the first gear (the first gear: the lowest gear) the initial gear, it is possible to prevent sudden start and engine stall. In addition, when the shift stage of the sub-transmission device 50 is changed to the low speed side while the key switch is in the off state, a predetermined shift stage that is set in advance regardless of the shift stage that is stored before the key switch is turned off. (8th speed: highest speed stage) can be set as the initial shift stage.

  Next, specific examples of shift control and initial setting by the control device 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the shift control, it is determined whether or not the shift speed of the auxiliary transmission 50 is changed (S101). If the determination result is NO, the shift-up switch SW1 and the shift-down switch SW2 are turned on. Judgment is made (S102, S103). Here, when the shift-up switch SW1 is turned on and operated, the gear position (shift speed setting variable of the main transmission 20) is increased by one step (S104), and when the shift-down switch SW2 is operated and operated, the gear position is changed. Decrease by one step (S105). Further, when the shift speed of the auxiliary transmission 50 is changed, it is determined whether or not the shift speed is changed to the high speed side (S106). If the determination result is YES, the shift speed is set to the lowest speed (first speed). (S107) If NO, the gear position is set to the highest speed (8th gear) (S108). When these shift speed changing processes are executed, the shift speeds of the main transmission 20 and the auxiliary transmission 50 are stored (S109: shift speed storage means), and then the main clutch 30 is disconnected by controlling the solenoid valve described above. At the same time (S110), each shifter member of the main transmission 20 is operated according to the changed gear position (S111), and the completion of the shift is determined (S112). Thereafter, the pressure applied to the main clutch 30 is increased (S113), and one shift operation is completed.

  The initial setting (initial setting means) shown in FIG. 8 is a process for determining the initial gear position of the main transmission 20 when the key switch is switched from the OFF state to the ON state. The current gear position of the main transmission 20 and the auxiliary transmission 50 and the current gear position of the main transmission 20 and the auxiliary transmission 50 are read (S201). Next, based on the comparison between the shift speed of the auxiliary transmission 50 stored in the storage device M and the current shift speed of the auxiliary transmission 50, the shift of the auxiliary transmission 50 is performed while the key switch is turned off. It is determined whether or not the gear position has been changed (S202). If the determination result is NO, the gear position of the main transmission 20 stored before the key switch is turned off is on the high speed side (5-speed to 8-speed). It is determined whether or not there is (S203). If this determination result is also NO, the shift stage stored before the key switch is turned off is set as the initial shift stage (S204). If YES is determined, the shift stage is stored before the key switch is turned off. Regardless of the gear position, the low speed gear (5th gear) on the high speed side is set as the initial gear (S205). Further, when it is determined that the shift stage of the auxiliary transmission 50 has been changed while the key switch is turned off, it is determined whether or not the shift is to the high speed side (S206). If the determination result is YES, The lowest gear (first gear) is set as the initial gear (S207). If NO, the highest gear (eighth) is set as the initial gear (S208).

  According to the present embodiment configured as described, the main transmission 20 that performs a traveling shift according to the operation of the actuator, and the actuator that is activated in response to an operation of turning on the key switch and that responds to an artificial acceleration / deceleration command In the tractor 1 including the control device 100 that shifts the main transmission 20 by the operation control of the control device, the control device 100 includes a shift speed storage unit that stores the current shift speed of the main transmission 20 and the key switch is turned off. And an initial setting means for determining an initial gear position of the main transmission 20 when the gear shifts to the on state. The initial setting means sets the gear position stored before the key switch is turned off as the initial gear position. Regardless of the shift speed stored before the key switch is turned off, it is possible to select a preset predetermined shift speed as the initial shift speed. Is determined based on the gear position stored before the key switch is turned off. Therefore, when setting the initial gear position of the main transmission 20 according to the key switch on / off operation, an appropriate gear speed is selected according to the situation. A stage can be set. For example, when the shift stage stored before the key switch is turned off is a low speed shift stage, there is no fear of sudden start or engine stall, so by setting the stored shift stage as the initial shift stage, It is possible to quickly resume the work, and when the shift stage stored before the key switch is turned off is the high-speed shift stage, a predetermined preset shift stage is set regardless of the stored shift stage. By setting the initial gear position, sudden start and engine stall can be prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main transmission 20 that performs a traveling shift according to the operation of the actuator, the auxiliary transmission 50 that is mechanically shifted according to an artificial operation, and a key switch input operation. In the tractor 1, the control device 100 includes the main transmission device 20 and the subtransmission device 50. The control device 100 includes the control device 100 that shifts the main transmission device 20 according to an artificial operation control according to an artificial acceleration / deceleration command. Shift stage storing means for storing the current shift stage, and initial setting means for determining an initial shift stage of the main transmission 20 when the key switch is switched from the OFF state to the ON state. Regardless of whether the shift stage stored before the key switch is turned off is set as the initial shift stage and the shift stage stored before the key switch is turned off, a predetermined change set in advance. It is possible to select the initial gear position, and which one to select is determined based on whether or not the gear position of the sub-transmission device 50 has been changed while the key switch is off. In setting the initial gear position of the main transmission 20 according to the key switch on operation, an appropriate gear position can be set according to the situation. For example, if the shift stage of the auxiliary transmission 50 is changed to the high speed side while the key switch is turned off, the preset low speed side shift is performed regardless of the speed stage stored before the key switch is turned off. By setting the gear to the initial gear, it is possible to prevent sudden start and engine stall.
