  The control box 82 attached to the attachment plate 71 is covered with a cover 110 as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). The cover 110 is configured to cover the top plate portion 83 and the side plate portion 84 of the control box 82 and is detachably attached to the attachment plate 71. The cover 110 has an upper wall portion 111 that covers the top plate portion 83 and side wall portions 112 a and 112 b that extend downward from the outer periphery of the upper wall portion 111.

  The upper wall portion 111 is formed in a planar shape, and extends substantially parallel to the top plate portion 83 in a state where the cover 110 is attached to the attachment plate 71. The side wall 112 a that covers the upper side of the control box 82 among the side walls 112 is locked to the peripheral edge of the mounting plate 71 to which the upper side of the control box 82 is attached. A step 113 is formed at the tip of the side wall 112 a, and the step 113 locks the tip of the side wall 112 a to the peripheral edge of the mounting plate 71.

  Side wall part 112b which covers the lower side of control box 82 among side wall parts 112 has stepped part 114 latched to the peripheral part of mounting plate 71 which attached the lower side of control box 82, and the tip of side wall part 112b The portion extends further downward beyond the mounting plate 71 and surrounds the board side connector 104 and the drive side connector 106. Similar to the control box 82, the cover 110 is integrally formed of resin, synthetic resin (ABS resin, FRP) or the like, and can transmit a command signal transmitted from the wireless command device 60.

  As described above, the electronic board 100 accommodated in the wireless reception control device 70 is placed on the side of the worker who has boarded the traveling machine body 90 in the working state of the tilling work machine 1 as shown in FIGS. Since the posture is maintained, when the worker M who has boarded the driver's seat 91 of the traveling machine body 90 faces the agricultural work machine side, the electronic board 100 in the wireless reception control device 70 faces the worker side. The worker M can operate the wireless command device 60 with the wireless command device 60 facing the electronic substrate 100. For this reason, the radio signal transmitted from the radio command device 60 can be reliably received by the electronic substrate 100.

  Further, the control box 82 of the wireless reception control device 70 has the flange portion 84b attached to the attachment plate 71 via the packing 87, so that the opening portion 82b of the accommodating recess 82a can be liquid-tightly closed with respect to the attachment plate 71. . For this reason, the situation where water intrudes into the accommodating recess 82a from between the flange portion 84b and the mounting plate 71 can be suppressed.

  The electronic board 100 is disposed in the vicinity of the inside of the top plate portion 83 of the control box 82 and extends in the vertical direction along the top plate portion 83, so that the electronic substrate 100 is separated from the mounting plate 71. For this reason, even if water intrudes into the accommodating recess 82a from between the mounting plate 71 and the flange portion 84b, the water flows on the mounting plate 71, so that it is possible to prevent the water from adhering to the electronic substrate 100.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5A, the lower end of the control box 82 is provided with a through hole 88, so that moisture in the accommodation recess 82 a can be discharged, and water adheres to the electronic substrate 100. The situation to do can be suppressed more.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4B, the control box 82 is covered with a cover 110 that surrounds the top plate portion 83 and the side plate portion 84, so that water is controlled when the tilling work machine 1 is washed. A situation of adhering to the surface side of the box 82 can be prevented. In addition, since the water flow direction changing plate 79 is provided on the back surface of the mounting plate 71, the water flowing from the upper part to the lower side of the back surface of the mounting plate 71 hits the water flow direction changing plate 79 and falls downward. Further, the lower portion of the cover 110 below the water flow direction changing plate 79 in the cover 110 extends further downward beyond the mounting plate 71. For this reason, even if the water at the time of car wash is poured on the lower back side of the mounting plate 71, the water hits the lower part of the cover 110 and bounces off. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the adhesion of water to wiring components such as the board-side connector 104 and the drive-side connector 106 arranged below the back surface side of the mounting plate 71.

  Now, FIG. 6, FIG. 7 (a) (side view), and FIG. 7 (b) (side view) show the tilling work machine 1 removed from the traveling machine body 90 and held by the caster stand 7. FIG. . The posture of the tilling work machine 1 held by the caster stand 7 is further inclined downward in the vertical direction as compared with the posture during the tilling work (see FIG. 2A). For this reason, the cover 110 covering the control box 82 has a posture extending in a substantially vertical direction, and the electronic board 100 accommodated in the control box 82 is similarly in a posture extending in a substantially vertical direction. Therefore, by operating the wireless command device 60 from the front of the tillage work machine 1 with the electronic board facing toward the electronic board, it is the same as when the operator M who has boarded the driver's seat of the traveling machine body 90 operates the wireless command device 60. In addition, the radio signal transmitted from the radio command device 60 can be reliably received by the electronic substrate 100.

  Even when the posture of the control box 82 extends in a substantially vertical direction, the surface side (the top plate portion side and the side plate portion side) of the control box 82 is covered with the cover 110, and the control box 82 is covered with the packing 87 ( Wiring components such as the board-side connector 104 and the drive-side connector 106 that are attached to the attachment plate 71 via the lower side of the control box 82 and are attached to the attachment plate 71 (see FIG. 5A) (see FIG. 4B). Is still covered by the water flow direction changing plate 79 (see FIG. 4B) and the lower portion of the extended cover 110. For this reason, it is possible to suppress the situation where water enters the control box 82 when the tilling machine 1 is washed, and it is possible to reduce the adhesion of water to the wiring components.

The placed command is sent to the control unit 200. Further, it receives a radio wave when the remote control device 60 is started up, and sends ID information carried on the radio wave to the control unit 200. The control unit 200 decodes the command data according to the command data stored in the storage unit 201, and controls the electric hydraulic cylinder 57, the drive motor 46, and the rotation device 44 via the I / O unit 203 according to the command. I do. In addition, the control unit 200 collates the ID extracted from the received radio wave with the ID stored in the storage unit 201, and sends a reply radio wave from the communication unit 202 to the remote control device 60 if they match. The storage unit 201 stores programs, settings, and the like used in the control performed by the control unit 200. Further, the storage unit 201 stores ID information, data of commands for operating the electric hydraulic cylinder 57, the drive motor 46, and the rotation device 44. The I / O unit 203 relays control signals of the electric hydraulic cylinder 57, the drive motor 46, and the rotation device 44 between the control unit 200 and each part. The power source 204 supplies power to the communication unit 202, the control unit 200, the I / O unit 203, and the storage unit 201. The power switch 205 is a switch for turning on / off the power. It is also possible to use a traveling machine (tractor) battery as a power source and a traveling machine (tractor) key switch as a power switch.

  The electric hydraulic cylinder 57 opens and closes the extension work machine body 30. The drive motor 46 is a motor that opens and closes the second extension leveler 36. The rotation device 44 is a device that switches the soiling state and the scraping state by switching the second extension leveler 36 up and down.

  The control unit 200 also includes a power stop control unit 200a that automatically turns off the power when the signal from the remote control device 60 is within the reception range when the power switch 205 is turned on. Further, the storage unit 201 stores error command data 201 a that is a command for turning off the power of the remote control device 60. The radio reception control device 70 includes a buzzer unit 206 that emits a buzzer sound when a signal from the remote control device 60 is within the reception range when the power switch 205 is turned on.

  The power stop control unit 200a turns on the power switch 205 and, when receiving a radio wave from the remote control device 60 within a predetermined time, for example, within 1 second, turns on the buzzer 206 and outputs a buzzer sound. The error command data is read, a signal carrying the error command data is transmitted from the communication unit 202, and the power supply 204 is turned off.

  As a result, when the power switch 205 is turned on, if the signal from the remote control device 60 is within the reception range, the power source 204 is automatically turned off. Therefore, when the power switch 205 of the wireless reception control device 70 is turned on. It is possible to eliminate the possibility that the operation of the agricultural machine is suddenly performed, and to improve safety.

  The power switch 210 is a switch for turning on / off the power source 224 of the remote control device 60. When the power switch 210 is pushed, the power is turned on, and when pushed again, the power is turned off. When the power is turned on, the power lamp (LED) 211 is turned on when communication is established in the radio wave range. If communication is not established outside the radio range, a communication error occurs and flashes.

  The left / right changeover switch 212 is a switch for switching between the opening / closing mode of the extension work machine 30 and the opening / closing mode of the second extension leveler 36. The left / right changeover switch 212 switches between opening / closing the extension work machine 30 and left / right operation of the second extension leveler 36. When the switch is pressed, the operation mode can be switched sequentially from left to right, right, left, left and right simultaneously. When the power is turned on, it stands up in the left and right simultaneous mode.

  The left and right mode lamps 213 and 214 turn on the left and right lamps in the left and right simultaneous mode, the right lamp 213 lights in the right mode, and the left lamp 214 lights in the left mode.

  The work machine opening / closing switches 215 and 216 are operated only when they are pressed, and when the extension work machine body 30 is closed and the opening is pushed, the extension work machine body 30 is opened and enters the work state. When the close button is pressed while the extension work machine body 30 is open, the extension work machine body 30 is closed to be in the retracted state. The left / right changeover switch 212 can be opened / closed at the same time on the left and right, only on the right and only on the left.

  The extension leveler opening / closing switches 217 and 218 operate only when pressed, and when the second extension leveler 36 is closed, pressing the open button opens the second extension leveler 36. When the second extension leveler 36 is open, pressing the close button closes the second extension leveler 36. The left / right changeover switch 212 can be opened / closed at the same time on the left and right, only on the right and only on the left.

  The leveler scraping operation switch 220 operates only when it is pressed, and when the scraper is pressed in the soiling state, the leveler 22 and the extension leveler 35 are in the scraping state.

  The communication unit 223 puts command data or ID data stored in the storage unit 222 on the radio wave when each switch is pressed via the antenna 227 and transmits it via the antenna 227. In addition, the communication unit 223 receives a signal from the wireless reception control device 70. When each switch is pressed, the control unit 221 reads command data corresponding to each switch stored in the storage unit 222 and sends the command data to the communication unit 223. When the power switch 210 is pressed, ID data stored in the storage unit 222 is sent to the communication unit 223. The storage unit 222 stores programs and settings used in the control performed by the control unit 221. Further, the storage unit 222 stores ID information, data of commands for operating the electric hydraulic cylinder 57, the drive motor 46, and the rotation device 44. The power source 224 supplies power to the communication unit 223, the control unit 221, and the storage unit 222. Further, the remote control device 60 includes a power stop control unit 221 a that controls the stop of the power source 224.

  The output control unit 226 of the communication unit 223 performs control to output at a strength smaller than the strength of the radio wave output when each switch other than the power switch 210 is operated when the power switch 210 is turned on. In particular, when the power switch 210 is turned on, radio waves are transmitted with a first radio wave output, and when operating switches other than the power switch 210, radio waves are transmitted with a second radio wave output. At this time, the intensity of the first radio wave output is smaller than the intensity of the second radio wave output. The intensity data of the first radio wave output and the intensity data of the second radio wave output are stored in the storage unit 222.

  FIG. 11 is a functional block diagram of the control unit 221. The control unit 221 includes a CPU 230, a memory 231, an input unit 232, and an output unit 233. The input unit 232 includes a left / right changeover switch 212, work implement opening / closing switches 215, 216, extension leveler opening / closing switches 217, 218, a leveler shifting switch 219, a leveler scraping work switch 220, and a signal from the communication unit 223. Is entered.

  The output unit 233 outputs signals to the communication unit 223, the power lamp 211, the right mode lamp 213, the left mode lamp 214, and the buzzer 225. The storage unit 231 stores a control program 240 that controls the operation when each switch is pressed, and a startup control program 241 that is executed when the power switch 210 is pressed to start the remote control device 60.

  The storage unit 231 also includes a left switch command data 242 that is a command that is transmitted when the left switch 212 is pressed, and a right switch command data 243 that is a command that is transmitted when the right switch 212 is pressed. Storing work machine open command data 244 which is a command to be sent when the work machine open switch 215 is pressed, and work machine close command data 245 which is a command to be transmitted when the work machine close switch 216 is pressed. Yes.

  Further, the storage unit 231 has the extension leveler open command data 246 that is a command to be transmitted when the extension leveler open switch 217 is pressed, and the extension leveler close that is a command to be transmitted when the extension leveler close switch 218 is pressed. The command data 247, the leveler squeezing switching command data 248 that is transmitted when the leveler squeezing changeover switch 219 is pressed, and the leveler scraping work command data 249 that is transmitted when the leveler staking operation switch 220 is pressed are stored.

  In addition, the storage unit 231 stores first radio wave output intensity data 250, second radio wave output intensity data 251, and ID data 252.

  For example, when the opening 215 of the work implement opening / closing switch 215 is pressed, the CPU 230 reads the work implement open command data 244 stored in the storage unit 231, and the output unit 233 sends the control program 240 to the communication unit 223. The data is transmitted, and the communication unit 223 places the work machine opening command data on the carrier wave and transmits it from the antenna 227. At this time, the CPU 230 reads the second radio wave output data (for example, 10 mW) from the storage unit 231, and the output control unit 226 of the communication unit 223 sets the output of the radio wave to be transmitted to the second radio wave output.

  The communication unit 202 in the wireless reception control device 70 receives and demodulates the radio wave via the antenna 101, sends work machine opening command data to the control unit 200, and the control unit 200 decodes the command data, A work machine open command is executed, the electric hydraulic cylinder 57 is operated via the I / O unit 203, and the extension work machine body 30 is opened and closed. The other switches of the remote control device 60 are operated in the same manner.

  The “start-up control program” 241 is a program that is executed when the power is turned on. When the power is turned on, a command for transmitting radio waves is transmitted from the control unit 221 to the communication unit 223. At that time, first radio wave output data (for example, 2 mW) is sent to the output control unit 226 of the communication unit 223. At this time, the ID data is also placed on the radio wave. As a result, the communication unit 223 transmits the first radio wave output radio wave via the antenna 227. When a reply radio wave from the radio reception control device 70 is not received after a predetermined time, that is, when the radio reception control device 70 does not receive radio waves, the radio reception control device 70 is off, or the ID is different, the power lamp ( LED) 211 blinks.

  When the radio wave reaches the radio reception control device 70, the radio reception control device 70 extracts the ID data from the received radio wave and collates the ID data with the ID data in the storage unit 201. When the ID data does not match, the reply radio wave is not sent, and when the ID data matches, the reply radio wave is sent. When receiving a radio wave from the radio reception control device 70, the remote control device 60 turns on the power lamp (LED) 211.

  The “start-up control program” 241 includes error command data in the reply signal when the communication unit 223 receives a reply signal from the wireless reception control device 70 when the power switch 210 is turned on. A determination step (determination means) 241a for determining whether or not the error command data is included, and when the determination step 241a determines that error command data is included in the return signal, a power supply stop step (power supply stop) Means) 241b.

  As a result, when the power of the remote control device 60 is already turned on and the power switch 205 of the agricultural machine wireless reception control device 70 is turned on within the reception range in which the signal from the remote control device 60 can be received, the wireless reception for agricultural machinery is received. Since a reply signal carrying error command data is sent from the control device 70, and the power source 224 of the remote control device 60 that has received the reply signal is automatically turned off, the power switch of the wireless receiving control device 70 for agricultural machinery When 205 is turned on, the operation of the agricultural machine does not occur suddenly, and safety can be improved.

  As described above, the work machine is controlled by operating the remote control device 60.

  Next, a procedure executed by the startup control program 241 and the radio reception control device 70 in the remote control device 60 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The start-up control program is started when the operator turns on the power of the remote control device 60. The control program for the radio reception control device 70 is also started when the radio reception control device 70 is turned on.

Step S <b> 11: The control unit 221 reads ID data from the storage unit 231 and sends it to the communication unit 223.
Step S12: The control unit 221 sends the first radio wave output data of the storage unit 231 to the output control unit 226 of the communication unit 223. The communication unit 223 puts ID data on the radio wave, and the output control unit 226 uses the first radio wave output data. The output is controlled from the antenna 227 so as to be output.

Step S13: The control unit 221 determines whether or not a reply radio wave from the wireless reception control device 70 has been received.
Step S14: In step S13, if the reply radio wave is not received, the power lamp (LED) 211 is blinked.

  Step S15: It is determined whether or not a power-off condition has been met. Here, the power-off condition is whether the power switch is pressed, no operation is continued for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes), or key input is continued for a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes) or more. If it is not a power-off condition, step S13 is executed. If the power-off condition is satisfied, step S22 is executed to turn off the power.

Step S16: Whether the power stop control unit 200a of the control unit 200 of the radio reception control device 70 has turned on the power switch 205 and received a radio wave from the remote control device 60 within a predetermined time (for example, within one second). Judge.
Step S17: If the power switch 205 is turned on and radio waves are received within a predetermined time, the buzzer is turned on.

Step S18: The power stop control unit 200a reads the error command data 201a stored in the storage unit 201, and transmits a reply radio wave with the error command data on the radio wave from the communication unit 202.
Step S19: The power supply stop control unit 200a cuts off the supply of power from the power supply 204. Then, the process ends.

Step S20: When receiving the reply radio wave in step S13, the remote control device 60 determines whether or not error command data is carried on the radio wave.
Step S21: When the error command data is placed on the returned radio wave, the remote control device 60 sounds the buzzer for a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds with an intermittent buzzer sound.
Step S22: The control unit 221 of the remote control device 60 turns off the power source 224 and ends this process.

Step S23: If the radio reception control device 70 turns on the power switch 205 in step S16 and does not receive radio waves within a predetermined time, whether or not the radio reception control device 70 has received radio waves from the remote control device 60 after the predetermined time has passed. Determine whether. If not received, return. Thus, the reception interrupt process is terminated.
Step S24: If the radio wave from the remote control device 60 is received in step S23, the communication unit 202 extracts the ID data from the received radio wave and sends it to the control unit 200.

Step S25: The control unit 200 collates the ID data stored in the storage unit 201 with the ID data from the received radio wave.
Step S26: The control unit 200 determines whether or not the ID data checked in step S25 matches. If the ID data does not match, the process returns. Thus, the reception interrupt process is terminated.

Step S <b> 27: If the ID data matches in step S <b> 26, the control unit 200 transmits a reply radio wave from the communication unit 202. Then, the process returns to end the reception interrupt process.
Step S28: When the control unit 221 of the remote control device 60 receives the radio wave from the wireless reception control device 70 by the communication unit 223, the power lamp (LED) 211 is turned on.

Step S29: The control unit 221 turns on the buzzer 225. For example, the buzzer is turned on for 2 seconds.
Step S30: The control unit 221 sends the second radio wave output intensity data from the storage unit 231 to the output control unit 226 of the communication unit 223, and the communication unit 223 converts the radio wave output to the second radio wave output intensity by the output control unit 226. To do.

  Step S31: It is determined whether or not a power-off condition is met. Here, the power-off condition is whether the power switch is pressed, no operation is continued for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes), or key input is continued for a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes) or more. If it is not a power-off condition, step S31 is executed again. This establishes a standby state until a power-off condition such as pressing the power switch is established or each switch is pressed. If the power-off condition is satisfied in step S31, the power is turned off (step S22), and this program is terminated.

  As described above, when the power switch 205 is turned on and the signal from the remote control device 60 is within the reception range, the radio wave is always received within a predetermined time, so the power supply 204 is automatically turned off. When the power switch 205 of the reception control device 70 is turned on, there is no possibility that the operation of the agricultural machine is suddenly performed, and safety can be improved.

  Next, the procedure when each switch is pressed will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Here, a case where the opening of the work implement opening / closing switch is pressed will be described as an example. The procedure when the other switches are pressed is different from the command corresponding to each switch, but the procedure is almost the same, so the description is omitted.

Step S41: The control unit 221 checks the state of whether or not the work implement opening / closing switch 215 is pressed by the operator.
Step S42: When the work implement opening / closing switch 215 is pressed, the CPU 230 reads work implement open command data stored in the storage unit 231.

Step S43: The control unit 221 sends the data to the communication unit 222, and the communication unit 223 places the work machine opening command data on the carrier wave and transmits it from the antenna 227. At this time, the output control unit 226 of the communication unit 223 sets the output of the radio wave to be transmitted to the second radio wave output.
Step S44: The communication unit 202 in the wireless reception control device 70 determines whether or not the radio wave is received via the antenna 101. If no radio wave is received, the process returns and ends this reception interrupt process.

Step S45: If a radio wave is received in step S44, the communication unit 202 transmits a return radio wave.
Step S46: The communication unit 202 extracts work implement opening command data and sends it to the control unit 200.

Step S47: The control unit 200 stores the command data. Then, the process returns to end this reception interrupt process.
Step S48: The control unit 221 of the remote control device 60 determines whether or not a reply radio wave from the wireless reception control device 70 has been received. If no reply wave is received, return. As a result, the interrupt process is terminated. Then, this program is started after a predetermined time, for example, 10 msec.

  Step S49: If a reply radio wave is received in step S48, a reply completion process such as turning on the buzzer is performed, and the process returns.

  The above processing in the remote control device 60 is repeatedly executed every predetermined time, for example, every 10 msec.

  FIG. 13B is a flowchart of timer interrupt processing executed by the control unit 200 of the wireless reception control device 70 every predetermined time, for example, every 20 msec.

Step S51: The control unit 200 checks the command stored in step S37 and decodes the command. In this embodiment, the fact that the work implement opening command is stored is read out.
Step S52: The controller 200 executes an operation process. In this embodiment, the control unit 200 executes a work machine opening command, operates the electric hydraulic cylinder 57 via the I / O unit 203, and opens the extension work machine body 30. Then return.
The procedure by other switch operations of the remote control device 60 is executed in substantially the same manner, although the operation is different from the command.

  Next, the remote control device 60 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Step S70: The power stop control unit 200a reads the error command data 201a stored in the storage unit 201, and transmits a reply radio wave with the error command data on the radio wave from the communication unit 202.
Step S71: The power stop control unit 200a turns off the power 204. Then, the process ends.

Step S72: When the remote control device 60 receives the reply radio wave in step S13, it determines whether or not error command data is carried on the radio wave.
Step S73: When the error command data is placed on the returned radio wave, the remote control device 60 sounds the buzzer for a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds with an intermittent buzzer sound.
Step S74: The control unit 221 of the remote control device 60 turns off the power source 224 and ends this process.

Step S75: If the radio reception control device 70 does not receive the radio wave within a predetermined time by turning on the power switch 205 in step S68, whether or not the radio reception control device 70 has received the radio wave from the remote control device 60 after the predetermined time has passed. Determine whether. If not received, return. Thus, the reception interrupt process is terminated.
Step S76: If the radio wave from the remote control device 60 is received in step S58, the communication unit 202 extracts the ID data from the received radio wave and sends it to the control unit 200.

Step S77: The control unit 200 collates the ID data stored in the storage unit 201 with the ID data from the received radio wave.
Step S78: The control unit 200 determines whether or not the ID data checked in step S18 matches. If the ID data does not match, the process returns. Thus, the reception interrupt process is terminated.

Step S79: If the ID data matches in step S78, the control unit 200 transmits a reply radio wave from the communication unit 202. Then, the process returns to end the reception interrupt process.
Step S80: When the control unit 221 of the remote control device 60 receives the radio wave from the wireless reception control device 70 by the communication unit 223, the power lamp (LED) 211 is turned on.

Step S81: The control unit 221 turns on the buzzer 225. For example, the buzzer is turned on for 2 seconds.
Step S82: The control unit 221 sends the second radio wave output intensity data from the storage unit 231 to the output control unit 226 of the communication unit 223, and the communication unit 223 converts the radio wave output to the second radio wave output intensity by the output control unit 226. To do.

  Step S83: It is determined whether or not a power-off condition is met. Here, the power-off condition is whether the power switch is pressed, no operation is continued for a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes), or key input is continued for a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes) or more. If it is not a power-off condition, step S83 is executed again. This establishes a standby state until a power-off condition such as pressing the power switch is established or each switch is pressed. If the power off condition is satisfied in step S83, the power is turned off and the program is terminated.

  As described above, when the power switch 205 is turned on and the signal from the remote control device 60 is within the reception range, the radio wave is always received within a predetermined time, so the power supply 204 is automatically turned off. When the power switch 205 of the reception control device 70 is turned on, there is no possibility that the operation of the agricultural machine is suddenly performed, and safety can be improved.
