Description

  The present invention relates to a configuration for detecting the position of an airframe in turning at a work site in a riding type rice transplanter.

  In the riding type rice transplanter, when one planting process is completed and the aircraft reaches the heel, the seedling planting device is lifted from the rice field and turned (turning substantially U-turn), When the turning is finished, the seedling planting device is lowered to the rice field and the next planting process is started.

For example, in Patent Document 1, it is determined that turning has been started when the airframe reaches the heel and the front wheel is steered (paragraph number [0038] in Patent Document 1), and a distance sensor (see FIG. 1). 3 (27), the detection (accumulation) of the travel distance of the airframe is started, and when the travel distance of the airframe reaches the set distance, it is determined that the turn is finished (paragraph number [ 0042]).
Thus, in patent document 1, it has comprised so that the completion | finish of turning may be detected, and the seedling planting apparatus may be automatically lowered to the paddy field (paragraph number [0044] of patent document 1). At the end, the driver does not have to perform the lowering operation of the seedling planting device with the lifting lever.

  If the front wheel is in the state of turning in a semicircle while maintaining the same steering angle from the start of turning to the end of turning, the mileage of the aircraft will continue to turn, and the vehicle is turning from the mileage of the aircraft. Since the position of the aircraft is uniquely derived, there is no problem even if it is determined that the turn is completed when the traveling distance of the aircraft reaches the set distance as in Patent Document 1.

  However, in a riding type rice transplanter, it is not only a state in which the front wheels are maintained at the same steering angle from the start of turning to the end of turning and turn to draw one semicircle. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 2, in a riding type rice transplanter equipped with a seedling planting device having a large width such as an eight-row planting type, the first half turn (L1 in FIG. 8 of Patent Document 2) is performed. After that, the vehicle may go straight ahead (L2 in FIG. 8 of Patent Document 2) and turn in the latter half (L3 in FIG. 8 of Patent Document 2).

Thereby, as shown in FIG. 8 of Patent Document 2, when performing the first half turn, straight traveling, and the second half turn, it is only necessary to detect (accumulate) the travel distance of the aircraft as in Patent Document 1. Detection (accumulation) of the travel distance of the airframe is also performed during straight travel during the first and second half turns. Thereby, for example, when the straight traveling during the first half and the second half of the turn becomes long, the turning distance of the airframe has reached the set distance in the straight running during the first half and the second half of the turn, even though the turning has not yet been completed. It may be determined that the turn has ended.
An object of the present invention is to configure the riding type rice transplanter so as to appropriately detect the end of turning.

The number can be detected.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the body position detection means 51 is provided in the control device 23. As shown in FIG. 7, the airframe position detection means 51 is configured to turn the airframe position Y1 in the advancing direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the airframe in the planting processes L01 and L02 (turning in the advancing direction of the airframe before the start of turning). (Corresponding to this, the coordinates of the aircraft that is turning in the traveling direction of the aircraft before the start of turning are detected). As described in [8] to [12] below, the position Y1 of the body in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the body in the planting strokes L01 and L02 is detected by the body position detection means 51. .

In the riding type rice transplanter provided with the eight-row type seedling planting device 5, as shown in FIG. 7, as shown in FIG. 7, the rear travel stage L1, the first half front travel stage L2, the first half turning course L3, the straight travel stage L4 There is a case where the second turning process L5 and the second traveling process L6 are performed, and the next planting process L02 is entered from one planting process L01.

[8]
Next, the backward travel distance L1 and the forward travel distance L2 in the first half when turning on the coast will be described with reference to FIGS.
When one planting stroke L01 is completed, the driver performs planting (the seedling planting device 5 is lowered, the planting and fertilizing clutches 26 and 27 are transmitted, the right and left side clutches 40 are transmitted). State), the aircraft is advanced toward kite B, and when the front end of the aircraft reaches kite B (step S1), the shift lever 45 is operated to the neutral position to stop the aircraft (step S2) (planting). Process L01).

  The driver stops the seedling planting device 5 with the elevating lever 11 or the operating lever 12 and raises it (the planting and fertilization clutches 26 and 27 are disconnected, the seedling planting device 5 is raised) (steps S3 and S4). Then, the shift lever 45 is operated to the reverse side to reverse the machine (step S5). When the aircraft moves backward by a desired travel distance, the transmission lever 45 is operated to the neutral position to stop the aircraft (step S6) (rear travel distance L1).

  The driver operates the shift lever 45 to the forward side to advance the aircraft (step S7). When the aircraft advances by a desired travel distance, the driver operates the steering handle 20 to turn the right and left front wheels 1. Steer in the direction. When the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) are steered to the right (left) steering limit A3 side beyond the right (left) set angle A2, as described in [2] above In addition, while the side clutch 40 on the outer side of the turn is maintained in the transmission state, the side clutch 40 on the side of the turn center is operated in the disconnected state, and the right and left front wheels 1 are set to the right (left) set angle A2. It is detected that the steering operation has been performed to the right (left) steering limit A3 side (step S8) (the first half of the forward travel L2).

  In step S3, when the planting and fertilization clutches 26 and 27 are operated in the disconnected state, the position of the aircraft in the advancing direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting strokes L01 and L02 by the aircraft position detection means 51. Y1 is set to “0 (origin)”, and “0 (origin)” is set as the shut-off position E1 of the planting and fertilization clutches 26 and 27 (step S101). Detection (accumulation) of the position Y1 of the airframe in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the airframe in the strokes L01 and L02 is started (step S102).

  When the aircraft moves backward (reverse travel distance L1), the average value (negative value) (corresponding to the distance traveled by the aircraft) of the pulses of the right and left rotation speed sensors 50 (the rotation speed of the right and left rear wheels 2) It is detected (integrated) as the position Y1 of the aircraft in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting strokes L01 and L02. When the aircraft moves forward (front travel distance L2 in the first half), the average value (positive value) of the pulses of the right and left rotation speed sensors 50 (the rotation speed of the right and left rear wheels 2) (corresponding to the travel distance of the aircraft) Is detected (integrated) as the position Y1 of the airframe in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the airframe in the planting steps L01 and L02 (step S102).

  In this way, in the rearward travel distance L1 and the first forward travel distance L2, the average values (plus and minus values) of the pulses of the right and left rotational speed sensors 50 (the rotational speeds of the right and left rear wheels 2) are planted. It is detected (accumulated) as the position Y1 of the aircraft in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the accompanying strokes L01 and L02. In this state, the right and left front wheels 1 are set to the right (left). This is maintained until it is detected that the angle A2 has been reached (steps S5 to S8).

  If the right and left side clutches 40 are in the transmission state, there is no difference in the rotational speeds of the right and left rear wheels 2, but the right or left side clutches in the rearward travel stroke L1 and the front travel stroke L2. Assuming that the steering handle 20 may be operated until 40 is operated in the shut-off state, the pulses of the right and left rotational speed sensors 50 (the rotational speeds of the right and left rear wheels 2) The average value (plus and minus values) is detected (integrated) as the position Y1 of the aircraft in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting strokes L01 and L02 (step S102).

[9]
Next, the first half of the turning stroke L3 during turning on the coast will be described with reference to FIGS.
When it is detected that the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) have reached the right (left) set angle A2 (when the side clutch 40 on the turning center side is operated to be disconnected) (step S8). ), The position Y1 of the aircraft in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting strokes L01 and L02 at this time is set as the cutoff position E2 of the side clutch 40 on the turning center side (step S9). .

Accordingly, (Y2 (plus value)) is calculated by the airframe position detection means 51 based on the following equation 1 in the first half of the turning stroke L3 from the cutoff position E2 of the side clutch 40 on the turning center side. (Y2 (plus value)) is detected (integrated) as the position Y1 of the aircraft in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting processes L01 and L02 (step S103).
Formula 1: Y2 = R * SIN (θ)
R: Aircraft turning radius θ: Aircraft movement angle

  As shown in FIG. 8A, when the steering angle A from the straight position A1 of the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) is determined, the turning center C of the fuselage is the right and left rear wheels 2 The wheel base W is determined to be located on the extension line of the axle 65 (see FIG. 3), and the wheel base W of the front wheel 1 and rear wheel 2 (the axle of the right and left front wheels 1 and the axle 65 of the right and left rear wheels 2 (see FIG. 3). 3) and the steering angle A from the straight travel position A1 of the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) is detected. When the turning center C of the airframe is detected, the distance between the left and right center of the airframe and the turning center C of the airframe is detected as the turning radius R of the airframe.

  As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, in the state in which the turning center C and turning radius R of the airframe are detected, the pulse of the rotation speed sensor 50 on the turning center side (the rotation speed of the rear wheel 2 on the turning center side). ) To detect the travel distance G of the aircraft (corresponding to the arc portion with respect to the turning radius R of the aircraft), and based on the turning center C of the aircraft and the turning radius R and the traveling distance G of the aircraft, the movement angle θ of the aircraft is Detected.

  As described above, (Y2 (positive value)) is calculated from the turning radius R and the movement angle θ of the aircraft based on Equation 1, and the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting strokes L01 and L02. ) Is detected (integrated) as the position Y1 of the machine body (step S103). In this case, every time the steering angle A from the rectilinear position A1 of the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) changes, the turning center C and turning radius R of the aircraft, the travel distance G of the aircraft, and the movement of the aircraft The angle θ is detected, and (Y2 (positive value)) is calculated according to Equation 1.

  When it is detected that the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) have reached the right (left) set angle A2 (when the side clutch 40 on the turning center side is operated to be disconnected) (step S8). ) A pulse (rotational speed of the rear wheel 2 on the outside of the turning) is newly detected (accumulated) from the breaking position E2 of the side clutch 40 on the turning center side. Based on the steering angle A from the straight position A1 of the front wheel 1 (steering member 41), the turning angle F1 of the airframe is detected (integrated) from “0” (steps S201 and S202).

  In this case, how much the current orientation of the aircraft has changed with respect to the orientation of the aircraft at the cutoff position E2 (planting stroke L01) of the side clutch 40 on the turning center side is determined by the rotational speed sensor 50 on the outside of the turning. Detected based on the pulse (the number of revolutions of the rear wheel 2 on the outside of the turn) and the steering angle A from the straight travel position A1 of the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41). It is detected (integrated) as the angle F1.

  If the turning angle F1 of the airframe is 90 degrees, the direction of the airframe is right side to the direction of the airframe at the cutoff position E2 (planting stroke L01) of the side clutch 40 on the turning center side. If the turning angle F1 of the airframe is 180 degrees, the orientation of the airframe is opposite to the orientation of the airframe at the cutoff position E2 (planting stroke L01) of the side clutch 40 on the turning center side (planting) Process L02).

  When the pulse of the rotation speed sensor 50 on the outside of the turn (the rotation speed of the rear wheel 2 on the outside of the turn) increases in a state where the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) are steered in the turning direction (integrated). Then, it is detected (integrated) that the turning angle F1 of the airframe has increased by the increment of the pulse of the rotation speed sensor 50 outside the turning (the rotation speed of the rear wheel 2 outside the turning). Conversely, in the state where the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) are steered to the straight travel position A1, the pulse of the rotation speed sensor 50 on the outside of the turn (the rotation speed of the rear wheel 2 on the outside of the turn) increases. However (even if integrated), it is detected (integrated) that the aircraft has just moved straight and that the turning angle F1 of the aircraft has not changed.

[10]
Next, the straight travel distance L4 at the time of cornering will be described with reference to FIGS.
When the straight travel distance L4 is entered from the first half turning stroke L3 (when the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) are steered to the straight travel position A1 side beyond the right (left) set angle A2), The right and left side clutches 40 are in a transmission state. In the straight travel distance L4, since the steering angle A from the straight travel position A1 of the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) is “0”, the turning radius R of the fuselage becomes infinite, and the above [9] (Y2) calculated by the described expression 1 is “0”.

  As a result, in the straight travel distance L4, even if the position Y1 of the airframe in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the airframe in the planting distances L01 and L02 is detected (integrated), the straight travel distance L3 is changed from the first half turning stroke L3. It does not change from the value when entering. Similarly, even if the turning angle F1 of the airframe is detected (integrated), the value does not change from the value (90 degrees) when the straight travel distance L4 is entered from the first half of the travel distance L3.

[11]
Next, the second half of the turning stroke L5 when turning on the coast will be described with reference to FIGS.
When entering the turning stroke L5 of the second half from the straight travel distance L4 (the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) are steered to the right (left) steering limit A3 side beyond the right (left) setting angle A2. When operated, the side clutch 40 on the turning center side is operated in the disengaged state while the side clutch 40 on the outer side of the turning is maintained in the transmission state, similarly to the turning stroke L3 in the first half described in the preceding item [9]. Is done.

  In the second half of the turning stroke L5, each time the steering angle A from the rectilinear position A1 of the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) changes, as in the first half of the turning stroke L3 described in [9]. Then, the turning center C and turning radius R of the fuselage, the travel distance G of the fuselage, and the movement angle θ of the fuselage are detected, and (Y2 (negative value)) is calculated according to Equation 1, and (Y2 (negative value)) Is detected (integrated) as the position Y1 of the aircraft in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting strokes L01 and L02 (step S103). In this case, since the turning angle F1 of the airframe exceeds 90 degrees, (Y2 (negative value)).

[12]
Next, the second half of the forward travel L6 when turning on the coast will be described with reference to FIGS.
When the second half of the forward stroke L6 is entered from the second half of the turning stroke L5 (the right and left front wheels 1 (steering members 41) are steered to the straight travel position A1 side beyond the right (left) set angle A2). ) The right and left side clutches 40 are in a transmission state.

  In this case, if the turning angle F1 of the aircraft has reached the turning setting angle FA1 (for example, 150 degrees) (step S10), it is determined that the turning at the shore is performed normally, and the right When it is detected that the left front wheel 1 (steering member 41) is operated to the straight advance position A1 side beyond the right (left) set angle A2 (step S11), the planting stroke L01, The position Y1 of the aircraft in the advancing direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft of L02 is set as the end position E3 of the second turning stroke L6 (step S12).

  At the same time, the seedling planting device 5 in the raised state maintains the planting and fertilization clutches 26 and 27 in a disconnected state, and the seedling planting device 5 descends (step S13). When it comes into contact with G2, the automatic raising / lowering control means 52 is activated, and the seedling planting device 5 comes into contact with the field surface G2 and stops (the seedling planting device 5 is maintained at the set height from the field surface G2). (The state in which the seedling planting device 5 automatically moves up and down) (so that the detection value of the potentiometer 22 (the vertical distance between the potentiometer 22 and the central float 9) is maintained at the set value).

  When the aircraft moves forward from the terminal position E3 of the second half of the turning stroke L6 and the forward travel of the second half L6, the average value of the pulses (the number of revolutions of the right and left rear wheels 2) of the right and left speed sensors 50 (minus negative). Value) is detected (integrated) as the position Y1 of the aircraft in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting processes L01 and L02 (step S104). In this case, since the turning angle F1 of the airframe exceeds 90 degrees, the average value (negative value) of the pulses of the right and left rotational speed sensors 50 (the rotational speeds of the right and left rear wheels 2) is obtained.

  For example, when the aircraft moves backward in order to correct the orientation of the aircraft, for example, when the aircraft advances backward in the latter half of the forward travel L6, the average value (positive value) of the pulses of the right and left rotational speed sensors 50 (the rotational speed of the right and left rear wheels 2) ) Is detected (integrated) as the position Y1 of the aircraft in the advancing direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting strokes L01 and L02 (step S104). In this case, since the turning angle F1 of the airframe exceeds 90 degrees, the average value (positive value) of the pulses of the right and left rotation speed sensors 50 (the rotation speeds of the right and left rear wheels 2) is obtained.

  As described above, when the position Y1 of the aircraft in the advancing direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting processes L01 and L02 reaches “0 (origin)” (step S14), the planting process L01. , L02 in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y), it is determined that the planting clutches 26 and 27 have reached the position E4 next to the blocking position E1 of the planting and fertilization clutches 26 and 27, and the planting clutches 26 and 27 are transmitted. The state is manipulated (step S15). Therefore, after this, the next planting process L02 is entered.

  If the turning angle F1 of the fuselage does not reach the turning setting angle FA1 (for example, 150 degrees) in step S10, it is determined that turning at the shore is not normally performed, and the subsequent steps S11 to S15 are performed. Is not performed. Thereby, after this, the driver operates the elevating lever 11 or the operating lever 12 to perform the operation of lowering the seedling planting device 5, planting, and transmitting the fertilizing clutches 26 and 27.

Degree area, 20 degree to 30 degree area, 30 degree to 40 degree area, 40 degree to 50 degree area, 50 degree to 60 degree area, 60 degree to 70 degree area, 70 degree to 80 degree area The turning radius R of one aircraft (the turning radius R of the aircraft corresponding to the central angle of the region) is set in each of the nine regions.
For example, in the region of 0 to 10 degrees, the turning radius R of the aircraft when the steering angle A from the straight traveling position A1 of the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) is 5 degrees (see FIG. 8A). ) Is set as the turning radius R of one aircraft in the region of 0 to 10 degrees.

  When the steering angle A from the rectilinear position A1 of the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) is in the region of 0 degrees to 10 degrees, the rectilinear position A1 of the right and left front wheels 1 (steering member 41) Regardless of this, even if the steering angle A changes, the turning distance R of one aircraft in the range of 0 to 10 degrees is used to detect the traveling distance G of the aircraft and the movement angle θ of the aircraft. The calculation of (Y2 (positive value)) (Y2 (negative value)) according to Equation 1, the detection of the position Y1 of the aircraft in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting strokes L01 and L02 ( Integration).

  At 10 degrees to 20 degrees, as described above, the turning distance R of one aircraft in the region of 10 degrees to 20 degrees is used to detect the traveling distance G of the aircraft and the movement angle θ of the aircraft. The calculation of (Y2 (positive value)) (Y2 (negative value)) according to Equation 1, the detection of the position Y1 of the aircraft in the traveling direction (+ Y) (−Y) of the aircraft in the planting strokes L01 and L02 ( Integration).

[Second embodiment for carrying out the invention]
Instead of the above-mentioned [Mode for Carrying Out the Invention] [First Alternative Mode for Carrying Out the Invention], the following configuration may be used.

A support shaft 68 is supported by a support member 67 on the upper part of the intermediate portion in the front-rear direction of the airframe in the right and left first case portions 37b of the rear axle case 37, and the small diameter gear 58 and the large diameter gear 59 are integrally rotatable. The small-diameter gear 58 is engaged with the ring gear 66 and is supported by the support shaft 68. The right and left first case portions 37b of the rear axle case 37 are formed with a seat portion 37d and an opening 37e in the upper portion of the middle portion in the front-rear direction of the fuselage, and the right and left rotational speed sensors of the proximity sensor type. 50 is fixed to the seat portion 37d and the opening 37e of the right and left first case portions 37b of the rear axle case 37 so as to face the large-diameter gear 59.

  Thus, pulses are transmitted from the right and left rotational speed sensors 50 so as to correspond to the gear teeth of the large-diameter gear 59, and the right and left rear wheels are generated by the pulses of the right and left rotational speed sensors 50. 2 is enlarged and detected through the ring gear 66, the small diameter gear 58, and the large diameter gear 59. Thereby, the resolution of the travel distance G of the airframe by the right and left rotation speed sensors 50 can be increased.

  The present invention can detect not only the number of rear wheel revolutions but also the distance traveled by the GPS as the travel distance of the airframe.
