Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fuel indicator for a combine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 2-42820, a fuel display device of a combine is provided with a gauge made of a transparent resin tube on a side surface of a fuel tank.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The level of the liquid level is difficult to see due to the level of sunlight, and the operator must step down from the control unit to see the level, which is cumbersome. Therefore,
As seen in automobiles, it is conceivable to provide a float type sensor in the fuel tank and display it on the fuel meter provided in the control box, but in such a case, the display will be displayed when the key switch of the engine is turned off. Is canceled, and if the operator forgets to see the fuel gauge when getting off the vehicle, the user must turn on and operate the key switch of the engine every time. The present invention makes it possible to see the remaining fuel level at the control unit, and if you forget to see the fuel gauge when getting off, you can see it without turning on the key switch of the engine. The purpose is to:

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that a liquid level gauge is provided on a side surface of a fuel tank, and a liquid level gauge is provided in the fuel tank so as to cross the liquid level gauge. A float-type sensor bar that moves up and down due to surface fluctuations is provided, and a fuel meter that displays the result of detecting the vertical position of the sensor bar is provided in the control box.

[0005]

[Function] By using the fuel meter, it becomes easy to see the remaining amount of fuel regardless of the amount of light,
There is no need to get off and see. In addition, if you forget to see the fuel gauge when you get off, you can see it without turning on the key switch of the engine by looking at the liquid level gauge provided on the side of the tank. Since it is arranged so as to cross, it can be easily viewed by coloring the sensor bar.

[0006]

[Effect of the Invention] As a result of the above-described configuration, the fuel level can be checked while the passenger is in the vehicle, and even if the fuel gauge is forgotten when getting off the vehicle, the fuel level can be checked without turning on the key switch of the engine. Can be seen, and an easy-to-use fuel display device can be obtained as a whole.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show a control section at the front of the body of the combine, which has a vertical sectional shape [a pair of left and right front and rear frames 1a, 1a,
A control box 2 formed by bending a sheet metal is erected along a front horizontal frame 1b of a control frame F composed of a front cross frame 1a and a front horizontal frame 1b having a vertical cross-sectional shape, and the upper part of the control box 2 A control tower P is provided with a front-view portal-type loop-shaped handle 3 and an operation lever 4 which is operable in the front-rear and left-right directions and controls the forward-backward movement of the aircraft and the turning operation of the aircraft. A fuel tank T also serving as a steering step is disposed so as to enter the frame F space of the steering frame F, and a fuel supply port 5a of the fuel tank T is provided so as to protrude upward. It is arranged near the back surface 6a. A transparent plastic liquid level gauge G for indicating the remaining amount of fuel is provided on the side surface of the fuel tank T, and a foamed resin is provided inside the fuel tank T so as to cross the liquid level gauge G. Float-type sensor bar S is provided, and the vertical swing angle of the sensor bar S is detected by a volume B, and is detected by an analog / digital converter (not shown) and a control device (FIG. (Not shown) so as to be displayed on a digital fuel meter M provided in the control box 2. Further, the front and rear frames 1a on the outer side of the body are provided with a viewing window W through which the liquid level gauge G can be viewed from the outside. As shown in FIG. 2, the volume B is provided so as to penetrate the flange Tf of the fuel tank T, and the volume B is
The step rubber sheet 7 placed on the upper surface of the tank T is positioned.

[Other Embodiment] As shown in FIG. 3, the volume B may be provided inside the frame 9 of the seat 8 to protect the volume B. Further, the fuel meter M is not limited to a digital meter and may be an analog meter.

In the claims of the utility model registration, reference numerals are written for convenience of comparison with the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the attached drawings by the entry.
