  However, when the steering turn is performed by the transmission case, it is possible to continuously execute mild turning, brake turning, and spin turning by operating the power steering lever, and when the tilting operation angle of the lever is large Since the spin turns at once, at high vehicle speeds, one side of the left and right traveling crawlers is in a forward high speed state and the other side is in a reverse high speed state, resulting in a sharp turn with a large speed difference, which increases the operator's risk. Also, a large load is generated on the aircraft, causing damage.

For this reason, when trying to display the speed difference between the left and right traveling crawlers on the screen of the monitor display, there is a problem that a special monitor display is required.
Therefore, the occurrence of trouble is prevented by checking the speed difference between the left and right traveling crawlers and performing regulation.

  The present invention provides a traveling device (8) having left and right crawlers (5a, 5b) on the lower side of a chassis (7), and a threshing device (11) having a Glen tank (10) on the chassis (7). ), A reaping device (17) is provided in front of the threshing device (11), and an operation seat (19) is provided on the front side of the Glen tank (10), below the operation seat (19). An engine (20) is provided on the side, and a differential (3) is installed on the front side of the chassis (7) to drive the hydraulic continuously variable transmission (2) by operating the handle (1) to perform turning. The traveling mission case (4) is provided, and the amount of grain stored in the Glen tank (10) and the rotational speed of the engine (20) are displayed on the monitor display (6) as a basic screen (A), Speed difference between left crawler (5a) and right crawler (5b) is set When the handle (1) is operated until the angle exceeds, a display screen (B) for allowing the operator to recognize the speed difference is displayed on the monitor display (6), and the left crawler (5a) and the right crawler (5b) When the handle (1) is operated until the speed difference with the speed returns within the set speed, the display on the display screen (B) is erased from the monitor display (6) and the basic screen (A) is displayed. The combine is characterized in that a returning controller (83) is provided.

  According to this invention, the amount of grains stored in the Glen tank (10) and the rotational speed of the engine (20) are displayed on the monitor display (6) as the basic screen (A), and the left crawler (5a) When the handle (1) is operated until the speed difference between the right crawler (5b) and the right crawler (5b) exceeds the set speed, a display screen (B) for allowing the operator to recognize the speed difference is displayed on the monitor display (6). When the handle (1) is operated until the speed difference between the left crawler (5a) and the right crawler (5b) returns within the set speed, the display screen (B) is displayed from the monitor display (6). Since the display can be erased and the display can be returned to the display of the basic screen (A), a special monitor display for displaying the turning state is not required, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced by simplifying the configuration.

  Then, in a state where the crawler slips in a wet field or the like and hinders turning, the handle (1) sinks from the soil surface by the operation of increasing the speed difference between the left and right crawlers (5a, 5b), and the escape state becomes impossible. Trouble can be avoided.

A valve 65 is provided and configured.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the mechanism for adjusting the output rotational speed of the continuously variable transmission 2 includes a rotation control arm 66 fixed to the shaft of the variable pump 2 a of the continuously variable transmission 2. An arcuate driven gear 66a provided on one side and a drive gear 67a fixed to the output control motor 67 are engaged with each other.

  A sensor action pin 68 fixed to the other end of the rotation control arm 66 is slidable in a long groove 70a of the action arm 70 that is rotatably extended from an output rotation sensor 69 that detects the output rotation speed by a potentiometer or the like. To be loosely fitted.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the CPU is mainly arranged to perform arithmetic control of the automatic circuit, and when it is detected that the speed difference between the left and right traveling crawlers 5 exceeds a set value, the continuously variable transmission 2 A controller 71 having a built-in output restricting means 71a for restricting the output rotational speed of the left and right axle rotation sensors 50 is connected to the input side of the controller 71, and the output control motor 67 is connected to the output side of the controller 71. To configure.

  The power from the external output shaft 23 is input from the input gear 25 of the traveling mission case 4 to the variable pump 28a of the traveling hydraulic continuously variable transmission 28 via the intermediate gear 27, and the main shift of the variable pump 28a. The main shift drive of the hydraulic motor 28b is performed by operating the lever 51.

  In the case of straight travel, the hydraulic motor 28b is driven by the high speed drive gear 30, the low speed drive gear 31 and the high and low speed shift gear 32 to transmit from the speed change transmission gear 34 to the steering center gear 36, and is connected to the center gear 36. The traveling sprocket 41 is driven by the axle gear 39 via the small diameter gear 37a of the steering clutch 37.

  Next, when steering is performed, the lever is rotated by the power steering lever 1 by tilting the lever arm 57 to the left or right until the lever arm 57 comes into contact with the stopper 63 around the rotation plate fulcrum 55. It rotates against the torque spring 58 locked to the locking pin 59 together with the plate 56, the limit switch 64 is turned on by the rotation of the rotating plate 56, and the clutch electromagnetic valve 65 passes through the push cylinder 47. The shifter 38 is operated so that the steering clutch 37 is disengaged, and this state is maintained until the end of turning.

  When the lever arm 57 is further operated with a large tilt angle in the disengagement state of the steering clutch 37, the lever substrate 54 rotates around the substrate fulcrum 53 with the arm 57 in contact with the stopper 63. The turning switch sensor 61 is switched by the sensor action pin 60.

  By switching the turning switching sensor 61, first, a mild turning mode is set, and the control of the output control motor 67 drives the variable motor 2b via the variable pump 2a of the continuously variable transmission 2 for turning. Thus, the differential device 3 is operated to transmit from the large-diameter gear 37c of the steering clutch 37 to the axle gear 39 through the small-diameter gear 37a to perform a turning operation with a large turning radius.

Note that the rotation direction of the variable motor 2b is switched between the forward and reverse directions depending on the difference between the left side and the right side of the steering clutch 37.
Further, when the tilt angle of the lever arm 57 is increased, the brake turning mode is set and the differential device 3 is actuated by driving the continuously variable transmission 2 to perform a turning action with a medium turning radius. Further, when the tilt angle of the lever arm 57 is increased, the spin turn mode is set, the differential device 3 is operated by driving the continuously variable transmission 2, and the left and right axle gears 39 are rotated in opposite directions. A turning action with a small turning radius is performed.

  When the turning action by each turning mode is performed by the continuous tilting operation of the power steering lever 1, the speed of the left and right traveling crawlers 5 is calculated from the detection value of the left and right axle rotation sensors 50. When the speed difference between the left and right traveling crawlers 5 exceeds a preset value by the calculated value, the output of the variable motor 2b is prevented so that the speed difference is not increased beyond the set value by the output restricting means 71a of the controller 71. The number of rotations is regulated by detection of the output rotation sensor 69.

  In this way, by restricting the output rotation speed during the turning action, the tilt angle of the power steering lever 1 is large and the spin crawling 5 is performed at once, that is, the left and right traveling crawlers 5 move forward and backward separately. Therefore, it is possible to suppress a sudden turn with a large speed difference that occurs when the vehicle speed is high, protect the operator from danger, and prevent the airframe 22 from being damaged.

  The operation device 18 is provided with an operation wall 72 of an appropriate height that surrounds the operator seated on the operation seat 19 except for the entrance and exit, and an operation panel 73 is provided on the front and left upper surface portions of the operation wall 72. Arrange and configure.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the power steering lever is provided on the surface of the operation panel 73 so as to perform the lifting / lowering action of the cutting device 17 by the forward / backward tilting operation and the steering / turning action of the body 22 by the left / right tilting operation. 1 and a starter switch 74 of the engine 20 and each switch group 75, and a monitor display 6 for switching and displaying the operation state of each device as a basic setting screen A at a corner position. Make up.

  Each switch and dial group 76 are arranged in the outer row sequentially from the front end position of the left row of the operation panel 73 surface, and the main transmission lever 51 and the accelerator lever 77 for controlling the rotation of the engine 20 are arranged in the inner row. The sub-shift lever 78 for switching the sub-shift in the travel shift, the mowing mono-lever 79 for simultaneously turning on and off the actions of the mowing device 17 and the threshing device 11, and only the mowing device 17 are inserted at the upper end position of the lever 79. A cutting switch 79a to be cut is arranged and configured.

  At the rear end of the left side row of the operation panel 73, an auger turning lever 80 for turning the grain auger 10a, a grain discharging lever 81 for carrying out an out-of-machine discharging action, and the discharging The culvert processing device 12 is arranged and configured with a shampoo switching lever 82 for switching the culling processing device 12 to a knotter device or a cutter device.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the CPU is mainly arranged to control the calculation of the automatic circuit, and when it is detected that the speed difference between the left and right traveling crawlers 5 exceeds a set value, the traveling crawler at this time The controller 83 having a screen switching means 83a for displaying the speed of 5 on the screen is provided, the left and right axle rotation sensors 50 are connected to the input side of the controller 83, and the monitor display 6 is connected to the output side thereof. To make it up.

  The monitor display 6 normally has, for example, the state of the amount of grain stored in the Glen tank 10, the action state of the grain auger 10a that discharges the grain in the Glen tank 10 to the outside of the machine, the front and rear or the left and right of the body 22. The basic setting screen (basic screen) A is alternately displayed, such as the state of tilting to the right, the state of glow at the start of the engine 20, the state of the rotational speed of the engine 20, and the state of clogging of threshed waste.

  The speed of the left and right traveling crawlers 5 is calculated based on the detection value of the left and right axle rotation sensors 50, and when the calculated difference between the speeds of the left and right traveling crawlers 5 exceeds a preset value, the controller As shown in FIG. 10, the screen switching means 83a 83 switches the basic setting screen A to a speed display screen (display screen) B that displays the speeds of the left and right traveling crawlers 5 and a speed difference between the left and right traveling crawlers 5. Is restored to within the set value, the display returns to the basic setting screen A again.

  In this way, when the speed difference between the left and right traveling crawlers 5 exceeds the set value, the basic setting screen A of the monitor display 6 is switched to the speed display screen B of the crawler 5 so that the screen is displayed only when necessary. Since B can be used as an interrupt for the screen A, a monitor display for displaying the speed of the crawler 5 is not required, and the configuration is simplified and the cost can be reduced.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the CPU is mainly arranged to perform arithmetic control of the automatic circuit, and when the turning action by the tilting operation of the power steering lever 1 is detected, the left and right traveling crawlers 5 at this time A controller 84 having a screen switching means 84a for displaying the speed on the screen is provided. The turning switch sensor 61 and the left and right axle rotation sensors 50 are connected to the input side of the controller 84, and the monitor display is provided on the output side thereof. A device 6 is connected and configured.

  As described above, normally, in the monitor display 6 that displays the operation state of each device on the basic setting screen A, the tilting operation during the turning action by the power steering lever 1 is detected by the turning switching sensor 61 (see FIG. 3). ), The screen switching means 84a of the controller 84 switches from the basic setting screen A to the speed display screen B that displays the speeds of the left and right traveling crawlers 5 as shown in FIG. When elapses, the screen returns to the basic setting screen A again.

  As described above, when the turning action by the tilting operation of the power steering lever 1 is detected, the basic setting screen A of the monitor display 6 is switched to the speed display screen B of the left and right traveling crawlers 5 so that the Since the screen B can be shared with the screen A as an interrupt, a monitor display for displaying the speed of the crawler 5 is not required, and the configuration is simplified and the cost can be reduced.

  Further, as described above, in the case where steering and turning is performed by the differential device 3, the speed (or the number of rotations) of the left and right traveling crawlers 5 is displayed on the monitor display 6 as a graphic or the like as shown in FIG. Thus, the operator can easily recognize the speed of the left and right traveling crawlers 5.

  Further, as described above, when the speed (or the number of revolutions) of the left and right traveling crawlers 5 is displayed on the monitor display 6 as a graphic or the like, as shown in FIG. By allowing the operator to recognize, the recognition can be further enhanced.

  Thus, since the operator can easily recognize the speed of the left and right traveling crawlers 5, it is determined whether the traveling crawler 5 is in a straight traveling state or a direction correction state, and the turning mode is mild turning. Since it is possible to easily determine which of the brake turning and the spin turning, it is possible to accurately grasp the state of the traveling crawler 5 and to deal with fewer mistakes.

  As a result of such a response, when the power steering lever (or handle) 1 is used for correction or turning operation in the left-right direction, the traveling crawler 5 slips in a wet field or the like as in the conventional case, thereby hindering turning. In the state, the operation of increasing the speed difference between the left and right traveling crawlers 5 can avoid the trouble that the airframe 22 sinks from the soil surface and cannot escape. (Especially, troubles occur because the traveling crawler 5 on one side is stopped like a brake turn.)
