When the speed is changed and the forward driven low speed gear 36F (L) is engaged, the speed is changed to the low speed side, and the speed change power is output to the main drive wheel output shaft 35.

また、前記主駆動輪出力軸35に連動連結する主ディファレンシャルギヤ機構40の左右の出力軸42はそれぞれ伝動ギヤ列を介して後輪5の車軸43と連動連結されている。主ディファレンシャルギヤ機構40の左右の出力軸42にはそれぞれ走行系ブレーキ機構45が設けられ、該走行系ブレーキ機構45により各出力軸42、つまり後輪5に独立して制動力を付加し得るようになっている。   Also, the left and right output shafts 42 of the main differential gear mechanism 40 that are linked to the main drive wheel output shaft 35 are linked to the axle 43 of the rear wheel 5 via a transmission gear train. Each of the left and right output shafts 42 of the main differential gear mechanism 40 is provided with a traveling system brake mechanism 45 so that the traveling system brake mechanism 45 can independently apply a braking force to each output shaft 42, that is, the rear wheel 5.

The control unit 100 includes a CPU, RAM, ROM, and the like, and a control program is stored in the ROM.

本実施の形態においては、前記傾倒位置検出手段102は、静油圧式無段変速機構10の油圧ポンプ11に備えられた出力調整部材に設けられた制御軸の回動角度をポテンショメータ等により検出することで、当該制御軸を回動軸とする可動斜板15の傾倒位置を検出するように構成されている。   In the present embodiment, the tilt position detecting means 102 detects the rotation angle of the control shaft provided in the output adjusting member provided in the hydraulic pump 11 of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 by a potentiometer or the like. Thus, the tilt position of the movable swash plate 15 having the control axis as a rotation axis is detected.

Composed.

ブレーキ作動検出手段105は、ブレーキ機構45の操作手段としてのブレーキペダルの操作位置をその基部に配設したポテンショメータ等により検出することで、該ブレーキ機構45の作動状態を検出するように構成されている。   The brake operation detection means 105 is configured to detect an operation state of the brake mechanism 45 by detecting an operation position of a brake pedal as an operation means of the brake mechanism 45 by a potentiometer or the like disposed at a base thereof. Yes.

駐車ブレーキ作動検出手段106は、駐車ブレーキ機構としての駐車ブレーキレバーの操作位置をその基部に配設したポテンショメータ等により検出することで、ブレーキ機構45からなる駐車ブレーキ機構の作動状態を検出するように構成されている。   The parking brake operation detecting means 106 detects the operation state of the parking brake mechanism including the brake mechanism 45 by detecting the operation position of the parking brake lever as a parking brake mechanism with a potentiometer or the like disposed at the base thereof. It is configured.

変速アクチュエータ111は、油圧シリンダで構成され、主変速操作手段の操作位置に対応して制御手段100から出力される制御信号に基づいて切り換えられる電磁弁により作動され、出力調整部材の可動斜板15を傾倒させて、静油圧式無段変速機構10を変速可能とするようになっている。この変速時には前記傾倒位置検出手段102で検出される傾倒位置が制御手段100で設定された傾倒位置となるように制御される。   The speed change actuator 111 is constituted by a hydraulic cylinder, and is operated by an electromagnetic valve that is switched based on a control signal output from the control means 100 corresponding to the operation position of the main speed change operation means, and the movable swash plate 15 of the output adjusting member. Is inclined so that the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 can be shifted. At this speed change, the tilt position detected by the tilt position detecting means 102 is controlled to be the tilt position set by the control means 100.

前後進切換アクチュエータ112は、油圧クラッチで構成され、前後進切換操作手段の操作位置に対応して制御手段100から出力される制御信号に基づいて切り換えられる電磁弁により作動され、前後進切換機構30でハウジング31と前進側駆動部材32Fまたは後進側駆動部材32Rとの動力伝達を係合または解除し、前進状態と後進状態と中立状態とを切換可能とするようになっている。   The forward / reverse switching actuator 112 is constituted by a hydraulic clutch, and is operated by an electromagnetic valve that is switched based on a control signal output from the control means 100 corresponding to the operation position of the forward / reverse switching operation means. Thus, the power transmission between the housing 31 and the forward drive member 32F or the reverse drive member 32R is engaged or released so that the forward state, the reverse state, and the neutral state can be switched.

ブレーキアクチュエータ113は、油圧シリンダで構成され、ブレーキペダルの操作位置または後述の制御に応じて制御手段100から出力される制御信号に基づいて切り換えられる電磁弁により作動され、出力軸42に適切な制動力を付加して、後輪5を制動可能とするようになっている。   The brake actuator 113 is composed of a hydraulic cylinder, and is operated by an electromagnetic valve that is switched based on the operation position of the brake pedal or a control signal output from the control means 100 in accordance with the control described later, and controls the output shaft 42 appropriately. Power is applied so that the rear wheel 5 can be braked.

但し、前記アクチュエータは油圧シリンダや油圧クラッチに限定するものではなく、電動モータや電動シリンダや電磁クラッチ等で構成することも可能であり、限定するものではない。   However, the actuator is not limited to a hydraulic cylinder or a hydraulic clutch, but can be constituted by an electric motor, an electric cylinder, an electromagnetic clutch, or the like, and is not limited.

そして、前述のように静油圧式無段変速機構10と遊星ギヤ機構20とによる変速にて作業車両1の変速比が変更される構成で、図4に示すように、該静油圧式無段変速機構10の変速比がゼロとなる、つまり油圧ポンプ11に備えた出力調整部材の可動斜板15が中立位置となるとき、作業車両1の変速比がゼロではなく、前後進切換機構30の前進状態または後進状態への切換に応じて所定変速比V1・V2となるように設定されている。   Then, as described above, the gear ratio of the work vehicle 1 is changed by the shift by the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 and the planetary gear mechanism 20, and as shown in FIG. When the speed ratio of the speed change mechanism 10 is zero, that is, when the movable swash plate 15 of the output adjusting member provided in the hydraulic pump 11 is in the neutral position, the speed ratio of the work vehicle 1 is not zero and the forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 The predetermined gear ratios V1 and V2 are set in accordance with switching to the forward or reverse state.

さらに、静油圧式無段変速機構10の変速比が所定変速比R1となる、つまり油圧ポンプ11に備えた出力調整部材の可動斜板15が中立位置ではなく、所定の傾倒位置となるとき、作業車両1の変速比がゼロとなり、その走行速度がゼロとなるように設定されている。このときの可動斜板15の所定の傾倒位置が、作業車両1の走行速度がゼロとなる傾倒位置である。   Further, when the gear ratio of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 is a predetermined gear ratio R1, that is, when the movable swash plate 15 of the output adjusting member provided in the hydraulic pump 11 is not in a neutral position but in a predetermined tilt position, The speed ratio of the work vehicle 1 is set to zero, and the traveling speed is set to zero. The predetermined tilt position of the movable swash plate 15 at this time is the tilt position where the traveling speed of the work vehicle 1 becomes zero.

このような構成において、作業車両1の前進または後進走行時に、ブレーキ機構45を用いて作業車両1が減速される場合、ブレーキペダル等のブレーキ操作手段の操作によりブレーキ機構45が作動状態となると、前後進切換機構30が中立状態に切り換えられ、走行速度検出手段104により減速される走行速度が検出されて制御手段100に入力され、その走行速度に相当する変速比となるように変速アクチュエータ111が作動されて、静油圧式無段変速機構10の油圧ポンプ11に備えた出力調整部材の可動斜板15が傾倒される。   In such a configuration, when the work vehicle 1 is decelerated using the brake mechanism 45 during forward or reverse travel of the work vehicle 1, when the brake mechanism 45 is activated by operation of a brake operation means such as a brake pedal, The forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 is switched to the neutral state, the traveling speed decelerated by the traveling speed detecting means 104 is detected and input to the control means 100, and the speed change actuator 111 is adjusted so that the gear ratio corresponding to the traveling speed is obtained. When actuated, the movable swash plate 15 of the output adjusting member provided in the hydraulic pump 11 of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 is tilted.

この減速途中で、ブレーキ操作手段の操作が解除されると、ブレーキが操作されていた時点の走行速度にあった傾倒位置に、可動斜板15が傾倒されており、ブレーキ操作が解除されると、前記前後進切換機構が中立状態から元に復帰するために、走行動力が伝達されるので、作業車両はエンジンブレーキが掛かった状態となる。また、ブレーキ操作手段を操作した状態からその操作が解除され、主変速操作手段が操作された場合には、ブレーキが操作されていた時点の走行速度にあった傾倒位置に可動斜板15が傾倒されており、ブレーキ操作が解除されると、前記前後進切換機構が中立状態から元に復帰するために、走行動力が伝達されるので、減速または増速のショックを受けることなくスムースに変速が可能となる。この際、前記ブレーキ作動検出手段105によりブレーキ機構45の作動状態が検出されている。 When the operation of the brake operating means is canceled during the deceleration, the movable swash plate 15 is tilted to the tilt position corresponding to the traveling speed at the time when the brake was operated , and the brake operation is released. Since the traveling power is transmitted in order for the forward / reverse switching mechanism to return to the original state from the neutral state, the work vehicle is in an engine brake state. Further, when the operation is released from the state where the brake operation means is operated and the main speed change operation means is operated , the movable swash plate 15 is tilted to the tilt position corresponding to the traveling speed at the time when the brake was operated. When the brake operation is released, the forward / reverse switching mechanism returns to the original state from the neutral state, so that the traveling power is transmitted. Therefore, the speed change can be smoothly performed without receiving a deceleration or acceleration shock. It becomes possible. At this time, the operating state of the brake mechanism 45 is detected by the brake operation detecting means 105.

また、減速途中で解除することなくブレーキ操作手段の操作で作業車両1が停止され、ブレーキ機構45が作動状態で、走行速度検出手段104により走行速度がゼロであることが検出されると、制御手段100からの制御信号により前後進切換アクチュエータ112が作動され、エンジン6から駆動輪への動力伝達が解除される。つまり、後輪5が駆動されない状態とされる。   Further, when the work vehicle 1 is stopped by operating the brake operating means without being released during deceleration, the brake mechanism 45 is in an operating state, and the travel speed detecting means 104 detects that the travel speed is zero, the control The forward / reverse switching actuator 112 is actuated by the control signal from the means 100, and the power transmission from the engine 6 to the drive wheels is released. That is, the rear wheel 5 is not driven.

この変速アクチュエータ111にて出力調整部材の可動斜板15が、作業車両1の変速比がゼロとなる、すなわち走行速度がゼロとなる傾倒位置に制御されたときの静油圧式無段変速機構10の変速比は、図4に示す所定の変速比R1となる。   The hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 when the movable swash plate 15 of the output adjusting member is controlled to the tilt position where the speed ratio of the work vehicle 1 becomes zero, that is, the traveling speed becomes zero, by the speed change actuator 111. Is a predetermined speed ratio R1 shown in FIG.

また、作業車両1の前進または後進走行時に、前後進切換機構30を用いて作業車両1が減速される場合、すなわち前後進切換レバーやクラッチペダル等の前後進切換操作手段の操作により前後進切換機構30が中立状態に切り換えられ慣性力による減速が行われる場合、走行速度検出手段104により減速される走行速度が検出されて制御手段100に入力され、その走行速度に相当する変速比となるように変速アクチュエータ111が作動されて、静油圧式無段変速機構10の油圧ポンプ11に備えた出力調整部材の可動斜板15が傾倒される。減速途中で前後進切換操作手段の操作を解除した場合は前記と同様に制御される。   Also, when the work vehicle 1 is decelerated using the forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 during forward or reverse travel of the work vehicle 1, that is, forward / reverse switching is performed by operating a forward / reverse switching operation means such as a forward / reverse switching lever or a clutch pedal. When the mechanism 30 is switched to the neutral state and is decelerated by the inertial force, the traveling speed decelerated by the traveling speed detecting means 104 is detected and input to the control means 100 so that the gear ratio corresponding to the traveling speed is obtained. Then, the shift actuator 111 is actuated to tilt the movable swash plate 15 of the output adjusting member provided in the hydraulic pump 11 of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10. When the operation of the forward / reverse switching operation means is canceled during deceleration, the same control as described above is performed.

そして、作業車両1が停止され、走行速度検出手段104により走行速度がゼロであることが検出されると、制御手段100からの制御信号により変速アクチュエータ111が作動されて、該変速アクチュエータ111にて出力調整部材の可動斜板15が、作業車両1の変速比がゼロとなる、すなわち走行速度がゼロとなる傾倒位置に制御される。このときの静油圧式無段変速機構10の変速比は、図4に示す所定の変速比R1となる。   When the work vehicle 1 is stopped and the traveling speed detecting means 104 detects that the traveling speed is zero, the speed change actuator 111 is actuated by a control signal from the control means 100, and the speed change actuator 111 The movable swash plate 15 of the output adjusting member is controlled to the tilt position where the gear ratio of the work vehicle 1 becomes zero, that is, the traveling speed becomes zero. The gear ratio of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 at this time is a predetermined gear ratio R1 shown in FIG.

このようにして、ブレーキ機構45の作動もしくは前後進切換操作手段の操作による中立状態への切換によって、作業車両1が減速された後、確実に停止され、走行速度がゼロである状態で、走行を再開するために、前後進切換操作手段の操作により前後進切換機構30が中立状態から前進状態または後進状態に切り換えられると、即座に再発進可能とされている。   In this way, after the work vehicle 1 is decelerated by the operation of the brake mechanism 45 or the switching to the neutral state by the operation of the forward / reverse switching operation means, the work vehicle 1 is decelerated and stopped in a state where the traveling speed is zero. Therefore, when the forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 is switched from the neutral state to the forward state or the reverse state by the operation of the forward / reverse switching operation means, the vehicle can immediately restart again.

また、ブレーキ機構45の作動もしくは前後進切換操作手段を操作して前後進切換機構30を中立状態に切り換えて、作業車両が停止された状態で、駐車ブレーキレバー等の駐車ブレーキ機構の操作手段が操作されると、制御手段100からの制御信号によりブレーキアクチュエータ113が作動されて、該ブレーキアクチュエータ113にて走行系ブレーキ機構45の作動状態が保持される。つまり、駐車状態となって、駐車ブレーキ機構が作動状態とされる。   In addition, when the work vehicle is stopped by operating the brake mechanism 45 or operating the forward / reverse switching operation means to switch the forward / backward switching mechanism 30 to the neutral state, the operation means of the parking brake mechanism such as the parking brake lever is provided. When operated, the brake actuator 113 is actuated by a control signal from the control means 100, and the operating state of the traveling system brake mechanism 45 is held by the brake actuator 113. That is, the parking state is established and the parking brake mechanism is activated.

これによって、駐車ブレーキ作動検出手段106で駐車ブレーキが作動状態であることが検出されると、制御手段100からの制御信号により変速アクチュエータ111が作動されて、該変速アクチュエータ111にて出力調整部材の可動斜板15が、静油圧式無段変速機構10の変速比がゼロとなる中立位置に制御される。このとき、作業車両1の変速比はゼロからV1もしくはV2となるが、前後進切換機構30が中立状態であるので、確実に停止した状態となる。   Thus, when the parking brake operation detecting means 106 detects that the parking brake is in an operating state, the speed change actuator 111 is operated by the control signal from the control means 100, and the speed change actuator 111 detects the output adjusting member. The movable swash plate 15 is controlled to a neutral position where the gear ratio of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 is zero. At this time, the gear ratio of the work vehicle 1 changes from zero to V1 or V2, but since the forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 is in the neutral state, the work vehicle 1 is surely stopped.

したがって、静油圧式無段変速機構10では、油圧ポンプ11に作動油が流れなくなり、その吐出量がゼロとなって、油圧モータ12が停止される。これにより、静油圧式無段変速機構10にかかる負荷が軽減され、駐車時におけるトルクの損失や燃焼消費量の低減、さらに作業車両1の騒音の抑制が図られる。   Therefore, in the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10, hydraulic oil does not flow to the hydraulic pump 11, the discharge amount becomes zero, and the hydraulic motor 12 is stopped. Thereby, the load applied to the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 is reduced, torque loss and combustion consumption during parking are reduced, and noise of the work vehicle 1 is further suppressed.

また、前記変速装置4では、駐車ブレーキ機構(ブレーキ機構45)での焼き付き等のために、作業車両1が走行して、駐車ブレーキ作動検出手段106により駐車ブレーキ機構が作動状態であることが検知されているにもかかわらず、制御手段100にて作業車両1が走行状態であることが検知された場合、フェールセーフ機能として可動斜板15が中立位置から走行速度がゼロとなる傾倒位置に制御される。   In the transmission 4, the work vehicle 1 travels due to seizure of the parking brake mechanism (brake mechanism 45), and the parking brake operation detecting means 106 detects that the parking brake mechanism is in an operating state. However, when the control means 100 detects that the work vehicle 1 is in the traveling state, the movable swash plate 15 is controlled from the neutral position to the tilted position where the traveling speed becomes zero as a fail-safe function. Is done.

これによって、駐車ブレーキが作動状態であることが検知されている場合には、作業車両1が確実に停車状態に保持されるように図られている。なお、作業車両1の走行状態は、走行速度検出手段104により設定値、たとえば100mm/h以上の走行速度が検出された場合に検知される。また、このような制御が行われとき、駐車ブレーキ機構の異常を運転席近傍などに備えた警報装置により音や光で報知するように構成することも可能である。   Thus, when it is detected that the parking brake is in an operating state, the work vehicle 1 is designed to be surely held in the stopped state. The traveling state of the work vehicle 1 is detected when the traveling speed detecting means 104 detects a set value, for example, a traveling speed of 100 mm / h or more. Further, when such control is performed, it is possible to notify the abnormality of the parking brake mechanism by sound or light by an alarm device provided near the driver's seat or the like.

以上のように、油圧ポンプ11と油圧モータ12の少なくとも一方を可動斜板15による可変容量型とする静油圧式無段変速機構10と、遊星ギヤ機構20とにより変速を行う作業車両1の変速装置4であって、走行状態を前進状態と後進状態と中立状態とに切り換える前後進切換機構30と、駆動輪である後輪5を制動するブレーキ機構45と、前記静油圧式無段変速機構10を変速する変速アクチュエータ111と、前記前後進切換機構30を切り換える前後進切換アクチュエータ112と、前記ブレーキ機構45を作動させるブレーキアクチュエータ113と、これらのアクチュエータを制御する制御手段100とを備える作業車両1の変速装置4において、前記ブレーキ機構45の作動状態を検出するブレーキ作動検出手段105と、走行速度を検出する走行速度検出手段104とを設けて、これらの検出手段を前記制御手段100と接続し、走行時に前記ブレーキ機構45が作動状態になると、前記前後進切換機構30にて走行状態を中立状態に切り換えて、前記静油圧式無段変速機構10の油圧ポンプ11に備えた出力調整部材の可動斜板15を、走行速度に合わせた傾倒位置に傾倒制御するように構成したことから、作業車両1をブレーキ機構45の作動により減速した場合に、作業車両1の走行速度に合わせて可動斜板15が傾倒され、減速途中または停止した後に、前進または後進走行を再開するために、前後進切換機構30の切換操作を行うと、ショックを伴うことなく即座に再発進することが可能となる。   As described above, at least one of the hydraulic pump 11 and the hydraulic motor 12 is a variable displacement type using the movable swash plate 15, and the shift of the work vehicle 1 that performs a shift by the planetary gear mechanism 20 is performed. The device 4 includes a forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 that switches a traveling state between a forward state, a reverse state, and a neutral state, a brake mechanism 45 that brakes the rear wheel 5 that is a drive wheel, and the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism. A work vehicle including a speed change actuator 111 that changes speed 10, a forward / reverse switching actuator 112 that switches the forward / backward switching mechanism 30, a brake actuator 113 that operates the brake mechanism 45, and a control means 100 that controls these actuators. Brake transmission detecting means 105 for detecting the operating state of the brake mechanism 45 in one transmission 4; A traveling speed detecting means 104 for detecting a traveling speed is provided, and these detecting means are connected to the control means 100. When the brake mechanism 45 is activated during traveling, the forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 operates the traveling state. And the movable swash plate 15 of the output adjusting member provided in the hydraulic pump 11 of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 is controlled to be tilted to the tilting position according to the traveling speed. When the work vehicle 1 is decelerated by the operation of the brake mechanism 45, the movable swash plate 15 is tilted in accordance with the travel speed of the work vehicle 1, and in order to resume forward or reverse travel during deceleration or after stopping, When the switching operation of the forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 is performed, it is possible to immediately restart without a shock.

また、前記作業車両1の変速装置4において、前記制御手段100に前後進切換機構30の切換状態を検出する前後進切換検出手段103を接続し、走行時に前記前後進切換機構30にて走行状態を中立状態に切り換えると、前記静油圧式無段変速機構10の油圧ポンプ11に備えた出力調整部材の可動斜板15を、走行速度に合わせた傾倒位置に傾倒制御するように構成したことから、前後進切換機構30にて走行状態を中立状態にして、作業車両の走行を停止した場合に、前進または後進走行を再開するために、前後進切換機構30の切換操作を行うと、即座に再発進することが可能となる。   Further, in the transmission 4 of the work vehicle 1, the forward / reverse switching detection means 103 for detecting the switching state of the forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 is connected to the control means 100, and the traveling state is detected by the forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 during traveling. Is switched to the neutral state, the movable swash plate 15 of the output adjusting member provided in the hydraulic pump 11 of the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 is controlled to be tilted to the tilt position according to the traveling speed. When the forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 is set to the neutral state and the traveling of the work vehicle is stopped, the switching operation of the forward / reverse switching mechanism 30 is immediately performed in order to resume the forward or reverse traveling. It will be possible to start again.

また、前記作業車両1の変速装置4において、前記制御手段100に駐車ブレーキ機構の作動状態を検出する駐車ブレーキ作動検出手段106を接続し、前記駐車ブレーキ機構が作動状態となると、前記静油圧式無段変速機構10の油圧ポンプ11に備えた出力調整部材の可動斜板15を、中立位置に制御するように構成したことから、駐車時に静油圧式無段変速機構10にかかる負荷を軽減して、トルクの損失や燃焼消費量の低減、騒音の抑制を図ることができる。   Further, in the transmission 4 of the work vehicle 1, when the parking brake operation detecting means 106 for detecting the operating state of the parking brake mechanism is connected to the control means 100 and the parking brake mechanism is in the operating state, the hydrostatic type Since the movable swash plate 15 of the output adjusting member provided in the hydraulic pump 11 of the continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 is controlled to the neutral position, the load applied to the hydrostatic continuously variable transmission mechanism 10 during parking is reduced. Thus, it is possible to reduce torque loss, combustion consumption, and noise.
