The center gear 65G and the side clutch gear 65H are disengaged via 65I, and the rotation of the engine 62 is not transmitted to the axle 65A. On the other hand, when the depression of the brake pedal 22 is released, the center gear 65G and the side clutch gear 65H are engaged via the left and right side clutches 65I, and the rotation of the engine 62 is transmitted to the axle 65A.

  When one side of the field is trimmed to the edge, the main transmission lever 16 is operated to the neutral position to stop the vehicle, the depression pedal 22 is depressed, and the center gear 65G and the side clutch gear 65H are connected via the side clutch 65I. The engagement is released and the rotation of the axle 65A is stopped.

  When the main transmission lever 16 is operated to the forward side again with the combine stopped, the output shaft 65C is driven by the output of the traveling hydraulic continuously variable transmission 66, and the cutting device 4 is driven via the cutting clutch 65F. Is done. At this time, since the left and right side clutches 65I are disengaged, the traveling device 2 is not driven forward and maintains a stopped state. With this configuration, the planted culm that remains in the reaping device 4 in a state where it has been cut and advanced to the edge of the cocoon can be reaped by operating the drive pedal 22 and the main transmission lever 16.

  Note that the mowing clutch 65F can be interlocked with the depression operation of the take-in pedal 22.

  That is, when the take-in pedal 22 is depressed, the output shaft 65C of the transmission 65 and the lateral transmission shaft 36A of the reaping device 4 are connected via the reaping clutch 65F, and the reaping device 4 is driven. On the other hand, when the depression of the take-in pedal 22 is released, the connection between the output shaft 65C of the transmission 65 and the lateral transmission shaft 36A of the cutting device 4 is released via the cutting clutch 65F and the driving of the cutting device 4 is stopped. To do.

  When cutting one side of the field to the edge, the main shift lever 16 is operated to the neutral position to stop the vehicle body. When the take-in pedal 22 is depressed with the combine stopped, the reaping device 4 is driven. At this time, since the main transmission lever 16 is moved to the neutral position, the traveling device 2 is not driven forward and maintains the stopped state.

<Driving and stopping the feed chain>
Next, a method for driving / stopping the feed chain 12B of this embodiment will be described.

(First feed chain drive method)
FIG. 11 illustrates a first driving method of the speed VF of the feed chain 12B. The horizontal axis indicates the traveling speed V of the traveling device 2 detected by the traveling speed sensor 66S, and V1 and V2 are first and second set values of the traveling speed V, respectively. The left vertical axis indicates the speed VF of the feed chain 12B detected by the feed chain speed sensor 10S, VF1 and VF2 are the first and second set values of the speed VF of the feed chain 12B, and the right vertical axis indicates the conveyance speed. The speed VH of the transport device 34 detected by the sensor 34S is shown, VH1 and VH2 are first and second set values of the transport speed VH, and VH1 and 2 are the first and second set values of the travel speed V of the travel device 2. It corresponds to the speed of V1,2.

  The solid line indicates the speed VF of the feed chain 12B, and the broken line indicates the speed VH of the transport device 34.

  First, the control device 85 determines whether or not there is an input from the mode switch 6B. If it is determined that there is no input from the mode switch 6B, the control device 85 determines the speed VH (conveyance speed sensor 34S) of the transport device 34. It is determined whether or not the input value from (1) is lower than the first set value VH1.

  When it is determined that the speed VH of the transport device 34 is lower than the first set value VH1, the speed VF of the feed chain 12B is controlled to the speed calculated by the following equation 1 as shown in the first state. Note that the transport speed VH of the transport device 34 with respect to the travel speed V of the travel device 2 varies depending on the gear position set by the auxiliary transmission lever 15.

Formula 1 VF = K × V
However, K = VH1 / V1
On the other hand, when it is determined that the speed VH of the conveying device 34 is equal to or higher than the first set value VF1, the speed VF of the feed chain 12B is calculated by the following equation 2 as shown in the second state. To control.

Formula 2 VF = VF1 + 1.5 to 2.5 × K × (V−V1)
However, K = (VH2-VH1) / (V2-V1)
Next, the control device 85 determines whether or not the speed VF of the feed chain 12B (input value of the feed chain speed sensor 10S) is lower than the second set value VH2 of the transport device 34.

  When it is determined that the speed VF of the feed chain 12B is lower than the second set value VH2 of the transport device 34, the speed VF of the feed chain 12B is set to the speed calculated by Expression 2 as shown in the second state. Control.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the speed VF of the feed chain 12B is equal to or higher than the second set value VH2 of the transport device 34, the speed VF of the feed chain 12B is set to the second set value VF2 as shown in the third state. To maintain.

(Second feed chain drive method)
FIG. 12 illustrates a second driving method of the speed VF of the feed chain 12B. The solid line indicates the speed VF of the feed chain 12B, the broken line indicates the speed VH of the transport device 34, the same members as those in the first driving method are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions are omitted.

  First, the control device 85 determines whether or not there is an input from the mode switch 6B. If it is determined that there is no input from the mode switch 6B, the control device 85 maintains the speed VF of the feed chain 12B in the first to third states. To do.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the mode switch 6B has been input, the speed VF of the feed chain 12B is controlled to the speed calculated by the following equation 3. The speed VF of the feed chain 12B can be increased / decreased within a range of 10 to 20% by the governing dial 6A.

Formula 3 VF = 0.25-0.5 * VH1
<How to open the top cover halfway>
Next, a method for opening the upper cover 50D in a half-open state will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the handling operation of the combine, the threshing part transport device 12 may be clogged with cereals. In order to eliminate clogging of cereals, it is necessary to suspend the handling operation, stop the engine 62, and perform a removing operation of pulling out the stuffed cereals from the threshing unit transporting device 12. In the removing operation, when the upper cover 50D is fully opened, the cereal grains that are not pulled out and are held by the threshing section transport device 12 fall from the threshing section transport apparatus 12 or enter the inside of the handling chamber 50. Since there is a possibility, it is preferable to pull out only the stuffed cereal with the upper cover 50D in a half-open state. Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper cover 50D can be held in a half-opened state, and the removal work of pulling out the stuffed cereals from the threshing section transport device 12 is facilitated.

  In the following description, the locked state of the first hook 50G means a state where the first hook 50G is engaged with the pin 50K, and the released state of the first hook 50G means that the upper cover 50D is rotated. Also means a state where the pin 50K is not engaged. The locked state of the second hook 50H refers to a state where the second hook 50H can be engaged with the pin 50N, and the released state of the second hook 50H refers to the pin 50N engaged even when the upper cover 50D rotates. The state that does not.

  In step S1, the control device 85 determines whether or not there is an input from the stop switch 6D. If it is determined that there is no input from the stop switch 6D, the control device 85 continues to drive the engine 62 and maintains the upper cover 50D in the closed state. To do.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that there is an input from the stop switch 6D, the process proceeds to step S2.

  In step S <b> 2, the control device 85 includes a reaping clutch 65 </ b> F provided between the engine 62 and the reaping device 4, a threshing clutch 90 </ b> A provided between the engine 62 and the threshing device 3, and the engine 62 and the glen tank 5. It is determined whether or not there is an input of the discharge clutch 97A provided therebetween, and there is no input of all the clutches of the cutting clutch 65F, the threshing clutch 90A, and the discharging clutch 97A, that is, the cutting clutch 65F and the threshing clutch 90A, If it is determined that all the clutches of the discharge clutch 97A have been released, the engine 62 continues to be driven and the upper cover 50D is kept closed.

  On the other hand, any of the reaping clutch 65F, the threshing clutch 90A, and the discharge clutch 97A has one clutch input, that is, any of the reaping clutch 65F, the threshing clutch 90A, and the discharge clutch 97A is connected to one clutch. When it is determined that the engine 62 is in the state, the process proceeds to step S3 and the drive of the engine 62 is stopped.

  In step S4, it is determined whether or not there has been an input from the mode switch 6B for switching between the normal cutting operation and the handling operation. If it is determined that there is no input from the mode switch 6B, that is, the normal cutting operation, the top cover 50D is kept closed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the mode switch 6B is input, that is, it is in the hand-operated working state, the process proceeds to step S5, and the first transmission motor 10C is driven to move the trunnion shaft 10F of the pressureless continuously variable transmission 10 to the neutral position. To stop the drive of the feed chain 12B, and the first motor 54 is driven to release the lock state of the first hook 50G and the pin 50K so that the upper cover 50D is opened halfway. In addition, the operator who has performed the handling operation notifies the operator who has boarded the cockpit 6 that the upper cover 50D is in a half-opened state and is working on the cereal entangled with the threshing section transport device 12. For this reason, it is preferable to sound a buzzer when the upper cover 50D is in a half-open state.

  In FIG. 20, the first motor 54 rotates in the clockwise direction, and the connecting arm 86 that connects the first motor 54 and the first hook 50 </ b> G moves from the upper side to the lower side of the first motor 54. Show.

<How to close the upper cover after half-opening>
Next, a method of closing the upper cover 50D after the upper cover 50D is half open will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In a state where the lock state of the first hook 50G and the pin 50K is released by driving the first motor 54, 54C standing on the arm 54B of the first motor 54 connects the first motor 54 and the first hook 50G. Since the first connecting arm 87 is engaged with the end of the long hole 87A opened, the first hook 50G is moved by the pulling operation to pull down the upper cover 50D, and the pin 50K is locked. I can't go back to it. In this state, as shown in FIG. 20, the marker portion 50R is positioned above the opening / closing lever 50E.

  Therefore, in order to move the first hook 50G by the pulling-down operation that lowers the upper cover 50D downward to return to the locked state with the pin 50K, the stop switch 6D is operated again, as shown in FIG. The first motor 54 is rotated counterclockwise, and the connecting arm 86 connecting the first motor 54 and the first hook 50G is moved from the lower side of the first motor 54 to the upper side. After releasing the engagement with the end of the long hole 87A of the one connecting arm 87, the first cover 50D and the pin 50K are locked and the upper cover 50D is closed by a pulling operation that lowers the upper cover 50D downward. Can be.

  In this state, as shown in FIG. 21, the marker unit 50R is positioned close to the upper side of the opening / closing lever 50E, and the stop switch 6D has an alternate operation in order to improve the operability of the stop switch 6D. It is preferable to employ a switch for performing the above.

  In the above-described embodiment, the stop switch 6D is operated again, the first motor 54 is rotated counterclockwise, and the connecting arm 86 is moved upward from the lower side of the first motor 54. The pin 54C of the first connecting arm 87 is disengaged from the end of the elongated hole 87A of the first connecting arm 87, but the first motor 54 is automatically turned off when a predetermined time elapses after the stop switch 6D is operated. By rotating clockwise, the connecting arm 86 is moved upward from below the first motor 54 to disengage the pin 54C of the first motor 54 from the end of the elongated hole 87A of the first connecting arm 87. It can also be made.

<How to restart the engine>
Next, a method for restarting the engine 62 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In step S6, the control device 85 determines whether or not the start switch 6E has been input. If it is determined that the start switch 6E has not been input, the control device 85 does not start the engine 62.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 6E has been input, the process proceeds to step S7.

  In step S7, the control device 85 determines whether there is an input from the threshing clutch 90A provided between the engine 62 and the threshing device 3, and there is an input from the threshing clutch 90A, that is, the threshing clutch 90A is connected. If it is determined that the engine is in the state, the engine 62 is not started.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no input of the threshing clutch 90A, that is, the connection of the threshing clutch 90A is released, the process proceeds to step S8.

  In step S8, the control device 85 determines whether or not there is an input from the half-opening detection sensor 120 provided in the threshing device 3, and when there is an input from the half-opening detection sensor 120, that is, when the upper cover 50D is determined to be in a half-open state. The engine 62 is not started.

  On the other hand, when there is no input from the half-open detection sensor 120, that is, when it is determined that the upper cover 50D is in the closed state or the fully open state, the process proceeds to step S9 and the engine 62 is started. The engine 62 is preferably started and stopped by opening and closing a supply valve (not shown) that supplies fuel to the engine 62.
