DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is provided with a sensor that detects the boundary between an untreated work area and a treated work area, and an azimuth sensor that detects the running direction of the vehicle body. A control means is provided for steering both the front wheels and the rear wheels of the vehicle body in order to drive the vehicle, and the control means is configured to steer both the front wheels and the rear wheels when the difference between the orientation detected by the orientation sensor and the reference orientation is larger than a permissible value. When the direction is corrected using the direction correction steering which operates the rear wheels at a different angle, and the sensor detecting the boundary detects a lateral shift between the vehicle body and the boundary, the front wheels and the rear wheels are adjusted. The present invention relates to an automatic traveling work vehicle configured to correct lateral displacement using a parallel steering wheel operated by a predetermined angle in the same direction.

Such automatic driving work vehicles correct lateral deviations by using parallel steering that does not change the running direction of the vehicle body, compared to steering that changes the running direction of the vehicle body even when correcting lateral deviations. , it is possible to accurately track the vehicle along the boundary, and the frequency of steering operations can be reduced, which is advantageous in terms of durability.

By the way, when the control means corrects the direction and the lateral deviation, only when the sensor that detects the boundary does not detect a lateral deviation between the vehicle body and the boundary.
In order to correct the azimuth using the azimuth correction steering, it is conceivable that the lateral shift correction is performed using the parallel displacement steering with priority over the azimuth correction using the azimuth correction steering.

However, if lateral deviation correction is given priority over azimuth correction, if the vehicle body is tilted significantly with respect to the longitudinal direction of the boundary, lateral deviation correction by parallel steering cannot be performed quickly, or in some cases, lateral deviation correction may not be possible quickly. There is a possibility that the deviation cannot be corrected.

To explain, since parallel steering operates the front wheels and rear wheels in the same direction by a predetermined angle, for example, the inclination of the vehicle body with respect to the longitudinal direction of the boundary and the predetermined angle of parallel steering are the same. In this case, the vehicle body simply travels along the boundary while keeping the amount of lateral deviation relative to the boundary constant. Therefore, as can be inferred from this, when the inclination of the vehicle body with respect to the longitudinal direction of the boundary is large, troubles arise in which the lateral deviation cannot be corrected quickly or the lateral deviation cannot be corrected.

本発明は、上記実状に鑑みて為されたものであ

The characteristic configuration of the automatic traveling work vehicle according to the present invention is such that the lateral shift correction by the parallel steering is performed only when the difference between the orientation detected by the orientation sensor and the reference orientation is within a tolerance. The control means is configured to perform azimuth correction by the azimuth correction steering with priority over lateral deviation correction by the parallel displacement steering, and its functions and effects are as follows.

In other words, when the direction correction by the direction correction steering is given priority over the lateral deviation correction by the parallel movement steering, and the difference between the direction detected by the direction sensor and the reference direction is within the tolerance, that is, the longitudinal direction of the boundary is Only when the inclination of the vehicle body with respect to the direction is small is the lateral shift correction performed using parallel steering.

Therefore, by rationally determining the priority order of azimuth correction and lateral deviation correction, it is possible to appropriately correct lateral deviation even if the vehicle body is tilted significantly with respect to the longitudinal direction of the boundary. As a result, it has become possible to avoid the above-mentioned troubles and to more accurately follow the boundary.
