On the other hand, no auxiliary shift operation is carried out if existence of a harvesting grain stem is detected by means of the grain stem sensing switch S1, and as a result, troubles in harvesting work can be prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a speed change operation device for a reaper equipped with a main transmission and a subtransmission.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a shift operating device of a harvester such as a combine harvester, for example, a hydrostatic continuously variable transmission (HS) is used.
By T), a continuously variable main transmission and an auxiliary transmission such as a high-speed and low-speed two-speed switching type transmission are formed, and the power after the speed change is transmitted to a crawler traveling device or the like. That is, by changing the swash plate angle of either the axial plunger type hydraulic pump or the hydraulic motor steplessly, the main speed change operation is executed, and the swash plate angle of the other fixed side is changed to high or low speed. By switching to the two positions, the sub-shift operation is performed. Conventionally, the speed change operation of the sub-transmission has been made possible even while the reaper and harvester is performing the reaping operation.

[0003]

However, if the sub-shifting operation is performed during the harvesting operation, for example, in a combine, the transport state of the harvested crop is disturbed, and the amount of the harvested crop fluctuates. In particular, when the sub-shift operation is performed to the speed increasing side, the engine or the like is overloaded, the transport speed is reduced, and the disturbance of the transport state is increased, and jamming occurs during the transport. And so on.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to prevent a problem in a harvesting operation of a reaper / harvester by a shift operation of a subtransmission device.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, in a reaper equipped with a main transmission and a sub-transmission, whether or not a reaping operation is in progress is detected. Although the shifting operation of the device is permitted, the shifting operation of the auxiliary transmission is prevented during the harvesting operation.

Accordingly, the sub-shift operation cannot be performed when a harvester such as a combine harvester is performing the harvesting operation. The amount fluctuates,
The post-processing of the harvested crop (threshing in the combine) becomes improper, or in particular, in the sub-shifting operation to the speed increasing side, the engine or the like becomes overloaded, the transport speed is reduced, and the above-mentioned transport state disturbance is caused. It is possible to appropriately prevent the problem that the sheet becomes large and clogging or the like occurs at a partway in the conveyance.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, it is detected that a cutting operation is in progress when a crop is present, and it is detected that no cutting operation is in progress when no crop is present.

Therefore, it is possible to accurately determine whether or not the harvesting operation is being performed based on the presence or absence of the harvested crop that is the object of the harvesting operation.

According to a third aspect, in the first or second aspect,
The sub-transmission speed is selected by the speed selection switch, and the sub-transmission is switched by the actuator so that the sub-transmission speed of the sub-transmission device becomes the selected speed.

Therefore, when the driver switches the sub-transmission speed, the driver only has to select the sub-transmission speed by operating the switch. For example, the driver manually operates the sub-transmission lever or the like mechanically linked to the sub-transmission. The effect of the invention according to claim 1 or 2 can be obtained while making it possible to easily perform the sub-shift operation with less labor than performing the sub-shift operation.
