- For example, Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2014-136943 (PTL 1) discloses a hydraulic excavator equipped with a cab. A front corner of the cab is provided with a monitoring device having a flat display screen for performing various monitoring functions and a monitor for displaying the current position of the hydraulic excavator received from the outside.
- Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2008-8122 (PTL 2) discloses a hydraulic excavator equipped with an operator's cab. A right side of the cab is provided with a control panel. The control panel is installed with a monitor.
- PTL 1: Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2014-136943
- PTL 2: Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2008-8122
- In the hydraulic excavator disclosed in PTL 1, since the monitoring device and the monitor are disposed in a front corner of the cab, there is a long distance from the operator's seat to the monitoring device and the monitor. Therefore, an operator seated in the operator's seat may feel difficult to have a clear view of the monitoring device and the monitor.
- In the hydraulic excavator disclosed in PTL 2, the monitor is installed in the control panel provided on the right side of the cab. In this case, due to the structural reasons that the monitor is integrated with the side wall of the operator's cab, it is difficult to bring the monitor close to the operator's seat by a certain amount or more in the leftward and rightward direction. Therefore, the operator seated in the operator's seat may feel difficult to have a clear view of the monitor.
- It is therefore an object of the present disclosure to provide a cab which enables an operator a clear view of a display unit, and a work vehicle equipped with such a cab.
- A cab according to the present disclosure includes an operator's seat, a console, a control lever, and a display unit. The console is disposed on a lateral side of the operator's seat. The control lever is disposed in the console. The control lever is used to control a work implement. The display unit is disposed in the console. In a top view, the control lever and the display unit are disposed in this order from the operator's seat toward the outside.
- A work vehicle according to the present disclosure includes a cab and a work implement. The work implement is controlled by the control lever.
- According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a cab which enables an operator a clear view of the display unit, and a work vehicle equipped with such a cab.

FIGS. 8 to 10 , thedisplay screen 82 is disposed in a forward inclined posture in which theupper end 83 of thedisplay screen 82 is located in front of thelower end 84 of thedisplay screen 82 in the upward and downward direction. - The control lever 71 (71A) is disposed in a forward inclined posture in which the
upper end 74 of the control lever 71 (71A) is located in front of thelower end 75 of the control lever 71 (71A). The angle at which thedisplay screen 82 is inclined forward with respect to the vertical direction is larger than the angle at which the control lever 71 (71A) is inclined forward with respect to the vertical direction. The angle at which thedisplay screen 82 is inclined forward with respect to the vertical direction may be equal to or less than the angle at which the control lever 71 (71A) is inclined forward with respect to the vertical direction. - As illustrated in
FIG. 5 , thedisplay screen 82 is inclined with respect to the leftward and rightward direction so as to face the operator'sseat 31 in a top view. - As illustrated in
FIG. 8 , theupper end 83 of thedisplay screen 82 is located in front of the control lever 71 (71A). -
FIG. 11 is a perspective view illustrating the inside of the cab ofFIG. 1 .FIG. 11 illustrates a field of view of the operator seated on the operator'sseat 31 in the diagonally right forward direction. In the diagonally right forward direction of the operator, the fronttransparent member 46 and the fixed lateraltransparent member 48 are fixed in such a manner that they are joined to each other by abutting against each other. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 5 and 11 , in thecab 30, themonitor 81 is disposed in theconsole 61R in which acontrol lever 71 is disposed. In a top view, thecontrol lever 71 and themonitor 81 are disposed in this order from the operator'sseat 31 toward the outside. - With such a configuration, since the
monitor 81 is disposed in a range reachable by the operator seated on the operator'sseat 31, the operator may have a clear view of themonitor 81. When themonitor 81 is a touch panel, the operator may easily operate themonitor 81. Further, since the position where themonitor 81 is disposed is shifted from the position facing the operator in the forward and rearward direction, it is possible to prevent the movement of the operator to sit into or leave the operator'sseat 31 from being hindered by themonitor 81. - The
monitor 81 is disposed between theright side face 30C (the lateral transparent member 48) and thecontrol lever 71. Thus, when the operator monitors the operation of the work implement 12 through thefront face 30A and the right side face 30C, the operator may have themonitor 81 in sight without greatly moving his/her visual line. Thus, the operator may have a clear view of themonitor 81, or may have themonitor 81 in sight while having the work implement 12 in the field of view. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 9 and 11 , at least a part of thefirst height region 250 in which the control lever 71 (71A) is disposed and at least a part of thesecond height region 240 in which themonitor 81 is disposed overlap with each other. - With such a configuration, the visual line of the operator facing forward is prevented from being blocked by the
monitor 81, which makes it possible to improve the field of view of the operator in the forward direction. In particular, in thehydraulic excavator 100, since thebracket 41 is disposed at a position in the diagonally right forward direction of the operator instead of a frame member, and the fronttransparent member 46 and the lateraltransparent member 48 are supported by thebracket 41 or the fronttransparent member 46 and the lateraltransparent member 48 are joined to each other by abutting against each other, it is possible to improve the field of view of the operator in the diagonally right forward direction. Therefore, when the operator monitors the operation of the work implement 12 through the fronttransparent member 46 and the lateraltransparent member 48, it is possible to significantly improve the visibility of the work implement 12. - In addition, the visual line of the operator facing the
monitor 81 is prevented from being blocked by the control lever 71 (71A) or theconsole 61R. Therefore, the operator may have a further clear view of themonitor 81. Further, when themonitor 81 is a touch panel, the operator may move his/her hands from thecontrol lever 71 to reach themonitor 81 without great movements, which makes it possible to improve the operability of themonitor 81. - As illustrated in
FIG. 11 , thedisplay screen 82 is disposed in a forward inclined posture in which theupper end 83 of thedisplay screen 82 is located in front of thelower end 84 of thedisplay screen 82 in the upward and downward direction. Thus, thedisplay screen 82 faces the operator seated on the operator'sseat 31 in the forward and rearward direction, and thereby the operator may have a further clear view of themonitor 81. - The
display screen 82 is inclined with respect to the leftward and rightward direction so as to face the operator'sseat 31 in a top view. Thus, thedisplay screen 82 faces the operator seated on the operator'sseat 31 in the leftward and rightward direction, whereby the operator may have a further clear view of themonitor 81. - As illustrated in
FIGS. 8 and 11 , theupper end 83 of thedisplay screen 82 is disposed in front of the control lever 71 (71A). In this case, since thedisplay screen 82 is disposed in front of the control lever 71 (71A), the operator may have thedisplay screen 82 in sight without greatly moving his/her visual line when the operator is looking forward. Thus, the operator may have a further clear view of themonitor 81. - As illustrated in
FIG. 6 , in a front view, at least a part of themonitor 81 overlaps with thepillar member 43R. According to such a configuration, themonitor 81 may be disposed in a free space before or behind thepillar member 43R. Further, since themonitor 81 is disposed closer to theright side face 30C, it is possible to increase the screen size of themonitor 81 in a limited space between the right side face 30C and the operator'sseat 31. -
