Abstract
Description
即ち、本発明は、前後方向で前側を進行する第一作業車両と、第一作業車両の後側を進行する第二作業車両が同一方向に走行しながら作業を行う併走作業システムであって、前記第一作業車両の制御装置と前記第二作業車両の制御装置は通信装置を介して通信可能とするとともに、前記第一作業車両と第二作業車両にはそれぞれ枕地旋回検知手段が設けられ、前記第一作業車両が、枕地旋回領域に入ると、第一作業車両は走行及び作業を停止するように制御するものである。
本発明は、前記第二作業車両が枕地旋回を終了すると走行を停止するとともに、前記第二作業車両の枕地旋回終了信号が第一作業車両の制御装置に送信され、第一作業車両は旋回が許可されるものである。
本発明は、前記第一作業車両が枕地旋回を終了すると、枕地旋回終了信号が第二作業車両の制御装置に送信され、第二作業車両は走行及び作業の再開が許可されるものである。
本発明は、先行して前工程の作業を行う有人の第二作業車両と、後工程作業を行う無人の第一作業車両とにより作業を行う併走作業システムであって、前記第一作業車両には、衛星測位システムを利用して機体の位置を測位し、設定走行経路に沿って自動走行させる制御装置が備えられ、斜め前方を走行する第一作業車両には、斜め後方を走行する第二作業車両の進行方向の目印となるマーカーが備えられるものである。
前記併走作業システムにおいて、第一作業車両には第一衛星測位システムを搭載し、第二作業車両に持ち込む遠隔操作装置には前記第一衛星測位システムよりも精度の低い第二衛星測位システムを搭載し、第一衛星測位システムと第二衛星測位システムにより、第一作業車両と第二作業車両の現在位置を測位して、第一作業車両第二作業車両の位置を表示装置に表示する。
ジャイロセンサ31は第一作業車両1の機体前後方向の傾斜(ピッチ)の角速度、機体左右方向の傾斜(ロール)の角速度、および旋回(ヨー)の角速度、を検出するものである。該三つの角速度を積分計算することにより、第一作業車両1の機体の前後方向および左右方向への傾斜角度、および旋回角度を求めることが可能である。ジャイロセンサ31の具体例としては、機械式ジャイロセンサ、光学式ジャイロセンサ、流体式ジャイロセンサ、振動式ジャイロセンサ等が挙げられる。ジャイロセンサ31は制御装置30に接続され、当該三つの角速度に係る情報を制御装置30に入力する。
GPSは、元来航空機・船舶等の航法支援用として開発されたシステムであって、上空約二万キロメートルを周回する二十四個のGPS衛星(六軌道面に四個ずつ配置)、GPS衛星の追跡と管制を行う管制局、測位を行うための利用者の通信機で構成される。
GPSを用いた測位方法としては、単独測位、相対測位、DGPS(ディファレンシャルGPS)測位、RTK-GPS(リアルタイムキネマティック-GPS)測位など種々の方法が挙げられ、これらいずれの方法を用いることも可能であるが、本実施形態では測定精度の高いRTK-GPS測位方式(第一衛星測位システム)を採用し、第一作業車両1の現在位置を測位する。また、第二作業車両にはオペレータが遠隔操作装置112を持って乗り込み、遠隔操作装置112には通信機333とGPSアンテナ334とデータ通信アンテナ338が備えられ、相対測位(D-GPS測位、第二衛星測位システム)を可能として、安価なD-GPSセンサで前記RTK-GPS測位方式より精度は落ちるが第一作業車両1と遠隔操作装置112との間の相対位置を検出できるようにし、遠隔操作装置112の表示装置113で表示できるようにして、遠隔操作装置112を操作しながら、第一作業車両1と第二作業車両100との間の相対位置を把握して、近づき過ぎや離れ過ぎ等を容易に認識できるようにしている。
RTK-GPS(リアルタイムキネマティック-GPS)測位は、位置が判っている基準局と、位置を求めようとする移動局とで同時にGPS観測を行い、基準局で観測したデータを無線等の方法で移動局にリアルタイムで送信し、基準局の位置成果に基づいて移動局の位置をリアルタイムに求める方法である。
また、遠隔操作装置112と移動局との間でのD-GPS測位は、両点で単独測位が行われ、基準局において測位誤差を求め、その補正情報を遠隔操作装置112にデータ通信アンテナ338を介して送信し、補正して遠隔操作装置112の位置を求める。この遠隔操作装置112の位置と自律走行作業車両1の位置を表示装置113や表示手段49で表示できるようにし、相互の離間距離を演算するようにして、自律走行作業車両1と随伴走行作業車両100の相対位置を容易に認識できるようにしている。
また、前記第一作業車両1は遠隔操作装置112により遠隔操作可能としている。例えば、遠隔操作装置112の操作により第一作業車両1の緊急停止や一時停止や再発進や車速の変更やエンジン回転数の変更や作業機の昇降やPTOクラッチの入り切り等を操作できるようにしている。つまり、遠隔操作装置112から送受信機111、送受信機110、制御装置30を介してアクセルアクチュエータや変速手段44やPTO入切手段45等を制御し作業者が容易に第一作業車両1を遠隔操作できるのである。
また、枕地旋回を判断するために、作業機の昇降の代わりに作業機のPTOの入切を検知するPTO入切検知手段124を設けて、その入切の信号により枕地旋回の終了を判断してもよい(枕地旋回検知手段としてPTO入切検知手段の検出値で枕地旋回を判断する場合を第五実施例とする)。
また、枕地旋回を判断するために、作業走行速度の代わりに第二作業車両100のエンジン回転数を検知するエンジン回転数検知手段123を設けて、その回転数または回転数の増減により枕地旋回の終了を判断してもよい(枕地旋回検知手段としてエンジン回転数検知手段の検出値で枕地旋回を判断する場合を第八実施例とする)。
また、第二作業車両100に移動受信機、移動GPSアンテナ、データ受信アンテナを設けて、衛星測位システムにより第二作業車両100の位置情報を検出し、この位置情報を枕地旋回を検知する手段とすることもでき、枕地旋回が終了した位置が枕地旋回の終了と判断する(枕地旋回検知手段として衛星測位システムによる位置情報で枕地旋回を判断する場合を第九実施例とする)。
まず、図4に示すように、第二作業車両100は先行して1往復作業を終了させた後に枕地旋回して、圃場端で停止する。そして、第一作業車両1を圃場H内に進入させて作業開始位置に停止させる。このとき、第一作業車両1は第二作業車両100よりも前方に位置させ、マーカー70Rを張り出したときに第二作業車両100に当たらない位置とする。この両車両の位置で、オペレータは第二作業車両100に乗り込み、作業開始スイッチを操作して、第一作業車両1及び第二作業車両100による併走作業を開始する。なお、マーカー70Rの先端は第二作業車両100の左右中央に位置する。
作業が進んで、図5に示すように第一作業車両1が圃場端に至ると(S1)、作業を停止して、ロータリ耕耘装置24を上昇させ(S2)、一旦停止する(S3)。このロータリ耕耘装置24を上昇させると同時にマーカー70L・70Rも上昇させて収納させ、第二作業車両100の走行の邪魔にならないようにする。そして、走行を停止した待機位置において第二作業車両100の旋回終了を待つ。これは、先に第一作業車両1が枕地旋回して次の開始位置で停止すると、第二作業車両100が枕地旋回する手前で作業機同士が当接するおそれがあるためである。なお、前記作業の停止は、制御装置30がPTO入切手段45を作動させてPTO軸への動力を絶つ制御であり、前記作業機の上昇は制御装置30が昇降アクチュエータ25を作動させて昇降シリンダ26を伸長させる制御であり、前記走行停止は、制御装置30が変速手段44及び制動装置46を作動させて走行速度を0にする制御であり、作業機の下降は、制御装置30が昇降アクチュエータ25を作動させて昇降シリンダ26を縮小させる制御であり、以下作業の停止と作業機の上昇と作業機の下降と走行の停止は(第一作業車両1も第二作業車両100も)同様の制御が行われる。
第二作業車両100は作業を続けながら枕地旋回領域Uに入ると、作業機140を上昇させ枕地旋回を行う。第二作業車両100の旋回終了の判断は、第一実施例として、枕地旋回を第二作業車両100に設けた操向センサ120により検知する場合について説明する。他の第二実施例から第九実施例については前述のとおり同様に枕地旋回を判断でき、置き換えることができる。操向センサ120からの信号は制御装置130、通信装置133・111を介して遠隔操作装置112に送信され、遠隔操作装置112の制御装置が枕地旋回したか判断する(S4)。
第一作業車両1と第二作業車両100による旋回制御の第二実施形態について説明する。図7に示すように、制御装置30の記憶装置30mには、設定走行経路Rの圃場端側に枕地旋回領域Uが設定されている。第一作業車両1と第二作業車両100により作業が開始され、第一作業車両1が圃場端の枕地旋回領域Uに入ると、第一作業車両1の制御装置30は、変速手段44と制動装置46を作動させて走行を停止し、PTO入切手段45を作動させて作業を停止し、昇降アクチュエータ25を作動させてロータリ耕耘装置24を上昇させる。この時マーカー70も収納される。なお、第一作業車両1が枕地旋回領域Uに入ったかどうか(出たかどうか)は、衛星測位システムの第一作業車両1の位置情報から判断できる。
前記第二作業車両100の枕地旋回終了信号は第一作業車両1の制御装置30に送信され、第一作業車両1の枕地旋回が許可され、第一作業車両1は変速手段44を作動させて旋回速度で枕地旋回を開始する。前記第二作業車両100の枕地旋回の終了の判断は、前記第一実施例から第九実施例の検出手段で行われる。例えば、第一実施例では操向センサ120により、直進走行が設定距離続くと枕地旋回終了と判断される。
第一作業車両1と第二作業車両100が同じ設定走行経路Rを走行して、同じ作業または別の作業を行う場合で、第一作業車両1は無人で第二作業車両100は無人または有人とする旋回制御の第三実施形態について説明する。
図10に示すように、第一作業車両1と第二作業車両100にはそれぞれ移動受信機33・233、移動GPSアンテナ34・234、データ受信アンテナ38・238を設けて、衛星測位システムにより第一作業車両1と第二作業車両100のそれぞれの位置情報を検出できるようにし、第二作業車両100にも第一作業車両1と同様に、昇降アクチュエータ125、走行停止手段143、変速手段144、操舵アクチュエータ240、PTO入切手段245を設けて制御装置130と接続し、旋回時にオペレータが操作することなく、自動で第一作業車両1と第二作業車両100を旋回させるようにすることもできる。
前記第二作業車両100の枕地旋回終了信号は第一作業車両1の制御装置30に送信され、第一作業車両1の枕地旋回が許可され、第一作業車両1は変速手段44を作動させて旋回速度で枕地旋回を開始する。前記第二作業車両100の枕地旋回の終了の判断は、前記第一実施例から第九実施例のいずれかの検出手段で行われる。
