Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-042530
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004]
 In the tractor disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-042530, the interlocking swing arm does not swing unless the load receiving portion swings by a predetermined amount or more. In other words, unless the pulling load reaches a predetermined amount or more, the operational sensitivity of the three-point link mechanism is not improved. Therefore, there is room for improvement in improving the operation sensitivity.
[0005]
 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a tractor capable of controlling the lifting and lowering of a working device with high sensitivity in accordance with the towing load.
Means to solve problems
[0006]
 A tractor according to the present invention includes a three-point link mechanism that is vertically swingably connected to a rear portion of a vehicle body and that mounts a work device so that it can be lifted and lowered, a hydraulic unit that can swing the three-point link mechanism, and the work device. a load receiving portion that swings according to the traction load of the work device when performing ground work while being towed by the vehicle body; A link mechanism for transmitting an operation amount is provided, and is provided on the uppermost side of the link mechanism and interlocks with the swinging motion of the load receiving portion with a swinging axis different from the swinging shaft center of the load receiving portion. The load receiving portion is provided with a first portion that presses the interlocking swing arm, and the interlocking swing arm is in contact with the first portion to contact the first portion. A second part pressed by the first part is provided, and a contact position between the first part and the second part is changeable.
[0007]
 According to the present invention, the load receiving portion and the interlocking swing arm swing about their respective swing axes, and the contact position between the first portion and the second portion can be changed. Therefore, by changing the contact position, the link mechanism can amplify the swing amount of the load receiving portion. Further, since the interlocking swing arm is provided on the uppermost side of the link mechanism, the interlocking swing arm swings when the load receiving portion starts swinging. Since the contact position between the first part and the second part can be changed in this state, the link mechanism can amplify the swing amount of the load receiving part from the stage when the load receiving part starts to swing. Therefore, the operational sensitivity of the three-point link mechanism is improved as compared with a configuration in which the interlocking swing arm does not swing unless the load receiving portion swings by a predetermined amount or more. As a result, a tractor capable of controlling the lifting and lowering of the work implement with high sensitivity according to the towing load is realized.
[0008]
 In the present invention, one of the first part and the second part is a rocking member, and the other of the first part and the second part is a plurality of rocking members capable of receiving and locking the rocking member. It is preferable that, in the engaging portion formed with recesses, the swinging member is provided with a positioning mechanism for positioning a swinging angle when engaging with the plurality of recesses.
[0009]
 According to this configuration, the combination of the swinging member and the engaging portion constitutes the combination of the first portion and the second portion, and the swinging member engages with the concave portion of the engaging portion. Further, when the swinging member engages with any one of the plurality of recesses, the swinging angle of the swinging member is held by the positioning mechanism. Therefore, the contact position between the first part and the second part is held without shifting to an unintended position. As a result, the interlocking swing arm can more preferably amplify the amount of swing of the load receiving portion.
[0010]
 In the present invention, it is preferable that the positioning mechanism can position the swing member at an angle orthogonal to the swing angle of the load receiving portion.
[0011]
 With this configuration, the angle at which the swing member is positioned includes an angle orthogonal to the swing angle of the load receiving portion. That is, the swinging range of the swinging member is set to a range close to an angle orthogonal to the swinging angle of the load receiving portion. Therefore, the swing member can firmly receive the reaction force from the locking portion. As a result, the rocking member can suitably press the engaging portion. It should be noted that the "perpendicular angle" in the present invention is not limited to a strict perpendicular angle, and includes an approximately perpendicular angle.

 本発明において、前記揺動部材の遊端部に、前記複数の凹部への係入が可能なピンが設けられ、前記係止部に、前記複数の凹部が連続で並ぶように前記複数の凹部を包含する共通凹部が形成され、前記ピンは、前記共通凹部を通過して前記複数の凹部の何れか一つに係入すると好適である。
[0013]
 本構成によると、共通凹部に複数の凹部が形成され、この複数の凹部に揺動部材のピンが係入する。また、ピンが前記共通凹部を通過して前記複数の凹部の何れか一つに係入するため、共通凹部がピンと複数の凹部との隙間空間として形成されている。このことから、作業者が揺動部材の揺動角度を変更する際、共通凹部の隙間空間でピンが揺動する構成が可能となり、揺動角度変更操作が一層容易になる。
[0014]
 本発明において、前記リンク機構に、前記負荷受け部が前記牽引負荷の大きい側に揺動するほど、前記リンク機構のうちの下手側の機構の変位量が大きくなるように動作する感度変更部が備えられていると好適である。
[0015]
 作業装置の牽引負荷が大きくなるほど、負荷受け部の揺動量が大きくなる。作業装置の牽引負荷が大きくなると、牽引負荷を低減させるために、作業装置が積極的に上昇制御されることが望ましい。本構成であれば、負荷受け部の揺動量が大きくなるほど、リンク機構のうちの下手側の機構の変位量が大きくなる。これにより、作業装置が積極的に上昇制御されて牽引負荷が速やかに低減され、牽引負荷の上昇に起因する作業装置の破損やエンジンのストールが好適に防止される。
[0016]
 本発明において、前記リンク機構のうち前記連動揺動アームよりも下手側に、前記第1部及び前記第2部によるリンク比変化率よりも小さなリンク比変化率にリンク比を変更するリンク比変更部が備えられていると好適である。

[0024]
 The operation unit 7 is arranged at the rear part of the vehicle body and is configured so that an operator can get on it. A driving unit 7 is provided with a steering wheel 10 and a driver's seat 11 . An operator can sit on the driver's seat 11 . A steering wheel 10 is provided in front of a driver's seat 11 , and an operator manually operates the steering wheel 10 to steer a pair of left and right front wheels 1 . Rear fenders 8 are arranged on the left and right sides of the driver's seat 11, respectively, on the outer sides of the vehicle body, and the rear fenders 8 cover the left and right rear wheels 2 from above. The transmission case 6 is arranged below the driver's seat 11 . The driver's seat 11 is positioned between the pair of left and right rear wheels 2 in a plan view and a front-rear direction view.
[0025]
 A three-point link mechanism 12 is connected to the rear portion of the transmission case 6 so as to be capable of swinging up and down. The working device 15 shown in FIG. 1 is a plow. The work device 15 may be, for example, a rotary tillage device, a disk harrow, a cultivator, a subsoiler, or the like.
[0026]
 A three-point link mechanism 12 is provided with a single top link 13 and left and right lower links 14 . The lower link 14 is connected to the lower rear portion of the transmission case 6 so as to be able to swing about the swing axis Y1. A load receiving portion 30 is connected to the rear upper portion of the transmission case 6, and the top link 13 is connected to the load receiving portion 30 so as to be able to swing about the swing axis Y2. The load receiving portion 30 will be described later.
[0027]
 The three-point link mechanism 12 is vertically driven by a hydraulically driven lift arm 16 . Specifically, one end of the link member 19 is pivotally connected to the tip of the lift arm 16 with a pin, and the other end of the link member 19 is pivotally connected to the lower link 14 with a pin.
[0028]
 リフトアーム16は、不図示の油圧アクチュエータの駆動に基づいて、揺動軸芯Xまわりに上下揺動可能に構成されている。そして、リフトアーム16の上下揺動に伴ってロアリンク14が上下揺動する。作業装置15と連結されたトップリンク13も、ロアリンク14の上下揺動と連係して上下揺動する。作業装置15は、トップリンク13とロアリンク14との夫々に相対揺動可能に連結され、トップリンク13とロアリンク14との夫々の上下揺動と連係して作業装置15は上下に昇降する。
[0029]
 作業者が高さ設定レバー23を操作すると、油圧アクチュエータに対する作動油の給排が行われてリフトアーム16が揺動し、作業装置15が上下昇降する。作動油の給排は不図示のスプールの動作によって制御される。作業装置15の上下昇降と連動してフィードバックリンク機構(不図示)が動作する。フィードバックリンク機構は、高さ設定レバー23の操作量と、リフトアーム16の揺動角度と、に基づいて油圧アクチュエータに対する作動油の給排量を調節する。作業装置15が制御目標高さに到達すると、油圧アクチュエータに対する作動油の給排が停止して、左右のリフトアーム16の上下揺動が停止する。このように、3点リンク機構12は作業装置15を昇降可能に取付ける。本実施形態で示された油圧アクチュエータ及びスプールは、本発明の『油圧ユニット』に相当する。即ち、3点リンク機構12を揺動操作可能な油圧ユニットが備えられている。
[0030]
〔ドラフト制御機構について〕
 本実施形態では、作業装置15の作業高さは、作業装置15の対地作業時の作業負荷や耕深に基づいて調整可能に構成されている。例えば3点リンク機構12に作業装置15としてプラウが連結された場合、プラウによる対地作業が行われる際に、プラウは地面から反力を受け、この反力が牽引負荷となる。牽引負荷が大きくなり過ぎるとプラウが破損したりエンジンEがストールしたりする虞がある。このため、プラウ等の作業装置15を牽引負荷に応じて上下昇降し、牽引負荷を一定に調整する機構、即ちドラフト制御機構が、本実施形態のトラクタに備えられている。以下、ドラフト制御機構に関して説明する。
[0031]
 図2乃至図6に示されるように、ドラフト機構に、負荷受け部30と、リンク機構(連動揺動アーム31、連結リンク部32、耕深調整カム34、連動揺動部35、連係ロッド36)と、が備えられている。なお、ドラフト機構としての負荷受け部30及びリンク機構を見易くするため、図2乃至図4には、リフトアーム16は図示されていないが、リフトアーム16の揺動軸芯Xは図示されている。
[0032]
 負荷受け部30は、作業装置15がトラクタの車体に牽引されながら対地作業を行う場合に作業装置15の牽引負荷に応じて揺動する。リンク機構は、負荷受け部30の揺動量に応じて、油圧ユニット(上述した不図示の油圧アクチュエータ及びスプールを含む)に、3点リンク機構12の揺動操作のための操作量を伝達する。本発明のリンク機構として、連動揺動アーム31と、連結リンク部32と、耕深調整カム34と、連動揺動部35と、連係ロッド36と、が備えられている。
[0033]
 負荷受け部30に、ブラケット30Aと、受け部材30Bと、支点ピン30Cと、連係ピン30Dと、第1コイルバネ30Eと、第2コイルバネ30Fと、揺動禁止部材30Gと、が備えられている。ブラケット30Aはトランスミッションケース6の後部に連結固定される。トップリンク13は受け部材30Bに連結されている。
[0034]
 ブラケット30Aの下部と受け部材30Bの下部との夫々に、支点ピン30Cを挿通可能な丸孔が機体横向きに穿孔され、ブラケット30Aと受け部材30Bとの夫々の下部における当該丸孔を支点ピン30Cが機体横向きに貫通する。つまり、支点ピン30Cは、ブラケット30Aと受け部材30Bとを揺動軸芯Pまわりに相対揺動可能なように枢支連結し、受け部材30Bは、機体横向きの揺動軸芯Pまわりに前後揺動可能である。
[0035]
 受け部材30Bの上下中央部分に、丸孔30oが機体横向きに穿孔されている。また、ブラケット30Aの上下中央部分に、長孔30pが機体横向きに穿孔されている。長孔30pの長手方向は機体前後方向に沿っている。受け部材30Bの上下中央部分の丸孔30oと、長孔30pと、を連係ピン30Dが貫通する。連係ピン30Dの長手方向両端部は、受け部材30Bよりも外側に位置する。そして、連係ピン30Dの長手方向端部に、スナップピンが係止して、連係ピン30Dはブラケット30A及び受け部材30Bに対して抜け止めされている。
[0036]
 連係ピン30Dは、丸孔30oに対して相対変位不能であって、かつ、長孔30pの長手方向に沿ってスライド可能である。このことから、受け部材30Bは、長孔30pの長手方向の範囲で前後揺動可能である。
[0037]
 A storage tube portion 30L is formed on the upper portion of the bracket 30A. 30 L of storage cylinder parts are formed in the cylindrical shape of the body front-back direction. A first coil spring 30E is housed in the housing tube portion 30L (see FIG. 10). A gap is formed between the upper portion of the bracket 30A and the upper portion of the receiving member 30B. The first coil spring 30E is provided in this gap, and both end portions in the extending direction of the first coil spring 30E contact the bracket 30A and the receiving member 30B, respectively. The receiving member 30B is biased by the first coil spring 30E so as to swing backward.
[0038]
 A second coil spring 30F is provided on the opposite side of the bracket 30A to the side where the first coil spring 30E is located. The elastic modulus of the second coil spring 30F is smaller than the elastic modulus of the first coil spring 30E. Although the details will be described later, when the first coil spring 30E expands and the elastic energy of the first coil spring 30E is released, the second coil spring 30F contracts and the elastic energy of the second coil spring 30F increases.
[0039]
 Three upper and lower mounting holes 30s are formed in the rear portion of the bracket 30A, and one end of the top link 13 is connected to one of the plurality of mounting holes 30s via a pin so as to be able to swing vertically. Of the three upper and lower mounting holes 30 s , the portion connected to the top link 13 serves as the pivot axis Y2 of the top link 13 .
[0040]
 The end of the top link 13 opposite to the side connected to the bracket 30A is connected to the upper portion of the work device 15 . Therefore, a tensile force acts on the top link 13 from the work device 15 when the work device 15 is raised or when the work device 15 is not performing work on the ground. Also, in this state, a tensile force acts on the receiving member 30B from the top link 13, and the receiving member 30B swings to the rearmost side.
[0041]
 When a plow is connected to the three-point link mechanism 12 as the working device 15 and plowing work is performed by the plow, the deeper the plowing depth, the stronger the reaction force from the ground to the plow. This reaction force is a traction load, and the upward component of the reaction force acts on the top link 13 as a pressing force. This pressing force is transmitted to the receiving member 30B via the top link 13. As shown in FIG. When this pressing force is greater than the resultant force of the elastic forces of the first coil spring 30E and the second coil spring 30F, the receiving member 30B resists the resultant force of the elastic forces of the first coil spring 30E and the second coil spring 30F. swing forward.
[0042]
 When the receiving member 30B swings forward, the first coil spring 30E contracts. The elastic force of the first coil spring 30E increases in proportion to the contraction amount of the first coil spring 30E. Therefore, the front side of the receiving member 30B is tilted at a swinging angle at which the pressing force acting on the receiving member 30B due to the traction load of the working device 15 and the resultant force of the elastic forces of the first coil spring 30E and the second coil spring 30F are balanced. to stop rocking. Accordingly, as the traction load of the work device 15 due to the work on the ground increases, the pressing force acting on the receiving member 30B increases, so that the receiving member 30B swings further forward. Accordingly, the receiving member 30B is configured to be capable of detecting the traction load of the working device 15. As shown in FIG.
[0043]
 揺動禁止部材30Gは、受け部材30Bの揺動を禁止する部材である。詳述はしないが、揺動禁止部材30Gは、ブラケット30Aの左上部に設けられた前後方向の揺動軸芯V(図4参照)まわりに揺動可能に構成されている。揺動禁止部材30Gの上部にハンドルが設けられている。揺動軸芯Vと当該ハンドルとの間に、ブラケット30Aの上端部と、受け部材30Bの上端部と、の間の領域に介在可能な水平の板部分が形成されている。作業者が当該ハンドルを左右に操作すると、当該水平の板部分が上下に揺動する。受け部材30Bが最も後側に揺動した状態で、揺動禁止部材30Gが図4における時計回りに揺動すると、当該水平の板部分は、ブラケット30Aの上端部と、受け部材30Bの上端部と、の隙間の全領域に亘って介在し、受け部材30Bの前側への揺動を規制する。これにより、受け部材30Bが揺動できなくなる。揺動禁止部材30Gが図4における反時計回りに揺動すると、当該水平の板部分が、ブラケット30Aの上端部と、受け部材30Bの上端部と、の間の領域から離れ、受け部材30Bが前後に揺動できるようになる。
[0044]
 負荷受け部30に、増幅調整部30Hが備えられている。また、ブラケット30Aに、連動揺動アーム31が前後揺動可能なようにピンで枢支連結されている。連動揺動アーム31は、リンク機構のうちの最も上手側に備えられている。連動揺動アーム31は、機体横向きの揺動軸芯Q1まわりに前後揺動可能なように、ブラケット30Aの右側部に連結されている。増幅調整部30Hは受け部材30Bの右側部にボルト固定されている。連動揺動アーム31は、負荷受け部30の揺動軸芯Pと異なる揺動軸芯Q1で負荷受け部30の揺動と連動して揺動する。
[0045]
 増幅調整部30Hは受け部材30Bと一体的に揺動し、受け部材30Bが前方へ揺動すると、連動揺動アーム31と増幅調整部30Hとが当接し、連動揺動アーム31が揺動する。詳細に関しては後述するが、連動揺動アーム31は、受け部材30Bの前後揺動よりも大きく揺動することによって、受け部材30Bの揺動量を増幅可能に構成されている。また、詳細に関しては後述するが、増幅調整部30Hは、連動揺動アーム31の揺動量を調整可能に構成されている。
[0046]
 受け部材30Bのうち、増幅調整部30Hに対して前上方の部分に当接ボルト30kが連結されている。受け部材30Bが最も後側に揺動された状態で、当接ボルト30kと連動揺動アーム31とが当接し、連動揺動アーム31と増幅調整部30Hとは離間する。受け部材30Bが前方へ揺動すると、当接ボルト30kと連動揺動アーム31とが当接した状態で、連動揺動アーム31が揺動軸芯Q1まわりに揺動する。このとき、受け部材30Bが前側に揺動するほど、連動揺動アーム31と増幅調整部30Hとの離間距離は小さくなる。そして、受け部材30Bが更に前方へ揺動し、連動揺動アーム31と増幅調整部30Hとが当接すると、当接ボルト30kと連動揺動アーム31とが離間する。
[0047]
 上述したように、リフトアーム16(図1参照、以下同じ)は油圧アクチュエータに対する作動油の給排によって上下揺動し、作動油の給排は不図示のスプールの動作によって制御される。連結リンク部32と、耕深調整カム34と、連動揺動部35と、連係ロッド36と、の夫々は、受け部材30Bの揺動動作を、当該スプールへ伝達するためリンク機構である。
[0048]

The hook member 39 is supported by the cylindrical member 37A. The columnar member 37A is located on the front side of the machine body relative to the tillage depth adjusting cam 34, and the tension spring 38 exerts a tensile force on the tillage depth adjusting cam 34 and the columnar member 37A. Therefore, the plowing depth adjusting cam 34 is urged to swing forward. The lower end of the swing arm 23A of the height setting lever 23 and the lower end of the swing arm 24A of the tillage depth lever 24 are fitted onto the cylindrical member 37A. The longitudinal direction of the columnar member 37A extends along the swing axis Y3 in the lateral direction of the machine body. Each of the lower end portion of the swing arm 23A and the lower end portion of the swing arm 24A is a swing base end portion. That is, the height setting lever 23 and the plowing depth lever 24 can swing back and forth around the swing axis Y3.

 耕深調整カム34にカム部34aが形成されている。また、連動揺動部35の長手方向中央領域にローラー35Aが設けられ、カム部34aとローラー35Aとが当接可能である。カム部34aは、前側ほど揺動軸芯Z1から離れるように傾斜する。このことから、カム部34aの前側領域とローラー35Aとが当接すると、カム部34aの後側領域とローラー35Aとが当接する場合と比較して、連動揺動部35の揺動する度合いが大きくなる。耕深調整カム34は、本発明の『感度変更部』に相当する。
[0053]
 図7及び図8に示されるように、耕深調整カム34が揺動軸芯Z1まわりに後方へ揺動し、カム部34aとローラー35Aとが当接すると、ローラー35Aがカム部34aに沿って移動しながら、連動揺動部35が後方へ揺動する。連動揺動部35が後方へ揺動すると、カム部34aとローラー35Aとがカム部34aの前側領域で当接するため、耕深調整カム34の揺動角度の変化量に対して、連動揺動部35の揺動角度の変化量が大きくなる。即ち、感度変更部としての耕深調整カム34は、負荷受け部30が牽引負荷の大きい側に揺動するほど、リンク機構のうちの下手側の機構の変位量が大きくなるように動作する。
[0054]
 耕深調整カム34に、ロータリ耕耘装置のコントロールケーブル用の連結部34bが形成され、連結部34bにコントロールケーブルの一端部が連結可能である。ロータリ耕耘装置のコントロールケーブルに関しては、特開2018-042530号公報の図16及び図17に記載されている。連結部34bは、連動揺動部35を挟んでカム部34aの位置する側と反対側に位置する。ロータリ耕耘装置の自動耕深制御において、ロータリ耕耘装置に設けられた接地体の上下揺動によって、コントロールケーブルを介して連結部34bが引っ張られて、耕深調整カム34が前後揺動する。連結部34bにコントロールケーブルが連結される場合、一般的に、揺動禁止部材30Gが下方に揺動操作され、受け部材30Bの前側への揺動が規制される。この場合、図7に示されるように、第1リンク部材32Aと第2リンク部材32Bとが連接ピン32Dを介して屈曲自在なように構成されているため、受け部材30Bが揺動不能な場合であっても、耕深調整カム34は揺動可能である。
[0055]
 連動揺動部35の遊端部に複数の挿通孔35hが形成され、この複数の挿通孔35hの1つの箇所に連係ロッド36の後端部がピンで枢支連結されている。連動揺動部35が後方へ揺動すると、連係ロッド36が後方へ変位する。図示はしないが、作動油の給排量を調節するスプールを操作するリンク機構が、連係ロッド36の前端部と連結され、連係ロッド36が後方へ変位すると、スプールが操作されて作動油が油圧アクチュエータに供給され、リフトアーム16が上方へ揺動する。
[0056]
 連動揺動部35の揺動基端部は、ブラケット24Bの遊端部に揺動可能にピンで枢支連結され、連動揺動部35は揺動軸芯Z2まわりに前後揺動可能である。円柱部材37Aの位置する箇所において、揺動アーム24Aとブラケット24Bとの夫々の揺動基端部が溶接によって連結されている。また、耕深調整カム34は揺動アーム24Aと当接可能である。耕深調整カム34が後方へ揺動すると、カム部34aとローラー35Aとが接近し、連動揺動部35は後方に揺動操作され易くなる。つまり、耕深調整カム34が後側に揺動されると、リフトアーム16は上方に揺動操作され易くなる。
[0057]
 連動揺動部35の揺動箇所にトーションバネ40が巻き掛けられている。トーションバネ40は、連動揺動部35の揺動基端部における下向き部分と、ブラケット24Bの遊端部における下向き部分と、の夫々に係止されている。連動揺動部35は、トーションバネ40によって前側に揺動するように付勢されている。
[0058]
 作業装置15からの押圧力を受けて受け部材30Bが前側に揺動すると、連動揺動アーム31が当接ボルト30kまたは増幅調整部30Hと当接し、連動揺動アーム31が図7及び図8の側面視において時計回りに揺動する。連動揺動アーム31の揺動と連動して連結リンク部32が後側へ引っ張られる。このとき、図8に示されるように、第1リンク部材32Aと第2リンク部材32Bとが引っ張られて真っ直ぐ延びるため、連結リンク部32から耕深調整カム34へ引張力が作用する。そして、連結リンク部32が後方へ変位するとともに耕深調整カム34が後方へ揺動する。
[0059]
 As the plowing depth adjusting cam 34 swings, the cam portion 34a and the roller 35A approach each other. Then, when the cam portion 34a and the roller 35A come into contact with each other, the interlocking swing portion 35 swings backward while the roller 35A moves along the cam portion 34a. Then, the connecting rod 36 swingably connected to the interlocking swinging portion 35 is pulled and displaced rearward. Hydraulic oil is supplied to the hydraulic actuator by moving the spool, and the lift arm 16 swings upward in conjunction with the swinging motion of the interlocking swinging portion 35 to raise the position of the working device 15 .
[0060]
 In the case where the working device 15 is a plow, when the position of the plow rises, the reaction force applied from the ground to the plow decreases, so the pressing force acting on the receiving member 30B from the plow via the top link 13 also decreases. Then, when the pressing force acting on the receiving member 30B and the elastic force of the first coil spring 30E are balanced, the receiving member 30B, the interlocking swing arm 31, the tillage depth adjusting cam 34, and the interlocking swing portion 35 , stop swinging, and the connecting rod 36 is no longer displaced. By operating the spool by the feedback link mechanism described above, supply and discharge of hydraulic oil to the hydraulic actuator is stopped, and the vertical swing of the left and right lift arms 16 is stopped.
[0061]
 When the pressing force ceases to act on the receiving member 30B, the receiving member 30B stops at the rearmost end of the front-rear swing range based on the front-rear length of the long hole 30p. At this time, since the space between the first link member 32A and the second link member 32B in the connecting link portion 32 is loosened, even if the interlocking swing arm 31 swings, the plowing depth adjusting cam 34 does not move the interlocking swing arm 31. It is no longer linked with the swing. A coil spring member 32C is externally inserted to the first link member 32A in the connecting link portion 32 . As a result, even if the receiving member 30B swings sharply from the swinging state toward the front side to the rearmost end, and the interlocking swinging arm 31 also swings sharply, the sharp swinging causes The impact is absorbed by the expansion and contraction of the coil spring member 32C. Therefore, the problem that the tillage depth adjusting cam 34 and the interlocking swinging portion 35 swing unnecessarily due to the impact is avoided. At this time, the plowing depth adjusting cam 34 swings forward due to the elastic force of the tension spring 38 . Further, the interlocking swinging portion 35 swings forward by the elastic force of the torsion spring 40 .
[0062]
[Regarding the Amplification Adjusting Part]
 As described above, the interlocking swing arm 31 is constructed so as to be able to amplify the amount of swing of the receiving member 30B. Further, the amplification adjustment portion 30H is bolted to the receiving member 30B, and the amplification adjustment portion 30H and the interlocking swing arm 31 are configured to be able to contact each other.
[0063]
 The interlocking swing arm 31 extends vertically. When the contact point between the amplification adjustment section 30H and the interlocking swing arm 31 in the vertical direction is changed, the amount of swinging of the interlocking swing arm 31 changes even if the amount of swinging of the receiving member 30B is the same. The amplification adjusting section 30H is configured such that the point of contact with the interlocking swing arm 31 can be adjusted in the vertical direction.
[0064]
 As shown in FIGS. 9 to 13, the amplification adjustment section 30H is provided with a bracket member 50 and a swing member 51. As shown in FIG. Long holes 50a are formed in the upper and lower ends of the flat surface of the bracket member 50, and the pair of upper and lower long holes 50a extend in the vertical direction. A bolt is inserted through the pair of upper and lower elongated holes 50a. That is, the bracket member 50 is bolted to the receiving member 30B so as to enable vertical positioning adjustment. A projecting cylindrical portion 50b is formed in the region between the pair of upper and lower elongated holes 50a, and the projecting cylindrical portion 50b projects to the side opposite to the side where the receiving member 30B is located. A screw groove that can be engaged with a nut is formed in the protruding tip of the protruding cylindrical portion 50b.
[0065]
 The swing member 51 is configured to be swingable relative to the bracket member 50 . A bolt insertion hole 51 b is drilled in the rocking base end of the rocking member 51 . The projecting cylindrical portion 50b is inserted through the bolt insertion hole 51b, and the nut is engaged with the distal end portion of the projecting cylindrical portion 50b. Thereby, the rocking member 51 is configured to be vertically rockable about the rocking axis Q2. The rocking member 51 corresponds to the "first part" in the present invention. That is, the load receiving portion 30 is provided with a swing member 51 as a first portion that presses the interlocking swing arm 31 .
[0066]
 An engagement pin 51a is provided at the free end of the swing member 51. As shown in FIG. The engagement pin 51a is formed in a columnar shape extending in the lateral direction of the machine body. The engaging pin 51a may be fixed by welding to the free end of the swing member 51, or may be connected to the free end of the swing member 51 with a bolt. The engaging pin 51a corresponds to the "pin" of the present invention.
[0067]
 第1部としての揺動部材51と接触して、揺動部材51によって押圧される『第2部』が、連動揺動アーム31に備えられている。本実施形態では、この第2部は係止部52である。係止部52に、揺動部材51を受け入れ係止可能な複数の凹部が形成されている。『複数の凹部』として、連動揺動アーム31のうち、揺動軸芯Q1よりも上側の部分に、第1凹入部52aと第2凹入部52bと第3凹入部52cとが上下に並ぶ状態で設けられている。
[0068]
 第1凹入部52a、第2凹入部52b、第3凹入部52cのうち、第1凹入部52aが揺動軸芯Q1から最も遠く、第3凹入部52cが揺動軸芯Q1から最も近い。第1凹入部52aと第2凹入部52bと第3凹入部52cとの夫々は、円柱形状の係入ピン51aと対応して円弧状に湾曲するように形成されている。これにより、第1凹入部52aと第2凹入部52bと第3凹入部52cとの夫々は係入ピン51aを受け入れ係止可能に構成されている。即ち、係入ピン51aは、第1凹入部52aと第2凹入部52bと第3凹入部52cとの夫々への係入が可能である。
[0069]
 連動揺動アーム31のうち、第1凹入部52aの上方部分と、第3凹入部52cの下方部分と、の夫々に上下一対の突出部分52d,52eが形成され、この上下一対の突出部分52d,52eは、連動揺動アーム31の他の部分より揺動部材51の位置する側に突出する。この上下一対の突出部分52d,52eの間に係入ピン51aが位置し、係入ピン51aは、この上下一対の突出部分52d,52eの上下範囲内で揺動軸芯Q2まわりに揺動可能となっている。この上下一対の突出部分52d,52eの間に、第1凹入部52aと第2凹入部52bと第3凹入部52cとが上下に並ぶ状態で設けられている。この上下一対の突出部分52d,52eと、第1凹入部52aと、第2凹入部52bと、第3凹入部52cと、に亘って入り江のように囲まれた領域は本発明の『共通凹部』に相当する。即ち、係止部52に、複数の凹部が連続で並ぶように複数の凹部を包含する共通凹部が形成されている。そして、係入ピン51aは、共通凹部を通過して複数の凹部の何れか1つに係入する。
[0070]
 揺動部材51が上下に揺動することによって、揺動部材51は、係入ピン51aと第1凹入部52aとが係合可能な状態と、係入ピン51aと第2凹入部52bとが係合可能な状態と、係入ピン51aと第3凹入部52cとが係合可能な状態と、に切換え可能に構成されている。このように、第1部としての揺動部材51と、第2部としての係止部52と、の接触位置が変更可能に構成されている。
[0071]
 揺動部材51に、第1凹入部52aと第2凹入部52bと第3凹入部52cとの何れかに係入する際の揺動角度を位置決めする『位置決め機構』が備えられている。本実施形態の位置決め機構はデテント機構である。位置決め機構に、ボール51oと、コイルバネ部材51pと、デテント凹部50p,50q,50rと、が備えられている。
[0072]
 A handle arm 51c is connected to a portion of the swinging member 51 adjacent to the engaging pin 51a on the side where the bolt insertion hole 51b is located. The handle arm 51c protrudes to the side opposite to the side where the receiving member 30B is located. A handle 51d is connected rearward to the projecting tip of the handle arm 51c.
[0073]
 The handle arm 51c is cylindrical. As shown in FIG. 10, a cylindrical hole is bored in the handle arm 51c along the longitudinal direction of the handle arm 51c, and a detent mechanism ball 51o and a coil spring member 51p are inserted into this cylindrical hole. It is As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the bracket member 50 has three detent recesses 50p, 50q, and 50r formed along the swing track of the handle arm 51c. A ball 51o for the detent mechanism is engaged with one of the detent recesses 50p, 50q, 50r. When the ball 51o is engaged with the detent recess 50p, the engaging pin 51a and the first recess 52a can be engaged. When the ball 51o is engaged with the detent recess 50q, the engaging pin 51a and the second recess 52b can be engaged. When the ball 51o is engaged with the detent recess 50r, the engaging pin 51a and the third recess 52c can be engaged. In this manner, the swing member 51 is configured to swing up and down in three stages.
[0074]
 The positioning mechanism in this embodiment can position the swing member 51 at an angle orthogonal to the swing angle of the load receiving portion 30 . When the ball 51o is engaged with the detent recess 50q, a straight line extending between the swing axis P and the swing axis Q2, a straight line extending between the center of the engaging pin 51a and the swing axis Q2 in the side view of the machine body, are orthogonal or substantially orthogonal (see FIG. 12). That is, the angle at which the swinging member 51 is positioned (the swinging angle at which the positioning mechanism positions the swinging member 51 ) includes an angle orthogonal to the swinging angle of the load receiving portion 30 . Each of the detent recesses 50p and the detent recesses 50r is distributed vertically with respect to the detent recesses 50q. Therefore, the swing member 51 can firmly receive the reaction force from the locking portion 52 .
[0075]
 When the pressing force does not act on the receiving member 30B, the receiving member 30B stops at the rearmost end of the front-rear swing range based on the front-rear length of the long hole 30p. At this time, the interlocking swing arm 31 contacts the contact bolt 30k of the receiving member 30B and is separated from the swing member 51. As shown in FIG. Therefore, when the pressing force does not act on the receiving member 30B, the operator can easily switch the swinging member 51 between the above three stages.
[0076]
 上述したように、受け部材30Bが前方へ揺動すると、最初は、当接ボルト30kと連動揺動アーム31との当接によって、連動揺動アーム31が揺動する。受け部材30Bは揺動軸芯Pまわりに揺動し、連動揺動アーム31は揺動軸芯Q1まわりに揺動する。揺動部材51と揺動軸芯Pとの離間距離は、第1凹入部52a、第2凹入部52b、第3凹入部52cの夫々と揺動軸芯Q1との離間距離よりも離れている。このことから、当接ボルト30kと連動揺動アーム31とが当接した状態で受け部材30Bが前方へ揺動すると、第1凹入部52a、第2凹入部52b、第3凹入部52cの夫々の変位量は、揺動部材51の変位量よりも小さい。このため、当接ボルト30kと連動揺動アーム31とが当接した状態で受け部材30Bが前方へ揺動すると、係入ピン51aは第1凹入部52a、第2凹入部52b、第3凹入部52cの夫々に接近する。そして、係入ピン51aが、第1凹入部52a、第2凹入部52b、第3凹入部52cの何れかと当接すると、当接ボルト30kと連動揺動アーム31とが離間する。
[0077]
 図11乃至図13に示されるように、揺動部材51と連動揺動アーム31との当接点が、第1凹入部52aと、第2凹入部52bと、第3凹入部52cと、の何れかで異なると、受け部材30Bの揺動量が同じであっても連動揺動アーム31の揺動量が変化する。図11に、係入ピン51aと第1凹入部52aとの当接状態が示されている。図12に、係入ピン51aと第2凹入部52bとの当接状態が示されている。図13に、係入ピン51aと第3凹入部52cとの当接状態が示されている。なお、図11乃至図13の何れにおいても、揺動禁止部材30Gは受け部材30Bの揺動を規制しない状態に操作済みである。
[0078]
 第2凹入部52bは第1凹入部52aよりも揺動軸芯Q1に近い。このため、図12に示されるように、係入ピン51aと第2凹入部52bとが当接する場合の連動揺動アーム31の揺動量(D2で示されている)は、係入ピン51aと第1凹入部52aとが当接する場合の連動揺動アーム31の揺動量(D1で示されている)よりも多い。このため、係入ピン51aと第2凹入部52bとが当接する場合、トップリンク13は、係入ピン51aと第1凹入部52aとが当接する場合よりも大きく上下揺動する。
[0079]
 第3凹入部52cは第2凹入部52bよりも揺動軸芯Q1に近い。このため、図13に示されるように、係入ピン51aと第3凹入部52cとが当接する場合の連動揺動アーム31の揺動量(D3で示されている)は、係入ピン51aと第2凹入部52bとが当接する場合の連動揺動アーム31の揺動量(D2で示されている)よりも多い。このため、係入ピン51aと第3凹入部52cとが当接する場合、トップリンク13は、係入ピン51aと第2凹入部52bとが当接する場合よりも大きく上下揺動する。このように、受け部材30Bの前後揺動が大きく増幅されるほど、リフトアーム16は大きく上下揺動する。
[0080]
 In addition, the angular velocity and the angular acceleration when the interlocked swing arm 31 swings also change in proportion to the change in the amount of swing of the interlocked swing arm 31 . That is, the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the interlocking swing arm 31 when the engaging pin 51a and the second recessed portion 52b abut each other is the same as the interlocking swing arm when the engaging pin 51a and the first recessed portion 52a abut. faster than 31 angular velocities and angular accelerations. The angular velocity and angular acceleration of the interlocking swing arm 31 when the engaging pin 51a and the third recessed portion 52c are in contact are the same as those of the interlocking swing arm 31 when the engaging pin 51a and the second recessed portion 52b are in contact. faster than 31 angular velocities and angular accelerations. As the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the interlocking swing arm 31 increase, the angular velocity and angular acceleration when the tillage depth adjusting cam 34 and the interlocking swing section 35 swing also increase. As the angular velocity and angular acceleration of the interlocking oscillating portion 35 increase, the speed and acceleration when the linking rod 36 is displaced also increase, so the spool for controlling the supply and discharge of hydraulic oil is also operated at high speed. The faster the spool is actuated, the more nimble the hydraulic actuator for the lift arm 16 will be, thereby increasing the responsiveness of the lift arm 16 and increasing the angular velocity at which the lift arm 16 swings. In other words, the greater the amplitude of the back-and-forth swing of the receiving member 30B by the interlocking swing arm 31, the faster the angular velocity and angular acceleration when the lift arm 16 swings.
[0081]
 In this way, by changing the contact point between the swing member 51 and the locking portion 52, the link ratio between the receiving member 30B and the interlocking swing arm 31 can be changed. In the present embodiment, four insertion holes 31h are formed in the lower end portion of the interlocking swing arm 31, and three insertion holes 35h are formed in the free end portion of the interlocking swinging portion 35. As shown in FIG. The insertion hole 31h corresponds to the "link ratio changing portion" of the present invention. The insertion hole 35h also corresponds to the "link ratio changing portion" of the present invention.
[0082]
 One of the four insertion holes 31h is selected, and the pin member 33 is inserted through this one. When the selected position of the insertion hole 31h changes, the amount by which the connecting link portion 32 is displaced changes, and the amount by which the connecting link portion 32 is displaced increases in the lower insertion holes 31h. That is, the link ratio between the interlocking swing arm 31 and the connecting link portion 32 is configured to be changeable by the four insertion holes 31h. Here, the receiving member 30B and the interlocking swing arm when the abutting position between the swinging member 51 and the engaging portion 52 is changed to the upper and lower adjacent positions in accordance with the switching operation of the swinging member 51 by the operator. 31 is defined as the first link ratio change rate. Further, the change rate of the link ratio between the interlocking swing arm 31 and the connecting link portion 32 when the connecting portion with the connecting link portion 32 among the four insertion holes 31h is changed to the adjacent insertion hole 31h is calculated as follows: Defined as 2-link ratio change rate. The second link ratio change rate is less than the first link ratio change rate.
[0083]
 One of the three insertion holes 35h is selected, and the rear end of the connecting rod 36 is pivotally connected to this one position with a pin. When the selected position of the insertion hole 35h changes, the amount by which the connecting rod 36 is displaced changes, and the amount by which the connecting rod 36 is displaced increases in the insertion hole 31h on the free end side. That is, the link ratio between the interlocking swinging portion 35 and the linking rod 36 is configured to be changeable by the three insertion holes 35h. Here, the rate of change in the link ratio between the interlocking swinging portion 35 and the linking rod 36 when the linking portion of the three insertion holes 35h with the linking rod 36 is changed to the adjacent insertion hole 35h is expressed as the third Defined as link ratio change rate. The third link ratio change rate is smaller than the above first link ratio change rate.
[0084]
 That is, a link ratio changing portion that changes the link ratio to a link ratio change rate smaller than the link ratio change rate by the swing member 51 and the locking portion 52 is provided on the downstream side of the interlocking swing arm 31 in the link mechanism, Insertion holes 31h and 35h are provided.
[0085]
[Regarding Coil Spring Acting on Receiving Member]
 As shown in FIG. 10, a second coil spring 30F is provided on the opposite side of the bracket 30A to the side where the first coil spring 30E is located. The mounting structure of the second coil spring 30F will be described below.
[0086]
 A cylindrical housing portion 30L is formed on the upper portion of the bracket 30A, and a first coil spring 30E is housed in the cylindrical housing portion 30L. A front-rear through-hole 30q is drilled at the radially central portion of the front portion of the cylindrical storage portion 30L. A hollow boss member 60 is connected to the front portion of the cylindrical storage portion 30L. A thread groove is formed on the outer circumference of the front portion of the boss member 60, and the nut 63 is engaged with this thread groove. A spacer is provided between the rear end portion of the boss member 60 and the nut 63, but this spacer may be composed of a plurality of washers (flat washers or spring washers). The nut 63 protrudes forward from the bracket 30A, and the position of the nut 63 is adjusted by the spacer. In short, the longitudinal position of the nut 63 may be adjusted according to the length of the second coil spring 30F. The nut 63 and the spacer may be integrated, or the nut 63 may be a double nut without the spacer. Also, the boss member 60 and the nut 63 may be one integrally formed member, or the boss member 60 may have a configuration in which no screw groove is formed on the outer periphery of the front portion thereof.
[0087]
 受け部材30Bのうち、第1コイルバネ30E当接する領域に、前方に突出する突出部30tが溶接固定され、この突出部30tにロッド61が上下揺動可能に枢支連結される。ロッド61は、第1コイルバネ30Eの内周空間を貫通する。貫通孔30qに内嵌した状態のボス部材60の中空孔をロッド61が貫通し、ロッド61の突出先端部がブラケット30Aよりも前側に突出する。
[0088]
 第2コイルバネ30Fは、ブラケット30Aよりも機体前側でロッド61に外挿されている。第2コイルバネ30Fのうち、受け部材30Bの位置する側と反対側の端部に、第2コイルバネ30Fの外径よりも大径の平座金62がロッド61に外挿される。
[0089]
 ロッド61の突出先端部にはネジ溝が形成されている。平座金62の両面部の夫々はナット締めされ、平座金62は一対のナットで挟持されている。第2コイルバネ30Fの長さに合わせて平座金62の前後位置が調整可能に構成されて良い。また、ナット63は、第2コイルバネ30Fの外径よりも大きな対辺径となるように形成されている。即ち、第2コイルバネ30Fの延び方向の両端部は、ナット63と、平座金62と、の夫々に当接する。また、ボス部材60のネジ溝部分と、平座金62を挟持するナットと、は第2コイルバネ30Fの内径よりも若干小さな外径となるように形成されている。このため、ボス部材60のネジ溝部分と、平座金62を挟持するナットと、が第2コイルバネ30Fの内周部分とガタつくことなく当接する。
[0090]
 As the receiving member 30B rocks back and forth, the rod 61 moves back and forth while rocking relative to the receiving member 30B. At this time, as the receiving member 30B swings, the rod 61 is displaced in the vertical direction. Therefore, the hollow hole of the boss member 60 is formed with a diameter sufficiently larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the rod 61 .
[0091]
 When the receiving member 30B swings back and forth, the separation distance between the bracket 30A and the receiving member 30B changes, and the nut 63 supported by the bracket 30A and the flat washer 62 supported by the receiving member 30B via the rod 61 move. , also changes. As a result, the first coil spring 30E expands and contracts. Further, when the receiving member 30B swings back and forth, the rod 61 is displaced back and forth, the distance between the nut 63 and the flat washer 62 changes, and the second coil spring 30F expands and contracts.
[0092]
 When the first coil spring 30E expands and the elastic energy of the first coil spring 30E decreases, the second coil spring 30F contracts and the elastic energy of the second coil spring 30F increases. When the pressing force suddenly stops acting on the receiving member 30B, the elastic energy of the first coil spring 30E is released at once. It is conceivable that abrupt rocking may occur up to the extreme end of the range of motion. Even in such a case, as the receiving member 30B swings backward, the second coil spring 30F contracts and elastic energy is stored in the second coil spring 30F. This suppresses rapid extension of the first coil spring 30E. As a result, the impact when the linking pin 30D comes into contact with the rearmost end of the long hole 30p is reduced. Also, chattering of the receiving member 30B caused by the contact is suppressed.
