[0021]
The receiver 31 has an antenna or the like and receives a satellite signal transmitted from the positioning satellite.
The radio 32 has an antenna or the like and communicates with a base station (reference station) installed at a known position. The base station transmits the positioning data (correction information) obtained by receiving the radio waves from the positioning satellite to the positioning device 30. The positioning device 30 receives radio waves transmitted from the positioning satellite and positioning data transmitted from the base station, and receives radio waves from the positioning satellite to obtain positioning data and positioning data from the base station. Based on this, it detects its own position (latitude, longitude).
[0022]
The positioning device 30 does not necessarily have to include the radio 32. Further, the positioning device 30 may include an inertial measurement unit 33, which will be described later.
The control device 26 performs automatic steering control that automatically controls the steering of the vehicle body 5 based on the detection information detected by the positioning device 30.
When performing automatic steering control, it is possible to perform automatic steering control by first setting a travel reference line, setting a travel reference line, and then setting a travel schedule line parallel to the travel reference line.
[0023]
In the automatic steering control, the tractor 1 (vehicle body 5) is automatically steered in the traveling direction so that the vehicle body position measured by the positioning device 30 and the planned travel line match. Specifically, the tractor 1 (vehicle body 5) is moved to a predetermined position in the field before the automatic steering control is performed, and the operator operates the steering changeover switch (registration switch) provided on the tractor 1 at the predetermined position. Then, the vehicle body position measured by the positioning device 30 is set as the starting point of the traveling reference line. Further, when the tractor 1 (vehicle body 5) is moved from the start point of the travel reference line and the operator operates the steering changeover switch at a predetermined position, the vehicle body position measured by the positioning device 30 is set as the end point of the travel reference line. Will be done. A straight line connecting the start point and the end point is set as a travel reference line.
[0024]
After setting the driving reference line, for example, when the tractor 1 (vehicle body 5) is moved to a place different from the place where the driving reference line is set and the operator operates the steering changeover switch, a straight line parallel to the driving reference line is obtained. The planned travel line is set. After setting the scheduled travel line, automatic steering control is started, and the traveling direction of the tractor 1 (vehicle body 5) is changed to follow the scheduled travel line.

As shown in FIG. 7, the positioning device 30 is attached to the attachment stay 47 by bolts. As shown in FIG. 6, the mounting stay 47 is rotatably pivotally supported around the axis extending in the vehicle width direction B3 at the front portion of the base stay 46, and by rotating, the position where the positioning device 30 is used. The first position X1 is displaced to the second position X2, which is a position lower than the first position X1. That is, the support bracket 45 supports the positioning device 30 in a displaceable manner between the first position X1 and the second position X2. Further, the positioning device 30 is inverted from the first position X1 to the second position X2 by rotating the mounting stay 47, and in the second position X2, the upper surface 30a side of the positioning device 30 in the first position X1 is downward. It will be in a downward state facing sideways. Therefore, by displacing the positioning device 30 from the first position X1 to the second position X2 when not in use, it is possible to prevent the positioning device 30 from hitting an obstacle. Further, the second position X2 can be set to a position sufficiently lower than the first position X1 only by rotating the mounting stay 47.
[0036]
In the present embodiment, in the state of being in the second position X2, the positioning device 30 has a downward posture in which the upper surface 30a side faces downward, and is inclined upward as it goes forward.
As shown in FIG. 7, the mounting stay 47 is arranged below the positioning device 30 with the positioning device 30 at the first position X1. Therefore, the lower surface 30b side of the positioning device 30 is attached to the attachment stay 47.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the mounting stay 47 covers the positioning device 30 (receiver 31, radio 32) at the second position X2. Further, the mounting stay 47 is composed of a member that reflects satellite signals. Therefore, when the positioning device 30 is in the second position X2, the satellite signal cannot be effectively received. That is, in the state where the positioning device 30 is in the second position X2, the mounting stay 47 restrains the automatic steering control from being performed. In other words, the mounting stay 47 constitutes a check unit that covers the upper part of the positioning device 30 at the second position X2 to prevent automatic steering control. By restraining the automatic steering control from being performed by the mounting stay 47, it is possible to prevent the positioning device 30 from performing the automatic steering control while the positioning device 30 is in the second position X2.
[0038]
The mounting stay 47 is formed of, for example, a metal plate such as an iron plate.
As shown in FIG. 6, the positioning device 30 is arranged above the roof 16 at the first position X1 and is mostly located below the upper end of the roof 16 and partly at the second position X2.
