The first setting member 71 can be set to the minimum reference position P1min when it is rotated to one side to the maximum, and can be set to the maximum reference position P1max when it is rotated to the other side to the maximum. can be done. In this embodiment, the first setting member 71 is a tillage depth setting dial for setting the depth of tillage. The first setting member 71 is not particularly limited as long as it is a member that sets the reference position P1 of the working device 2 in the height direction.
[0025]
As shown in FIG. 1, the second setting member 72 is a member capable of setting an upper limit value (height upper limit value) H1 of the height of the lifting device 8 . Like the first setting member 71, the second setting member 72 also has a knob portion 72A rotatably supported on the vertical axis. As shown in FIG. 6B, when the knob portion 72A is rotated to one side (left side), the height upper limit value H1 of the lift rod 8d when the lift cylinder 8e of the lifting device 8 is extended (the angle θ of the lift rod 8d ) increases, and when the knob 72A is rotated to the other side (right side), the height upper limit H1 of the lift rod 8d (the upper limit of the angle θ of the lift rod 8d) decreases. That is, the second setting member 72 sets the upper limit value H1 of the height of the lifting device 8 by setting the upper limit value of the angle θ of the lift rod 8d.
[0026]
As shown in FIG. 1 , the tractor 1 includes a lift control device 40 that controls the lift device 8 . A control valve (hydraulic control valve) 36 is connected to the elevation control device 40 . When the lift control device 40 outputs a control signal that excites the extension-side solenoid of the hydraulic control valve 36, the hydraulic control valve 36 switches to the first position, and the lift cylinder 8e extends (rises). When the lift control device 40 outputs a control signal that excites the retraction-side solenoid of the hydraulic control valve 36, the hydraulic control valve 36 is switched to the second position, and the lift cylinder 8e is retracted (lowered). When the solenoid of the hydraulic control valve 36 is deenergized, the lift control device 40 can stop the lift cylinder 8e at an arbitrary position.
[0027]
The elevation control device 40 includes a first elevation control section 40A and a second elevation control section 40B. The first elevation control unit 40A performs reference elevation control for raising and lowering the elevation device 8 so that the working device 2 is at the reference position P1. When the elevation operation member 51 is operated during work, the second elevation control section 40B stops the reference elevation control and raises and lowers the elevation device 8 according to the operation of the elevation operation member 51 .
[0028]
Hereinafter, the reference elevation control and the like will be described by taking the tillage by the tillage device 2A as an example.
As shown in FIG. 7A, when tilling is performed, the reference position P1 set by the first setting member 71 is set as the position of the rear end of the swing cover 111. As shown in FIG. That is, the plowing depth H2 is set by setting the position of the rear end of the rocking cover 111 to the reference position P1.
As shown in FIG. 6C, the first elevation control unit 40A starts the reference elevation control while the cultivator 2A is being driven. In the reference elevation control, when the detection position P2 of the swing cover 111 is higher than the reference position P1, the first elevation control section 40A outputs a control signal (lowering control signal) to the hydraulic control valve 36 to detect Control is performed so that the position P2 coincides with the reference position P1. On the other hand, in the reference elevation control, when the detected position P2 of the swing cover 111 is lower than the reference position P1, the first elevation control section 40A outputs a control signal for elevation (raise control signal) to the hydraulic control valve 36. , the detection position P2 is controlled to coincide with the reference position P1. That is, the first elevation control section 40A controls the elevation of the elevation device 8 in the reference elevation control so that the deviation ΔP between the reference position P1 and the detection position P2 becomes zero.
[0029]
The second elevation control section 40B stops the reference elevation control performed by the first elevation control section 40A when the first raising operation section 61U is operated under the condition that the reference elevation control is being performed. Then, the second elevation control unit 40B outputs an elevation control signal to the hydraulic control valve 36 while the first elevation operation unit 61U is operated (pressed). to raise the rear end of the lift rod 8d of the lifting device 8 (operation corresponding control).
[0030]
When the operation (pressing is not performed) of the first raising operation portion 61U is released, the first elevation control portion 40A changes the position of the rear portion (rear end) of the swing cover 111 connected to the elevation device 8 to Control to return to the position corresponding to the reference position P1 is performed (return control). That is, when the operation of the first lifting operation part 61U is released, the first lifting control part 40A outputs a lowering control signal to the hydraulic control valve 36 to lower the rear end of the lift rod 8d of the lifting device 8. Let
[0031]
Further, after the first lifting control unit 40A performs control to return the lifting device 8 to the position corresponding to the reference position P1, the difference between the detection position P2 of the swing cover 111 and the reference position P1 becomes equal to or less than the threshold. At this point, the reference lift control is resumed.
FIG. 7A is a diagram showing how the reference elevation control is stopped and restored.
As shown in FIG. 7A, under the condition that the reference elevation control is performed by the first elevation control section 40A, the tillage depth is controlled to be H2. Under such circumstances, when the first elevation operation unit 61U is operated (OFF→ON) as shown at time P10 in FIG. 7A, the reference elevation control by the first elevation control unit 40A is stopped (OFF). , the operation response control by the second elevation control unit 40B is started (OFF→ON). When the lifting operation member 51 is the first lifting operation tool 51A, the second lifting control part 40B controls the lifting operation during the period T1 during which the first lifting operation part 61U of the first lifting operation tool 51A is being operated. Continue to raise the device 8 (tillage device 2A). Note that the second elevation control unit 40B keeps the height of the elevation device 8 (cultivation device 2A) from the height upper limit value set in the second setting member 72 even when the first elevation operation unit 61U is being operated. When reaching H1, the lift device 8 is stopped. That is, the second elevation control section 40B raises and lowers the elevation device 8 below the upper limit value H1 set by the second setting member 72 .
[0032]
As shown at time P11 in FIG. 7A, when the operation of the first elevation operation unit 61U is canceled (OFF), the operation response control by the second elevation control unit 40B is stopped (OFF), and the first elevation control unit After the return control by 40A is performed for a predetermined time (OFF→ON), at time point P12, the reference lift control by the first lift control unit 40A is resumed (OFF→ON).
In the above-described embodiment, the reference elevation control and return control performed by the first elevation control unit 40A are described separately. In this case, return control may be included in the reference elevation control.
[0033]
According to the above, the first elevation control unit 40A of the elevation control device 40 operates the first elevation operation tool 51A under the condition that the reference elevation control is performed to match the height of the working device 2 to the reference position P1. is released, the lifting device 8 can be controlled to return to the position corresponding to the reference position P1.
In the above-described embodiment, the tillage work and the operation of the first lifting operation unit 61U are described as examples, but the control of the first elevation control unit 40A and the second elevation control unit 40B is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
[0034]
For example, in the work device 2 that does not perform tillage work, the reference position P1 is set by the first setting member 71, and the reference elevation control is performed by the first elevation control unit 40A so that the work device 2 is at the reference position P1 during work. conduct. On the other hand, in the reference elevation control, for example, when the first lowering operation section 61D is operated, the reference elevation control is stopped and the elevation device 8 is lowered by the operation corresponding control of the second elevation control section 40B. When the operation of the first lowering operation section 61D is canceled, the operation corresponding control of the second elevation control section 40B is stopped, and the reference elevation control of the first elevation control section 40A is resumed.
[0035]
The elevation control device 40 can be switched between the first mode and the second mode by the mode switching member 23 . When the mode switching member 23 is OFF, the elevation control device 40 is set to the first mode. Further, when the mode switching member 23 is ON, the elevation control device 40 is set to the second mode. The operation when the first lifting operation tool 51A is operated differs depending on whether the lifting control device 40 is in the first mode or the second mode.
[0036]
As shown in FIG. 8, in the first mode, the elevation control device 40 operates while the first elevation operation tool 51A is operated (during operation), that is, when the first elevation operation unit 61U is pressed. During this time, the lifting control signal is continuously output to the hydraulic control valve 36 to raise the lifting device 8 . As shown at time P20 in FIG. 8, when the operation of the first lifting operation tool 51A is canceled (the first lifting operation unit 61U is no longer pushed), the lifting control device 40 is hydraulically operated. The lift control signal to the control valve 36 is stopped to stop the lift device 8 from lifting.
[0037]
As shown at time P21 in FIG. 8, when the lifting device 8 reaches the height upper limit H1 while the lifting device 8 is being lifted, the lifting control device 40 outputs the control signal L1. Thus, the output of the lift control signal to the hydraulic control valve 36 is stopped even when the first lift operation portion 61U is pressed.
In the first mode, the elevation control device 40 maintains the hydraulic pressure while the first elevation operation tool 51A is being operated (during operation), that is, while the first lowering operation section 61D is being pressed. A lowering control signal is continuously output to the control valve 36 to lower the lifting device 8 .
[0038]
On the other hand, in the second mode, the elevation control device 40 raises and lowers the elevation device 8 while the first elevation operation tool 51A is being operated, as described above. is released, the lifting device 8 is moved to a predetermined position. For example, as shown in FIG. 7A, the elevation control device 40 performs reference elevation control for raising and lowering the work device 2 with the reference position P1 as a predetermined position.
