The main transmission unit 5b has a plurality of gears and a shifter that changes the connection of the gears. The main transmission unit 5b changes and outputs (shifts) the rotation input from the propulsion shaft 5a by appropriately changing the connection (engagement) of a plurality of gears with a shifter.
[0021]
The sub-transmission unit 5c has a plurality of gears and a shifter for changing the connection of the gears, like the main transmission unit 5b. The sub-transmission unit 5c changes the rotation input from the main transmission unit 5b and outputs (shifts) by appropriately changing the connection (engagement) of the plurality of gears with a shifter.
The shuttle unit 5d has a shuttle shaft 12 and a forward/rearward travel switching unit 13. The power output from the auxiliary transmission unit 5c is transmitted to the shuttle shaft 12 via gears and the like. The forward/reverse switching unit 13 is composed of, for example, a hydraulic clutch and the like, and switches the rotation direction of the shuttle shaft 12, that is, the forward and backward movements of the tractor 1 by opening and closing the hydraulic clutch. The shuttle shaft 12 is connected to the rear wheel differential device 20R. The rear wheel differential device 20R rotatably supports a rear axle 21R to which the rear wheel 7R is attached.
[0022]
The PTO power transmission unit 5e has a PTO propulsion shaft 14 and a PTO clutch 15. The PTO propulsion shaft 14 is rotatably supported and can transmit power from the propulsion shaft 5a. The PTO propulsion shaft 14 is connected to the PTO shaft 16 via a gear or the like. The PTO clutch 15 is composed of, for example, a hydraulic clutch or the like, and when the hydraulic clutch is turned on or off, the power of the propulsion shaft 5a is transmitted to the PTO propulsion shaft 14 and the power of the propulsion shaft 5a is not transmitted to the PTO propulsion shaft 14. Switch to the state.
[0023]
The front transmission unit 5f has a first clutch 17 and a second clutch 18. Power from the propulsion shaft 5a can be transmitted to the first clutch 17 and the second clutch, and for example, the power of the shuttle shaft 12 is transmitted via the gear and the transmission shaft. Power from the first clutch 17 and the second clutch 18 can be transmitted to the front axle 21F via the front transmission shaft 22. Specifically, the front transmission shaft 22 is connected to the front wheel differential device 20F, and the front wheel differential device 20R rotatably supports the front axle 21F to which the front wheels 7F are attached.
[0024]
The first clutch 17 and the second clutch 18 are hydraulic clutches and the like. An oil passage is connected to the first clutch 17, and the oil passage is connected to a first working valve 25 to which the working oil discharged from the hydraulic pump is supplied. The first clutch 17 switches between a connected state and a disconnected state depending on the opening degree of the first operating valve 25. An oil passage is connected to the second clutch 18, and the second operation valve 26 is connected to the oil passage. The second clutch 18 switches between a connected state and a disconnected state depending on the opening degree of the second operation valve 26. The first operating valve 25 and the second operating valve 26 are, for example, two-position switching valves with electromagnetic valves, and are switched to a connected state or a disconnected state by exciting or demagnetizing a solenoid of the electromagnetic valve.
[0025]
When the first clutch 17 is disengaged and the second clutch 18 is engaged, the power of the shuttle shaft 12 is transmitted to the front wheels 7F through the second clutch 18. As a result, the front wheels and the rear wheels are driven by four wheels (4WD) by power, and the rotation speeds of the front wheels and the rear wheels are substantially the same (4WD constant speed state). On the other hand, when the first clutch 17 is in the engaged state and the second clutch 18 is in the disengaged state, four-wheel drive is performed and the rotation speed of the front wheels becomes faster than the rotation speed of the rear wheels (4WD acceleration state). In addition, when the first clutch 17 and the second clutch 18 are in the connected state, the power of the shuttle shaft 12 is not transmitted to the front wheels 7F, so that the rear wheels are driven by two wheels (2WD).
The
tractor 1 includes a position detection device 40. The position detection device 40 is a device that detects its own position (positioning information including latitude and longitude) by a satellite positioning system (positioning satellite) such as D-GPS, GPS, GLONASS, Hokuto, Galileo, and Michibiki. That is, the position detection device 40 receives the received signal (position of the positioning satellite, transmission time, correction information, etc.) transmitted from the positioning satellite, and detects the position (for example, latitude and longitude) based on the received signal. The position detection device 40 includes a reception device 41 and an inertial measurement unit (IMU: Inertial Measurement Unit) 42. The receiving device 41 is a device that has an antenna or the like and receives a reception signal transmitted from a positioning satellite, and is attached to the vehicle body 3 separately from the inertial measuring device 42. In this embodiment, the receiving device 41 is attached to a rope provided on the vehicle body 3. Note that the mounting location of the receiving device 41 is not limited to the embodiment.
[0026]
The inertial measurement device 42 has an acceleration sensor that detects acceleration, a gyro sensor that detects angular velocity, and the like. A roll angle, a pitch angle, a yaw angle, and the like of the vehicle body 3 can be detected by the inertial measurement device 42 provided below the vehicle body 3, for example, the driver's seat 10.
As
shown in FIG. 1, the tractor 1 includes a steering device 11. The steering device 11 is a device that can perform manual steering for steering the vehicle body 3 by a driver's operation and automatic steering for automatically steering the vehicle body 3 without a driver's operation.
[0027]
The steering device 11 includes a steering handle (steering wheel) 30 and a steering shaft (rotating shaft) 31 that rotatably supports the steering handle 30. The steering device 11 also has an auxiliary mechanism (power steering device) 32. The auxiliary mechanism 32 assists the rotation of the steering shaft 31 (steering handle 30) by hydraulic pressure or the like. The auxiliary mechanism 32 includes a hydraulic pump 33, a control valve 34 to which hydraulic oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 33 is supplied, and a steering cylinder 35 operated by the control valve 34. The control valve 34 is, for example, a three-position switching valve that can be switched by moving a spool or the like, and switches according to the steering direction (rotational direction) of the steering shaft 31. The steering cylinder 35 is connected to an arm (knuckle arm) 36 that changes the direction of the front wheels 7F.
[0028]
Therefore, when the driver grips the steering wheel 30 and operates it in one direction or the other direction, the switching position and the opening degree of the control valve 34 are switched according to the rotation direction of the steering wheel 30, and the control valve 34 is switched. The steering direction of the front wheels 7F can be changed by expanding and contracting the steering cylinder 35 leftward or rightward in accordance with the switching position and the opening degree. That is, the vehicle body 3 can change the traveling direction to the left or right by manually steering the steering wheel 30.
[0029]
Next, automatic steering will be described.
As shown in FIG. 2, when performing automatic steering, first, the travel reference line L1 is set before performing automatic steering. After setting the traveling reference line L1, automatic traveling can be performed by setting the traveling scheduled line L2 parallel to the traveling reference line L1. In the automatic steering, steering of the tractor 1 (vehicle body 3) in the traveling direction is automatically performed so that the vehicle body position measured by the position detection device 40 and the planned travel line L2 match.
[0030]
Specifically, before performing automatic steering, the tractor 1 (vehicle body 3) is moved to a predetermined position in the field (S1), and the driver operates the steering changeover switch 52 provided on the tractor 1 at the predetermined position. When performed (S2), the vehicle body position measured by the position detection device 40 is set to the starting point P10 of the travel reference line L1 (S3). Further, when the tractor 1 (vehicle body 3) is moved from the starting point P10 of the travel reference line L1 (S4) and the driver operates the steering changeover switch 52 at a predetermined position (S5), it is measured by the position detection device 40. The vehicle body position is set to the end point P11 of the travel reference line L1 (S6). Therefore, the straight line connecting the start point P10 and the end point P11 is set as the travel reference line L1.
[0031]
After setting the traveling reference line L1 (after S6), for example, the tractor 1 (vehicle body 3) is moved to a place different from the place where the traveling reference line L1 is set (S7), and the driver operates the steering changeover switch 52. (S8), the scheduled travel line L2, which is a straight line parallel to the travel reference line L1, is set (S9). After setting the planned travel line L2, automatic steering is started, and the traveling direction of the tractor 1 (vehicle body 3) is changed to follow the planned travel line L2. For example, when the current vehicle body position is on the left side of the planned traveling line L2, the front wheels 7F are steered to the right, and when the current vehicle body position is on the right side of the planned traveling line L2, the front wheels 7F. Is steered to the left. During automatic steering, the driver can manually change the travel speed (vehicle speed) of the tractor 1 (vehicle body 3) by changing the operation amount of the accelerator member (accelerator pedal, accelerator lever) provided on the tractor 1. It can be changed by changing the gear position of the transmission.
[0032]
Further, after the automatic steering is started, when the driver operates the steering changeover switch 52 at an arbitrary position, the automatic steering can be ended. That is, the end point of the planned traveling line L2 can be set by ending the automatic steering by operating the steering changeover switch 52. That is, the length from the start point to the end point of the planned travel line L2 can be set longer or shorter than the travel reference line L1. In other words, the planned travel line L2 is not associated with the length of the travel reference line L1, and the planned travel line L2 allows the vehicle to travel while automatically steering a distance longer than the length of the travel reference line L1.
[0033]
As shown in FIG. 1, the steering device 11 has an automatic steering mechanism 37. The automatic steering mechanism 37 is a mechanism for automatically steering the vehicle body 3, and automatically steers the vehicle body 3 based on the position of the vehicle body 3 (vehicle body position) detected by the position detection device 40. The automatic steering mechanism 37 includes a steering motor 38 and a gear mechanism 39. The steering motor 38 is a motor whose rotation direction, rotation speed, rotation angle, and the like can be controlled based on the vehicle body position. The gear mechanism 37 includes a gear that is provided on the steering shaft 31 and rotates with the steering shaft 31, and a gear that is provided on the rotation shaft of the steering motor 38 and rotates with the rotation shaft. When the rotation shaft of the steering motor 38 rotates, the steering shaft 31 automatically rotates (rotates) via the gear mechanism 37, and the steering direction of the front wheels 7F is changed so that the vehicle body position matches the planned travel line L2. Can be changed.
As
shown in FIGS. 1 and 20, the tractor 1 includes a display device 45. The display device 45 is a device capable of displaying various information regarding the tractor 1, and is capable of displaying at least operation information of the tractor 1. The display device 45 is provided in front of the driver's seat 10.
As
shown in FIG. 1, the tractor 1 includes a setting switch 51. The setting switch 51 is a switch that switches to a setting mode in which setting is performed at least before the start of automatic steering. The setting mode is a mode in which various settings relating to the automatic steering are performed before the automatic steering is started, and for example, a starting point and an ending point of the traveling reference line L1 are set.
[0034]
The setting switch 51 can be switched to ON or OFF. When it is ON, it outputs a signal indicating that the setting mode is valid, and when it is OFF, it outputs a signal indicating that the setting mode is invalid. The setting switch 51 outputs a signal indicating that the setting mode is valid to the display device 45 when the setting switch 51 is on, and outputs a signal indicating that the setting mode is invalid to the display device 45 when the setting switch 51 is off.
[0035]
The tractor 1 includes a steering changeover switch 52. The steering changeover switch 52 is a switch for changing over the start or end of automatic steering. Specifically, the steering changeover switch 52 can switch up, down, front, and rear from the neutral position, and when the setting mode is valid and the neutral position is switched to the downside, the automatic steering is started. When the setting mode is valid and the neutral position is switched to the upper position, the end of automatic steering is output. Further, the steering changeover switch 52 outputs that the current vehicle body position is set at the starting point P10 of the travel reference line L1 when the setting mode is enabled and the position is subsequently changed over from the neutral position. 52 outputs that the current vehicle body position is set to the end point P11 of the travel reference line L1 when the neutral position is switched to the front while the setting mode is valid.
The
tractor 1 includes a correction switch 53. The correction switch 53 is a switch that corrects the vehicle body position (latitude, longitude) measured by the position detection device 40. That is, the correction switch 53 uses the received signal (positioning satellite position, transmission time, correction information, etc.) and the measurement information (acceleration, angular velocity) measured by the inertial measurement device 42 to calculate the vehicle body position (referred to as the calculated vehicle body position). ) Is a switch for correcting.
[0036]
The correction switch 53 is composed of a push switch that can be pressed or a slide switch that can slide. The case where the correction switch 53 is a push switch or a slide switch will be described below.
When the correction switch 53 is a push switch, the correction amount is set based on the number of times the push switch is operated. The correction amount is determined by the correction amount=number of operations×correction amount per one operation number. For example, as shown in FIG. 3A, the correction amount increases by several centimeters or tens of centimeters each time the push switch is operated. The number of push switch operations is input to the first controller 60A, and the first controller 60A sets (calculates) the correction amount based on the number of operations.
[0037]
When the correction switch 53 is a slide switch, the correction amount is set based on the operation amount (displacement amount) of the slide switch. For example, the correction amount is determined by the correction amount=the displacement amount from the predetermined position. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the correction amount increases by several centimeters or tens of centimeters each time the displacement amount of the slide switch increases by 5 mm. The operation amount (displacement amount) of the slide switch is input to the first control device 60A, and the first control device 60A sets (calculates) the correction amount based on the displacement amount. The above-described correction amount increasing method and increase ratio are not limited to the above-described numerical values.
[0038]
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the correction switch 53 has a first correction section 53A and a second correction section 53B. The first correction unit 53A is a portion that commands the correction of the vehicle body position corresponding to one side in the width direction of the vehicle body 3, that is, the left side. The second correction unit 53B is a portion that commands the correction of the vehicle body position corresponding to the other side in the width direction of the vehicle body 3, that is, the right side.
[0039]
As shown in FIG. 4A, when the correction switch 53 is a push switch, the first correction unit 53A and the second correction unit 53B are ON or OFF switches that automatically return each time the operation is performed. The switch forming the first correction unit 53A and the switch forming the second correction unit 53B are integrated. The switch forming the first correction unit 53A and the switch forming the second correction unit 53B may be arranged separately from each other. As shown in FIG. 3A, each time the first correction unit 53A is pressed, the correction amount (left correction amount) corresponding to the left side of the vehicle body 3 increases. Further, every time the second correction unit 53B is pressed, the correction amount (right correction amount) corresponding to the right side of the vehicle body 3 increases.
[0040]
As shown in FIG. 4B, when the correction switch 53 is a slide switch, the first correction unit 53A and the second correction unit 53B include a knob 55 that moves left or right along the longitudinal direction of the long hole. There is. When the correction switch 53 is a slide switch, the first correction unit 53A and the second correction unit 53B are arranged apart from each other in the width direction. As shown in FIG. 3B, when the knob 55 is gradually displaced from the predetermined reference position to the left, the left correction amount increases in accordance with the displacement amount. Further, when the knob 55 is gradually displaced rightward from the predetermined reference position, the right correction amount increases according to the displacement amount. As shown in FIG. 4B, in the case of a slide switch, the first correction unit 53A and the second correction unit 53B are integrally formed, and the reference position of the knob 55 is set to the central portion, The left correction amount may be set when moving to the left, and the right correction amount may be set when moving the knob 55 from the intermediate position to the right.

Next, the relationship between the correction amount (left correction amount, right correction amount) by the correction switch 53, the planned travel route L2, and the behavior of the tractor 1 (vehicle body 3) (travel locus) will be described.
FIG. 5A shows a state in which the calculated vehicle body position W1 deviates to the right while the vehicle is traveling straight ahead during automatic steering. As shown in FIG. 5A, in the state where the automatic steering is started, the actual position (actual position W2) of the tractor 1 (vehicle body 3) and the calculated vehicle body position W1 match, and the actual position W2 and the planned travel route When L2 matches, the tractor 1 travels along the planned travel route L2. That is, in the section P1 in which the positioning of the position detection device 40 has no error and the vehicle body position (calculated vehicle body position W1) detected by the position detection device 40 is the same as the actual position W2, the tractor 1 travels along the planned travel route L2. To run. If the positioning of the position detection device 40 has no error and no correction is performed, the calculated vehicle body position W1 and the corrected vehicle body position corrected by the correction amount (corrected vehicle body position) W3 have the same value. The corrected vehicle body position W3 is the corrected vehicle body position W3=calculated vehicle body position W1-correction amount.
[0042]
Here, in the vicinity of the position P20, although the actual position W2 does not deviate from the planned traveling route L2, due to various influences, an error occurs in the positioning of the position detecting device 40, and the position detecting device 40 causes an error. If the detected vehicle body position W1 deviates to the right with respect to the planned traveling route L2 (actual position W2) and the deviation amount W4 is maintained, the tractor 1 shifts to the calculated vehicle body position W1 and the planned traveling route L2. It is determined that a deviation has occurred, and the tractor 1 is steered to the left so as to eliminate the deviation W4 between the calculated vehicle body position W1 and the planned travel route L2. Then, the actual position W2 of the tractor 1 is shifted to the planned travel route L2 by steering to the left. Then, it is assumed that the driver notices that the tractor 1 is displaced from the planned traveling route L2 and steers the second correction unit 53B at the position P21 to increase the right correction amount from zero. The right correction amount is added to the calculated vehicle body position W1, and the corrected vehicle body position (corrected vehicle body position) W3 can be made substantially the same as the actual position W2. That is, by setting the right correction amount by the second correction unit 53B, it is possible to correct the vehicle body position of the position detection device 40 in a direction to eliminate the deviation amount W4 that has occurred near the position P20. As shown in the position P21 of FIG. 5A, when the actual position W2 of the tractor 1 is away from the planned travel route L2 on the left side after the vehicle body position is corrected, the tractor 1 is steered to the right and the tractor 1 is moved to the right. The actual position W2 can be matched with the planned travel route L2.
[0043]
FIG. 5B shows a state in which the calculated vehicle body position W1 deviates to the left while the vehicle is traveling straight ahead during automatic steering. As shown in FIG. 5B, when the actual position W2 and the calculated vehicle body position W1 match and the actual position W2 and the planned travel route L2 match in the state where the automatic steering is started, Similarly, the tractor 1 travels along the planned travel route L2. That is, as in FIG. 5A, in the section P2 where the positioning of the position detection device 40 has no error, the tractor 1 travels along the planned travel route L2. Further, as in FIG. 5A, the calculated vehicle body position W1 and the corrected vehicle body position W3 have the same value.
[0044]
Here, at the position P22, due to various influences, an error occurs in the positioning of the position detection device 40, the vehicle body position W1 detected by the position detection device 40 deviates to the left side from the actual position W2, and the deviation amount W5 becomes If it is maintained, the tractor 1 steers the tractor 1 to the right so as to eliminate the deviation amount W5 between the calculated vehicle body position W1 and the planned travel route L2. Then, it is assumed that the driver notices that the tractor 1 is displaced from the planned traveling route L2, and the driver steers the first correction unit 53A at the position P23 to increase the left correction amount from zero. Then, the left correction amount is added to the calculated vehicle body position W1, and the corrected vehicle body position (corrected vehicle body position) W3 can be made substantially the same as the actual position W2. That is, by setting the left correction amount by the first correction unit 53A, it is possible to correct the vehicle body position of the position detection device 40 in a direction to eliminate the deviation amount W5 that has occurred near the position P22. As shown in the position P23 of FIG. 5B, when the actual position W2 of the tractor 1 is separated from the planned travel route L2 to the right after the vehicle body position is corrected, the tractor 1 is steered to the left and the tractor 1 is moved to the left. The actual position W2 can be matched with the planned travel route L2.
