(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above conventional configuration has the following problems. As shown in FIG. 6, the turning radius of the tractor at a certain amount of operation of the turning lever 30 is V, where the average vehicle speed of the tractor is V, and ΔV is the speed difference between the left and right crawler belts caused by the difference in rotation between the left and right actuating wheels. Become. In this state, if the transmission is operated to change the speed, or the external resistance applied to the tractor changes, the average speed becomes V ',
Since the HSS pump is driven directly from the engine, the pressure oil flow rate does not change and the speed difference remains ΔV, so the turning radius becomes R '. That is, as shown in the graph of turning lever operation amount and turning radius in FIG. 7, even if the turning lever operation amount is constant, the turning radius differs depending on the vehicle speed. When vehicle speed V1 <V2 <V3, the turning radius increases as the vehicle speed increases. Is difficult to do. Further, since the horsepower required for turning is large, there is a problem that the vehicle speed greatly decreases when turning, and an engine with a large torque rise is required to prevent this. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and is an efficient hydrostatic swing control in which the turning radius is always kept constant according to the operation amount of the turning lever to facilitate the operation and the horsepower required during turning is reduced. The purpose is to provide a device.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the hydrostatic turning control device according to the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an overall system diagram of the first embodiment, and the power of the engine 6 is transmitted from the torque converter / transmission 7 through the horizontal shaft device 16 to the left and right starting wheels 8. The variable turning HSS pump 10 and HSS motor 12 directly driven by the engine 6 constitute a closed circuit by the circuits 13 and 14. The HSS motor 12 drives the turning device 15 to give a rotation difference to the left and right starting wheels 8.
An operation angle detector 2 is provided below the turning lever 1 and is connected to the control device 5. A rotation sensor 3 is provided at the outlet of the engine, and a rotation sensor 4 is provided at the outlet of the transmission 7 and is connected to the control device 5, respectively. HSS pump 1
At 0, a capacity control device 11 for controlling the discharge amount per rotation, that is, the capacity is attached and is connected to the control device 5. Next, the operation will be described. Since the turning radius R is proportional to the average vehicle speed V and inversely proportional to the speed difference ΔV between the left and right crawler belts as described in FIG. 6, the following equation is established.

The speed difference ΔV between the left and right tracks is determined by the rotation speed of the HSS motor, that is, the discharge amount of the HSS pump. Since the discharge amount of the HSS pump is the product of the capacity and the rotation speed, the capacity is qp and the engine speed is NE. For example, ΔV = k2 × qp × NE (2) Since the vehicle speed is proportional to the transmission outlet speed NT, V = k3 × NT (3). From equations (1), (2) and (3) Is found. k, k1, k2, k3 are constants. That is, the capacity qp of the HSS pump is given the turning radius R, and the transmission outlet rotation speed
It can be calculated by knowing NT and engine speed NE.
