DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is useful for switching a traveling vehicle body between a working state and a non-working state, such as controlling the cutting height in a combine harvester or controlling the plowing depth in a tiller. A working device is provided that can be raised and lowered by a drive mechanism, and the working device is provided with an ultrasonic sensor for detecting a height above the ground that includes a transmitter and a receiver, and the working device is adjusted based on the height above the ground detected by the sensor. The work N includes a control mechanism that automatically operates the drive mechanism so as to maintain the height above the ground within a set range.

1. Since the ultrasonic sensor is compact, the transmitter and receiver are placed close to each other. However, in the past, the transmission interval of the transmitter was set with emphasis only on control accuracy, and as a result, when the height of the work equipment above the ground became relatively large, the ultrasonic waves reflected from the ground were transmitted to the receiver. Ultrasonic waves are emitted from the transmitter before they reach the receiver, and the ultrasonic waves that should reach the receiver are interfered with by the ultrasonic waves emitted from the transmitter, and in extreme cases, the reflected ultrasound waves are canceled out and reach the receiver. There was a drawback that the accuracy of height detection decreased, such as not being received by the user.
