Abstract

PURPOSE:To keep running speed always constant regardless of uphill or downhill tilt by detecting a fore-and-aft tilt attitude of a running machine body, operating a drive mechanism according to the detected result either to a higher speed side or lower speed side, and changing the speed of a hydraulic type continuously variable transmission device. CONSTITUTION:A speed setting means A is constituted by providing a control system B for keeping a constant running speed with both a speed setting pedal 8 for setting a speed relative to a hydraulic type continuously variable transmission device namely an HST3 and a potentiometer 9 for detecting the swing amount of the pedal 8. A drive mechanism 10 is further provided for rotating a trunnion shaft 3A of the HST3. The drive mechanism 10 is controlled based on a signal from the potentiometer 9. Constituting a tilt sensor 14 with a weight 12 and a potentiometer 13 and based on the detected signal from the tilt sensor 14, a slope is determined if it is uphill or downhill by means of a control device 17. The HST3 is then controlled either to higher speed side or to lower speed side according to the determined result.

In this case, since it is necessary to know the actual vehicle speed, it is necessary to detect the rotational speed of the traveling axle, but for this purpose, it is not possible to attach an encoder directly to the traveling axle, so it is necessary to detect the rotational speed of the traveling axle. A configuration that transmits power between the traveling axle and the encoder input shaft is required, or even if a non-contact sensor is used for measurement, an expensive sensor such as an optical or electromagnetic induction type is required, and in either case, the vehicle speed detection structure is tended to be complicated and expensive.

The features of the present invention are: (1) The HST is configured to perform a speed change operation via a drive mechanism to a speed change position that is manually set by a speed setting means; (2) The forward and backward tilted posture of the traveling aircraft with respect to the absolute horizontal reference plane is detected. (1) The drive mechanism is operated to a higher speed side than the set gear shift position based on the uphill slope detection result of this tilt sensor, and the drive mechanism is operated to the lower speed side from the set gear shift position based on the downhill slope detection result. The present invention has the following features: It has a control means that operates to maintain a constant traveling vehicle speed, and its effects are as follows.

[Function] When driving on a slope, the running load torque changes depending on the degree of inclination. Therefore, in the case of an uphill slope, the running load torque increases as the slope angle increases, and in the case of a downhill slope, the running load torque increases as the slope angle increases. As the torque increases, the running load torque decreases. Therefore, by measuring the longitudinal inclination with respect to the direction of travel, it is possible to indirectly know the increase or decrease in travel speed on a slope compared to a flat land.

In this type of agricultural tractor, the torque (T
) As shown in the one-rotation speed (N) characteristic curve, travel is controlled by an all-speed governor-type governor mechanism suitable for work travel, so if the travel load torque (S) becomes large on an uphill slope. , the engine characteristics change from the state at point (a) to the state at point (b). Here, torque (T) is T
, increases from T2 to match the load, but the rotational speed decreases from N to Nz, and the running speed decreases. Therefore, by switching the HST shift position to point (c), which is higher speed than the set shift position, the rotational speed can be adjusted based on the rotational speed while maintaining the torque (T) commensurate with the running load torque (S). By maintaining the state at N, it is possible to compensate for the decrease in rotational speed.

In this way, by using the inclination sensor as a sensor that indirectly detects increases and decreases in traveling speed, the binding conditions due to the positional relationship with the traveling axle etc. are reduced compared to the conventional configuration which directly measures the traveling speed. Therefore, the sensor mounting position can be selected by making effective use of the empty space of the traveling aircraft, reducing the restrictions.In addition, as a means of compensating for speed changes on slopes, HST was originally designed to change the HST setting. Since the vehicle is equipped with a transmission means for the vehicle, there is no need for a mechanism that links the cruise control mechanism and the accelerator, as is the case with general passenger cars.
