As shown in fig. 2, the transmission 5 includes a main shaft (propeller shaft) 5a, a main transmission unit 5b, a sub-transmission unit 5c, a shuttle unit 5d, and a PTO power transmission unit 5 e. The propeller shaft 5a is rotatably supported by a case of the transmission 5, and power from a crankshaft of the engine 4 is transmitted to the propeller shaft 5 a. The main transmission unit 5b includes a plurality of gears and a switching mechanism for switching the connection of the gears.

The sub-transmission unit 5c includes a plurality of gears and a switching mechanism for changing the connection of the gears, as in the main transmission unit 5 b. The sub-transmission unit 5c changes the rotation input from the main transmission unit 5b and outputs (shifts) the rotation by appropriately changing the connection (meshing) of the plurality of gears by the conversion mechanism.
The shuttle portion 5d includes a shuttle shaft 12 and a forward/reverse switching portion 13. The power output from the sub-transmission portion 5c is transmitted to the shuttle shaft 12 via gears and the like. The front-rear switching unit 13 is configured by, for example, a hydraulic clutch, and switches the rotation direction of the shuttle shaft 12, that is, the forward and reverse of the tractor 1, by turning on and off the hydraulic clutch. The shuttle shaft 12 is connected to a rear wheel differential. The rear wheel differential device rotatably supports a rear axle to which the rear wheel 7R is attached.
The PTO power transmission portion 5e has a PTO propeller shaft 14 and a PTO clutch 15. The PTO propulsion shaft 14 is rotatably supported and can transmit power from the propulsion shaft 5 a. The PTO propeller shaft 14 is connected to the PTO shaft 16 via a gear or the like. The PTO clutch 15 is constituted by, for example, a hydraulic clutch or the like, and switches between a state in which the power of the propeller shaft 5a is transmitted to the PTO propeller shaft 14 and a state in which the power of the propeller shaft 5a is not transmitted to the PTO propeller shaft 14 by turning on and off the hydraulic clutch.
As shown in fig. 2, the tractor 1 includes a steering device 11. The steering device 11 includes a handle (steering wheel) 11a, a steering shaft (rotating shaft) 11b that rotates in accordance with rotation of the handle 11a, and an assist mechanism (power steering mechanism) 11c that assists steering of the handle 11 a. The assist mechanism 11c includes a hydraulic pump 21, a control valve 22 to which hydraulic oil discharged from the hydraulic pump 21 is supplied, and a steering cylinder 23 operated by the control valve 22. The control valve 22 is a solenoid valve that operates based on a control signal. The control valve 22 is, for example, a 3-position switching valve that can be switched by movement of a spool or the like. The control valve 22 can also be switched by steering the steering shaft 11 b. The steering cylinder 23 is connected to an arm (knuckle arm) 24 that changes the orientation of the front wheels 7F.
Therefore, when the driver operates the handle 11a, the switching position and the opening degree of the control valve 22 are switched by the handle 11a, and the steering cylinder 23 is extended and contracted leftward or rightward by the switching position and the opening degree of the control valve 22, whereby the steering direction of the front wheels 7F can be changed. That is, the tractor 1 (the running vehicle body 3) can be manually steered by the steering mechanism 11.
The tractor 1 (the running vehicle body 3) may be automatically steered. As shown in fig. 1, the steering device 11 has an automatic steering mechanism 25. The automatic steering mechanism 25 is a mechanism that performs automatic steering of the running vehicle body 3, and performs automatic steering of the running vehicle body 3 based on the position of the running vehicle body 3 (vehicle body position) and a preset running schedule. The automatic steering mechanism 25 includes a steering motor 26 and a gear mechanism 27. The steering motor 26 is a motor that can control a rotation direction, a rotation speed, a rotation angle, and the like based on the current position. The gear mechanism 27 includes a gear provided on the steering shaft 11b and rotating together with the steering shaft 11b, and a gear provided on the rotating shaft of the steering motor 26 and rotating together with the rotating shaft. When the rotation shaft of the steering motor 26 rotates, the steering shaft 11b automatically rotates (turns) via the gear mechanism 27, and the steering direction of the front wheels 7F can be changed so that the vehicle body position coincides with the planned travel line. The steering mechanism 11 is an example, and is not limited to the above configuration.
As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the tractor 1 includes a plurality of positioning devices 30. The positioning devices 30 are devices that perform positioning based on satellite signals transmitted from positioning satellites. Specifically, the plurality of positioning devices 30 include a 1 st positioning device 31 and a 2 nd positioning device 32. The 1 st Positioning device 31 performs Positioning based on satellite signals of GNSS satellites 101 such as GPS (Global Positioning System). The 2 nd positioning device 32 performs positioning based on the Satellite signals and the like of the Quasi-Zenith satellites (QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System) satellites) 102 such as みち weaving き.
First, the arrangement of the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32 will be described.
As shown in fig. 3, the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32 are respectively provided in the cab 9 of the tractor 1. The 1 st positioning device 31 is disposed at the center in the width direction of the ceiling 9a of the cab 9, and the 2 nd positioning device 32 is also disposed at the center in the width direction of the ceiling 9a of the cab 9. That is, when observing the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32, the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32 are arranged at the same position in the width direction of the roof 9a and are arranged in the traveling direction of the traveling vehicle body 3 (the direction orthogonal to the width direction, the front-rear direction).
More specifically, the 1 st positioning device 31 includes a housing 31a that houses electronic/electronic components and the like, and a 1 st antenna 31b that receives satellite signals (1 st satellite signals) of the GNSS satellites 101. Frame 31a is attached to support bracket 40 fixed to ceiling 9a of cab 9 by fastening means 41 such as bolts and nuts. The 1 st antenna 31b receives, as the 1 st satellite signal, the L1 signal (center frequency of 1575.42MHz) and the L2 signal (center frequency of 1227.60MHz) transmitted from the GNSS satellite 101. The L1 signal includes navigation messages, C/A codes, and L1 carriers, and the L2 signal includes at least L2 carriers.
The 2 nd positioning device 32 has a housing 32a for housing electronic/electronic components and the like, and a 2 nd antenna 32 b. The frame 31a is positioned in front of the frame 32a, and is attached to the support bracket 40 to which the frame 31a is attached by a fastener 41. The frame 31a can be detached from the support bracket 40 by loosening the nut screwed with the bolt.
The 2 nd antenna 32b receives at least the L6 signal (center frequency 1278.75MHz) transmitted from the QZSS satellite 102 as the 2 nd satellite signal. The L6 signal contains calibration information (centimeter-level localization enhancement information). The correction information includes satellite clock error information, satellite signal bias error information, satellite orbit error information, convection current circle propagation error information, ionosphere propagation error information, and the like. The 2 nd antenna 32b may receive the L1 signal and the L2 signal transmitted from the QZSS positioning satellite 102 as the 2 nd satellite signal. The 2 nd antenna 32b may receive the 1 st satellite signal (L1 signal and L2 signal) transmitted from the GNSS satellite 101 in addition to the 2 nd satellite signal.
When focusing on the state in which the housing 31a and the housing 32a are attached to the support bracket 40, the 1 st antenna 31b of the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd antenna 32b of the 2 nd positioning device 32 are aligned at the same position in the width direction of the top portion 9a and at a predetermined distance in the traveling direction. The distance J1 in the traveling direction of the 1 st antenna 31b and the 2 nd antenna 32b is arbitrarily set. In addition, the heights (heights) of the 1 st antenna 31b and the 2 nd antenna 32b with respect to the ground (with respect to the ground) are set to be the same. The top end of the 1 st antenna 31b and the top end of the 2 nd antenna 32b are disposed on the same plane (same horizontal plane) when the tractor 1 is placed horizontally.
Next, the configuration of the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32 will be described.
The 1 st positioning device 31 includes a housing 31a and a 1 st antenna 31b, as well as a signal processing unit 31c, a 1 st position calculating unit 31d, a 1 st acquiring unit 31e, and a 1 st output unit 31 f. The signal processing unit 31c, the 1 st position calculating unit 31d, the 1 st acquiring unit 31e, and the 1 st output unit 31f are constituted by electronic/electronic components provided in the 1 st positioning device 31, and the like.
The signal processing unit 31c is a part that performs processing of the satellite signal received by the 1 st antenna 31b, and generates observation data by amplifying and demodulating, for example, the L1 signal and the L2 signal received by the 1 st antenna 31 b.
The 1 st position calculator 31d calculates the position (1 st position) based on the observation data (demodulated L1 signal and L2 signal) output from the signal processor 31 c. That is, the 1 st position calculating unit 31d performs the individual positioning based on the observation data (1 st observation data) of the GNSS satellite 101. The 1 st acquisition unit 31e acquires information transmitted from the 2 nd positioning device 32 and outputs the acquired information to the 1 st position calculation unit 31 d. The 1 st output unit 31f outputs the result (the 1 st positioning result) calculated by the 1 st position calculating unit 31d to the 2 nd positioning device 32.
The 2 nd positioning device 32 includes a signal processing unit 32c, a 2 nd position calculating unit 32d, a 2 nd acquiring unit 32e, and a 2 nd output unit 32f in addition to the housing 32a and the 1 st antenna 32 b. The signal processing unit 32c, the 2 nd position calculating unit 32d, the 2 nd acquiring unit 32e, and the 2 nd output unit 32f are constituted by electronic/electronic components and the like provided in the 2 nd positioning device 32.
The signal processing unit 32c is a part that performs processing of the satellite signal received by the 2 nd antenna 32b, and generates observation data by performing amplification and demodulation of the L1 signal, the L2 signal, and the L6 signal received by the 2 nd antenna 32b, for example. The L1 signal and the L2 signal received by the 2 nd antenna 32b may be the 1 st satellite signal of the GNSS satellite 101 or the 2 nd satellite signal of the QZSS positioning satellite 102.
The 2 nd position calculator 32d calculates the position (2 nd position), that is, the three-dimensional coordinates (x2, y2, z2), based on the observation data (demodulated L1 signal, L2 signal, and L6 signal) output from the signal processor 32 c. That is, the 2 nd position calculator 32d precisely measures the position based on the observation data (2 nd observation data) of the QZSS satellite 102. The 2 nd acquisition unit 32e acquires the information transmitted from the 1 st positioning device 31. The 2 nd output unit (correction information output unit) 32f outputs the L6 signal demodulated by the signal processing unit 32c, i.e., the correction information obtained from the L6 signal, to the 1 st positioning device 31.
The 1 st positioning device 31 (the 1 st position calculating unit 31d) can perform positioning alone by using the satellite signals (the L1 signal and the L2 signal) received by the 1 st antenna 31b, but in the present embodiment, positioning can be performed by using the correction information (the correction information output by the correction information output unit 32f) of the satellite signal (the L6 signal) received by the 2 nd antenna 32 b.
When the 1 st acquisition unit 31e acquires the correction information output from the 2 nd output unit (correction information output unit) 32f, the 1 st positioning device 31 obtains the physical position (latitude, longitude, altitude), that is, the three-dimensional coordinates (x1, y1, z1) of the 1 st positioning device 31 using the acquired 1 st observation information (including the satellite clock error information, the satellite signal offset error information, the satellite orbit error information, the orbit propagation error information, and the ionosphere propagation error information) and the L1 signal and the L2 signal (navigation message, C/a code, L1 carrier, and the like) received by the 1 st antenna 31 b. When the position is found using the calibration information, the 1 st output unit 31f outputs the 1 st positioning result including the found position to the 2 nd positioning device 32.
As described above, the 1 st positioning device 31 obtains the position using the calibration information received by the 2 nd positioning device 32 and the L1 signal and the L2 signal received by itself, and thus can calculate the position with high accuracy.
As shown in fig. 1, the 2 nd positioning device 32 includes a state calculation unit 32 g. The state calculating unit 32g is constituted by electronic/electronic components and the like provided in the 2 nd positioning device 32.
The state calculating unit 32g determines any one of the azimuth (azimuth) and the posture of the traveling vehicle body 3 based on the 1 st positioning information obtained by the 1 st positioning device 31 using the L1 signal, the L2 signal, and the L6 signal (correction information) and the 2 nd positioning information obtained by the 2 nd position calculating unit 32d using the L1 signal, the L2 signal, and the L6 signal. For example, the state calculation unit 32g obtains the pitch angle θ 1 as the posture of the traveling vehicle body 3. As shown in fig. 4A, for example, the state calculating unit 32g calculates the pitch angle θ 1 using a three-dimensional base line vector based on the predetermined base line length (distance in the traveling direction) J1 of the 1 st antenna 31b and the 2 nd antenna 32b, the three-dimensional coordinates (x1, y1, z1) calculated by the 1 st position calculating unit 31d, and the three-dimensional coordinates (x2, y2, z2) calculated by the 2 nd position calculating unit 32 d. When the heights (heights) of the 1 st antenna 31b and the 2 nd antenna 32b are different, the state calculation unit 32g obtains the pitch angle θ 1 by removing the height difference between the 1 st antenna 31b and the 2 nd antenna 32 b.
As shown in fig. 4B, the state calculating unit 32g may obtain the azimuth angle θ 2 of the traveling vehicle body 3. For example, the state calculating unit 32g may calculate the azimuth angle θ 2 using a three-dimensional baseline vector obtained from the 1 st positioning information and the 2 nd positioning information. As described above, the state calculation unit 32g can determine the pitch angle θ 1 and the azimuth angle θ 2 of the vehicle body 3.
The state calculating unit 32g may calculate the roll angle θ 3 of the running vehicle body 3. The mounting of the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32 to the tractor 1 when determining the roll angle θ 3 is different from the above-described embodiment. First, the installation of the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32 will be described.
As shown in fig. 5, the 1 st positioning device 31 is disposed on one side (left side) in the width direction of the ceiling 9a of the cab 9, and the 2 nd positioning device 32 is disposed on the other side (right side) in the width direction of the ceiling 9a of the cab 9. That is, when observing the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32, the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32 are arranged at the same position in the traveling direction of the roof 9a and are arranged side by side in the width direction of the traveling vehicle body 3.
Specifically, when focusing on the state in which the housing 31a and the housing 32a are attached to the support bracket 40, the 1 st antenna 31b of the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd antenna 32b of the 2 nd positioning device 32 are positioned at the same position in the traveling direction of the top portion 9a and arranged at a predetermined distance in the width direction. The distance J2 in the traveling direction of the 1 st antenna 31b and the 2 nd antenna 32b is set to be several centimeters to several tens of centimeters.
As shown in fig. 4C, for example, the state calculating unit 32g calculates the roll angle θ 3 using a three-dimensional base line vector based on the predetermined base line length (distance in the width direction) J2 of the 1 st antenna 31b and the 2 nd antenna 32b, the three-dimensional coordinates (x1, y1, z1) obtained by the 1 st position calculating unit 31d, and the three-dimensional coordinates (x2, y2, z2) obtained by the 2 nd position calculating unit 32 d.
The pitch angle θ 1, the azimuth angle θ 2, and the roll angle θ 3 may be obtained by arranging the 1 st positioning device 31 at one side or the other side in the width direction, while being arranged at the front or the rear of the 2 nd positioning device 32. In other words, the pitch angle θ 1, the azimuth angle θ 2, and the roll angle θ 3, which are angles in 3 directions, may be obtained by arranging the plurality of 1 st positioning devices 31 in the front-rear direction and the width direction, respectively.
As shown in fig. 1, the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32 are connected to the control device 50. The control device 50 controls the tractor 1, and controls the work system and the travel system. As control of the work system, the control device 50 raises and lowers the coupling portion 8 in accordance with operation of an operation member provided around the driver's seat 10. Further, as control of the traveling system, the control device 50 controls the change of the rotation speed of the motor and the steering motor 26 of the automatic steering mechanism 25 in accordance with the operation of the accelerator.
Fig. 6 shows a relationship between a position (vehicle body position) Z1 of the tractor 1 during automatic steering and a line to travel Z2. The line to travel Z2 is set in advance by a personal computer or a mobile terminal (smartphone or tablet computer), and is transmitted to the control device 50 or the like by wireless communication, wired communication, or a storage medium. Further, the tractor 1 may be provided with a display device 51 of a touch panel type or the like, and the line to travel Z2 may be input to the display device 51. The line to travel Z2 corresponds to latitude and longitude when set.
In the tractor 1, when the operator performs a predetermined operation to instruct the control device 50 to perform automatic steering, the control device 50 acquires the 2 nd positioning information obtained by the 2 nd positioning device 32, that is, a position included in the 2 nd positioning information as the position (vehicle body position) Z1 of the traveling vehicle body 3. As shown in fig. 6, when the deviation (positional deviation) Δ L1 between the vehicle body position Z1 and the line Z2 is smaller than the threshold value, the control device 50 maintains the rotation angle of the rotation shaft of the steering motor 26. When the positional deviation Δ L1 between the vehicle body position Z1 and the planned travel line Z2 is equal to or greater than the threshold value and the tractor 1 is positioned on the left side with respect to the planned travel line Z2, the control device 50 rotates the rotation shaft of the steering motor 26 so that the steering direction of the tractor 1 is the right direction. When the positional deviation Δ L1 between the vehicle body position Z1 and the planned travel line Z2 is equal to or greater than the threshold value and the tractor 1 is positioned on the right side with respect to the planned travel line Z2, the control device 50 rotates the rotation shaft of the steering motor 26 so that the steering direction of the tractor 1 is the left direction.
In the above-described embodiment, the steering angle of the steering device 11 is changed based on the positional deviation Δ L1 between the vehicle body position Z1 and the planned travel line Z2, but when the orientation (line orientation) F2 of the planned travel line Z2 is different from the orientation (vehicle body orientation) F1 in the traveling direction of the tractor 1, the control device 50 may set the steering angle so that the vehicle body orientation F1 of the tractor 1 coincides with the line orientation F2 of the planned travel line Z2. In this case, the controller 50 obtains an azimuth difference Δ F between the azimuth angle θ 2 (vehicle body azimuth F1) obtained by the state calculating unit 32g and the line azimuth F2, and changes the steering angle of the steering device 11 so that the azimuth difference Δ F becomes zero. The setting of the steering angle in the automatic steering in the above embodiment is an example, and is not limited.
The work machine is provided with: a running vehicle body 3; a 1 st positioning device 31 including a 1 st antenna 31b for receiving a 1 st satellite signal transmitted from the GNSS satellite 101 and a 1 st position calculation unit 31d for performing positioning based on the 1 st satellite signal received by the 1 st antenna 31 b; the 2 nd positioning device 32 includes a 2 nd antenna 32b that receives at least the 2 nd satellite signal transmitted from the QZSS satellite 102, a signal processing unit 32c that generates correction information based on the 2 nd satellite signal received by the 2 nd antenna 32b, a correction information output unit 32f that transmits the correction information to the 1 st positioning device 31, and a 2 nd position calculation unit 32d that performs positioning based on the correction information received by the 2 nd antenna 32b, and the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32 are provided in the traveling vehicle body 3, and the 1 st position calculation unit 31d performs positioning based on the correction information transmitted from the correction information output unit 32f and the 1 st satellite signal. Thus, the 1 st positioning device 31 that performs positioning based on the 1 st satellite signal of the GNSS satellite 101 can acquire the correction information from the 2 nd positioning device 32 that receives the 2 nd satellite signal transmitted from the QZSS satellite 102, and therefore can perform positioning with high accuracy. For example, the tractor having the 1 st positioning device 31 can be accurately positioned by merely externally attaching the 2 nd positioning device 32 thereto.
The 1 st positioning device 31 transmits the 1 st positioning information obtained by the 1 st positioning device 31 to the 2 nd positioning device 32. Thus, the 2 nd positioning device 32 can acquire the 1 st positioning information obtained by the 1 st positioning device 31, and can thus obtain various states of, for example, a tractor or the like, using the 1 st positioning information.
The 2 nd positioning device 32 includes a state calculation unit 32g that obtains either the azimuth or the attitude of the traveling vehicle body 3 based on the 1 st positioning information and the 2 nd positioning information obtained by the 2 nd positioning device 32. Thus, the attitude of the traveling vehicle body 3 such as the azimuth, roll angle, pitch angle, and the like can be easily obtained by the state calculating unit 32 g.
The 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32 are mounted in a row in the same direction as the traveling direction of the traveling vehicle body 3. This enables, for example, the azimuth and pitch angles in the traveling direction of the traveling vehicle body 3 to be obtained.
The 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32 are mounted in a row in a direction orthogonal to the traveling direction of the traveling vehicle body 3. This enables, for example, the roll angle in the width direction of the traveling vehicle body 3 to be determined.
The working machine includes a support bracket 40 that detachably supports the 2 nd positioning device 32 with respect to the traveling vehicle body 3. This enables the 2 nd positioning device 32 capable of receiving the 2 nd satellite signal transmitted from the QZSS satellite 102 to be attached to and detached from the traveling vehicle body 3 as necessary.
The work machine is provided with: a prime mover 4 provided in the traveling vehicle body 3; a working device 2 attached to a traveling vehicle body 3 and operated by power of a prime mover 4; and a steering device 11 for steering the traveling vehicle body 3. This enables accurate positioning of a tractor or the like that operates the working device 2 by the power of the prime mover 4.
The steering device changes the steering angle of the traveling vehicle body 3 based on any one of the 1 st position and the 2 nd position. This enables steering by the steering device 11 using accurate positioning by the 1 st positioning device 31 and the 2 nd positioning device 32.
The embodiments disclosed herein are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the claims rather than the description above, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.
