Description

  The present invention relates to an engine control device that controls engine rotation at the time of backlift in a seedling transplanter that can lift the seedling planting device to a non-working position when the seedling planting vehicle is moving backward.

2. Description of the Related Art A technique for increasing engine rotation by performing a reverse shift in a backlift device of an agricultural machine (see, for example, Patent Document 1) is known.
JP-A-7-123817 (first page, FIG. 2).

  Since the seedling plant has a float that slides on the soil surface, it takes a considerable amount of lifting force to raise the seedling planting device to the non-sliding position. For this reason, at the time of backlift or backup, the seedling planting device can be raised quickly and accurately by increasing the engine speed and increasing the hydraulic pressure of the lift cylinder. However, since increasing the engine speed is a reverse shift, the engine speed is rapidly increased, which is likely to be dangerous, and fuel consumption is increased, which is uneconomical. The present invention is intended to ensure traveling safety and reduce waste in such backlift control.

  The invention according to claim 1 is a seedling planting machine in which backlift control is performed to raise the number of revolutions of the engine 2 and to raise the seedling planting device 3 by the backward running operation of the vehicle body 1, and the seedling planting device 3 has already been lifted. When in position, the seedling transplanter is provided with an engine control device that regulates the increase in the rotational speed of the engine 2. When the seedling plant vehicle body 1 is working, the seedling planting device 3 is in a state of lowering and performing seedling planting action. However, when the vehicle body 1 is operated backward, this increases the rotation of the engine 2. Then, the seedling planting device 3 is lifted from the descending seedling planting position to the non-working position by the backlift control driven by the rotation of the engine 2, and drags the soil surface while the seedling planting device 3 is lowered during the reverse travel. Make sure there is nothing. However, when the reverse travel operation is performed, if the seedling planting device 3 has already been raised, the rotation of the engine 2 is not increased even if the reverse travel operation is performed. For example, even if it is raised, it is regulated so as not to be raised until the engine speed during normal backlift control.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the seedling planting machine that performs the backlift control for raising the seedling planting device 3 by increasing the rotational speed of the engine 2 by the backward running operation of the vehicle body 1, the seedling is controlled by the steering angle of the handle 4. An automatic elevating device for elevating and lowering the planting device 3 and an automatic elevating switch 5 for turning on and off the automatic elevating device are provided. When the automatic elevating switch 5 is in an off state, an engine for restricting an increase in the rotational speed of the engine 2 is provided. A seedling planter equipped with a control device. By turning ON the automatic elevating switch 5 during the seedling planting operation, the seedling planting device 3 is lifted when the steering angle of the handle 4 is increased to enter the steering turning stroke. At this time, the engine 2 rotation is increased only when the ON operation is performed. However, when the automatic elevating switch 5 is operated, the engine 2 rotation is not increased even if the backlift control is performed. . Further, even if it is raised, it is not raised until the engine 2 rotates at the time of regular backlift control that is performed when the automatic elevating switch 5 is turned on.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the seedling planting machine that performs the backlift control for raising the number of rotations of the engine 2 and raising the seedling planting device 3 by the backward traveling operation of the vehicle body 1, the transmission of the seedling planting device 3 is In the cut state, the seedling transplanter is provided with an engine control device that regulates the increase in the rotational speed of the engine 2. The backlift control is often performed in the case where the seedling planting process ends and the process returns to the return process. Therefore, when the seedling planting operation is performed or the seedling planting operation is stopped, the backlift control is performed at the same time. Be started. At this time, when the transmission of the seedling planting device 3 is already turned off, the rotational speed of the engine 2 is not increased even if the backlift control is performed. Further, even if the rotational speed of the engine 2 is increased, the rotational speed of the normal engine 2 when the seedling planting device 3 is in transmission is not increased.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the seedling planting machine that performs the backlift control in which the rotational speed of the engine 2 is increased by the backward traveling operation of the vehicle body 1 to raise the seedling planting device 3, the speed change lever 6 is set to the reverse high speed position. When operated, the seedling transplanter is provided with an engine control device that regulates an increase in the rotational speed of the engine 2. The back lift control of the seedling transplanter is performed when the vehicle body 1 moves backward. At this time, when the shift lever 6 is operated to the normal speed reverse position, the rotational speed of the engine 2 increases. However, when the reverse speed high speed reverse position is operated, the engine 2 rotation is increased. Absent. Further, even if the rotation speed of the engine 2 is increased, it is regulated as a lower speed range than the rotation speed of the engine 2 at the time of shifting operation at the normal speed reverse position.

  In the first aspect of the invention, by performing the backlift control, it is possible to prevent the seedling planting device 3 from traveling backward while being in contact with the ground. When it is in the position and it is not necessary to perform the backlift control, it is possible to maintain the stable operation and suppress the fuel consumption and the exhaust gas emission amount without unnecessarily increasing the rotational speed of the engine 2. it can.

  In the invention according to claim 2, in the state where the automatic lifting switch 5 is turned off, the control of the automatic lifting device by steering the handle 4 is not performed, and furthermore, this backlift control is not performed. The rotation speed of the engine 2 is not increased unnecessarily.

  The invention according to claim 3 is in a state where the seedling planting action is not performed when the transmission of the seedling planting device 3 is cut off, and the load on the engine 2 is also reduced by being in this non-transmission state. Thus, the backlift control can be performed quickly without specially increasing the rotational speed of the engine 2.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, when the reverse lever is operated to the reverse high speed position by the speed change lever 6 during the backlift control, the reverse rotation after the backlift control is controlled by restricting the increase in the rotational speed of the engine 2. It is possible to travel safely so that high-speed traveling does not become too fast.

A PTO shaft 25 is disposed on one side of the transmission case 11, and the input shaft 28 of the seedling planting device 3 is interlocked to the rear end portion of the vehicle body 1 via the interlocking shaft 26 in conjunction with the input shaft 34.

  An operation mechanism that rotates the trunnion shaft 40 and the trunnion arm 41 of the HST 30 to continuously change the speed is operated by the speed change lever 6 and the assist motor 42. Of these, the shift lever 6 is provided on one side of the driver's seat 8 and is guided by a crank-shaped lever guide 51 extending in the front-rear direction so as to rotate from the neutral position N to the forward high-speed position F. It is possible to perform continuously variable transmission at a forward high speed, and to guide the rotation from the neutral N to the reverse high speed position R on the rear side, and to continuously travel at a reverse high speed to transmit power. Further, at the neutral position N of the lever guide 51, a reverse sensor 52 comprising a limit switch or the like for detecting that the shift lever 6 is operated to the reverse shift side is provided. The reverse sensor 52 is turned on during the initial period of being pressed by the speed change lever 6 to increase the rotation of the engine 2. When the speed change lever 6 is operated to the reverse high speed position R, the switch is turned off. The interlocking control is performed so as to return the engine 2 revolutions. When the speed change lever 6 is rotated around the lever shaft 44, the arm 45 is rotated, and a link rod 47 engaged with the elongated hole 46 of the arm 45, a shaft 48 driven by the assist motor 42, and The trunnion arm 41 is interlocked via the link rod 49 and the like to operate the trunnion shaft 40, thereby continuously shifting the HST 30. Further, a gear 81 on the shaft 48 driven by the assist motor 42, a spring by a shift lever sensor 50 for detecting the rotation angle of the arms 45 and an assist motor 42 driven by the detection of the sensor 50.

In addition, an arm sensor 54 that detects the rotation angle of the trunnion arm 41 is provided.

  In addition, a pair of cam arms 57 and 58 that rotate around the left and right arm shafts 55 and 56 are provided in the rotation region of the trunnion arm 41 of the HST 30, and a concave cam formed at the intersection of these cam arms 57 and 58. An integral guide pin 60 is fitted to the trunnion arm 41 between the surfaces 59, and the cam arm 57 or 58 is moved to the arm shaft 55 by rotating the guide pin 60 in the forward transmission F side or the reverse transmission R side. It is configured to be interlocked so that the throttle of the engine 2 is increased through the wires 61, 62 and 63 by swinging around 56. The left and right cam surfaces 59 formed by the cam surface 59 of the forward cam 57 and the cam surface 59 of the reverse cam 58 with which the guide pin 60 is fitted are formed at an appropriate interval so that the guide pin 60 is neutral. While the cam surface 59 is not pushed while the region extending from the position N over a certain interval is rotated, when the cam surface 59 is rotated forward or backward beyond this region, the cam arm 57 or 58 is pushed by pushing the cam surface 59. The interlocking structure is configured to rotate and increase the speed of the engine 2.

  The throttle wire 63 connected to the wire 61 interlocked with the forward cam arm 57 and the wire 62 interlocked with the reverse cam arm 58 can be linked to the accelerator pedal 64 on the floor 13 to increase the speed from the depression. Further, the throttle wire 63 can be accelerated by pulling the wire pin 69 engaged with the elongated hole 68 of the link 67 via the arm 66 and the link 67 by the electric motor of the throttle motor 65. Further, when the pull of the throttle wire 63 is loosened, the rotation of the engine 2 is decelerated.

  A planting lift lever 70 is provided on the dashboard 15, and a solenoid valve 71 of a hydraulic circuit that extends and contracts the lift cylinder 12 and a solenoid valve 72 of a planting clutch of the seedling planting device 3 are operated to output. Can do. In addition, an auxiliary transmission lever 73 is provided below, and a high speed operation such as setting the vehicle speed to a moving speed in a high speed range, a seedling planting speed in a low speed range, or a PTO speed can be performed. Further, an elevating sensor 74 composed of a potentiometer or the like is provided in the elevating rotation portion of the lift link 18.

  Here, the seedling transplanter has a seedling planting device 3 mounted on the rear side of the traveling vehicle body 1 via a lift link 18, and a hydraulic pump 32 that supplies hydraulic pressure to a lift cylinder 12 that operates the lift link 18. 2 is provided, and a reverse sensor 52 is provided for detecting that the shift lever 6 is operated to the side in which the traveling vehicle body 1 moves backward, and the rotation of the engine 2 is detected based on detection of the reverse operation of the reverse sensor 52. The engine speed increase control for increasing the number and the backlift control for raising the seedling planting device 3 based on the detection of the reverse operation of the reverse sensor 52 are possible. And this engine control apparatus is comprised so that the raising operation | movement of engine 2 rotation speed may be controlled, even if the reverse sensor 52 detects reverse operation, in the state which the seedling planting device 3 rose.

  When the seedling plant vehicle body 1 is working, the seedling planting device 3 is in a state of lowering and performing seedling planting action. However, when the vehicle body 1 is operated backward, this increases the rotation of the engine 2. Then, the seedling planting device 3 is lifted from the descending seedling planting position to the non-working position by the backlift control driven by the rotation of the engine 2, and drags the soil surface while the seedling planting device 3 is lowered during the reverse travel. Make sure there is nothing. However, when the reverse travel operation is performed, if the seedling planting device 3 has already been raised, the rotation of the engine 2 is not increased even if the reverse travel operation is performed. For example, even if it is raised, it is regulated so as not to be raised until the engine speed during normal backlift control.

  Further, there is provided an automatic lifting device provided with a handle 4 for steering the traveling vehicle body 1 and automatically raising and lowering the seedling planting device 3 when the body is turned based on detection of a constant steering angle of the handle 4 by the handle sensor 75. An automatic elevating switch 5 for turning on / off automatic elevating / lowering is provided. When the automatic elevating / lowering switch 5 is in an off state, even if the reverse sensor 52 detects a reverse operation, the increase in the engine 2 speed is restricted. is there. By turning ON the automatic elevating switch 5 during the seedling planting operation, the seedling planting device 3 is lifted when the steering angle of the handle 4 is increased to enter the steering turning stroke. At this time, the engine 2 rotation is increased only when the ON operation is performed. However, when the automatic elevating switch 5 is operated, the engine 2 rotation is not increased even if the backlift control is performed. . Further, even in the form of being lifted, it is not lifted up to the engine 2 rotation at the time of regular backlift control performed when the automatic lift switch 5 is turned on.

  Further, a seedling planting clutch is provided to turn on and off the transmission of the seedling planting device 3. When the seedling planting clutch is in a disengaged state, the engine 2 speed increases even if the reverse sensor 52 detects the reverse operation. Is configured to regulate the above. The backlift control is often performed in the case where the seedling planting process ends and the process returns to the return process. Therefore, when the seedling planting operation is performed or the seedling planting operation is stopped, the backlift control is performed at the same time. Be started. At this time, when the transmission of the seedling planting device 3 is already turned off, the engine 2 rotation is not increased even if the backlift control is performed. Further, even if the engine 2 rotation is increased, the engine 2 is not increased until the normal engine 2 rotation when the seedling planting device 3 is in transmission.

  Furthermore, when the reverse sensor 52 detects that the speed change lever 6 has been operated to the reverse high speed side, the engine 2 rotational speed increasing operation is restricted. The back lift control of the seedling transplanter is performed when the vehicle body 1 moves backward. At this time, when the shift lever 6 is operated to the normal speed reverse position, the engine 2 rotation is increased, but when the reverse high speed reverse position is operated, the engine 2 rotation is not increased. . Further, even if the rotation of the engine 2 is increased, it is regulated as a lower speed region than the rotation of the engine 2 at the time of shifting operation at the normal speed reverse position.

  In the backlift control of the seedling transplanter, as shown in FIG. 2, the shift lever sensor 50, the reverse sensor 52, the lift sensor 74, the dial switch 78 for selecting the turning control mode, the finger are provided on the input side of the controller 76. A finger lever switch 77 that is turned on and off by the operation of the lever-type planting elevating lever 70, a handle turning angle sensor 75 that detects the steering angle of the handle 4, and an automatic elevating switch 5 are provided. Further, on the output side of the controller 76, the assist motor 42, the throttle motor 65, the electromagnetic solenoid valve 71 for controlling expansion and contraction of the lift cylinder 12, the solenoid valve 72 for operating the planting clutch, and the like are provided.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when the reverse sensor 52 is ON as shown in FIG. 1, the lift sensor 74 detects the lift position, the dial switch 78 is OFF, or the planting clutch is disengaged. In such a case, an output is made to return the throttle motor 65, and the rotation of the engine 2 is reduced. Conversely, when the reverse sensor 52 is ON and the seedling planting device 3 is in the lowered position, the turning control mode is selected by turning on the dial switch, or the planting clutch is engaged. Then, the throttle motor 65 is output to increase the engine two revolutions. At this time, even if the floats 19 and 20 of the seedling planting device 3 are in contact with the soil surface, the rotation of the hydraulic pump 29 is also increased by the increase of the rotation of the engine 2 and the oil pressure of the lift cylinder 12 is increased to increase the seedling planting. The apparatus 3 can be accurately and quickly raised to the non-working position.

  With respect to the restriction of the rotation of the engine 2, it is possible to restrict the rotation of the engine 2 so as not to be accelerated at all under the control conditions, and the rotation is lower than the rotation range in which the rotation is increased during regular backlift control. It is also possible to regulate to rise to the area.

  Next, mainly based on FIG. 10, the transmission lever 6 of the HST 30 is provided with an arm 45 forming a sector gear 85, and this sector gear 85 is slidably contacted with a pressing ball 86 mechanism by a clip spring 87. It is configured to be able to rotate. The positioning and operability of the transmission lever 6 are enhanced. Assuming that the central portion of the sector gear 85 is a neutral position N, a regulation interlocking configuration is adopted so that the engine 2 rotational speed does not increase during the operation in the angular region from the neutral position N to the forward notch F-side first notch A. It is possible to improve safety by eliminating the risk of sudden start. By operating the shift lever 6 to the forward side, the throttle wire 63 is pulled to increase the speed of the engine 2 rotation. However, when the shift lever 6 is rotated at the first notch A when the rotation operation is started, the throttle wire 63 is rotated. A wire connection escape hole is formed so as not to pull the wire.

  Further, the fan-shaped portion 88 of the arm 45 shown in FIG. 11 is formed in a simple arc-shaped curved surface to make it stepless and perform a smooth operation. A clip ball 86 or the like can be pressed against the fan-shaped portion 88 or a friction brake can be applied.

  Further, only a part of the sector gear 85 of the arm 45 shown in FIG. 12 is formed, and an intermediate portion is formed as a sector portion 88 to form a stepless section. The sector 88 makes a smooth start.

Further, the arm 45 shown in FIG. 13 has a concave portion 89 formed at a central neutral position N of the sector 88 of the arm 45.
Further, a fan-shaped portion 88 is formed only on the side of the reverse position R of the fan-shaped gear 85 of the arm 45 shown in FIGS. The return from the reverse side can be eliminated.

  Next, mainly based on FIG. 16, idling stop control of the engine 2 of the seedling transplanter is performed by the accelerator pedal 64 and the transmission lever 6. On the input side of the controller 90, a shift lever sensor 50 for detecting the operation position of the shift lever 6 is provided, an accelerator sensor 91 for detecting the depression amount of the accelerator pedal 64 is provided, and the shift position of the sub shift lever 73 is set. An auxiliary transmission sensor 92 for detecting is provided. An engine rotation solenoid 93 that increases and decreases the rotation of the engine 2 is provided on the output side.

  When the sub-shift lever sensor 92 detects the seedling planting speed position and the shift lever sensor 50 detects the neutral position N, the engine 2 stops from the idling state. Further, when the accelerator sensor 91 detects that the accelerator pedal 64 has been depressed by depressing the accelerator pedal 64, the engine 2 is started again from the idling stop state. Further, the idling stop can be performed only when the sub-shift lever 73 is at the seedling planting speed position, which is convenient when seedlings are supplied or when fertilizer is supplied, and fuel consumption can be saved. Moreover, since the engine 2 can be restarted only by depressing the accelerator, the operability can be improved.

  Next, mainly based on FIG. 17, the planting lift lever 70 is provided with a sub-lever 95 that locks the operation position of the lever 70. The engagement roll 96 operated by the sub lever 95 engages with a rack groove 98 formed in a cam 97 that rotates integrally with the elevating lever 70. The rack groove 98 includes a neutral position N for the planting lift lever 70, a raising position A for raising the seedling planting device 3 to the non-working position, a lowering position B for lowering the seedling planting work position, and a seedling planting work position C. The seedling raising / lowering lever 70 is operated to each position, and the engagement roll 96 can be engaged with each rack groove 98 and maintained.

  These sub levers 95 are pivotally supported by the lever shaft 99 portion of the planting lift lever 70 and are connected to the end of the roll arm 101 of the roll 96 via the link 100. The rotation shaft 102 of the roll arm 101 is provided at a fixed position on the seedling transplanter side. Reference numeral 103 denotes a spring that repels the roll 96 so as to engage with each rack groove 98, and the sub lever 95 grips and rotates against the spring 103 to engage the roll 96 from the rack groove 98. Can be removed.

  Each rack groove 98 forms a wide rack groove 98A at the raising position A in the rotational operation direction, and the other rack grooves 98N, 98B, 98C at the neutral position N, the lowered position B, and the planting position C are narrow. Forming. And the guide hole 104 side groove part 105 at the front-end | tip of each rack groove 98N, 98B, 98C is widely formed in the rotation operation direction.

  In this way, the engaging roll 96 is engaged with the rack grooves 98N, 98B, and 98C so that the engagement position can be accurately maintained and the racks can be accurately maintained. Since the opening groove openings 105 of the grooves 98N, 98B, and 98C are formed wide, the engagement roll 96 can be smoothly moved in and out, and the operability can be improved.
