After the ON state is detected, the shift mode is switched by the shift mode switching switch 67. If this is detected by the switching signal detecting section 741, the controller 74 stops the subsequent processing.
- the shift operation signal detection unit 743 determines whether or not the elapsed time t in the ON state is longer than 0.1 second (Processing S3), and determines whether the elapsed time t in the ON state is 0.1 second. If it is less than the above, it is determined that the operator touched it incorrectly, and the process is terminated.
- the vehicle speed setting unit 742 determines whether or not the vehicle is in the continuously variable shift mode (process S4). When it is determined that the shift mode is not the continuous variable shift mode, that is, the shift mode is the quick shift mode, the vehicle speed setting unit 742 refers to the speed shift table T11 for the quick shift mode in the traveling speed storage unit 746 (see FIG. 7) (Process S5) .
- vehicle speed setting section 742 determines whether the current speed stage is the upper limit value. Or, in the case of a downshift, it is determined whether or not the current speed stage is at the lower limit (process S6). If the current speed stage is at the upper limit value or the lower limit value, no further upshifting or downshifting can be performed, and the process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is not the upper limit value or the lower limit value, the vehicle speed setting unit 742 rewrites the speed gear in the speed gear table for quick shift mode T11 to a value one higher or lower (process S7).
- the control signal generation unit 747 generates a shift control signal based on various conditions such as a running load and the presence or absence of a deceleration operation, in addition to the target vehicle speed according to the speed stage set by the vehicle speed setting unit 742. You.
- the generated shift control signal is output to the solenoid valves 731 and 732 and the EPC valve 714, and the inclination angles of the swash plates of the variable displacement pump 711 and the variable displacement motor 722 are changed.
- the vehicle speed setting section 742 refers to the continuously variable shift mode speed stage table T12 (see FIG. 7) (process S8). .
- the shift operation signal detection unit 749 continues to count the time by the timer circuit, and determines whether the elapsed time t of the ON state is less than 0.5 seconds (process S9).
- the vehicle speed setting unit 742 determines whether or not the current speed stage is the upper limit value or the lower limit value as in the case of the quick shift mode. A determination is made (processing S10). If it is determined that the current value is the upper limit value in the case of shift-up, and if it is determined that the current value is the lower limit value in the case of shift-down, the process ends. If it is not the upper limit value, the vehicle speed setting unit 742 refers to the continuously variable shift mode speed stage table T12 in FIG. 7 and rewrites the speed stage to an upper or lower value (step S11).
- the control signal generation unit 747 generates a shift control signal based on the rewritten target vehicle speed in the same manner as in the case of the quick shift mode, and outputs it to the solenoid valve 731 and the EPC valve 714 through the control signal output unit 748. Then, drive control of the variable displacement pump 711 and the variable displacement motor 722 is performed.
- the vehicle speed setting unit 742 determines whether or not the current speed stage is at the upper limit value or the lower limit value (process S12). If it is determined that the value is the upper limit in the case of a shift-up and the value is the lower limit in the case of a shift-down, the process ends.
- the vehicle speed setting unit 742 outputs the target vehicle speed to the control signal generation unit 747 every time the speed stage is rewritten, and the control signal generation unit 747 generates a shift control signal according to the updated target vehicle speed, and performs control.
- the signal is output to the solenoid valves 731 and 732 and the EPC valve 714 via the signal output unit 748 to control the shift of the variable displacement pump 711 and the variable displacement motor 722.
- the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but includes the following modifications.
- the force in which the upshift and downshift in the quick shift mode are switched to the third speed is not limited to this. In other words, it is also possible to switch between the fourth speed and the fifth speed in the quick shift mode.
- the HST has been described as an example of the continuously variable transmission.
- a CVT may be used as long as it is a continuously variable transmission.
- the continuous stepless shifting is not limited to the 20-step force described in the step-by-step shifting between the maximum gear ratio and the minimum gear ratio in 20 steps.
- the gear ratio may be continuously changed.
- the description has been given of the example of the bulldozer the present invention is applicable not only to the construction machine but also to other vehicles.
- the present invention can be used not only for bulldozers but also for other construction machines such as power shovels and wheel loaders. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to construction machines such as bulldozers but also to other vehicles.
