Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, the processing capacity of a sorting apparatus increases as the amount of sorted products increases based on the information of the amount of sorted products that detects the amount of sorted products leaking from a handling room. As described above, the sorting control for adjusting the processing capacity changing means of the sorting device, and the vehicle speed for shifting the vehicle speed shifting transmission so that the engine load detected by the load detecting means is maintained within the target load range. The present invention relates to a combine provided with control means for executing control.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the above-mentioned combine, in the sorting control, for example, a layer thickness sensor for detecting the layer thickness of the sorted processed material layer leaked from the handling chamber onto the swing sorting plate of the sorting device is used as the processed material amount detecting means. The greater the detection layer thickness, that is, the amount of processed material, the larger the processing material leakage opening (for example, the opening of the chaff sheave) in the rocking sorting plate, and the larger the processing capacity of the sorting device. The control for adjusting the opening degree changing means (the motor for changing the opening degree of the chaff sheave, etc.) as the processing capacity changing means was performed, and at the same time, in the vehicle speed control, for example, it was obtained as the amount of decrease of the engine speed from the reference speed If the engine speed falls below the target speed so that the engine load is maintained within the target load range, that is, the engine speed is maintained at the target speed, a shift for vehicle speed shifting is performed. While decelerating operation the location results in performing control engine speed operating speed increase if higher than the target speed. Then, conventionally, the sorting control and the vehicle speed control are simply executed independently.

[0003]

However, in the prior art, the vehicle speed becomes too fast due to the vehicle speed control, and the amount (layer thickness) of the sorted material on the rocking sorting plate becomes excessively large, so that the throughput of the sorting device becomes the upper limit. Even if the value is adjusted to a large value (specifically, the chaff sheave opening is set to the upper limit opening), it may be insufficient. In such a case, in the worst case, there will be an increase in No. 3 loss released outside the machine without being leaked by the rocking sorting plate and damage to the grain due to an excessive increase in No. 2 reduction amount. In this case, there is a risk that the processed material will be clogged in the sorting device, and the mowing operation will not be possible. Of course, in such a situation, as a result of the engine speed lowering than the target speed due to an increase in the threshing load, the transmission is decelerated and the amount of harvested culm is reduced, and the processed matter in the sorting device is reduced. Occurrence of clogging is prevented as much as possible.

However, even if the amount of cut culms is reduced by the operation of decelerating the vehicle speed and the amount of the sorted products becomes proper, and the excessive state of the amount of the sorted products is once solved, the vehicle speed is again set under the same field condition. Is likely to become too fast and the amount of sorted products becomes excessive, in which case the same deceleration operation is repeated. Then, after the deceleration operation until the amount of the sorted product becomes a proper amount through the reduction of the amount of harvested culm, an excessive state of the amount of the sorted product does not continue to be properly sorted. Therefore, it is not preferable to frequently cause an excessively large amount of sorted products. Therefore, a simple deceleration operation for an excessively large amount of sorted products has not always been a sufficient countermeasure.

Conventionally, the upper limit vehicle speed is manually set to a predetermined value by means such as a volume, and the vehicle speed control is performed in a state where the upper limit vehicle speed is not exceeded. Regardless of the ability, it is set as the maximum vehicle speed value that the worker judges that it is possible to cut and drive due to unevenness of the ground or field conditions such as wetlands, which causes an extreme decrease in engine output or engine stall during running. In order to avoid the above and smoothly perform the vehicle speed control according to the load.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to control the vehicle speed in a state in which the excessive amount of the sorted material is not generated in order to solve the problems of the conventional technology. In addition to the above, the work efficiency is prevented from being lowered due to the vehicle speed unnecessarily becoming low.

[0007]

The combine of the present invention comprises:
Based on the information of the processed product amount detecting means for detecting the amount of the sorted product leaked from the handling room, the processing capacity changing means of the sorting device is arranged so that the processing capacity of the sorting device increases as the amount of the sorted product increases.

If the correction processing for correcting the set upper limit vehicle speed to the vehicle speed value of the set lower speed is executed, and the deceleration operation of the transmission is performed based on the increase of the engine load in the vehicle speed control, after the deceleration operation, The correction processing is stopped for a predetermined time.

A second characteristic configuration is the same as the first characteristic configuration, wherein the processed material amount detecting means detects the layer thickness of the sorted processed material present on the swing sorting plate of the sorting device. The processing capacity changing means is constituted by an opening degree changing means for changing the leakage opening degree in the swing sorting plate of the sorting apparatus, and the control means is the opening degree changing means The state where the layer thickness of the sorting object detected by the layer thickness detection means exceeds the set layer thickness value for sorting capacity limit determination while being operated to the upper limit opening position of the change range for a set time or more.

When the physical quantity exceeds the upper limit value and the correction process is continuously executed a plurality of times or a set number of times or more, in the current work process, the opening degree changing means sets the upper limit opening position of the opening degree changing range. The teaching correction process is performed to correct the set upper limit vehicle speed to a vehicle speed value that is lower by the set amount in accordance with the operation up to.

The fourth characteristic configuration is, in the third characteristic configuration, whether or not the cutting style for the stems introduced into the stem introducing path of the cutting device is a row cutting style arranged so as to form a row in the machine advancing direction. , A cutting type detecting means for detecting whether the cutting type is other than the cutting type, and the control means cuts the line for the cutting work site based on the information of the cutting type detecting means. The teaching correction process is performed only when the cutting operation is performed in the form.

A fifth characteristic configuration is the same as the fourth characteristic configuration, wherein the control means controls the work strokes at both ends of the work ground among the plurality of work strokes juxtaposed in the rectangular cutting work ground.
When performing a mowing operation in a line cutting manner along the longitudinal direction of each work stroke while alternately reversing the traveling direction, based on the execution information of the correction process in the stroke two steps before the current work stroke, The point is that it is configured to perform teaching correction processing.

[0012]

According to the first characteristic configuration of the present invention, under the condition that the processing capacity of the sorting apparatus is adjusted so that the processing capacity of the sorting apparatus becomes larger as the amount of sorted processing material leaking from the handling chamber increases, If the amount of sorted products does not exceed the upper limit of the throughput of the sorting device, and even if the amount of sorted products exceeds the upper limit of the throughput of the sorting device, within the predetermined time after deceleration operation due to an increase in engine load. In this case, the maximum value of the detected vehicle speeds up to that time is set as the set upper limit vehicle speed, while on the other hand, the predetermined amount after the deceleration operation based on the increase in the engine load when the amount of sorted products exceeds the upper limit value of the throughput of the sorting apparatus. Only when it is not within the time, the vehicle speed value corrected to the lower side by the predetermined amount than the maximum value of the detected vehicle speeds up to that time is set as the set upper limit vehicle speed. Then, in a state where the vehicle speed does not exceed the set upper limit vehicle speeds, vehicle speed control is performed to shift the vehicle speed shifting transmission so as to maintain the engine load within the target load range.

In addition, according to the second characteristic configuration, under the condition that the opening degree is adjusted so that the leakage opening degree in the rocking sorting plate is increased as the layer thickness of the sorted products on the rocking sorting plate is thicker. , The state that the layer thickness of the sorted product exceeds the set layer thickness value for the discrimination of the sorting capacity limit while the leakage opening of the swing sorting plate is operated to the upper limit opening of the opening change range If it continues for more than a time, only when it is not within the predetermined time after the deceleration operation based on the increase of the engine load, the vehicle speed value corrected to the lower side by the predetermined amount than the maximum value of the detected vehicle speed is set as the set upper limit vehicle speed. In other cases, the maximum value of the detected vehicle speeds up to that point is set as the set upper limit vehicle speed. Then, the vehicle speed control based on the engine load is performed in a state where the vehicle speed does not exceed the set upper limit vehicle speed.

Further, according to the third characteristic configuration, in the work stroke before the current work stroke among the plurality of work strokes set in the reaping work ground, the amount of the sorted material exceeds the upper limit value. In this case, if the correction process in which the vehicle speed value corrected to the predetermined amount lower than the maximum value of the detected vehicle speed up to that time is set upper limit vehicle speed is executed a plurality of times consecutively or more than the set number of times, in the current work process The vehicle speed value corrected to the lower side by a predetermined amount than the maximum value of the detected vehicle speed up to that time is set as the leakage opening in the swing selection plate is operated to the upper limit opening of the opening change range. It is set as the upper limit vehicle speed,
The vehicle speed control based on the engine load is performed while the vehicle speed does not exceed the set upper limit vehicle speed.

Further, according to the fourth characteristic configuration, in the case where the cutting method for the stems introduced into the stem introducing path of the cutting device is a row cutting method in which lines are formed so as to form rows in the machine advancing direction. Only, in the work stroke prior to the current work stroke of the plurality of work strokes juxtaposed in the mowing work area, when the sorting amount exceeds the upper limit value, the detected vehicle speed is higher than the maximum value. When the correction process in which the vehicle speed value corrected to the low speed side by the predetermined amount is set upper limit vehicle speed is continuously executed a plurality of times or more than the set number of times, the leakage opening degree in the rocking sorting plate in the current work stroke is Along with the operation up to the upper limit opening of the opening change range, the vehicle speed value corrected to a predetermined amount lower than the maximum value of the detected vehicle speed up to that point is set as the set upper limit vehicle speed. Then, the vehicle speed control based on the engine load is performed in a state where the vehicle speed does not exceed the set upper limit vehicle speed.

Further, according to the fifth characteristic configuration, among the plurality of work strokes juxtaposed in the rectangular cutting work ground, the work strokes at both ends of the work ground are alternately reversed in the traveling directions.

When the correction process is performed a plurality of times consecutively or more than a set number of times, as the leakage opening of the rocking sorting plate is operated to the upper limit opening of the opening change range in the current work stroke. Then, the vehicle speed value corrected by a predetermined amount lower than the maximum value of the detected vehicle speed up to that point is set as the set upper limit vehicle speed. Then, the vehicle speed control based on the engine load is performed in a state where the vehicle speed does not exceed the set upper limit vehicle speed.

[0017]

According to the first characteristic configuration of the present invention, basically, when the amount of sorted products exceeds the upper limit of the throughput of the sorting apparatus, the upper limit vehicle speed in the vehicle speed control is changed to the low speed side. Then, since the vehicle speed control is performed under the limitation of the upper limit vehicle speed changed to the low speed side, the vehicle speed becomes too fast again in the conventional configuration in which the transmission is simply decelerated, and the excessively large amount of sorted material May occur again, but that inconvenience is avoided, and the increase in No. 3 loss released outside the machine without being leaked by the rocking sorting plate and damage to the grain due to too much reduction in No. 2 It is possible to prevent problems in sorting work such as. Moreover, even if the amount of the sorted material exceeds the upper limit of the sorting capacity, within the predetermined time after the deceleration operation due to the increase of the engine load, the processing of the sorting device caused by the decrease of the engine output (rotational speed) In view of the fact that the amount of sorted materials may temporarily increase due to a decline in capacity and exceed the upper limit of the sorting capacity, the upper limit vehicle speed is set to the maximum value of the vehicle speed values until then, and the vehicle speed is It is possible to appropriately avoid a reduction in efficiency of the mowing work without shifting to a low speed state as necessary.

Further, according to the second characteristic configuration, the layer thickness of the sorted product layer on the rocking sorting plate is detected by the layer thickness detecting means composed of a relatively simple sensor such as a layer thickness sensor, It is possible to properly detect the amount of the sorted material, and it is possible to appropriately adjust the throughput of the sorting device by the opening changing means such as a motor that changes the leak opening in the swing sorting plate of the sorting device.
At the same time, based on the information of the leakage opening of the rocking sorting plate and the layer thickness detection value of the sorted product layer, it can be appropriately determined that the amount of the sorted product exceeds the upper limit of the throughput of the sorting device, As a result, suitable means for implementing the first characteristic configuration can be obtained.

Further, according to the third characteristic configuration, in the process before the current work process in the same mowing work site, the sorting process is performed in a state in which the leakage opening of the rocking sorting plate is operated to the upper limit opening. When the material layer thickness exceeds the layer thickness value for discrimination of the sorting capacity limit, that is, when the amount of sorted material exceeds the upper limit value of the sorting processing capacity, the upper limit vehicle speed is changed to a low speed value continuously or multiple times. If it is performed more than the number of times, there is a high possibility that the layer thickness of the sorted material will exceed the upper limit for the above discrimination of the sorting capacity even in the current working process. If the amount of sorted material is judged to increase by the upper limit opening degree and the amount of sorted material is judged to increase, it is appropriate to change the upper limit vehicle speed to a low speed value so that the amount of sorted material exceeds the upper limit of sorting capacity. Can be prevented, and thus the second feature Is a suitable means of carrying out the formation is obtained.

Further, according to the fourth characteristic configuration, the upper limit vehicle speed becomes a low value due to the amount of the sorted material exceeding the upper limit value of the sorting capacity in the stroke before the current working stroke in the same mowing work site. However, if the mowing type is other than the line-cutting type, such as the horizontal-cutting type, the current work stroke and the previous stroke are different from those of the line-cutting type. Since there is a large difference in the cutting conditions between the two, by not performing the upper limit vehicle speed change operation in the current stroke based on the upper limit vehicle speed change information in the previous stroke,
It is possible to properly avoid making an erroneous change in the upper limit vehicle speed, and therefore, it is possible to obtain a suitable means for implementing the third characteristic configuration.

Further, according to the fifth characteristic configuration, among the plurality of work strokes juxtaposed in the rectangular cutting work ground, the work strokes on both end sides of the work ground are alternately cut in opposite directions. When performing a mowing operation in the form of a vehicle, the upper limit vehicle speed change operation for the current stroke should be appropriately performed based on the upper limit vehicle speed change information for the stroke that is adjacent to the current stroke and before the mowing conditions are judged to be approximately the same. Can be carried out, and a suitable means for carrying out the fourth characteristic configuration can be obtained.

The sorting device B includes a tomi 18, a swing sorting plate 19, a first product collecting section (hereinafter referred to as the first mouth) 20 and a second product collecting section (hereinafter referred to as the second mouth) for collecting processed products after sorting. 21).

As shown in FIG. 7, a mechanism is provided at the upper part of the feed chain 16 for pressing the conveyed grain culms downward and sandwiching them with the feed chain 16. That is, the plurality of pressing members 16a and 16b connected in the transport direction by the pivot P are elastically biased by the coil spring 16c. A potentiometer S1 for detecting the upward displacement of the pivot shaft P between the first pressing member 16a and the second pressing member 16b from the front is provided. The potentiometer (hereinafter referred to as a culm thickness sensor) S1 detects the thickness of the grain culm sandwiched between the feed chain 16 and the pressing members 16a and 16b, and the feed speed of the feed chain 16 is kept substantially constant. Therefore, the detection value of the culm thickness sensor S1 is proportional to the amount of grain culm supplied to the handling room A.

The grain culm supplied and conveyed to the handling chamber A by the feed chain 16 is threshed by the rotation of the handling barrel 15. In the lower part of the handling room A, a receiving net 22 is provided, and grains of the processed product after threshing that have been made into single grains leak from the receiving net 22 to the rocking sorting plate 19.

Therefore, when the link 24b is operated to move in the front-rear direction, the plate-shaped members 24a simultaneously rotate, and the adjacent distance t between the plate-shaped members 24a changes. This interval t corresponds to a leakage opening (hereinafter referred to as a chaff opening) in the swing selection plate 19, and the chaff opening is changed by rotationally driving the sheave motor M1 in the forward and reverse directions. The rotation operation of the sheave motor M1 is converted into the forward / backward movement operation of the link 24b by the gear type linkage mechanism 26, the swing arm 27, and the wire 28, and the chaff opening degree is changed as described above.

At this time, the toumi motor M2 is driven so as to increase the toumi wind force in accordance with an increase in the amount of the leaked kernels, in order to prevent the straw collected from the kernels collected at the first mouth 20. From the above, the processing capacity changing means of the sorting apparatus B is constituted by the sheave motor M1 and the toumi motor M2.

It consists of a potentiometer PM that converts into a value. When the layer thickness of the processed material is small, the plate-shaped member T1 contacts the processed material and rotates backward, and when the layer thickness increases, the plate-shaped member T2 contacts the processed material and rotates rearward. Is configured.

With the above construction, the larger the amount of the sorted products and the larger the layer thickness thereof, the larger the rotation angle I of the sensor bars T1, T2.

During the mowing and threshing work, the engine speed decreases as the load on the engine E increases, so the engine load is obtained from the amount of decrease in the engine speed. Specifically, the maximum value of the engine rotation speed when the vehicle speed is less than 0.1 m / s is stored as a reference rotation speed R, and the difference R− between the reference rotation speed R and the current engine rotation speed r is stored. r is calculated as the engine load L.

During automatic operation, the control means H controls the steering so that the steering position is in an appropriate state based on the detection information of the steering control sensors S8a, S8b, S8c. That is, at the time of cutting, based on the two sensor information of the first sensor S8a and the second sensor S8b, the stems and culms on both sides of the weeding tool 4B are placed at equal intervals from the weeding tool 4B. The state of contacting the server 50 is set to the proper steering state, while the third sensor S8 is set during horizontal cutting.
Based on the sensor information of c, it is controlled so that the state in which the stems are located at a predetermined interval from the weeding tool 4D on the most mown side is maintained as an appropriate steering state. Although not shown, the control section 3 is provided with a manual shift lever for shifting the vehicle speed during manual operation and a manual steering lever for manually turning on and off the steering clutches 34L, 34R. .

By the way, since the stem culms are planted in the longitudinal direction of the machine body with the predetermined distances H1 and H2 being separated from each other, the stem culms are intermittently contacted with the sensor bar 50, and the potentiometer Rp is used. The signal level changes intermittently. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, the control means H sets the output signal of the potentiometer Rp to a distance sufficiently shorter than the predetermined distances H1 and H2 so that the output signal of the potentiometer Rp is sampled at an interval sufficiently shorter than the intermittent change cycle. Potentiometer Rp for each set predetermined traveling distance Δh
Is sampled. In the figure, (a) shows the signal waveforms in the case of strip cutting, and (b) shows the signal waveforms in the case of horizontal cutting.

Then, using the control means H, the cutting style for the stems introduced into the stem introducing lines L1, L2, L3 of the harvesting device 4 forms a row in the machine advancing direction. The cutting type detection means 101 is configured to detect whether the line is a line cutting type or a line cutting type other than the line cutting type (horizontal cutting type). Specifically, the stem culm passage detection information based on the position of each sensor of the stem culm detected by the steering control sensors S8a, S8b, S8c, and the traveling distance detection information by the rotation speed sensor S6. Based on the above, the interval of the stalks in the machine advancing direction is detected, and then the interval of the stalks corresponds to the middle of the predetermined distances H1 and H2 in the set interval, for example, both the row cutting and the horizontal cutting both cutting modes ( (H1 + H2) /2=23.5c
If it is smaller than m), it is determined to be a line cutting type, and if it is larger than the set interval, it is determined to be a horizontal cutting type. Actually, in order to improve the detection accuracy, when the interval between the stems is close to the distance H1 at the time of cutting (when the value is between H1-α and H1 + α, α = 2 to 3 cm is set here). When it is close to the distance H2 for horizontal cutting (when the value is between H2-α and H2 + α), it is determined to be horizontal cutting.

Based on the information of the layer thickness sensor S5 for detecting the amount of the sorted products leaking from the handling room A, the control means H has a larger processing capacity of the sorting device B as the amount of the sorted products increases. As described above, the sorting control for adjusting the processing capacity changing means (the sheave motor M1 and the toumi motor M2) of the sorting apparatus B and the engine load L detected by the load detecting means S7, H are maintained within the target load range. In other words, the vehicle speed control for shifting the continuously variable transmission 12 is executed so that the engine speed r is maintained at the target speed. In order to perform the above-mentioned sorting control, the control means H obtains the target values of the chaff opening degree and the Toumi wind force corresponding to the detection values of the layer thickness sensor S5 based on the stored relationship table, Control is performed so that the deviation between the detected value of the chaff opening sensor S2 or the toumi wind sensor S3 is zero.

Further, the control means H is used to configure a maximum vehicle speed storage means 100 for storing the maximum value of the vehicle speed detected by the rotation speed sensor S6 as a set upper limit vehicle speed. Specifically, it is held as a value in the memory for storage. Then, the control means H is in a state where the detected vehicle speed does not exceed the set upper limit vehicle speed V1 based on the information in the maximum vehicle speed storage means 100, and the detected vehicle speed is set by the upper limit vehicle speed setting volume VR. The vehicle speed control is executed in a state where the vehicle speed upper limit value V2 is not exceeded, and the set upper limit vehicle speed V1 is set to a vehicle speed value that is lower by the set amount when the amount of sorted material exceeds the upper limit value of the processing capacity of the sorting device B. When the correction process for correcting is executed and the deceleration operation of the continuously variable transmission 12 is performed based on the increase of the engine load in the vehicle speed control, the setting is performed for a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) after the deceleration operation. Maximum vehicle speed V1
Is configured to be stopped.

Specifically, the control means H, in the state in which the sheave motor M1 is operated to the upper limit opening position of the opening change range, detects the sorted products detected by the layer thickness sensor S5. When the state where the layer thickness exceeds the set layer thickness value Imax for sorting capacity limit determination continues for a set time (for example, 2 seconds) or more, it is determined that the amount of the sorted material exceeds the upper limit value of the throughput of the sorting apparatus B. Is configured to. On the other hand, when the sheave motor M1 is operated to an opening position smaller than the upper limit opening of the opening change range, the control means H determines that the layer thickness detection value of the layer thickness sensor S5 is the sorting capacity limit. When the layer thickness value is smaller than the set layer thickness value Imax for determination, the set upper limit vehicle speed V1 is corrected to a vehicle speed value of a set amount high speed.

Further, the control means H sets the above-mentioned setting when the amount of the sorted products exceeds the upper limit value in the work process before the current work process among the plurality of work processes set in the cutting work site. When the correction process for correcting the upper limit vehicle speed V1 to the vehicle speed value of the set amount lower speed is continuously executed a plurality of times (for example, twice), the sheave motor M1 causes the upper limit opening degree of the opening change range in the current work stroke. Teaching correction processing is performed to correct the set upper limit vehicle speed V1 to a vehicle speed value that is a set lower amount in accordance with the operation to the position, and based on the information of the cutting type detecting means 101, the cutting work site is defined. Only if you are mowing in a mowing format,
The teaching correction process is performed. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, a plurality of work steps k1, k2, k3 juxtaposed in a rectangular cutting work site K are arranged.
When performing mowing work in the form of strip cutting while traveling back and forth with the traveling directions reversed in order along the respective longitudinal directions, the stroke one step before the current working stroke, that is, the current stroke k
The teaching correction processing is performed based on the execution information of the correction processing in the stroke k1 for step 2 and the stroke k2 for the current step k3 (this information is stored in the control means H).

Next, the flow of threshing and vehicle speed combined control by the control means H will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. In the main flow (FIG. 13), first, after performing initialization processing for initializing various control parameters, when the stock origin sensor S4 changes from the off state to the on state and the start of the mowing operation is confirmed, the mowing operation is performed. It is checked whether or not the format has been detected, and if not, the cutting format detection processing (FIG. 14) is executed. On the other hand, if the mowing type has been detected, it is determined from the state of the manual automatic changeover switch SW4 whether the operation is manual operation or automatic operation. Usually, the initial stage of operation is on the manual operation side, and in the manual operation, the driver manually operates and shifts along the stalk line to ensure that the aircraft steering position is appropriate for the stalk line. Then, the manual automatic changeover switch SW4 is switched to the automatic operation side. When the switching to the automatic driving side is confirmed, it is further confirmed that the threshing switch SW1 is in the on state, and then each processing of data processing, threshing control, vehicle speed control, and steering control is performed.

In the cutting mode detection process (FIG. 14), each steering control sensor S8 is driven every time the vehicle travels a predetermined traveling distance Δh.
The voltage En (n = 1, 2, 3) from the potentiometer Rp of a, S8b, S8c and traveling distance data are sampled, and this sampling is repeated until traveling the distance H1. Then, when it is confirmed that the vehicle has traveled the distance H1, the maximum value of the plurality of data on the voltage En during this period is set to the steering control sensors S8a, S8b, S.
8c, and if these maximum values are equal to or greater than a certain value, dn (n = n = n)
1, 2, 3), and the dn value is not stored unless it is a certain value or more.

Next, the difference between the dn value obtained this time and the dn value obtained last time, that is, the value of the running distance interval Δh is H1-.
If the value is between α and H1 + α, set the pruning counter to +
1 is added, and when the value of the interval Δh is a value between H2-α and H2 + α, the horizontal cutting counter is incremented by +1. On the other hand, when the value of the interval Δh is other than the above value, the strip cutting counter and the horizontal cutting counter are decremented by -1. However, the counter value is not negative. The row cutting counter and the horizontal cutting counter are respectively provided with steering control sensors S8a, S8b and S8.
A total of 6 are prepared for each c. And
When at least one counter of the three row-cutting counters or at least one counter of the three horizontal-cutting counters reaches or exceeds a preset number N (for example, about 3 to 5) , The respective cutting type is discriminated as a line cutting type or a horizontal cutting type.

In the data processing (FIGS. 15 to 17), when the stock source sensor S4 is in the ON state (during the cutting operation), first, the chaff opening is checked and the chaff opening is fully opened (the sheave motor M1 changes the opening). If it is operated up to the upper limit opening position of the range), the layer thickness detection value I of the layer thickness sensor S5
Is greater than or equal to the set layer thickness value Imax for the discrimination of the sorting ability limit. When the layer thickness detection value I is equal to or greater than the set layer thickness value Imax, the deceleration flag is set only when the state continues for 2 seconds or more. On the other hand, when the chaff opening is not in the fully open state (the sheave motor M1 is operated to an opening position smaller than the upper limit opening of the opening change range), and,
Even if the chaff opening is fully open, the speed increase flag is set when the state where the layer thickness detection value I is less than the set layer thickness value Imax continues for 2 seconds or more.

Next, the current vehicle speed value is compared with the value in the memory MAXSPD that stores the maximum value of the detected vehicle speed up to that point, and only when the current detected vehicle speed value is larger than that value, the current vehicle speed is The value is updated and stored in the memory MAXSPD as the maximum value of the detected vehicle speed. It should be noted that the value of the memory MAXSPD for storing the maximum value of the detected vehicle speed is the maximum detected vehicle speed in the work stroke when the stock sensor S4 is turned off, that is, when the mowing operation in one work stroke is completed. It is stored as a value in another memory MAXSPD2 and then reset to zero.

Next, a predetermined timer time (for example, 15 seconds)
Only when the timer time of the deceleration timer set to 1 has elapsed, the set upper limit vehicle speed V1 in the vehicle speed control is set as follows. The deceleration timer is started when the deceleration operation of the continuously variable transmission 12 is performed based on the increase of the engine load in the vehicle speed control (this is confirmed from the set state of the vehicle speed control deceleration flag). As a result, the correction process for the set upper limit vehicle speed V1 is stopped for a predetermined time (for example, 15 seconds) after the deceleration operation based on the increase in the engine load.
In addition, the deceleration timer sets the teaching deceleration flag set in the previous work stroke, as described later, and the acceleration and deceleration flags to indicate whether or not the teaching deceleration is performed in the next stroke. It is also started when the setting upper limit vehicle speed V1 is changed and set, which will be described later, based on the set state.

When it is confirmed that the timer time of the deceleration timer has elapsed, the cutting type is strip cutting, the teaching deceleration flag is set in the previous work step, and
When the chaff opening is fully open, the memory MAX
A vehicle speed value that is 0.1 m / s lower than the maximum value of the vehicle speed detected in the previous stroke stored in SPD2 is set.
Further, the deceleration timer is started after turning on the once deceleration flag indicating that the first set upper limit vehicle speed V1 has been corrected to the low speed side. On the other hand, when the cutting type is not line cutting, when the teaching deceleration flag is not set, and when the chaff opening is not in the fully open state, the setting upper limit vehicle speed V1 is set based on the next set state of the acceleration and deceleration flags. Move on to processing.

That is, if the deceleration flag is in the set state, it is checked whether or not the cutting type is the line cutting type. If the cutting type is the line cutting type, the setting state of the deceleration flag is checked once. Here, when the once deceleration flag is ON, the correction of the set upper limit vehicle speed V1 to the low speed side is executed twice consecutively, so the two deceleration flag is set while the one deceleration flag is set. Is reset, and if the once deceleration flag is not on, set the once deceleration flag and then
A vehicle speed value 0.1 m / s lower than the maximum detected vehicle speed stored in the memory MAXSPD is set as the upper limit vehicle speed V1. It should be noted that, based on the set state of the above-described two-time deceleration flag, when the stock origin sensor S4 is off (that is, at the end of the mowing work in one work process), the teaching deceleration flag is set for the next process. To do. If it is not the trimming type, the vehicle speed value 0.1 m / s slower than the maximum detected vehicle speed stored in MAXSPD is immediately set as the set upper limit vehicle speed V1, and the deceleration flag is reset. If the deceleration flag is in the reset state and the acceleration flag is in the set state, the current set upper limit vehicle speed V1 is 0.1 m /
s The high speed vehicle speed value is set as the upper limit vehicle speed, and the speed increase flag is reset. The deceleration timer is started after the deceleration flag and the acceleration flag are reset. If both the deceleration flag and the speed increase flag are in the reset state, the set upper limit vehicle speed is not changed. As for the set upper limit vehicle speed V1, a large vehicle speed value is set in the initial stage of operation to set the upper limit vehicle speed V1.
The vehicle speed is not restricted by.

In the threshing control (FIG. 18), first, after confirming that the starting condition such as the stock source sensor S4 being in the ON state is satisfied, the layer thickness detection value of the layer thickness sensor S5 is obtained. . Then, the sheave motor M1 and the toumi motor M2 are automatically adjusted so that the chaff opening and the toumi wind force become the target values of the chaff opening and the toumi wind force corresponding to the layer thickness detection value.

In the vehicle speed control (FIG. 19), if the vehicle speed auto switch SW2 is turned on, the vehicle speed is 0.1 m / s or more, and the stock condition sensor S4 is turned on, it is confirmed that the starting condition is satisfied. The vehicle speed is compared with the set upper limit vehicle speed V1 and the auxiliary vehicle speed upper limit value V2. If the vehicle speed is higher than either of them, deceleration operation is performed until the speed becomes lower than both. Next, the engine load L, which is the difference between the current engine speed r and the reference speed R stored in advance, is determined, and it is checked whether or not the load L is within the target load range (target speed). When the load L is larger than the target load range, deceleration operation is performed by a predetermined amount, and when the load L is smaller than the target load range,
Only when the current vehicle speed is slower than either the set upper limit vehicle speed V1 or the auxiliary vehicle speed upper limit value V2, a predetermined amount of speed increase operation is performed, and when the load L is within the target load range, that is, the dead zone, the gear shift operation is performed. Absent.
