  • Publication number: 20230286525
    Abstract: A work vehicle includes a monitoring device which monitors the surroundings of the work vehicle; an alarm device which outputs an alarm on the basis of a monitoring result of the monitoring device; a posture detection unit which detects whether an operator sits on an operation seat of the work vehicle and is in an operation posture for operating the work vehicle; and a control unit which controls the alarm device on the basis of the result of detection by the posture detection unit. Based on detection by the posture detection unit that the operator is in the operation posture, the control unit causes the alarm device to output an alarm based on the monitoring result of the monitoring device, and based on detection by the posture detection unit that the operation posture of the operator is released, the control unit causes the alarm device to stop outputting the alarm based on the monitoring result of the monitoring device.

  • Publication number: 20110175005
    Abstract: The structures of oil paths and switching control of a mechanical selector valve for controlling a hydraulic actuator and the cost of parts of the mechanical selector valve are respectively simplified and reduced to levels not achievable by an electromagnetic selector valve. However, simple and quick switching operation of the mechanical selector valve by the use of a nearby switch which requires small force to actuate is difficult, and this makes the mechanical selector valve less easy to operate than the electromagnetic selector valve. A selector valve operating mechanism (110) is provided with operating pistons (176, 179) which are hydraulic pistons connected through an operation link (161) to a spool (145) of a PTO selector valve (240), an solenoid valve (113) for hydraulically controlling reciprocation of the operating pistons (176, 179), and a controller (123) which is a control device for transmitting an operation signal to the solenoid valve (113).

  • Patent number: 7775556
    Abstract: Production of a working vehicle frame consumes high costs because it requires high rigidity. A simple construction improves the rigidity of the frame and reduces costs required for the production. In a structure of a frame (9) for a working vehicle (1), side sections of the frame (9) are constructed in a boat form, and, in a front view, the width of a lower section of the frame (9) is set smaller than that of the central section in the vertical direction of the frame (9). Further, a mast plate (63) for supporting a front loader (2) and a front axle installation plate section (75) are integrated, and side frames (62) constructing the side section of the frame (9) and the mast plate (63) are jointed in a lateral T shape in a side view.
