Abstract
A work vehicle includes a detection signal processing section for processing detection signals from a group of sensors mounted on a vehicle body and outputting detection result data and a display unit for displaying the detection result data. The display unit includes a first displaying area for displaying time changing data included in the detection result data, the time changing data changing over time, a second displaying area for displaying safety data included in the detection result data, the safety data relating to safety confirmation, and a third displaying area for displaying alarm-relating data included in the detection result data.
Claims12
A work vehicle comprising:
- a group of sensors mounted on a vehicle body;
- a detection signal processing section for processing detection signals from the group of sensors and outputting detection result data;
- and
- a display unit for displaying the detection result data, the display unit including:
- a first displaying area for displaying time changing data in numerical or graphical form and included in the detection result data, the time changing data changing over time,
- a second displaying area for displaying safety data as illuminated icons arranged one above the other and included in the detection result data, the safety data relating to safety confirmation, and
- a third displaying area for displaying alarm-relating data as illuminated icons arranged one above the other and included in the detection result data,
- wherein the first displaying area displays only time changing related data, the second displaying area displays only safety data and that the third-displaying area displays only alarm-relating data,
- wherein the second displaying area is located exclusively on one lateral side of the first displaying area and the third displaying area is located exclusively on an opposite lateral side of the first displaying area,
- wherein the first displaying area comprises a liquid crystal display, whereas the second displaying area and the third displaying area comprise LED lamps with icon, respectively,
- wherein:
- the first displaying area is divided into a circular center area, crescent-shaped left and right areas facing each other, a circular center area delimited by a right side of the left area and the left side of the right area, and a semi-circular lower extending into a lower portion of the center area;
- and
- data displaying modes in the left area, the right area and the lower area are accurate-shaped bar graphs, whereas data displaying mode at the upper portion of the center area is 7-segment number displaying mode, and
- wherein the safety data includes:
- a parking brake indicator;
- a PTO indicator;
- a seating indicator;
- a left handle indicator;
- and
- a right handle indicator.
