Abstract
A working vehicle includes an inertia detector to measure inertia information of a vehicle body, a rear axle supporting a rear wheel, and a transmission case rotatably supporting the rear wheel. The inertia detector overlaps with at least a portion of the transmission case in a plan view and is capable of accurately measuring inertia information when a vehicle body changes attitude.
Claims15
A working vehicle comprising:
- an inertia detector to measure inertia information of a vehicle body;
- a rear axle supporting a rear wheel;
- a transmission case rotatably supporting the rear axle;
- a ROPS to provide rolling protection and located at or adjacent to the transmission case;
- an antenna to receive satellite position information and supported by the ROPS;
- and
- a driver seat to allow an operator to sit thereon;
- wherein
- the inertia detector is at a position below the antenna and below the driver seat and overlaps at least a portion of the transmission case and the driver seat in a plan view.
6 more elements
A working vehicle comprising:
- a traveling vehicle body configured to travel in accordance with either manual steering with a steering handle or auto steering applied to the steering handle based on a scheduled traveling line;
- a driver to drive the traveling vehicle body;
- a housing to cover the driver;
- a receiver provided to the traveling vehicle body to receive one or more signals from one or more satellites;
- an inertia detector to measure inertia of the traveling vehicle body;
- an auto steering mechanism to automatically steer the steering handle based on the one or more signals received by the receiver and the inertia measured by the inertia detector;
- an anti-vibration structure to suppress vibration of the inertia detector, the anti-vibration structure including an elastic body;
- a support to support the inertia detector on the traveling vehicle body with the anti-vibration structure;
- and
- a support plate attached to the housing, wherein
- the support supports the inertia detector on the housing with the anti-vibration structure, and
- the support includes:
- an attachment portion to which the inertia detector is attached and located below the support plate;
- and
- a fixing portion standing on the attachment portion and being fixed to the support plate with the anti-vibration structure.
