Abstract
An assistance apparatus for a working vehicle includes a controller configured or programmed to control a plurality of functions relating to the working vehicle, a first function operation actuator to select a function among the plurality of functions, and a second function operation actuator to change a control parameter of the function selected via the first function operation actuator, and the second function operation actuator includes a dial switch to change the control parameter by being rotated.
Claims18
An assistance apparatus for a working vehicle, the assistance apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured or programmed to control a plurality of functions relating to the working vehicle;
- a first function operation actuator to select a function among the plurality of functions;
- and
- a second function operation actuator to change a numerical value of a control parameter of the function selected via the first function operation actuator;
- wherein
- the first function operation actuator includes a dial switch to select the function by being rotated;
- the second function operation actuator includes a dial switch to change the numerical value of the control parameter by being rotated;
- the first function operation actuator and the second function operation actuator are provided on an armrest;
- and
- an axial direction of a rotary axis of the first function operation actuator is different from an axial direction of a rotary axis of the second function operation actuator.
An assistance apparatus to be arranged on a working vehicle, the assistance apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured or programmed to control a plurality of functions relating to the working vehicle;
- an operation actuator allocated a predetermined function among the plurality of functions;
- wherein
- the controller is configured or programmed to perform the predetermined function allocated to the operation actuator in response to an operation of the operation actuator;
- the controller is configured or programmed to include an updater configured or programmed to update the predetermined function allocated to the operation actuator to a different function different from the predetermined function among the plurality of functions;
- and
- the operation actuator is in the form of a physical push-button switch that includes a first indicator lamp to change a manner in which the first indicator lamp provides an indication according to a category to which the function updated by the updater belongs.
An operating device for a working vehicle, the operating device comprising an operating lever to receive an instruction to perform various functions of the working vehicle, wherein
- the operating lever includes:
- a base portion pivotally supported in a vicinity of an operator's seat of the working vehicle;
- a grip provided at a distal portion of the base portion;
- and
- a switcher to couple the grip and the base portion and switch between a first form in which an angle of the grip with respect to the base portion is a first angle and a second form in which the angle is a second angle different from the first angle;
- and
- the operating lever is configured such that a function of the working vehicle to be performed in accordance with an instruction received by the operating lever being operated in a predetermined manner varies depending on whether the switcher is in the first form or in the second form.
