Abstract
An oil pressure signal output device which is easy to be integrated with an additional EPC valve and can be manipulated inside/outside a driver's cab. The device makes it possible to reduce the occupied area of hydraulic apparatuses in the driver's cab and to extend a space other than that of hydraulic apparatuses. In the device: the manual oil pressure signal output device for controlling a first hydraulic apparatus, the first electric oil pressure signal output device and the selecting output means are integrated; a second electric oil pressure signal output device for controlling a second hydraulic apparatus abuts against the first electric oil pressure signal output device is removably provided.
Claims8
An oil pressure signal output device comprising:
- a manual oil pressure signal output device for outputting an oil pressure signal based on a manual operation;
- at least one first electric oil pressure signal output device for outputting an oil pressure signal based on an electric signal;
- and
- selecting output means for selecting either an oil pressure signal output from said manual oil pressure signal output device or an oil pressure signal output from said first electric oil pressure signal output device to output the selected oil pressure signal outside;
- wherein said manual oil pressure signal output device for controlling a first hydraulic apparatus, said first electric oil pressure signal output device and said selecting output means are integrated,
- a second electric oil pressure signal output device for controlling a second hydraulic apparatus different from the first hydraulic apparatus is removably provided and abutting against said first electric oil pressure signal output device.
The oil pressure signal output device comprising:
- a manual oil pressure signal output device for outputting an oil pressure signal based on a manual operation by an operator in a driver's cab;
- at least one first electric oil pressure signal output device for outputting an oil pressure signal based on an electric signal from outside the driver's cab;
- and
- selecting output means for selecting either an oil pressure signal output from said manual oil pressure signal output device or an oil pressure signal output from said first electric oil pressure signal output device to output the selected oil pressure signal outside,
- wherein said manual oil pressure signal output device for controlling a first hydraulic apparatus, said first electric oil pressure signal output device and said selecting output means are integrated,
- a pump passage for supplying pressure oil from a hydraulic pump, and a tank passage for draining return oil into a tank, which are respectively brought into communication with a side surface of said first electric oil pressure signal output device,
- a second electric oil pressure signal output device for controlling a second hydraulic apparatus different from the first hydraulic apparatus can be mounted additionally, and
- covers for blocking said pump passage and said tank passage are removably provided on side surfaces of said first electric oil pressure signal output device.
