OPERATING ARRANGEMENT FOR A CONSTRUCTION MACHINE
An operating arrangement for a construction machine comprises an operating device which comprises a touch-sensitive display for inputting operating instructions by an operator, and an operating mask with localization markers. The operating device comprises at least a first alignment feature for aligning the operating mask on the operating device in a pre-defined operating position relative to the operating device. The operating mask is detachably attached to the operating device in the operating position, wherein the operating mask at least partially covers the touch-sensitive display, and wherein the location markers of the operating mask lie over specified areas of the display and facilitate locating the specified areas of the display for inputting instructions.
Work Vehicle
A work vehicle includes a travel body having a rear section provided with a loading platform on which cargo is placeable, and the travel body includes a motor section; a travel device; a driving section rideable by a driver; at least one speed change operation tool configured to give a command regarding a speed change operation; and a transmission device configured to change a speed of motive power of the motor section and transmit the changed motive power to the travel device, and switch a speed change state based on the command from the at least one speed change operation tool. The at least one speed change operation tool includes a main operation tool provided in the driving section, and an auxiliary operation tool provided at a location in the travel body different from the driving section.
Operator commanded placement for control of filling mechanisms
An agricultural harvester has a frame and a spout that is mounted to the frame. A display shows a representation of harvested crop in a receiving vessel. A control system detects an operator input selecting a portion of the receiving vessel and automatically controls a fill control system to being filling the receiving vessel, at the selected portions of the receiving vessel, with harvested material.
Work vehicle
A work vehicle accurately informs an operator of necessity of a regeneration operation and the manner thereof, and specific information on the regeneration operation. The work vehicle comprises a meter panel including: a regeneration operation indicator that indicates a state where the regeneration operation is necessary or a state where the regeneration operation is being performed, an alert indicator that indicates abnormality of the work vehicle, and a first display device that displays information on the regeneration operation. When the regeneration operation is necessary, the regeneration operation indicator, or the regeneration operation indicator and the alert indicator blink, and the first display device displays information on an operation necessary for performing the regeneration operation. When the regeneration operation is being performed, the regeneration operation indicator, or the regeneration operation indicator and the alert indicator light up, and the first display device displays information on a performing state of the regeneration operation.
VANDALISM-RESISTANT INFORMATION INTERFACE APPARATUS FOR AN EARTH WORKING MACHINE
An information interface apparatus (27, 27a) in particular for an operator's platform (24) of an earth working machine (10), for example a road milling machine, recycler, stabilizer, or surface miner, having an interface subassembly (52) encompassing a housing (54) and a functional surface (56) that is received in the housing (54) and embodied to input and/or output information, is characterized in that the information interface apparatus (27, 27a) comprises a protective plate (58), embodied separately from the interface subassembly (52), to cover the functional surface (56); the protective plate (58) comprising an anchoring portion (64) with which the protective plate (58) is anchorable on a counterpart anchoring portion (68) of the interface subassembly (52) and the anchoring portion (64) is thus securable against removal from the functional surface (56); and the protective plate (58) comprising a latching portion (66), different from the anchoring portion (64), with which the protective plate (58) is releasably latchable on a counterpart latching portion (72) of the interface subassembly (52) and the latching portion (66) is thus securable against removal from the functional surface (56).
Work vehicle
A work vehicle such as a tractor including a fuel tank (19), a fuel tank cover (30), a dashboard support member (40), and a dashboard (50). The fuel tank (19) is disposed in a rear portion of a hood in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle body of the tractor. The fuel tank cover (30) covers a rear portion of the fuel tank (19). The dashboard support member (40) is attached to the fuel tank cover (30). The dashboard (50) is supported by the dashboard support member (40). The fuel tank cover (30) includes a first attachment portion (31) for attaching the dashboard support member (40). The dashboard (50) is configured to be directly attachable to the first attachment portion (31) (without using the dashboard support member (40)).
Agricultural vehicle calibration via human machine interface
A touchscreen Human Machine Interface (HMI) may be used to communicate with a machine controller which, in turn, may communicate with a variety of systems of an agricultural machine to calibrate those systems. Accordingly, the HMI, via the machine controller, may communicate and interact with various electronically controlled devices of the machine, such as a joystick, a brake pedal, a hydrostatic pump system, a steering angle sensor, a rear steering controller, and the like (such as via an ISO Bus or CAN bus) to effect such calibrations.
AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE
A vehicle control device incorporating at least one vehicle control element and a vehicle terminal is disclosed, the at least one vehicle control element being adapted to control a functionality of a vehicle implement or tool, the vehicle terminal incorporating a terminal display, the terminal display being adapted to alter the functionality of the vehicle implement or tool associated with the vehicle control element, the terminal display also indicating the functionality associated with the vehicle control element, wherein the vehicle control element incorporates a vehicle control display element, the vehicle control display element indicating whether the functionality of the vehicle control element has been altered. This enables a driver when looking at the vehicle control element easily to see from the vehicle control display element whether the functionality of the vehicle control element has been altered.
ASSISTANCE APPARATUS FOR WORKING VEHICLE AND OPERATING DEVICE FOR WORKING VEHICLE
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.
Managing recreational vehicles and accessories
A vehicle is electrically connected to one or more accessories. The vehicle includes at least one controller that may be configured to identify the accessory based on accessory identification information. The controller may also be configured to provide one or more commands to control an operation of the accessory.
