Abstract

A traveling vehicle, wherein a power transmission system for traveling straight forward, a power transmission system for turning, a power transmission system for PTO, and a power transmission system for driving a pump are disposed in a transmission part integrally with each other and a transmission device for traveling straight forward and a continuously variable transmission device for turning are interlockingly installed in the transmission part continuously with each other in a parallel state, whereby the transmission systems can be compactly disposed in the transmission part, and all of the power transmission system for traveling straight forward, the power transmission system for turning, the power transmission system for PTO, and the power transmission system for driving the pump can be easily assembled by merely installing the transmission part on a body frame.

Claims (21)

1. A traveling vehicle comprising

a body frame interposed between a pair of left and right traveling parts and, mounted on the body frame, a prime mover part and a transmission part which is interlockingly connected with the prime mover part,

a power transmission system for traveling straight forward, a power transmission system for turning, a power transmission system for PTO and a power transmission system for driving a pump, said power transmission systems being integrally arranged in the inside of the transmission part, and

a transmission device for traveling straight forward and a continuously variable transmission device for turning, said transmission device being interlockingly arranged in a juxtaposed state in the transmission part.

2. A traveling vehicle comprising

a body frame interposed between a pair of left and right traveling parts and mounted on the body frame, a prime mover part and a transmission part which is interlockingly connected with the prime mover part,

the transmission part including a transmission front lid portion, a transmission body portion which is integrally formed with an axle case and a transmission intermediate portion which is provided between the transmission front lid portion and the transmission body portion,

a power transmission system for traveling straight forward, a power transmission system for turning, a power transmission system for PTO and a power transmission system for driving a pump, said power transmission systems being integrally arranged in the inside of the transmission part,

wherein power which is inputted from the prime mover part through the transmission front lid portion is branched and transmitted to the power transmission system for traveling straight forward, the power transmission system for turning and the power transmission system for PTO at the transmission intermediate portion and the transmission front lid portion, and

a parking brake and a PTO clutch are arranged in the inside of the transmission intermediate portion.

3. A traveling vehicle comprising

a body frame interposed between a pair of left and right traveling parts and mounted on the body frame, a prime mover part and a transmission part which is interlockingly connected with the prime mover part,

a transmission device for traveling straight forward and a continuously variable transmission device for turning, said transmission devices being interlockingly connected with the transmission part in a juxtaposed state, and

charge ports of the transmission devices communicably connected with each other through a charge oil passage formed in the inside of a wall portion of the transmission part.

4. A traveling vehicle comprising

a continuously variable transmission device for turning and a transmission device for traveling straight forward, said transmission devices being interlockingly connected with a transmission part,

a steering wheel is interlockingly connected with the continuously variable transmission device for turning by way of an operation mechanism for turning,

a forward/backward traveling changeover lever interlockingly connected with the transmission device for traveling straight forward by way of an operation mechanism for traveling straight forward, and

a booster for turning operation mounted on an intermediate portion of the operation mechanism for turning, and a booster for traveling straight forward mounted on an intermediate portion of the operation mechanism for traveling straight forward.

5. A traveling vehicle according to claim 4 , wherein the booster for turning operation, an interlocking operation member of the booster for turning operation', the booster for traveling straight forward, and an interlocking operation member of the booster for traveling straight forward are arranged along positions in the vicinity of left-side and right-side body frame forming members which are arranged such that the members extend in the fore-and-aft direction, and

the respective boosters adopt a hydraulic actuation method and a working oil is supplied to the respective boosters by way of booster supply oil passages which are formed by branching from charge oil passages leading to the transmission devices.
