Abstract

A selector valve operating mechanism is provided with operating pistons which are hydraulic pistons connected through an operation link to a spool of a PTO selector valve, an solenoid valve for hydraulically controlling reciprocation of the operating pistons, and a controller which is a control device for transmitting an operation signal to the solenoid valve. Control of operation of the solenoid valve moves the spool through the operating pistons and the operation link to switch the PTO selector valve.

Claims (7)

1. A selector valve operating mechanism for a working vehicle which operates a mechanical selector valve for controlling a hydraulic actuator, comprising:

a hydraulic piston means connected through an operation link to a spool of the mechanical selector valve;

an electromagnetic valve hydraulically controlling reciprocal action of the hydraulic piston means; and

a control device transmitting an action signal to the electromagnetic valve, wherein by action control of the electromagnetic valve, the spool is moved via the hydraulic piston means and the operation link so as to operate the mechanical selector valve,

wherein the hydraulic piston means comprises two hydraulic pistons respectively for moving the spool forward and rearward, and each of the hydraulic pistons is single acting type having a pressure oil chamber at only one of front and rear sides in the move direction of the piston, and

wherein the operation link is interlockingly connected to the spool and is configured to move based on the movement of the hydraulic piston means.

2. The selector valve operating mechanism for the working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the hydraulic piston is constructed integrally with the electromagnetic valve.
