Abstract

A turning working vehicle is provided with a monitor arrangement structure where a driver's seat is arranged on an operation part disposed on a turning body, and a working part manipulation lever which manipulates a working part and a monitor which displays various information are disposed on either one of left and right sides of the driver's seat. The monitor is arranged in an upright state outside and in front of the working part manipulation lever, and a display screen of the monitor is directed toward a viewpoint side of an operator seated on the driver's seat and performing manipulation while viewing a front side. An outer manipulation lever is arranged in an upright state behind the monitor thus allowing the operator to view the display screen of the monitor between the outer manipulation lever and the working part manipulation lever within a field of vision of the operator.

Claims (13)

1. A turning working vehicle comprising:

a turning body;

an operation part disposed on the turning body;

a driver's seat arranged on the operation part; and

a working part manipulation lever for manipulating a working part, a monitor for displaying various information, and an outer manipulation lever, which are disposed on either one of left and right sides of the driver's seat,

wherein the monitor is arranged outside and in front of the working part manipulation lever which is in an upright state, and a display screen of the monitor is directed toward a viewpoint side of an operator who is seated on the driver's seat and performs manipulation while viewing a front side, and

wherein the outer manipulation lever is arranged in an upright state behind the monitor and is also arranged behind and outside the working part manipulation lever thus allowing the operator to view the display screen of the monitor between the outer manipulation lever and the working part manipulation lever within a field of vision of the operator.

2. The turning working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein an upper end portion of the working part manipulation lever, an upper end portion of the outer manipulation lever, and a center portion of the display screen of the monitor are sequentially arranged from the driver's seat to the outside on one side, and wherein a height of the operation part from a floor portion is disposed at a low position, and wherein a center portion of the display screen of the monitor, the upper end portion of the working part manipulation lever and the upper end portion of the outer manipulation lever are arranged sequentially from a front side to a rear side thus allowing the operator to view the display screen of the monitor arranged outside and below the driver's seat between the outer manipulation lever and the working part manipulation lever within a field of vision of the operator.

3. The turning working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a monitor manipulation switch is disposed in the vicinity of the display screen of the monitor, and the monitor manipulation switch is configured to allow the operator seated on the driver's seat to extend his hand between the working part manipulation lever and the outer manipulation lever and to manipulate the monitor manipulation switch.

4. The turning working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a liquid crystal display, having a viewing angle of a fixed angle in the longitudinal direction and in the lateral direction, is used as the monitor, and a display screen of the liquid crystal display is arranged to be directed toward an operator side such that a viewpoint of the operator seated on the driver's seat is always disposed within a range of field of vision having a pyramidal shape formed by the viewing field angles in the longitudinal direction and in the lateral direction.

5. The turning working vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein a monitor manipulation switch is disposed in the vicinity of the display screen of the monitor, and the monitor manipulation switch is configured to allow the operator seated on the driver's seat to extend his hand between the working part manipulation lever and the outer manipulation lever and to manipulate the monitor manipulation switch.

6. The turning working vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein a liquid crystal display, having a viewing angle of a fixed angle in the longitudinal direction and in the lateral direction, is used as the monitor, and a display screen of the liquid crystal display is arranged to be directed toward an operator side such that a viewpoint of the operator seated on the driver's seat is always disposed within a range of field of vision having a pyramidal shape formed by the viewing field angles in the longitudinal direction and in the lateral direction.

7. The turning working vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein a liquid crystal display, having a viewing angle of a fixed angle in the longitudinal direction and in the lateral direction, is used as the monitor, and a display screen of the liquid crystal display is arranged to be directed toward an operator side such that a viewpoint of the operator seated on the driver's seat is always disposed within a range of field of vision having a pyramidal shape formed by the viewing field angles in the longitudinal direction and in the lateral direction.
