Abstract

A working vehicle is configured so that interference does not occur even if an attachment is exchanged and so that a reduction in work efficiency caused by the exchange of an attachment is minimized. A backhoe comprises: a working machine body; a working device which is connected to the working machine body, has joints, and allows an attachment to be removably mounted to the front end of the working device; and a control device in which stop positions are set, the stop positions being those at which the working device is stopped in order to avoid the interference of the working device. The control device has connected thereto: a position sensor which detects the position of the working device; an input means by which the stop positions are set in advance and by which the stop positions are adjusted independently of each other; and a screen operation section which allows selection among the stop positions.

Claims (15)

1. A working vehicle comprising:

a working machine body;

a working device which is connected to the working machine body and has a plurality of joints and whose tip is connected detachably to an attachment; and

a control device in which a stop position is set so as to stop the working device for avoiding interference of the working device,

characterized in that

the control device is connected to a detection means which detects a position of the working device, an input means which sets previously a plurality of stop positions and adjusts independently the plurality of stop positions, and a selection means which selects the plurality of stop positions,

concerning each of the plurality of stop positions, an adjustment range which does not include the other stop positions is determined, and

when one of the plurality of stop positions is adjusted, the adjustment range of another of the plurality of stop positions is changed based on one of the plurality of stop positions which is adjusted.

2. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , input means adjusts the stop positions by direct teaching which makes the working device move to the stop positions and memorizes the positions.

3. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein at least a part of the input is detachably attached to the control device.

4. The working vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein at least a part of the input means is detachably attached to the control device.

5. The working vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the detection means detects an angle of at least one of the plurality of joints of the working device.

6. The working vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the detection means detects an angle of at least one of the plurality of joints of the working device.

7. The working vehicle according to claim 3 wherein the detection means detects an angle of at least one of the plurality of joints of the working device.

8. The working vehicle according to claim 4 wherein the detection means detects an angle of at least one of the plurality of joints of the working device.
