Abstract

Regarding a work vehicle that includes an engine mounted on a travelling machine body and an exhaust gas purification device arranged in an exhaust gas path of the engine, it is an object to prevent the regeneration control of the exhaust gas purification device from being executed against operators' will. The work vehicle of the present invention includes a regeneration switch 329 for executing the regeneration control of an exhaust gas purification device 50 , a meter panel 246 for displaying the situation of driving operations of a travelling machine body 2 , and a work device 15 . Then, when it is assumed that a predetermined amount or more of particulate matter in the exhaust gas purification device 50 is accumulated, the meter panel 246 notifies a regeneration control request warning and displays characters that urge stoppages of work of the work device 15 and travelling of the travelling machine body 2.

Claims (5)

1. A work vehicle configured to include an engine mounted on a travelling machine body; a driving operation display device for displaying rotation speed of the engine and other information and instructions to an operator of the work vehicle; an exhaust gas purification device arranged in an exhaust gas path of the engine; a work device mounted on the travelling machine body; and a controller for executing regeneration control for removing particulate matter inside the exhaust gas purification device; a reset regeneration control configured to effect display on the driving operation display device of instructions to the operator to execute reset regeneration to increase exhaust gas temperature by post injection when regeneration control has not sufficiently removed particulate matter from inside the exhaust gas purification device; and a non-work regeneration control configured to effect, when regeneration and reset regeneration control have not sufficiently removed particulate matter from inside the exhaust gas purification device, display on the driving operation display device of information relating to non-work regeneration transfer conditions comprising the vehicle being in neutral and the parking brake being applied necessary to effect non-work regeneration and instructions to effect, provided the non-work regeneration transfer conditions have been satisfied, non-work regeneration in which post injection is effected while the engine is operated at maximum idle speed.

2. The work vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the displayed information relating to regeneration transfer conditions comprises indicia indicating any regeneration transfer condition not satisfied.

3. The work vehicle according to claim 2 ,

wherein when the regeneration transfer conditions are satisfied, the driving operation display device displays indicia urging the operator to actuate the non-work regeneration.

4. The work vehicle according to claim 3 , further comprising a manually operable regeneration switch for actuating the non-work regeneration, and wherein the displayed indicia effect the non-work regeneration comprise instructions to manually operate the regeneration switch.
