Abstract

With regard to the present invention, valves are modularized so as to improve operativity, and the valves are formed by one member and changed the arrangement thereof so as to be miniaturized, thereby making the maintain work easy. Namely, a PTO rear cover 3 c , in which a PTO driving mechanism having a PTO clutch 28 is housed, is attached to a rear end of a rear housing 3 of a vehicle body, PTO valve equipment 72 controlling on/off of the PTO clutch 28 is provided integrally with the PTO rear cover 3 c , and an oil passage communicating the PTO valve equipment 72 with the PTO clutch 28 and a hydraulic port are formed in the inside of the PTO rear cover 3 c . A plurality of valves is provided so as to control operation of a forward/rearward travel selector 210 and fixed to one of side surfaces of a front housing 201 , an attachment member 281 formed by one plate-like member touches the vehicle body housing 201 , and the valves are arranged on substantial same plane in parallel to the touching surface.

Claims (17)

1. A hydraulic valve equipment of a working vehicle, the working vehicle including a vehicle body housing and a forward/rearward travel selector, the hydraulic valve equipment comprising:

an attachment member formed by one plate-like member, wherein the attachment member has a touching surface and an outwardly facing surface, wherein a plurality of holes are formed inside the attachment member between the touching surface and the outwardly facing surface, wherein the attachment member is exposed and fixed on the vehicle body housing, and wherein the touching surface contacts an outer side surface of the vehicle body housing; and

a plurality of valves for controlling operation of the forward/backward travel selector, wherein the valves are arranged in the respective holes on substantially the same plane in parallel to the touching surface, and are detachable from the attachment member in respective directions in parallel to the touching surface.

2. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of valves include at least two valves parallel to each other, or include at least two valve perpendicular to each other.

3. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of valves include an ON/OFF valve and a proportional valve controlling supply and discharge of pressure oil for the forward/rearward travel selector, and wherein the ON/OFF valve and the proportional valve are arranged in the respective holes so as to be detachable downward from the attachment member.

4. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of valve include a main relief valve and a regulating valve controlling supply and discharge of lubricating oil for the forward/rearward travel selector, and wherein the main relief valve and the regulating valve are arranged in the respective holes so as to be detachable from the attachment member in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body housing.

5. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a pressure detection means for detecting pressure of oil supplied to the forward/rearward travel selector is provided inside the attachment member so as to be detachable downward from the attachment member.

6. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the ON/OFF valve and the proportional valve are parallel to each other.

7. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 4 , wherein the main relief valve and the regulating valve are parallel to each other.

8. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 2 , wherein a pressure detection means for detecting pressure of oil supplied to the forward/rearward travel selector is provided inside the attachment member so as to be detachable downward from the attachment member.

9. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 3 , wherein a pressure detection means for detecting pressure of oil supplied to the forward/rearward travel selector is provided inside the attachment member so as to be detachable downward from the attachment member.

10. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 6 , wherein a pressure detection means for detecting pressure of oil supplied to the forward/rearward travel selector is provided inside the attachment member so as to be detachable downward from the attachment member.

11. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 4 , wherein a pressure detection means for detecting pressure of oil supplied to the forward/rearward travel selector is provided inside the attachment member so as to be detachable downward from the attachment member.

12. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 7 , wherein a pressure detection means for detecting pressure of oil supplied to the forward/rearward travel selector is provided inside the attachment member so as to be detachable downward from the attachment member.

13. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the plurality of valves include a main relief valve and a regulating valve controlling supply and discharge of lubricating oil for the forward/rearward travel selector, and wherein the main relief valve and the regulating valve are arranged in the respective holes so as to be detachable from the attachment member in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body housing.

14. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 13 , wherein a pressure detection means for detecting pressure of oil supplied to the forward/rearward travel selector is provided in the respective holes so as to be detachable downward from the attachment member.

15. The hydraulic valve equipment of the working vehicle as set forth in claim 13 , wherein the ON/OFF valve and the proportional valve are parallel to each other, wherein the main relief valve and the regulating valve are parallel to each other, and wherein the ON/OFF valve and the proportional valve are perpendicular to the main relief valve and the regulating valve.
