STEUERUNGSSYSTEM FUER EINEN LOEFFELBAGGER ZUR ANWENDUNG BEI EINEM ARBEITSFAHRZEUG

摘要

A backhoe implement control system used in a work vehicle with an offset mechanism 14, has a detecting unit for detecting positions of movable elements 10, 9, 8, 14 of the backhoe implement 8 relative to a turn table 7 of the vehicle, a determining unit for determining a current position of the implement 8 based on the detected element positions and a safety unit for automatically restricting a further movement of the implement if the detected implement position has overlapped with a predetermined position beyond which the implement will dangerously approach or contact a driver's section 4 or the driver on the vehicle. In an alternative embodiment, the offset mechanism 14 may be operated in direction b automatically to move backhoe bucket 8 away from cab 4. <IMAGE>
