Hydraulic motor unit and hydraulic four-wheel-drive working vehicle

摘要

A hydraulic motor unit according to the present invention includes an electric motor having an electric motor main body that is electrically controlled, an electric motor case that accommodates the electric motor main body and an electric motor main body output shaft that is rotated around an axis line thereof by the electric motor main body, the electric motor case being detachably mounted to the motor housing, wherein mounting of the electric motor to the motor housing causes the electric motor main body output shaft to be operatively connected to the first end of the control shaft so that the control shaft is rotated around the axis line in accordance with rotation of the electric motor main body output shaft.

1. A hydraulic four-wheel-drive working vehicle, comprising;
a vehicle frame; first and second wheels that are supported by the vehicle frame at one side and the other side in a vehicle longitudinal direction and are positioned so that a turning radius of the first wheel becomes smaller than a turning radius of the second wheel as a turning angle of the vehicle becomes larger; a driving power source supported by the vehicle frame; a variable-displacement hydraulic pump unit operatively driven by the driving power source and configured so that a volume is varied in accordance with an operation amount of a speed-change operating member; a variable-displacement first hydraulic motor unit operatively driving the first wheel; a fixed-displacement second hydraulic motor unit operatively driving the second wheel; a turning-operation-side sensor that detects the steering angle; and a control device, the first and second hydraulic motor units being hydraulically driven by the hydraulic pump unit in a synchronized manner to each other, wherein the first hydraulic motor unit includes a first hydraulic motor, a first motor shaft supporting the first hydraulic motor in a relatively non-rotatable manner with respect thereto, a first motor housing that accommodates the first hydraulic motor and supports the first motor shaft in a rotatable manner around an axis line thereof, and a motor-side volume adjusting mechanism that changes a volume of the first hydraulic motor, and an electric motor, wherein the motor-side volume adjusting mechanism includes a motor-side control shaft supported directly or indirectly by the first motor housing in a rotatable manner around an axis line thereof in a state that a first end of the motor-side control shaft is extended outward from the first motor housing, and is configured so as to change the volume of the first hydraulic motor in accordance with rotation of the motor-side control shaft around the axis line, wherein the motor-side volume adjusting mechanism is configured so as to change the volume of the first hydraulic motor within a range including a standard volume and a first volume that is larger than the standard volume, the standard volume being set to cause peripheral speed of the first wheel operatively driven by the first hydraulic motor to be equal to peripheral speed of the second wheel operatively driven by the second hydraulic motor, wherein the electric motor includes an electric motor main body that is electrically controlled, an electric motor case that accommodates the electric motor main body and an electric motor main body output shaft that is rotated around an axis line thereof by the electric motor main body, mounting of the electric motor to the first motor housing causes the electric motor main body output shaft to be operatively connected to the first end of the motor-side control shaft so that the motor-side control shaft is rotated around the axis line in accordance with rotation of the electric motor main body output shaft, and wherein the control device includes a normal mode and a torque-up mode, the normal mode controlling the electric motor main body based on signal from the turning-operation-side sensor in such a manner as that the volume of the first hydraulic motor is changed from the standard volume to the first volume as the working vehicle is shifted from straight traveling state to maximum turning state, the torque-up mode keeping the volume of the first hydraulic motor at the first volume regardless of the turning angle of the working vehicle, and activates the torque-up mode only at the time when the vehicle starts to travel in a state where the torque-up mode is intentionally elected by an operator.
