Steering control device for automatic traveling working car

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To automatically correct a reference bearing to a bearing corresponding to the direction of a working process of a working car and to remove the interruption of working by changing the reference bearing by prescribed angle in the operating direction in case of repeating operation in the same direction by a manual steering means. CONSTITUTION:The direction of the machine body of an automatic traveling working car is detected by a bearing sensor 8 fitted to the machine body and steering operation is automatically executed by a bearing control means 100 based on the detecting information of the sensor 8 so that the machine body 1 is traveled in the previously set reference bearing (alpha). A manual steering means 101 in the means 100 executes steering operation with priority. When steering operation in the same direction is repeated by the means 101, the reference bearing (alpha) is changed by a prescribed angle (DELTAalpha) in the direction of the steering operation by a reference bearing changing means 102. Thus, the reference bearing is automatically corrected in the bearing corresponding to the working process by said changing operation to remove the interruption of working.
