Benefits of technology

The invention allows for snow removal to be done while the autonomous snow-removing machine drives with high accuracy in the area set by the region setting unit.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the technology of the related art, work such as the snow removal is performed along a navigation passage or in an area preset by the instruction from the system controller, but it may be difficult to travel the set passage in a region in which the accuracy of a GPS is low.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]An embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to drawings below.

[0031]FIG. 1 is a side view illustrating an embodiment of an autonomous snow removing machine according to the present invention.

[0032]As illustrated in FIG. 1, an autonomous snow removing machine 1 includes a vehicle main body 10 forming a frame of the autonomous snow removing machine 1, traveling apparatuses 11, and a snow removal work unit 12.

[0033]The traveling apparatuses 11 are provided on both of left and right sides of the vehicle main body 10 on a lower side thereof.

[0034]In this embodiment, as the traveling apparatuses 11, crawler-type traveling apparatuses 11 each formed by bridging a crawler track 21 over a pair of wheels 20 are used.

[0035]A power source 22 is mounted on a substantially central portion of the vehicle main body 10 in the front-rear direction. The power source 22 includes electric motors 23 (see FIG. 2) that drive the traveling apparatuses 11, and an engine 24 (see F...

Abstract

An autonomous snow removing machine includes: traveling apparatuses; a snow removal work unit; a region setting unit that sets a snow removal work region in which snow removal is performed by the snow removal work unit; and a control unit that controls the traveling apparatuses such that the traveling apparatuses do not deviate from the snow removal work region set by the region setting unit. As a result, the snow removal work can be performed while causing the autonomous snow removing machine to autonomously travel by controlling the traveling apparatuses in the snow removal work region set by the region setting unit.

Description

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE[0001]The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. ยง 119 to Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-161061 filed on Sep. 4, 2019.
