Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a cabin for an agricultural working machine, in particular a tractor, according to the preamble of independent patent claim 1 and to an agricultural working machine, in particular a tractor, with a cabin according to the preamble of independent patent claim 15.

[0002] Work machines, such as tractors, and the attachments adapted to them often need to be adjusted for operation or with regard to the work to be performed in a field. Certain settings can be made automatically using actuators on the work machine and / or the attachment adapted to it, while others must be made manually by the operator of the work machine or agricultural vehicle. This often requires tools such as wrenches or the like, with which the settings can then be made manually. Adjustment may be necessary before, during and / or after operation of the work machine, so the operator often takes the tool with them into the cab of the work machine.In addition to such tools, the operator also brings food and / or drinks into the cab, as the machine is designed to operate at full capacity during the short harvest season, resulting in long working days without extended breaks. Not every machine necessarily has a storage compartment or cooler in the cab for storing food, drinks, and / or tools during the workday. These items are therefore often simply placed in the cab, where they can then move uncontrollably inside the cab while the agricultural machine is operating. This is an undesirable situation.

[0003] If the agricultural machine has a storage compartment, it is often located under paneling or the driver's seat due to the limited space in the cab. For example, such a storage compartment located under the driver's seat in the cab is known from US Pat. No. 9,487,149 B2.

[0004] While such a design allows for the aforementioned items to be stowed, accessibility while the operator is in the cab controlling the work machine or vehicle combination is limited. For example, if the storage compartment is located under the driver's seat, the operator must rise from the driver's seat each time to access the stored items. This is a rather cumbersome and not particularly practical procedure, which also does not allow for quick access to the stored items. Furthermore, such storage compartment concepts often involve greater design complexity, as complex mechanisms are required to open and close the storage compartments.

[0005] Integrating storage compartments into the trim panels is another option for creating storage space in the cab. However, due to the high level of dirt generated during operation of agricultural machinery, which often finds its way into the interior of the cab, such a design is considered disadvantageous and impractical in terms of cleaning. Furthermore, storage compartments designed in this way detract from the appearance of the interior of the cab, a factor that can certainly influence a purchasing decision.

[0006] For adjustment and / or maintenance work on the agricultural machine on the farm and / or in the field, the use of several tools and / or other operating resources may occasionally be necessary. If there is no toolbox stored on the outside of the agricultural machine, it would be advantageous to avoid having to remove all the tools individually from the storage compartment in the cab or to collect them from the cab floor and carry them to the work site.

[0007] Based on this, it is therefore the object of the present invention to eliminate the described disadvantages of the prior art and in particular to provide a cabin with a device for receiving objects, which allows objects such as tools or the like to be safely stowed inside the cabin, whereby uncomplicated and quick accessibility is ensured, a removal option is created and the appearance of the interior of the cabin is not impaired.

[0008] This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of independent patent claim 1, wherein advantageous developments of the cabin according to the invention are the subject of the corresponding dependent patent claims 2 to 14.

[0009] Accordingly, the present invention relates to a cabin for an agricultural work machine, in particular a tractor. The cabin comprises a frame formed by a cabin floor, a cabin roof, and cabin struts connecting these to one another, between which a windscreen, side windows, and a rear window are arranged. Paneling elements are arranged at least in regions on the frame inside the cabin. The cabin further comprises a device for receiving objects. The cabin is characterized in that the device comprises at least one fastening structure and at least one device for receiving objects that can be detachably fastened inside the cabin by means of the fastening structure, wherein the fastening structure is formed by at least one paneling element.

[0010] The design according to the invention allows objects such as tools or the like to be safely stowed inside the cabin in a particularly uncomplicated manner, while ensuring uncomplicated and quick accessibility to these objects. Furthermore, the design according to the invention creates a removal option for the device, so that the operator of the agricultural machine can transport the objects together with the device from the cabin to a location in the immediate vicinity of the agricultural machine, for example when the operator is adjusting and / or servicing the agricultural machine. Furthermore, the design of the device for receiving objects according to the invention does not impair the appearance of the interior of the cabin.Rather, the device, including its components—the mounting structure and fixture—integrates seamlessly into the interior appearance of the cab created by the cladding elements. The device for holding objects also allows existing space in the cab that is not used by the operator during operation of the agricultural machine to be used to create storage space, without any loss of comfort or accessibility for the operator.

[0011] According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the fastening structure is formed by a floor mat covering the cabin floor.

[0012] In particular, in the floor area of ​​the cabin there are spaces that are not used by the operator of the agricultural work machine during operation. These spaces can be used by the design according to the invention in that the device for holding objects is attached directly to the floor mat in the said areas. The floor area of ​​the cabin is generally easily accessible for the operator, so that the objects stored in the device or the entire device including the objects stored there can be easily reached by the operator. By arranging this, particularly where there is space that is not used by the operator, the operator does not experience any loss of comfort, for example by restricting the operator's freedom of movement inside the cabin.

[0013] According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the fastening structure and the device form a force and / or form fit for releasably fastening the device.

[0014] A force-locking and / or positive-locking connection between the device and the fastening structure provides a particularly simple way to removably attach the device to the cladding element. With minimal effort, the operator can detach the entire device from the cladding element if they wish to remove it or if it is not required for the operation of the agricultural machine. Should the operator wish to reattach the device to the designated location on the cladding element inside the cab, they can do so again with minimal effort.

[0015] It is preferably provided that the fastening structure is designed as at least one projection protruding from the cladding element, wherein the device comprises at least one recess formed on an outer surface facing in the direction of the fastening structure in the fastened state of the device, wherein the projection is arranged in the recess of the device in a fastened state of the device.

[0016] It is further preferably provided that the fastening structure comprises at least two projections spaced apart from one another, wherein the device comprises at least two correspondingly spaced-apart recesses.

[0017] It is particularly preferred that the fastening structure comprises three projections spaced apart from one another, wherein the device comprises three correspondingly spaced-apart recesses.

[0018] The design of the fastening structure in the form of one or more projections and the formation of one or more recesses in the device for receiving the projection(s) further considerably simplifies the detachable fastening of the device to the cladding element by means of the fastening structure. Furthermore, with a design having several projections spaced apart from one another and correspondingly several recesses spaced apart from one another, a specific, intended alignment of the device relative to the cladding element can always be ensured without the operator having to position the device precisely during the fastening process. Furthermore, the several projections and recesses spaced apart from one another create a twist-proof feature so that the device cannot twist relative to the cladding element when fastened.

[0019] According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the projection is designed as a prism, wherein the recess has a cylindrical shape, wherein a diameter of a circle passing through the corners of the projection designed as a prism essentially corresponds to the diameter of the cylindrical recess.

[0020] Preferably, it is provided that the projection is designed as a hexagonal prism, wherein the recess has a cylindrical shape, wherein a diameter of a circle passing through the corners of the projection designed as a hexagonal prism substantially corresponds to the diameter of the cylindrical recess.

[0021] This design allows for a frictional connection for the detachable fastening of the device and the cladding element by means of the fastening structure in the form of a press fit. The operator therefore only needs to position the device relative to the fastening structure and press it onto the fastening structure with minimal force, whereby the device is fastened or fixed to the cladding element via the interaction of the projection(s) and the recess(es).

[0022] Alternatively, it is provided that the projection and the recess are designed to be complementary to one another.

[0023] In this way, a positive connection of the fastening structure device can be realized, whereby, for example, only one projection and one recess are required to fasten the device to the cladding element and at the same time ensure that the device cannot rotate relative to the cladding element.

[0024] According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the fastening structure is magnetic and the device is magnetizable at least in regions.

[0025] Alternatively, it is provided that the fastening structure is magnetizable and the device is magnetic at least in some areas.

[0026] A magnetic design provides an alternative force-locking connection between the mounting structure and the recess for releasably attaching the device to the cladding element. The magnetic force exerted by the magnet can be selected such that the device is securely held to the cladding element when attached, yet the operator is able to release the device with minimal effort.

[0027] According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the fastening structure is formed integrally with the cladding element.

[0028] Alternatively, it is provided that the fastening structure is formed with a form-fitting, force-fitting and / or material fit with the cladding element.

[0029] It is preferably provided that the fastening structure is formed by means of a screw connection with the cladding element.

[0030] If the fastening structure is formed with a form-fitting, force-fitting and / or material fit with the cladding element, the formed connection is designed and / or arranged in such a way that it is not perceptible to the operator of the agricultural work machine, who is inside the cabin.

[0031] The inventive design of the fastening structure and the cladding element, either integrally or by means of a connection, allows the fastening structure to be designed as a component of the cladding element, which is also perceived as such by the operator of the agricultural machine. This allows for a visually appealing design of the fastening structure, which, even when the device is not attached, blends seamlessly into the appearance created by the cladding elements inside the cabin.

[0032] According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that an external shape of the device corresponds to a shape of the cladding element which forms the fastening structure and / or cladding elements adjacent thereto.

[0033] According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the device is formed from a material which corresponds to a material of the cladding element.

[0034] The matching of the device's external shape with the shape of the cladding element forming the fastening structure and / or adjacent cladding elements, as well as the materials, further facilitates the device's seamless integration into the interior appearance of the cabin defined by the cladding element. In other words, the device essentially becomes part of the cladding and contributes to the visual appearance of the cabin's interior.

[0035] According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the cabin comprises at least two fastening structures, which are formed at different locations in the interior of the cabin, and a device, wherein the device can be detachably fastened by means of the fastening structures at the different locations in the interior of the cabin.

[0036] This creates a modular design for the device. Depending on the user's needs, the operator can position the device at various locations within the cabin, as several mounting structures are formed by the paneling components inside the cabin. Depending on where the operator needs the items inside the cabin, especially if food and / or beverages are stored in the device, the operator can select a suitable location inside the cabin and secure the device using the mounting structure provided there.

[0037] According to an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the fastening structure is formed in a region of the cladding element adjacent to a steering column of the cabin.

[0038] Due to the geometry of the cabin and the positioning of the steering column inside the cabin, there are often spaces in the area of ​​the steering column that are not used by the operator during operation of the agricultural machine. By designing the mounting structure precisely in these areas, it can be ensured that positioning the device does not result in a loss of comfort or restrict the operator's freedom of movement inside the cabin.

[0039] According to an advantageous development of the invention, the device is a storage box.

[0040] The object of the invention is further achieved by an agricultural working machine, in particular a tractor, with a cabin according to independent patent claim 15.

[0041] The present invention is described in more detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the figures.

[0042] They show: Fig. 1 a schematic and exemplary representation of an agricultural working machine according to the invention in the form of a tractor; Fig. 2 a schematic and exemplary representation of a partial area inside a cabin according to the invention of the agricultural work machine from Fig. 1 with a device for holding objects; Fig. 3 a schematic and exemplary representation of the part of the cabin from Fig. 2, wherein a fastening structure of the device for receiving objects is depicted; Fig. 4 a first schematic and exemplary sectional view through the device for receiving objects along a vertical plane; and Fig. 5 a second schematic and exemplary sectional view through the device for receiving objects along a horizontal plane.

[0043] Fig. Figure 1 shows a schematic and exemplary representation of an agricultural work machine 1 according to the invention in the form of a tractor 2, the basic structure of which is known. The agricultural work machine 1 accordingly comprises a plurality of working units (not shown in the figures) that serve to drive or operate the agricultural work machine 1 and / or to drive or operate an attachment (not shown in the figures) that can be coupled to the agricultural work machine 1.

[0044] For controlling and generally monitoring the operation of the agricultural working machine 1, the agricultural working machine 1 comprises a cabin 3 according to the invention, in which an operator 4 is located during operation of the agricultural working machine 1 to control the same. Furthermore, the cabin 3 comprises a frame 5, which, as shown in Fig. 1, comprises a cabin floor 6, a cabin roof 7 and cabin struts 8 connecting the cabin floor 6 and the cabin roof 7. The cabin struts 8 comprise the essentially vertically running cabin pillars, also called A and B pillars, as well as any cross struts extending between the cabin pillars. Between the cabin pillars forming the A pillars, the cabin floor 6 and the cabin roof 7 extends a front window 9 which forms a front spatial closure of the cabin 3. In addition to the front window 9, the cabin 3 comprises side windows 10 on each of its sides, which can be part of an access door to the cabin 3. The side windows 10 extend between a respective cabin pillar forming an A pillar and a respective cabin pillar forming a B pillar.Furthermore, the cabin 3 comprises a rear window 11 which extends between the cabin pillars forming the B-pillars, the cabin roof 7 and a rear cross member and which is pivotally mounted on the frame 5, for example on the cabin roof 7 or the cabin pillars forming the B-pillars.

[0045] Inside the cabin 3, in addition to a driver's seat on which the operator 4 of the agricultural work machine 1 can sit to control it, there is a steering column 12 with a steering wheel 13 for steering the agricultural work machine 1 during operation. The frame 5, or the frame elements forming the frame 5 (cabin floor 6, cabin roof 7, and cabin struts 8), are surrounded or covered at least in some areas by cladding elements 14. In other words, cladding elements 14 are arranged at least in some areas on the frame 5 inside the cabin 3.

[0046] The cladding elements 14 serve to provide the operator 4, who is located inside the cabin 3 during operation of the agricultural work machine 1, with an appealing visual impression of the cabin 3. At the same time, the cladding elements 14 serve to route cables, lines, or the like, which are required, for example, for implementing the steering function or for transmitting data between various electronic devices inside and outside the cabin 3, inside the cabin 3 without them being noticed by the operator 4. Typically, the cladding elements 14 are made of a plastic, preferably a polyurethane plastic. However, the cladding elements 14 can also be made of other materials, for example a metal such as aluminum, stainless steel, or the like, and / or wood.It is equally conceivable for the cladding elements 14 to be formed from a mix of materials, for example, in such a way that the cladding element 14 is predominantly made of plastic, but includes applications or inserts made of another material, for example, metal and / or wood. The cladding elements 14 or regions of the cladding elements 14 can also be provided with coverings, for example, made of fabric and / or leather, which ensure an appealing visual and / or tactile perception in the interior of the cabin 3.

[0047] The cabin 3 of the agricultural work machine 1 further comprises a device 15 for holding objects. As already described above, such objects can be tools and / or operating materials that the operator 4 requires for adjusting the agricultural work machine 1 before, during, and / or after operation of the agricultural work machine 1 and / or for maintenance purposes. Furthermore, such objects also include food and / or beverages that the operator 4 carries with him during operation of the agricultural work machine 1.

[0048] It is essential that the device 15 comprises at least one fastening structure 16 and at least one device 17 for receiving objects, which can be detachably fastened by means of the fastening structure 16 in the interior of the cabin 3. In other words, the device 15 is formed by the at least one fastening structure 16 and the at least one device 17, wherein the device 17 can be fastened via the fastening structure 16 in the interior of the cabin 3 in such a way that the device 17 can be detached from the fastening structure 16 at any time by the operator 4, for whatever reason. It is also essential that the fastening structure 16 is formed by at least one of the cladding elements 14, which are arranged at least partially on the frame 4 in the interior of the cabin 3.In other words, the fastening structure 16 forms a component of the cladding element 14, so that the fastening structure 16 is visually perceived by the operator 4 of the agricultural work machine 1 as a part or element of the corresponding cladding element 14. Such a design of the fastening structure 16, by means of which the device 17 can thus be detachably fastened to a cladding element 14, therefore ensures an attractive visual appearance while simultaneously creating storage space inside the cabin 3 with good accessibility, wherein the comfort and / or freedom of movement of the operator 4 inside the cabin 3 is not restricted or impaired.

[0049] The device 15 can comprise not only one fastening structure 16, but also two or more fastening structures 16, which are formed by one or more cladding elements 14 in the interior of the cabin 3. This makes it possible for the device 17 to be releasably fastened not only at one point / position in the cabin 3, but at various points / positions inside the cabin 3. It is important in this case, at least insofar as only one device 17 and not several different devices 17 are to be fastened at the various points inside the cabin 3, that the fastening structures 16 are identically designed at the various points inside the cabin 3, so that the one device 17 can be releasably fastened by means of all fastening structures 16.

[0050] The device 15 for receiving objects is described below with reference to the Fig. 2 to 5 described in detail.

[0051] In the illustrated embodiment, especially in the Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the fastening structure 16 of the device 15 is formed by a floor mat 18, which represents a covering element 14 of the cabin 3. Forming the fastening structure 16 from the floor mat 18 represents a preferred embodiment, since in the area of ​​the cabin floor 6 there is generally space which is not used by the operator 4 to operate the agricultural work machine 1. In particular, an area of ​​the covering element 14 adjacent to the steering column 12, here the floor mat 18, whether on the right or left side of the steering column 12, is preferably suitable for forming the fastening structure 16, since here, due to the geometric design of the cabin 3 and the central positioning of the steering column 12, space is created in front of the windscreen 9 inside the cabin 3, which space is generally not used by the operator 4 of the agricultural work machine 1 during operation.However, the fastening structure 16 can also be formed by other cladding elements 14 in the interior of the cabin 3.

[0052] The Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 further show that in the preferred embodiment, the device 17 for receiving objects is formed by a storage box. The storage box can optionally, as in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4, can be designed without a lid or can also be provided with a lid for closing the storage box. The device 17, in the illustrated embodiment designed as a storage box, has a structure 20 on an inner surface 19 forming the bottom of the device 17, which serves to ensure that any objects deposited in the device 17 do not move excessively, preferably not at all, in the device 17 during operation of the agricultural work machine 1. The device 17 is preferably made of the same material as the cladding element 14, to which the device 17 is releasably fastened by means of the fastening structure 16. The external shape of the device 17, in the illustrated embodiment the storage box, is determined by the shape of the cladding element(s) 14, from which the fastening structure 16 is formed, and optionally by the cladding elements 14 adjacent thereto. Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, for example, show that the floor mat 18, in the area forming the fastening structure 16, has a substantially trapezoidal shape due to the geometric configuration of the cabin 3 and the positioning and shape of the steering column 12. Accordingly, the device 17, designed as a storage box, has a trapezoidal outer shape, so that when attached, it follows the shape defined by the floor mat 18, thus blending into the design of the cladding elements 14 inside the cabin 3 and thereby creating a visually appealing appearance.

[0053] For the detachable fastening of the device 17 to the fastening structure 16, it is provided that the fastening structure 16 and the device 17 optionally form a frictional connection and / or a positive connection. The fastening structure 16 is designed for this purpose as at least one projection 21 protruding from the cladding element 14. The device 17 accordingly comprises at least one recess 22 for fastening. The recess 22 is formed on an outer surface 23 of the device 17, wherein the outer surface 23, in the fastened state of the device 17, points in the direction of the fastening structure 16 or the surface 24 of the cladding element 14, from which the at least one projection 21 protrudes. In a preferred embodiment, the projection 21 can be prismatic, i.e. in the form of a prism. The device 17 comprises a recess 22 with a cylindrical shape.If a circle is defined which runs through the corners of the projection 21 designed as a prism, the diameter of this circle essentially corresponds to the diameter of the cylindrical recess 22 in the device 17. Essentially means that the diameter of the defined circle either exactly corresponds to the diameter of the cylindrical recess 22 or is minimally larger, preferably a few µm, than the diameter of the cylindrical recess 22. As a result, a force-locking connection between projection 21 and recess 22 can be formed in the form of a press fit, which allows the device 17 to be detachably fastened to the cladding element 14 by means of the fastening structure 16.

[0054] In an alternative embodiment, it is also possible for the projection 21 and the recess 22 to be complementary to one another. The shape of the recess 22 thus corresponds to the shape of the projection 21, so that when the device 17 is attached to the cladding element 14 by means of the fastening structure 16, a positive connection is formed as an alternative or in addition to the force-fitting connection.

[0055] Further alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that the fastening structure 16, for example in the form of at least one projection 21, is magnetic. The device 17 is then correspondingly magnetizable at least in some areas, for example in the region of at least one recess 22. It could equally well be the case that the fastening structure 16, for example in the form of at least one projection 21, is magnetizable. With such a configuration, the device 17 would then be correspondingly magnetic at least in some areas, for example in the region of at least one recess 22.

[0056] The fastening structure 16, for example in the form of at least one projection 21, can optionally be manufactured integrally with the cladding element 14, i.e., in a single manufacturing step, for example, an injection molding step, or can be formed with the cladding element 14 in a form-fitting, force-fitting, and / or material-fitting manner, i.e., can be connected to the cladding element 14 during the manufacture of the cabin 3. In a form-fitting, force-fitting, and / or material-fitting configuration, the type of connection is not perceptible to the operator 4 inside the cabin 3.

[0057] The Fig. The preferred embodiment for releasably fastening the device 17, illustrated in Figures 2 to 5, comprises not just one protruding projection 21 as the fastening structure 16, but three such projections 21, which are spaced apart from one another. The device 17, embodied here as a storage box, comprises three recesses 22 spaced apart from one another, corresponding to the design of the fastening structure 16. The appropriate positioning of the recesses 22 on the device 17 ensures that the device 17, in the fastened state, assumes a specific position relative to the cladding element 14, to which the device 17 is releasably fastened by means of the fastening structure 16.

[0058] Furthermore, especially in the Fig. 3 and Fig. 5, in the preferred embodiment shown, the projections 21 are each formed as a hexagonal prism. The recesses 22 of the device 17 each have a cylindrical shape, wherein, as already generally described above, the diameter of a circle passing through the corners of a respective projection formed as a hexagonal prism essentially corresponds to the diameter of a corresponding cylindrical recess 22, as can be seen in particular in the sectional view through the device 15 from Fig. 5.

[0059] In Fig.4, which shows a further sectional view through the device 15, the fastening structure 16, designed as hexagonal projections 21, is fastened to the cladding element 14, here the floor mat 18, by means of a screw connection 25. The screw connection 25 is inserted into the cladding element 14, here the floor mat 18, in such a way that it cannot be perceived by the operator 4 when he or she is inside the cabin 3. The fastening structure 16, or the fastening structure 16 designed as projections 21, is thus perceived by the operator 4 as a component of the cladding element 14, here the floor mat 18.For this purpose, the screw of the screw connection 25 is inserted from a surface 26 of the cladding element 14, here the floor mat 18, pointing in the direction of the cabin floor 6, and the projection 21, which is provided with a bore, is screwed onto the threaded shaft of the screw protruding from the cladding element 14, here the floor mat 18.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the embodiments described above serve only to describe the claimed teaching, but are in no way to be regarded as limiting or exhaustive.
