Steering Console Layout for Visible GNSS Correction Status
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing work vehicles with receivers for correction information to correct positional information face challenges in allowing operators to easily recognize the operation state of these devices, particularly when mounted outside the cabin or in retracted portions.
Innovation Solution
A work vehicle design where the correction information device is integrated into the steering section and displayed within the cabin, allowing the operation state to be easily viewed from inside and outside the cabin through transparent portions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If the correction information device is mounted outside the cabin or in retracted portions, then the device can be installed in available space, but the operator cannot easily recognize the operation state of the device
Solution Approach 1:
The correction information device is nested within the steering section, which is itself located within the cabin. This nested arrangement allows the device to be installed in available space while maintaining visibility through the cabin's transparent portions.
Solution Approach 2:
The transparent portions of the cabin act as intermediaries that allow the operation state display to be viewed from outside the cabin while the device remains installed inside the steering section.
2Ease of operation
If the correction information device is mounted inside the cabin in the steering section, then the operation state becomes visible through transparent portions, but the device occupies space within the cabin
Solution Approach 1:
The cabin interior space is segmented into functional zones, with the steering section designated for control devices. This segmentation allows the correction information device to be installed in the steering section without encroaching on the driver's working space.
Solution Approach 2:
The device is positioned in three-dimensional space within the steering section, utilizing vertical and depth dimensions rather than horizontal space, thereby maintaining visibility while preserving cabin floor space.

AI summary
[Problem] A work vehicle capable of easily recognizing an operation state of a device that receives correction information for correcting received positional information is provided. [Solution] A work vehicle including a device that receives positional information in a work site includes a correction information terminal 210 that receives correction information for correcting the positional information from a base station located outside the work site, and a steering section 15 for steering the vehicle. The correction information terminal 210 displays an operation state of the correction information terminal 210 and is disposed in the steering section 15.
