Description

  The present invention relates to a transport vehicle that transports loads such as earth and sand.

  Conventionally, large dump trucks used mainly in mines, etc., among transport vehicles, operate to lift the loading platform by extending the hoist cylinder after self-propelled to the discharge site with loaded items such as earth and sand on the loading platform In this manner, the loading platform is tilted with respect to the vehicle body frame by this raising operation, and the loaded material is slid down along the tilted loading platform, thereby quickly discharging a large amount of loaded material.

  In such a transport vehicle such as a large dump truck, if the load is fixed to the loading platform and cannot be discharged after the loading platform is raised, the loading valve is operated by operating an operation valve provided on the side of the chassis that supports the loading platform. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for dropping and discharging a load attached to a cargo bed by vibrating the cargo bed with a vibrator provided on the vehicle. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for driving a vibrator in conjunction with an operation of an operation lever when lifting a cargo bed to vibrate the cargo bed.

Utility Model Registration No. 3065571 JP-A-5-85249

  By the way, when discharging the transported sediment, etc. to the discharge site, for example, transporting sediment with low viscosity, the sediment in the platform gradually increases as the undulation angle of the platform increases during the discharge. It collapses from the bottom and slides down on the undulated loading platform, and is discharged from the lower end of the loading platform to the outside.

  On the other hand, when discharging clay and other highly viscous sediment, the sediment in the loading platform does not gradually collapse even if the lifting angle of the loading platform increases, and the lifting angle of the loading platform exceeds a certain angle. In many cases, a large amount of earth and sand are rapidly slid down on the bed and discharged outside the bed. When a large amount of earth and sand slides down on the loading platform in this way, when the earth and sand passes the hinge pin position and reaches the lower end side of the loading platform, the weight of the large amount of earth and sand is concentrated on the lower end side of the loading platform. A moment acts to rotate the loading platform in the lifting direction around the hinge pin. As a result, a force is applied to the hoist cylinder in such a direction that it is forcibly extended, and negative pressure is generated in the hoist cylinder. And the air mixed in the pressure oil in the hoist cylinder is separated (occurrence of cavitation), the life of the hydraulic equipment is reduced, noise is generated, the vibration is generated and the operability is deteriorated. Will occur. Also, after the earth and sand are discharged, the loading platform shakes greatly due to the reaction, giving a large impact to the driver in the cab and the engine mounted on the vehicle body, reducing the life and operability of the vehicle body. There is also a problem.

  On the other hand, in the technique described in Patent Document 1, the operation valve for starting the vibrator is provided on the side surface of the chassis that supports the loading platform, and the driver has to get out of the cab and manually operate it. It is not possible to cope with the problem of earth and sand discharge while lifting the loading platform. It is also conceivable that an operating valve is arranged in the cab so that the operator can operate it without getting out of the cab. In that case, the operator must decide the timing of operating the operating valve. There is a problem that vibration (vibration) cannot be started at an appropriate timing, or a burden is imposed on the operator. For example, when the timing for starting the vibrator is delayed, the undulation angle of the loading platform becomes large, and the earth and sand suddenly fall, and the above-described cavitation and shaking of the loading platform cannot be prevented. If the timing is too early, originally unnecessary vibration is added to the vehicle body, which causes problems such as discomfort to the operator and damage to the vehicle body. Since the operator in the cab cannot visually observe the earth and sand loaded on the loading platform, it is extremely difficult for the operator to vibrate at an appropriate timing.

  Moreover, in the technique described in Patent Document 2, although it is possible to prevent a sudden drop of earth and sand by starting the vibration in conjunction with the lift-up operation of the loading platform, it is possible to start and end the vibration at an appropriate timing. As a result, vibrations are added to the vehicle body more than necessary, resulting in a decrease in operability such as discomfort to the operator, and damage due to unnecessary vibrations.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art. When raising and lowering the loading platform in order to discharge the loaded earth and sand, the occurrence of cavitation and the vehicle body are prevented by preventing a sudden fall of the earth and sand. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a transport vehicle that can prevent swaying of the vehicle and reduce operability due to vibration and less damage to the vehicle body.

  In order to achieve the above object, an invention according to claim 1 is directed to a body frame, a cargo bed mounted on the body frame so as to be able to undulate, a hoist cylinder for lifting the cargo bed, and instructions for raising and lowering the cargo bed. In a transport vehicle including an operation device, a vibration applying device that applies vibration to the cargo bed, an angle sensor that measures a undulation angle of the cargo bed with respect to the vehicle body frame, a pressure sensor that measures a pressure of the hoist cylinder, A controller for controlling the drive of the vibration applying device based on the undulation angle measured by the angle sensor and the hoist cylinder pressure measured by the pressure sensor, and the controller operates the operating device to control the loading platform. Lifted, the undulation angle measured by the angle sensor exceeded a predetermined angle and measured by the pressure sensor When the hoist cylinder pressure exceeds a predetermined pressure, the driving of the vibration applying device is started, and when one of the undulation angle and the hoist cylinder pressure becomes the predetermined angle or less than the predetermined pressure, The first control for stopping the driving of the vibration applying device is executed.

  In the present invention configured as described above, when the undulation angle of the loading platform and the hoist cylinder pressure exceed predetermined values, the vibration adding device starts to be driven. In addition, the load can be gradually dropped, and the load can be prevented from dropping together. Therefore, when the vibration is applied at an appropriate timing, a sudden drop of the loaded object can be prevented, the hoist cylinder can be prevented from extending excessively, and the occurrence of cavitation and the shaking of the vehicle body can be prevented. At the same time, vibration is not added until the undulation angle of the carrier and the hoist cylinder pressure exceed the predetermined values, so that extra vibration is not added to the vehicle body, damage to the vehicle body can be reduced, and deterioration in operability can be reduced. it can. In addition, the hoist cylinder pressure is also used to start and stop the vibration adding device, so if the loading / unloading angle of the loading platform increases and the load on the loading platform falls properly, vibration is not added, causing damage to the vehicle body. Reduction and prevention of operability deterioration are possible.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the transport vehicle according to the first aspect, the controller further includes an input device that selects one of a first mode and a second mode, and the controller is configured such that the input device is the first mode. When the first mode is selected, the first control is executed. When the input device selects the second mode, the undulation angle is determined based on only the undulation angle measured by the angle sensor. When the angle is exceeded, the driving of the vibration adding device is started, and when the undulation angle becomes equal to or less than the predetermined angle, the second control is executed to stop the driving of the vibration adding device.

  As a result, in addition to the first control described above, vibration can be added even in cases where the load is stuck to the front plate or the bottom plate of the loading platform when transporting a highly viscous load such as oil sand. Since it has 2 control, in addition to preventing a sudden fall of the load, it is effectively suppressed that the load remains on the loading platform.

  In the transport vehicle according to claim 1, the controller further includes an input device that selects one of a first mode, a second mode, and a third mode, and the controller includes the controller When the input device selects the first mode, the first control is executed, and when the input device selects the second mode, the undulation is based only on the undulation angle measured by the angle sensor. When the angle exceeds the predetermined angle, driving of the vibration adding device is started, and when the undulation angle becomes equal to or smaller than the predetermined angle, the second control is executed to stop the driving of the vibration adding device. When the input device selects the third mode, a third control that does not drive the vibration adding device is executed regardless of the undulation angle and the hoist cylinder pressure.

  Thereby, in addition to the first control and the second control described above, the third control capable of handling a case of transporting a load that does not need to be subjected to vibration, such as transporting earth and sand having low viscosity. Therefore, in addition to preventing a sudden drop of the load and dealing with a highly viscous deposit, it is possible to more reliably prevent unnecessary vibrations from being added.

  According to the present invention described above, when raising and lowering the loading platform in order to discharge the loaded earth and sand, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of cavitation and the shaking of the vehicle body by preventing the sudden fall of the earth and sand, Provided is a transport vehicle that is less susceptible to operability due to vibration and less damaging to the vehicle body.

<First Embodiment>
(overall structure)
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the first embodiment, a dump truck (so-called mining dump), which is a large transport vehicle that transports crushed stones mined in an open-pit mine, quarry, mine, or the like, will be described as an example. FIG. 1 is an explanatory side view of the dump truck, FIG. 2 is an enlarged side view illustrating a state where the dump truck's loading platform discharges the load, and FIG. 3 extends the hoist cylinder, lifts the loading platform 1 and discharges the loading. It is a figure which shows an example of a state. In FIG. 3, the hoist cylinder is not shown for easy viewing.

  A mining dump truck as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a body frame 2 formed with a sturdy frame structure, and a vessel (loading platform) 1 for loading earth and sand mounted on the body frame 2 so as to be able to undulate. The hoist cylinder 3 that tilts the loading platform 1 with respect to the vehicle body frame 2 and discharges the load, the cab 6, the front wheels 7, the rear wheels 8, and the vibration adding device 11 are mainly provided.

  The loading platform 1 is a bottomed box-shaped container provided for loading loads such as crushed stones. The loading platform 1 is connected to the vehicle body frame 2 via a hoist cylinder 3 and a hinge pin 4. Further, a top plate portion 1c is provided at the upper front side of the loading platform 1, and this top plate portion 1c scatters rocks or the like in the cab 6 installed on the lower side thereof (that is, the front portion of the vehicle body frame 2). It has a function of protecting the driver's cab 6 when the vehicle falls, etc. Further, a pad (rubber pad) 5 is attached to the bottom plate side of the loading platform 1. When the loading platform 1 is in a lying posture with respect to the vehicle body frame 2, the pad 5 is seated on the vehicle body frame 2 and traveling. Absorbs vibrations and impacts during loading.

  Two hoist cylinders 3 are installed in the lower part of the loading platform 1 with a predetermined interval in the width direction of the vehicle, and are constituted by multistage hydraulic cylinders. The hoist cylinder 3 is extended by supplying pressure oil from a hydraulic pump (not shown) to the bottom oil chamber of the hoist cylinder 3, and the loading platform 1 is rotated to the raised position with the hinge pin 4 as a fulcrum. is there. On the other hand, when the loading platform 1 is turned to the lowered position with the hinge pin 4 as a fulcrum, the pressure is reduced by supplying pressure oil from the hydraulic pump to the rod side oil chamber of the hoist cylinder 3. The raising / lowering (turning) operation of the loading platform 1 is performed by an operator operating an operating device 21 (see FIG. 4) installed in the cab 6.

  Inside the cab 6, a steering handle, an accelerator pedal, a brake pedal (none of which are not shown), and the like are installed in addition to an operation lever 21 that gives an instruction to raise and lower the loading platform.

  The front wheel 7 is a steering wheel that is steered based on a steering angle that is input via a handle or the like, and is rotatably mounted on the front side of the body frame 2. The rear wheel 8 is a drive wheel and is rotatably mounted on the rear side of the body frame 2.

  The vibration adding device 11 is a vibrator that generates vibration, and is installed on the bottom plate 1a of the loading platform 1 as shown in FIG. The vibration applying device 11 according to the present embodiment is a type that generates vibration by the excitation force of an unbalanced weight attached to the rotation shaft of the motor.

(System configuration)
A system circuit related to the operation of the loading platform will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an outline of a system circuit for loading platform operation.
A circuit related to the operation of the loading platform includes a controller 20, an operation lever 21, a mode switch 22, an angle sensor 23, and a pressure sensor 24.

  The operation lever 21 is an operation device that instructs to raise and lower the loading platform 1 installed in the cab 6, and the operator operates the operation lever 21 according to the desired operation of the loading platform 1. Then, an operation signal corresponding to the operation lever position is output to the controller 20.

  The mode switch 22 is a switch for switching the control mode of the vibration applying device 11, and has three modes of AUTO (first control) / ON (second control) / OFF (third control) according to the position of the switch. A mode signal is output to the controller 20. Details of each control mode will be described later.

  The angle sensor 23 is an angle detection means for detecting the undulation angle of the loading platform 1 with respect to the vehicle body frame 2 and is provided at the position of the hinge pin 4. As shown in FIG. 2, the angle sensor 23 detects the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1 with respect to the vehicle body frame 2 when the loading platform 1 rotates to the raised position with the hinge pin 4 as a fulcrum. Is output to the controller 20.

  The pressure sensor 24 is a pressure detection unit that measures the pressure in the bottom side oil chamber of the hoist cylinder 3, and outputs a pressure signal SP corresponding to the magnitude of the pressure to the controller 20.

The controller 20 calculates operation signals for the vibration applying device 11 and the hoist cylinder 3 based on signals from the operation lever 21, the mode switch 22, the angle sensor 23, and the pressure sensor 24, and outputs the operation signals to the vibration applying device 11. The hoist cylinder 3 is connected to the input side, and a line for inputting signals from the operation lever 21, mode switch 22, angle sensor 23, and pressure sensor 24 is connected to the input side, and the hoist cylinder 3 is connected to the output side. A line for outputting an operation signal of the vibration applying device 11 is connected.
The controller 20 has a mode switch 22, and the mode switch 22 can select the content of the process for controlling the operation of the vibration applying device 11. Hereinafter, the contents of the control process will be described.

  First, in a state where the loading platform 1 is rotated toward the raising position or a rotation position toward the lowered position, the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1 indicated by the angle signal Sθ measured by the angle sensor 23 is predetermined. When the pressure P in the bottom side oil chamber of the hoist cylinder 3 indicated by the pressure signal SP of the hoist cylinder measured by the pressure sensor 24 exceeds a predetermined pressure Pa. It is determined that there is a high possibility that the earth and sand will slide down on the loading platform 1 and the driving of the vibration adding device 11 is started. Further, when one of the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1 and the pressure P of the hoist cylinder 3 becomes equal to or lower than the predetermined undulation angle θa or the predetermined hoist cylinder pressure Pa, the earth and sand loaded on the loading platform 1 gather together on the loading platform 1. There is an AUTO mode (first control) in which it is determined that the possibility of sliding down is low and the drive of the vibration applying device 11 is stopped.

  Further, in order to deal with a load that is quite viscous, based on only the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1, the vibration adding device 11 starts to be driven when the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1 exceeds a predetermined undulation angle θa. There is an ON mode (second control) in which the driving of the vibration applying device 11 is stopped when the angle is equal to or less than the predetermined undulation angle θa.

  Furthermore, in the case of earth and sand with low viscosity, as the undulation angle of the loading platform 1 increases, it gradually collapses from the lower side and slides down on the inclined loading platform 1 in order to be discharged from the lower end side of the loading platform 1 to the outside. Since there is no need to vibrate the loading platform 1, the loading platform 1 can be operated without driving the vibration adding device 11 regardless of the values of the undulation angle θ and the hoist cylinder pressure P to cope with the transportation of a load having low viscosity. There is an OFF mode (third control) in which no vibration is applied.

Here, the above-mentioned predetermined undulation angle θa is an undulation angle when normal low-viscosity earth and sand slides down the loading platform 1, and is set to θa = 37 °, for example. The above-mentioned predetermined pressure Pa is a pressure in the bottom side oil chamber of the hoist cylinder 3 when a large amount of earth and sand remains on the loading platform 1, and is set to Pa = 80 kg / cm ² , for example.

(Control processing)
Control processing executed by the controller 20 of the present embodiment during the earth and sand discharging operation will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 5, first, in step 1, the controller 20 receives the undulation angle signal Sθ from the angle sensor 23, the pressure signal SP from the pressure sensor 24, the signal from the operation lever 21, and the signal from the mode switch 22. Read.

  Next, in step 2, based on the read operation signal from the operation lever 21, an operation for rotating the loading platform 1 to the raised position (loading platform lifting operation) or an operation for rotating to the lowered position (loading platform lowering operation). It is determined whether it is going. If “YES” is determined in the step 2, the process proceeds to the next step 4. On the other hand, if it is determined as “NO”, the operation of the loading platform 1 is not performed, and thus the process proceeds to step 3 where the vibration applying device 11 is not operated.

  Next, in step 4, it is determined whether the mode from the mode switch 22 read in step 1 is ON / AUTO / OFF. If it is determined as “ON” in step 4, the process proceeds to step 5 and the control process in the ON mode is determined. If it is determined as “AUTO”, the process proceeds to step 6 and the control process in the AUTO mode is determined as “OFF”. In this case, the process proceeds to step 3 to start the control process in the OFF mode, and the vibration applying device 11 is not operated.

  Next, in step 5, it is determined whether or not the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1 indicated by the angle signal Sθ from the angle sensor read in step 1 exceeds a predetermined undulation angle θa. If "YES" is determined in the step 5, the process proceeds to a step 8 so as to start driving the vibration applying device 11. If it is determined as “NO”, the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1 does not exceed the predetermined undulation angle θa, and therefore the process proceeds to step 3 where the vibration adding device 11 is not driven.

  Next, in step 6, it is determined whether the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1 indicated by the angle signal Sθ from the angle sensor read in step 1 exceeds a predetermined undulation angle θa. If "YES" is determined in the step 6, the process proceeds to a step 7. If “NO” is determined, the process proceeds to Step 3.

  Next, in step 7, it is determined whether or not the pressure P in the bottom side oil chamber of the hoist cylinder 3 indicated by the pressure signal SP from the pressure sensor read in step 1 exceeds a predetermined pressure Pa. If it is determined as “YES” in Step 7, a large amount of earth and sand remains on the platform 1 even though the undulation angle θ of the platform 1 exceeds the predetermined undulation angle θa when the ordinary sediment slides down. Therefore, it is considered that there is a high possibility that the earth and sand gather together and slide down the loading platform 1. For this reason, when it determines with "YES" at step 7, it progresses to step 8, the drive of the vibration addition apparatus 11 is started, and a vibration is added to the loading platform 1. FIG. Thereby, the earth and sand remaining on the loading platform 1 starts to gradually fall before the undulation angle of the loading platform 1 becomes larger. On the other hand, if “NO” is determined in step 7, it is determined that there is a low possibility that the earth and sand will fall together rather than a large amount of earth and sand remaining on the inclined loading platform 1, and the process proceeds to step 3.

  When step 8 or step 3 is completed, the process returns to step 1 and the process is repeated.

  In the AUTO mode, the pressure P of the hoist cylinder decreases when the earth and sand gradually drop. Therefore, the controller determines that “the possibility that the loaded earth and sand will fall together” is low, and determines “NO” in step 7. Then, the process proceeds to step 3 and the drive of the vibration applying device 11 is stopped. In the ON mode, when it is determined that the load has been completely dropped and the operation lever 21 is operated to lower the loading platform 1, the undulation angle θ decreases, and “NO” is determined in step 5, and the process proceeds to step 3. Then, the drive of the vibration applying device 11 is stopped. For this reason, the addition of unnecessary vibration is suppressed, and damage to the vehicle body is reduced.

(effect)
The dump truck of the present embodiment has the above-described configuration and performs the above-described control.
In such a dump truck, the excavated earth and sand and the like are loaded on the loading platform in a state where the loading platform is held at the lowered position as shown in FIG. When the operator in the cab 6 operates the operation lever 21 to extend the hoist cylinder 3, the loading platform 1 pivots to the raised position shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 with the hinge pin 4 as a fulcrum. Slides down along the raised carrier 1 and is discharged to the discharge site.

  Here, when sediment with low viscosity is loaded on the loading platform 1, the sediment gradually collapses from the lower side as the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1 increases, and the loading platform 1 has a predetermined undulation angle θa. In the state exceeding this, most of the earth and sand slides down on the loading platform 1 in sequence. For this reason, it does not slide down on the loading platform 1 in a state where a large amount of earth and sand are gathered, and a force in the direction of forcibly extending the hoist cylinder 3 does not act.

On the other hand, when highly viscous earth and sand are loaded on the loading platform 1, even if the loading platform 1 exceeds a predetermined undulation angle θa, a large amount of sediment remains on the loading platform 1. In this case, there is a high possibility that a large amount of earth and sand will eventually slide down on the loading platform 1 and pass through the position of the hinge pin 4. A negative pressure is generated in 3 or the loading platform is shaken by the reaction and a large impact is applied to the vehicle body.
However, as in the present embodiment, an angle sensor 23 that detects the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1 and a pressure sensor 24 that detects the pressure P in the hoist cylinder 3 are provided. In the AUTO mode, the controller 20 is controlled by the angle sensor 23. When the detected undulation angle θ exceeds the predetermined undulation angle θa and the hoist cylinder pressure P detected by the pressure sensor 24 exceeds the predetermined pressure Pa, the vibration adding device 11 starts to be driven, and the undulation angle θ Alternatively, when one of the hoist cylinder pressures P is equal to or lower than a predetermined value, control is performed to stop driving the vibration applying device 11. In the ON mode, based on only the undulation angle θ detected by the angle sensor 23, the vibration adding device 11 starts to be driven when the undulation angle θ exceeds a predetermined undulation angle θa. When the value is less than or equal to the value, control is performed to stop driving the vibration applying device 11.

  Thereby, even if an operator does not care, the drive of the vibration addition apparatus 11 is started, a vibration is added to the loading platform at an optimal timing not too early and not too late, and the earth and sand are gradually slipped along the loading platform 1. Can be dropped. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the load bed 1 from sliding down in a state where a large amount of earth and sand are gathered, to prevent the hoist cylinder 3 from being forcibly extended, to suppress the occurrence of cavitation, to reduce the life of hydraulic equipment and to generate noise. Or the occurrence of problems such as deterioration of operability due to vibration. In addition, since it is possible to prevent the loading platform 1 from being greatly shaken by the reaction, it is possible to suppress the impact from being transmitted to the driver in the driver's cab 6, so that the driver's workability in the driver's cab 6 is reduced and mounted on the vehicle body. In addition, it is possible to prevent a problem that a large impact is applied to a mounted device such as an engine.

  Further, in the AUTO mode, the hoist cylinder pressure P decreases when the sand or the like remaining on the loading platform 1 gradually falls before the undulation angle of the loading platform 1 increases. The determination that “the possibility is high” is stopped, and the drive of the vibration applying device 11 is stopped. For this reason, unnecessary vibration is not added, and damage to the vehicle body can be reduced.

  Further, for example, when a highly viscous load (for example, oil sand) is stuck to the front plate or the bottom plate and the load is not large, an AUTO that adds vibration when the pressure becomes a predetermined value or more. In this mode, it may be difficult to drop a load that is stuck, but if you have a mode that adds vibration when the undulation angle θ is greater than or equal to a predetermined angle, such as the ON mode, By adding vibration, it can be gradually dropped before it is put together, effectively preventing the load from remaining on the loading platform and slowing down the work efficiency due to the time required for discharging work. .

In this way, as compared with the case where the vibration is applied by the operator's operation, the vibration is automatically added while the loading platform is raised according to the condition of the load. A sudden drop of the object is prevented, and at the same time, unnecessary vibration is not added to the vehicle body, thereby reducing operability and damage to the vehicle body.
In addition, by automatically vibrating the loading platform 1 at an appropriate timing as in the present embodiment, there is no need to temporarily stop the tilting loading platform 1 or to set the speed at which the loading platform 1 tilts low, The time required for earth discharge work can be shortened, and work efficiency can be improved.

The difference from the first embodiment is only the installation location, type and number of vibration applying devices, and the control processing for starting and stopping the vibration applying device 15 and the effects thereof are the same as those of the first embodiment. Therefore, the description is omitted.

<Others>
In the first to fifth embodiments described above, the control processing for starting / stopping the driving of the vibration applying device has been described using an example in which the mode switch 22 selects the AUTO mode, the ON mode, and the OFF mode. The control mode for starting / stopping the driving of the vibration applying device and the number thereof are not limited to this, and the following control method can be used.

For example, when the controller is operating the loading platform 1, the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1 with respect to the vehicle body frame 2 exceeds a predetermined undulation angle θa, and the pressure P in the bottom side oil chamber of the hoist cylinder 3 is a predetermined pressure. When the pressure exceeds Pa, it is determined that there is a high possibility that earth and sand loaded on the loading platform 1 will slip down on the loading platform 1, and the vibration adding device 11 is started to drive. This is a case having only the first control for stopping the drive of the vibration applying device 11 when becomes a predetermined angle or a predetermined pressure or less.
Further, in addition to the first control described above, the controller adds the vibration adding device 11 when the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1 with respect to the vehicle body frame 2 exceeds a predetermined undulation angle θa based only on the undulation angle θ of the loading platform 1. This is a case having two types of modes of the second control in which the driving is started and the driving of the vibration applying device 11 is stopped when the undulation angle θ becomes equal to or smaller than a predetermined angle.
In both of these cases, the vibration is added more slowly during the lift of the loading platform depending on the condition of the load, compared with the case where the loading platform is vibrated by the operator's operation. Thus, a sudden drop of the loaded object is prevented, and at the same time, unnecessary vibration is not added to the vehicle body, so that damage to the vehicle body can be reduced, and deterioration in operability can also be reduced.

  In addition to the above-described automatic control, the start and stop of the vibration adding device 11 may be manually performed by an operator. For example, an operation switch may be provided separately, and the drive of the vibration applying device 11 may be started / stopped by turning it on. Thereby, the operator can add vibration to the loading platform 1 at an arbitrary position during the raising / lowering operation of the loading platform 1.

  Furthermore, in the above description, as an application target of the present invention, a mining dump truck in which a loading platform is supported on a tire-type vehicle body having front wheels and rear wheels has been described as an example. Of course, the present invention is applicable to general vehicles and other transport vehicles. For example, the present invention can be applied to a transport vehicle in which a loading platform is supported on a crawler-type vehicle body.
