Abstract

An agricultural working machine with a seat for an operator of the agricultural working machine, with a monitor for displaying data, such as operating data of the agricultural working machine, and/or an attachment of the agricultural working machine, and with an adjustable holding device that holds the monitor. The adjustable holding device enables adjustment of the height, tilt, and distance of the monitor relative to the seat.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An agricultural working machine comprising:
a seat for an operator of the agricultural working machine;
a monitor configured to display operating data of the agricultural working machine or of an attachment of the agricultural working machine; and
an adjustable holding device configured to hold the monitor and adjust height, tilt and distance of the monitor relative to the seat;
wherein the holding device includes a first pivoting joint for pivoting the monitor relative to the seat about a substantially vertical pivot axis;
wherein the holding device includes a second pivoting joint for pivoting the monitor about a substantially horizontal pivot axis; and
wherein the holding device includes a linear unit for adjusting height of the monitor translationally along a linear axis so that the monitor is adjusted from a first position into a second position that differs in height from the first position and in which the monitor is displaced parallel to the first position.

2. The agricultural working machine of claim 1 , wherein the monitor comprises a touchscreen monitor through which operating data of the agricultural working machine or an attachment of the agricultural working machine is adjusted or retrieved.

3. The agricultural working machine of claim 1 , wherein the holding device is single-handedly adjustable.

4. The agricultural working machine of claim 1 , wherein the seat includes a damping element configured to cushion ground unevenness; and
wherein the holding device is fastened to the seat vertically above the damping element relative to a ground of the agricultural work machine.

5. The agricultural working machine of claim 1 , wherein the seat has an armrest; and
wherein the holding device is fastened to the armrest.

6. The agricultural working machine of claim 1 , wherein the seat has an armrest;
wherein the armrest is adjustable in at least one of horizontally or vertically; and
wherein the monitor is adjustable separate from the armrest.

7. The agricultural working machine of claim 1 , wherein the monitor is mounted on springs of the linear unit that reduce movement of the monitor.

8. The agricultural working machine of claim 1 , wherein the holding device further comprises a ball joint configured to adjust the tilt of the monitor relative to the seat.

9. The agricultural working machine of claim 8 , wherein at least one of the first pivoting joint, the second pivoting joint, or the ball joint is configured to hold the monitor in its position relative to the seat in a friction lock while the agricultural working machine is operating.

10. The agricultural working machine of claim 8 , wherein each of the first pivoting joint, the second pivoting joint, and the ball joint has a respective adjusting element; and
wherein each of the first pivoting joint, the second pivoting joint, and the ball joint is adjustable without removing the respective adjusting element.

11. The agricultural working machine of claim 8 , wherein each of the first pivoting joint, the second pivoting joint, and the ball joint has a respective adjusting element; and
wherein friction in at least one of the first pivoting joint, the second pivoting joint, or the ball joint is adjusted by the respective adjusting element.

12. An agricultural working machine comprising:
a seat for an operator of the agricultural working machine;
a monitor configured to display operating data of the agricultural working machine or of an attachment of the agricultural working machine; and
an adjustable holding device configured to hold the monitor and adjust height, tilt and distance of the monitor relative to the seat;
wherein the holding device is configured to adjust the monitor from a first position to a second position, the second position being different in height from the first position and shifted parallel to the first position; and
wherein the holding device comprises a linear unit, the linear unit configured to adjust the height of the monitor in a translatory manner along a linear axis.

13. The agricultural working machine of claim 12 , wherein the linear unit includes a lever for locking and unlocking the linear unit; and
wherein the lever is configured for single-handed activation in order to unlock the linear unit.

14. An agricultural working machine comprising:
a seat for an operator of the agricultural working machine, wherein the seat has a fixed part and an adjustable part, the adjustable part positioned vertically, relative to a ground of the agricultural work machine, above the fixed part;
a monitor configured to display operating data of the agricultural working machine or of an attachment of the agricultural working machine; and
an adjustable holding device configured to hold the monitor and adjust height, tilt and distance of the monitor relative to the seat, wherein the holding device comprises a first pivoting joint configured to pivot the monitor, wherein the holding device comprises a first pivoting joint configured to pivot the monitor about a substantially vertical pivot axis;
wherein the adjustable part is adjustable on one or more adjusting rails; and
wherein the first pivoting joint is arranged in a region of the one or more adjusting rails on at least one of the fixed part or the adjustable part of the seat.

15. The agricultural working machine of claim 14 , wherein the first pivoting joint is arranged in the region of the one or more adjusting rails on the adjustable part of the seat such that the first pivoting joint is configured to move forward and backward relative to the seat via the one or more adjusting rails.

16. The agricultural working machine of claim 15 , wherein the holding device further comprises a second pivoting joint configured to pivot the monitor about a substantially horizontal pivot axis.

17. The agricultural working machine of claim 16 , wherein the holding device further comprises a ball joint configured to adjust the tilt of the monitor relative to the seat.

18. The agricultural working machine of claim 17 , wherein each of the first pivoting joint, the second pivoting joint, and the ball joint are configured to hold the monitor in its position relative to the seat in a friction lock while the agricultural working machine is operating.
