Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

It is an object to provide a work vehicle being capable of suppressing an increase in temperature of a liquid crystal display device due to external factors. Regarding a tractor, which is a work vehicle in which a touch panel as a liquid crystal display device is provided in an instrumental panel in a cabin, a discharge opening for air, of which the temperature is adjusted by an air-conditioner unit, is provided on the upper portion of the instrumental panel, and a concave portion is provided in the instrumental panel, and the touch panel is provided on the bottom portion of the concave portion below the discharge opening.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A tractor in which a liquid crystal display device is provided in an instrumental panel in a cabin, wherein the instrumental panel is disposed in the center of the front of the inside of the cabin in a lateral direction, wherein the instrumental panel is formed to be substantially the same as a shape formed by a rear end of an upper surface of a hood, a rear end of an upper left surface of the hood, a rear end of an upper right surface of the hood, a rear end of a left surface of the hood, and a rear end of a right surface of the hood, wherein the instrumental panel is continuously formed in a rear end of the hood flush therewith, wherein an inclined surface is formed in the instrumental panel so as to lower from a connection end with the hood toward a driving operating unit in the cabin, wherein a height of the instrumental panel above ground is lower than a height of the hood above ground, wherein an air conditioning outlet is formed in a substantially rectangular shape whose longitudinal direction is the lateral direction of the cabin at a front end portion of the inclined surface of the instrumental panel which is a position near the connection end with the hood, wherein a concave portion is formed below the air conditioning outlet in the instrumental panel, wherein a touch panel including the liquid crystal display device is disposed in the concave portion of the instrumental panel, and wherein the inclined surface of the instrumental panel is formed so as to face an operator seated in an operating seat. 2. The tractor according to claim 1 , wherein a depth of a bottom portion of the concave portion of the instrumental panel is formed so as to become deeper toward the front in an advancing direction of the tractor.
