ACTUAL MACHINE STATE MONITORING SYSTEM AND ACTUAL MACHINE STATE MONITORING METHOD
A system capable of improving accuracy of information relating to the degree of instability of a work machine such as an excavator, the information being provided to an operator of the work machine. Instability degree information, which indicates instability degrees Is1, Is2 of a base body (lower traveling body 410 and upper turning body 420) for which instability values have been assessed as continuous variables, is output to a remote image output device 221 (information output device) such that the form of the output varies continuously depending on continuous changes in the instability degrees Is1, Is2. An operator of a work machine 40 can highly accurately recognize the closeness of the current instability degree of the base body to a threshold value at which the base body becomes unstable, and consequently a tolerable range in which the work mechanism, etc. are operated while avoiding instability of the base body.
SHOVEL MANAGEMENT DEVICE, SHOVEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, SHOVEL SUPPORT DEVICE, AND SHOVEL
A shovel management device includes a training part to determine a relationship between operation data of the shovel and an abnormality of the shovel by using, as training data, a data set that includes, among the operation data indicating the operation of the shovel, the operation data corresponding to a period for determining a presence or absence of the abnormality of the shovel as an input and information indicating the absence of the abnormality as an output.
Work machine
When a machine-control ON/OFF switch is switched to the ON position, a controller outputs either a first control signal generated by an operation lever or a second control signal that operates a boom cylinder in accordance with a predetermined condition; when the ON/OFF switch is switched to the OFF position, the controller outputs the first control signal; when a control signal has been switched from one of the first control signal and the second control signal to the other control signal by the operation of the ON/OFF switch, the controller applies a rate limit to the control signal, and controls the boom cylinder on the basis of the control signal obtained after the limitation.
Heavy equipment boom system and method and hydraulic circuit therefor
A boom system including a hoist boom pivoted to a machine base; a stick boom having a proximal end pivoted to the hoist boom and a distal end configured to carry a working tool; at least one hydraulic hoist cylinder mounted between the machine base and the hoist boom; a first stick cylinder mounted between the hoist boom and the stick boom; a second stick cylinder mounted similarly and mechanically linked with the first stick cylinder; and a hydraulic circuit for supplying hydraulic fluid to the hoist cylinder and stick cylinders, wherein the hydraulic circuit includes a hydraulic conduit line connecting a base end of the at least one hoist cylinder with a base end of the second stick cylinder to allow hydraulic fluid to shunt between the base ends of the hoist cylinder and the second stick cylinder.
Excavator and method of controlling the same
An attachment is attached to an upper turning body. During a normal operation, a drive means drives the attachment according to an input of an operator to a manipulation device. A sensor detects a motion of an excavator. Based on an output of the sensor, the slip suppression unit detects slip of a traveling body in an extension direction of the attachment and corrects an operation of the attachment performed by the drive means.
WORK MACHINE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR WORK MACHINE
The hydraulic excavator includes a vehicle body, a work implement , a display section, a detection section , and a display control section. The vehicle body includes a driver’s seat . The work implement is attached to the vehicle body and operates with respect to the vehicle body. The display section is provided on the work implement. The detection section detects an object in a region on a side opposite to the driver’s seat with respect to the work implement around the vehicle body. The display control section displays the information detected by the detection section on the display section.
Anticipatory modification of machine settings based on predicted operational state transition
Methods and systems for adjusting operating parameters of a machine in anticipation of a transition from a current operational state to a predicted subsequent operational state. An electronic controller receives a data stream indicative of actuator settings, sensor outputs, and/or operator control settings and applies a pattern detection AI that is configured to determine a current operational state of the machine based on patterns detected in the data stream. The controller then applies a reinforcement learning AI that is configured to produce as an output one or more target operating parameters based at least in part on a predicted subsequent operational state of the machine. The one or more target operating parameters are applied to the machine and at least one performance metric of the machine is monitored. The reinforcement learning Ai is retrained based at least in part on the monitored performance metric(s).
Hydraulic system of construction machine
A hydraulic system of a construction machine includes: control valves interposed between a variable displacement main pump and hydraulic actuators; and first solenoid proportional valves connected to pilot ports of the control valves. The hydraulic system further includes: a regulator that changes a displacement of the main pump; and a second solenoid proportional valve connected to an auxiliary pump by a primary pressure line, the second solenoid proportional valve outputting a secondary pressure to the regulator through a secondary pressure line. A switching valve is interposed between the auxiliary pump and the first solenoid proportional valves, and includes a pilot port that is connected to the secondary pressure line by a pilot line.
ROTARY CONSTRUCTION MACHINE
A confluence control part of a slewing-type construction machine controls a confluence switch valve such that the confluence switch valve is switched to a suspension state when a slewing and boom raising manipulation action is performed. A pump capacity control part of the slewing-type construction machine executes a capacity control when the slewing and boom raising manipulation action is performed, the capacity control including regulating a first pump capacity and a second pump capacity respectively in such a manner that the first pump capacity increases and the second pump capacity decreases as an operating pressure difference resulting from the subtraction of a slewing operating pressure from a boom operating pressure increases, and the first pump capacity decreases and the second pump capacity increases as the operating pressure difference decreases.
METHOD OF ESTIMATING MOMENT OF WORK IMPLEMENT
A first payload computation value which represents a weight of loads loaded on the work implement in a first attitude is obtained. The first attitude and a second attitude are equal to each other in ratio between a horizontal distance from a position of a center of gravity of a first link member to a base end of the first link member and a horizontal distance from a position of the center of gravity of the loads loaded on the work implement to the base end. A second payload computation value which represents a weight of loads loaded on the work implement in the second attitude is obtained. When the first payload computation value and the second payload computation value are determined as being different from each other, a weight of a second link member is changed and processing above is repeated.
