Problems solved by technology

For example, an alert generated using the method of the '810 publication may not have sufficient time to communicate wear information to an operator to plan for the possibility of changing teeth before critical wear
Furthermore, using the methods of the '810 publication may not be effective or convenient for users who regularly engage multiple machines and require beneficial analysis tools

Embodiment Construction

[0018] figure 1 An exemplary embodiment of machine 10 is shown in . Machine 10 may be, for example, an excavator, a wheel or track loader, a mining shovel, a backhoe loader, or any other type of machine known in the art. As an excavator, machine 10 may include a power source 12 (eg, an engine, electric motor, battery pack, etc.) mounted to a frame 14 and configured to drive one or more traction devices 16 for propelling machine 10 across a job site. Traction devices 16 may be mounted or movably coupled to frame 14 and may include, for example, tracks, wheels, and / or combinations thereof. Frame 14 may also support an operator station 18 configured to accommodate, for example, an operator's seat and one or more machine controls for controlling various functions of machine 10 .

[0019] As an excavator, machine 10 may also include a linkage system 20 and a work tool 22 connected to linkage system 20 . Linkage system 20 may include a boom 24 pivotally connected to frame 14 , a ...

Abstract

A tool erosion detecting system (40) for a machine (10) having a ground engaging tool (38) is disclosed. The tool erosion detecting system may include a camera (48) configured to generate a first image (64) of the ground engaging tool on a display device (44), an input device (46) configured to receive a user input, and a controller (52) in communication with the camera and the input device. The controller may be configured to generate an augmented reality view (60) of the ground engaging tool. The augmented reality view may include the first image (64) of the ground engaging tool generated bythe camera and a second image (66) of a ground engaging tool superimposed on the first image and being associated with a selected wear level, wherein the selected wear level is based on the user input.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to tool erosion detection systems, and more particularly, to a tool erosion detection system using augmented reality. Background technique [0002] Mobile machines, such as excavators, wheel and track loaders, mining shovels, backhoe loaders, and / or other machines, have a tool system that includes a linkage system driven by hydraulic actuators and connected to Work tools for linkage systems. Some work tools, such as buckets, include multiple "tips" that are attached to the edge of the bucket for breaking through various types of material such as soil, rock, aggregate piles, demolition debris and / or other types of materials. Different types of tips are often designed and used to perform specific tasks or to break through specific types of materials. Over time, work tool tips wear from use, which can cause the tip to become dull, shorten in length, and produce more rounded features. Worn tips are typically rep...
