[0060] Network communication system 300;

[0061] The control unit is arranged above the driving console 100. The control unit is electrically connected to the display system and the network communication system 300 respectively. The control unit is used to realize remote data interaction with the operating equipment through the network communication system 300.

[0062] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the driving console 100 is a rectangular table-shaped structure, which supports and carries the display system and control unit arranged above the driving console 100. Three drawer-type storage structures 110 are provided at the lower left side. Correspondingly, the display system includes three display screens 210. The three display screens 210 constitute a connected screen structure, which can display different operating information of the operating equipment in all directions. In addition to accommodating the three display screens 210, the three drawer-type storage structures 110 can also accommodate some disassembled parts. The cockpit is also provided with a network communication system 300 for data exchange with the operating equipment. The network communication system 300 can not only receive images, working conditions and other information from the operating equipment, but also send corresponding operation command information to the operating equipment.

[0063] It should be noted that the information displayed on the three display screens 210 from left to right is as follows: the left display area displays 120° of spatial visual information of the left rear area of the operating equipment and the operating condition information of the operating equipment transmitted by the network communication system 300; the middle display area displays 120° of spatial visual information of the front area of the operating equipment and the status information of the operating equipment transmitted by the network communication system 300; and the right display area displays 120° of spatial visual information of the right rear area of the operating equipment and the control command information of the operating equipment transmitted by the network communication system 300. However, this embodiment does not limit the number of display screens 210 and corresponding drawer-type storage structures 110, and they can be set reasonably.

[0070] Multiple indicator lights 430 are located between the travel handle 410 and the operating handle 420. The multiple indicator lights 430 are used to indicate the working status of the multiple display screens 210.

[0071] The controller is electrically connected to the driving handle 410 , the operating handle 420 , the plurality of indicator lights 430 , the display system, and the network communication system 300 .

[0072] The travel handle 410 is located on the far left side above the operating console 100 and is used to control the chassis travel of the working equipment, including controlling travel speed and direction. The control handle 420 is located on the far right side above the operating console 100 and is used to control the operating status of the working equipment. Three indicator lights 430 are located between the travel handle 410 and the control handle 420, close to the control handle 420. The three indicator lights 430 indicate whether the three display screens 210 are operating normally.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 As shown, the cockpit further includes a battery unit 500. The battery unit 500 is used to power various components such as the display system, the network communication system 300, and the control unit. The battery unit 500 is detachable, replaceable, and rechargeable for repeated use.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 As shown, a storage cavity 120 is further provided inside the driving console 100.

[0079] The operation instruction is sent to the operating equipment through the network communication system 300, so that the operating equipment performs the operation according to the operation instruction.

[0080] First, it is necessary to obtain environmental information about the working equipment's location. This information includes image information of multiple fields of view centered around the working equipment. This information is then remotely transmitted to the network communication system 300, and the received multiple images are displayed one by one on the corresponding display screen 210. Based on the displayed image information, the working equipment's next operation is determined. Then, in response to the user's operation of the operating unit based on the image information, an operation instruction is generated. Finally, the operation instruction is sent to the working equipment via the network communication system 300, causing the working equipment to complete the corresponding operation according to the operation instruction, thereby completing the entire process control.

[0081] Since the cockpit control method is applied to the cockpit described in the first aspect, it has at least all the beneficial effects of the cockpit and will not be described in detail here.

[0085] After receiving image information from multiple different fields of view, the network communication system 300 can construct a three-dimensional scene image of the working environment based on the multiple image information, presenting the working scene more realistically and three-dimensionally, assisting workers to reduce erroneous operations and improve work safety.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, operation information is obtained, and the operation information includes at least operation environment information, operation equipment status information, and operation equipment working condition information;

[0087] Perform protection calculations based on operation information to obtain protection calculation results;

[0088] Adjust the operating behavior of the operating equipment based on the protection calculation results.

[0089] The protection calculation involves constructing a 3D image of the work environment. It then identifies people, animals, equipment, and facilities within a certain radius centered on the work equipment and marks them as obstacles. The 3D image is then reconstructed to calibrate the relative spatial relationship between the obstacles and the work equipment. The intersection between the obstacles and the work equipment is predicted to generate a protection calculation result. Based on this result, the equipment's operating behavior is adjusted to achieve the desired protection effect. The radius can be set from 10 to 80 meters.

[0090] It should be noted that the state of the operating equipment includes the three-dimensional spatial position of the operating equipment, the three-dimensional spatial movement speed of the operating equipment and the operating parts, the three-dimensional spatial acceleration, and the three-dimensional spatial rotation degree.

[0091] The operating conditions of the operating equipment include: operating equipment standby state, walking non-operating state, non-walking operating state, and walking operating state.

[0092] A cockpit control device according to an embodiment of a third aspect of the present invention includes:

[0093] Communication function module, used to obtain image information of multiple fields of view transmitted remotely by operating equipment;

[0094] An image information display module is used to display multiple image information on multiple display screens in a one-to-one correspondence;

[0096] The wireless transmission module is used to send the operation instructions to the operating equipment through the network communication system 300, so that the operating equipment performs the operation according to the operation instructions.

[0097] Since the cockpit control device is applied to the cockpit described in the first aspect, it has at least all the beneficial effects of the cockpit, which will not be described in detail here.

[0098] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
