Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0004] With the recent relaxation of regulations, if certain requirements are met, it has become possible to drive on a public road with an agricultural work machine (agricultural implement) attached to a traveling body such as a tractor. However, the combination of the type (model) of the traveling body and the type (model) of the agricultural work machine is various, and the requirements that must be satisfied differ depending on the combination of the traveling body and the agricultural work machine. For example, when an agricultural work machine is attached to a traveling body, if the visibility of the lighting devices of the traveling body can be sufficiently ensured when viewed from the rear, it is only necessary to control the lighting devices of the traveling body in the same manner as when the traveling body travels alone. However, when the agricultural work machine overlaps the lighting devices of the traveling body and a predetermined visibility is ensured If it is not possible, in addition to the lighting devices of the traveling machine body, the lighting devices of the agricultural work machine should be lit as well. It is necessary to control the traveling machine body and the agricultural work machine so that they can move. Also, the upper limit value of the vehicle speed that can be driven on public roads is defined based on the static turning angle when the agricultural work machine is mounted on the traveling machine body. If the static turning angle is 30° or more, the speed is 35 km / h, and if the static turning angle is less than 30°, the speed is 15 km / h. As described above, the conditions vary depending on the combination of the traveling machine body and the agricultural work machine.
[0005] Conventional agricultural work machines perform control regardless of the traveling machine body and do not change the control of lighting devices, etc., in accordance with the corresponding traveling machine body. Therefore, in order to mount a conventional agricultural work machine on a traveling machine body and drive on public roads, the operator must individually set the control conditions for the traveling machine body and the agricultural work machine, including lighting devices, etc., according to the combination of the type of the traveling machine body and the type of the agricultural work machine, so that the work is complicated. In particular, when the operator has a plurality of traveling machine bodies and agricultural work machines, it is necessary to grasp the control conditions corresponding to each combination and perform control according to the combination, which causes a problem of increasing the burden on the operator.
[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an agricultural work machine, an information processing device, and a program that can automatically read control conditions corresponding to the combination of the type of the traveling machine body and the type of the agricultural work machine.

The matching table 300 includes first unique information 310, regulation information 320, and control information It has 330. Note that the matching table 300 shown here is a matching table dedicated to the agricultural work machine 200, so it does not specifically store the second unique information for identifying the model of the agricultural work machine 200. Since it is a dedicated matching table for the agricultural work machine 200, it does not specifically store the second unique information for identifying the model of the agricultural work machine 200. It does not specifically store the second unique information for identifying the model of the agricultural work machine 200.

It has items of the lighting device 321, the lift arm 323, and the vehicle speed 325.
[0042] The item of the lighting device 321 is, for example, an item indicating whether it is necessary (''necessary'' or ''unnecessary'') to regulate the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 depending on whether all or part of the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 are hidden by the agricultural work machine 200 when viewed from the rear. Here, ''unnecessary'' means that the control of the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 is normal (i.e., the same as when the agricultural work machine 200 is not attached), and ''necessary'' means that due to the attachment of the agricultural work machine 200, different control from the normal of the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 is required. For example, if the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 are completely visible when viewed from the rear, it is ''unnecessary''; if the traveling body 10 The item of the lighting device 321 is, for example, an item indicating whether it is necessary (''necessary'' or ''unnecessary'') to regulate the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 depending on whether all or part of the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 are hidden by the agricultural work machine 200 when viewed from the rear.

Here, ''unnecessary'' means that the control of the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 is normal (i.e., the same as when the agricultural work machine 200 is not attached), and ''necessary'' means that due to the attachment of the agricultural work machine 200, different control from the normal of the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 is required.

Here, ''unnecessary'' means that the control of the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 is normal (i.e., the same as when the agricultural work machine 200 is not attached), and ''necessary'' means that due to the attachment of the agricultural work machine 200, different control from the normal of the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 is required. For example, if the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 are completely visible when viewed from the rear, it is ''unnecessary''; if the traveling body 10 If all or part of the lighting devices are hidden by the agricultural work machine 200, it is "required". Note that a plurality of lighting devices are provided on the traveling body 100, and the necessity of regulation may be set separately for each lighting device.
[0043] The item of the lift arm 323 indicates whether it is necessary to regulate the movable range of the lift arm of the traveling body 100 when the agricultural work machine 200 interferes with the traveling body 100 or other members, or when it may come into contact due to vibration, impact, etc. at a very close distance. In addition to the above cases, when it is determined that it is necessary to regulate the movable range of the lift arm in consideration of the balance of the agricultural work machine 200 (for example, the static tipping angle), etc., the item of the lift arm 323 becomes "required".
[0044] The item of the vehicle speed 325 indicates the upper limit of the speed at which the traveling body 100 can travel when the agricultural work machine 200 is attached to the traveling body 100. When traveling on a public road, the vehicle speed of the traveling body 100 is restricted based on the static tipping angle when the agricultural work machine 200 is mounted. For example, when the static tipping angle when the agricultural work machine 200 is mounted on the traveling body 100 is 30° or more, the speed limit is 35 km / h, and when the static tipping angle is less than 30°, the speed limit is 15 km / h. Therefore, in the item of the vehicle speed 325, the upper limit of the speed at which the traveling body 100 can travel is set for each model of the traveling body 100 based on the static tipping angle when the own machine is mounted.
[0045] The control information 330 includes specific control contents for the traveling body 100 and the agricultural work machine 200. It is specified. In the first row of the matching table 300 (first unique information 310: AAA001) Since the item of the lighting device 321 is "unnecessary", nothing is specified in the item of the lighting device 331 That is, the control of the lighting devices of the traveling aircraft 100 is carried out as usual (that is, the same as when the agricultural working machine 200 is not attached), and the lighting devices of the agricultural working machine 200 do not operate. On the other hand, in the second row (first unique information 310: AAA002) and the third row (first unique information 310: BBB001) of the matching table 300, since the item of the lighting device 321 is "necessary" specific control content (lighting device control information) is specified in the item of the lighting device 331 as (travel: OFF, work : ON). (Travel: OFF, work: ON) indicates that the lighting devices of the traveling aircraft 100 are turned off (travel: OFF), and the lighting devices of the agricultural working machine 200 are turned on (work: ON). Note that it is also possible to specify in the matching table 300 to turn on the lighting devices of both the traveling aircraft 100 and the agricultural working machine 200 (travel: ON, work : ON). Also, regarding the lighting devices of the traveling aircraft 100, regardless of whether the agricultural working machine 200 is attached or not, normal control is carried out, and it may be specified in the matching table 300 to control only the lighting devices of the agricultural working machine 200, and regarding how to control the lighting devices of the traveling aircraft 100 and the agricultural working machine 200 it may be appropriately set according to the actual situation such as the regulatory content.
[0046] In the item of the lift arm 333, as the aircraft control information (lift arm control information), the specific movable range of the lift arm of the traveling aircraft 100 is specified. In the first row and the third row (AAA001 and BBB001) of the matching table 3 00, the lift arm 323 Since the item is "unnecessary", nothing is specified for the lift arm 333 item. That is, The movable range of the lift arm of the traveling body 100 is a range specific to the traveling body 100, and in particular no additional restrictions are imposed. On the other hand, in the second row (AAA 002) of the matching table 300, since the item of the lift arm 323 is "required", lift arm control information is specified for the lift arm 333 item. In this example, since the lift arm control information is specified as " 30 to 70 degrees", the traveling body 100 that has received this lift arm control information is controlled by the lift arm control means 155 so that the lift arm angle becomes 30 to 70 degrees. Note that the movable range specified in the item of the lift arm 333 is narrower than the range specific to the traveling body 1 00.
[0047] Note that the visibility of the lighting devices and the confirmation of the stationary turning angle are both performed with the minimum ground height of the agricultural work machine 200 being 20 cm, and the minimum ground height of the agricultural work machine 200 is maintained at 20 cm even during road travel. Therefore, in the item of the lift arm 333, the angle of the lift arm when the minimum ground height of each agricultural work machine 200 is 2 0 cm is also stored as lift arm control information. For example, when the minimum ground height of the agricultural work machine 200 is 20 cm, the angle of the lift arm is 30 degrees in AAA00 1 and 35 degrees in AAA002. Then, the traveling body 100 controls the angle of the lift arm based on the lift arm angle information included in the lift arm control information triggered by the operation of the operator, and controls so that the agricultural work machine 200 (with the minimum ground height) becomes 20 cm in height. In this way, since the angle of the lift arm at which the agricultural work machine 200 reaches a predetermined height (minimum ground height) is set in the matching table 300, the operator can avoid complicated operations. It becomes possible to set the agricultural work machine 200 to a predetermined height without any operation. Note that the agricultural work machine 20 The angle information of the lift arm at which 0 reaches the predetermined height may be preset as default values for each first unique information, but it may also be configured to be added or updated by the operator's operation. This is also possible.
[0048] In the item of vehicle speed 335, as the machine body control information, the vehicle speed control information transmitted to the mounted traveling machine body 100 is set. Here, the upper limit traveling speed of the traveling machine body 100 is included, and information for controlling the traveling machine body 100 so as not to exceed the specified upper limit traveling speed is defined. It is defined.
[0049] In the item of notification 337, notification control information for causing the notification means 240 to notify the content of the regulation information 320 and the upper limit value of the vehicle speed of the mounted traveling machine body 100 is defined. In this embodiment, information regarding the upper limit speed of the traveling speed of the traveling machine body 100 and the overall width of the traveling machine body 100 with the work machine mounted, for display on the display panel for the vehicle behind, is defined. Also, information regarding the overall width of the traveling machine body 100 with the work machine mounted is defined. In addition, in the item of notification 337, information for causing the operation terminal (remote control) to display the regulation information 320 or to notify it by voice is also defined.
[0050] Note that, among the control information 330, for the vehicle speed 335, it is also possible to determine whether to transmit the information to the traveling machine body 100 according to the operator's setting. For example, when the operator sets it to "ON", the setting of the vehicle speed 335 is set to "ON" and the control information of the vehicle speed 335 is transmitted to the traveling machine body 100, and when the operator sets it to "OFF", the setting of the vehicle speed 335 is set to "OFF" and the control information of the vehicle speed 335 is not transmitted to the traveling machine body 100. Traveling machine When the upper limit traveling speed of the body 100 is limited to a predetermined speed or less (in this embodiment, 15 km / h), the setting of the vehicle speed 335 is set to "ON" as the default value. Similarly whether or not to perform notification by the notification means 240 may also be determined based on the "ON" / "OFF" switching by the operator. The control means 255 is a means for controlling the traveling body 100 and the agricultural work machine 200. It extracts the control information 330 corresponding to the first unique information 310 received by the first receiving means 251 from the above-mentioned matching table 300 and performs control on each means of the agricultural work machine 200. At the same time
[0051] it transmits the machine control information included in the control information 330 to the traveling body 100 so that the traveling body 100 can perform control based on the machine control information. As shown in FIG. 2 the control means 255 has a lighting device control means 2551, a notification control means 2553, and a traveling machine body control means 2555. The lighting device control means 2551 controls the lighting and extinguishing of the lighting devices (for example, the lighting device 230) of the agricultural work machine 200 based on the lighting device control information defined in the matching table 300. For example, when nothing is defined in the lighting device control information the lighting device control means 2551 controls so that the lighting devices of the agricultural work machine 200 are in the extinguished state. When the lighting device control information is "travel: OFF, work: ON" or "travel: ON, work: ON", it controls so that the lighting devices of the agricultural work machine 200 are lit.
[0052] The notification control means 2553 controls the notification means based on the notification control information included in the control information 330. For example, when nothing is defined in the lighting device control information, the lighting device control means 2551 controls so that the lighting devices of the agricultural work machine 200 are in the extinguished state. When the lighting device control information is "travel: OFF, work: ON" or "travel: ON, work: ON", it controls so that the lighting devices of the agricultural work machine 200 are lit. When there is no defined lighting device control information, the lighting device control means 2551 controls to make the lighting devices of the agricultural work machine 200 in the extinguished state. When the lighting device control information is "travel: OFF, work: ON" or "travel: ON, work: ON", it controls to make the lighting devices of the agricultural work machine 200 lit. When the lighting device control information is "travel: OFF, work: ON" or "travel: ON, work: ON", it controls so that the lighting devices of the agricultural work machine 200 are lit.
[0053] The notification control means 2553 controls the notification means based on the notification control information included in the control information 330. Control 240 and cause the notification means 240 to notify the vehicle width and the upper limit traveling speed of the traveling body 100 with the agricultural work machine 200 attached thereto. Taking FIG. 5 as an example, when the first specific information is AAA001, the upper limit traveling speed of the traveling body 100 is "35 km / h" and the full width information is "2.6 m". is set. Therefore, based on this control information, the notification control means 2553 controls the display panel for the following vehicle and causes it to display the content "Full width 2.6 m" and the content "Operating speed 35 km / h or less". Note that in the item of the notification 337, information regarding the size and color of the characters to be displayed is also defined as control information.
[0054] Also, the notification control means 2553 controls the operation terminal (remote control) based on the information set in the item of the notification 337, and causes the operation terminal to display the restriction information 320 or to perform voice notification. In this embodiment, the restriction information 320 is notified based on the operation of the operator. The notification control means 2553 performs control on the operation terminal triggered by the operation of the operator, and causes the operation terminal to display or perform voice notification of the restriction information 320 based on the control information set in the item of the notification 337.
[0055] The traveling body control means 2555 transmits the lighting device control information, the vehicle speed control information, and the lift arm control information included in the above control information 330 to the traveling body 100 as the airframe control information. For example, when performing control based on the control information in which the first specific information is extracted as "AAA002", since the item of the lighting device 331 is "Run: OFF, Work: ON", the traveling body control means 2555 turns off or turns off the lighting devices of the traveling body 100 for the traveling body 100. The control information is transmitted to the traveling body 100. Also, in the item of the lift arm 333, since the lift arm control information is set to 30 to 70 degrees, the traveling body control means 2555 transmits the information to the traveling body 100. Further, the traveling body control means 2555 transmits the speed control information indicating that the upper limit traveling speed is 15 km / h, which is set in the item of the vehicle speed 3 35, to the traveling body 100.
[0056] [Operation flow of mutual communication between the traveling body 100 and the agricultural work machine 200] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an operation flow of a control method for an agricultural work machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. The following operations are executed when the agricultural work machine 200 recognizes that it is attached to the traveling body 100. For example, it is executed triggered by the connection of the AG-PОRT. In the following description in, the communication between the traveling body 100 and the agricultural work machine 200 is performed by the ECUs 101 and 10 2 respectively executing programs stored in their respective storage devices (see FIG. 1).
[0057] First, when the agricultural work machine 200 recognizes that it is attached to the traveling body 100, the agricultural work machine 2 00 transmits a first connection start request signal to the traveling body 100 (S201). The traveling body 100 permits the first connection start request signal (S101) and transmits a second connection request signal to the agricultural work machine 200 (S102). Then, when the agricultural work machine 200 permits the second connection start request signal (S202), the mutual communication between the two is established (S301). Note that the first connection start request signal may be transmitted from the traveling body 100 to the agricultural work machine 200, and the second connection start request signal may be transmitted from the agricultural work machine 200 to the traveling body 100.
[0058] When communication is established between the traveling body 100 and the agricultural work machine 200, the agricultural work machine 200 requests the first unique information 310, which is the unique information of the traveling body 100, from the traveling body 1 00 (S20 3). In response to this request, the traveling body 100 transmits the first unique information 310 to the agricultural work machine 200 (S103). When the agricultural work machine 200 receives the first unique information 3 10 transmitted from the traveling body 100 (S204), based on the matching table 300 stored in the table storage means 253 (S205), it derives the control information 330 for controlling the operation of the agricultural work machine 20 0 that is associated with the first unique information 310 (S206). For example, if the first unique information 310 received in S204 is "AAA002", through unique information matching, the control information 330 corresponding to the first unique information 310 "AAA002" is obtained from the matching table 300 ("Lamp item Run: OFF, Work: ON", "Lift arm item 30 - 70 degrees, working machine height is 20 cm, lift arm angle: 35 degrees", "Vehicle speed 15 km / h", "Notification full width : operating speed 15 km / h or less, 2.6 m") is extracted. In this way, searching for the control information 330 associated with the unique information based on the matching table 300 is called unique information matching. Then, the agricultural work machine 200 controls the operation of the agricultural work machine 200 based on the derived control information 330 (S207).
[0059] In FIG. 3, a configuration in which the operation of the agricultural work machine 200 is controlled by the control information 330 derived based on the matching table 300 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example , in addition to the control information for controlling the agricultural work machine 200 through unique information matching (S205), when the machine control information is also derived (S206), as shown in FIG. 4, the derived machine control The information is transmitted to the mobile body 100 (S208). According to this configuration, the mobile body 100 can control the mobile body based on the aircraft control information received from the agricultural work machine 200 (S104), so there is no need for the operator to individually perform the control settings of the mobile body. Note that prior to the aircraft control (S207) for controlling the operation of the agricultural work machine 200, it is also possible to transmit the aircraft control information to the mobile body 100 (S208).
[0060] In the operation flows of FIGS. 3 and 4, an example of a configuration is illustrated in which when the mutual communication between the mobile body 100 and the agricultural work machine 200 is established, the unique information matching is automatically executed (that is, the operation starting from the first unique information request starts), but the configuration is not limited to this. For example, after the above mutual communication is established, an interface for inputting an instruction for executing the unique information matching in the mobile body 100 is displayed (for example, on the remote controller of the agricultural work machine 200), and the first unique information request may be performed using the instruction input by the operator via the interface as a trigger. Or, before S103, in the mobile body 100, the steps after S103 may be performed using as a trigger that an instruction indicating a response to the first unique information request of S203 is input. That is, a step of requesting permission from the operator may be provided between the establishment of the mutual communication in S301 and the unique information matching in S205. Or, the first unique information may be transmitted from the mobile body 100 to the agricultural work machine 200 at the timing when the above mutual communication is established. Also, in FIG. 4, the aircraft control of the agricultural work machine 200 in S207 may be omitted, and the aircraft control information may be transmitted to the mobile body 100.
[0061] Also, in the operation flow of FIG. 4, after transmitting the aircraft control information in S208, the aircraft 10 0 may be provided with a step of requesting the operator's permission for the aircraft control information. That is, the transmission of the aircraft control information in S208 does not forcibly control the operation of the aircraft 100, but may be to notify that it is necessary to perform operation control on the aircraft 100.
[0062] As described above, according to the unique information matching system 10 according to the present embodiment, based on the matching table 300, the control information 330 associated with the first unique information 310 of the aircraft 100 to which the agricultural work machine 200 is attached can be derived, and the control conditions corresponding to the combination of the model of the aircraft 100 and the model of the agricultural work machine 200 can be automatically read.
[0063] Note that, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the agricultural work machine 200 receives the first unique information from the aircraft 100 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the operator may use at least one of the operation terminal provided in the aircraft 100 and the operation terminal capable of communicating with the aircraft 100 and the agricultural work machine 200 to input the first unique information, and the agricultural work machine 200 may receive the first unique information from the operation terminal. Alternatively, the operator may use the operation terminal provided in the agricultural work machine 200 to input the first unique information. That is, the first unique information may be directly input to the agricultural work machine 200.
[0064] <Second Embodiment> The aircraft 100A, the agricultural work machine 200A, and the information processing device 600A according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9.
[0065] [Overall Configuration] FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing an overall configuration including a traveling machine body, an agricultural work machine, and an information processing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the unique information matching system according to the present invention 10A has the agricultural work machine 200A connected to the information processing device 600A via the network 550A continued. The information processing device 600A may be a network server. For example, a pa computer, a notebook PC, a tablet PC, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a PDA, and a PHS and other communicable communication terminals may also be used. The information processing device 600A is connected to a database (DB ) 601A. The information processing device 600A updates the matching table 300A . The database 601A stores the update information of the matching table 300A . The matching table 300A may be a matching table unique to the agricultural work machine 200A , or may be a matching table that is applicable to a plurality of agricultural work machines 200A.
[0066] The network 550A is an Internet such as a general World Wide Web (WWW), a WAN (Wide Area Network), or a corporate internal LAN , or a LAN (Local Area Network). The agricultural work machine 200A communicates with the information processing device 600A via the network 550A.
[0067] In FIG. 6, a configuration in which the database 601A is directly connected to the information processing device 600A is illustrated , but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the database 601A may be directly connected to the network 5 50A, and data transmission and reception between the information processing device 600A and the database 601A may be performed via the network 550A .
[0068] [Functional Configuration of Traveling Body 100A and Agricultural Working Machine 200A] FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of a traveling body and an agricultural working machine according to an embodiment of the present invention which is. The block diagram of FIG. 7 is similar to the block diagram of FIG. 2, but the agricultural working machine 20 0A of FIG. 7 is different from the agricultural working machine 2 of FIG. 2 in that it has an acquisition means 257A and an update means 259A 00. Regarding the agricultural working machine 200A in FIG. 7, the functions common to the agricultural working machine 200 in FIG. 2 will not be described, and mainly the differences will be described. The above functional means are executed by the ECU provided in the agricultural working machine 200A
[0069] The acquisition means 257A acquires update information for updating the matching table 30 0A by communicating with the information processing device 600A.
