Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an assistance system, an assistance method, and an assistance program. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art There is known a technique for determining the weight of a load that can be lifted based on the attitude and position of a lifting machine (crane) and the position of the load (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-194426 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In the conventional technology as described in Patent Document 1, the weight that can be lifted at a specified lifting position is specified on the premise of the specified lifting position, so in order to determine the lifting position, the lifting position must be specified and the lifting of the components that make up the load at the specified position must be judged repeatedly for each position within the assumed lifting range, which requires a great deal of work. In the planning of construction work such as building, there has been a demand to easily specify positions where a lifting machine can be placed and, for example, to make optimal plans by comparing multiple alternative positions.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to easily obtain a position for positioning a lifting machine that can lift all of a group of suspended loads. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] An assistance system according to one embodiment of the present invention is an assistance system that assists in selecting a position for a lifting machine, and includes: a load information acquisition unit that acquires load information regarding a group of loads consisting of one or more components to be lifted, the load information having information on the position and weight of each component; a placement range acquisition unit that acquires a placement range consisting of a set of positions where the lifting machine can be placed; a determination unit that determines whether all components included in the group of loads can be lifted at one placement position within the placement range by referring to rated load information that associates a rated load with a working distance, which is the distance between the position of the lifting machine and the position of the component, and determines that the component can be lifted if the total load when lifting the component, calculated based on the weight of each component, is equal to or less than the rated load associated with the working distance of the component; and an output unit that outputs first liftable position information indicating a first liftable position, which is a placement position determined by the determination unit to be able to lift all components.

[0007] An assistance method according to one embodiment of the present invention is an assistance method in an assistance system that assists in selecting a placement position for a lifting machine, and includes a load information acquisition step of acquiring load information for a group of loads consisting of one or more components to be lifted, the load information having information on the position and weight of each component; a placement range acquisition step of acquiring a placement range consisting of a set of positions where the lifting machine can be placed; a determination step of determining whether all components included in the group of loads can be lifted at one placement position within the placement range by referring to rated load information that associates a rated load with a working distance, which is the distance between the position of the lifting machine and the position of the component, and determining that the component can be lifted if the total load when lifting the component, calculated based on the weight of each component, is equal to or less than the rated load associated with the working distance of the component; and an output step of outputting first lifting possible position information indicating a first lifting possible position, which is the placement position determined in the determination step to be able to lift all components.

[0008] An assistance program according to one embodiment of the present invention is an assistance program for causing a computer to function as an assistance system for assisting in the selection of a placement position for a lifting machine, and realizing in the computer a load information acquisition function for acquiring load information relating to a group of loads consisting of one or more components to be lifted, where the load information has information on the position and weight of each component; a placement range acquisition function for acquiring a placement range consisting of a set of positions where the lifting machine can be placed; a judgment function for determining whether all components included in the load group can be lifted at one placement position within the placement range by referring to rated load information that associates a rated load with a working distance, which is the distance between the position of the lifting machine and the position of the component, and determining that the component can be lifted if the total load when lifting the component, calculated based on the weight of each component, is equal to or less than the rated load associated with the working distance of the component; and an output function for outputting first lifting possible position information indicating a first lifting possible position, which is a placement position determined by the judgment function to be able to lift all components.

[0009] According to the above embodiment, the lifting of the members constituting the load group at each position within the range of the lifting machine is judged, and first lifting possible position information indicating the position where it is judged that all the members can be lifted is output. Therefore, by referring to the first lifting possible position information, it is possible to easily recognize the position of the lifting machine that can lift all the members constituting the load group.

[0010] In another embodiment of the support system, when the determination unit determines that it is not possible to lift all of the components included in the suspended load group at a first placement position within the placement range, the determination unit searches within the placement range for a second placement position at which all of the non-liftable components, which are components determined to be unable to be lifted at the first placement position, can be lifted, and when the determination unit has searched for the second placement position, the output unit may output second liftable position information including information indicating the first placement position, the second placement position, and the non-liftable components.

[0011] According to the above embodiment, when it is determined that it is not possible to lift all of the components at the first arrangement position, a search is made for a second arrangement position where all of the non-liftable components determined to be non-liftable can be lifted, and second liftable position information including the first arrangement position and the second arrangement position is output. Since the lifting machine arranged at two locations, the first arrangement position and the second arrangement position, can lift all of the components constituting the load group, it is possible to easily recognize information on the arrangement position of the lifting machine that enables the lifting of all the components by moving the lifting machine once between the first arrangement position and the second arrangement position.

[0012] In another embodiment of the support system, the output unit may accept a designation of one of the second liftable positions, with the first designation position searched for by the determination unit as the second liftable position, and output the second designation position corresponding to the designated designation in an identifiable manner.

[0013] According to the above embodiment, it is possible to easily recognize a combination of positions for disposing the lifting machine that enables all of the members to be lifted to be lifted by a single movement of the lifting machine.

[0014] In an assistance system according to another aspect, the output unit may be configured to identifiably output an unliftable member that is determined to be unliftable at a specified placement position.

[0015] According to the above embodiment, when all of the components to be lifted are lifted by a single movement of the lifting machine, the components to be lifted can be easily identified at the second arrangement position after movement from the first arrangement position.

[0016] In another embodiment of the support system, the support system may further include a lifting member designation unit that accepts designation of one or more members among the members included in the suspended load group, and the determination unit may designate the member whose designation has been accepted by the lifting member designation unit as the member to be determined as to whether or not it can be lifted.

[0017] According to the above embodiment, it is possible to easily recognize the location of a lifting machine capable of lifting some of the components of a group of suspended loads represented as a BIM model, for example.

[0018] In another embodiment of the support system, the placement range acquisition unit may set placement positions of the lifting machine at a given pitch within the placement range, and the determination unit may determine whether or not it is possible to lift all of the components included in the load group for each of the set placement positions.

[0019] According to the above embodiment, the positions are set at a predetermined pitch within an arbitrarily set range, and it is determined whether the load group can be lifted at each of the set positions. Therefore, the information on the positions at which all components can be lifted within the desired range can be easily recognized.

[0020] In another embodiment of the support system, a lifting machine selection acquisition unit is provided that acquires a selection input of the type of lifting machine, and the determination unit may refer to rated load information associated with the type of lifting machine indicated in the selection input acquired by the lifting machine selection acquisition unit.

[0021] According to the above embodiment, when determining whether each member of the load group can be lifted, the rated load information corresponding to the model of the selected lifting machine is referenced. Therefore, when selecting a lifting machine to be adopted, it is possible to compare and consider multiple types of lifting machines.

[0022] In an assistance system according to another aspect, the output unit may output, in response to a designation of a placement position, liftable member information indicating, in a recognizable manner, a member that can be lifted at the placement position.

[0023] According to the above aspect, by referring to the liftable member information, it is possible to easily recognize the liftable member at the specified placement position. Effect of the Invention

[0024] According to one aspect of the present invention, it is possible to easily obtain a position for positioning the lifting machine that is capable of lifting all of a group of suspended loads. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0026] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or equivalent elements are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicated description will be omitted.

[0027] 1 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the support system and support device according to this embodiment. The support system 1 is a system that supports the selection of a placement position of a lifting machine, and includes a support device 10. The support system 1 may also include storage means such as a BIM model storage unit 20, a suspended load information storage unit 30, and a lifting machine information storage unit 40 that are configured to be accessible from the support device 10.

[0028] Functionally, the support device 10 includes a model information acquisition unit 11 (suspended load information acquisition unit), a placement range acquisition unit 12, a lifting machine selection acquisition unit 13, a rated load information acquisition unit 14, a lifting member designation unit 15, a judgment unit 16 and an output unit 17.

[0029] The BIM model storage unit 20 is a storage means for storing a BIM (Building Information Modeling) model of a building or the like to be constructed. The BIM model is a three-dimensional digital model of a building or the like, and may include attribute data such as cost and management information.

[0030] The suspended load information storage unit 30 is a storage means for storing suspended load information. The suspended load information is information relating to a group of suspended loads consisting of one or more components to be lifted in the construction of a construction target. The suspended load information has at least information on the position and weight of each component. Information indicating the position of a component may be position information in a coordinate system set in the space of the BIM model. The suspended load information may include information indicating the shape of the component and other attribute information.

[0031] The lifting machine information storage unit 40 is a storage means for storing lifting machine information related to selectable lifting machines. The lifting machine information includes rated load information. The rated load information is information defined for each type of lifting machine, and associates the rated load with the working distance, which is the distance between the position of the lifting machine (the rotation center of the boom) and the position of the member to be lifted. An example of the rated load information will be described later with reference to FIG. 5.

[0032] Each of the functional units 11 to 17 included in the support device 10 may be distributed among a plurality of devices. Moreover, each of the functional units 11 to 17 included in the support device 10 is realized by either hardware or software, or any combination thereof.

[0033] Fig. 2 is a hardware configuration diagram of the support device 10. As shown in Fig. 2, the support device 10 is physically configured as a computer system including a CPU 101, a main storage device 102 configured with memories such as RAM and ROM, an auxiliary storage device 103 configured with a hard disk and memory, and a communication control device 104. The support device 10 may further include an input device 105 such as a keyboard, a touch panel, a mouse, etc., which are input devices, and an output device 106 such as a display.

[0034] 1 is realized by loading predetermined computer software onto hardware such as CPU 101 and main memory device 102 shown in Fig. 2, thereby operating communication control device 104 etc. under the control of CPU 101 and reading and writing data in main memory device 102 and auxiliary memory device 103 etc. Data and databases required for processing are stored in main memory device 102 and auxiliary memory device 103.

[0035] 1 again, the functional units of the support device 10 will be described. The model information acquisition unit 11 acquires a BIM model of a building or the like to be constructed. In this embodiment, the model information acquisition unit 11 acquires the BIM model from the BIM model storage unit 20.

[0036] Further, the model information acquisition unit 11 acquires suspended load information. In this embodiment, the model information acquisition unit 11 acquires suspended load information from the suspended load information storage unit 30. Therefore, the model information acquisition unit 11 in this embodiment constitutes a suspended load information acquisition unit. The output unit 17 may display a building or the like to be constructed on a display based on the BIM model. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display screen example bm0 of a three-dimensional model of a construction target drawn based on the BIM model.

[0037] The output unit 17 also displays the load group M based on the load information. As described above, the load information is information about one or more members included in the load group, and includes position information and weight of each member. Therefore, the output unit 17 can draw and display each member in a three-dimensional space in the BIM model. In the example shown in FIG. 3, each member included in the load information is graphically represented, but the load information may be a list in which each member is associated with a position and weight. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the members that make up the load group M are steel frames that make up a building, but are not limited to steel frames as long as they can be lifted.

[0038] The placement range acquisition unit 12 acquires information on the placement range consisting of a set of positions where the lifting machine can be placed. Specifically, the placement range acquisition unit 12 may acquire the placement range based on a range specification input by a user on the BIM model. The placement range acquisition unit 12 may also acquire a placement range that is set in advance in the BIM model. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display screen example bm1 including a placement range R set in a 3D model of a construction target. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the placement range R is set in an area near where the load group M is placed.

[0039] Furthermore, the arrangement range acquisition unit 12 sets the arrangement positions of the lifting machines at a given pitch within the set arrangement range R. The pitch of the arrangement positions can be specified arbitrarily and may be, for example, 1 m. As shown in Fig. 4, the arrangement range acquisition unit 12 sets a plurality of arrangement positions p within the range of the arrangement range R. The determination unit 16 performs a lifting feasibility determination for all of the members to be determined that are included in the load group M, for each of the set arrangement positions p.

[0040] The lifting machine selection acquisition unit 13 acquires a selection input of the type of the lifting machine. Specifically, the lifting machine selection acquisition unit 13 acquires a selection input of the lifting machine by the user via, for example, a predetermined interface.

[0041] The rated load information acquisition unit 14 acquires rated load information associated with the type of lift indicated in the selection input acquired by the lift selection acquisition unit 13. In this embodiment, the rated load information acquisition unit 14 acquires the rated load information from the lift information storage unit 40. The rated load information is information defined for each type of lift, and is information that associates a rated load with a working distance, which is the distance between the position of the lift (center of rotation of the boom) and the position of the member. The judgment unit 16 refers to the rated load information acquired by the rated load information acquisition unit 14 to judge whether the member can be lifted.

[0042] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing an example of rated load information. The example of rated load information shown in Fig. 5 is for a case where the outriggers of the lifting machine model "C1" are set to 6.3 m (maximum extension). In addition, since the lifting machine C1 has a boom whose length can be adjusted in multiple stages, the rated load information includes the rated load for each boom length. For example, when the boom length is "30.5 m", the rated load of the lifting machine "C1" at a working distance of "5.0 m" is 7.0 t.

[0043] The lifting member designation unit 15 accepts designation of one or more members among the members included in the suspended load group. Specifically, the lifting member designation unit 15 accepts, for example, a user's input of a member designation via a predetermined interface as a member to be determined as to whether or not the member can be lifted.

[0044] 6 is a diagram showing a display example of a BIM model in which the type of lifting machine and the lifting target component are specified. As shown in the display screen example bm2 of FIG. 6, for example, when a designation input is made in the display screen example bm1 (FIG. 4) to designate a part of the component MT of the lifting load group M, the lifting component designation unit 15 accepts the component MT as a component to be judged by the judgment unit 16 as to whether or not it can be lifted. Note that all components included in the lifting load group M may be judged without accepting the designation of the component to be judged. Also, in the display screen example bm2 of FIG. 6, a lifting machine C corresponding to the selection input of the lifting machine acquired by the lifting machine selection acquisition unit 13 is shown.

[0045] The determination unit 16 refers to the rated load information and determines whether or not all of the members to be determined that are included in the load group M can be lifted at one arrangement position p within the arrangement range R. Specifically, the determination unit 16 determines that a member can be lifted if the total load when lifting the member, calculated based on the weight of each member, is equal to or less than the rated load associated with the working distance of the member. The total load is the sum of the weight of the member and the weight of the tools and devices required for lifting the lifting jig, etc.

[0046] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram for explaining the judgment of whether or not the lifting machine can lift a member. The judgment unit 16 acquires position information indicating one of the positioning positions p set within the arrangement range R and the position information of the member m included in the lifting information, and calculates the working distance rl, which is the distance between the position of the positioning position p and the position of the member m. Next, the judgment unit 16 acquires the boom length bl of the boom b of the lifting machine C and the rated load associated with the calculated working distance rl, with reference to the rated load information of the lifting machine C according to the model selection. Then, the judgment unit 16 calculates the total load based on the weight of the member m and the weight of the lifting jig, etc. included in the lifting information, and judges that the member m can be lifted if the calculated total load is equal to or less than the acquired rated load.

[0047] The determination unit 16 performs a lifting possibility determination for all members to be determined for one arrangement position p. Furthermore, the determination unit 16 performs a lifting possibility determination for all members to be determined for each of all set arrangement positions p.

[0048] The output unit 17 outputs first liftable position information indicating a first liftable position, which is a placement position where the determination unit 16 has determined that all of the members to be determined can be lifted. Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of display of the first liftable position information. As shown in the display screen example bm3 and the schematic plan view g3 of the placement range R in Fig. 8, the output unit 17 displays the first liftable position ps1 on a predetermined display means such as a display so as to be distinguishable from other placement positions. The output unit 17 may also display a lift-impossible position ps2, which is a placement position where members determined to be unable to be lifted are present, so as to be further distinguishable.

[0049] In this way, the first lifting possible position information indicating the first lifting possible position ps1 at which it is determined that all components can be lifted is output and displayed, and by referring to this, the position of the lifting machine capable of lifting all components that make up the load group M can be easily recognized.

[0050] In addition, when the determination unit 16 determines that it is not possible to lift all of the components to be determined that are included in the load group M at a first placement position, which is one of the multiple placement positions p within the placement range R, the determination unit 16 searches within the placement range R for a second placement position at which it is possible to lift all of the non-liftable components, which are the components determined to be unable to be lifted at the first placement position.

[0051] Then, when the determination unit 16 searches for a second placement position corresponding to the first placement position, the output unit 17 outputs second liftable position information including information indicating the first placement position, the corresponding second placement position, and the non-liftable member.

[0052] By disposing the lifting machine at two locations, a first arrangement position and a second arrangement position corresponding to the first arrangement position, it is possible to lift all of the components included in the group of suspended loads. In other words, under conditions in which one movement of the lifting machine is permitted, it is possible to lift all of the components to be lifted included in the group of suspended loads by moving one lifting machine between the first arrangement position and the second arrangement position.

[0053] Fig. 9 is a diagram showing a display example of second liftable position information. In the example shown in the display screen example bm4 and the schematic plan view g4 of the arrangement range R in Fig. 9, all arrangement positions p within the arrangement range R are initially determined to be lift-unavailable positions ps2. Then, the determination unit 16 sets one of the lift-unavailable positions ps2 as a first arrangement position, and searches within the arrangement range R for a second arrangement position at which all of the unliftable members determined to be unliftable at the first arrangement position can be lifted. When the second arrangement position is found, the determination unit 16 determines that the first arrangement position is a second liftable position ps3.

[0054] In other words, by allowing the lifting machine to move once from the second liftable position ps3 to a second position corresponding to the second liftable position ps3, it is possible to lift all of the components to be lifted that are included in the load group at those two positions.

[0055] Fig. 10 is a diagram showing another example of the display screen when a second liftable position is searched. As shown in the display screen example bm5 and the schematic plan view g5 of the arrangement range R in Fig. 10, the output unit 17 accepts a designation via a predetermined interface for one arrangement position sp of the second liftable positions ps3. Then, the output unit 17 causes a second arrangement position ps4 to be identifiable, where all members of the member group MB consisting of members determined to be unable to be lifted at the arrangement position sp can be lifted.

[0056] In this way, by clearly displaying the placement position sp and the corresponding second placement position ps4, it is possible to easily recognize the combination of placement positions of the lifting machine that enables all of the components to be lifted to be lifted by a single movement of the lifting machine.

[0057] The output unit 17 also displays the members included in the group of members MB in an identifiable manner. This makes it easy to identify the members to be lifted at the second arrangement position after moving from the first arrangement position when all the members to be lifted are lifted by one movement of the lifting machine.

[0058] Furthermore, the output unit 17 may output, in response to a designated input of an arbitrary placement position p, members (liftable member information) indicating members that can be lifted at the placement position p in a recognizable manner. In Fig. 10, the member group MA is made up of members that have been determined to be liftable at the placement position sp. For example, in response to a designated input of the placement position sp, the output unit 17 may display the member group MA that can be lifted at the placement position sp in a recognizable manner.

[0059] The arrangement position sp, the arrangement position ps4 where all of the components determined to be unliftable at the arrangement position sp can be lifted, and the component group MB constitute an example of second liftable position information.

[0060] FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the process of the support method performed in the support system 1.

[0061] In step S1, the model information acquisition unit 11 acquires a BIM model of a target building, etc. The output unit 17 renders and outputs the target building, etc., based on the BIM model, and displays it on a display, for example.

[0062] In step S2, the model information acquisition unit 11 acquires the suspended load information. The output unit 17 renders and outputs the components based on information indicating the positions, shapes, and the like of the components included in the suspended load information.

[0063] In step S3, the arrangement range acquisition unit 12 acquires information on an arrangement range R consisting of a set of positions where the lifting machine can be arranged.

[0064] In step S4, the lifting member designation unit 15 accepts designation of one or more members among the members included in the suspended load group. Note that since all members included in the suspended load group may be subject to lifting judgment, the processing of step S4 is not essential.

[0065] In step S5, the lifting machine selection acquisition unit 13 acquires a selection input of the type of lifting machine. The rated load information acquisition unit 14 acquires rated load information associated with the type of lifting machine indicated in the selection input acquired by the lifting machine selection acquisition unit 13. Note that the type of lifting machine may be set and the rated load information may be acquired in advance, so the processing of step S5 is not essential.

[0066] In step S6, the determination unit 16 refers to the rated load information and determines whether or not all of the members to be determined that are included in the load group M can be lifted at one arrangement position p within the arrangement range R. Furthermore, the determination unit 16 performs a lifting feasibility determination for all of the members to be determined for each of all the set arrangement positions p.

[0067] In step S7, the determination unit 16 determines whether or not there is a first liftable position at which all of the members to be determined can be lifted. If it is determined that there is a first liftable position, the process proceeds to step S8. On the other hand, if it is not determined that there is a first liftable position, the process proceeds to step S9.

[0068] In step S8, the output unit 17 outputs first liftable position information indicating the first liftable position ps1. Specifically, the output unit 17 displays the first liftable position ps1 in a manner that makes it identifiable from other positions. The output unit 17 may also display a lift-unavailable position ps2, which is a position where a member determined to be unliftable is present, in a manner that makes it identifiable.

[0069] In step S9, when the judgment unit 16 judges that it is not possible to lift all of the components to be judged that are included in the load group M at a first placement position, which is one of the multiple placement positions p within the placement range R, the judgment unit 16 searches within the placement range R for a second placement position at which it is possible to lift all of the components that cannot be lifted at the first placement position.

[0070] In step S10, the determination unit 16 determines whether or not there is a first arrangement position for which a corresponding second arrangement position has been searched. If it is determined that there is a first arrangement position for which a corresponding second arrangement position has been searched, the process proceeds to step S11. On the other hand, if it is not determined that there is a first arrangement position for which a corresponding second arrangement position has been searched, the process proceeds to step S12.

[0071] In step S11, the output unit 17 sets the first placement position for which the corresponding second placement position has been searched as the second liftable position, and displays the second liftable position ps3 in a manner that makes it identifiable from other placement positions, thereby outputting second liftable position information including the first placement position (second liftable position), the second placement position corresponding to the first placement position, and information on non-liftable members that cannot be lifted at the first placement position but can be lifted at the second placement position.

[0072] In step S12, the output unit 17 outputs information to the effect that there is no arrangement position that can lift all of the members to be lifted even if one movement of the lifting machine is permitted.

[0073] Next, the output process of the second lift-possible position information will be described with reference to Fig. 12. Fig. 12 is a flowchart showing the output process of the second lift-possible position information.

[0074] In step S21, the output unit 17 receives a specification of one position sp among the second lift-enabled positions ps3.

[0075] In step S22, the output unit 17 displays the non-liftable members MB at the second liftable position ps3 designated as the position sp in a manner that allows them to be distinguished from other members. In addition, the output unit 17 displays the arrangement positions ps4 (the second arrangement positions corresponding to the first arrangement position, with the position sp being the first arrangement position) at which all of the non-liftable members MB can be lifted in a manner that allows them to be distinguished.

[0076] Next, a program for causing a computer to function as the support device 10 will be described with reference to Fig. 13.
