Solution Overview

Problem

Existing work management systems struggle to accurately evaluate the work amount performed on a work object when using a fluid blowing device, as the work amount depends on the distance between the device and the work object, and do not consider the influence of time on subsequent work.

Innovation Solution

A work management system that includes a fluid blowing device with measurement units for position and direction, a storage unit for the work object's position, an input unit for measuring device positions and directions, a calculation unit to estimate the work amount based on these measurements, and a correction unit to adjust the work amount based on whether the device has passed through target passing positions and the degree of influence on subsequent work.

1Device complexity

If the work amount is evaluated simply based on the position of the work object and the position and direction of the fluid blowing device, then the evaluation process is simple, but the accuracy of work amount evaluation is insufficient because it does not consider the distance between the device and the work object

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation process complexityVSAvoidwork amount evaluation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The evaluation process is segmented into multiple components: position detection, direction detection, distance calculation, and work amount evaluation. By dividing the evaluation into discrete steps with specific measurement units for each parameter, the system achieves accurate work amount evaluation while maintaining a manageable evaluation process structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If the distance between the fluid blowing device and the work object is considered to accurately evaluate work amount, then the work amount evaluation accuracy is improved, but the device complexity increases due to additional measurement units and calculation requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework amount evaluation accuracyVSAvoidmeasurement system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The fluid blowing device is designed with multi-functionality, integrating both the fluid blowing function and the measurement functions (position and direction detection) into a single device. This eliminates the need for separate measurement devices, thereby improving work amount evaluation accuracy while avoiding additional device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Measurement precision

If the influence of time on subsequent work is considered by adjusting the work amount evaluation, then the work management accuracy is improved, but the calculation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework management accuracyVSAvoidcalculation process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary evaluation of the influence degree on subsequent work before finalizing the work amount calculation. By assessing factors such as work object properties, fluid characteristics, and environmental conditions in advance, the system can apply appropriate correction coefficients without requiring complex real-time calculations, thus improving work management accuracy while keeping the calculation process manageable.

AI summary

A work management system includes an estimation unit that estimates a performed work amount based on a position of a portion of a work object to which a fluid is estimated to be blown while the work is performed. In addition, the work management system includes a first correction unit that compares a target passing position through which a fluid blowing device passes while the work is performed with a position of the fluid blowing device to determine whether the fluid blowing device has passed through the target passing position while the work is performed, and executes a first correction process of reducing the work amount estimated by the estimation unit when it is determined that the fluid blowing device has not passed through the target passing position.
