Working Machine Screen Control via Position Designation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Operators of working machines face inefficiencies when changing settings during attachment exchanges, as current systems require multiple screen transitions, which can interrupt operations and decrease work efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A control device with a position designation receiving unit and a screen control unit that allows for simple setting changes by identifying designated positions on a state image displayed on a display panel, enabling direct control of part images without needing multiple screen transitions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If multiple screen transitions are performed to change settings during attachment exchange, then settings can be changed accurately, but work efficiency decreases and time is lost
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically detecting the attachment exchange and pre-preparing the settings change process. When the control device detects that an attachment has been exchanged, it automatically transitions to the attachment selection screen and displays candidate attachments, eliminating the need for operators to manually navigate through multiple screens and thereby maintaining setting accuracy while improving work efficiency.
2Measurement precision
If multiple screen transitions are required for setting changes, then settings can be changed precisely, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The control device performs preliminary actions by automatically detecting attachment exchange and proactively transitioning to the appropriate screening interface. This automatic detection and transition mechanism eliminates complex manual navigation, allowing operators to simply select from displayed candidate attachments while maintaining precise setting changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting the attachment exchange condition and autonomously navigating through the screening process. The control device monitors sensor signals, detects attachment changes, and automatically transitions screens without requiring operator intervention for each step, thereby simplifying operation while maintaining setting precision.
3Measurement precision
If manual screen navigation is used for attachment settings, then settings can be adjusted accurately, but the time required for setting changes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control device performs preliminary action by continuously monitoring attachment status and automatically initiating the settings change process when exchange is detected. This includes automatically transitioning to the attachment selection screen and displaying candidate attachments, thereby eliminating manual navigation time while maintaining accurate setting changes through structured screening processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting attachment exchange conditions through sensor monitoring and autonomously navigating the settings change process. The control device eliminates the need for manual screen navigation by automatically transitioning between screens and presenting relevant options, significantly reducing setting change time while maintaining accuracy through systematic candidate presentation.
