  • Patent number: 11881061
    Abstract: A time period for which an ineffective operation is performed during an excavation work is reduced. A work machine includes a vehicular body, a running wheel rotatably attached to the vehicular body, a work implement operable with respect to the vehicular body, an operation apparatus for operating the running wheel and the work implement, and a controller that controls an operation by the work machine. The controller determines that an ineffective operation in which the work implement does not work is being performed during the excavation work based on an operation command value output from the operation apparatus and outputs a time period for which the ineffective operation is being performed.

  • Publication number: 20230106835
    Abstract: A target posture for a work implement at work is determined. There is provided a working system, comprising a body, a work implement attached to the body, and a computer. The computer has a trained target posture estimation model to determine a target posture for the work implement to assume at work. The computer obtains a target value for an amount of a work performed by the work implement, a period of time elapsing since the work implement started to work, and mechanical data for operation of the body and the work implement, uses the trained posture estimation model to estimate a target posture from the target value, the elapsed period of time and the mechanical data, and thus outputs the estimated target posture.

  • Publication number: 20230068838
    Abstract: An operator is allowed to easily recognize a difference between a manipulation actually performed when performing a work and a manipulation serving a model for the work. A manipulation guide device for a work machine includes a manipulation device, a storage unit, and a display unit. The manipulation device is manipulated by an operator of the work machine to operate the work machine. The storage unit stores model data serving as a model when the manipulation device is manipulated. The display unit displays a change over time in a result of comparison between actual manipulation data about an actual manipulation of the manipulation device by the operator and model data in a time period during an operation of the work machine.

  • Patent number: 11536008
    Abstract: A first processor determines a loaded state of a bucket, makes a determination that a traveling apparatus has performed an operation for shifting from a rearward movement state to a state (forward movement or stop) other than the rearward movement state in the loaded state, and calculates a load weight of the bucket from a detection value of a work implement sensor (first hydraulic pressure detectors and a first angle detector) based on the determination.

  • Patent number: 11371217
    Abstract: Work contents by a work implement are more accurately distinguished. Work contents by the work implement include at least two of dozing, piling, and excavation and loading. A controller distinguishes work contents by the work implement. The controller identifies work contents during a period from start of the works until end of the works based on a result of distinction between at least two temporally distant work contents in work records during the period from the start of the works until the end of the works.
