Patent number: 12077945Abstract: An operation assistance system for a work machine includes an operation assistance function and a work assistance function. Both of the operation assistance function and the work assistance function are switchable between enabled and disabled states. When the work assistance function is in an enabled state and when the work area is set outside of the stop area to surround the stop area, the operation assistance system sets the work area as the stop area such that the stop area is extended and overlaid on the work area, and automatically enables the operation assistance function when the operation assistance function is in a disabled state.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2020Date of Patent: September 3, 2024Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., LtdInventors: Takaaki Chiba, Shinya Imura, Shinjiro Yamamoto, Masamichi Ito, Koji Shiwaku

Patent number: 11993912Abstract: Provided is a work machine that can suppress decrease in work efficiency while reducing the possibility of contacting a worker or a dump truck, etc. A movement range is set in advance so as to avoid entry of a worker or a dump truck, etc. into the set movement range. The work machine performs stop control with clearance for an obstacle having entered the movement range, but performs stop control with relatively small clearance (minimum clearance) for a movement range. Thus, the work machine can reduce the frequency of stopping a body or a work implement and suppress decrease in work efficiency. Since the work machine controls the body or the work implement to stop with clearance when the worker or the dump truck, etc. enters the movement range of the work machine, the work machine can reduce the possibility of contacting the worker or the dump truck, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: HITACHI CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Shinya Imura, Masamichi Ito, Hidekazu Moriki, Yuho Saito
