Patent number: 11828607Abstract: A memory stores, in advance, target line information indicating an arrangement target of an object to be conveyed and related to a target line denoted by at least one of a curve or a polyline. A controller is configured to: calculate, based on the target line information, target information which is at least one of information about a target coordinate of the object and information about a target direction of the object; calculate, based on the at least one of the coordinate of the object and the direction of the object detected by the detector, detection information which is comparable with the target information; calculate a deviation of the detection information from the target information; and cause a display to display a moving direction of the object which allows the deviation to decrease.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: KOBELCO CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Nobuhiro Fukuo, Yoichiro Yamazaki, Koji Yamashita, Yusuke Kamimura, Shingo Sekiguchi, Takayuki Iino, Hiroshi Kobayashi

Publication number: 20230313489Abstract: Provided is an automatic leveling system restraining leveling-objects from collapsing. The automatic leveling system includes a work machine that performs leveling motion, an imaging device, and a controller. The imaging device acquires three-dimensional information about the shape and position of at least one of the leveling-objects and a peripheral object. The work machine is provided with a work attachment including a tip attachment. The controller sets a leveling area based on the acquired three-dimensional information and makes the work machine perform the leveling motion by the tip attachment within the leveling area.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2021Publication date: October 5, 2023Applicant: KOBELCO CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Nobuhiro FUKUO, Daisuke NODA

Publication number: 20220363520Abstract: To allow a worker to visually recognize information for assisting transportation of a transport object and the transport object at the same time. A guidance system includes a guidance device and a controller. The guidance device has a display portion. The controller stores information of a target position of a transport object. The controller calculates a detected position which is a current position of the transport object based on a detection result of a detection portion, and further calculates a position deviation which is a deviation of the detected position from a target position. The display portion displays information of the position deviation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2020Publication date: November 17, 2022Applicant: KOBELCO CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Yusuke KAMIMURA, Yoichiro YAMAZAKI, Koji YAMASHITA, Nobuhiro FUKUO, Norio TAKAGI, Takayuki IINO, Kaisuke SOGA

Publication number: 20220177278Abstract: Provided is a holding apparatus capable of holding a holding object with sufficient holding force from either of the outside and the inside. The holding apparatus includes a holding-apparatus body, a first and second arms, an opening and closing mechanism, a driving device, and a first and second holding elements. The opening and closing mechanism interconnects each of the first and second arms and the holding apparatus main bodies so as to allow the first and second arms to be moved in the opening and closing direction while kept in the holding posture. The first and second holding elements is pivotably connected to the arm lower region, having respective inner contact surfaces opposed to each other in the opening and closing direction and respective outer contact surfaces facing the opposite side.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2021Publication date: June 9, 2022Applicant: KOBELCO CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Yasuhiko SHIMAZU, Ryunosuke MIYAZAKI, Nobuhiro FUKUO, Koji YAMASHITA

Patent number: 11111652Abstract: Provided is a construction machine capable of restricting halt of a function controlled by a controller when a key switch is in a key-off state. The construction machine includes an interruption switch switched between a supply allowing state of allowing supply of power from a battery to the controller and a supply interruption state of interrupting the power supply; a sensor detecting presence/absence of interruption necessary motion necessary for manipulating the interruption switch; and an alarm control device that causes an alarm device to issue an alarm only when the following conditions are all satisfied. The key switch is in the key-off state; the interruption switch is in the supply allowing state; the controller is being operated; and the sensor has detected presence of the interruption necessary motion.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2017Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: KOBELCO CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY CO., LTD.Inventors: Nobuhiro Fukuo, Yoshiaki Fujimoto
