Patent number: 11761169Abstract: Provided is a work machine or the like which can switch between a power supply state and a power supply cutoff state of an actual machine control device irrespective of switching on or off an actual machine switch. On switching an actual machine switch 81 from off to on, a first power supply route from an actual machine power source 80 to an actual machine control device 400 is formed. Consequently, a second power supply route from the actual machine power source 80 to the actual machine control device 400 is formed. Then, the first power supply route is cut off, while the second power supply route not through the actual machine switch 81 is maintained.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2021Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryota Hama, Yoichiro Yamazaki, Ryuichi Hirose

Publication number: 20230031436Abstract: There is provided a technology capable of improving work efficiency of a work machine that is remotely operated by an operator through a remote operation apparatus. If a first condition is satisfied, that is, if an engine stop instruction for a work machine 40 is made through a remote input interface 21 of the remote operation apparatus 20, operation of an engine 460 is stopped in principle, but the operation of the engine 460 is exceptionally not stopped. Specifically, when an operator does not exist at a specified position at the time of operating a remote operation mechanism 211 in the remote operation apparatus 20, the operation of the engine 460 is stopped. On the other hand, when the operator exists at the specified position, the operation of the engine 460 is continued without being stopped even if an engine operation instruction is made.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2021Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventor: Ryuichi HIROSE
