Publication number: 20230278545Abstract: An automatic driving vehicle is running in an automatic driving mode effected by a driving control device. An operator is able to instruct via a SLOW DOWN button on a touch panel that the automatic driving vehicle is to be decelerated or stopped. Should any anomaly occur to the SLOW DOWN button, a message or the like is displayed on a touch panel to encourage operation of an emergency stop switch. When the operator operates the emergency stop switch, emergency stop control is executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hirohito Ide, Yuchi Yamanouchi, Satoshi Koganemaru, Shogo Nakata

Publication number: 20230104917Abstract: In a mechanical fastening work method in an augmented reality space, a mechanical fastening part and a mechanical fastening part virtual body correspond one-to-one, and a tool and a tool virtual body correspond one-to-one. An augmented reality configuration system generates an augmented reality space including: a camera that captures a real space; a server that analyzes an image captured by the camera and generates the augmented reality space; and a tool that acquires torque information observed when tightening or loosening the mechanical fastening part and transmits and receives the torque information to and from the server. The mechanical fastening work method includes a step of, when the tool detects torque information that the mechanical fastening part is to be tightened or loosened, defining the mechanical fastening part virtual body corresponding one-to-one to the mechanical fastening part, and making the defined mechanical fastening part virtual body appear in the virtual space.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2020Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventors: Gojiro YAMAGUCHI, Shogo NAKATA, Yusuke HIRAI, Na YANG, Yuta TANIDA, Norihisa OKADA

Patent number: 11560157Abstract: A driving control device receives power supply from an accessory battery to operate, controls automatic driving, and outputs a control signal. A steering ECU, a power ECU and a brake ECU instruct a steering mechanism, a PCU and a brake to operate based on the control signal, respectively. An emergency stop switch is operated by an operator. In a case where the emergency stop switch is operated, an interface processing device cuts off a switch to stop the power supply, shuts down the driving control device, and outputs a control signal that causes the steering mechanism, the PCU and the brake to perform an emergency stop operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: January 24, 2023Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hirohito Ide, Yuchi Yamanouchi, Masaki Shitara, Ryo Hattori, Satoshi Koganemaru, Takeshi Uraki, Shogo Nakata, Yasunori Imada

Patent number: 11270473Abstract: In an operation management system in the related art, it is necessary to add an identification mark such as an RFID tag to each component to be managed and prepare a fastening tool having an antenna. In contrast, a mechanical fastening unit management method is provided using an augmented reality space generated by superimposing a virtual space on a real space. In the augmented reality space where a real fastening unit (RBn) and a virtual fastening unit (IBn) are in a one-to-one correspondence, information that the real fastening unit is selected as a fastening target is acquired with a camera or the like, and analyzed by an augmented reality server connected to the camera. Accordingly, it is possible to easily record that a predetermined operation is progressing as scheduled, and to provide a high quality mechanical fastening unit management method or system that is low in operation cost.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2018Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignees: HITACHI, LTD., ARDE CO., LTD., KYOTO TOOL CO., LTD.Inventors: Yuta Tanida, Norihisa Okada, Yoshifumi Kobayashi, Atsuo Kikuna, Takumi Nakamura, Miwa Yamaura, Gojiro Yamaguchi, Shogo Nakata, Yusuke Hirai

Patent number: 8234936Abstract: A torque wrench having ease of operation compatible with improved accuracy of measurement. The torque wrench includes a tightening portion, a housing having a front side cover part and a back side grip part and a shaft-like strain body that is contained inside the housing. First distortion sensors and second distortion sensors are arranged on the strain body at spaced points in the axial direction of the strain body for measuring an amount of distortion of the strain body. A microprocessor chip has functions including computation of a tightening torque which is corrected for errors due to changes in a point of effort where a tightening force is applied by a user. The correction is based on the detection result of the first distortion sensors and the second distortion sensors. An output portion outputs the corrected tightening torque measurement value.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2008Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignees: Hosiden Corporation, Kyoto Tool Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shogo Nakata, Tadashi Hanai, Kouji Fujita, Masahiko Umekawa, Hiroshi Uchida
