Description

  The present invention relates to a system for retrieving design information of a worn article such as a suit, and in particular, a worn article suitable for realizing effective reduction of work load and cost reduction according to the work content of an operator. The present invention relates to a design information search system.

  In recent years, as the number of young people engaged in work decreases, the age of work workers tends to increase. In particular, the aging of workers is advancing at work sites such as civil engineering work and construction work, and the burden on workers is increasing. Loading and unloading work involving a forward bending posture places a heavy burden on the legs and waist, and back strain and arthralgia may occur if overworked.

  Therefore, various work auxiliary suits have been conventionally known for the purpose of reducing the work load on the worker (Patent Document 1).

  The work support suit described in Patent Document 1 is a body-side support elastic body 120 that is arranged along the body side from the vicinity of the armpit to the waist in the work garment body portion that covers the waistline from the armpit of the worker to the waist, and A waist support elastic body 130 is provided. With these elastic bodies, it is possible to reduce the load generated on the back muscles and legs when the body is bent, twisted, or swung, and it is also possible to support the returning operation.

JP, 2017-64335, A

  The work support suit described in Patent Document 1 is provided with an elastic body at a specific position of the work garment main body portion, so that the work load for a specific operation can be reduced, but civil engineering work, construction work, etc. At the work site, the worker's actions differ depending on the work content, and this does not necessarily lead to effective work load reduction for all workers.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made by paying attention to the unsolved problem of the conventional technique, and realizes effective reduction of the work load according to the work content of the worker and cost reduction. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wearable product design information search system that is suitable for reduction.

As a result of intensive studies, the present inventor has arrived at the present invention based on the following findings.
With respect to the problem of the work support suit described in Patent Document 1, a so-called made-to-order design approach is conceivable, in which the operation content of the work is analyzed for each worker and the positions and the number of elastic bodies are designed. However, when performing a bespoke design, which muscle is used from the work operation of the worker, how much load is applied to the muscle due to the weight of the worker, and at what position to reduce the load. Experts must analyze each one to determine whether or not to install a certain number of elastic bodies. Therefore, there is a concern that the cost may be increased as compared with a mass-produced product such as the work support suit described in Patent Document 1.

  The main reason for the cost increase is that experts must be involved in each design. In view of this, the present inventor thought that cost reduction could be achieved if one in several cases can be mechanically designed without involving an expert. Therefore, as a concrete method, for example, each time a suit is designed, what kind of design is performed for what kind of operation is stored in a database, and when a suit is designed next time, If the design information corresponding thereto is obtained by searching the database, the suit can be mechanically designed based on the design information. In addition, for example, like IoT (Internet of Things) technology, a sensor detects the operating state of the worker during actual work, and the suit design information that reduces the work load on the worker by this action is provided as AI (artificial). Assuming a technology designed with intelligence, the design information can be obtained from the AI by inputting operation content information (including sensor information) into the AI. How to learn AI should be deepened in future research, but as a result of learning, it is supposed that AI is learned by associating motion content information and design information, In the AI as a means, what kind of design is performed for what kind of operation is stored.

As a result, since the position in the entire evaluation can be grasped, it becomes easy to judge whether to use the design file or newly design the work support suit 10. For example, when the deviation value is 50 or more, the design file obtained by the search is used, and when the deviation value is less than 50, the work support suit 10 is newly designed and a new design file is registered. With such a configuration, it is possible to update the registered content of the design file in response to the improvement of the skill of the expert and the design technology.
