Further, the current inclination angles θ1, θ2, and θ3 of the boom 6, the arm 7, and the bucket 8 are calculated from the detection results of the first to third stroke sensors 16-18. The coordinates (xat, yat, zat) of the tip P3 of the bucket 8 in the vehicle main body coordinate system are based on the inclination angles θ1, θ2, θ3 and the lengths L1, L2, L3 of the boom 6, arm 7, and bucket 8. These are calculated by the following equations (7) to (9).
xat = 0 (7)
yat = Lb1 + L1sin θ1 + L2sin (θ1 + θ2) + L3sin (θ1 + θ2 + θ3) (8)

Note that the display on / off of the graphic information 84 may be changed by an operator's operation.

  As described above, the rough excavation screen 53 displays the relative positional relationship between the target surface line 79 and the excavator 100 and the numerical value indicating the shortest distance between the tip of the bucket 8 and the target surface line 79. The operator can easily excavate the current terrain into the three-dimensional design terrain by moving the tip of the bucket 8 along the line indicating the target plane line 79.

2-4. Delicate drilling screen 54
FIG. 11 shows a delicate excavation screen 54. The fine excavation screen 54 shows the positional relationship between the target surface 70 and the excavator 100 in more detail than the rough excavation screen 53. On the delicate excavation screen 54, a first screen switching key 65 similar to the above-described traveling mode guide screens 51 and 52 is displayed. In FIG. 11, since the delicate excavation screen 54 is displayed, the icon of the delicate excavation mode selection key 69 is displayed as the first screen switching key 65. The delicate excavation screen 54 includes a front view 54 a showing the target surface 70 and the bucket 8 and a side view 54 b showing the target surface 70 and the bucket 8. The front view 54a of the delicate excavation screen 54 includes an icon 89 of the bucket 8 as viewed from the front and a line indicating the cross section of the target surface 70 as viewed from the front (hereinafter referred to as “target surface line 78”). The side view 54 b of the delicate excavation screen 54 includes an icon 90 of the bucket 8 in a side view, a design surface line 74, and a target surface line 79. Moreover, the front view 54a and the side view 54b of the delicate excavation screen 54 display information indicating the positional relationship between the target surface 70 and the bucket 8, respectively.

  Information indicating the positional relationship between the target surface 70 and the bucket 8 in the front view 54a includes distance information 86a and angle information 86b.

  As described above, the relative excavation screen 54 displays the relative positional relationship between the target plane lines 78 and 79 and the bucket 8. By moving the tip of the bucket 8 along the line indicating the target plane lines 78 and 79, the operator can further easily excavate the current topography so that it has the same shape as the three-dimensional design topography.

3. Guide Screen Switching Control As shown in FIG. 5, the guide screens in the wide area travel mode, detailed travel mode, rough excavation mode, and fine excavation mode can be switched to each other automatically or manually. In FIG. 5, a solid arrow indicates that the guide screen is automatically switched. A broken line arrow indicates that the guide screen is manually switched. Hereinafter, the guidance screen switching control executed by the position guidance system 28 will be described.

3-1. Switching between Wide Travel Mode and Detailed Travel Mode FIG. 12 shows a flow of guide screen switching control between the wide travel mode and the detailed travel mode. Hereinafter, processing for automatically switching the guidance screen between the wide-area traveling mode and the detailed traveling mode will be described.

  First, it is determined whether or not the traveling determination is ON. The travel determination being ON means that the excavator 100 has changed from the travel stop state to the travel state. Here, the position guidance controller 39 detects whether or not the traveling operation member 33 has been operated based on a detection signal from the traveling operation detection unit 34. The position guidance controller 39 determines that the travel determination is ON when it detects that the travel operation member 33 has been operated in the forward direction or the reverse direction from the neutral position.

  If it is determined in step S1 that the travel determination is not ON, that is, the travel determination is OFF, the process returns to step S1 again. In step S1, since the screen manually switched by the operator is prioritized when the vehicle is not traveling, the guidance screen is prevented from being switched against the operator's intention.

  If it is determined in step S1 that the traveling determination is ON, the process proceeds to step S2. In step S2, the current position of the excavator 100 is detected. Here, the position induction controller 39 detects the current position of the vehicle main body 1 by the position detector 19 described above.

  In step S3, the approach / separation determination distance is calculated. The approach / separation determination distance indicates a distance between the target surface 70 and the reach range of the work implement 2. The position guidance controller 39 calculates the approach / separation determination distance based on the design terrain data, the current position of the vehicle body 1 and the work implement data. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the shortest distance between the boom pin 13 and the target surface 70 is the distance between the target surface 70 and the vehicle main body 1 from the designed terrain data and the current position of the vehicle main body 1. Calculated as the distance D0. At this time, the closest point P4 on the target surface 70 with respect to the boom pin 13 is selected, and the distance between the closest point P4 and the boom pin 13 is calculated as the distance D0 between the target surface 70 and the vehicle body 1. Then, a distance D1 obtained by subtracting the maximum reach length Lmax of the work implement 2 from the distance D0 between the target surface 70 and the vehicle main body 1 is calculated as an approaching / separating determination distance.

  Next, in step S4, it is determined whether the approach / separation determination distance is equal to or less than a predetermined determination threshold. At this time, when a position status described later is in a separated state, the approach determination threshold value is used as the determination threshold value. That is, the approach determination threshold value is used when the excavator 100 is about to approach the target surface 70 from a position away from the target surface 70. When the position status is in the approaching state, the separation determination threshold is used as the determination threshold. That is, the separation determination threshold is used when the excavator 100 is about to leave the target surface 70 from a position close to the target surface 70. The separation determination threshold is larger than the approach determination threshold.

  If it is determined in step S4 that the approach / separation determination distance is equal to or less than the determination threshold, the process proceeds to step S5. In step S <b> 5, the detailed travel screen 52 is displayed on the display unit 42. In step S6, the position status is set to the approaching state. Therefore, when it is determined that the approach / separation determination distance is equal to or less than the determination threshold, the separation determination threshold is set as the determination threshold in the next determination.

  If it is determined in step S4 that the approach / separation determination distance is greater than the determination threshold, the process proceeds to step S7. In step S <b> 7, the wide area travel screen 51 is displayed on the display unit 42. In step S8, the position status is set to the separated state. Therefore, when it is determined that the approach / separation determination distance is greater than the determination threshold, in the next determination, the approach determination threshold is set as the determination threshold. Note that the approach determination threshold is set as an initial value as the determination threshold when the excavator 100 is turned on.

  While the travel mode guide screens 51 and 52 are displayed, the above flow is repeatedly executed. As shown in FIG. 5, the switching of the guide screen between the wide-area travel mode and the detailed travel mode is also executed by the operator operating the second screen switching key 66 described above. That is, the operator can switch to the detailed travel screen 52 by pressing the second screen switching key 66 while the wide travel screen 51 is displayed. Further, the operator can switch to the wide-area travel screen 51 by pressing the second screen switching key 66 while the detailed travel screen 52 is displayed.

3-2. Switching between Travel Mode and Excavation Mode Next, switching control of the guidance screen between the travel mode and the excavation mode will be described. FIG. 14 shows a flow of switching control of the guide screen from the excavation mode to the travel mode. Hereinafter, processing for automatically switching the guide screen from the excavation mode to the traveling mode will be described.

  First, in step S11, the current position of the excavator 100 is detected. Here, the position induction controller 39 detects the current position of the vehicle main body 1 by the position detector 19 described above.

  Next, in step S12, it is determined whether the travel determination is ON. The travel determination being ON means that the excavator 100 has changed from the travel stop state to the travel state. Here, the position guidance controller 39 detects whether or not the traveling operation member 33 has been operated based on a detection signal from the traveling operation detection unit 34. The position guidance controller 39 determines that the travel determination is ON when it detects that the travel operation member 33 has been operated in the forward direction or the reverse direction from the neutral position.

  If it is determined in step S12 that the travel determination is ON, the process proceeds to step S13. In step S13, travel mode guidance screens 51 and 52 are displayed. That is, when the excavator 100 changes from the travel stop state to the travel state, the excavation mode guide screens 53 and 54 are automatically switched to the travel mode guide screens 51 and 52. At this time, the position guidance controller 39 determines whether the guide screen currently displayed on the display unit 42 is the rough excavation screen 53 or the fine excavation screen 54, the travel mode guide screen 51, Switch to 52. At this time, as in step S3 described above, it is determined whether to display the guidance screen of the wide travel screen 51 or the detailed travel screen 52 depending on whether the approach / separation determination distance is equal to or smaller than the determination threshold. The

  If it is determined in step S12 that the travel determination is not ON, that is, the travel determination is OFF, the process proceeds to step S14. In step S14, the excavation mode guidance screens 53 and 54 are displayed. That is, when it is determined that the excavator 100 has not changed from the state where it is not in the traveling state to the traveling state, the guidance screens 53 and 54 in the excavation mode are maintained. For example, the rough excavation screen 53 or the fine excavation screen 54 is maintained while the excavator 100 is stopped and the excavation is performed.

  As described above, when it is determined that the travel determination is ON, the guidance screen is automatically switched from the excavation mode to the travel mode. However, even if it is determined that the travel determination is OFF, the guide screen is not automatically switched from the travel mode to the excavation mode, and the travel mode guide screens 51 and 52 are maintained.

  As described above, when the first screen switching key 65 is operated, the guidance screen is switched from the traveling mode to the excavation mode. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, when the operator presses the rough excavation mode selection key 68 while the traveling mode guidance screens 51 and 52 are displayed, the guidance screen is changed from the traveling mode guidance screens 51 and 52. The screen is switched to the rough excavation screen 53. If the operator presses the fine excavation mode selection key 69 while the travel mode guide screens 51 and 52 are displayed, the guide screen is switched from the travel mode guide screens 51 and 52 to the delicate excavation screen 54.

  When the travel mode selection key 67 is pressed while the rough excavation screen 53 is displayed, the guide screen is switched from the rough excavation mode to the travel mode. When the travel mode selection key 67 is pressed while the delicate excavation screen 54 is displayed, the guide screen is switched from the delicate excavation screen 54 to the guide screens 51 and 52 for the travel mode. In these cases, similarly to the switching control between the wide travel screen 51 and the detailed travel screen 52 described above, the wide travel screen 51 and the detailed travel screen 52 are determined depending on whether the approach / separation determination distance is equal to or less than the determination threshold. Which guidance screen is to be displayed is determined.

3-3. Switching between the rough excavation mode and the fine excavation mode The switching between the rough excavation screen 53 and the fine excavation screen 54 is manually performed by the first screen switching key 65 described above. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the operator presses the rough excavation mode selection key 68, the rough excavation screen 53 is displayed. When the operator presses the fine excavation mode selection key 69, the fine excavation screen 54 is displayed.

4). Features The position guidance system 28 of the excavator 100 according to the present embodiment changes from the excavation mode guide screens 53 and 54 to the travel mode guide screens 51 and 52 when it is determined that the travel stop state has changed to the travel state. It is switched automatically. Accordingly, when the excavator 100 is moved greatly, the operator does not need to operate the switching of the guide screen himself. For this reason, the work burden on the operator is reduced.

  The travel mode guide screens 51 and 52 are automatically switched between the wide travel screen 51 and the detailed travel screen 52 in accordance with the approach / separation determination distance. Therefore, when the position of the excavator 100 is finely adjusted, the operator does not need to operate the guide screen switching by himself / herself. This further reduces the work burden on the operator. Further, since the workable range 76 is displayed on the detailed travel screen 52, the operator can easily finely adjust the position of the excavator 100.

  Switching from the excavation mode guide screens 53 and 54 to the travel mode guide screens 51 and 52 is automatically performed, but switching from the travel mode guide screens 51 and 52 to the excavation mode guide screens 53 and 54 is automatically performed. It is done manually and not. If the guide screen is automatically switched in both directions between the driving mode and the excavation mode by turning ON / OFF the driving judgment, even if the vehicle is paused during driving and then restarted When it stops temporarily, it always switches to the excavation mode. However, in a situation where the vehicle is temporarily stopped and then re-traveled, the operator should move to the travel mode guide screens 51 and 52 before operating the travel operation member 33 (for example, work In many cases, it is desired to confirm the position of the target surface 70 in the area. Further, when the travel determination is turned ON again after the temporary stop, the guidance screen is switched from the excavation mode to the travel mode, but this is slow. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the travel mode guidance screens 51 and 52 are maintained when the vehicle is temporarily stopped during traveling by the switching control as described above. This prevents the guide screen from being switched against the operator's intention. Further, the operator can easily confirm where to move on the guidance screens 51 and 52 in the travel mode. In addition, when it is desired to perform excavation in a stopped state instead of re-running, the operator can manually switch to the guide screens 53 and 54 in the excavation mode.

  The approach / separation determination distance is calculated by subtracting the maximum reach length of the work implement 2 from the distance between the target surface 70 and the vehicle body 1. The work machine 2 of the excavator 100 changes the reach length when the angle between the boom 6, the arm 7, and the bucket 8 changes. Therefore, even if the vehicle body 1 is at the same position, the distance between the current position at the tip of the bucket 8 and the target surface 70 is not constant. For this reason, if the guide screen is switched depending on the distance between the current position of the tip of the bucket 8 and the target surface 70, the timing at which the guide screen is switched depends on the current position of the tip of the bucket 8. It will be different. Further, the position suitable for the excavator 100 to perform work is determined not by the current position of the tip of the bucket 8 but by the relationship with the reach range of the work implement 2. The reach range of the work machine 2 is a range in which the work machine 2 can be reached, and is, for example, a range between the boom pin 13 and the tip P3 of the bucket 8 in FIG. Therefore, by using the maximum reach length of the work machine 2 for calculating the approach / separation determination distance, the guide screen can be switched when the reach range of the work machine 2 approaches the target surface 70. As a result, the operator can easily place the excavator 100 at the optimum work position for performing work.

  When the position status of the excavator 100 is in the separated state, the approach determination threshold value is used as the determination threshold value. Further, when the position status of the excavator 100 is in the approaching state, a separation determination threshold value that is larger than the approach determination threshold value is used as the determination threshold value. Therefore, frequent switching of the guide screen due to the movement of the excavator 100 by a small distance can be suppressed.

5. Other embodiments
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the summary of invention. For example, the contents of each guidance screen are not limited to those described above, and may be changed as appropriate. In addition, part or all of the functions of the position induction controller 39 may be executed by a computer arranged outside the excavator 100. Further, the target work target is not limited to the plane as described above, but may be a point, a line, or a three-dimensional shape. The input unit 41 of the display input device 38 is not limited to a touch panel type, and may be configured by operation members such as hard keys and switches.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the operator manually digs by operating the work implement operating member 31 has been described, but an automatic digging mode may be further provided. When the automatic excavation mode is selected, the above-described target plane line 79 becomes a target movement path for moving the tip of the bucket 8. The position guidance controller 39 outputs a control signal for automatically moving the tip of the bucket 8 along the target movement path to the work machine control device 27. Thereby, excavation by the work machine 2 is automatically executed.

  In the above embodiment, the work machine 2 includes the boom 6, the arm 7, and the bucket 8, but the configuration of the work machine 2 is not limited to this. Moreover, the work performed by the work machine 2 is not limited to excavation, and other work may be performed. That is, in the above-described embodiment, the excavation mode guide screen is exemplified as the work mode guide screen. However, a work mode guide screen suitable for work other than excavation may be used.

  In the above embodiment, the tilt angles of the boom 6, the arm 7, and the bucket 8 are detected by the first to third stroke sensors 16-18, but the tilt angle detection means is not limited to these. For example, an angle sensor that detects the inclination angles of the boom 6, the arm 7, and the bucket 8 may be provided.

  In the above embodiment, the approach determination threshold is set as an initial value as a determination threshold when the excavator 100 is turned on. However, the initial value of the determination threshold is not limited to this, and may be set to another value.

  The screens included in each guide screen are not limited to the above. For example, on the delicate excavation screen 54, a top view of the excavator 100 may be displayed instead of the front view 54a described above. Moreover, on the wide traveling screen 51, a 3D bird's-eye view may be displayed instead of a top view showing the current position of the excavator 100.

  In the above embodiment, the closest point P4 is selected as the position of the target plane from all the parts on the target plane 70 as shown in FIG. However, as shown in FIG. 15B, the closest point P4 may be selected as the position of the target surface from the outer periphery of the target surface 70.

  In the above embodiment, the approach / separation determination distance is calculated by subtracting the maximum reach length of the work implement 2 from the distance between the target surface 70 and the vehicle body 1. However, the approach / separation determination distance is not limited to this, and may be calculated by another method. For example, the approach / separation determination distance may be calculated by the method shown in Modification 1-3 below.

(Modification 1)
As shown in FIG. 16, the position induction controller 39 calculates a distance D0 between the target surface 70 and the vehicle main body 1 from the design terrain data and the current position of the vehicle main body 1. The position induction controller 39 then obtains a distance D2 obtained by subtracting the length L1 of the workable range 76 on the route connecting the target surface 70 and the vehicle body 1 from the distance D0 between the target surface 70 and the vehicle body 1. Calculated as the approach / separation determination distance.

(Modification 2)
The position guidance controller 39 calculates the position of the virtual circle C1 as shown in FIG. 17 from the detected current position of the vehicle main body 1. The virtual circle C1 is a circle having a radius of the maximum reach length Lmax around the mounting position of the work implement 2 in the vehicle body 1, that is, the boom pin 13. Then, the position induction controller 39 calculates the shortest distance D3 between the target surface 70 and the virtual circle C1 as the approach / separation determination distance.

(Modification 3)
As shown in FIG. 18, the position guidance controller 39 calculates the shortest distance D4 between the workable range 76 and the target surface 70 as the approaching / separating determination distance.
