In the present embodiment, when the traveling board 201 is a non-regular board, the steering control device 220 is used.
However, as a setting of a predetermined function, by performing a setting different from a normal setting (setting when the traveling board 201 is a regular board), a regular traveling board is possible while enabling a minimum cargo handling operation. Encourage exchange to 201. As described below, the normal setting is forklift 10
It may be set automatically or in advance based on a region where 0 is used. Or a normal setting may be set based on a driver | operator's operation.
The steering control device 220 corresponds to an example of a setting device.

FIG. 4 is a schematic block diagram illustrating a software configuration of the steering control device 220 according to the first embodiment.
The steering control device 220 includes a determination unit 301, a region information acquisition unit 302, a setting unit 303, and a display control unit 304 by executing a predetermined program stored in a ROM mounted on the steering board 203.
The determination unit 301 determines whether or not the traveling board 201 connected to the steering board 203 is a regular board.

The region information acquisition unit 302 acquires information indicating a region in which the steering control device 220 is used (accordingly, a region in which the forklift 100 is used).
For example, if the forklift 100 is a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System,
A global positioning system), and the regional information acquisition unit 302 receives a forklift 1 from GNSS.
The position information of 00 may be acquired. Alternatively, the setting information of the area where the steering control device 220 is used is registered in advance in the storage device of the steering board 203 by the manufacturer or distributor of the forklift 100, and the area information acquisition unit 302 reads out the setting information. It may be.
The region where the steering control device 220 is used is referred to as a region where the steering control device 220 is used.

The display control unit 304 controls the display 111 to display various images. In particular, the display control unit 304 displays the display 1 according to the setting of the language, unit, etc. by the setting unit 303.
11 is displayed.
The setting unit 303 selects and sets one of a plurality of setting candidates as a setting when the forklift 100 executes a predetermined function. In particular, the setting unit 303 acquires a plurality of language candidates for the display control unit 304 to display characters on the display 111, and selects and sets one of the obtained candidates. For example, the ROM of the steering board 203 stores fonts of a plurality of languages such as English, Japanese, and Russian in association with the language list, and the setting unit 303 reads the language list from the ROM, Select one and set it. Language candidates acquired by the setting unit 303 correspond to examples of setting candidates associated with regions.
Note that a language used in a predetermined area is referred to as a language of the area.

The setting unit 303 selects different setting candidates when it is determined that the travel board 201 is a regular board and when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board. In the present embodiment, when it is determined that the travel board 201 is a regular board, the setting unit 303 selects a language associated with the use region of the steering control device 220 from the acquired language candidates. . On the other hand, if it is determined that the traveling board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303
From the acquired language candidates, a language associated with an area other than the area where the steering control device 220 is used is selected.
The language associated with the use region of the steering control device 220 here is the language of the use region of the steering control device 220 (accordingly, the language of the use region of the forklift 100).

The display 111 displays in a language associated with an area other than the area where the steering control device 220 is used (and accordingly, a language other than the language where the steering control apparatus 220 is used). Thus, the usability of the forklift 100 can be reduced while enabling the cargo handling work. Specifically, the forklift 100 can perform a traveling operation and a cargo handling operation. On the other hand, it is difficult for the driver to read the display on the display 111, and usability is lowered in this respect. As a result, it is possible to prompt the user to replace the genuine travel board 201.

Here, in addition to the above method, the display 1 can be used as a method for enabling the minimum cargo handling work on the forklift 100 and reducing the usability of the forklift 100.
A method is also conceivable in which 11 does not display at all. However, if the traveling board 201 is replaced with a non-genuine product and the display 111 is not displayed at all, the cause of the absence of the display 111 is that the replaced traveling board 201 is broken. There is a possibility that the non-genuine travel board 201 is replaced again.
On the other hand, the display 111 displays in a language other than the language of the region where the steering control device 220 is used, so that the user does not operate correctly unless it is a genuine product, and is replaced with a regular travel board 201. Is expected to do.

Several methods can be used as a method for the setting unit 303 to grasp the correspondence relationship between the use region of the steering control device 220 and the language. For example, the regional information acquisition unit 302 may
When the position information of the forklift 100 is acquired from the ROM of the steering board 203,
Information indicating the correspondence between languages and regions may be stored in advance. In particular,
The ROM of the steering board 203 stores in advance information in which the language is associated with the latitude and longitude ranges of the area where the language is used.
Alternatively, the manufacturer or seller of the forklift 100 stores information indicating the language of the area in advance in the storage device of the steering board 203 as setting information of the area where the steering control device 220 is used. Also good.

Next, the operation of the steering control device 220 according to this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the steering control device 220 according to the first embodiment.
When the key switch of the forklift 100 is switched ON, the determination unit 301 determines whether or not the travel board 201 is a regular board as described with reference to FIG. 3 (step S101). When it is determined that the travel board 201 is a regular board (step S10)
1: YES), the area information acquisition unit 302 acquires information indicating the area where the steering control device 220 is used (step S102). Then, the setting unit 303 selects the language of the region where the steering control device 220 is used from the language candidates (step S103). Thereafter, the process of FIG.

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S101 that the travel board 201 is not a regular board (step S101: NO), the area information acquisition unit 302 acquires information indicating the use area of the steering control device 220 (step S104). . Then, the setting unit 303 selects a language in a region other than the usage region of the steering control device 220 from the language candidates (step S10).
5).

When there are a plurality of languages in regions other than the region where the steering control device 220 is used, several methods can be used as a method for the setting unit 303 to select one of the languages. For example, the setting unit 303 may randomly select one language from languages other than the area where the steering control device 220 is used. Alternatively, the priorities may be set in advance for the language candidates, and the setting unit 303 may select the language with the highest priority among the languages in regions other than the region where the steering control device 220 is used.

Alternatively, the manufacturer or seller of the forklift 100 may associate the region where the steering control device 220 is used with a language other than the region and store it in the storage device of the steering board 203 in advance. . By associating the area where the steering control device 220 is used with a language having a large difference from the language of the area, the usability of the forklift 100 is greatly reduced. As a result, it is possible to more strongly urge the replacement of the genuine product with the traveling board 201.
After step S105, the process of FIG.

Note that when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303 may randomly select any of the plurality of setting candidates.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating another example of the operation of the steering control device 220 according to the first embodiment. In the process of FIG. 6, steps S201 to S203 are the same as steps S101 to S103 of FIG. After step S203, the process of FIG.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S201 that the travel board 201 is not a regular board (step S201: NO), the setting unit 303 randomly selects one of the languages from the entire language candidates (step S201). S204). After step S204, the process of FIG. 6 ends.

According to the process of FIG. 6, when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, the area information acquisition unit 302 does not need to acquire information indicating the use area of the steering control device 220.
In this respect, the load on the steering control device 220 can be reduced.
In the process of FIG. 6, when it is determined that the traveling board 201 is not a regular board, the language selected by the setting unit 303 may be the same as the language of the region where the steering control device 220 is used. However, when the number of language candidates is large, there is a high probability that the setting unit 303 selects a language in a region other than the region where the steering control device 220 is used. Further, it is expected that the setting unit 303 selects a language in a region other than the region where the steering control device 220 is used, while performing the process of selecting a language at random several times. In this case, the usability of the forklift 100 can be reduced, and therefore, replacement with a genuine traveling board 201 can be promoted.

Note that when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303 may be configured not to allow the driver to select a setting. Specifically, the setting unit 303 may always select and set a specific setting candidate regardless of the driver's operation.
For example, a language displayed on the display 111 can be instructed by a driver's operation. When the traveling board 201 is determined not to be a regular board, the setting unit 303
However, regardless of the driver's operation, be sure to select and set a specific language.
In this case, the setting unit 303 only needs to perform a simple process of selecting and setting a specific setting candidate. In this respect, the load on the steering control device 220 can be reduced.

If the setting unit 303 always selects a specific language, the traveling board 201 is selected.
Is determined to be not a regular board, the language selected by the setting unit 303 is the steering control device 2.
There is a possibility that it is a language of 20 usage regions. However, the setting unit 303 has the forklift 10
By selecting a language used in a region where the number of 0 is small or a language used in a region where the use of non-genuine products is not so much, the setting unit 303 can select the language used in the region where the steering control device 220 is used. The percentage of choosing a different language increases. The language used in an area where the number of forklifts 100 is small and the language used in an area where there are not many non-genuine products are stored in advance in the storage device of the steering board 203 by the manufacturer or seller of the forklift 100, for example. Keep it.

As described above, the setting unit 303 determines that the traveling board 201 is a regular board as a setting when the forklift 100 performs a predetermined function, and the traveling board 20
Different setting candidates are selected depending on whether 1 is not a regular substrate. For example, the setting unit 3
03 selects a different language as a language in display 111 when the traveling board 201 is determined to be a regular board and when it is determined that the traveling board 201 is not a regular board.
As a result, the usability of the forklift 100 can be reduced while enabling the minimum cargo handling work on the forklift 100, and thus the regular traveling board 2
Exchange to 01 can be prompted.

The setting unit 303 selects a language designated in advance when the traveling board 201 is determined to be a regular board, and is designated in advance when it is determined that the traveling board 201 is not a regular board. Select a language that is different from the current language.
As a result, the usability of the forklift 100 can be reduced while enabling the minimum cargo handling work on the forklift 100, and thus the regular traveling board 2
Exchange to 01 can be prompted.
Note that this is before the setting unit 303 selects a language.

Further, when it is determined that the traveling board 201 is a regular board, the setting unit 303 selects a setting candidate associated with an area where the steering control device 220 is used. On the other hand, when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, a setting candidate associated with an area other than the area where the steering control device 220 is used is selected. For example, when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, a language associated with an area other than the area where the steering control device 220 is used is selected.
As a result, it is possible to reduce the usability of the forklift 100 more reliably while enabling the minimum cargo handling work on the forklift 100, and therefore, it is possible to urge the replacement of the genuine travel board 201.

In addition, when it is determined that the traveling board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303 randomly selects one of a plurality of setting candidates. For example, the setting unit 303 displays the display 11
One of the language candidates in the display of 1 is selected at random.
Thereby, when it determines with the board 201 for driving | running | working not being a regular board | substrate, the area information acquisition part 302 does not need to acquire the information which shows the use area of the steering control apparatus 220. FIG. In this respect, the load on the steering control device 220 can be reduced.

As described above, the embodiment has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to that described above, and various design changes and the like can be made.

For example, when it is determined that the traveling board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303
The display control unit 304 may change the setting of the unit used for display on the display 111 instead of or in addition to the setting of the language for displaying characters on the display 111.
For example, the display 111 displays the load of the forklift 100 in kilograms (kg
) And pounds (lb). The setting unit 303 selects one of a plurality of unit candidates, and the display control unit 304 causes the display 111 to display in the unit set by the setting unit 303.

When it is determined that the travel board 201 is a regular board, the setting unit 303 selects a unit used in the area where the steering control device 220 is used. On the other hand, when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303 selects a unit other than the unit used in the area where the steering control device 220 is used.
As a result, the usability of the forklift 100 can be reduced while enabling the minimum cargo handling work on the forklift 100, and thus the regular traveling board 2
Exchange to 01 can be prompted.

<< Second Embodiment >>
In the first embodiment, the case where the setting unit 303 changes the display setting on the display 111 depending on whether or not the traveling board 201 is a regular board has been described as an example. As described above, the setting unit 303 can change the settings related to functions other than the running and handling of the forklift 100, thereby enabling the minimum handling work on the forklift 100 and reducing the usability of the forklift 100. .
On the other hand, depending on whether or not the traveling board 201 is a regular substrate, the setting unit 303 may change the traveling setting and / or the cargo handling setting, or both of these settings.
Thus, the usability of the forklift 100 can be reduced while enabling the minimum cargo handling operation at the same time. 2nd Embodiment demonstrates the case where the setting part 303 changes the setting of driving | running | working or cargo handling of the forklift 100, or both.

The configuration and function of the forklift according to the second embodiment are the same as those described with reference to FIG. 1, and the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 1 are used. Further, the forklift 10 according to the second embodiment
The configuration and function of the control system 0 are the same as those described with reference to FIG. 2, and the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 2 are used. In the second embodiment, the traveling board 201 and the steering board 2
The operation for confirming whether or not 03 is a regular substrate is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 3, and the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 3 are used.

FIG. 7 is a schematic block diagram illustrating a software configuration of the steering control device 220 according to the second embodiment. In FIG. 7, the same reference numerals (220, 301) are assigned to portions corresponding to the respective portions in FIG.
, 303). In the configuration in FIG. 7, the area information acquisition unit and the display control unit are not shown, and the processing performed by the setting unit 303 is different from that in FIG. 4. Other than that,
This is the same as in the case of FIG.

In the second embodiment, the setting unit 303 selects different operation modes when it is determined that the traveling board 201 is a regular board and when it is determined that the traveling board 201 is not a regular board. . The driving mode here is a mode of operation of the traveling motor 208, the cargo handling motor 210, and the steering motor 212, and the output of the motor is different for the same driving operation. For example, there are a power mode, a normal mode, and an economy mode as operation modes. The motor output is the highest in the power mode, and the motor output is the lowest in the economy mode.
The traveling motor 208, the cargo handling motor 210, and the steering motor 212 are collectively referred to as “motor”.

For example, when it is determined that the travel board 201 is a regular board, the setting unit 303 selects the operation mode instructed by the driver's operation. On the other hand, when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303 selects an operation mode other than the operation mode instructed by the driver's operation. The setting unit 303 performs setting to the operation mode by outputting information indicating the selected operation mode.
When the setting unit 303 selects a driving mode other than the driving mode instructed by the driver's operation, the driver feels uncomfortable and thinks that the driver does not operate properly unless it is a genuine product. It is expected to be exchanged for goods.

Next, the operation of the steering control device 220 according to this embodiment will be described.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the operation of the steering control device 220 according to the second embodiment. In the process of FIG. 8, step S301 is the same as step S101 of FIG.
If it is determined in step S301 that the travel board 201 is a regular board (
Step S301: YES), the setting unit 303 selects and sets the driving mode instructed by the operation of the driving vehicle among the driving mode setting candidates (Step S302). Thereafter, the process of FIG.
On the other hand, when it is determined in step S301 that the travel board 201 is not a regular board (step S201: NO), the setting unit 303 selects the operation mode instructed by the driver's operation among the operation mode setting candidates. Is selected and set (step S30).
3).

When there are a plurality of operation modes other than the operation mode instructed by the driver's operation, several methods can be used as a method for the setting unit 303 to select one of the operation modes. For example, the setting unit 303 may randomly select one operation mode from operation modes other than the operation mode instructed by the driver's operation. Alternatively, priorities are set in advance for the operation mode setting candidates, and the setting unit 303 selects the operation mode with the highest priority among the operation modes other than the operation modes instructed by the driver's operation. You may do it.
After step S303, the process of FIG. 8 ends.

Note that when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303 may randomly select any of the plurality of operation mode setting candidates.
Thereby, the setting part 303 does not need to acquire the information which shows the driving mode instruct | indicated by driver | operator's operation, when it determines with the board 201 for driving | running | working not being a regular board | substrate. In this respect, the load on the steering control device 220 can be reduced.
In this process, when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, the operation mode selected by the setting unit 303 may be the same as the operation mode instructed by the driver's operation. . However, the setting unit 303 is expected to select an operation mode other than the operation mode instructed by the driver's operation while performing the process of selecting the operation mode at random several times. In this case, it is possible to make the driver feel uncomfortable, so that the driver can be urged to replace it with a genuine traveling board 201.

Note that when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303 may be configured not to allow the driver to select a setting. Specifically, the setting unit 303 may always select and set a specific setting candidate regardless of the driver's operation. For example, when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303 always selects and sets a specific operation mode regardless of the driver's operation.
In this case, the setting unit 303 only needs to perform a simple process of selecting and setting a specific setting candidate. In this respect, the load on the steering control device 220 can be reduced.

Note that if the setting unit 303 always selects a specific operation mode, when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board, the operation mode selected by the setting unit 303 is the normal operation mode for the travel board 201. There is a possibility that the same operation mode as that when the substrate is determined (that is, the same operation mode as the operation mode instructed by the driver's operation) is set. However,
Even if the driver performs a switching operation of the driving mode, the driving mode is not switched, so that the driver can feel uncomfortable. As a result, it is expected that the driver will replace the traveling board 201 with a genuine product by assuming that the driver does not operate correctly unless the product is a regular product.

As described above, the setting unit 303 determines that the traveling board 201 is a regular board as a setting when the forklift 100 performs a predetermined function, and the traveling board 20
Different setting candidates are selected depending on whether 1 is not a regular substrate. For example, the setting unit 3
03, when the traveling board 201 is determined to be a regular board, and when the traveling board 201
A different operation mode is selected when it is determined that is not a regular board.
As a result, the usability of the forklift 100 can be reduced while enabling the minimum cargo handling work on the forklift 100, and thus the regular traveling board 2
Exchange to 01 can be prompted.

The setting unit 303 selects the operation mode designated in advance when it is determined that the travel board 201 is a regular board, and is designated in advance when it is determined that the travel board 201 is not a regular board. Select a different operation mode from the current operation mode.
As a result, the usability of the forklift 100 can be reduced while enabling the minimum cargo handling work on the forklift 100, and thus the regular traveling board 2
Exchange to 01 can be prompted.
Note that this is before the setting unit 303 selects the operation mode.

In addition, when it is determined that the traveling board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303 randomly selects one of a plurality of setting candidates. For example, the setting unit 303 randomly selects one of the operation mode setting candidates.
Thereby, the setting part 303 does not need to acquire the information which shows the driving mode instruct | indicated by driver | operator's operation, when it determines with the board 201 for driving | running | working not being a regular board | substrate. In this respect, the load on the steering control device 220 can be reduced.

As described above, the embodiment has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to that described above, and various design changes and the like can be made.
For example, when it is determined that the traveling board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303
Instead of or in addition to the operation mode setting, the regenerative control setting may be changed. Further, for example, the regeneration intensity in plugging can be set, and the setting unit 303
However, any one of a plurality of stages of regeneration intensity may be selected.
The term “plugging” as used herein refers to switching between forward and reverse while the driver performs an accelerator operation while the forklift 100 is traveling. In plugging, the traveling motor 208
Breaks by regenerating as a generator. When the forklift 100 stops, the traveling motor 208 rotates again as a motor to cause the forklift 100 to travel in the reverse direction. By changing the regenerative strength at the time of plugging, it is possible to change the speed of switching between forward and backward (and hence the smoothness of switching).

When it is determined that the travel board 201 is a regular board, the setting unit 303 selects the regenerative strength instructed by the driver's operation. On the other hand, when it is determined that the traveling board 201 is not a regular board, the setting unit 303 selects a regeneration intensity other than the regeneration intensity instructed by the driver's operation.
As a result, the driver can feel a sense of incongruity while enabling a minimum cargo handling operation with the forklift 100, and therefore, the driver can be urged to replace it with a regular travel board 201.
