Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit the necessity to store the symbols for a worker and to eliminate the working mistakes of the worker by providing a display device which instructs the work in pictures to the worker and a controller which makes the display device instruct the work in pictures to the worker based on the input specifications of a vehicle. CONSTITUTION:A line control computer ALC 14 inputs the symbols of specifications of the assembled vehicle to be checked by a worker into an FA (factory automatic) controller 11. That is, these specification symbols are supplied to the controller 11 in accordance with the timing when the assembled vehicle to be checked arrives at the worker. The controller 11 refers to a table registered previously to retrieve a graphic display number based on the specific symbols supplied from the ACL 14. Then the controller 11 sends the graphic display number to a graphical display controller GDC 12, and the GDC 12 shows a picture registered previously on a display device 13 based on the graphic display number.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a work instruction device for instructing a worker who works on a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, an assembly vehicle is inspected by a line control computer (hereinafter referred to as ALC) by printing an assembly inspection table suitable for the vehicle to be inspected by a printer.
The worker did it by visually checking the assembly inspection table and checking the quality of the vehicle. In this case, the assembly inspection table is composed of symbols such as alphanumeric characters, and the operator is familiar with the relationship between the symbols such as alphanumeric characters on the assembly inspection table and each work place of the assembled vehicle for each specification of the vehicle. I remembered.

[0003]

The inspection of the assembled vehicle has been carried out by an operator visually checking an assembly inspection table composed of symbols such as alphanumeric characters to check the quality of the vehicle.
There is a limit to the memory capacity of the worker, and it is impossible for the worker to remember all the various specifications of the vehicle, which may result in a work error. In addition, it takes time for the operator to memorize (learn) symbols such as alphanumeric characters in the assembly inspection table. Furthermore, the operator may mistake the symbols on the assembly inspection table and make a mistake in the operation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a work instructing device that solves the above-mentioned drawbacks and that an operator does not need to memorize a symbol so that a work error can be eliminated.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a work instructing device for instructing a worker who works on a vehicle to perform a work, and instructs the worker by a picture. And a controller for inputting the specifications of a vehicle on which the worker should work, and causing the display device to instruct the operation by a picture according to the specifications of the vehicle.

[0006]

The controller inputs the specifications of the vehicle on which the operator should work, and the controller causes the display device to instruct the operation by a picture according to the specifications of the vehicle. Therefore, the worker may perform the work according to the picture instructed on the display device.
For this reason, the operator does not need to memorize the symbols, and the operator does not have to memorize all the various specifications of the vehicle, and there is no mistake in the symbols.

[0007]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The work instruction apparatus 10 of this embodiment is an FA (Factory Auto).
operation controller 11, a graphical display controller (hereinafter referred to as GDC) 12, and a display device 13 which is a 20-inch CRT and is capable of performing graphic display. The display device 13 is a work instruction display device for pictorially instructing a worker on an inspection line of an assembled vehicle, and is installed near the worker's work position in a place where the worker can easily see.

The ALC 14 inputs a specification symbol indicating the specifications of an assembly vehicle to be inspected by an operator to the FA controller 11, that is, the specification symbol of the vehicle is in accordance with the timing of the assembly vehicle to be inspected at the operator. Input to the FA controller 11. FA controller 11 is ALC1
Based on the specification symbol from 4, the graphic display number is searched by referring to a table registered in advance as shown in FIG. 2, and the graphic display number is transmitted to the GDC 12. The GDC 12 causes the display device 13 to display a picture registered in advance by the graphic display number transmitted from the FA controller 11.

The above table shows the specification numbers ABC, XOB.
.. and the graphic numbers 5, 8 ... Corresponding to the pictures for instructing the work to be inspected by the worker for the vehicles of the specification numbers ABC, XOB ... are registered. The display device 13 displays a picture for instructing the work to be inspected by the worker on the vehicle at the timing when the assembly vehicle to be inspected arrives at the worker, thereby instructing the worker to perform the work. To do. Each time the operator comes to the assembled vehicle, the operator may perform the work visually instructed by the display device 13 on the assembled vehicle. Therefore, the operator does not need to memorize the symbols of the assembly inspection table, and the operation mistakes due to not remembering all the various specifications of the vehicle and the mistakes of the mistakes in the symbols of the assembly inspection table are eliminated.

A picture is registered in the GDC 12 by a predetermined amount (the required number of specifications, for example, 250) by an input device such as an image scanner, a simple drawing means, a VTR. In addition,
As the display device 13, a liquid crystal display device or the like may be used instead of the CRT. Further, it is also possible to use the one in which the GDC 12 and the display device 13 are integrated. Furthermore, GDC
Registration of pictures for 12 is FA controller 11, AL
It may be performed by C14 or the like.

Although the above embodiment is an example of instructing a worker who inspects an assembled vehicle to perform the work, the present invention can be similarly applied to the case of instructing the worker to assemble the vehicle. it can.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, a display device for instructing a worker to work by a picture and a specification of a vehicle on which the worker should work are input, and according to the specification of this vehicle. Since the display device is provided with the controller for instructing the work by a picture, the operator does not need to memorize the symbols,
It is possible to eliminate work mistakes due to the Tsu dealer not remembering all the various specifications of the vehicle, and work mistakes due to misunderstanding of symbols.
