The work machine sales system 1A sells, for example, a
管理サーバ6は、製造会社4のコンピュータや店舗3に設置された店舗用端末7に有線又は無線等のネットワーク(電気通信網)8を介して接続可能となっている。
この管理サーバ6は、例えば、作業機2を販売する各店舗3(各ディーラ)で、どの機種の作業機2が何台売れたか、また、どの機種の作業機2が何台売れてないかといった販売状況を把握するためのものである。 Themanagement server 6 can be connected to a computer of the manufacturing company 4 or a store terminal 7 installed in the store 3 via a wired or wireless network (electric communication network) 8.
Thismanagement server 6 is, for example, how many working machines 2 are sold at each store 3 (each dealer) that sells the working machines 2, and how many working machines 2 are not sold. It is for grasping the sales situation.
この管理サーバ6は、例えば、作業機2を販売する各店舗3(各ディーラ)で、どの機種の作業機2が何台売れたか、また、どの機種の作業機2が何台売れてないかといった販売状況を把握するためのものである。 The
This
図2(a)に示すように、管理サーバ6には、店舗3毎に納品した作業機2の固有情報(製造番号、機種)が保存されている。即ち、ネットワーク8を介して製造会社4から各店舗3に納品した作業機2の固有情報が管理サーバ6に通知され、これによって、管理サーバ6内の納品状況が更新されるようになっている。また、管理サーバ6には、作業機2の価格、作業機2が店舗3で売れたか否かを示す管理販売状況が保存されている。
As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the management server 6 stores unique information (manufacturing number, model) of the work machine 2 delivered for each store 3. In other words, the unique information of the work machine 2 delivered to each store 3 from the manufacturing company 4 via the network 8 is notified to the management server 6, whereby the delivery status in the management server 6 is updated. . Further, the management server 6 stores the price of the work machine 2 and the management sales status indicating whether the work machine 2 has been sold at the store 3.
したがって、管理サーバ6に保存されている情報を見れば、どの店舗3でどの作業機2が売れたか否かが分かるようになっている。
例えば、図2(a)に示すように、店舗A,製造番号「10004」,機種「M135A」の管理販売状況は、販売済「○」となっているため、この作業機2は売れているということになる。 Therefore, by looking at the information stored in themanagement server 6, it is possible to know which work machine 2 is sold at which store 3.
For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the management and sales status of the store A, the production number “10004”, and the model “M135A” is already sold “O”, so thiswork machine 2 is sold. It turns out that.
例えば、図2(a)に示すように、店舗A,製造番号「10004」,機種「M135A」の管理販売状況は、販売済「○」となっているため、この作業機2は売れているということになる。 Therefore, by looking at the information stored in the
For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the management and sales status of the store A, the production number “10004”, and the model “M135A” is already sold “O”, so this
一方、店舗B、製造番号「10201」,機種「M135A」の管理販売状況は、未販売「×」となっているため、この作業機2は売れていないことになる。
なお、作業機2の固有情報とは作業機2を特定するための情報である。この作業機2の固有情報は、例えば、作業機2の1台1台に割り当てられたID(identification)を用いても良いが、この実施形態では、作業機2の製造番号と機種と組み合わせることによって作業機2を特定できるため、製造番号と機種とからなるものとされている。 On the other hand, since the management sales status of the store B, the production number “10201”, and the model “M135A” is not sold “×”, thework machine 2 is not sold.
The unique information of thework machine 2 is information for identifying the work machine 2. For example, an ID (identification) assigned to each work machine 2 may be used as the unique information of the work machine 2, but in this embodiment, it is combined with the manufacturing number and model of the work machine 2. Since the work machine 2 can be specified by this, it is made up of a production number and a model.

The unique information of the
店舗3に設置された店舗用端末7は、例えば、パーソナルコンピュータで構成され、ネットワーク8を介して管理サーバ6にアクセスすることができるようになっている。この店舗用端末7は、管理サーバ6に店舗3における作業機2の販売状況を通知したり作業機2の納品状況を通知するものである。なお、店舗用端末7は、作業機2の販売状況や納品状況を管理サーバ6に通知するものであれば何でもよく、例えば、モバイルコンピュータ等の通信端末でもよい。
The store terminal 7 installed in the store 3 is composed of a personal computer, for example, and can access the management server 6 via the network 8. The store terminal 7 notifies the management server 6 of the sales status of the work machine 2 in the store 3 and the delivery status of the work machine 2. The store terminal 7 may be anything as long as it notifies the management server 6 of the sales status and delivery status of the work machine 2, and may be a communication terminal such as a mobile computer.
店舗用端末7にて管理サーバ6に店舗3における販売状況や納品状況を通知する方法は次のようになる。
まず、店舗3に所属する販売員が店舗用端末7を用いて管理サーバ6にアクセスすると、管理サーバ6側では店舗用端末7のアクセスを許可する。そして、店舗用端末7を用いて管理サーバ6内の管理販売状況や納品状況(納品情報)の書換を行うことができる。 The method of notifying themanagement server 6 of the sales status and delivery status in the store 3 at the store terminal 7 is as follows.
First, when a salesperson belonging to thestore 3 accesses the management server 6 using the store terminal 7, the management server 6 permits access to the store terminal 7. Then, the management sales status and delivery status (delivery information) in the management server 6 can be rewritten using the store terminal 7.
まず、店舗3に所属する販売員が店舗用端末7を用いて管理サーバ6にアクセスすると、管理サーバ6側では店舗用端末7のアクセスを許可する。そして、店舗用端末7を用いて管理サーバ6内の管理販売状況や納品状況(納品情報)の書換を行うことができる。 The method of notifying the
First, when a salesperson belonging to the
例えば、図2(b)に示すように、管理サーバ6において、店舗A,製造番号「10004」,機種「M135A」の管理販売状況は未販売「×」となっていると共に、納品状況も未納品「×」となっている。ここで、店舗3(店舗A)の店舗用端末7にて管理サーバ6にアクセスすることによって、店舗A,製造番号「10004」,機種「M135A」の管理販売状況を販売済「○」に書き換えると共に納品状況も納品済「○」に書き換えることができる。
For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, in the management server 6, the management sales status of the store A, the production number “10004”, the model “M135A” is not sold, and the delivery status is not yet. Delivery is “×”. Here, by accessing the management server 6 at the store terminal 7 of the store 3 (store A), the management sales status of the store A, the production number “10004”, and the model “M135A” is rewritten to “sold” “O”. At the same time, the delivery status can be rewritten to “○”.
なお、この実施形態では、店舗用端末7から管理サーバ6にアクセスをして、店舗用端末7を用いて管理サーバ6内の管理販売状況や納品状況の書換を行うようにしているが、図2(c)に示すように、店舗用端末7を用いて販売状況や納品状況を予め作成しておき、店舗用端末7から販売状況や納品状況を管理サーバ6にアップロードすることによって管理サーバ6内の管理販売状況や納品状況を書き換えてもよい。また、販売管理会社5の社員等が当該販売管理会社5に設置したコンピュータを用いて、管理サーバ6内の管理販売状況や納品状況を書き換えることができるようにしてもよい。
In this embodiment, the management server 6 is accessed from the store terminal 7 and the management sales status and delivery status in the management server 6 are rewritten using the store terminal 7. As shown in FIG. 2 (c), the management server 6 is prepared by creating a sales situation and a delivery situation in advance using the store terminal 7 and uploading the sale situation and the delivery situation from the store terminal 7 to the management server 6. You may rewrite the management sales status and delivery status. Further, an employee of the sales management company 5 or the like may be able to rewrite the management sales status and delivery status in the management server 6 using a computer installed in the sales management company 5.
このように、作業機2の販売システム1Aでは、製造会社4から店舗3に作業機2を納品して、店舗3において作業機2の販売を行う。そして、例えば、顧客との売買契約が成立すると、店舗3に所属する販売員は店舗用端末7を用いて販売管理会社5に設置した管理サーバ6にアクセスを行い、作業機2が売れたこととして当該作業機2の販売状況を通知する。そして、管理サーバ6の管理販売状況は、店舗用端末7等の操作によって書き換えられる。また、作業機2は顧客に引き渡され、当該作業機2は店舗3から無くなることになる。
As described above, in the sales system 1A for the work machine 2, the work machine 2 is delivered from the manufacturing company 4 to the store 3, and the work machine 2 is sold in the store 3. For example, when a sales contract with the customer is established, the salesperson belonging to the store 3 uses the store terminal 7 to access the management server 6 installed in the sales management company 5 and the work machine 2 is sold. The sales status of the work machine 2 is notified. And the management sales situation of the management server 6 is rewritten by operation of the terminal 7 for shops. In addition, the work machine 2 is handed over to the customer, and the work machine 2 disappears from the store 3.
ここで、本発明の作業機2の動作制限システムでは、作業機2の販売完了前(例えば、作業機2を顧客に引き渡す前)では、作業機2の動作を制限することによって、店舗3に配置した作業機2の盗難を防止することとしている。
以下、本発明の作業機の動作制限システムについて説明する。

図7は、トラクタ2において走行系や作業系の制御を行う制御装置を示したものである。
図7に示すように、トラクタ2における走行系及び作業系の制御は、例えば、3つの制御装置(第1制御装置20、第2制御装置21、第3制御装置22)によって行うものとなっている。
第1制御装置20は、トラクタ2の全体を制御するものであって、他の制御装置、即ち、第2制御装置21、第3制御装置22とは相互通信が行えるようになっている。 FIG. 7 shows a control device that controls the traveling system and the working system in thetractor 2.
As shown in FIG. 7, the traveling system and the working system in thetractor 2 are controlled by, for example, three control devices (first control device 20, second control device 21, and third control device 22). Yes.
Thefirst control device 20 controls the entire tractor 2 and can communicate with other control devices, that is, the second control device 21 and the third control device 22.

The
この第1制御装置20には、アクセルペダルを操作したときのアクセルペダルの操作量、変速用のシフトレバーを操作したときのシフトレバー位置などが入力されるようになっている。
第1制御装置20は、アクセルペダルの操作量に基づいてエンジン11が所定の回転数になるように第2制御装置21に制御指令を出力すると共に、シフトレバー位置に基づいて変速装置12を制御(変速制御)することができるようになっている。 Thefirst control device 20 is input with an operation amount of the accelerator pedal when the accelerator pedal is operated, a shift lever position when the shift lever for shifting is operated, and the like.
Thefirst control device 20 outputs a control command to the second control device 21 so that the engine 11 has a predetermined rotational speed based on the operation amount of the accelerator pedal, and controls the transmission device 12 based on the shift lever position. (Shift control) can be performed.
第1制御装置20は、アクセルペダルの操作量に基づいてエンジン11が所定の回転数になるように第2制御装置21に制御指令を出力すると共に、シフトレバー位置に基づいて変速装置12を制御(変速制御)することができるようになっている。 The
The
その他、第1制御装置20には、エンジン回転上限値が入力されると共に、アクセルレバー量が入力されるようになっている。エンジン回転上限値は、運転席15の近傍に設けられたボリュームにより設定できるようになっており、アクセルレバー量は運転席15の近傍に設けられたアクセルレバーにより設定できるようになっている。
エンジン回転上限値が入力されている場合、第1制御装置20は、エンジン11の回転数がエンジン回転上限値を超えないように第2制御装置21に制御指令を出力する。また、アクセルレバー量が入力されている場合、第1制御装置20は、アクセルペダルの操作量がアクセルレバー量以上となれば、アクセルペダルの操作量に応じた制御指令を第2制御装置21にするものの、アクセルペダルの操作量がアクセルレバー量未満であるときにはアクセルペダルの操作量に応じた制御指令を行わず、アクセルペダルの操作量に応じたエンジン11の回転数の制御は行わないようになっている。 In addition, thefirst control device 20 is input with an engine rotation upper limit value and an accelerator lever amount. The engine rotation upper limit value can be set by a volume provided in the vicinity of the driver seat 15, and the accelerator lever amount can be set by an accelerator lever provided in the vicinity of the driver seat 15.
When the engine rotation upper limit value is input, thefirst control device 20 outputs a control command to the second control device 21 so that the rotation speed of the engine 11 does not exceed the engine rotation upper limit value. Further, when the accelerator lever amount is input, the first control device 20 sends a control command corresponding to the accelerator pedal operation amount to the second control device 21 if the accelerator pedal operation amount is equal to or greater than the accelerator lever amount. However, when the operation amount of the accelerator pedal is less than the accelerator lever amount, the control command according to the operation amount of the accelerator pedal is not performed, and the rotation speed of the engine 11 is not controlled according to the operation amount of the accelerator pedal. It has become.
エンジン回転上限値が入力されている場合、第1制御装置20は、エンジン11の回転数がエンジン回転上限値を超えないように第2制御装置21に制御指令を出力する。また、アクセルレバー量が入力されている場合、第1制御装置20は、アクセルペダルの操作量がアクセルレバー量以上となれば、アクセルペダルの操作量に応じた制御指令を第2制御装置21にするものの、アクセルペダルの操作量がアクセルレバー量未満であるときにはアクセルペダルの操作量に応じた制御指令を行わず、アクセルペダルの操作量に応じたエンジン11の回転数の制御は行わないようになっている。 In addition, the
When the engine rotation upper limit value is input, the
また、第1制御装置20は、エンジン回転数、変速段、油温など、トラクタ2の様々な情報を表示する表示装置24を制御すると共に第3制御装置22からの入力に基づいて3点リンク機構16の昇降を制御する(3P昇降制御)。
第1制御装置20には、トラクタ2の通常制御をロックするロック手段30が設けられている。即ち、このロック手段30は、後述するように作業機2が販売未完了であることを示す販売未完了信号S1が入力されると、この販売未完了信号S1が入力されたということを保持し、当該第1制御装置20における通常制御を行わないよう制限をかける。なお、ロック手段30は、第1制御装置20に書き込まれたプログラム等から構成されている。また、第1制御装置20の内部メモリ25には、当該トラクタ2を特定するための固有情報が保存されている。 Further, thefirst control device 20 controls the display device 24 that displays various information of the tractor 2 such as the engine speed, the shift speed, the oil temperature, and the like, and a three-point link based on the input from the third control device 22. The raising / lowering of the mechanism 16 is controlled (3P raising / lowering control).
Thefirst control device 20 is provided with a lock means 30 that locks the normal control of the tractor 2. That is, the lock means 30 holds that the sales incomplete signal S1 is input when the sales incomplete signal S1 indicating that the work machine 2 is incompletely sold is input as will be described later. The first control device 20 is restricted so as not to perform normal control. The lock unit 30 is configured by a program written in the first control device 20. In addition, unique information for specifying the tractor 2 is stored in the internal memory 25 of the first control device 20.
第1制御装置20には、トラクタ2の通常制御をロックするロック手段30が設けられている。即ち、このロック手段30は、後述するように作業機2が販売未完了であることを示す販売未完了信号S1が入力されると、この販売未完了信号S1が入力されたということを保持し、当該第1制御装置20における通常制御を行わないよう制限をかける。なお、ロック手段30は、第1制御装置20に書き込まれたプログラム等から構成されている。また、第1制御装置20の内部メモリ25には、当該トラクタ2を特定するための固有情報が保存されている。 Further, the
The
第2制御装置21(エンジンコンピュータユニット)は、主にエンジン11を制御するものであって、第1制御装置20からのアクセルペダルの操作量、クランク位置、カム位置等の入力に基づいて、インジェクタ27、コモンレール28、サプライポンプ29等を制御するものである。なお、第2制御装置21におけるエンジン制御は、一般的なディーゼルエンジン制御と同じものであり、例えば、インジェクタ27の制御では燃料噴射量、噴射時期、燃料噴射率が設定され、サプライポンプ29やコモンレール28の制御では燃料噴射圧が設定される。
The second control device 21 (engine computer unit) mainly controls the engine 11 and is based on inputs such as an accelerator pedal operation amount, a crank position, and a cam position from the first control device 20. 27, the common rail 28, the supply pump 29 and the like are controlled. The engine control in the second control device 21 is the same as general diesel engine control. For example, in the control of the injector 27, the fuel injection amount, the injection timing, and the fuel injection rate are set, and the supply pump 29 and the common rail are controlled. In the control 28, the fuel injection pressure is set.
第3制御装置22は、第1制御装置20や第2制御装置21に入力される操作系(スイッチ等)の入力に基づいて、所定の入力信号を第1制御装置20や第2制御装置21に出力するものである。
さて、上述した第1制御装置20には作業機用無線端末9が接続されている。作業機用無線端末9は、店舗3に設置した無線用送受信器と通信可能となっていて、無線用送受信器33を介して管理サーバ6と相互通信ができるようになっている。 Thethird control device 22 sends a predetermined input signal to the first control device 20 or the second control device 21 based on an input of an operation system (such as a switch) input to the first control device 20 or the second control device 21. Is output.
The workmachine wireless terminal 9 is connected to the first control device 20 described above. The work machine radio terminal 9 can communicate with a radio transceiver installed in the store 3 and can communicate with the management server 6 via the radio transceiver 33.
さて、上述した第1制御装置20には作業機用無線端末9が接続されている。作業機用無線端末9は、店舗3に設置した無線用送受信器と通信可能となっていて、無線用送受信器33を介して管理サーバ6と相互通信ができるようになっている。 The
The work
作業機用無線端末9は、電波を発信するアクティブ系の無線端末(無線機)とされ、例えば、第1制御装置20に保存された作業機2(トラクタ2)の固有情報を外部に送信したり、様々なトラクタ2の情報を外部に送信することができるようになっている。また、作業機用無線端末9は、外部から様々な情報を受信して受信した情報を第1制御装置20に送信することができるようになっている。例えば、作業機用無線端末9は、管理サーバ6から送信された販売未完了信号S1を受信すると、当該販売未完了信号S1を第1制御装置20に送信する。
The work machine radio terminal 9 is an active radio terminal (radio machine) that emits radio waves. For example, the work machine radio terminal 9 transmits the unique information of the work machine 2 (tractor 2) stored in the first control device 20 to the outside. Or various tractor 2 information can be transmitted to the outside. In addition, the work machine wireless terminal 9 can receive various information from the outside and transmit the received information to the first control device 20. For example, when receiving the sales incomplete signal S1 transmitted from the management server 6, the work equipment wireless terminal 9 transmits the sales incomplete signal S1 to the first control device 20.
以上、このようなトラクタ2では、管理サーバ6から送信された販売未完了信号S1を作業機用無線端末9が受信し、当該販売未完了信号S1が第1制御装置20に入力されると、第1制御装置20のロック手段30が働いて当該第1制御装置20の内部メモリ25等にロック信号が保持される。第1制御装置20にロック信号が保持されたとき、例えば、第1制御装置20のロック手段30によって、アクセルペダルの操作量が入力されても第2制御装置21に制御指令を出力せず、第2制御装置21への通常制御を行わない。
As described above, in such a tractor 2, when the work machine wireless terminal 9 receives the sales incomplete signal S <b> 1 transmitted from the management server 6 and the sales incomplete signal S <b> 1 is input to the first control device 20, The lock means 30 of the first control device 20 works to hold the lock signal in the internal memory 25 of the first control device 20 or the like. When the lock signal is held in the first control device 20, for example, even if the operation amount of the accelerator pedal is input by the lock means 30 of the first control device 20, the control command is not output to the second control device 21, The normal control to the second control device 21 is not performed.
つまり、第1制御装置20は、内部にロック手段30が働くと作業機2への通常制御をロックして、上述したようにエンジン11が掛からないようにする。
なお、通常制御とは、第1制御装置20が行うことができる全ての制御動作のことであり、通常制御をロック(停止、制限)するとは、通常制御で行うことができる制御のうち一部の制御の停止や制限を行う、即ち、意図的に制御を行わせないというものである。即ち、通常制御に停止(制限)が加わると、上述したように、エンジン11が動かなかったり、エンジン11が動いたとしても、アクセルペダルの操作量に応じてエンジン回転数などが上がらなくなる。 In other words, thefirst control device 20 locks the normal control to the work implement 2 when the lock means 30 is activated therein, so that the engine 11 is not started as described above.
Note that the normal control is all control operations that can be performed by thefirst control device 20, and that the normal control is locked (stopped or limited) is part of the control that can be performed by the normal control. The control is stopped or restricted, that is, the control is not intentionally performed. That is, when the normal control is stopped (restricted), as described above, even if the engine 11 does not move or the engine 11 moves, the engine speed or the like does not increase according to the operation amount of the accelerator pedal.
なお、通常制御とは、第1制御装置20が行うことができる全ての制御動作のことであり、通常制御をロック(停止、制限)するとは、通常制御で行うことができる制御のうち一部の制御の停止や制限を行う、即ち、意図的に制御を行わせないというものである。即ち、通常制御に停止(制限)が加わると、上述したように、エンジン11が動かなかったり、エンジン11が動いたとしても、アクセルペダルの操作量に応じてエンジン回転数などが上がらなくなる。 In other words, the
Note that the normal control is all control operations that can be performed by the
第1制御装置20による通常制御の停止(制限)は、上述したものに限定されない、例えば、第1制御装置20は、シフトレバー位置に基づいて変速装置12を制御するようになっているが、第1制御装置20においてロック手段30が働くと、シフトレバー位置に基づく変速装置12の制御を行わないようにしてもよい。その他に、第1制御装置20は、第3制御装置22からの入力に基づいて3点リンク機構16の昇降を制御するようになっているが、第1制御装置20においてロック手段30が働くと、第3制御装置22からの入力に基づいて3点リンク機構16の昇降を行わず、例えば、3点リンク機構16を最降下させて上昇できないようにしてもよい。
The stop (restriction) of the normal control by the first control device 20 is not limited to the one described above. For example, the first control device 20 controls the transmission 12 based on the shift lever position. When the locking unit 30 is activated in the first control device 20, the transmission 12 may not be controlled based on the shift lever position. In addition, the first control device 20 is configured to control the lifting and lowering of the three-point link mechanism 16 based on the input from the third control device 22, but when the lock means 30 works in the first control device 20. The three-point link mechanism 16 may not be lifted or lowered based on the input from the third control device 22, and for example, the three-point link mechanism 16 may be lowered so that it cannot be raised.
このように、トラクタ2は、販売未完了信号S1が作業機用無線端末9(第1制御装置20)に入力されると通常動作が停止し、通常通りに動作することがない。つまり、トラクタ2の動作は制限されることになる。
なお、製造会社4から店舗3へトラクタ2を納品するまで(納品完了まで)は、トラクタ2を動作させることがあるため、製造会社4から店舗3へトラクタ2を納品する間は、第1制御装置20は通常制御を行える状態である。言い換えれば、製造会社4からトラクタ2が出たときは、第1制御装置20による通常制御の停止は行われていないことが前提である。 As described above, thetractor 2 stops normal operation when the sales incomplete signal S1 is input to the work equipment wireless terminal 9 (first control device 20), and does not operate normally. That is, the operation of the tractor 2 is limited.
Since thetractor 2 may be operated until the tractor 2 is delivered from the manufacturing company 4 to the store 3 (until delivery is completed), the first control is performed while the tractor 2 is delivered from the manufacturing company 4 to the store 3. The device 20 is in a state where normal control can be performed. In other words, when the tractor 2 comes out of the manufacturing company 4, it is assumed that the normal control is not stopped by the first control device 20.
なお、製造会社4から店舗3へトラクタ2を納品するまで(納品完了まで)は、トラクタ2を動作させることがあるため、製造会社4から店舗3へトラクタ2を納品する間は、第1制御装置20は通常制御を行える状態である。言い換えれば、製造会社4からトラクタ2が出たときは、第1制御装置20による通常制御の停止は行われていないことが前提である。 As described above, the
Since the
また、一旦、ロック手段30が働くと、第1制御装置20は、ロック信号を継続的に保持することが好ましい。
次に、販売未完了信号を送信する管理サーバについて詳しく説明する。
管理サーバ6は、店舗3に納品したトラクタ2が未販売、即ち、販売が完了していないときは販売未完了信号S1をネットワーク8を介して店舗3に配置したトラクタ2(作業機用無線端末9)に送信する手段(未完了送信手段40)を有している。管理サーバ6は、例えば、トラクタ2が店舗3に納品されたこと(トラクタ2の納品完了)が店舗3から通知された直後に管理サーバ6が店舗3に配置したトラクタ2(作業機用無線端末9)に販売未完了信号S1を送信する。 In addition, once the lock unit 30 is activated, thefirst control device 20 preferably continuously holds the lock signal.
Next, the management server that transmits the sales incomplete signal will be described in detail.
When thetractor 2 delivered to the store 3 has not been sold, that is, when the sale has not been completed, the management server 6 has the tractor 2 (work equipment wireless terminal) arranged in the store 3 via the network 8 when the sale is not completed. 9) means for transmitting (incomplete transmission means 40). For example, the management server 6 may include the tractor 2 (work equipment wireless terminal) disposed in the store 3 immediately after the store 3 is notified that the tractor 2 has been delivered to the store 3 (delivery of the tractor 2 is completed). 9) A sales incomplete signal S1 is transmitted.
次に、販売未完了信号を送信する管理サーバについて詳しく説明する。
管理サーバ6は、店舗3に納品したトラクタ2が未販売、即ち、販売が完了していないときは販売未完了信号S1をネットワーク8を介して店舗3に配置したトラクタ2(作業機用無線端末9)に送信する手段(未完了送信手段40)を有している。管理サーバ6は、例えば、トラクタ2が店舗3に納品されたこと(トラクタ2の納品完了)が店舗3から通知された直後に管理サーバ6が店舗3に配置したトラクタ2(作業機用無線端末9)に販売未完了信号S1を送信する。 In addition, once the lock unit 30 is activated, the
Next, the management server that transmits the sales incomplete signal will be described in detail.
When the
図3に示すように、製造番号「10004」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2について納品が完了したことが店舗Aから通知されると、管理サーバ6では、納品状況が更新されたとする(納品「×」から納品「○」へ)。管理サーバ6の納品完了が通知された時点で、管理サーバ6の未完了送信手段40によって販売未完了信号S1が製造番号「10004」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2に送信される。
As shown in FIG. 3, when the store A notifies that the delivery of the tractor 2 having the production number “10004” and the model “M135A” is completed, the delivery status is updated in the management server 6 (delivery “ X "to delivery" ○ "). At the time when the delivery completion of the management server 6 is notified, the incomplete delivery signal S1 of the management server 6 is sent to the tractor 2 of the production number “10004” and the model “M135A”.
したがって、管理サーバ6が販売が終了していない(販売未完了)のトラクタ2に対して販売未完了信号S1を送信することから、販売が終了していないトラクタ2の動作に制限をかけることができる。
なお、納品状況の更新は、店舗3の販売員が店舗用端末7を用いて管理サーバ6にアクセスすることによって行ってもよいし、販売管理会社5の社員等が管理サーバ6に店舗用端末7とは別の端末等を用いて管理サーバ6にアクセスすることによって行ってもよく特に限定されない。 Accordingly, since themanagement server 6 transmits the sales incomplete signal S1 to the tractor 2 whose sales are not completed (sales are not completed), the operation of the tractors 2 whose sales are not completed may be limited. it can.
The delivery status may be updated by a salesperson in thestore 3 accessing the management server 6 using the store terminal 7, or an employee of the sales management company 5 may store the store terminal in the management server 6. 7 may be performed by accessing the management server 6 using a terminal different from 7 or the like, and is not particularly limited.
なお、納品状況の更新は、店舗3の販売員が店舗用端末7を用いて管理サーバ6にアクセスすることによって行ってもよいし、販売管理会社5の社員等が管理サーバ6に店舗用端末7とは別の端末等を用いて管理サーバ6にアクセスすることによって行ってもよく特に限定されない。 Accordingly, since the
The delivery status may be updated by a salesperson in the
また、トラクタ2に搭載した作業機用無線端末9を特定方法する方法は特に限定されない。例えば、作業機用無線端末9に予め無線用アドレス(無線ネットワーク8内におけるアドレス)を割り振って、管理サーバ6にトラクタ2の固有情報と無線用アドレスとを関連付けて保存しておき、管理サーバ6が販売未完了信号S1を送信するときに固有情報及び通信用情報とを無線用送受信器233に送信することによって、作業機用無線端末9を特定できるようにしてもよい。また、無線用送受信器233側でトラクタ2の固有情報が分かれば作業機用無線端末9を特定できるようにしてもよい。
Further, the method for specifying the work equipment wireless terminal 9 mounted on the tractor 2 is not particularly limited. For example, a wireless address (address in the wireless network 8) is allocated in advance to the work machine wireless terminal 9, and the management server 6 associates and stores the unique information of the tractor 2 and the wireless address. May transmit the unique information and the communication information to the wireless transceiver 233 when transmitting the sales incomplete signal S1, so that the work equipment wireless terminal 9 can be identified. Further, if the unique information of the tractor 2 is known on the wireless transceiver 233 side, the work equipment wireless terminal 9 may be specified.
本発明の作業機2の動作制限システムによれば、管理サーバ6と、作業機2に設けられて当該作業機2の制御を行う第1制御装置20と、作業機用無線端末9とを備え、管理サーバ6は、作業機2が販売未完了であるときにネットワーク8を介して作業機用無線端末9に販売未完了を示す販売未完了信号S1を送信する未完了送信手段40を備え、作業機用無線端末9は、受信した販売未完了信号S1を第1制御装置20に出力するように構成されており、第1制御装置20は、販売未完了信号S1が入力された際に作業機2への通常制御を制限するように構成されている。
According to the operation restriction system for the work machine 2 of the present invention, the management server 6, the first control device 20 that is provided in the work machine 2 and controls the work machine 2, and the work machine wireless terminal 9 are provided. The management server 6 includes incomplete transmission means 40 for transmitting a sales incomplete signal S1 indicating that sales are incomplete to the work equipment wireless terminal 9 via the network 8 when the work equipment 2 is incomplete sales. The work machine wireless terminal 9 is configured to output the received sales incomplete signal S1 to the first control device 20, and the first control device 20 operates when the sales incompletion signal S1 is input. It is configured to restrict normal control to the machine 2.
これによれば、販売を管理する管理サーバ6によって販売未完了信号S1を作業機2に送信するようになっているため、販売が完了していない作業機2に対しては動作を制限することができ、正常に作業機2を動かすことができないため、作業機2の盗難防止を図ることができる。
図4,5は、管理サーバ6からトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末9に対して販売未完了信号S1を送信する変形例を示したものである。 According to this, since the sales incomplete signal S1 is transmitted to the work implement 2 by themanagement server 6 that manages the sale, the operation is restricted for the work implement 2 that has not been sold. Since the working machine 2 cannot be moved normally, it is possible to prevent the working machine 2 from being stolen.
4 and 5 show a modified example in which a sales incomplete signal S1 is transmitted from themanagement server 6 to the work equipment wireless terminal 9 of the tractor 2.

具体的には、トラクタ2が製造会社4から店舗3に送られてきて店舗3に納品したとき、納品したトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末9が使用できる状態(店舗3に設けた無線用送受信器233と無線通信ができる状態)にする。例えば、店舗3の販売員等が作業機用無線端末9の電源をオンにする。 In FIG. 4, when themanagement server 6 requests a response to the work equipment wireless terminal 9 and the work equipment wireless terminal 9 receives a response to the response request, the sales incomplete signal S1 is transmitted. This is an example.
More specifically, when thetractor 2 is sent from the manufacturing company 4 to the store 3 and delivered to the store 3, the work equipment wireless terminal 9 of the delivered tractor 2 can be used (wireless transmission / reception provided in the store 3). Ready to wirelessly communicate with the device 233). For example, a salesperson of the store 3 turns on the power of the work machine wireless terminal 9.

管理サーバ6は、所定のトラクタ2(作業機用無線端末9)に対して応答するように応答信号(応答の要求)を店舗3の無線用送受信器233に送信する。そうすると、無線用送受信器233を介して作業機用無線端末9に応答指令が送信されることになる。 Note that the method for making the workequipment wireless terminal 9 ready to use is not limited to the method of turning on the power, but the setting is made to enable the network 8 between the wireless transceiver 233 and the work equipment wireless terminal 9. Or other methods may be used.
Themanagement server 6 transmits a response signal (response request) to the radio transceiver 233 of the store 3 so as to respond to a predetermined tractor 2 (work machine radio terminal 9).

ここで、作業機用無線端末9が無線用送受信器233と無線通信を行える状態、即ち、応答信号を受信できる状態であれば、作業機用無線端末9は応答信号を受信し、無線用送受信器233に応答の要求に対する返答をする。無線用送受信器233は、作業機用無線端末9からの返答を管理サーバ6に通知する。管理サーバ6は、作業機用無線端末9から返答が来ると、返答のあった作業機用無線端末9に販売未完了信号S1を送信する。
Here, if the work equipment wireless terminal 9 can perform wireless communication with the wireless transmitter / receiver 233, that is, can receive a response signal, the work equipment wireless terminal 9 receives the response signal and transmits / receives the wireless signal. A response to the response request is sent to the device 233. The wireless transceiver 233 notifies the management server 6 of a response from the work machine wireless terminal 9. When a response is received from the work machine wireless terminal 9, the management server 6 transmits a sales incomplete signal S 1 to the work machine wireless terminal 9 that has responded.
このようにすれば、店舗3へのトラクタ2の納品が完了したこと(納品完了)を、作業機用無線端末9を使えるようにするだけで、管理サーバ6に知らせることができ、非常に簡単に販売未完了信号S1をトラクタ2(第1制御装置20)に入力させることができる。
図5は、店舗3にトラクタ2を納品した後、店舗用端末7から販売状況が通知されたときに当該販売状況のうち販売未完了であるトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末9に対して販売未完了信号S1を管理サーバ6によって送信する例を示したものである。 In this way, it is possible to notify themanagement server 6 that the delivery of the tractor 2 to the store 3 has been completed (delivery completed) by simply using the wireless terminal 9 for the work machine, which is very simple. The sales incomplete signal S1 can be input to the tractor 2 (first control device 20).
FIG. 5 shows that after thetractor 2 is delivered to the store 3, when the sales status is notified from the store terminal 7, the sales status is sold to the work equipment wireless terminal 9 of the tractor 2 that is not yet sold. An example in which the incomplete signal S1 is transmitted by the management server 6 is shown.
図5は、店舗3にトラクタ2を納品した後、店舗用端末7から販売状況が通知されたときに当該販売状況のうち販売未完了であるトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末9に対して販売未完了信号S1を管理サーバ6によって送信する例を示したものである。 In this way, it is possible to notify the
FIG. 5 shows that after the
具体的には、トラクタ2が製造会社4から店舗3に送られてきて店舗3に納品されると、上述したように店舗3の販売員などが店舗用端末7等を用いて管理サーバ6に保存されているトラクタ2の納品完了を示す情報を更新する(納品「×」から納品「○」へ)。
その後、店舗用端末7を用いて店舗3における販売状況が通知されると、管理サーバ6は販売状況が通知された時点において、未だ販売が完了していないトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末9に対して販売未完了信号S1を送信する。 Specifically, when thetractor 2 is sent from the manufacturing company 4 to the store 3 and delivered to the store 3, as described above, the salesperson of the store 3 uses the store terminal 7 and the like to the management server 6 The stored information indicating completion of delivery of the tractor 2 is updated (from delivery “×” to delivery “O”).
Thereafter, when the sales status at thestore 3 is notified using the store terminal 7, the management server 6 notifies the work equipment wireless terminal 9 of the tractor 2 that has not been sold yet when the sales status is notified. A sales incomplete signal S1 is transmitted.
その後、店舗用端末7を用いて店舗3における販売状況が通知されると、管理サーバ6は販売状況が通知された時点において、未だ販売が完了していないトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末9に対して販売未完了信号S1を送信する。 Specifically, when the
Thereafter, when the sales status at the
例えば、製造番号「10005」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2や製造番号「10006」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2の2台の納品が完了したとする。
そして、2台のトラクタのうち、製造番号「10006」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2が販売完了したため、この2台のトラクタ2の販売状況が管理サーバ6に通知されたとする。このとき、製造番号「10006」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2は販売完了であるが、製造番号「10005」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2は未販売であるため、販売状況が通知された時点で、管理サーバ6は、製造番号「10005」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2に対して販売未完了信号S1を送信する。 For example, it is assumed that delivery of thetractor 2 with the production number “10005” and the model “M135A” and the tractor 2 with the production number “10006” and the model “M135A” is completed.
It is assumed that, of the two tractors, the sales number of thetractor 2 having the production number “10006” and the model “M135A” has been sold, and the sales status of the two tractors 2 is notified to the management server 6. At this time, the sales of the tractor 2 with the production number “10006” and the model “M135A” has been completed, but the tractor 2 with the production number “10005” and the model “M135A” has not been sold. Then, the management server 6 transmits a sales incomplete signal S1 to the tractor 2 having the production number “10005” and the model “M135A”.
そして、2台のトラクタのうち、製造番号「10006」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2が販売完了したため、この2台のトラクタ2の販売状況が管理サーバ6に通知されたとする。このとき、製造番号「10006」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2は販売完了であるが、製造番号「10005」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2は未販売であるため、販売状況が通知された時点で、管理サーバ6は、製造番号「10005」,機種「M135A」のトラクタ2に対して販売未完了信号S1を送信する。 For example, it is assumed that delivery of the
It is assumed that, of the two tractors, the sales number of the
このようにすれば、店舗3へのトラクタ2の納品完了後、販売状況が変化したときに、未販売のトラクタ2に対してのみ販売未完了信号S1を送信することができる。その結果、納品完了直後に販売が完了したトラクタ2に対しては販売未完了信号S1は送信されることがないため、納品完了直後に売れたトラクタ2を即座に動かすことができる。
上述した実施形態では、販売未完了信号S1が第1制御装置20に入力されたときにロック手段30を働かせるようにしているが、これに代え、下記に示すように、管理サーバ6、無線用送受信器233、作業機用無線端末9及び第1制御装置20の動作を変更してもよい。
例えば、管理サーバ6内の納品完了を示す情報が納品完了済に書き換えられたとき、管理サーバ6は、販売未完了信号S1と共に納品完了となったトラクタ2の固有情報を無線用送受信器233に送信する。そして、無線用送受信器233は、管理サーバ6から販売未完了信号S1及びトラクタ2の固有情報を受信すると、複数の作業機用無線端末9に販売未完了信号S1及びトラクタ2の固有情報を送信する。作業機用無線端末9は、販売未完了信号S1及びトラクタ2の固有情報を第1制御装置20に出力する。 In this way, after the delivery of thetractor 2 to the store 3 is completed, the sales incomplete signal S1 can be transmitted only to the unsold tractor 2 when the sales situation changes. As a result, since the sales incomplete signal S1 is not transmitted to the tractor 2 which has been sold immediately after the delivery is completed, the tractor 2 sold immediately after the delivery is completed can be moved immediately.
In the embodiment described above, the lock means 30 is activated when the sales incomplete signal S1 is input to thefirst control device 20, but instead, the management server 6 and the wireless You may change operation | movement of the transmitter / receiver 233, the radio | wireless terminal 9 for work machines, and the 1st control apparatus 20. FIG.
For example, when the information indicating delivery completion in themanagement server 6 is rewritten to delivery completed, the management server 6 sends the unique information of the tractor 2 that has been delivered together with the sales incomplete signal S1 to the wireless transceiver 233. Send. When the wireless transceiver 233 receives the sales incomplete signal S1 and the unique information of the tractor 2 from the management server 6, the wireless transceiver 233 transmits the sales incomplete signal S1 and the unique information of the tractor 2 to the plurality of work equipment wireless terminals 9. To do. The work machine radio terminal 9 outputs the sales incomplete signal S1 and the unique information of the tractor 2 to the first control device 20.
上述した実施形態では、販売未完了信号S1が第1制御装置20に入力されたときにロック手段30を働かせるようにしているが、これに代え、下記に示すように、管理サーバ6、無線用送受信器233、作業機用無線端末9及び第1制御装置20の動作を変更してもよい。
例えば、管理サーバ6内の納品完了を示す情報が納品完了済に書き換えられたとき、管理サーバ6は、販売未完了信号S1と共に納品完了となったトラクタ2の固有情報を無線用送受信器233に送信する。そして、無線用送受信器233は、管理サーバ6から販売未完了信号S1及びトラクタ2の固有情報を受信すると、複数の作業機用無線端末9に販売未完了信号S1及びトラクタ2の固有情報を送信する。作業機用無線端末9は、販売未完了信号S1及びトラクタ2の固有情報を第1制御装置20に出力する。 In this way, after the delivery of the
In the embodiment described above, the lock means 30 is activated when the sales incomplete signal S1 is input to the
For example, when the information indicating delivery completion in the
第1制御装置20は内部に保存した固有情報と作業機用無線端末9から送られてきた固有情報とを照合して作業機用無線端末9から送られてきた固有情報が当該第1制御装置20に保存されたものであるとき、販売未完了信号S1の入力は有効であるとし、ロック手段30を働かせる。ここで、第1制御装置20は内部に保存した固有情報と作業機用無線端末9から送られてきた固有情報とを照合して照合が不成立であるときは、第1制御装置20は、販売未完了信号S1の入力は無効であるとし、ロック手段30を働かせない(通常制御を停止しない)。
The first control device 20 collates the unique information stored therein with the unique information sent from the work equipment wireless terminal 9, and the unique information sent from the work equipment wireless terminal 9 becomes the first control device. If it is stored in 20, the input of the sales incomplete signal S1 is valid and the lock means 30 is activated. Here, when the first control device 20 collates the unique information stored therein with the unique information sent from the work equipment wireless terminal 9 and the collation is not established, the first control device 20 The input of the incomplete signal S1 is invalid, and the lock unit 30 is not activated (normal control is not stopped).
上述した実施形態では、第1制御装置20のロック手段30が働いた場合、ロック信号が保持されるようになっているが、ロック信号の保持を解除する(通常制御の停止の解除、通常制御のロックの解除)は、どのような方法であってもよく特に限定されないが下記に示す方法が好ましい。
まず、管理サーバ6内の管理販売状況が未販売から販売済に書き換えられた際、管理サーバ6がロック解除信号を、販売済となったトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末9に送信する。そして、第1制御装置20が作業機用無線端末9を介してロック解除信号を受信すると、ロック信号の消去、即ち、ロック手段30の働きを停止する。 In the embodiment described above, the lock signal is held when the locking means 30 of thefirst control device 20 is activated. However, the lock signal is released (cancellation of normal control stop, normal control). The method for releasing the lock is not particularly limited, and the following method is preferable.
First, when the managed sales status in themanagement server 6 is rewritten from unsold to sold, the management server 6 transmits a lock release signal to the work equipment wireless terminal 9 of the tractor 2 that has been sold. When the first control device 20 receives the lock release signal via the work machine radio terminal 9, the lock signal is deleted, that is, the operation of the lock means 30 is stopped.
まず、管理サーバ6内の管理販売状況が未販売から販売済に書き換えられた際、管理サーバ6がロック解除信号を、販売済となったトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末9に送信する。そして、第1制御装置20が作業機用無線端末9を介してロック解除信号を受信すると、ロック信号の消去、即ち、ロック手段30の働きを停止する。 In the embodiment described above, the lock signal is held when the locking means 30 of the
First, when the managed sales status in the
或いは、管理サーバ6内の管理販売状況が販売済に書き換えられたとき、管理サーバ6は、ロック解除信号と共に販売済となったトラクタ2の固有情報を無線用送受信器233を介して作業機用無線端末9に送信する。作業機用無線端末9は、ロック解除信号と共に固有情報を第1制御装置20に出力する。第1制御装置20は内部に保存した固有情報と作業機用無線端末9から送られてきた固有情報とを照合して作業機用無線端末9から送られてきた固有情報が当該第1制御装置20に保存されたものであるとき、ロック解除信号を有効であるとして受け入れ、通常制御のロックを解除する。第1制御装置20は内部に保存した固有情報と作業機用無線端末9から送られてきた固有情報とを照合して照合が不成立であるときは、第1制御装置20は、ロック解除信号は無効であるとし、通常制御のロックを解除しない。
Alternatively, when the management sales situation in the management server 6 is rewritten to sold, the management server 6 uses the wireless transceiver 233 to transmit the unique information of the sold tractor 2 together with the lock release signal. Transmit to the wireless terminal 9. The work machine wireless terminal 9 outputs unique information to the first control device 20 together with the lock release signal. The first control device 20 collates the unique information stored therein with the unique information sent from the work equipment wireless terminal 9, and the unique information sent from the work equipment wireless terminal 9 becomes the first control device. If it is stored at 20, the lock release signal is accepted as valid, and the normal control lock is released. When the first control device 20 collates the unique information stored therein with the unique information sent from the work equipment wireless terminal 9 and the collation is not established, the first control device 20 It is assumed to be invalid and the normal control lock is not released.
さらには、トラクタ2の販売終了後(引き渡し時)に店舗3に所属する販売員が、作業機2を操作する(作業機2に搭載した表示装置を操作して特別な操作を行う)ことによってロック信号を消去するようにしてもよい。また、販売員が第1制御装置20にアクセスできる端末を用意して、この端末によって特別なコード(パスワードなど)を第1制御装置20に送信し、第1制御装置20が特別なコードが入力されたときにロック信号を消去するようにしてもよい。
Further, after the sale of the tractor 2 is finished (at the time of delivery), a salesperson belonging to the store 3 operates the work implement 2 (operates a display device mounted on the work implement 2 to perform a special operation). The lock signal may be erased. In addition, a terminal that allows the salesperson to access the first control device 20 is prepared, and a special code (such as a password) is transmitted to the first control device 20 by this terminal, and the first control device 20 inputs the special code. When this is done, the lock signal may be erased.

店舗3には、トラクタ2を展示するための保管場所(作業機展示エリア)Eが決められ、当該作業機展示エリアEにトラクタ2が並べられている。また、店舗3には、例えば、パーソナルコンピュータで構成された店舗用端末4が設置されている。この店舗用端末4は、トラクタ2の販売状況など様々な管理を行うもので、例えば、店舗3の作業機展示エリアEに置いたトラクタ2が売れたか否かをコンピュータ上で管理することができるようになっている。
In the store 3, a storage place (work machine display area) E for displaying the tractor 2 is determined, and the tractor 2 is arranged in the work machine display area E. Further, in the store 3, for example, a store terminal 4 composed of a personal computer is installed. The store terminal 4 performs various management such as the sales status of the tractor 2. For example, the store terminal 4 can manage on the computer whether or not the tractor 2 placed in the work machine display area E of the store 3 has been sold. It is like that.
さらに、作業機展示エリアE内には、トラクタ2に搭載した作業機用無線端末109と無線通信を行うための無線用送受信器133が設けられている。無線用送受信器133について、上述した無線用送受信器33と共通部分は説明を省略する。なお、作業機展示エリアEの周囲(例えば、店舗3の建物中)に無線用送受信器133を設置してもよい。また、作業機用無線端末109と無線用送受信器133との無線通信範囲は限定されないが、作業機展示エリアEと略同じ大きさに設定することが好ましい。例えば、作業機展示エリアE内に作業機用無線端末109を搭載したトラクタが何処にいても、当該作業機用無線端末109の電波が無線用送受信器133に届くように設定しておくことが好ましい。無線通信範囲は、例えば、500m以下に設定することが好ましい。
Furthermore, in the work implement display area E, a wireless transceiver 133 for performing wireless communication with the work implement wireless terminal 109 mounted on the tractor 2 is provided.

Further, the wireless communication range between the work machine wireless terminal 109 and the wireless transceiver 133 is not limited, but is preferably set to be approximately the same size as the work machine display area E. For example, the work machine wireless terminal 109 may be set so that the radio wave of the work machine wireless terminal 109 reaches the wireless transceiver 133 regardless of where the tractor equipped with the work machine wireless terminal 109 is located in the work machine display area E. preferable. The wireless communication range is preferably set to 500 m or less, for example.
図8に示す作業機の動作制限システム1Bでは、作業機展示エリアE内にトラクタ2があるときは、トラクタ2は通常通り動かすことができるようにし、トラクタ2の販売が完了していないのにトラクタ2が作業機展示エリアE内から出てしまうと、トラクタ2の動作を制限することができるようにしている。
この作業機の動作制限システム1Bは、上述したように、無線用送受信器133と、作業機2に設けられ且つ当該作業機2の動作を制御する制御装置(第1制御装置120)と、作業機2に設けられ且つ無線用送受信器133と無線通信を行う作業機用無線端末109とを備えている。 In the work machineoperation restriction system 1B shown in FIG. 8, when the tractor 2 is in the work machine display area E, the tractor 2 can be moved as usual, and the sale of the tractor 2 is not completed. When the tractor 2 comes out of the work implement display area E, the operation of the tractor 2 can be restricted.
As described above, the work machineoperation restriction system 1B includes a wireless transceiver 133, a control device (first control device 120) that is provided in the work machine 2 and controls the operation of the work machine 2.

As described above, the work machine
図9に示すように、トラクタ2は、例えば、3つの制御装置(第1制御装置120、第2制御装置121、第3制御装置122)を備えている。以下、第1制御装置120、第2制御装置121及び第3制御装置122について、上述した第1制御装置20、第2制御装置21及び第3制御装置22と共通部分は説明を省略して異なる構成について説明する。
第1制御装置120には、外部からの信号(例えば、トラクタ2の販売が完了していないことを示す販売未完了信号)を入力するための外部入力手段123が設けられている。この外部入力手段123は、赤外線(赤外線データ)を入力するもの、ICカードが差し込まれるもの、USB(Universal Serial Bus)メモリが接続されるもの、IEEE1394の端子が接続されるもの、SDカードが接続されるもの、どのようなものであってもよい。また、第1制御装置120には、外部からの信号を保存する信号保存部125が設けられている。
信号保存部125は、第1制御装置120の内部に設けられた内部メモリとされ、販売未完了信号S1を保持することができるようになっている。なお、外部入力手段123が外部の記憶媒体(メディア)を受け付けるようなものである場合は、当該外部入力手段123にて受け付けられた記憶媒体を信号保存部125としてもよい。信号保存部125には、トラクタ2を特定するための固有情報が保存されている。 As shown in FIG. 9, thetractor 2 includes, for example, three control devices (a first control device 120, a second control device 121, and a third control device 122). Hereinafter, the first control device 120, the second control device 121, and the third control device 122 are different from the above-described first control device 20, the second control device 21, and the third control device 22 by omitting the description. The configuration will be described.
Thefirst control device 120 is provided with external input means 123 for inputting a signal from the outside (for example, a sales incomplete signal indicating that sales of the tractor 2 are not completed). This external input means 123 inputs infrared rays (infrared data), inserts an IC card, connects to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory, connects to an IEEE 1394 terminal, and connects to an SD card. Whatever is done, it can be anything. The first control device 120 is provided with a signal storage unit 125 that stores an external signal.
Thesignal storage unit 125 is an internal memory provided in the first control device 120, and can hold a sales incomplete signal S1. In the case where the external input unit 123 accepts an external storage medium (media), the storage medium received by the external input unit 123 may be used as the signal storage unit 125. The signal storage unit 125 stores unique information for specifying the tractor 2.
第1制御装置120には、外部からの信号(例えば、トラクタ2の販売が完了していないことを示す販売未完了信号)を入力するための外部入力手段123が設けられている。この外部入力手段123は、赤外線(赤外線データ)を入力するもの、ICカードが差し込まれるもの、USB(Universal Serial Bus)メモリが接続されるもの、IEEE1394の端子が接続されるもの、SDカードが接続されるもの、どのようなものであってもよい。また、第1制御装置120には、外部からの信号を保存する信号保存部125が設けられている。
信号保存部125は、第1制御装置120の内部に設けられた内部メモリとされ、販売未完了信号S1を保持することができるようになっている。なお、外部入力手段123が外部の記憶媒体(メディア)を受け付けるようなものである場合は、当該外部入力手段123にて受け付けられた記憶媒体を信号保存部125としてもよい。信号保存部125には、トラクタ2を特定するための固有情報が保存されている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the
The
The
このような第1制御装置120には、トラクタ2の通常制御をロックする(通常の制御を制限する)ロック手段130が設けられている。このロック手段130は、後述するようにトラクタ2が販売未完了であることを示す販売未完了信号S1が信号保存部125に保存されている状態で、作業機用無線端末109の受信強度が所定値以下であるとき、上述したロック手段30と同様に通常制御を行わないというものである。ロック手段130は、第1制御装置120に書き込まれたプログラム等から構成されている。
The first control device 120 is provided with a lock unit 130 that locks the normal control of the tractor 2 (limits normal control). As will be described later, the lock unit 130 is configured so that the reception intensity of the work equipment wireless terminal 109 is predetermined in a state where the sales incomplete signal S1 indicating that the tractor 2 is incomplete is stored in the signal storage unit 125. When the value is equal to or less than the value, the normal control is not performed as in the case of the lock unit 30 described above. The lock unit 130 is configured by a program or the like written in the first control device 120.
なお、販売未完了信号S1が信号保存部125に保存されていない状態(ブランク)では、作業機用無線端末109の受信強度が所定値以下になっても、ロック手段130は働かず、第1制御装置120は通常通り制御を行う。
さらに、第1制御装置120には作業機用無線端末109が接続されている。作業機用無線端末109は、店舗3に設置した無線用送受信器133と通信可能となっている。作業機用無線端末109は、例えば、電波を発信するアクティブ型の無線端末(無線機)とされている。作業機用無線端末109には、無線用送受信器133から送信された電波の受信強度(受信信号強度)を測定する信号測定部が設けられ、信号測定部にて測定した受信強度は第1制御装置120に入力されるようになっている。 Note that in a state where the sales incomplete signal S1 is not stored in the signal storage unit 125 (blank), thelock unit 130 does not operate even if the reception intensity of the work equipment wireless terminal 109 is equal to or lower than a predetermined value, and the first The control device 120 performs control as usual.
Furthermore, a workmachine wireless terminal 109 is connected to the first control device 120. The work machine wireless terminal 109 can communicate with a wireless transceiver 133 installed in the store 3. The work machine wireless terminal 109 is, for example, an active wireless terminal (radio device) that transmits radio waves. The work machine radio terminal 109 is provided with a signal measurement unit that measures the reception intensity (reception signal intensity) of the radio wave transmitted from the radio transceiver 133, and the reception intensity measured by the signal measurement unit is a first control. It is input to the device 120.
さらに、第1制御装置120には作業機用無線端末109が接続されている。作業機用無線端末109は、店舗3に設置した無線用送受信器133と通信可能となっている。作業機用無線端末109は、例えば、電波を発信するアクティブ型の無線端末(無線機)とされている。作業機用無線端末109には、無線用送受信器133から送信された電波の受信強度(受信信号強度)を測定する信号測定部が設けられ、信号測定部にて測定した受信強度は第1制御装置120に入力されるようになっている。 Note that in a state where the sales incomplete signal S1 is not stored in the signal storage unit 125 (blank), the

図10は、販売未完了信号S1の入力から盗難防止を行うまでの流れを示したものである。図10に示すように、まず、製造会社から店舗3にトラクタ2を納品し、トラクタ2を作業機展示エリアEに置く。また、店舗3の販売員が赤外線通信などの外部入力手段123を用いて販売未完了信号S1を、作業機展示エリアEに置く作業機2の第1制御装置120の信号保存部125に入力する。即ち、店舗3の作業機展示エリアEに置いた作業機2の第1制御装置120に販売未完了信号S1を保存させておく。
FIG. 10 shows a flow from input of the sales incomplete signal S1 to prevention of theft. As shown in FIG. 10, first, the tractor 2 is delivered from the manufacturing company to the store 3, and the tractor 2 is placed in the work implement display area E. In addition, the salesperson of the store 3 inputs the sales incomplete signal S1 to the signal storage unit 125 of the first control device 120 of the work machine 2 placed in the work machine display area E using the external input means 123 such as infrared communication. . That is, the sales non-completion signal S <b> 1 is stored in the first control device 120 of the work machine 2 placed in the work machine display area E of the store 3.
加えて、作業機展示エリアEに置いた作業機2において、当該作業機2に搭載した作業機用無線端末109と店舗3(作業機展示エリアE)に置いた無線用送受信器133との通信を定期的(例えば、数分毎、1日毎、1週間毎)に行わせる。
さて、このような状態において、作業機展示エリアEに置かれた作業機2を動かし、作業機展示エリアEから外部へ持ち運びを試みたとする。作業機展示エリアE内に作業機2があり、当該作業機2の作業機用無線端末109と無線用送受信器133との距離が近いときは、作業機用無線端末109における受信信号強度は強い。作業機2を作業機展示エリアE外に出してしまうと、作業機用無線端末109と無線用送受信器133との距離が遠くなるため、作業機用無線端末109における受信信号強度は弱くなる(低下する)。 In addition, in thework machine 2 placed in the work machine display area E, communication between the work machine wireless terminal 109 mounted on the work machine 2 and the wireless transceiver 133 placed in the store 3 (work machine display area E). On a regular basis (for example, every few minutes, every day, every week).
Now, in such a state, it is assumed that thework machine 2 placed in the work machine display area E is moved and is attempted to be carried from the work machine display area E to the outside. When there is a work implement 2 in the work implement display area E and the distance between the work implement wireless terminal 109 of the work implement 2 and the radio transceiver 133 is short, the received signal strength at the work implement radio terminal 109 is strong. . If the work implement 2 is taken out of the work implement display area E, the distance between the work implement radio terminal 109 and the radio transceiver 133 is increased, and thus the received signal strength at the work implement radio terminal 109 is weakened ( descend).
さて、このような状態において、作業機展示エリアEに置かれた作業機2を動かし、作業機展示エリアEから外部へ持ち運びを試みたとする。作業機展示エリアE内に作業機2があり、当該作業機2の作業機用無線端末109と無線用送受信器133との距離が近いときは、作業機用無線端末109における受信信号強度は強い。作業機2を作業機展示エリアE外に出してしまうと、作業機用無線端末109と無線用送受信器133との距離が遠くなるため、作業機用無線端末109における受信信号強度は弱くなる(低下する)。 In addition, in the
Now, in such a state, it is assumed that the
ここで、例えば、受信信号強度が低下して受信信号強度が所定値以下になると、作業機2の第1制御装置120のロック手段130が働く。そして、ロック手段130が働くと、例えば、第1制御装置120は、アクセルペダルの操作量が入力されても第2制御装置121に制御指令を出力せず、第2制御装置121への通常制御を行わない。つまり、第1制御装置120は、内部にロック手段130が働くと作業機2への通常制御をロックして、上述したようにエンジン11を停止したり、エンジン11が掛かっていてもアクセルペダルに応じて速度やエンジン回転が上がらないようにする。
Here, for example, when the received signal strength decreases and the received signal strength falls below a predetermined value, the locking means 130 of the first control device 120 of the work machine 2 operates. When the locking means 130 is activated, for example, the first control device 120 does not output a control command to the second control device 121 even when an operation amount of the accelerator pedal is input, and normal control to the second control device 121 is performed. Do not do. In other words, the first control device 120 locks the normal control to the work implement 2 when the locking means 130 is activated therein, and stops the engine 11 as described above, or even if the engine 11 is running, Correspondingly, the speed and engine speed should not be increased.
なお、受信信号強度が所定値以下というのは、作業機2が作業機展示エリアE外に出ているか否か、又は、作業機2が作業機展示エリアEと外部との境界に位置しているか否かが分かるようにするために設定するものであり、具体的な数値は、適宜設定される。言い換えれば、ロック手段130を働かせるための受信信号強度の設定は、作業機2が作業機展示エリアE外に出て作業機用無線端末109と無線用送受信器133との無線が途絶えたときの値であってもよいし、作業機2が作業機展示エリアEと外部との境界に位置しているときの値であってもよい。
Note that the received signal strength is equal to or less than a predetermined value because the work implement 2 is out of the work implement display area E or the work implement 2 is located at the boundary between the work implement display area E and the outside. It is set so that it can be determined whether or not there is a specific numerical value. In other words, the setting of the received signal strength for operating the lock means 130 is performed when the work implement 2 goes out of the work implement display area E and the radio between the work implement radio terminal 109 and the radio transceiver 133 is interrupted. The value may be a value, or may be a value when the work machine 2 is located at the boundary between the work machine display area E and the outside.
作業機の動作制限システム1Bによれば、無線用送受信器133と、作業機2に設けられ且つ当該作業機2の動作を制御する第1制御装置120と、作業機2に設けられ且つ無線用送受信器133と無線通信を行う作業機用無線端末109とを備え、第1制御装置120には、販売未完了信号S1を保存する信号保存部125が設けられており、第1制御装置120は、信号保存部125に販売未完了信号S1が保存されている状態で作業機用無線端末109の受信信号強度が所定値以下となったときに作業機への通常制御を制限するようになっている。
According to the work machine operation restriction system 1B, the wireless transmitter / receiver 133, the first control device 120 provided in the work machine 2 and controlling the operation of the work machine 2, and the work machine 2 provided for wireless use. The work machine wireless terminal 109 that performs wireless communication with the transceiver 133 is provided, and the first control device 120 is provided with a signal storage unit 125 that stores the sales incomplete signal S1. When the received signal strength of the wireless terminal for work implement 109 becomes a predetermined value or less in a state where the sales incompletion signal S1 is stored in the signal storage unit 125, normal control to the work implement is limited. Yes.
これによれば、作業機展示エリアEなどの保管場所に置かれている販売未完了の作業機2を仮に盗難をするという目的で作業機展示エリアEから別の場所へ移したとしても、作業機2の動作が制限されることから通常に動かすことができない。
したがって、作業機2を作業機展示エリアEから盗み出しても作業機2が通常通り動かないため、そのことが抑止力となり、作業機2の盗難防止を図ることができる。 According to this, even if theunsold work machine 2 placed in a storage place such as the work machine display area E is moved from the work machine display area E to another place for the purpose of theft, Since the operation of the machine 2 is limited, it cannot be moved normally.
Therefore, even if thework machine 2 is stolen from the work machine display area E, the work machine 2 does not move as usual, which serves as a deterrent and can prevent the work machine 2 from being stolen.
したがって、作業機2を作業機展示エリアEから盗み出しても作業機2が通常通り動かないため、そのことが抑止力となり、作業機2の盗難防止を図ることができる。 According to this, even if the
Therefore, even if the
図11は、作業機の動作制限システムの変形例を示している。なお、上述した実施形態と同じ構成は説明を省略する。
図11に示すように、販売未完了信号S1を店舗3に設置した店舗用端末4を用いてトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末109に送信してもよい。詳しくは、店舗用端末4から出力した販売未完了信号S1を無線用送受信器133を介して作業機用無線端末109に送信する。例えば、店舗用端末4に店舗3に納品したトラクタ2の固有情報を保存しておき、各トラクタ2毎に納品が完了したか否かが分かる納品状況も保存しておく。 FIG. 11 shows a modification of the work machine operation restriction system. The description of the same configuration as that of the above-described embodiment is omitted.
As shown in FIG. 11, the sales incompletion signal S <b> 1 may be transmitted to the workmachine wireless terminal 109 of the tractor 2 using the store terminal 4 installed in the store 3. Specifically, the sales incompletion signal S <b> 1 output from the store terminal 4 is transmitted to the work machine radio terminal 109 via the radio transceiver 133. For example, the unique information of the tractor 2 delivered to the store 3 is stored in the store terminal 4, and the delivery status that indicates whether or not the delivery is completed for each tractor 2 is also stored.
図11に示すように、販売未完了信号S1を店舗3に設置した店舗用端末4を用いてトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末109に送信してもよい。詳しくは、店舗用端末4から出力した販売未完了信号S1を無線用送受信器133を介して作業機用無線端末109に送信する。例えば、店舗用端末4に店舗3に納品したトラクタ2の固有情報を保存しておき、各トラクタ2毎に納品が完了したか否かが分かる納品状況も保存しておく。 FIG. 11 shows a modification of the work machine operation restriction system. The description of the same configuration as that of the above-described embodiment is omitted.
As shown in FIG. 11, the sales incompletion signal S <b> 1 may be transmitted to the work
そして、店舗用端末4では納品状況を書き換えることができるようにしておき、作業機2における店舗3への納品が完了して納品状況が納品未から納品済に書き換えられたとき(納品完了後)に、納品完了となったトラクタ2に対して店舗用端末4から販売未完了信号S1を送信する。
変形例の作業機2の動作制限システムでは、店舗3には無線用送受信器133に販売未完了信号S1を送信する店舗用端末4が設けられ、無線用送受信器133は、販売未完了信号S1を作業機用無線端末109に送信するように構成され、作業機用無線端末109は、第1制御装置120に販売未完了信号S1を出力するように構成され、信号保存部125は第1制御装置120に販売未完了信号S1が入力されたときに当該販売未完了信号S1を保存するように構成されている。 Then, the delivery status can be rewritten at thestore terminal 4, and the delivery to the store 3 in the work machine 2 is completed and the delivery status is rewritten from undelivered to delivered (after delivery is completed). In addition, a sales incomplete signal S1 is transmitted from the store terminal 4 to the tractor 2 which has been delivered.
In the operation restriction system for thework machine 2 according to the modified example, the store 3 is provided with a store terminal 4 that transmits a sales incompletion signal S1 to the radio transceiver 133, and the radio transceiver 133 receives the sales incompletion signal S1. Is transmitted to the work machine radio terminal 109, the work machine radio terminal 109 is configured to output a sales incomplete signal S1 to the first control device 120, and the signal storage unit 125 performs the first control. When the sales incomplete signal S1 is input to the device 120, the sales incomplete signal S1 is stored.
変形例の作業機2の動作制限システムでは、店舗3には無線用送受信器133に販売未完了信号S1を送信する店舗用端末4が設けられ、無線用送受信器133は、販売未完了信号S1を作業機用無線端末109に送信するように構成され、作業機用無線端末109は、第1制御装置120に販売未完了信号S1を出力するように構成され、信号保存部125は第1制御装置120に販売未完了信号S1が入力されたときに当該販売未完了信号S1を保存するように構成されている。 Then, the delivery status can be rewritten at the
In the operation restriction system for the
これによれば、例えば、店舗用端末4を用いて店舗3に置いた作業機2に対し販売未完了信号S1を送信することができるため、第1制御装置120(信号保存部125)に販売未完了信号S1を保存させる作業が非常に楽である。
上述した実施の形態では、一旦、第1制御装置120(信号保存部125)に保存された販売未完了信号S1を消去する方法については説明していないが、例えば、トラクタ2の販売終了後(引き渡し時)に店舗3に所属する販売員が、作業機2を操作する(作業機2に搭載した表示装置を操作して特別な操作を行う)ことによって販売未完了信号S1を消去するようにしてもよい。また、販売員が第1制御装置120にアクセスできる端末を用意して、この端末によって特別なコード(パスワードなど)を第1制御装置120に送信し、第1制御装置120が特別なコードが入力されたときに販売未完了信号S1を消去するようにしてもよい。 According to this, for example, since the sales incomplete signal S1 can be transmitted to thework machine 2 placed in the store 3 using the store terminal 4, it is sold to the first control device 120 (signal storage unit 125). The work of storing the incomplete signal S1 is very easy.
In the above-described embodiment, a method for erasing the sales incomplete signal S1 stored in the first control device 120 (signal storage unit 125) is not described. For example, after the sales of thetractor 2 is completed ( The salesperson belonging to the store 3 at the time of delivery) operates the work machine 2 (operates a display device mounted on the work machine 2 to perform a special operation) so that the sales incomplete signal S1 is erased. May be. In addition, a terminal that allows the salesperson to access the first control device 120 is prepared, and a special code (such as a password) is transmitted to the first control device 120 by the terminal, and the first control device 120 inputs the special code. When it is done, the sales incomplete signal S1 may be deleted.
上述した実施の形態では、一旦、第1制御装置120(信号保存部125)に保存された販売未完了信号S1を消去する方法については説明していないが、例えば、トラクタ2の販売終了後(引き渡し時)に店舗3に所属する販売員が、作業機2を操作する(作業機2に搭載した表示装置を操作して特別な操作を行う)ことによって販売未完了信号S1を消去するようにしてもよい。また、販売員が第1制御装置120にアクセスできる端末を用意して、この端末によって特別なコード(パスワードなど)を第1制御装置120に送信し、第1制御装置120が特別なコードが入力されたときに販売未完了信号S1を消去するようにしてもよい。 According to this, for example, since the sales incomplete signal S1 can be transmitted to the
In the above-described embodiment, a method for erasing the sales incomplete signal S1 stored in the first control device 120 (signal storage unit 125) is not described. For example, after the sales of the
図12は、作業機の販売システム図を示している。
この作業機の販売システム1Cでは、作業機2の製造を行う製造会社から作業機2を各店舗3(例えば、店舗A,店舗B)に納品して、各店舗3で作業機2を置いて販売を行うこととなっている。作業機2の販売管理は、製造会社4から委託を受けた販売管理会社5が行う。販売管理会社5には、作業機2の販売管理を行うための管理サーバ206が設置されている。以降、管理サーバ206について、管理サーバ6と共通部分は説明を省略して異なる構成について説明する。加えて、店舗3や店舗用端末7などについても共通部分は説明を省略する。
作業機の動作システム1Cでは、トラクタ2の販売完了前(例えば、トラクタ2を顧客に引き渡す前)では通常通り動かなくしておき、販売終了後(例えば、トラクタ2の引き渡し後)に通常に動くことができるように、トラクタ2の販売前後にわたってトラクタ2の動作について一定の条件を設けることとしている。 FIG. 12 shows a sales system diagram of the work machine.
In this workmachine sales system 1 </ b> C, the work machine 2 is delivered from the manufacturing company that manufactures the work machine 2 to each store 3 (for example, store A, store B), and the work machine 2 is placed at each store 3. It is supposed to sell. Sales management of the work machine 2 is performed by a sales management company 5 entrusted by the manufacturing company 4. The sales management company 5 is provided with a management server 206 for managing the sales of the work machine 2. Hereinafter, the configuration of the management server 206 that is different from that of the management server 6 will be omitted and different configurations will be described. In addition, description of common parts of the store 3 and the store terminal 7 is omitted.
In the workmachine operation system 1C, before the tractor 2 is sold (for example, before the tractor 2 is handed over to the customer), it is not moved as usual, and after the sale is finished (for example, after the tractor 2 is handed over) Therefore, a certain condition is set for the operation of the tractor 2 before and after the sale of the tractor 2.
この作業機の販売システム1Cでは、作業機2の製造を行う製造会社から作業機2を各店舗3(例えば、店舗A,店舗B)に納品して、各店舗3で作業機2を置いて販売を行うこととなっている。作業機2の販売管理は、製造会社4から委託を受けた販売管理会社5が行う。販売管理会社5には、作業機2の販売管理を行うための管理サーバ206が設置されている。以降、管理サーバ206について、管理サーバ6と共通部分は説明を省略して異なる構成について説明する。加えて、店舗3や店舗用端末7などについても共通部分は説明を省略する。
作業機の動作システム1Cでは、トラクタ2の販売完了前(例えば、トラクタ2を顧客に引き渡す前)では通常通り動かなくしておき、販売終了後(例えば、トラクタ2の引き渡し後)に通常に動くことができるように、トラクタ2の販売前後にわたってトラクタ2の動作について一定の条件を設けることとしている。 FIG. 12 shows a sales system diagram of the work machine.
In this work
In the work
作業機の動作システム1Cは、上述したように、トラクタ2の販売管理を行う管理サーバ206と、トラクタ2に設けられて当該トラクタ2の制御を行うと共にトラクタ2の通常制御をロックするロック信号が保持された制御装置(例えば、第1制御装置)と、トラクタ2に設けられ且つネットワーク8を介して管理サーバ206に接続可能な作業用無線端末209とを備えている。
As described above, the work machine operation system 1C includes a management server 206 that manages sales of the tractor 2, and a lock signal that is provided in the tractor 2 to control the tractor 2 and lock the normal control of the tractor 2. The control apparatus (for example, 1st control apparatus) hold | maintained and the work radio | wireless terminal 209 which is provided in the tractor 2 and can be connected to the management server 206 via the network 8 are provided.
図13に示すように、トラクタ2は、例えば、3つの制御装置(第1制御装置220、第2制御装置221、第3制御装置222)を備えている。以下、第1制御装置220、第2制御装置221及び第3制御装置222については、上述した第1制御装置20、120、第2制御装置21、121、第3制御装置22、122と共通部分は説明を省略して異なる構成について説明する。
As shown in FIG. 13, the tractor 2 includes, for example, three control devices (a first control device 220, a second control device 221, and a third control device 222). Hereinafter, the first control device 220, the second control device 221, and the third control device 222 are common to the first control devices 20, 120, the second control devices 21, 121, and the third control devices 22, 122 described above. Will be omitted, and different configurations will be described.
第1制御装置220には、トラクタ2の通常制御をロックするロック信号が保持されている。即ち、製造会社4にてトラクタ2の店舗3への出荷時には、第1制御装置220の内部メモリ225にロック信号(ロックするためのフラグ)が書き込まれている。言い換えれば、トラクタ2が、製造会社4から店舗3へ移動する途中や店舗3への配置が完了するまでは、第1制御装置220にロック信号が書き込まれていることになる。また、内部メモリ225には、当該トラクタ2を特定するための固有情報が保存されている。
The first control device 220 holds a lock signal that locks the normal control of the tractor 2. That is, when the manufacturing company 4 ships the tractor 2 to the store 3, a lock signal (a flag for locking) is written in the internal memory 225 of the first control device 220. In other words, the lock signal is written in the first control device 220 while the tractor 2 is moving from the manufacturing company 4 to the store 3 or until the arrangement at the store 3 is completed. The internal memory 225 stores unique information for specifying the tractor 2.
また、上述した第1制御装置220には作業機用無線端末209が接続されている。この作業機用無線端末209は、店舗3に設置した無線用送受信器233と通信可能となっていて、無線用送受信器233を介して管理サーバ206と相互通信できるようになっている。無線用送受信器233について、上述した無線用送受信器33、133と共通部分は説明を省略する。
Also, the work machine wireless terminal 209 is connected to the first control device 220 described above. The work machine radio terminal 209 can communicate with the radio transceiver 233 installed in the store 3 and can communicate with the management server 206 via the radio transceiver 233. The wireless transceiver 233 will not be described in common with the wireless transceivers 33 and 133 described above.
作業機用無線端末209は、電波を発信するアクティブ型の無線端末(無線機)とされ、例えば、第1制御装置220に保存されたトラクタ2(作業機)の固有情報を外部に送信したり、様々なトラクタ2の情報を外部に送信することができるようになっている。また、作業機用無線端末209は、外部から様々な情報を受信して受信した情報を第1制御装置220に送信することができるようになっている。例えば、作業機用無線端末209は、ロック解除信号S1を受信すると、当該ロック解除信号S1を第1制御装置220に送信する。
以上、このようなトラクタ2では、第1制御装置220にロック信号が保持された状態では、例えば、第1制御装置220は、アクセルペダルの操作量が入力されても第2制御装置221に制御指令を出力せず、上述した実施形態と同様に第2制御装置221への通常制御を行わない。つまり、第1制御装置220は、内部にロック信号が保持された状態では、作業機2への通常制御をロック(制限)して、上述したようにエンジン11が掛からないようにする。 The workmachine radio terminal 209 is an active radio terminal (radio machine) that emits radio waves. For example, the work machine radio terminal 209 transmits the unique information of the tractor 2 (work machine) stored in the first control device 220 to the outside. The information of various tractors 2 can be transmitted to the outside. The work machine wireless terminal 209 can receive various information from the outside and transmit the received information to the first control device 220. For example, when the work machine wireless terminal 209 receives the lock release signal S <b> 1, the work machine wireless terminal 209 transmits the lock release signal S <b> 1 to the first control device 220.
As described above, in such atractor 2, in a state where the lock signal is held in the first control device 220, for example, the first control device 220 controls the second control device 221 even when an operation amount of the accelerator pedal is input. A command is not output and normal control to the 2nd control device 221 is not performed like the embodiment mentioned above. That is, the first control device 220 locks (limits) the normal control to the work machine 2 so that the engine 11 does not start as described above in a state where the lock signal is held therein.
以上、このようなトラクタ2では、第1制御装置220にロック信号が保持された状態では、例えば、第1制御装置220は、アクセルペダルの操作量が入力されても第2制御装置221に制御指令を出力せず、上述した実施形態と同様に第2制御装置221への通常制御を行わない。つまり、第1制御装置220は、内部にロック信号が保持された状態では、作業機2への通常制御をロック(制限)して、上述したようにエンジン11が掛からないようにする。 The work
As described above, in such a
作業機用無線端末209がロック解除信号S1を受信して、当該ロック解除信号S1が第1制御装置220に入力されると、ロック信号による通常制御のロックが解除され、第1制御装置220は、アクセルペダルの操作量に基づいてエンジン11が所定の回転数になるように第2制御装置221に制御指令を出力し、通常制御を行う。
第1制御装置220は、ロック解除信号S1による通常制御のロックの解除を行うと、通常制御のロック解除を保持するようになっている。即ち、第1制御装置220にロック解除信号S1が入力され、ロック解除信号S1の入力によってロックされていた通常制御が1回でも解除されると、通常制御のロック解除は継続的に保持されることになる。 When the workmachine wireless terminal 209 receives the lock release signal S1 and the lock release signal S1 is input to the first controller 220, the lock of the normal control by the lock signal is released, and the first controller 220 Based on the operation amount of the accelerator pedal, a control command is output to the second control device 221 so that the engine 11 has a predetermined rotational speed, and normal control is performed.
Thefirst control device 220 is configured to hold the normal control unlock when the normal control lock is released by the lock release signal S1. That is, when the unlock signal S1 is input to the first control device 220 and the normal control that has been locked by the input of the unlock signal S1 is released even once, the unlock of the normal control is continuously maintained. It will be.
第1制御装置220は、ロック解除信号S1による通常制御のロックの解除を行うと、通常制御のロック解除を保持するようになっている。即ち、第1制御装置220にロック解除信号S1が入力され、ロック解除信号S1の入力によってロックされていた通常制御が1回でも解除されると、通常制御のロック解除は継続的に保持されることになる。 When the work
The
このように、トラクタ2は、ロック解除信号S1が入力されると初めて通常の動作になるが、ロック解除信号S1は、上述した管理サーバ206から送信されることとなっている。例えば、管理サーバ206は、店舗用端末7などの外部端末からの指令に応じてネットワーク8を介して作業機用無線端末209に通常制御のロックを解除するためのロック解除信号S1を送信するロック解除送信手段240が設けられている。
Thus, although the tractor 2 operates normally only when the unlock signal S1 is input, the unlock signal S1 is transmitted from the management server 206 described above. For example, the management server 206 transmits a lock release signal S1 for releasing the normal control lock to the work equipment wireless terminal 209 via the network 8 in response to a command from an external terminal such as the shop terminal 7. Release transmission means 240 is provided.
例えば、店舗用端末7から店舗3における販売状況が管理サーバ206に通知されて、管理サーバ206内の管理販売状況が販売済になると、販売済となったトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末209に対して管理サーバ206がロック解除信号S1を出力する(ロック解除送信手段240によってロック解除信号S1が出力される)。
詳しくは、図2(b)に示すように、管理サーバ206において、店舗A,製造番号「10004」,機種「M135A」の管理販売状況は未販売「×」となっているが、同じ店舗3(店舗A)の店舗用端末7にて管理サーバ206にアクセスすることによって、店舗A,製造番号「10004」,機種「M135A」の管理販売状況が販売済「○」に書き換えられたとする。 For example, when the sales status in thestore 3 is notified from the store terminal 7 to the management server 206 and the management sales status in the management server 206 is already sold, it is sent to the work equipment wireless terminal 209 of the tractor 2 that has been sold. On the other hand, the management server 206 outputs the unlock signal S1 (the unlock signal S1 is output by the unlock transmission means 240).
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2B, in themanagement server 206, the management sales status of the store A, the production number “10004”, and the model “M135A” is not sold “×”, but the same store 3 It is assumed that the management sales status of the store A, the production number “10004”, and the model “M135A” is rewritten to “sold” “O” by accessing the management server 206 at the store terminal 7 of (store A).
詳しくは、図2(b)に示すように、管理サーバ206において、店舗A,製造番号「10004」,機種「M135A」の管理販売状況は未販売「×」となっているが、同じ店舗3(店舗A)の店舗用端末7にて管理サーバ206にアクセスすることによって、店舗A,製造番号「10004」,機種「M135A」の管理販売状況が販売済「○」に書き換えられたとする。 For example, when the sales status in the
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2B, in the
そうすると、管理サーバ206(ロック解除送信手段240)は、まず、店舗Aに設置した無線用送受信器233にロック解除信号S1を送り、無線用送受信器233を介して固有情報が製造番号「10004」及び機種「M135A」となるトラクタ2の作業機用無線端末209にロック解除信号S1を送る。
なお、トラクタ2に搭載した作業機用無線端末209を特定方法する方法は特に限定されない。例えば、作業機用無線端末209に予め無線用アドレス(無線ネットワーク8内におけるアドレスなど)を割り振って、管理サーバ206にトラクタ2の固有情報と無線用アドレスとを関連付けて保存しておき、管理サーバ206がロック解除信号S1を送信するときに固有情報及び通信用情報とを無線用送受信器233に送信することによって、作業機用無線端末209を特定できるようにしてもよい。また、無線用送受信器233側でトラクタ2の固有情報が分かれば作業機用無線端末209を特定できるようにしてもよい。 Then, the management server 206 (unlock transmission means 240) first sends an unlock signal S1 to thewireless transceiver 233 installed in the store A, and the unique information is serial number “10004” via the wireless transceiver 233. And the lock release signal S1 is sent to the work equipment wireless terminal 209 of the tractor 2 of the model “M135A”.
The method for specifying the workequipment wireless terminal 209 mounted on the tractor 2 is not particularly limited. For example, a wireless address (such as an address in the wireless network 8) is allocated to the work machine wireless terminal 209 in advance, and the management server 206 stores the unique information of the tractor 2 and the wireless address in association with each other. By transmitting the unique information and the communication information to the wireless transceiver 233 when the lock release signal S1 is transmitted, the work machine wireless terminal 209 may be identified. Further, if the unique information of the tractor 2 is known on the wireless transceiver 233 side, the work equipment wireless terminal 209 may be specified.
なお、トラクタ2に搭載した作業機用無線端末209を特定方法する方法は特に限定されない。例えば、作業機用無線端末209に予め無線用アドレス(無線ネットワーク8内におけるアドレスなど)を割り振って、管理サーバ206にトラクタ2の固有情報と無線用アドレスとを関連付けて保存しておき、管理サーバ206がロック解除信号S1を送信するときに固有情報及び通信用情報とを無線用送受信器233に送信することによって、作業機用無線端末209を特定できるようにしてもよい。また、無線用送受信器233側でトラクタ2の固有情報が分かれば作業機用無線端末209を特定できるようにしてもよい。 Then, the management server 206 (unlock transmission means 240) first sends an unlock signal S1 to the
The method for specifying the work
下記に示すように、管理サーバ206、無線用送受信器233、作業機用無線端末209及び第1制御装置220の動作を変更してもよい。
例えば、管理サーバ206内の管理販売状況の販売済の書換は、店舗用端末7以外の外部端末によって行ってもよく、或いは、管理サーバ206に設けられた入力装置(例えば、マウス、キーボード等)を用いて書き換えても良い。管理サーバ206内の管理販売状況において販売済に書き換えられたとき、管理サーバ206は、ロック解除信号S1と共に販売済となったトラクタ2の固有情報を無線用送受信器233に送信する。そして、無線用送受信器233は、管理サーバ206からロック解除信号S1及びトラクタ2の固有情報を受信すると、複数の作業機用無線端末209にロック解除信号S1と共に固有情報を送信する。作業機用無線端末209は、ロック解除信号S1と共に固有情報を第1制御装置220に出力する。第1制御装置220は内部に保存した固有情報と作業機用無線端末209から送られてきた固有情報とを照合して作業機用無線端末209から送られてきた固有情報が当該第1制御装置220に保存されたものであるとき、ロック解除信号S1を有効であるとして受け入れ、通常制御のロックを解除する。第1制御装置220は内部に保存した固有情報と作業機用無線端末209から送られてきた固有情報とを照合して照合が不成立であるときは、第1制御装置220は、ロック解除信号S1は無効であるとし、通常制御のロックを解除しない。 As shown below, the operations of themanagement server 206, the wireless transceiver 233, the work equipment wireless terminal 209, and the first control device 220 may be changed.

When the wireless transceiver 233 receives the unlock signal S1 and the unique information of the tractor 2 from the management server 206, the wireless transceiver 233 transmits the unique information together with the unlock signal S1 to the plurality of work equipment wireless terminals 209. The work machine wireless terminal 209 outputs the unique information to the first control device 220 together with the lock release signal S1. The first control device 220 collates the unique information stored therein with the unique information sent from the work machine radio terminal 209, and the unique information sent from the work machine radio terminal 209 is the first control device. If it is stored in 220, the lock release signal S1 is accepted as valid, and the lock of the normal control is released. When the first control device 220 collates the unique information stored therein with the unique information sent from the work machine wireless terminal 209 and the collation is not established, the first control device 220 sends the lock release signal S1. Is invalid and the normal control lock is not released.
