FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of a management device 45, a determination target excavator 30, and a shovel status display device 50 used in the excavator abnormality determination method according to the embodiment.

The excavator 30 includes a vehicle controller 31, a communication device 32, a GPS (global positioning system) receiver 33, a display device 34, and a sensor 35. The sensor 35 measures various operating variables of the excavator. The measured value of the sensor 35 is input to the vehicle controller 31. The operation variables include, for example, operation time, hydraulic pump pressure, cooling water temperature, hydraulic load, operation time, and the like. The vehicle controller 31 transmits the excavator body identification information, the measured values of various driving variables, and the current position information calculated by the GPS receiver 33 from the communication device 32 to the management device 45 via the communication line 40. . Further, the vehicle controller 31 displays various information related to the excavator on the display device 34.

The management device 45 includes a communication device 46, a processing device 47, a storage device 48, and a display device 49. Various information transmitted from the shovel 30 via the communication line 40 is input to the processing device 47 via the communication device 46. The storage device 48 stores a program executed by the processing device 47 and various management information. The processing device 47 performs abnormality determination of the excavator 30 based on the machine body identification information received from the excavator 30, measured values of various operating variables, current position information, and management information stored in the storage device 48. In the abnormality determination process, a reference waveform or the like stored in the storage device 48 is used. The abnormality determination result is output to the display device 49. Further, the processing device 47 transmits the machine body identification information, the current position information, and the abnormality determination result information from the communication device 46 to the excavator state display device 50 via the communication line 40.

The excavator status display device 50 includes a transmission / reception circuit 51, a processing device 52, a storage device 53, a display device 54, and an input device 55. As the excavator status display device 50, for example, a touch panel type tablet terminal is used. In this case, the display device 54 also functions as the input device 55.

FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of a preparation stage of the abnormality determination method according to the embodiment. In the preparation stage, collection of reference waveforms used in the abnormality determination method and various numerical values associated with the reference waveforms are calculated.

In step SA1, the physical quantity of interest measured by the shovel 30 is acquired during the default operation of the shovel 30 in the normal state (FIG. 1). Specifically, the detected value of the target physical quantity detected by the excavator 30 (FIG. 1) is transmitted to the management device 45 via the communication line 40. The default operation means one operation selected from various operations during operation of the excavator.

The default operation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows an example of temporal changes in the boom raising command pilot pressure, the boom lowering command pilot pressure, and the engine speed. When the operation key is turned on at time t1, the engine starts to rotate. The engine speed at this time is about 1000 rpm, for example. When the operator sets the engine speed to 1200 rpm at time t2, the engine speed increases to about 1200 rpm.

When the operator performs a boom raising operation at time t3, a boom raising command pilot pressure is generated. When the operation is stopped at time t4, the boom raising command pilot pressure returns to the initial value. At this time, the engine speed is maintained at 1200 rpm, for example. When the operator performs a boom lowering operation at time t5, a boom lowering command pilot pressure is generated. When the operation is stopped at time t6, the boom lowering command pilot pressure returns to the initial value. Between times t4 and t5, the engine speed increases to about 1800 rpm. The engine speed is automatically adjusted according to the operating condition of the excavator.

One of the idling operation from time t1 to t2, the boom raising operation from time t3 to t4, and the boom lowering operation from time t5 to t6 is selected as the default operation. In addition, a hydraulic relief operation, a turning operation, a forward operation, a backward operation, and the like may be selected as the default operation.

As the physical quantity of interest, for example, the engine speed is adopted. In addition, you may pay attention to the other physical quantity which changes according to the operation of the excavator. For example, as the physical quantity of interest, a hydraulic pump pressure, an operating pressure for controlling the excavator forward, backward, turning, etc., an operating pressure for a hydraulic cylinder for controlling a boom or the like may be employed.

In step SA2 (FIG. 2), a reference waveform that is a time change of the physical quantity of interest is acquired. When the engine speed is adopted as the target physical quantity and the idling operation is selected as the default operation, the temporal change in the engine speed during the period Ta (FIG. 3) during the idling operation is acquired as a reference waveform. When the boom raising operation or the boom lowering operation is selected as the default operation, the engine speed changes over time during the boom raising operation period Tb (FIG. 3) or the boom lowering operation period Tc (FIG. 3), respectively. Obtained as a reference waveform. The length of the period for acquiring the reference waveform is, for example, about 10 seconds. FIG. 4A shows an example of the reference waveform.

In step SA3 (FIG. 2), a plurality of feature amounts are calculated for one reference waveform. The “feature amount” means various statistics that characterize the shape of the waveform. In the above-described embodiment, as a feature amount, an average value (hereinafter referred to as feature amount A), a standard deviation (hereinafter referred to as feature amount B), a maximum peak value (hereinafter referred to as feature amount C), and the number of peaks ( Hereinafter, the maximum amount of signal non-existing time (hereinafter referred to as feature amount E) is calculated.

Referring to FIG. 5, the number of peaks (feature amount D) and the maximum value of signal non-existence time (feature amount E) will be described. FIG. 5 shows an example of the reference waveform. The “number of peaks” is defined as the number of points where the waveform crosses the threshold value Pth0. In the period shown in FIG. 5, the waveform crosses the threshold value Pth0 at the intersections H1 to H4. For this reason, the number of peaks is calculated as four.

The section where the waveform is lower than the threshold value Pth1 is defined as the section where no signal exists. In the example shown in FIG. 5, signal non-existing sections T1 to T4 appear. “Maximum value of signal non-existing time” means the maximum time width among time widths of a plurality of signal non-existing sections. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the time width of the signal non-existing section T3 is adopted as the maximum value of the signal non-existing time. In general, when the waveform has a long period, the maximum signal non-existence time increases.

4B and 4C show examples of the waveform of the physical quantity of interest (engine speed) when an abnormality has occurred. The standard deviation of the waveform shown in FIG. 4B is larger than the standard deviation of the reference waveform shown in FIG. 4A. The maximum value of the signal non-existence time of the waveform shown in FIG. 4C is larger than the maximum value of the signal non-existence time of the reference waveform shown in FIG. 4A.

Steps SA1 to SA3 (FIG. 2) are repeated until a sufficient number of reference waveforms are acquired.

When a sufficient number of reference waveforms are acquired, in step SA4 (FIG. 2), representative values and standard deviations of the plurality of feature quantities calculated for each of the reference waveforms are calculated. As the “representative value”, for example, an average value, a median value, or the like is employed. In step SA5, the reference waveform, feature amount, representative value, and standard deviation are stored in the storage device 48 (FIG. 1).

FIG. 6A shows an example of the feature amount A to feature amount E of each of the plurality of reference waveforms WF (i), and representative values and standard deviations for each feature amount. Here, the parameter i is a natural number. The feature quantity A to feature quantity E of the reference waveform WF (i) are represented by a (i) to e (i), respectively. Representative values (for example, average values) of the feature quantity A to feature quantity E are represented by Xa to Xe, respectively. The standard deviations of the feature amount A to the feature amount E are represented by σa to σe, respectively.

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of the abnormality determination method according to the embodiment. In step SB1, the time change of the detected value of the physical quantity of interest is acquired from the evaluation target shovel during the period in which the default operation is performed on the evaluation target shovel. The time change of the detected value of the target physical quantity acquired from the evaluation target shovel is referred to as an evaluation waveform. Here, the default operation and the physical quantity of interest are the same as the default operation and the physical quantity of interest when the reference waveform is acquired. Note that the default operation when acquiring the evaluation waveform and the default operation when acquiring the reference waveform are not required to be completely the same operation. For example, when the default operation is a boom raising operation, it can be said that these two operations are the same default operation even if the boom raising speed and the boom moving angle are different. The default action when acquiring the evaluation waveform and the default action when acquiring the reference waveform are similar to each other in the sense that it is not necessary that the various parameters being operated are completely the same. It can also be said. The evaluation target shovel is of the same type as the excavator from which the reference waveform is acquired.

In step SB2, based on the reference waveform stored in the storage device 48 (FIG. 1) and the evaluation waveform acquired in step SB1, it is determined whether there is an abnormality in the evaluation target shovel. A method for determining the presence or absence of abnormality will be described later with reference to FIG. In step SB3, the determination result is output to the display device 49 (FIG. 1).

FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of step SB2 shown in FIG. In step SB21, a plurality of feature amounts of the evaluation waveform are calculated. As shown in FIG. 6B, the calculated values of feature quantity A to feature quantity E of the evaluation waveform are represented as ao to eo, respectively.

In step SB22, the Mahalanobis distance of the evaluation waveform is calculated using a reference waveform having a plurality of feature amounts A to E as variables as a unit space.

FIG. 9 shows a definition formula of the Mahalanobis distance MD of the evaluation waveform. In this definition formula, ao to eo (FIG. 6B) are the values of the feature quantities A to E of the evaluation waveform, respectively, and Xa to Xe are representatives of the feature quantities A to E of the plurality of reference waveforms, respectively. A value (for example, an average value) (FIG. 6A), and σa to σe are standard deviations (FIG. 6A) of feature amounts A to E of a plurality of reference waveforms, respectively. A matrix including r (A, A) to r (E, E) as elements is a correlation matrix of the reference waveform feature quantity A to feature quantity E.

In step SB23 (FIG. 8), the Mahalanobis distance of the evaluation waveform is compared with a determination threshold value. The determination threshold is stored in advance in the storage device 48 (FIG. 1). In step SB24, based on the comparison result between the Mahalanobis distance and the determination threshold, it is determined whether there is an abnormality in the evaluation target shovel. For example, when the Mahalanobis distance MD is greater than or equal to the determination threshold, it is determined that the evaluation excavator is abnormal, and in other cases, it is determined normal. If it is determined that the evaluation target excavator is abnormal, a candidate for an abnormal type is specified in step SB25, and then step SB3 (FIG. 7) is executed. If it is determined that the evaluation excavator is normal, step SB3 (FIG. 7) is executed without executing step SB25.

Hereinafter, an example of a method for identifying an abnormality type candidate in step SB25 will be described. First, the waveform of the physical quantity of interest and the feature quantity of the waveform in various abnormal states of the excavator are stored in a database in association with the abnormality type. Principal component analysis is performed using these features as factors. The waveform of the same abnormal state will tend to concentrate in a specific region (hereinafter referred to as a known abnormal concentration region) in the principal component coordinate system.

When the position of the feature amount of the evaluation waveform in the principal component coordinate system is included in a certain known abnormal concentration region, it can be estimated that the known abnormality has occurred in the evaluation target shovel.

For example, in the waveform shown in FIG. 4B, the Mahalanobis distance increases due to the large standard deviation as one factor. In the waveform shown in FIG. 4C, the Mahalanobis distance increases due to the fact that the maximum value of the signal non-existing time is large. For this reason, it is determined that the evaluation object excavator from which the waveforms illustrated in FIGS. 4B and 4C are acquired is abnormal.

On the other hand, the integrated value or average value of the waveform shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C is substantially equal to the integrated value or average value of the waveform shown in FIG. 4A. Therefore, when the presence or absence of abnormality is determined based on the integrated value or average value of the waveform, the evaluation object shovel from which the waveforms of FIGS. 4B and 4C are acquired may be determined to be normal. In the abnormality determination method according to the embodiment, the evaluation object excavator from which the waveforms illustrated in FIGS. 4B and 4C are acquired can be determined to be abnormal.

Next, an abnormality determination method according to another embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. Hereinafter, differences from the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 will be described, and description of the same configuration will be omitted. The abnormality determination method according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 is obtained by changing step SB2 of the abnormality determination method according to the embodiment shown in FIG. 7 to the flowchart shown in FIG.

FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of step SB2 of the abnormality determination method according to this embodiment. In step SB21, the feature amount of the evaluation waveform is calculated. This step is the same as step SB21 in the embodiment shown in FIG. In step SB221, a reference vector having a plurality of feature quantities of each reference waveform as an element is normalized so that the average becomes 0 and the standard deviation becomes 1 for each feature quantity. An average vector of a plurality of standardized reference vectors (standardized reference vectors) is a zero vector. In the example shown in FIG. 6A, the standardized feature quantity A of the reference waveform WF (i) is represented by (a (i) −Xa) / σa.

FIG. 11 shows an example of a plurality of standardized reference vectors. In FIG. 11, the standardized reference vector is represented as a two-dimensional vector having two elements, a feature quantity A and a feature quantity B. The tip of the normalized reference vector is indicated by a hollow circle symbol. Since the average vector of the standardized reference vectors is a zero vector and the standard deviation of each feature quantity is 1, the standardized reference vectors are distributed in a circular area 70 near the origin. The area 70 is referred to as a “reference area”.

In step SB222 (FIG. 10), the evaluation vector having the feature quantity of the evaluation waveform as an element is normalized using the average value and the standard deviation of the feature quantity of the reference waveform WF (i) to generate a standardized evaluation vector. The standardized evaluation vector is compared with the average vector of the standardized reference vectors (that is, the zero vector). FIG. 11 shows an example of the standardized evaluation vector 71. In the example shown in FIG. 11, the standardized evaluation vector 71 is greatly deviated from the reference area 70.

In step SB223, based on the comparison result between the average vector (zero vector) of the standardized reference vectors and the standardized evaluation vector 71 (FIG. 11), it is determined whether there is an abnormality in the evaluation target shovel. As an example, if the standardized evaluation vector 71 (FIG. 11) is located inside the reference area 70 (FIG. 11), it is determined that the evaluation target shovel is normal, and if it is located outside, the evaluation is performed. It is determined that the target excavator is abnormal. Based on the similarity between the average vector and the normalized evaluation vector 71 (Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, etc.), the presence or absence of an abnormality in the evaluation target shovel may be determined.

If it is determined in step SB223 that there is an abnormality, in step SB224, an abnormality type candidate is specified. Thereafter, in step SB3 (FIG. 7), the determination result is output. If it is determined to be normal in step SB223, the determination result is output in step SB3 (FIG. 7) without specifying an abnormal type candidate.

With reference to FIG. 12, an example of a method for specifying a candidate for an abnormality type in step SB224 (FIG. 10) will be described.

In advance, a feature amount is calculated based on a temporal change in the physical quantity of interest acquired from an excavator whose abnormality type is known, and an abnormal vector is acquired. A plurality of abnormal vectors having the same abnormality type tend to be concentrated in a specific area.

FIG. 12 shows an example of a normalization abnormality vector and a standardization evaluation vector. Normalized abnormality vectors acquired from an excavator in which an abnormality of an abnormality type X has occurred are concentrated in a specific area (X abnormality area) 80, and from an excavator in which an abnormality of another abnormality type Y has occurred. The acquired normalized abnormality vectors are concentrated in another specific area (Y abnormal area) 82. A vector average of normalized abnormal vectors concentrated in the X abnormal region 80 is obtained, and an X abnormal average vector 81 is determined. Similarly, a vector average of normalized abnormal vectors that are concentrated in the Y abnormal region 82 is obtained, and a Y abnormal average vector 83 is determined.

The X abnormal time average vector 81 and the Y abnormal average vector 83 are obtained in advance and stored in the storage device 48 (FIG. 1). An average vector at the time of abnormality corresponding to various abnormality types different from both the abnormality type X and the abnormality type Y is also obtained in advance and stored in the storage device 48 (FIG. 1).

Standardized evaluation vectors

84 and 85 are compared with various abnormal average vectors. When the difference between the standardized evaluation vector and the abnormal average vector is small, it is estimated that an abnormality corresponding to the abnormal average vector has occurred. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the difference between the normalized evaluation vector 85 and the X abnormal time average vector 81 is small. For this reason, it is estimated that an abnormality of abnormality type X has occurred in the evaluation object shovel from which the standardized evaluation vector 85 has been acquired.

The standardized evaluation vector 84 is far from any abnormal average vector. It is estimated that an unknown abnormality has occurred in the evaluation target shovel from which the standardized evaluation vector 84 has been acquired. Further, the importance of the abnormality determination result is determined based on the lengths of the

standardized evaluation vectors

84 and 85. The longer the

standardized evaluation vectors

84 and 85, the higher the importance of the corresponding abnormality.

In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 as well, in the same manner as the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, it is possible to detect an abnormality in a short time change of the physical quantity of interest.

Next, an abnormality determination method according to another embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. Hereinafter, differences from the embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 will be described, and description of the same configuration will be omitted. The example shown in FIG. 13 differs from the example shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 in the process of specifying the abnormality type candidate in step SB224 (FIG. 10), and the other processes are the same.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 12, the outer shapes of the X abnormal region 80 and the Y abnormal region 82 are almost circular. Actually, as shown in FIG. 13, the X abnormal region 80, the Z abnormal region 90, etc. may have a long outer shape along a straight line passing through the origin. In such a case, an example in which candidates for abnormal types of the two

standardized evaluation vectors

86 and 87 are specified will be described.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 13, the X abnormal time unit vector 81u and the Z abnormal time unit vector 88u, where the lengths of the X abnormal time average vector 81 and the Z abnormal time average vector 88 are 1, are stored in the storage device 48 ( 1). Similarly, for other abnormal types, an abnormal unit vector in which the length of the abnormal average vector is 1 is stored in the storage device 48. By comparing these abnormal time unit vectors with the

standardized evaluation vectors

86 and 87, candidates for abnormal types are specified.

Specifically, an angle formed by the unit vector 81u at the time of X abnormality and the

standardized evaluation vectors

86 and 87 is obtained. When this angle is smaller than the determination threshold, an abnormality type X is cited as a candidate for an abnormality occurring in the shovel to be evaluated. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the angle formed by the normalized evaluation vector 86 and the X abnormality time unit vector 81u is smaller than the determination threshold. For this reason, it is estimated that an abnormality of abnormality type X has occurred in the excavator from which the evaluation waveform corresponding to the standardized evaluation vector 86 has been acquired. On the other hand, the angle formed by the other normalized evaluation vector 87 and the X abnormality time unit vector 81u is larger than the determination threshold. For this reason, it is estimated that an abnormality other than the abnormality type X has occurred in the excavator from which the evaluation waveform corresponding to the standardized evaluation vector 87 has been acquired.

Next, the effect of adopting the embodiment shown in FIG. 13 will be described. As an example, a normalized abnormality vector of abnormality type X and a normalized abnormality vector of abnormality type Z are distributed in the X abnormality region 80 and the Z abnormality region 90, respectively. The length D1 of the difference vector between the X-abnormal average vector 81 and the normalized evaluation vector 86 is substantially equal to the difference vector length D2 between the X-abnormal average vector 81 and the other normalized evaluation vector 87. The length D3 of the difference vector between the normalized evaluation vector 87 and the Z abnormal average vector 88 is longer than the length D1. The angle formed by the normalized evaluation vector 87 and the Z abnormal time average vector 88 is smaller than the determination threshold.

In the method of specifying an abnormal type candidate based only on the length of the difference vector between the standardized evaluation vector to be evaluated and various average vectors at the time of abnormality, the abnormal type candidate of the standardized evaluation vector 87 is abnormal. Type X is extracted. As a result of analyzing various abnormal data, it has been found that the normalized evaluation vector 87 is almost unrelated to the abnormal type X and often indicates a sign that the abnormal type Z will occur.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 13, a candidate for an abnormality type is extracted based on an angle formed by the standardized evaluation vector 87 and various abnormality unit vectors. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the angle formed between the standardized evaluation vector 87 and the Z abnormal time unit vector 88u is smaller than the angle formed between the standardized evaluation vector 87 and the X abnormal time unit vector 81u. Therefore, the abnormality type Z is extracted as the abnormality type of the standardized evaluation vector 87. As described above, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 13, it is possible to improve the extraction accuracy of the abnormal type candidates.

After extracting the abnormal type candidates, it is possible to estimate the degree of abnormality based on the ratio of the length of the normalized evaluation vector 87 to the length of the average vector 88 at the time of Z abnormality. When the ratio between the two is small, the degree of abnormality is low, and when the ratio between the two is large, it can be estimated that the degree of abnormality is high. Furthermore, the

abnormal unit vectors

81u and 88u may be used when estimating the degree of abnormality.

Next, an embodiment relating to the processing of the excavator status display device 50 (FIG. 1) will be described with reference to FIGS. In this embodiment, information on the degree of abnormality (importance) calculated in the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 13 is displayed on the excavator status display device 50.

FIG. 14 shows an example of abnormality determination result information. The abnormality determination result information includes an abnormality type, a subject, an abnormal part, an abnormal part, a countermeasure, and an importance of the abnormality. The abnormality type is an identification code that identifies an abnormality that is estimated to have occurred in the target excavator 30. The degree of importance of the abnormality is represented by, for example, four levels of “severe”, “medium”, “mild”, and “normal”. As an example, abnormalities that lead to engine shutdown are classified as "severe", abnormalities that lead to significant engine performance degradation are classified as "medium", and abnormalities that can continue to operate with the backup function are classified as "minor" being classified. A state in which no abnormality has occurred is classified as “normal”. The “severe” abnormality includes, for example, an engine controller abnormality. “Medium” abnormalities include fuel leakage, fuel clogging, engine harness disconnection, and the like. “Mild” abnormality includes temperature sensor abnormality, boost pressure sensor abnormality, and the like.

FIG. 15 shows a flowchart of processing executed by the processing device 52 of the excavator status display device 50 (FIG. 01). When the excavator status display program is activated, in step SC1, the processing device 52 sends the machine identification information of each of the plurality of excavators 30 to be managed from the management device 45 (FIG. 01) via the transmission / reception circuit 51. The current position information of each of the excavators 30 and the abnormality determination result information (FIG. 14) of each of the excavators 30 are received.

In step SC2, the processing device 52 (FIG. 01) determines the range of the map to be displayed on the display device 54 (FIG. 01) based on the current position information of the plurality of excavators 30 received from the management device 45 (FIG. 01). decide. For example, the scale of the map is determined so that the displayed map includes the current positions of all the shovels 30 to be managed. Note that the range of the map to be displayed may be determined so as to include the current position of at least one excavator 30 to be managed.

In step SC3, the map of the range determined in step SC2 is displayed on the display device 54 (FIG. 01) of the excavator status display device 50. Further, an excavator icon is displayed at a location on the displayed map corresponding to the current position of the excavator 30 to be managed. The icon of the excavator is displayed in a manner in which the importance of the abnormality determination result based on the abnormality determination result information can be identified.

FIG. 16 shows an example of an image displayed on the display device 54 of the excavator status display device 50 (FIG. 01). A map display area 60, an icon explanation area 61, and an excavator information display area 62 are secured on the display screen. A map is displayed in the map display area 60, and an excavator icon 63 is displayed at a location corresponding to the current position of the excavator. The excavator icon 63 has a planar shape corresponding to the outer shape of the excavator, and is displayed by being color-coded according to the importance of the abnormality estimated to have occurred in the excavator. For example, the excavator icons 63 whose importance levels are “severe”, “medium”, “mild”, and “normal” are color-coded into red, pink, yellow, and blue, respectively. In the icon explanation area 61, the correspondence between the color of the shovel icon and the importance is displayed.

In order to make it possible to identify the importance of the abnormality determination result, the excavator icon may be displayed in a mode other than color coding. For example, the thickness of the lines that make up the icon may be varied, or the size of the icon may be varied. Alternatively, the icon of the shovel whose abnormality determination result is “severe” may be blinked.

The excavator information is displayed in a tabular format in the excavator information display area 62. For example, the excavator information includes the excavator type, the machine number, the location, the hour meter value, and the importance of the abnormality. In addition, a button for linking to detailed information is displayed for each excavator machine number. When this button is selected by tapping or the like, detailed information of the excavator with the machine number corresponding to the selected button is displayed. The detailed information includes information on the abnormality type, subject, abnormal part, abnormal part, and countermeasure shown in FIG.

Maintenance managers can easily recognize the distribution of shovels to be managed and the current position of the shovel that is estimated to be abnormal based on the information displayed on the shovel status display device 50 (FIG. 01). Can do.

FIG. 17A shows another example of the image displayed in the map display area 60. In the example shown in FIG. 17A, a balloon 64 is given to one shovel icon 63A. The numerical value shown in the balloon 64 represents the number of excavators existing at the location where one excavator icon 63A is displayed. FIG. 17A means that there are three excavators at a location on the map where the excavator icon 63A is displayed.

If there are multiple excavators in a narrow area on the map, displaying all the excavator icons makes it difficult to recognize the number and importance of the excavators. In the example shown in FIG. 17A, among the plurality of excavators existing in the narrow section, the icon of the excavator with the highest degree of abnormality is displayed, and the display of the icons of the other excavators is omitted. Even if no other shovel icon is displayed, the shovel icon with the highest degree of importance of the abnormality is displayed, so that it is possible to call attention to maintenance personnel. Further, the number of shovels can be easily grasped by the numbers indicated by the balloons 64.

When the excavator icon 63A with the balloon 64 is tapped, the map is enlarged and displayed around the place where the excavator icon 63A is displayed.

FIG. 17B shows an image displayed in the map display area 60 after the excavator icon 63A (FIG. 17A) is tapped. Icons of two

excavators

63B and 63C that are not displayed in the state of FIG. 17A are displayed. Thus, the shovel icon that was not displayed in the state of FIG. 17A can be easily displayed. Thereby, the maintenance manager can recognize the current positions of all the excavators and the importance of the abnormality.

In FIG. 17A, by omitting the display of icons other than the shovel having the highest importance of the abnormality determination result, it is possible to easily identify the shovel having the highest importance of the abnormality determination result from other shovels. It is. You may display an icon in the other aspect which can identify easily the excavator with the highest importance of an abnormality determination result with respect to another shovel. For example, a plurality of icons may be displayed in an overlapping manner so that a shovel icon with a low importance level is arranged in a lower layer and a shovel icon with a high importance level is arranged in a relatively upper layer.

FIG. 18 shows an image displayed in the map display area 60 when the scale of the map is made smaller than the state of FIG. 17A. When the scale of the map is reduced, the number of excavators existing within the same range on the display screen increases. The excavator icon 63A shown in FIG. 17A and the icon closest to the excavator icon 63A exist in the same section where the icons are to be displayed together on the small scale map. In this case, in the example shown in FIG. 18, the numerical value in the balloon 64 attached to the excavator icon 63A is increased from “3” to “4”. Similarly, in other places in the map, a plurality of shovel icons that are individually displayed in FIG. 17A may be represented by one icon in FIG. 18 and display of other icons may be omitted. is there. In this case, a balloon indicating the number of excavators is displayed on the representative icon. In this way, the number of shovel icons displayed in the section of the reference area on the map is adjusted according to the scale of the map to be displayed.

As shown in FIG. 19, the current position of the service car in charge of excavator maintenance may be displayed in the map display area 60. The management device 45 (FIG. 01) receives the current position information from the service car. This current position information is transmitted to the excavator status display device 50 (FIG. 01). When the excavator status display device 50 receives the current position information of the service car, the service car icon 65 is displayed at a location corresponding to the current position of the service car on the map displayed in the map display area 60. On the same map, excavator icons 63A to 63C are also displayed. As a result, the maintenance manager in the service car can easily grasp the positional relationship between his current position and the position of the shovel to be managed. In this way, it is possible to easily grasp the current location of a plurality of management shovels distributed over a wide range and the state of the shovel.

As shown in FIG. 20, a route 66 from the current position of the service car to the current position of a specific excavator may be displayed. The maintenance manager taps the target excavator icon 63A. When detecting that the shovel icon 63A has been tapped, the processing device 52 obtains a route 66 from the service car to the current position of the shovel indicated by the tapped icon 63A and displays it on the map. As a result, the maintenance staff can easily move to the target excavator.

In the above-described embodiment, the management device 45 (FIG. 1) has a function of determining an excavator abnormality, and the excavator state display device 50 has a function of displaying the importance of the abnormality occurring in the shovel. As another example, the excavator status display device 50 may be provided with a function for determining an abnormality of the excavator. In other words, the management device 45 may be provided with the function of the excavator status display device 50, and the management device 45 may be realized by a tablet terminal or the like.

In this case, the management device 45 is unnecessary, and direct communication is performed between the excavator status display device 50 and the excavator 30. A program executed by the processing device 52 and various management information are stored in the storage device 53 of the excavator status display device 50. The processing device 52 performs abnormality determination of the shovel 30 based on the machine body identification information received from the excavator 30, measured values of various operating variables, current position information, and management information stored in the storage device 53.

With reference to FIGS. 21 to 27, a description will be given of an excavator abnormality determination method according to still another embodiment. The excavator abnormality determination includes a process of creating causal relationship information for performing abnormality determination and a process of performing abnormality determination using the causal relationship information.

FIG. 21 shows a flowchart of processing for creating causal relationship information for performing abnormality determination. In step SD1, the management device 45 (FIG. 01) acquires the measured value of the operating variable and the abnormality type that occurred during the period in which the measured value was collected from the plurality of excavators 30 (FIG. 01) to be managed.

FIG. 22 shows an example of measured values and abnormality types of the operating variables acquired in step SD1. The measurement value of the operating variable and the acquisition of the abnormality type are performed for each machine number (machine identification information) of the excavator and every certain collection period. The collection period is set to 1 day (24 hours), for example. A group of information collected from one aircraft within one collection period constitutes one evaluation object.

In FIG. 22, as an example, the evaluation target No. The information of 1 was acquired from the excavator of the aircraft number a on July 1, 2011. The operation time A is 24, the pump pressure B is 19, the cooling water temperature C is 15, the hydraulic load D is 11, The operating time E is 14. “Operating time” means the time from when the shovel start switch is pressed to when the stop switch is pressed, that is, the time when the shovel is started. “Operating time” means the time during which the operator is operating the excavator. In addition, the evaluation target No. The abnormality type X of 1 is X1. This means that on July 1, 2011, an abnormality of the abnormality type X1 occurred in the excavator with the machine number a. The abnormality type X0 shown in FIG. 22 means that no abnormality has occurred.

Next, in step SD2 (FIG. 21), an operation variable is discretized to replace each operation variable with a finite discrete event.

23, a method for replacing the operation time A with a finite discrete event will be described. Other operating variables can be similarly replaced with finite discrete events.

FIG. 23 shows an example of a histogram of operation time A. The horizontal axis of FIG. 23 represents the operation time A, and the vertical axis represents the number (frequency) of evaluation objects. The average of the operation time A is μ, and the standard deviation is σ. Divide the range from μ−3σ to μ + 3σ into three equal parts. That is, the horizontal axis is divided into three regions of μ−3σ to μ−σ, μ−σ to μ + σ, and μ + σ to μ + 3σ. A section where the operation time A is less than or equal to μ−σ is A1, a section where μ−σ to μ + σ is A2, and a section where μ + σ or more is A3.

For the operation time A, any one of an event in which the measured value takes a value in the section A1, an event in which the value in the section A2 takes a value, and an event in which the value in the section A3 takes a value occurs. FIG. 24 shows a list of operation variables and abnormality types after the discretization process. The operation time A is represented by sections A1, A2, and A3 to which the measured values belong. Similarly, other driving information is also replaced with a finite discrete event.

Next, in step SD3 (FIG. 21), the causal relationship information is created and stored in the storage device 48 (FIG. 01).

The list in which the operation variables A, B, C,... Of the finite discrete event shown in FIG. 24 are associated with the abnormality type X is a cause and effect with the abnormality type X as a cause event and the operation variable as a result event. It can be said to be related information.

FIG. 25 shows an example of prior probabilities and conditional probabilities of the abnormality estimation model. The prior probability P (X) can be calculated from the causal relationship information shown in FIG. 24, assuming that the abnormality type X is a cause event and each operation variable is a result event assumed to be caused by the cause. Further, for each of the operating variables A, B, C,..., Conditional probabilities P (A | X), P (B | X), with the event that each abnormality type X occurs as a precondition, -Can be calculated. FIG. 25 shows an example of the calculated prior probabilities P (X) and conditional probabilities P (A | X) and P (B | X).

FIG. 26 shows a flowchart of a method for performing abnormality determination using causal relationship information. In step SE <b> 1, the management device 45 (FIG. 01) acquires the measured value of the operating variable from the management target shovel 30. In step SE2, the obtained operation variable is discretized. This discretization process is performed based on the same standard as the discretization process performed in step SD2 of FIG. FIG. 27 shows an example of the operation variable after the discretization process. For example, the discretized value of the operating time A is A2, the discretized value of the pump pressure B is B3, the discretized value of the cooling water temperature C is C1, the discretized value of the hydraulic load D is D2, and the discretized value of the operating time E Is E2.

In step SE3 (FIG. 26), the posterior probability for each abnormality type is obtained using the prior probability P (X), conditional probability P (A | X), etc. obtained from the causal relationship information shown in FIG. Bayesian estimation).

As an example, a posterior probability P (X = X1 | A = A2) (hereinafter referred to as P (X1 | A2)) that an abnormality of the abnormality type X1 has occurred under the condition that an event that the operation time A is A2 has occurred. Can be calculated by the following equation.

Similarly, posterior probabilities P (X2 | A2), P (X3 | A2),... In which an abnormality such as abnormality types X2, X3 has occurred can be calculated.

Further, the calculated posterior probabilities P (X1 | A2), P (X2 | A2), P (X3 | A2)... Are newly treated as prior probabilities, and the discretized value of the pump pressure B is B3. The posterior probability P (X1 | A2, B3) that an abnormality of the abnormality type X1 has occurred under the condition that an event has occurred can be calculated by the following equation. It is assumed that the operation time A and the pump pressure B are independent.

P (B3 | X1, A2) on the right side can be obtained from the causal relationship information shown in FIG. Similarly, posterior probabilities P (X2 | A2, B3), P (X3 | A2, B3),... Where an abnormality such as abnormality types X2, X3 has occurred can be calculated.

Furthermore, by adding other operating variables such as cooling water temperature C, hydraulic load D, operating time E as new results and calculating the posterior probability, the objectivity of the calculated posterior probability can be further increased. it can.

FIG. 27 shows an example of the calculated posterior probability. In this example, in the excavator to be evaluated, the probability that no abnormality has occurred is 50%, the probability that an abnormality of abnormality type X1 has occurred is 5%, and abnormality of abnormality type X2 has occurred. It is estimated that the probability of being 20%.

In the first embodiment, the resulting events are sequentially added to newly calculate the posterior probability step by step, but it is not always necessary to calculate the posterior probability step by step. Using the prior probabilities P (X) shown in FIG. 25 and the conditional probabilities P (A | X), P (B | X), etc. of each operating variable, all operating variables are considered as event events and abnormal The posterior probability of the type may be calculated.

As described above, by performing the Bayesian inference using the causal relationship information shown in FIG. 22 with the discretized value of the measured value of the operating variable shown in FIG. Probability can be calculated.

Next, in step SE4 (FIG. 26), the estimated abnormality type and its posterior probability are stored in the storage device 48 (FIG. 01) in association with the machine number.

In the method shown in FIG. 26, a plurality of abnormality types may be derived by abnormality determination. In the example shown in FIG. 27, the possibility that an abnormality of abnormality type X1 has occurred is estimated to be 5%, and the possibility that an abnormality of abnormality type X2 has occurred is estimated to be 20%. Thus, when the possibility of a plurality of abnormalities is derived, the importance of the abnormality having the highest posterior probability may be adopted as the importance of the abnormality estimated to have occurred in the shovel. Alternatively, the highest degree of abnormality among the importance levels of abnormalities having a posterior probability of a certain reference value, for example, 20% or more, may be adopted as the importance level of abnormalities estimated to have occurred in the shovel. .

Instead of the abnormality determination method shown in FIG. 26, the method according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 9, the method according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the method according to the embodiment shown in FIG. May be applied.

FIG. 28 shows a block diagram of an excavator and an excavator management device according to still another embodiment. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 and the embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the detected value of the physical quantity of interest is managed from the shovel 30 via the communication line 40 in step SA1 (FIG. 2). Sent to device 45. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 28, the management device 45 is mounted on the excavator 30. The management device 45 mounted on the excavator 30 determines whether there is an abnormality in the shovel 30 by the same method as the abnormality determination method according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 or the embodiment shown in FIGS. To do.

The determination result is transmitted from the excavator 30 via the communication line 40 to the excavator management device 25. The excavator management device 25 outputs the determination result received from the excavator 30 to the output device 26 in such a manner that the individual excavator 30 can be identified.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 28, the information transmitted / received through the communication line 40 is only the determination result of the presence / absence of abnormality. Therefore, compared to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 and the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 12 that transmit and receive the detected value of the physical quantity of interest, the amount of data transmitted and received via the communication line 40 is smaller. Can be reduced.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 28, various data are transmitted from the management device 45 mounted on the excavator 30 to the excavator status display device 50 (FIG. 1). Further, the management device 45 mounted on the excavator 30 may have the function of the excavator status display device 50. In this case, the machine body identification information of each of the plurality of shovels to be evaluated and the current position of each of the plurality of shovels to be evaluated are received by the management device 45 of one shovel 30. The management device 45 mounted on the excavator 30 displays a map including at least one current position of a plurality of excavators to be evaluated. Further, an excavator icon is displayed at a location on the displayed map corresponding to the current position of the excavator to be evaluated in such a manner that the importance of the abnormality based on the determination result of the presence or absence of the abnormality can be identified.
