 作業現場や工場において、ドリルやドライバなどの先端工具をモータによって回転駆動して所望の作業を行う電動工具が広く用いられている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。 At work sites and factories, electric tools such as drills and screwdrivers that are rotationally driven by a motor to perform desired work are widely used (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
特許第6107385号公報Japanese Patent No. 6107385
 しかしながら、上記従来の作業工具では、以下に示すような問題点を有している。
 すなわち、一般的に、電動ドライバ、ジグソー、チェーンソー等の作業工具を使用する際には、使用者のスキル(力のかけ方)によって、熟練者とそれ以外の人とで作業完了までに要する時間に大きな差が生じる。また、作業対象(例れば、木材、金属等)によっても、作業量が大幅に異なる。
However, the above-mentioned conventional work tool has the following problems.
That is, in general, when using a work tool such as an electric screwdriver, jigsaw, or chainsaw, it takes time for a skilled person and another person to complete the work depending on the skill (how to apply force) of the user. Makes a big difference. In addition, the amount of work varies greatly depending on the work target (for example, wood, metal, etc.).
 例えば、全ての使用者のスキルが熟練者相当になれば、プロジェクト全体の作業時間も大きく短縮することができる。しかし、目標とすべき作業時間の定義および計測が困難であり、使用者の成長は、使用者自身に依存していた。このため、使用者の習熟度が上がるまでに大きな時間を要し、労働コストが増大するという課題があった。
 このため、例えば、作業工具を用いた各種作業の管理を行う管理者にとっては、所定の作業に関して、作業工具を使用する使用者ごとの技量レベル(習熟度)を把握することは、作業工程を立案する際に特に重要である。
For example, if the skills of all users are equivalent to those of skilled workers, the work time of the entire project can be greatly reduced. However, it was difficult to define and measure the work time to be targeted, and the growth of the user depended on the user himself. For this reason, it takes a long time to improve the proficiency level of the employer, and there is a problem that the labor cost increases.
For this reason, for example, for an administrator who manages various operations using a work tool, grasping the skill level (proficiency level) of each user who uses the work tool for a predetermined work is a work process. It is especially important when planning.

The trigger switch is operated by the user and adjusts the output of the motor according to the amount of operation. The load estimation unit calculates estimated load information applied to the motor based on the motor current input to the motor and the rotation speed of the motor. The proficiency level estimation unit estimates the proficiency level of the user for a predetermined work based on the estimated load information calculated by the load estimation unit.
 ここでは、トリガスイッチの操作によって駆動されるモータを搭載した作業工具において、モータ電流と回転速度とを用いて推定されたモータに掛かる負荷の大きさ(推定負荷情報)に基づいて、所定の作業に関する使用者の習熟度を推定する。
 ここで、作業工具には、例えば、電動ドライバ、ジグソー、チェーンソー等のモータによって駆動される各種工具が含まれる。そして、作業工具を用いて行われる所定の作業には、電動ドライバを用いたネジ締め・外し作業、ボルト締め・外し作業、ジグソーを用いた切削作業、チェーンソーを用いた切削作業等が含まれる。

The predetermined work performed using the work tool includes screw tightening / removing work using an electric screwdriver, bolt tightening / removing work, cutting work using a jigsaw, cutting work using a chainsaw, and the like.
 これにより、モータを搭載した作業工具を使用する際に、作業中のモータ電流とモータの回転速度とを用いて推定されたモータに掛かる負荷(推定負荷情報)に基づいて、所定の作業に関する使用者の習熟度(技量レベル)を推定することができる。
 この結果、例えば、使用者の習熟度のレベルに応じて、使用者ごとに、所定の作業を完了するまでに要する時間の目標値(目標作業時間)を設定する、あるいはモータの出力を変化させる等の制御を実施することができる。
As a result, when using a work tool equipped with a motor, use related to a predetermined work based on the load applied to the motor (estimated load information) estimated using the motor current during work and the rotation speed of the motor. It is possible to estimate the proficiency level (skill level) of a person.
As a result, for example, a target value (target working time) of the time required to complete a predetermined work is set or the output of the motor is changed for each user according to the level of proficiency of the user. Etc. can be controlled.

 すなわち、図4に示すように、ステップS11では、使用者によってトリガスイッチ121が操作され、トリガスイッチ121が、OFF状態からON状態へ移行する。このとき、トリガスイッチ121の引き量(操作量)は、引き量センサ122aへ送信される。
 次に、ステップS12では、ステップS11におけるトリガスイッチ121の引き量に応じてモータ111の回転が開始される。
That is, as shown in FIG. 4, in step S11, the trigger switch 121 is operated by the user, and the trigger switch 121 shifts from the OFF state to the ON state. At this time, the pull amount (operation amount) of the trigger switch 121 is transmitted to the pull amount sensor 122a.
Next, in step S12, the rotation of the motor 111 is started according to the pulling amount of the trigger switch 121 in step S11.
 なお、引き量センサ122aからの出力は、ログ出力部14を介してフィードバック制御部131へ送信される。そして、フィードバック制御部131は、設定された制約条件と、引き量センサ122aから出力されたトリガスイッチ121の引き量とに応じて、PWM出力をモータ駆動回路132へ送信する。これにより、モータ駆動回路132は、制約条件とトリガスイッチ121の引き量とに応じてモータ111の回転を制御することができる。 The output from the pull amount sensor 122a is transmitted to the feedback control unit 131 via the log output unit 14. Then, the feedback control unit 131 transmits the PWM output to the motor drive circuit 132 according to the set constraint condition and the pull amount of the trigger switch 121 output from the pull amount sensor 122a. As a result, the motor drive circuit 132 can control the rotation of the motor 111 according to the constraint condition and the pulling amount of the trigger switch 121.

Next, in step S14, the load torque calculation unit 161a of the load estimation unit 161 of the measurement unit 16 calculates the load torque based on the motor current.
Next, in step S15, the speed fluctuation analysis unit 161b of the load estimation unit 161 creates estimated load information based on the rotation speed of the motor 111 and the load torque.
 次に、ステップS16では、作業時間測定部162が、トリガスイッチ121の操作が開始された計測開始信号と、負荷推定部161において検出された負荷変動のタイミングとに基づいて、所定の作業が開始されてからの経過時間を示す経過作業時間の測定を開始する。
 これにより、作業工具10のトリガスイッチ121を操作して、モータ111を回転させてから、作業対象となる木板等に先端工具等が接触して負荷が変動したタイミングを、作業開始として検出し、その後の作業時間の計測を開始することができる。
Next, in step S16, the work time measuring unit 162 starts a predetermined work based on the measurement start signal at which the operation of the trigger switch 121 is started and the timing of the load fluctuation detected by the load estimation unit 161. Start measuring the elapsed work time, which indicates the elapsed time since it was done.
As a result, after operating the trigger switch 121 of the work tool 10 to rotate the motor 111, the timing at which the tip tool or the like comes into contact with the wooden board or the like to be worked and the load fluctuates is detected as the start of work. Subsequent measurement of working time can be started.
 次に、ステップS17では、作業時間推定部163が、負荷推定部161から受信した推定負荷情報と、作業時間測定部162から受信した経過作業時間とに基づいて、進行中の所定の作業が完了するまでに要する時間(推定作業時間)を推定する。
 次に、ステップS18では、習熟度推定部164が、作業時間推定部163から推定負荷情報および推定作業時間に関する情報を受信する。
Next, in step S17, the work time estimation unit 163 completes the predetermined work in progress based on the estimated load information received from the load estimation unit 161 and the elapsed work time received from the work time measurement unit 162. Estimate the time required to do this (estimated work time).
Next, in step S18, the proficiency level estimation unit 164 receives the estimated load information and the information regarding the estimated working time from the working time estimation unit 163.
 次に、ステップS19では、習熟度推定部164が、作業時間推定部163から受信した推定負荷情報および推定作業時間に基づいて、所定の作業に関する使用者の技量レベル(習熟度)を推定する。さらに、習熟度推定部164は、推定された使用者の推定習熟度の1段上のレベルの習熟度に対応する目標作業時間を算出する。
 次に、ステップS20では、習熟度推定部164から外部端末20に対して、推定された使用者の習熟度(推定習熟度)と、推定習熟度の1段上のレベルに対応する目標作業時間とを送信して、作業工具10側の処理を終了する。
Next, in step S19, the proficiency level estimation unit 164 estimates the skill level (proficiency level) of the user regarding a predetermined work based on the estimated load information and the estimated work time received from the work time estimation unit 163. Further, the proficiency level estimation unit 164 calculates the target work time corresponding to the proficiency level one step higher than the estimated proficiency level of the user.
Next, in step S20, the proficiency level estimation unit 164 informs the external terminal 20 of the estimated user proficiency level (estimated proficiency level) and the target work time corresponding to the level one step higher than the estimated proficiency level. Is transmitted to end the processing on the work tool 10 side.

 <使用者の習熟度の推定処理>
 本実施形態の作業工具10では、以上のような構成により、所定の作業を実施している使用者の所定の作業に関する技量レベル(習熟度)を推定する。
<Estimation processing of user proficiency>
In the work tool 10 of the present embodiment, the skill level (proficiency level) related to the predetermined work of the user who is performing the predetermined work is estimated by the above configuration.
 ここで、複数の使用者(Aさん、Bさん、Cさん、Dさん)ごとに推定される所定の作業ごとの技量レベル(習熟度)の推定方法について、図7(a)~図8(b)を用いて説明すれば以下の通りである。
 図7(a)には、複数の使用者(Aさん、Bさん、Cさん、Dさん)が、作業工具10としてジグソーを用いて、2種類の作業対象物(木材および金属)に対して切削作業を実施した場合の1回の作業時間と、バッテリ1回分の満充電容量で切断可能な枚数(切断可能枚数)との関係が示されている。
Here, with reference to the method of estimating the skill level (proficiency level) for each predetermined work estimated for each of a plurality of users (Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, Mr. D), FIGS. The explanation using b) is as follows.
In FIG. 7A, a plurality of users (Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, and Mr. D) use a jigsaw as the work tool 10 for two types of work objects (wood and metal). The relationship between one working time when the cutting work is performed and the number of sheets that can be cut with the full charge capacity of one battery (the number of sheets that can be cut) is shown.
 4人の使用者(Aさん、Bさん、Cさん、Dさん)が、作業工具10(ジグソー)を用いて、木材と金属の板をそれぞれ切断した場合には、図7(a)に示すように、4人の使用者の間で、1回の作業時間、切断可能枚数ともに大きな差が生じた。
 具体的には、木材の板を切断する作業を実施した場合、Aさんの結果は、1回の切断の作業時間は約5秒、切断可能枚数は約146枚であった。Bさんの結果は、1回の切断の作業時間は約6秒、切断可能枚数は約128枚であった。Cさんの結果は、1回の切断の作業時間は約11秒、切断可能枚数は約92枚であった。Dさんの結果は、1回の切断の作業時間は約38秒、切断可能枚数は約40枚であった。
When four users (Mr. A, Mr. B, Mr. C, and Mr. D) cut wood and metal plates using a work tool 10 (jigsaw), they are shown in FIG. 7 (a). As described above, there was a large difference in one working time and the number of sheets that could be cut among the four users.
Specifically, when the work of cutting a wood board was carried out, the result of Mr. A was that the work time of one cutting was about 5 seconds and the number of sheets that could be cut was about 146. As a result of Mr. B, the work time for one cutting was about 6 seconds, and the number of sheets that could be cut was about 128. As a result of Mr. C, the work time for one cutting was about 11 seconds, and the number of sheets that could be cut was about 92. As a result of Mr. D, the work time for one cutting was about 38 seconds, and the number of sheets that could be cut was about 40.
 このように、木材の板を切断する作業において、4人の使用者の作業効率には大きな差があり、例えば、AさんとDさんとでは、バッテリ1回分の満充電容量で切断可能な枚数(切断可能枚数)は、146枚と40枚という結果であり、100枚以上の差があることが分かる。
 この結果を踏まえ、例えば、Cさんについて、図7(a)に示すように、木材を切断する作業に関するCさんの技量レベル(習熟度)としては、レベル2(中級)に該当すると推定される。
In this way, in the work of cutting wood boards, there is a big difference in the work efficiency of the four users. For example, Mr. A and Mr. D can cut the number of sheets that can be cut with the full charge capacity of one battery. (The number of sheets that can be cut) is 146 sheets and 40 sheets, and it can be seen that there is a difference of 100 sheets or more.
Based on this result, for example, as shown in FIG. 7A, it is estimated that Mr. C's skill level (proficiency level) related to the work of cutting wood corresponds to level 2 (intermediate level). ..
 同様に、金属の板を切断する作業を実施した場合の結果は、図7(b)に示すようになった。なお、図7(b)は、図7(a)の金属の結果を示すグラフを、縦軸に拡大したグラフである。
 具体的には、金属の板を切断する作業を実施した場合、Aさんの結果は、1回の切断の作業時間は約22秒、切断可能枚数は約34枚であった。Bさんの結果は、1回の切断の作業時間は約40秒、切断可能枚数は約25枚であった。Cさんの結果は、1回の切断の作業時間は約73秒、切断可能枚数は約17枚であった。Dさんの結果は、1回の切断の作業時間は約118秒、切断可能枚数は約13枚であった。
Similarly, the results of the work of cutting the metal plate are shown in FIG. 7 (b). Note that FIG. 7B is a graph obtained by enlarging the graph showing the results of the metal of FIG. 7A on the vertical axis.
Specifically, when the work of cutting a metal plate was carried out, the result of Mr. A was that the work time of one cutting was about 22 seconds and the number of sheets that could be cut was about 34. As a result of Mr. B, the work time for one cutting was about 40 seconds, and the number of sheets that could be cut was about 25. As a result of Mr. C, the work time for one cutting was about 73 seconds, and the number of sheets that could be cut was about 17. As a result of Mr. D, the work time for one cutting was about 118 seconds, and the number of sheets that could be cut was about 13.
 このように、金属の板を切断する作業においては、木材の板を切断する作業よりも時間が掛かること、および4人の使用者の作業効率には大きな差があることが分かる。例えば、AさんとDさんとでは、バッテリ1回分の満充電容量で切断可能な枚数(切断可能枚数)は、34枚と13枚という結果であり、倍以上の差があることが分かる。
 この結果を踏まえ、例えば、Cさんについて、図7(b)に示すように、金属を切断する作業に関するCさんの技量レベル(習熟度)としては、レベル1(初級)に該当すると推定される。
As described above, it can be seen that the work of cutting the metal plate takes more time than the work of cutting the wood plate, and there is a big difference in the work efficiency of the four users. For example, the number of sheets that can be cut (the number of sheets that can be cut) by the full charge capacity of one battery between Mr. A and Mr. D is 34 and 13, which shows that there is a difference of more than double.
Based on this result, for example, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), it is estimated that Mr. C's skill level (proficiency level) regarding the work of cutting metal corresponds to level 1 (beginner level). ..
 ここで、図7(a)に示すグラフから、4人の使用者のそれぞれについて、木材の板を切断する作業に関する技量レベル(習熟度)を推定した結果、図8(a)に示すように、AさんおよびBさんはレベル4(標準)、Cさんはレベル2(中級)、Dさんはレベル1(初級)という結果であった。
 同様に、図7(b)に示すグラフから、4人の使用者のそれぞれについて、金属の板を切断する作業に関する技量レベル(習熟度)を推定した結果、図8(b)に示すように、Aさんはレベル4(標準)、Bさんはレベル2(中級)、CさんとDさんはレベル1(初級)という結果であった。
Here, as a result of estimating the skill level (proficiency level) related to the work of cutting a wood board for each of the four users from the graph shown in FIG. 7 (a), as shown in FIG. 8 (a). , Mr. A and Mr. B were level 4 (standard), Mr. C was level 2 (intermediate), and Mr. D was level 1 (beginner).
Similarly, as a result of estimating the skill level (proficiency level) related to the work of cutting a metal plate for each of the four users from the graph shown in FIG. 7 (b), as shown in FIG. 8 (b). , Mr. A was level 4 (standard), Mr. B was level 2 (intermediate), and Mr. C and Mr. D were level 1 (beginner).
 本実施形態の作業工具10では、以上のように、作業の種類、作業対象となる材料等ごとに、複数の使用者の当該作業に関する技量レベル(習熟度)を推定する。
 これにより、中央管理端末30に表示された各使用者の各作業に対する技量レベル(習熟度)の差を考慮して、例えば、使用者ごとの貢献度、成長度合いを適切に評価することができる。
In the work tool 10 of the present embodiment, as described above, the skill level (proficiency level) of a plurality of users regarding the work is estimated for each type of work, the material to be worked, and the like.
As a result, for example, the degree of contribution and the degree of growth of each user can be appropriately evaluated in consideration of the difference in skill level (proficiency level) for each work of each user displayed on the central management terminal 30. ..
 また、推定された各使用者の技量レベル(習熟度)に基づいて、複数の作業の種類の中から、どの使用者をどの作業担当に配置するか等、管理者側の作業管理の負担を軽減することができる。
 さらに、使用者が用いる外部端末20に、現在進行中の作業に関する自らの技量レベル(習熟度)の推定結果を表示することで、自身の技量レベル(習熟度)を客観的に把握することができるとともに、過去の技量レベルからの成長度も確認することができる。
In addition, based on the estimated skill level (proficiency level) of each user, the burden of work management on the administrator side, such as which user is assigned to which work from among multiple types of work, is borne. Can be mitigated.
Further, by displaying the estimation result of the own skill level (proficiency level) regarding the work currently in progress on the external terminal 20 used by the user, it is possible to objectively grasp the own skill level (proficiency level). You can also check the degree of growth from the past skill level.
 <ジグソー50を用いた場合の出力増加機構>
 本実施形態の作業工具10として、図9に示すジグソー50を用いた場合の出力増加機構の一例について、以下で説明する。
 ジグソー50は、鋸刃52を高速で上下方向に往復移動させることで、木材や金属を切削する作業工具であって、図9に示すように、本体部51と、鋸刃52と、オービタル(出力増加機構)53とを備えている。
<Output increase mechanism when using jigsaw 50>
An example of the output increasing mechanism when the jigsaw 50 shown in FIG. 9 is used as the work tool 10 of the present embodiment will be described below.
The jigsaw 50 is a work tool for cutting wood and metal by reciprocating the saw blade 52 in the vertical direction at high speed, and as shown in FIG. 9, the main body 51, the saw blade 52, and the orbital ( It is equipped with an output increasing mechanism) 53.
 なお、鋸刃52の上下方向における往復移動とは、図10おける上下方向であって、本体部51に対して進退する方向における往復移動を意味している。
 本体部51は、内部に、図1に示す構成(例えば、モータ111、バッテリ151等)を内蔵しており、トリガスイッチ121の引き量に応じた速度でモータ111が回転することで、鋸刃52を上下に往復移動させる。
The reciprocating movement of the saw blade 52 in the vertical direction means the reciprocating movement in the vertical direction in FIG. 10 in the direction of advancing and retreating with respect to the main body 51.
The main body 51 has a built-in configuration (for example, motor 111, battery 151, etc.) shown in FIG. 1, and the saw blade rotates at a speed corresponding to the pulling amount of the trigger switch 121. The 52 is reciprocated up and down.
 鋸刃52は、機構部11の先端に装着された先端工具であって、本体部51から下向きに突出するように取り付けられている。
 オービタル53は、図10に示すように、鋸刃52の本体部51への取付部分に近接する鋸刃52の根元部分に当接配置されている。そして、オービタル53は、鋸刃52の上下方向における往復移動時に、図10に示す側面視において、鋸刃52の先端部分が楕円軌道上を移動するように、鋸刃52を刃がある方向へ段階的に押し出す機構である。
The saw blade 52 is a tip tool attached to the tip of the mechanical portion 11, and is attached so as to project downward from the main body portion 51.
As shown in FIG. 10, the orbital 53 is arranged in contact with the root portion of the saw blade 52 close to the attachment portion of the saw blade 52 to the main body 51. Then, when the orbital 53 reciprocates in the vertical direction of the saw blade 52, the saw blade 52 is moved in the direction in which the blade is present so that the tip portion of the saw blade 52 moves on the elliptical orbit in the side view shown in FIG. It is a mechanism that pushes out in stages.
 なお、オービタル53による鋸刃52の押し付け量は、例えば、4段階で設定されるように構成されている。段階的な設定は、図示しない切替駆動部(モータ、ソレノイド等)によって実施される。
 これにより、ジグソー50によって切削を行う材料の硬さ、作業速度等を考慮して、オービタル53の設定を段階的に切り替えて作業を実施することができる。
The pressing amount of the saw blade 52 by the orbital 53 is configured to be set in, for example, four steps. The stepwise setting is performed by a switching drive unit (motor, solenoid, etc.) (not shown).
As a result, the setting of the orbital 53 can be changed stepwise to carry out the work in consideration of the hardness of the material to be cut by the jigsaw 50, the working speed, and the like.
 ここで、例えば、図11(a)に示す金属板M1を1枚切削する場合と、図11(b)に示す金属板M1,M2を2枚切削する場合とでは、金属板の厚さが2倍になることで、作業工具10のモータ111に掛かるモータ負荷電流(負荷トルク)も2倍になる。
 同様に、例えば、図12(a)に示す木板W1を1枚切削する場合と、図12(b)に示す木板W1,W2を2枚切削する場合とでは、木板の厚さが2倍になることで、作業工具10のモータ111に掛かるモータ負荷電流(負荷トルク)も2倍になる。
Here, for example, in the case of cutting one metal plate M1 shown in FIG. 11A and the case of cutting two metal plates M1 and M2 shown in FIG. 11B, the thickness of the metal plate is different. By doubling, the motor load current (load torque) applied to the motor 111 of the work tool 10 is also doubled.
Similarly, for example, in the case of cutting one wooden board W1 shown in FIG. 12A and the case of cutting two wooden boards W1 and W2 shown in FIG. 12B, the thickness of the wooden board is doubled. As a result, the motor load current (load torque) applied to the motor 111 of the work tool 10 is also doubled.
 さらに、上述したジグソー50のオービタル53を使用した場合には、切削作業の作業時間は短縮される一方で、切削対象となる材料の厚みの増加と同様に、負荷電流(負荷トルク)が増加する。
 本実施形態の作業工具10では、以上のような構成により、外部端末20において推定された使用者の技量レベル(習熟度)に応じて、例えば、使用者の習熟度のレベルが低く、進行中の作業が遅れている場合には、モータ111の出力を増加させる制御面および機構面での出力増加手段を採用する。
Further, when the above-mentioned jigsaw 50 orbital 53 is used, the working time of the cutting work is shortened, while the load current (load torque) is increased as well as the thickness of the material to be cut is increased. ..
In the work tool 10 of the present embodiment, for example, the level of the user's proficiency level is low and is in progress according to the user's skill level (proficiency level) estimated by the external terminal 20 due to the above configuration. When the work is delayed, the output increasing means on the control surface and the mechanical surface for increasing the output of the motor 111 is adopted.
 例えば、作業工具10がジグソー50である場合には、図10に示すオービタル53が作動するように制御される。なお、オービタル53が0~3の4段階で設定可能である場合には、例えば、目標作業時間からの遅れの程度に応じて適切な段階で設定されるように制御されてもよいし、使用者に段階を選択するように促す表示を行ってもよい。
 これにより、使用者が、モータ111の出力を増加させる措置を採ることなく、自動的に作業工具10がモータ111の出力を増加させるように出力増加制御あるいは出力増加機構を採用することができる。
For example, when the work tool 10 is a jigsaw 50, the orbital 53 shown in FIG. 10 is controlled to operate. When the orbital 53 can be set in four stages of 0 to 3, for example, it may be controlled so as to be set in an appropriate stage according to the degree of delay from the target working time, or it may be used. A display may be displayed prompting the person to select a stage.
As a result, the user can adopt the output increase control or the output increase mechanism so that the work tool 10 automatically increases the output of the motor 111 without taking measures to increase the output of the motor 111.
 よって、使用者の技量レベル(習熟度)に差がある場合でも、目標作業時間に近い作業時間で作業を完了させることができるため、作業工具10を用いた各種作業の作業工程を計画通りに実施することができる。この結果、管理者の管理負担を軽減することができる。 Therefore, even if there is a difference in the skill level (proficiency level) of the user, the work can be completed in a work time close to the target work time, so that the work process of various works using the work tool 10 can be performed as planned. Can be carried out. As a result, the management burden on the administrator can be reduced.

[Other Embodiments]
Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.
(A)
In the above embodiment, the load estimation unit 161 completes the predetermined work currently in progress based on the estimated load information and the elapsed work time created based on the motor current and the rotation speed of the motor 111. In addition to estimating the required time (estimated work time), an example of estimating the skill level (proficiency level) of the user regarding a predetermined work based on the estimated work time and the estimated load information has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, the skill level (proficiency level) of the user during work may be estimated based on the estimated load information without using the estimation result of the estimated work time.
 (B)
 上記実施形態では、推定された使用者の習熟度に応じて、段階的に設定された所定の作業の目標作業時間よりも1段上の目標作業時間を、外部端末20の表示部22等に表示させる例を挙げて説明した。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。
(B)
In the above embodiment, according to the estimated proficiency level of the user, the target work time one step higher than the target work time of the predetermined work set stepwise is set on the display unit 22 or the like of the external terminal 20. The explanation was given with an example of displaying. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
 例えば、推定された使用者の習熟度に応じて段階的に設定された所定の作業の目標作業時間をそのまま表示してもよい。
 この場合には、使用者は、現在の自身の技量レベル(習熟度)に対応する目標作業時間を確認して、その時間内に確実に作業を完了できるように努めることができる。
 ただし、使用者の技量レベルを向上させる教育的見地からは、上記実施形態のように、1段上のレベルの習熟度に対応する目標作業時間が表示されることがより好ましい。
For example, the target work time of a predetermined work set stepwise according to the estimated proficiency level of the user may be displayed as it is.
In this case, the user can confirm the target work time corresponding to the current skill level (proficiency level) and endeavor to surely complete the work within that time.
However, from an educational point of view for improving the skill level of the user, it is more preferable that the target working time corresponding to the proficiency level one step higher is displayed as in the above embodiment.
 (C)
 上記実施形態では、実際の作業状況から推定される推定作業時間と目標作業時間とを比較して、遅れが生じている場合には、目標作業時間に近づくように、モータ111の出力を増加させる各種手段を採用する例を挙げて説明した。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。
(C)
In the above embodiment, the estimated work time estimated from the actual work situation is compared with the target work time, and when a delay occurs, the output of the motor 111 is increased so as to approach the target work time. An example of adopting various means has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
 例えば、目標作業時間に対して推定作業時間が遅れている場合には、外部端末の表示部等へ作業時間の遅れを表示するように制御してもよい。
 この場合には、外部端末の表示部を確認した使用者あるいは管理者は、作業の遅れを認識して、作業者の増員を行う等の措置を講ずることで、作業工程に遅れが生じることを回避することができる。
For example, when the estimated work time is delayed with respect to the target work time, the delay of the work time may be displayed on the display unit of the external terminal or the like.
In this case, the user or administrator who has confirmed the display unit of the external terminal recognizes the delay in the work and takes measures such as increasing the number of workers, thereby causing a delay in the work process. It can be avoided.
 (D)
 上記実施形態では、作業工具10が外部端末20と接続されており、作業工具10において推定された使用者の技量レベル(習熟度)および1段上のレベルに相当する目標作業時間等を、外部端末20側へ送信する例を挙げて説明した。しかし、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。
 例えば、作業工具側に液晶タッチパネル等の表示・入力手段が設けられている構成であれば、技量レベル(習熟度)および目標作業時間を作業工具側において表示させてもよい。
 つまり、本発明は、外部端末を含まない作業工具の単独で構成されていてもよい。
(D)
In the above embodiment, the work tool 10 is connected to the external terminal 20, and the user's skill level (proficiency level) estimated by the work tool 10 and the target work time corresponding to the level one step higher are externally set. An example of transmitting to the terminal 20 side has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
For example, if a display / input means such as a liquid crystal touch panel is provided on the work tool side, the skill level (proficiency level) and the target work time may be displayed on the work tool side.
That is, the present invention may be configured by a single work tool that does not include an external terminal.
