　以下、本発明の実施の形態を、図面に基づき説明する。
　図１は、作業機の販売から運用までの総合管理システムの全体構成図を示したものである。
　図１に示すように、作業機１を取り扱う店舗２では、作業機１の販売を行ったり、作業機１のレンタルを行ったりすることがある。即ち、店舗２では、作業機１を製造する製造会社から納品された作業機１を顧客に販売したり、又、作業機１を顧客に一定期間貸し出すレンタルを行ったりしている。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows an overall configuration diagram of a comprehensive management system from sales to operation of a work machine.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the store 2 that handles the work machine 1, the work machine 1 may be sold or the work machine 1 may be rented. That is, in the store 2, the work machine 1 delivered from the manufacturing company that manufactures the work machine 1 is sold to the customer, or the work machine 1 is rented out to the customer for a certain period.
　作業機１を販売するにあたっては、まず、作業機１を製造会社から店舗２に納品して、納品した作業機１を店舗２に設定した作業機展示場Ｅ１に置き、作業機展示場Ｅ１に置いた作業機１を顧客に売ることになる。販売が完了した（販売済）の作業機１は顧客に引き取られ、作業機展示場Ｅ１に置いた作業機１は店舗２から無くなることになる。
　一方、作業機１をレンタルするにあたっては、作業機１を店舗２に設定した作業機配車場Ｅ２に置き、作業機配車場Ｅ２に置いた作業機１を顧客に貸し出しすることになる。顧客に貸し出した作業機１は一旦店舗２（作業機配車場Ｅ２）から無くなり、その後、店舗２へ戻って来ることによってレンタルが終了する。したがって、作業機１をレンタルするにあたっては、作業機１の運行状況を管理することが必要である。 In selling the work machine 1, first, the work machine 1 is delivered from the manufacturing company to the store 2, and the delivered work machine 1 is placed in the work machine exhibition hall E <b> 1 set in the store 2, and the work machine exhibition hall E <b> 1. The placed work machine 1 is sold to the customer. The work machine 1 that has been sold (already sold) is picked up by the customer, and the work machine 1 placed in the work machine exhibition hall E1 is lost from the store 2.
On the other hand, when the work machine 1 is rented, the work machine 1 is placed on the work machine dispatch place E2 set in the store 2, and the work machine 1 placed on the work machine dispatch place E2 is rented to a customer. The work machine 1 lent to the customer disappears once from the store 2 (work machine dispatch place E2), and then the rental machine ends by returning to the store 2. Therefore, when the work machine 1 is rented, it is necessary to manage the operation status of the work machine 1.
　図１に示す総合管理システムには、作業機１の販売状況の管理を行うための販売管理サーバ３と、作業機１の運行状況の管理を行うための運行管理サーバ４とが備えられている。この総合管理システムでは、これら販売管理サーバ３と、運行管理サーバ４と、作業機１に搭載した作業機用無線端末５とを用いて、作業機１の販売から運行までを総合管理できるものとなっている。 The comprehensive management system shown in FIG. 1 includes a sales management server 3 for managing the sales status of the work machine 1 and an operation management server 4 for managing the operation status of the work machine 1. . In this comprehensive management system, using the sales management server 3, the operation management server 4, and the work machine wireless terminal 5 mounted on the work machine 1, it is possible to comprehensively manage the work machine 1 from sales to operation. It has become.
　以下、総合管理システムについて詳しく説明する。
　販売管理サーバ３は、上述したように作業機１の販売を管理するためのものであって、例えば、製造会社から委託を受けて作業機１の販売を行う販売管理会社６に設置されている。なお、販売管理会社６は、店舗２と同一の会社であっても、店舗２とは異なる独立した会社であってもよい。 Hereinafter, the comprehensive management system will be described in detail.
The sales management server 3 is for managing the sales of the work machine 1 as described above. For example, the sales management server 3 is installed in a sales management company 6 that is commissioned by a manufacturing company and sells the work machine 1. . Note that the sales management company 6 may be the same company as the store 2 or an independent company different from the store 2.
　販売管理サーバ３は、有線又は無線等のネットワーク（電気通信網）２６を介して、各店舗２に設置された無線用送受信器９にアクセス可能となっている。なお、店舗２を区別するときは、説明の便宜上、店舗Ａ、店舗Ｂと表記する。販売管理サーバ３には、各店舗２において製造会社から納品した作業機１が売れたかどうかの情報が保存されている。
　具体的には、図２に示すように、販売管理サーバ３には、店舗２毎に納品した作業機１の固有情報（製造番号、機種）が保存されていると共に、作業機１の価格、作業機１が実際に店舗２で売れたか否かを示す管理販売状況が保存されている。作業機１の固有情報及び価格は、作業機１が店舗２へ納品されるときに販売管理サーバ３へ保存され、管理販売状況は、例えば、店舗２から作業機１が売れたことの通知（報告）があったときに更新される。 The sales management server 3 can access the wireless transceiver 9 installed in each store 2 via a wired or wireless network (electric communication network) 26. In addition, when distinguishing the store 2, it describes with the store A and the store B for convenience of explanation. The sales management server 3 stores information on whether or not the work machine 1 delivered from the manufacturing company at each store 2 has been sold.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the sales management server 3 stores unique information (manufacturing number, model) of the work machine 1 delivered for each store 2, as well as the price of the work machine 1, The management sales situation which shows whether the work machine 1 was actually sold at the store 2 is stored. The unique information and price of the work machine 1 are stored in the sales management server 3 when the work machine 1 is delivered to the store 2, and the management sales status is, for example, a notification that the work machine 1 has been sold from the store 2 ( It will be updated when there is a report).
　ここで、管理販売状況の更新は、店舗２に設置された店舗用端末８（例えば、コンピュータ）によって販売状況が通知されたときに行われることもあるが、この総合管理システムでは作業機１に搭載した作業機用無線端末５から送られてきた情報を基に行われる。
　管理販売状況の更新（書換）を行うにあたっては、まず、作業機１に搭載した作業機用無線端末５によって情報（例えば、固有情報）を定期的に無線用送受信器９を介して販売管理サーバ３へ送信する。 Here, the management sales status may be updated when the sales status is notified by the store terminal 8 (for example, a computer) installed in the store 2, but in this integrated management system, the work machine 1 is updated. This is performed based on information sent from the mounted work equipment wireless terminal 5.
When updating (rewriting) the management sales status, first, information (for example, unique information) is periodically transmitted to the sales management server via the wireless transceiver 9 by the work equipment wireless terminal 5 mounted on the work equipment 1. 3 to send.
　ここで、販売管理サーバ３が作業機用無線端末５から固有情報を受信できたときは、当該固有情報を有する作業機１が店舗２（作業機展示場Ｅ１）にあるとみなして作業機１は未販売とする。一方、販売管理サーバ３が作業機用無線端末５から送信された固有情報を受信できないとき（作業機用無線端末５と無線用送受信器９との無線通信が途切れたとき）は、当該固有情報を有する作業機１が店舗２（作業機展示場Ｅ１）に無いとみなして作業機１は販売済とする。 Here, when the sales management server 3 can receive the unique information from the work machine wireless terminal 5, it is assumed that the work machine 1 having the unique information is in the store 2 (work machine exhibition hall E1). Is not sold. On the other hand, when the sales management server 3 cannot receive the unique information transmitted from the work machine wireless terminal 5 (when the wireless communication between the work machine wireless terminal 5 and the wireless transceiver 9 is interrupted), the unique information It is assumed that there is no work machine 1 having the above in the store 2 (work machine display area E1), and the work machine 1 is already sold.
　図３に示すように、例えば、製造番号「１００１２」，機種「Ｍ１１５Ａ」の固有情報を販売管理サーバ３が受信できた場合は、当該固有情報を有する作業機１は作業機展示場Ｅ１にあるとして、販売管理サーバ３の管理販売状況を未販売「×」とする。また、製造番号「１０００４」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」の固有情報を販売管理サーバ３が受信できない場合は、当該固有情報を有する作業機１が作業機展示場Ｅ１に存在しないとして販売管理サーバ３の管理販売状況を販売済「○」とする。 As shown in FIG. 3, for example, when the sales management server 3 can receive the unique information of the production number “10012” and the model “M115A”, the work machine 1 having the unique information is in the work machine exhibition hall E1. Assuming that the sales management status of the sales management server 3 is unsold “x”. If the sales management server 3 cannot receive the specific information of the production number “10004” and the model “M135A”, the management of the sales management server 3 assumes that the work machine 1 having the specific information does not exist in the work machine exhibition hall E1. The sales status is “O” sold.
　以上のように、総合管理システムにおいては、作業機用無線端末５からの情報に基づいて作業機１の販売管理を行うことができる。
　なお、作業機用無線端末５と無線用送受信器９との通信範囲は、ほぼ作業機展示場Ｅ１と同じ大きさとなるように設定し、作業機１が作業機展示場Ｅ１のどこにいても作業機用無線端末５と無線用送受信器９との無線通信ができ、作業機１が作業機展示場Ｅ１から外へ出ると作業機用無線端末５と無線用送受信器９との無線通信が途切れる（不能）とすることが好ましい。 As described above, in the comprehensive management system, sales management of the work implement 1 can be performed based on information from the work implement wireless terminal 5.
The communication range between the work machine radio terminal 5 and the radio transceiver 9 is set to be approximately the same size as the work machine exhibition hall E1, so that the work machine 1 can be operated anywhere in the work machine exhibition hall E1. Wireless communication between the machine radio terminal 5 and the radio transceiver 9 is possible, and when the work machine 1 goes out of the work machine exhibition area E1, the radio communication between the work machine radio terminal 5 and the radio transceiver 9 is interrupted. (Impossible) is preferable.
　さて、運行管理サーバ４は、上述したように作業機１の運行状況を管理するためのものであって、例えば、作業機１のレンタルを行うレンタル会社（運行管理会社）７に設置されている。なお、レンタル会社７は、店舗２と同一の会社であっても、店舗２とは異なる独立した会社であってもよい。
　運行管理サーバ４は、ネットワーク２６を介して、各店舗２に設置された無線用送受信器９にアクセス可能となっている。 The operation management server 4 is for managing the operation status of the work machine 1 as described above, and is installed in, for example, a rental company (operation management company) 7 that rents the work machine 1. . The rental company 7 may be the same company as the store 2 or an independent company different from the store 2.
The operation management server 4 can access the wireless transceiver 9 installed in each store 2 via the network 26.
　運行管理サーバ４には、各店舗２においてレンタルする作業機１の運行状況が保存されている。運行状況とは、作業機１がレンタルされているか否か、作業機１がレンタルされたときの当該作業機１の運行状態などである。
　具体的には、図４に示すように、運行管理サーバ４には、店舗２にレンタル用として配置した作業機１の固有情報が保存されていると共に、作業機１がレンタル中であるか否かを示す情報、作業機１をレンタルしたときの運行情報が保存されている。この運行情報は、作業機１の作業機用無線端末５から送られたものである。 The operation management server 4 stores the operation status of the work machine 1 rented at each store 2. The operation status is whether or not the work machine 1 is rented, the operation state of the work machine 1 when the work machine 1 is rented, and the like.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the operation management server 4 stores the unique information of the work machine 1 arranged for rental in the store 2 and whether or not the work machine 1 is being rented. The information which shows or the operation information when the work machine 1 is rented is stored. This operation information is sent from the work machine wireless terminal 5 of the work machine 1.
　図５に示すように、運行情報とは、作業機１を動かしたときの作業機１の情報であって、例えば、日付や時間毎におけるエンジン駆動時間である。例えば、「２０１０年４月５日」に「１０時～２０時」までエンジンが駆動したというエンジン駆動時間が運行管理サーバ４に保存されている。なお、図５では、エンジンが駆動した時刻が黒色で示されている。 As shown in FIG. 5, the operation information is information on the work machine 1 when the work machine 1 is moved, and is, for example, the engine drive time for each date or time. For example, the engine management time that the engine was driven from “10:00 to 20:00” on “April 5, 2010” is stored in the operation management server 4. In FIG. 5, the time when the engine is driven is shown in black.
　運行状況（管理運行状況）の更新は、店舗２に設置された店舗用端末８によって行われることもあるが、この総合管理システムでは作業機１に搭載した作業機用無線端末５から送られてきた情報を基に行われる。
　運行状況（管理運行状況）の更新を行うにあたっては、まず、各作業機１に搭載した作業機用無線端末５によって固有情報を定期的に無線用送受信器９を介して運行管理サーバ４へ送信する。 The operation status (management operation status) may be updated by the store terminal 8 installed in the store 2, but in this integrated management system, it is sent from the work machine wireless terminal 5 mounted on the work machine 1. It is done based on the information.
In updating the operation status (management operation status), first, unique information is periodically transmitted to the operation management server 4 via the radio transceiver 9 by the work device wireless terminal 5 mounted on each work device 1. To do.
　ここで、運行管理サーバ４が作業機用無線端末５から固有情報を受信できたときは、当該固有情報を有する作業機１が作業機配車場Ｅ２にあるとして作業機１はレンタル未（レンタルされていない状態）とする。
　一方、運行管理サーバ４が作業機用無線端末５から送信された固有情報を受信できないとき（作業機用無線端末５と無線用送受信器９との無線通信が途切れたとき）は、当該固有情報を有する作業機１が作業機配車場Ｅ２に無いとみなして作業機１はレンタル中とする。 Here, when the operation management server 4 is able to receive the unique information from the work machine wireless terminal 5, the work machine 1 having the unique information is in the work machine dispatch place E2, and the work machine 1 is not rented (rented State).
On the other hand, when the operation management server 4 cannot receive the unique information transmitted from the work machine wireless terminal 5 (when the wireless communication between the work machine wireless terminal 5 and the wireless transceiver 9 is interrupted), the unique information It is assumed that there is no work machine 1 having a work machine dispatch place E2 and that the work machine 1 is being rented.
　図６に示すように、例えば、製造番号「１１０１２」，機種「Ｍ１１５Ａ」の固有情報を運行管理サーバ４が受信できた場合は、当該固有情報を有する作業機１は作業機配車場Ｅ２にあるとして、運行管理サーバ４の管理運行状況をレンタル未「×」とする。また、製造番号「１１００４」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」の固有情報を運行管理サーバ３が受信できない場合は、当該固有情報を有する作業機１が作業機配車場Ｅ２に存在しないとして運行管理サーバ３の管理運行状況をレンタル中「○」とする。 As shown in FIG. 6, for example, when the operation management server 4 can receive the unique information of the production number “11012” and the model “M115A”, the work machine 1 having the unique information is in the work machine dispatch place E2. Assuming that the management operation status of the operation management server 4 is not “rental”. If the operation management server 3 cannot receive the specific information of the production number “11004” and the model “M135A”, the operation management server 3 manages that the work machine 1 having the specific information does not exist in the work machine dispatch place E2. The operating status is “○” during rental.
　加えて、作業機１はエンジンの稼働時間などの運行情報を、作業機用無線端末５から運行管理サーバ４へ送信する。運行管理サーバ４が作業機用無線端末５から送信された運行情報を受信でき、且つ、当該作業機用無線端末５を有する作業機１がレンタル中「○」となっているときは、当該作業機１の運行状況を新しいものに更新する。
　図７に示すように、例えば、運行管理サーバ４において、製造番号「１１００４」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」の作業機１がレンタル中「○」となっていて、当該作業機１から運行情報を運行管理サーバ４が受信できたときは、レンタルしていた当該作業機１が店舗２に帰ってきたとして、運行管理サーバ４は当該作業機１の管理運行状況を更新する。 In addition, the work machine 1 transmits operation information such as the operating time of the engine from the work machine wireless terminal 5 to the operation management server 4. When the operation management server 4 can receive the operation information transmitted from the work machine radio terminal 5 and the work machine 1 having the work machine radio terminal 5 is “O” during rental, the work is performed. Update the operating status of Aircraft 1 to a new one.
As shown in FIG. 7, for example, in the operation management server 4, the work machine 1 of the production number “11004” and the model “M135A” is “O” during rental, and operation information is managed from the work machine 1. When the server 4 is able to receive, the operation management server 4 updates the management operation status of the work machine 1 assuming that the rented work machine 1 has returned to the store 2.
　このように、総合管理システムにおいては、作業機用無線端末５からの情報に基づいて作業機１の運行管理を行うことができる。
　なお、作業機用無線端末５と無線用送受信器９との通信範囲は、ほぼ作業機配車場Ｅ２と同じ大きさとなるように設定し、作業機１が作業機配車場Ｅ２のどこにいても作業機用無線端末５と無線用送受信器９との無線通信ができ、作業機１が作業機配車場Ｅ２から外へ出ると作業機用無線端末５と無線用送受信器９との無線通信が途切れる（不能）とすることが好ましい。 Thus, in the comprehensive management system, the operation management of the work implement 1 can be performed based on the information from the work implement wireless terminal 5.
Note that the communication range between the work machine radio terminal 5 and the radio transceiver 9 is set to be approximately the same size as the work machine dispatch place E2, so that the work machine 1 can be operated anywhere in the work machine dispatch place E2. Wireless communication between the machine wireless terminal 5 and the wireless transmitter / receiver 9 is possible, and when the work machine 1 goes out of the work machine dispatch area E2, the wireless communication between the work machine wireless terminal 5 and the wireless transmitter / receiver 9 is interrupted. (Impossible) is preferable.
　なお、同一店舗において、作業機展示場Ｅ１と作業機配車場Ｅ２とを兼用して同じ場所としてもよい。
　このように、総合管理システムでは、販売状況を求めるために必要な販売関連情報と運行行状況を求めるために必要な運行関連情報とを作業機１に搭載した１つの作業機用無線端末５によって、販売管理サーバ３や運行管理サーバ４に送信するようになっている。 In the same store, the work machine exhibition hall E1 and the work machine dispatch place E2 may be used as the same place.
As described above, in the comprehensive management system, the work-related wireless terminal 5 mounted on the work machine 1 includes the sales-related information necessary for obtaining the sales situation and the operation-related information necessary for obtaining the operation line situation. The information is transmitted to the sales management server 3 and the operation management server 4.
　作業機１に搭載した作業機用無線端末５について詳しく説明する。なお、作業機１はトラクタとして説明を進めることとし、まず、トラクタの全体構成について説明する。
　図８に示すように、トラクタ１は、前後に車輪を有する走行車体１０にエンジン（例えば、ディーゼルエンジン）１１、変速装置１２等が搭載されることにより構成されている。この走行車体１０の後部には、３点リンク機構１６が昇降可能に設けられている。この３点リンク機構１６には、各種の作業装置（図例は耕耘装置）１３が着脱自在となっている。この作業装置１３には、ＰＴＯ軸を介してエンジン１１からの動力が伝達されるようになっている。また、エンジン１１の後方には、独立搭載型のキャビン１４が設けられており、キャビン１４内に運転席１５が設けられている。このトラクタ１は、走行や作業装置１３による作業が行えるようになっている。 The work machine wireless terminal 5 mounted on the work machine 1 will be described in detail. The working machine 1 will be described as a tractor. First, the overall configuration of the tractor will be described.
As shown in FIG. 8, the tractor 1 is configured by mounting an engine (for example, a diesel engine) 11, a transmission device 12, and the like on a traveling vehicle body 10 having front and rear wheels. A three-point link mechanism 16 is provided at the rear portion of the traveling vehicle body 10 so as to be movable up and down. Various working devices (in the illustrated example, a tilling device) 13 are detachably attached to the three-point link mechanism 16. Power from the engine 11 is transmitted to the work device 13 via the PTO shaft. In addition, an independently mounted cabin 14 is provided behind the engine 11, and a driver seat 15 is provided in the cabin 14. The tractor 1 is configured to be able to run and work with the work device 13.
　図９は、トラクタ１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９に示すように、トラクタ１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。 FIG. 9 shows a control device that controls the traveling system and the working system in the tractor 1.
As shown in FIG. 9, the traveling system and the working system in the tractor 1 are controlled by, for example, three control devices (first control device 20, second control device 21, and third control device 22). Yes.
　第１制御装置２０は、トラクタ１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とは車載ネットワーク（Controller Area Network）によって相互通信が行えるようになっている。
　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。 The first control device 20 controls the entire tractor 1, and the other control devices, that is, the second control device 21 and the third control device 22 communicate with each other through an in-vehicle network (Controller Area Network). It can be done.
The first 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.
　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を制御（変速制御）することができるようになっている。
　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。 The first control device 20 outputs a control command to the second control device 21 so that the engine 11 reaches a predetermined rotational speed based on the operation amount of the accelerator pedal, and controls the transmission based on the shift lever position ( Shift control).
In addition, the first 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.
　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。 When the engine rotation upper limit value is input, the first 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.
　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１の様々な情報を表示する第１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１２の昇降を制御する（３Ｐ昇降制御）。
　このような第１制御装置２０の内部メモリ２５には、トラクタ（作業機１）を特定するための固有情報が保存されている。ここで、固有情報とは、トラクタ１を特定するための情報であり、例えば、トラクタ１の１台１台に割り当てられたＩＤ（identification）を固有情報としてもよいが、この実施形態では、トラクタ１の製造番号と機種と組み合わせることによってトラクタ１を特定できるため、固有情報は製造番号及び機種からなるものとされている。 The first control device 20 controls the first display device 24 that displays various information of the tractor 1 such as the engine speed, the shift speed, and the oil temperature, and 3 based on the input from the third control device 22. The elevation of the point link mechanism 12 is controlled (3P elevation control).
In the internal memory 25 of the first control device 20 as described above, unique information for specifying the tractor (work machine 1) is stored. Here, the unique information is information for specifying the tractor 1. For example, an ID (identification) assigned to each tractor 1 may be used as the unique information. In this embodiment, the tractor 1 Since the tractor 1 can be specified by combining the serial number of 1 and the model, the unique information includes the serial number and the model.
　また、内部メモリ２５には運行情報が更新されながら保存されるようになっている。この運行情報は図５に示したようにエンジン駆動時間などである。
　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。 The operation information is stored in the internal memory 25 while being updated. This operation information is engine driving time as shown in FIG.
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.
　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。
　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。 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.
The third 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.
  上述したように、トラクタ１は、各制御装置２０，２１,２２によって制御されて走行や作業装置１３による作業を行うことができる。なお、トラクタ１の走行系や作業系の制御を行う制御装置の個数は、上述したものに限定されない。例えば、第１制御装置２０、第２制御装置２１、第３制御装置２２を一体化して１つの制御装置で構成してもよい。また、トラクタ１は、１以上の制御装置によって走行や作業装置１３による作業が行えるものであればよく、走行や作業を行うための制御方法などは上述したものに限定されない。 As described above, the tractor 1 can be controlled by the control devices 20, 21, and 22 to perform traveling and work by the work device 13. Note that the number of control devices that control the traveling system and the working system of the tractor 1 is not limited to that described above. For example, the first control device 20, the second control device 21, and the third control device 22 may be integrated into a single control device. Moreover, the tractor 1 should just be what can drive | work and the operation | work by the working device 13 by one or more control apparatuses, and the control method for performing driving | running | working and work is not limited to what was mentioned above.
　この実施形態では、図９に示すように、第１制御装置２０に作業機用無線端末５が接続されている。この作業機用無線端末５は、販売管理サーバ３や運行管理サーバ４にトラクタ１の情報を送信するものであって、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５は、例えば、トラクタ１の運転席１５の周辺に設けられている。 In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the work machine wireless terminal 5 is connected to the first control device 20. The work machine wireless terminal 5 transmits information on the tractor 1 to the sales management server 3 and the operation management server 4, and is an active wireless terminal (radio device) that transmits radio waves. The work machine wireless terminal 5 is provided, for example, around the driver's seat 15 of the tractor 1.
　作業機用無線端末５は、第１データ送信手段３０と、第２データ送信手段３１と、送信頻度設定手段３２とを備えている。
　第１データ送信手段３０は、販売状況を求めるために必要な販売関連情報（例えば、作業機１の固有情報）を販売管理サーバ３に送信するためのものであって、当該作業機用無線端末５に格納されたプログラム等から構成されている。即ち、この第１データ送信手段３０は、第１制御装置２０の内部メモリ２５に保存された固有情報を読み出して無線用送受信器９に送信し、当該無線用送受信器９を介して販売管理サーバ３に送るように構成されている。 The work machine wireless terminal 5 includes a first data transmission unit 30, a second data transmission unit 31, and a transmission frequency setting unit 32.
The first data transmission means 30 is for transmitting sales-related information (for example, unique information of the work machine 1) necessary for obtaining the sales status to the sales management server 3, and is a wireless terminal for the work machine 5 and the like stored in the program. That is, the first data transmission means 30 reads out the unique information stored in the internal memory 25 of the first control device 20 and transmits it to the wireless transceiver 9, and the sales management server via the wireless transceiver 9. 3 is configured to be sent to 3.
　なお、上述したように固有情報を送信することによって販売管理サーバ３が販売状況を求めることができるため、送信する販売関連情報を固有情報としているが販売状況を求めるために必要な情報であれば、固有情報のみに限定されず、どのような情報であってもよい。
　第２データ送信手段３１は、運行状況を求めるために必要な運行関連情報（例えば、固有情報や運行情報）を運行管理サーバ４に送信するためのものであって、当該作業機用無線端末５に格納されたプログラム等から構成されている。即ち、この第２データ送信手段３１は、第１制御装置２０の内部メモリ２５に保存された運行情報及び固有情報を読み出して無線用送受信器９に送信し、当該無線用送受信器９を介して運行管理サーバ４に送るように構成されている。 Since the sales management server 3 can obtain the sales status by transmitting the unique information as described above, the sales-related information to be transmitted is the unique information. However, if the information is necessary for obtaining the sales status, The information is not limited to the unique information, and any information may be used.
The second data transmission means 31 is for transmitting operation-related information (for example, unique information and operation information) necessary for obtaining the operation status to the operation management server 4, and the work equipment wireless terminal 5. The program is stored in the program. That is, the second data transmission means 31 reads the operation information and unique information stored in the internal memory 25 of the first control device 20 and transmits the operation information and the unique information to the wireless transceiver 9, via the wireless transceiver 9. It is configured to send to the operation management server 4.
　なお、上述したように固有情報や運行情報を送信することによって運行管理サーバ４が運行状況を求めることができるため、送信する運行関連情報を固有情報及び運行情報としているが運行状況を求めるために必要な情報であれば、固有情報と運行状況との２つに限定されず、どのような情報であってもよい。
　さて、トラクタ１は、店舗２に納入後に即座に売れるということは少なく、店舗２にある程度の期間保管されているのが実情である。そのため、店舗２における販売状況が短期間で変わることは少ない。ゆえに、販売状況を求めるために必要な販売関連情報は、頻繁に販売管理サーバ３に送る必要はなく、例えば、数日単位、一週間単位でもよい。店舗２が閉店する毎に販売関連情報を送る場合を考えても、短くて一日単位に当該販売関連情報を送信すればよい。 In addition, since the operation management server 4 can obtain the operation status by transmitting the unique information and the operation information as described above, the operation-related information to be transmitted is the unique information and the operation information. As long as it is necessary information, the information is not limited to the specific information and the operation status, and any information may be used.
Now, the tractor 1 is rarely sold immediately after being delivered to the store 2 and is actually stored in the store 2 for a certain period of time. Therefore, the sales situation in the store 2 is rarely changed in a short period. Therefore, the sales related information necessary for obtaining the sales situation does not need to be frequently sent to the sales management server 3, and may be, for example, a unit of several days or a week. Even if it is considered that the sales related information is sent every time the store 2 is closed, the sales related information may be transmitted in a short day.
　一方、トラクタ１をレンタルした場合は、一日単位でレンタルが完了することは少ないものの、貸し出していたトラクタ１が店舗２に戻ってきて、その日のうちに貸し出されることもある。例えば、朝に貸し出していたトラクタ１が戻ってきて同じ日の夕方に貸し出されるということがある。そのため、トラクタ１の運行状況は、出来るだけ早く知る必要がある。ゆえに、運行状況を求めるために必要な運行関連情報は、頻繁に運行管理サーバ４に送る必要があり、例えば、数分単位、数十分単位、数時間単位に送信する必要がある。 On the other hand, when the tractor 1 is rented, the rental is rarely completed on a daily basis, but the tractor 1 that has been rented may return to the store 2 and be rented on that day. For example, the tractor 1 lent out in the morning may come back and be lent out in the evening of the same day. Therefore, it is necessary to know the operation status of the tractor 1 as soon as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently send the operation related information necessary for obtaining the operation status to the operation management server 4, for example, in units of minutes, tens of minutes, or hours.
　このように、販売関連情報と運行関連情報との必要性（必要な頻度）が異なることから、作業機用無線端末５には、販売関連情報を送信する頻度と運行関連情報を送信する頻度とをそれぞれ設定する送信頻度設定手段３２が設けられている。この送信頻度設定手段３２は、当該作業機用無線端末５に格納されたプログラムや作業機１無線端末に接続されたスイッチやボリュームにより構成されている。上述したように、運行管理情報の送信頻度は、販売関連情報の送信頻度よりも高く（短く）設定することが好ましい。 Thus, since the necessity (necessary frequency) of sales related information and operation related information is different, the frequency of transmitting sales related information and the frequency of transmitting operation related information to the work equipment wireless terminal 5 The transmission frequency setting means 32 for setting each of the above is provided. The transmission frequency setting means 32 includes a program stored in the work machine radio terminal 5 and a switch or volume connected to the work machine 1 radio terminal. As described above, the operation management information transmission frequency is preferably set higher (shorter) than the sales-related information transmission frequency.
　以上、作業機１の総合管理システムによれば、作業機１の販売状況の管理を行う販売管理サーバ３と、作業機１の運行状況の管理を行う運行管理サーバ４と、作業機１に設けられて当該作業機１の情報を送信可能な作業機用無線端末５とを備え、作業機用無線端末５は、販売状況を求めるために必要な販売関連情報を販売管理サーバ３に送信する第１データ送信手段３０と、運行状況を求めるために必要な運行関連情報を運行管理サーバ４に送信する第２データ送信手段３１とを備えている。 As described above, according to the comprehensive management system of the work machine 1, the sales management server 3 that manages the sales status of the work machine 1, the operation management server 4 that manages the operation status of the work machine 1, and the work machine 1 are provided. And the work machine wireless terminal 5 capable of transmitting the information of the work machine 1, and the work machine wireless terminal 5 transmits the sales related information necessary for obtaining the sales status to the sales management server 3. 1 data transmission means 30 and the 2nd data transmission means 31 which transmits the operation relevant information required in order to obtain | require an operation condition to the operation management server 4 are provided.
　これによれば、販売関連情報と運行関連情報との必要性に応じて、作業機用無線端末５を用いて必要なときに販売関連情報や運行関連情報などを販売管理サーバ３や運行管理サーバ４に送信することができ、作業機１の情報を有効に活用することができる。
　また、作業機用無線端末５は、販売関連情報を送信する頻度と、運行関連情報を送信する頻度とをそれぞれ設定する送信頻度設定手段３２とを備えている。
　これによれば、販売関連情報と運行関連情報との必要性に応じて、必要なときに販売関連情報や運行関連情報などを販売管理サーバ３や運行管理サーバ４に送信することができ、作業機１の情報の有効活用を行うことができる。しかも、送信頻度を自在に変えることができるため、無駄な情報を送信すること防止することができ、作業機用無線端末５の消費電力などを低減することもできる。 According to this, according to the necessity of sales related information and operation related information, the sales management server 3 and the operation management server can store the sales related information and the operation related information when necessary using the wireless terminal 5 for work equipment. 4 and the information of the work machine 1 can be effectively used.
The work machine wireless terminal 5 includes transmission frequency setting means 32 for setting the frequency of transmitting sales related information and the frequency of transmitting operation related information.
According to this, according to the necessity of sales related information and operation related information, sales related information, operation related information, etc. can be transmitted to the sales management server 3 or the operation management server 4 when necessary. The information of the machine 1 can be used effectively. Moreover, since the transmission frequency can be freely changed, it is possible to prevent unnecessary information from being transmitted, and it is possible to reduce the power consumption of the work equipment wireless terminal 5 and the like.
　図１０は、作業機用無線端末の変形例を示したものである。
　上述した作業機用無線端末５では、販売関連情報を送信する頻度と運行関連情報を送信する頻度とをそれぞれ設定する送信頻度設定手段３２が具備されていたが、これに代え、作業機用無線端末５は第１データ送信手段３０と第２データ送信手段３１とを切り換える切換手段３３を備えている。 FIG. 10 shows a modification of the work equipment wireless terminal.
The work machine wireless terminal 5 described above includes the transmission frequency setting means 32 for setting the frequency of transmitting the sales related information and the frequency of transmitting the operation related information. The terminal 5 includes a switching unit 33 that switches between the first data transmission unit 30 and the second data transmission unit 31.
　この切換手段３３は、作業機用無線端末５が販売関連情報と運行関連情報との両方を送るようになっておらず、一方の情報のみを送信するようにしたものである。即ち、切換手段３３は、トラクタ１の販売成立前には第１データ送信手段３０の動作を許可すると共に、販売成立後には第２データ送信手段３１の動作を許可するように構成されている。詳しくは、作業機用無線端末５には、販売が完了したか否かを示す販売完了信号（販売完了のフラグ）Ｓ１を入力する販売状況入力部３４が備えられている。 The switching means 33 is configured such that the work machine wireless terminal 5 does not transmit both sales related information and operation related information, but transmits only one information. That is, the switching unit 33 is configured to permit the operation of the first data transmission unit 30 before the sales of the tractor 1 are established, and to permit the operation of the second data transmission unit 31 after the sale is established. Specifically, the work machine wireless terminal 5 includes a sales status input unit 34 for inputting a sales completion signal (sales completion flag) S1 indicating whether or not the sales are completed.
　この販売状況入力部３４に販売完了信号Ｓ１が入力されていない状態では、切換手段３３は、第１データ送信手段３０の動作を許可し、販売関連情報を販売管理サーバ３に送信する。なお、販売状況入力部３４に販売完了信号Ｓ１が入力されていない状態では、送信される情報は販売関連情報に固定されていて運行関連情報が外部に送信されることはない。 In a state where the sales completion signal S1 is not input to the sales status input unit 34, the switching unit 33 permits the operation of the first data transmission unit 30 and transmits the sales related information to the sales management server 3. In a state where the sales completion signal S1 is not input to the sales status input unit 34, the information to be transmitted is fixed to the sales related information, and the operation related information is not transmitted to the outside.
　一方、この販売状況入力部３４に販売完了信号Ｓ１が入力されると、切換手段３３は、第２データ送信手段３１の動作を許可し、運行関連情報を運行管理サーバ４に送信する。なお、販売完了信号Ｓ１が販売状況入力部３４に入力されると、送信される情報は運行関連情報に固定されていて販売関連情報が外部に送信されることはない。
　切換手段３３によって、トラクタ１の販売前では販売管理情報を送ることができ、トラクタ１の販売後では運行管理情報を送ることができる。 On the other hand, when the sales completion signal S <b> 1 is input to the sales status input unit 34, the switching unit 33 permits the operation of the second data transmission unit 31 and transmits operation related information to the operation management server 4. When the sales completion signal S1 is input to the sales status input unit 34, the transmitted information is fixed to the operation related information, and the sales related information is not transmitted to the outside.
By the switching means 33, the sales management information can be sent before the sale of the tractor 1, and the operation management information can be sent after the sale of the tractor 1.
　なお、販売状況入力部３４への販売完了信号Ｓ１の入力は、店舗２の販売員が無線用送受信器９を介して行っても良いし、無線通信を使用せずに店舗２の販売員が作業機用無線端末５にアクセスできる端末等を用いて直接作業機用無線端末５（販売状況入力部３４）に入力してもよい。或いは、販売管理サーバ３において、管理販売状況が販売済となったときに、販売管理サーバ３が無線用送受信器９を介して販売が完了した作業機用無線端末５（販売状況入力部３４）に入力してもよい。 Note that the sales completion signal S1 may be input to the sales status input unit 34 by the salesperson in the store 2 via the wireless transceiver 9 or by the salesperson in the store 2 without using wireless communication. You may input directly into the work machine radio | wireless terminal 5 (sales condition input part 34) using the terminal etc. which can access the work machine radio | wireless terminal 5. FIG. Alternatively, in the sales management server 3, when the management sales status is already sold, the work management wireless terminal 5 (sales status input unit 34) that has been sold by the sales management server 3 via the wireless transceiver 9. May be entered.
　また、作業機用無線端末５（販売状況入力部３４）に販売完了信号Ｓ１が入力されると、販売完了信号Ｓ１を保持することが好ましい。
  以上、この変形例によれば、作業機１に搭載した作業機用無線端末５によって、販売前（販売完了前）は販売状況を求めるための販売関連情報を販売管理サーバ３に送信することができ、販売後は運行状況を求めるための運行関連情報を運行管理サーバ４に送信することができるようになり、販売前後で作業機１の情報を活用して販売管理や運行管理を行うことができる。 In addition, when the sales completion signal S1 is input to the work equipment wireless terminal 5 (sales status input unit 34), it is preferable to hold the sales completion signal S1.
As described above, according to this modified example, before the sale (before the completion of sales), the sales related information for obtaining the sales status can be transmitted to the sales management server 3 by the work machine wireless terminal 5 mounted on the work machine 1. After sales, it becomes possible to transmit operation-related information for determining the operation status to the operation management server 4, and it is possible to perform sales management and operation management using the information of the work machine 1 before and after the sales. it can.
　なお、今回開示された実施の形態はすべての点で例示であって制限的なものではないと考えられるべきである。本発明の範囲は上記した説明ではなくて特許請求の範囲によって示され、特許請求の範囲と均等の意味及び範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
　上述した実施形態では、作業機用無線端末５は、自ら電波を発信するアクティブ型の無線機であったが、自ら電波を発信せず無線用送受信器３３からの電波によって情報を送信するパッシブ型の無線機であってもよい。また、上述したように、作業機１は、トラクタの他にバックホー、コンバインなどであってもよい。 The embodiment disclosed this time should be considered as illustrative in all points and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, rather than the description above, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
In the embodiment described above, the work machine radio terminal 5 is an active radio that transmits radio waves by itself. However, the work machine radio terminal 5 does not transmit radio waves by itself and transmits information by radio waves from the radio transceiver 33. It may be a wireless device. Further, as described above, the work implement 1 may be a backhoe, a combine, or the like in addition to the tractor.
　上述した実施形態では、固有情報が第１制御装置２０（制御装置）に保存されていて作業機用無線端末５は、第１制御装置２０に保存された固有情報を無線にて送信するようにしていたが、トラクタ１の固有情報は制御装置に保存されていなくてもよく、作業機用無線端末５が固有情報を有していて当該作業機用無線端末５が無線にて自ら有する固有情報を無線にて送信してもよい。 In the embodiment described above, the unique information is stored in the first control device 20 (control device), and the work machine wireless terminal 5 transmits the unique information stored in the first control device 20 wirelessly. However, the unique information of the tractor 1 may not be stored in the control device, and the work equipment wireless terminal 5 has the unique information, and the work equipment wireless terminal 5 itself has the wireless information. May be transmitted wirelessly.
　上述した実施形態では、作業機用無線端末５から送信された固有情報のみを用いて販売状況を求めるようにしていたが、これに代え、店舗用端末８を用いて販売管理サーバ３に店舗２における販売状況を通知しておき、店舗２から通知された販売状況（通知販売状況）と、上述したように作業機用無線端末５の固有情報から求めた販売状況（算出販売状況）とを比較し、比較した結果から実際の販売状況を推測するようにしてもよい。上述した実施形態では、制御装置と作業機用無線端末とは別体に構成していたが、制御装置と作業機用無線端末とを一体的に構成してもよい。 In the embodiment described above, the sales situation is obtained using only the unique information transmitted from the work machine wireless terminal 5. Instead, the store management server 3 is used to store the store 2 using the store terminal 8. The sales situation (notification sales situation) notified from the store 2 is compared with the sales situation (calculated sales situation) obtained from the specific information of the work equipment wireless terminal 5 as described above. Then, the actual sales situation may be estimated from the comparison result. In the embodiment described above, the control device and the work machine wireless terminal are configured separately, but the control device and the work machine wireless terminal may be configured integrally.
