Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An operation assistance system for a work machine includes an operation assistance function and a work assistance function. Both of the operation assistance function and the work assistance function are switchable between enabled and disabled states. When the work assistance function is in an enabled state and when the work area is set outside of the stop area to surround the stop area, the operation assistance system sets the work area as the stop area such that the stop area is extended and overlaid on the work area, and automatically enables the operation assistance function when the operation assistance function is in a disabled state.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An operation assistance system for a work machine comprising: an operation assistance function of stopping a work machine when an object is detected in a stop area set in advance based on detection information from a detection device that detects an object around the work machine with a work implement; and a work assistance function of preventing the work machine from going out of a work area set in advance based on attitude information of the work machine, wherein both of the operation assistance function and the work assistance function are switchable between enabled and disabled states, when the work assistance function is in an enabled state and when the work area is set outside of the stop area to surround the stop area, the operation assistance system sets the work area as the stop area such that the stop area is extended and overlaid on the work area, and automatically enables the operation assistance function when the operation assistance function is in a disabled state, the work machine is one of a wheel loader, a crane, a bulldozer, a dump, or a road machine, and the one of a wheel loader, a crane, a bulldozer, a dump, or a road machine is controlled in accordance with at least the operation assistance function and the work assistance function. 2. The operation assistance system for a work machine according to claim 1 , wherein when the work area is set as the stop area such that the stop area is extended and overlaid on the work area, and when a deceleration area is set outside of the set stop area and an object is detected in the deceleration area based on detection information from the detection device, the operation assistance system decelerates the work machine. 3. The operation assistance system for a work machine according to claim 1 , wherein when the work area is set as the stop area such that the stop area is extended and overlaid on the work area, and when a notification area is set outside of the set stop area and an object is detected in the notification area based on detection information from the detection device, the operation assistance system makes a notification from a notification unit provided in the operation assistance system. 4. The operation assistance system for a work machine according to claim 1 , wherein when an area including an outside of a detectable area of the detection device is set as the work area, the operation assistance system sets as a work area an area simultaneously satisfying both of the detectable area and the area set as the work area.
