Abstract

A method of managing a breakdown of construction equipment according to the present disclosure includes: requesting, by a diagnosis device of the construction equipment, state information from a plurality of vehicle control devices; confirming, by the diagnosis device, the state information received from the plurality of vehicle control devices; transmitting, by the diagnosis device, breakdown information to a peripheral communication terminal or a control server when the plurality of vehicle control devices has a problem according to the state information; receiving, by the diagnosis device, a breakdown part and a current workable range of the construction equipment from the communication terminal or the control server; and displaying the breakdown part and the current workable range of the construction equipment on a gauge panel.

Claims (25)

1. A method of managing a breakdown of construction equipment, comprising:

requesting, by a diagnosis device of the construction equipment, state information from a plurality of vehicle control devices;

confirming, by the diagnosis device, state information received from the plurality of vehicle control devices;

transmitting, by the diagnosis device, breakdown information to a peripheral communication terminal or a control server when at least one of the plurality of vehicle control devices has a problem according to the state information;

receiving, by the diagnosis device, a breakdown part and a current workable range of the construction equipment based on a result of an analysis of the breakdown information from the communication terminal or the control server, the current workable range of the construction equipment including at least one of a swing operation, an excavation operation, a travelling operation, a loading operation, a delivering operation, and a transmission operation; and

displaying the breakdown part and the current workable range of the construction equipment on a gauge panel,

wherein the current workable range is a list of one or more available operations of the construction equipment having the breakdown part.

2. A method of managing a breakdown of construction equipment, comprising:

requesting, by a diagnosis device of the construction equipment, state information from a plurality of vehicle control devices;

confirming, by the diagnosis device, the state information received from the plurality of vehicle control devices;

transmitting, by the diagnosis device, breakdown information to a peripheral communication terminal or a control server when at least one of the plurality of vehicle control devices has a problem according to the state information;

analyzing, by the communication terminal or the control server, the breakdown information; and

displaying, by the communication terminal or the control server, an analysis result of the breakdown information and a current workable range of the construction equipment based on a result of the analysis of the breakdown information and a function on a screen of the communication terminal, the current workable range of the construction equipment including at least one of a swing operation, an excavation operation, a travelling operation, a loading operation, a delivering operation, and a transmission operation,

wherein the current workable range is a list of one or more available operations of the construction equipment having the breakdown part.

3. A diagnosis device of construction equipment, comprising:

a CAN bus configured to allow CAN communications between a plurality of vehicle control devices and a microcontroller;

a communications interface configured to transmit state information of at least one of the plurality of vehicle control devices to a peripheral communication terminal or a control server;

a memory device configured to store the state information received from the plurality of vehicle control devices; and

the microcontroller configured to:

request the state information from the plurality of vehicle control devices;

transmit breakdown information to the communication terminal or the control server through the communications interface when at least one of the plurality of vehicle control devices has a problem according to the state information;

receive data including a breakdown part and a current workable range of the construction equipment based on a result of analysis of the breakdown information through the communications interface from the peripheral communication terminal or the control server, the current workable range of the construction equipment including at least one of a swing operation, an excavation operation, a travelling operation, a loading operation, a delivering operation, and a transmission operation; and

transmit the received data to a gauge panel through the CAN bus,

wherein the gauge panel displays the received data, and

wherein the current workable range is a list of one or more available operations of the construction equipment having the breakdown part.
