Display device for working machine
The invention is directed to a display device for working vehicle, which is adapted so that additional information can be displayed. In the invention, display indication marks of the two types can be interchangeably displayed on a common display screen of a limited area without reducing the sizes of the individual marks, so that neither a larger size of a display device nor a drop in the visibility of the indication marks is necessary. This enables the driver to control a working machine such as a construction machine and have additional information about the construction machine without any trouble in the driving.
1. A display device for a working machine, comprising:

means for detecting abnormality in the state of the working machine;
means for determining a state indication mark having a lowest display priority;
means for, responsive to a detected abnormality in the state of the working machine, displaying a caution mark indicating the detected abnormality, the caution mark being displayed at the display segment corresponding to the determined state indication mark having lowest display priority.
2. The display device for a working machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the working machine includes a running equipment and a working equipment, and
wherein, in another of the display segments other than that displaying the predetermined state indication mark baying lowest display priority, at least one other state indication mark that indicates the running state and/or the working state of the working machine is displayed, and the display in the another of the display segments is not changed when the abnormality in the state of the working machine occurs.
3. The display device for a working machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein, when a change corresponding to the caution mark occurs while the caution mark is being displayed, both the caution mark and one of the plurality of state indication marks are displayed in the display segment corresponding to the determined state indication mark having lowest display priority.
4. The display device for a working machine according to claim 1 , wherein a display size of at least one of the plurality of state indication marks other than the predetermined state indication mark having lowest display priority is reduced.
5. The display device for a working machine according to claim 1 , wherein the caution mark has an enlarged area compared to the predetermined state indication mark having lowest display priority.
6. A display device for a working machine, comprising:
a display screen having a plurality of display segments;
a controller displaying a plurality of state indication marks indicating working state of the working machine on the display screen, each of the state indication marks being displayed in each of the display segments, and each of the state indication marks being associated with a display priority, the controller:
detecting abnormality in the state of the working machine,
determining a state indication mark having a lowest display priority; and
displaying a caution mark indicating the detected abnormality in response to a detected abnormality in the state of the working machine, the caution mark being displayed at the display segment corresponding to the determined state indication mark having lowest display priority.
7. The display device for a working machine according to claim 6 ,
wherein the working machine includes a running equipment and a working equipment, and
wherein, in another of the display segments other than that displaying the predetermined state indication mark having lowest display priority, at least one other state indication mark that indicates the running state and/or the working state of the working machine is displayed, and a display in the another of the display segments is not changed when the abnormality in the state of the working machine occurs.
8. The display device for a working machine according to claim 7 ,
wherein, when a change corresponding to the caution mark occurs while the caution mark is being displayed, both the caution mark and one of the plurality of state indication marks are displayed in the display segment corresponding to the determined state indication mark having lowest display priority.
9. The display device for a working machine according to claim 7 , wherein a display size of at least one of the plurality of state indication marks other than the predetermined state indication mark having lowest display priority is reduced.
10. The display device for a working machine according to claim 7 , wherein the caution mark has an enlarged area compared to the predetermined state indication mark having lowest display priority.
11. A display device for a working machine, comprising:
a display screen having a plurality of display segments;
a plurality of state indication marks indicating working state of the working machine, each of the state indication marks being displayed in each of the display segments, and each of the state indication marks being associated with a display priority;
means for receiving an input from a sensor arranged in the working machine that is independent of operator input;
means for determining a state indication mark having a lowest display priority;
means for, responsive to the signal is input from the sensor arranged in the working machine tat is independent of operator input, displaying a caution mark indicating the input signal, the caution mark being displayed at the display segment corresponding to the determined state indication mark having lowest display priority.
12. A display device for a working machine, comprising:
a display screen having a plurality of display segments;
a controller displaying a plurality of state indication marks indicating working state of the working machine on the display screen, each of the state indication marks being displayed in each of the display segments, and each of the state indication marks being associated with a display priority, the controller;
receiving an input from a sensor arranged in the working machine that is independent of operator input,
determining a state indication mark having a lowest display priority; and
displaying a caution mark in response to the input from the sensor arranged in the working machine that is independent of operator input, the caution mark being displayed at the display segment corresponding to the determined state indication mark having lowest display priority.
