Abstract

Provided is a display system including: a display unit which displays an image; a vehicle body position data acquisition unit which acquires vehicle body position data indicating a position of a vehicle body supporting a work machine; a process position data storage unit which stores process position data indicating a process position of a process target processed by the work machine; and a display controller which displays an image indicating the process position based on the process position data and an image indicating a specific position of the vehicle body on the display unit.

Claims (41)

1. A display system comprising:

a display unit which displays an image;

a vehicle body position data acquisition unit which acquires vehicle body position data indicating a position of a vehicle body supporting a work machine;

a process position data storage unit which stores process position data indicating a process position of a process target processed by the work machine; and

a display controller which displays an image indicating the process position based on the process position data on the display unit along with a top view image of a construction machine based on the vehicle body position data and displays, on the top view image, an image indicating a specific position representing a positional relation between the process position;

wherein the work machine includes a working member including a blade tip and a connection member connecting the working member and the vehicle body to each other,

wherein the display system further comprises a blade tip position data acquisition unit which acquires blade tip position data indicating a position of the blade tip, and

wherein the display controller displays an image indicating the position of the blade tip based on the blade tip position data on the display unit along with the image indicating the process position and the image indicating the specific position.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller displays the top view image on the display unit along with the image indicating the specific position.

3. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the process position includes a center of a channel constructed by the work machine in a width direction.

4. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle body includes an upper swing body which is able to swing about a swing axis while being supported by a lower travel body, and wherein the specific position includes the swing axis of the upper swing body.

5. A display system which is mounted on an excavator including a work machine and a vehicle body supporting the work machine,

wherein the work machine includes a working member including a blade tip and a connection member connecting the working member and the vehicle body to each other,

wherein the vehicle body includes an upper swing body which is able to swing about a swing axis while being supported by a lower travel body,

wherein the display system comprises:

a display unit which displays an image;

a vehicle body position data acquisition unit which acquires vehicle body position data indicating a position of the vehicle body;

a process position data storage unit which stores process position data indicating a process position of a process target including a center of a channel constructed by the work machine in a width direction;

a blade tip position data acquisition unit which acquires blade tip position data indicating a position of the blade tip; and

a display controller which displays an image indicating the process position based on the process position data, on the display unit along with a top view image of a construction machine based on the vehicle body position data and displays, on the top view image, an image indicating a specific position representing a positional relation between the process position and the construction machine and a top view image indicating the position of the blade tip based on the blade tip position data in the top view displayed and representing a positional relation between the position of the blade, the process position and the specific position in the top view on the display unit together.

6. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the display unit and an input/output unit are provided outside the vehicle body.

7. A construction machine comprising: the display system according to claim 1 .

8. The display system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the work machine includes a working member including a blade tip and a connection member connecting the working member and the vehicle body to each other,

wherein the display system further comprises a blade tip position data acquisition unit which acquires blade tip position data indicating a position of the blade tip, and

wherein the display controller displays an image indicating the position of the blade tip based on the blade tip position data in the top view displayed on the display unit along with the image indicating the process position and the image indicating the specific position.

9. The display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the work machine includes a working member including a blade tip and a connection member connecting the working member and the vehicle body to each other,

wherein the display system further comprises a blade tip position data acquisition unit which acquires blade tip position data indicating a position of the blade tip, and

wherein the display controller displays an image indicating the position of the blade tip based on the blade tip position data in the top view displayed on the display unit along with the image indicating the process position and the image indicating the specific position.

10. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein the process position includes a center of a channel constructed by the work machine in a width direction.

11. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the process position includes a center of a channel constructed by the work machine in a width direction.

12. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein the process position includes a center of a channel constructed by the work machine in a width direction.

13. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein the vehicle body includes an upper swing body which is able to swing about a swing axis while being supported by a lower travel body, and wherein the specific position includes the swing axis of the upper swing body.

14. The display system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the vehicle body includes an upper swing body which is able to swing about a swing axis while being supported by a lower travel body, and

wherein the specific position includes the swing axis of the upper swing body.

15. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein the display unit and an input/output unit are provided outside the vehicle body.

16. The display system according to claim 5 , wherein the display unit and an input/output unit are provided outside the vehicle body.

17. A construction machine comprising: the display system according to claim 2 .

18. A construction machine comprising: the display system according to claim 5 .
