Abstract

A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body, a cab mounted on the upper turning body, an attachment including a working part configured to perform work, and a display device provided in the cab. The display device is configured to display information related to the time of the last adjustment of the information of the working part.

Claims (32)

1. A shovel comprising:

a lower traveling body;

an upper turning body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body;

a cab mounted on the upper turning body;

an attachment attached to the upper turning body and including a working part configured to perform work at an end of the attachment; and

a display device provided in the cab,

wherein the display device is configured to simultaneously display a value of a parameter of the working part, the parameter being a target of adjustment, and time information at a time of a last adjustment of the parameter of the working part.

2. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the time information at the time of the last adjustment of the parameter of the working part is information including at least one of a date and time, a cumulative operating time of an engine, a cumulative usage time of the working part, and a cumulative operating time of the attachment.

3. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display device is configured to display the time information at the time of the last adjustment of the parameter of the working part when an adjustment screen for adjusting the parameter of the working part is displayed.

4. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display device is configured to further display information indicating a necessity of an adjustment of the working part, in response to a passage of a predetermined time since the last adjustment of the working part.

5. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display device is configured to further display time information at a time of a last setting of the parameter of the working part.

6. The shovel as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the display device is configured to display the time information at the time of the last setting of the parameter of the working part when a setting screen for setting the parameter of the working part is displayed.

7. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a value related to a length of an end attachment is displayed together with an image representing the end attachment on the display device, the image including an arm top pin position, a bucket link pin position, and the working part.

8. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a length of a line segment connecting an end position of the working part and an attachment position of the working part is displayed on the display device.

9. The shovel as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a type of an end attachment including the working part is displayed on the display device.

10. A method of displaying information of a working part of an attachment of a shovel, the attachment including the working part at an end of the attachment, the method comprising:

causing a value of a parameter of the working part, the parameter being a target of adjustment, and time information at a time of a last adjustment of the parameter of the working part to be simultaneously displayed on a display device of the shovel.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the time information at the time of the last adjustment of the parameter of the working part is displayed on the display device when an adjustment screen for adjusting the parameter of the working part is displayed on the display device.

12. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a value related to a length of an end attachment is displayed together with an image representing the end attachment on the display device, the image including an arm top pin position, a bucket link pin position, and the working part.

13. The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein a length of a line segment connecting an end position of the working part and an attachment position of the working part is displayed on the display device.

14. A mobile terminal connected to a shovel through a communications network, comprising:

a receiver configured to simultaneously receive a value of a parameter of a working part of the shovel, the parameter being a target of adjustment, and time information at a time of a last adjustment of the parameter of the working part, the value and the time information being transmitted from the shovel.

15. The mobile terminal as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the parameter includes a length of a line segment connecting an end position of the working part and an attachment position of the working part.

16. A shovel comprising:

a lower traveling body;

an upper turning body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body;

a cab mounted on the upper turning body;

an attachment attached to the upper turning body and including a working part configured to perform work at an end of the attachment;

a posture sensor attached to the attachment;

a hardware processor configured to calculate a position of the working part based on a detection value of the posture sensor and set information of the working part; and

a display device provided in the cab,

wherein the display device is configured to display time information at a time of a last adjustment of the set information of the working part.
