Abstract

A system control device ( 36 ): acquires the three-dimensional information of the work site, the weight of a load W, and the operating condition of the crane ( 1 ) via an input device ( 34 ) or a system-side communication device ( 33 ); upon acquiring the arrangement position and arrangement direction of the vehicle ( 2 ) at the work site via the input device ( 34 ), calculates the movable range of the crane ( 1 ) in the arrangement position and arrangement direction of the vehicle ( 2 ) taking the three-dimensional information of the work site into consideration; and overlays the image (M 1 ) of the crane ( 1 ) and the movable range (A) on the two-dimensional image or the three-dimensional image of the work site displayed on a display device ( 35 ).

Claims (18)

1. A movable range display system comprising:

a first acquisition unit configured to acquire three-dimensional information of a work site;

a second acquisition unit configured to acquire an operating condition of a crane in which a boom is provided in a travelling body and a weight of a load carried by the crane;

a third acquisition unit configured to acquire an arrangement position and an arrangement direction of the travelling body at the work site;

a calculation unit configured to calculate a movable range of the crane in the arrangement position and the arrangement direction of the travelling body on a basis of the three-dimensional information of the work site, the operating condition, and the weight of the load;

a display unit configured to display an image indicating the work site, an image indicating the crane, and the movable range in an overlaid manner; and

an input unit configured to receive, by an operator, an input of an arbitrary value regarding the operating condition of the crane and the arrangement position and arrangement direction of the travelling body of the crane,

wherein the movable range of the crane is calculated by excluding, from a first range in which a tip of the boom can reach in the work site in a state where the load is suspended on the boom, a second range in which the boom has a possibility to interfere with a feature in the work site,

wherein the movable range display system is configured to execute a first mode for displaying the movable range of the crane when the travelling body is at a current arrangement position and arrangement direction, and a second mode for displaying the movable range of the crane when the travelling body is at an arrangement position and arrangement direction input to the input unit,

wherein the second acquisition unit is further configured to acquire a current state of the crane as the operating condition in the first mode, and acquire the operating condition input to the input unit in the second mode,

wherein the third acquisition unit is further configured to acquire the current arrangement position and arrangement direction of the travelling body based on a signal of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver of the crane in the first mode, and acquire the operating condition input to the input unit in the second mode,

wherein the calculation unit is further configured to calculate the movable range in the current arrangement position and arrangement direction of the travelling body based on current operating conditions of the crane in the first mode, and calculate the movable range in the arrangement position and arrangement direction of the travelling body input to the input unit in the second mode, and

wherein the first acquisition unit, the second acquisition unit, the third acquisition unit, the calculation unit, the display unit, and the input unit are each implemented via at least one processor.

2. The movable range display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the calculation unit is further configured to calculate a moving direction and a moving distance from a current arrangement position of the travelling body based on a signal of the GNSS receiver of the crane to the arbitrary arrangement position, and a moving angle from a current arrangement direction of the travelling body based on the signal to the arbitrary arrangement direction.

3. The movable range display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the movable range display system is incorporated in a mobile terminal, and

the display unit is further configured to display a position of the mobile terminal in an image indicating the work site.
