Shovel
A shovel includes a lower-part traveling body; an upper-part swing body rotatably provided above the lower-part traveling body; an object detecting device provided in the upper-part swing body; a controller as a control device provided in the upper-part swing body; and at least one driven body configured to be operated by an actuator. The object detecting device is configured to detect another shovel in a detection space set around the shovel. The controller is configured to vary a movable range being a range accessible to the driven body, based on a state of an object detected by the object detecting device.

driven bodies including the lower-part traveling body, the upper-part swing body, a boom, an arm, and an attachment, and configured to be operated by an actuator through the operating device,
wherein the object detecting device is configured to detect an object in a detection space set around the shovel, and
wherein the control device is configured to
determine whether the driven bodies are operating through the operating device,
vary, upon determining that at least one of the driven bodies is operating, a size of a movable range being a range accessible to the at least one of the driven bodies, based on a state of the detected object, and
prohibit, upon determining that at least one of the driven bodies is not operating, operation of the at least one of the driven bodies based on the state of the detected object.
2. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein information about the state of the object detected by the object detecting device includes information about a change in a location of the object and includes information about a change in a pose of the object.
3. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to determine whether the object present in the detection space and out of a workspace included in the detection space is likely to enter the workspace, based on an output of the object detecting device over a previously predetermined period.
4. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to acquire information about the state of the object in the detection space, via at least one from among the object detecting device, and a communication device that controls communication with the object in the detection space.
5. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to receive information about operational content for the object in the detection space, via a communication device.
6. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to receive, via a communication device, information about a change in a location of the object in the detection space; and information about a change in a pose of the object in the detection space.
7. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to receive information about a change in a location of the object in the detection space, via a communication device.
8. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to transmit, to a management device, information about a change in a location of the shovel; and information about a change in a pose of the shovel.
9. The shovel according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to
detect a change in the state of the detected object, based on an output of the object detecting device, and
increase and decrease the size of the movable range, upon detecting the change in the state of the detected object.
10. A shovel comprising:
a lower-part traveling body;
an upper-part swing body rotatably provided above the lower-part traveling body;
an object detecting device provided in the upper-part swing body;
a control device provided in the upper-part swing body;
an operating device coupled to the control device; and
driven bodies including the lower-part traveling body, the upper-part swing body, a boom, an arm, and an end attachment, and configured to be operated by an actuator,
wherein the object detecting device is configured to detect an object in a detection space set around the shovel,
wherein the control device is configured to:
determine whether the driven bodies are operating through the operating device,
variably set, upon determining that at least one of the driven bodies is operating, a movable range being a range accessible to the at least one of the driven bodies, based on a state of the object in the detection space to allow movement of the driven body in the movable range, and
prohibit, upon determining that at least one of the driven bodies is not operating, movement of the at least one of the driven bodies based on the state of the detected object, and
wherein the control device is configured to: variably set the movable range, such that the movable range decreases upon determining that the object in the detection space moves closer to the shovel or is estimated to move closer to the shovel; or variably set the movable range, such that the movable range increases upon determining that the object in the detection space moves away from the shovel or is estimated to move away from the shovel.
11. The shovel according to claim 10 , wherein the state of the object in the detection space is a current state or a future state of the object.
12. The shovel according to claim 10 , wherein the control device is configured to: monitor movement of the object present in the detection space and out of a workspace included in the detection space; and brake the driven body upon determining that the object is likely to enter the workspace.
13. The shovel according to claim 10 , wherein the control device is configured to: monitor movement of the object present in the detection space and out of a workspace included in the detection space; variably set, upon determining that the object is likely to enter the workspace, the movable range based on the state of the object to allow the movement of the driven body in the movable range.
14. The shovel according to claim 10 , wherein the driven bodies includes a swing mechanism, and the end attachment includes a bucket.
15. A shovel comprising:
a lower-part traveling body;
an upper-part swing body rotatably provided above the lower-part traveling body;
