Labor assistance system, management method for labor assistance system, and management program for labor assistance system

Abstract

The present invention appropriately manages a battery by driving a sensor by using the power of the battery, and by transmitting the results of measurement by the sensor by data communication using wireless communication. Detection devices that operate on battery power are retained at moving parts of an operation machine; posture information of the moving parts is detected by sensors provided to the detection devices and is transmitted from the detection devices by data communication using wireless communication; assistance information for assisting operations by an operator is generated on the basis of the posture information transmitted from the detection devices and is notified to the operator; remaining battery power information is acquired by the detection devices; and on the basis of the remaining battery power information and an operation plan of the operation machine, battery replacement timing is projected and is notified to the operator of the operation machine.

1 . A labor assistance system that:
 holds a detection device to operate by electric power of a battery, in a movable part of a working machine so as to detect posture information on the movable part with a sensor provided on the detection device and send the posture information from the detection device by data communications through wireless communications;   generates, based on the posture information sent from the detection device, assistance information for assisting an operator of the working machine in an operation so as to notify the operator of the assistance information; and   acquires residual life information on the battery from the detection device so as to estimate time for replacement of the battery based on the residual life information on the battery and information concerning a work scheme of the working machine and notify the operator of the time for replacement of the battery.   
     
     
         2 . The labor assistance system according to  claim 1 ,
 which acquires the information concerning the work scheme of the working machine from an external information appliance.   
     
     
         3 . The labor assistance system according to  claim 1 ,
 which notifies the operator of the working machine of the time for replacement of the battery through a mobile information terminal device.   
     
     
         4 . A management method for a labor assistance system,
 the labor assistance system:   holding a detection device to operate by electric power of a battery, in a movable part of a working machine so as to detect posture information on the movable part with a sensor provided on the detection device and send the posture information from the detection device by data communications through wireless communications; and   generating, based on the posture information sent from the detection device, assistance information for assisting an operator of the working machine in an operation so as to notify the operator of the assistance information,   the management method comprising:   acquiring residual life information on the battery from the detection device;   estimating time for replacement of the battery based on the residual life information on the battery and information concerning a work scheme of the working machine; and   notifying the operator of the time for replacement of the battery.   
     
     
         5 . A management program for a labor assistance system that is executed by an arithmetic processing circuit so as to perform a processing procedure specified,
 the labor assistance system:   holding a detection device to operate by electric power of a battery, in a movable part of a working machine so as to detect posture information on the movable part with a sensor provided on the detection device and send the posture information from the detection device by data communications through wireless communications; and   generating, based on the posture information sent from the detection device, assistance information for assisting an operator of the working machine in an operation so as to notify the operator of the assistance information,   the processing procedure including:   acquiring residual life information on the battery from the detection device;   estimating time for replacement of the battery based on the residual life information on the battery and information concerning a work scheme of the working machine; and   notifying the operator of the time for replacement of the battery.
