Abstract

A work machine includes an undercarriage, a swing body swingably supported by the undercarriage, and work equipment operably supported by the swing body. A control system controls the work machine. The control system includes a processor. The processor generates a design plane that is defined by a plane on a vehicle body coordinate system of which origin is a representative point of a swing body. The processor rotationally converts the design plane around the origin of the vehicle body coordinate system in association with a swing of the swing body. The processor specifies a position of the work equipment in the vehicle body coordinate system. The processor controls the work equipment based on the specified position of the work equipment and the design plane.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A control system that controls a work machine including an undercarriage configured to travel, a swing body configured to be swingably supported by the undercarriage, and work equipment configured to be operably supported by the swing body, the control system comprising:
 a processor that
 generates a design plane that is defined by a plane on a vehicle body coordinate system of which origin is a representative point of the swing body, 
 rotationally converts the design plane around the origin of the vehicle body coordinate system in association with a swing of the swing body, 
 specifies a position of the work equipment in the vehicle body coordinate system, and 
 controls the work equipment based on the specified position of the work equipment and the design plane. 
   
     
     
         2 . The control system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the processor
 acquires a measurement value from an inclination measurer that measures the posture of the swing body, 
 calculates an amount of change in a posture caused by the swing of the swing body based on the measurement value, and 
 rotationally converts the design plane based on the amount of change in the posture. 
   
     
     
         3 . The control system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the processor moves the design plane based on a difference between
 a first position that is a position of the work equipment in the vehicle body coordinate system when the work equipment is positioned at a reference point of a site at a first time, and 
 a second position that is a position of the work equipment in the vehicle body coordinate system when the work equipment is positioned at the reference point at a second time. 
   
     
     
         4 . The control system according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the first time is a time before traveling by the undercarriage, and   the second time is a time after traveling by the undercarriage.   
     
     
         5 . A control method of a work machine including an undercarriage configured to travel, a swing body configured to be swingably supported by the undercarriage, and work equipment configured to be operably supported by the swing body, the control method comprising:
 generating a design plane that is defined by a plane on a vehicle body coordinate system of which origin is a representative point of the swing body;   rotationally converting the design plane around the origin of the vehicle body coordinate system in association with a swing of the swing body;   specifying a position of the work equipment in the vehicle body coordinate system; and   controlling the work equipment based on the specified position of the work equipment and the design plane.   
     
     
         6 . A control program causing a computer of a work machine including an undercarriage configured to travel, a swing body configured to be swingably supported by the undercarriage, and work equipment configured to be operably supported by the swing body, to execute:
 a step of generating a design plane that is defined by a plane on a vehicle body coordinate system of which origin is a representative point of the swing body;   a step of rotationally converting the design plane around the origin of the vehicle body coordinate system in association with a swing of the swing body;   a step of specifying a position of the work equipment in the vehicle body coordinate system; and   a step of controlling the work equipment based on the specified position of the work equipment and the design plane.
