A work vehicle includes: a display device provided in a cab and configured to display work assistance information to be overlaid on an actual view of a work site; a bucket position detector configured to detect a position of a bucket; and a display controller configured to control a content to be displayed on the display device and configured to cause the work assistance information to be displayed around the bucket while causing the work assistance information to follow the movement of the bucket based on the detected position. When work assistance information becomes close to a boundary of a display area of the display device due to the movement of the bucket, the display controller is configured to cause the work assistance information to be displayed on the display device with a relative position between the work assistance information and the bucket in the display area being changed.

Work vehicle and display control method

A work vehicle includes a work implement, a main body, a bucket position detector, a display device, and a display controller. The work implement has a bucket. To the main body, the work implement is attached, and the main body has a cab. The bucket position detector detects a position of the bucket. The display device is provided in the cab and configured to overlay and thus display work assistance information on an actual view of a work site. The display controller is configured to change displaying of the work assistance information on the display device based on a distance between the position of the bucket detected by the bucket position detector and design topography.

Work vehicle and method for controlling work vehicle

A work vehicle includes: a main body having a cab; a display device provided in the cab and configured to display work assistance information to be overlaid on an actual view of a work site; a display controller configured to cause the work assistance information to be displayed on the display device; and a bucket position detector configured to detect a position of a bucket relative to the main body. The display controller is configured to cause a display position of the work assistance information on the display device to follow a movement of the bucket. The display controller is configured to change a display manner of the work assistance information on the display device based on the position detected by the bucket position detector, when the bucket is moved relative to the cab in a forward direction and a rearward direction.

A work vehicle includes: a work implement having a bucket; a main body to which the work implement is attached, and having a cab; a display device provided in the cab and configured to overlay and thus display work assistance information on an actual view of a work site; a bucket teeth position calculator configured to calculate a position of teeth of the bucket of the work implement in an available display area of the display device; and a following process unit configured to display the work assistance information to follow movement of the bucket of the work implement in the available display area of the display device only at a position above the position of the teeth of the bucket of the work implement as calculated by the bucket teeth position calculator.

A work vehicle includes a work implement, a main body, a display device, and a display controller. To the main body, the work implement is attached, and the main body has a cab. The display device is provided in the cab and configured to overlay and thus display work assistance information on an actual view of a work site. The display controller causes the display device to display target design topography as work assistance information. When a work starts, the display controller causes the display device to display final target design topography that is achieved after the work is completed, and subsequently, switches to displaying target design topography to be achieved depending on a working step performed.

A display system for an excavating machine allowing an upper swing body including a work implement to swing about a predetermined swing central axis. The display system includes a processing unit that obtains target swing information indicating an amount of swing of the upper swing body, based on information including a direction of a tooth edge of the bucket, information including a direction orthogonal to a target plane indicating a target shape of a work object, and information including a direction of the swing central axis, and displays an image corresponding to the obtained target swing information, the amount of swing being required for the tooth edge of the bucket to face the target plane, and the direction of the tooth edge of the bucket being determined based on information about a current position and posture of the excavating machine.

Display system for excavating machine, excavating machine, and display method for excavating machine

An excavating machine obtains first and second target swing information indicating an amount of rotation of the work implement, based on a direction of a tooth edge of the bucket, a direction orthogonal to the target plane, and a direction of a swing central axis, and selects the first or second target swing information, based on the obtained first and second target swing information and a first angle and a second angle, and displays the selected target swing information, the amount of rotation being required for the tooth edge to face the target plane, the first angle being a minimum value and the second angle being a maximum value among angles formed by an axis orthogonal to the swing central axis and parallel to an operating plane of the work implement, and imaginary lines passing through the swing central axis and ends of the target plane.

A display system of an excavating machine that includes a work machine having a bucket, and a main body to which the work machine is attached, the display system includes: a storage unit configured to store at least position information of a design surface; a display unit configured to display the position information of the design surface on a screen; and a processing unit configured to display an outer edge of a second plane of the design surface, the second plane including a first plane existing in the design surface, the second plane existing in a part of a periphery of the first plane, on the screen of the display unit, in a different form from inside and outside of the outer edge.

Display system of excavating machine and excavating machine

The display system of the excavating machine has a work machine condition detection unit which detects information related to a current position of an excavating machine and a processing unit. This processing unit calculates an icon display of the bucket and the positions of the excavation edge portions viewed from a top of the excavating machine based on the information related to the current position of the excavating machine, the information related to the posture of the main body, the information about the positions of the excavation edge portions and the outer shape information about the bucket, and displays on a screen of a display device the target surface, the icon display position of the bucket, and an image which indicates the positions of the excavation edge portions.
