Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods for sensing wear in machines designed to reduce or break-down material. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to systems and methods for sensing wear of reducing elements used by excavation machines such as surface excavation machines. The present disclosure relates to a wear sensing system including a multi-level wear sensor protection system. The multi-level wear sensor protection system includes a first level of protection, a second level of protection, and a third level of protection.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to display structures for displaying the wear status of reducing elements (e.g., chisels, teeth, etc.) on a reducing component. In certain examples, the display structure can include a matrix that visually depicts all of the reducing elements of the reducing component in a row and column format. The wear status of the reducing elements can be indicated by techniques such as different colors, different numbers, different letters, shapes, bar codes etc. Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to an autonomous system where a remote party can simultaneously monitor the wear status of the reducing elements of multiple machines on the display structure. For each machine, the remote party (e.g., operator, supply source, supervisor, and main office) can each receive a wireless signal indicating when the reducing elements are approaching a need for replacement.

Abstract translation: 本公开的方面涉及用于显示减少部件上的还原元件（例如，凿子，齿等）的磨损状态的显示结构。 在某些示例中，显示结构可以包括以行和列格式视觉地描绘还原组件的所有减少元素的矩阵。 还原元件的磨损状态可以由诸如不同颜色，不同数量，不同字母，形状，条形码等的技术来指示。本公开的另一方面涉及一种自主系统，其中远程方可以同时监视磨损状态 的显示结构上的多台机器的减少元件。 对于每个机器，远程方（例如，操作员，供应源，主管和主办公室）可以各自接收无线信号，指示减少元件何时接近需要更换。
