摘要:
Systems and methods for automatic unloading of harvested material from a grain cart to storage compartment(s). In response to activation of the system by an operator, harvested material can be automatically unloaded into the storage compartment based on a predetermined fill profile. The fill profile can provide an indication of the maximum height, weight, and distribution profile(s), among other information, for the one or more piles of the harvested material that are to be formed in the storage compartment. Information provided from a sensor can be utilized by a controller to determine whether adjustments are to be made during the unloading of the harvested material so as to attain the fill profile. Such adjustments can relate to the rate, quantity, and/or location at which harvested material is being unloaded into the storage compartment, as well as a speed and direction of travel of the grain cart.

The present disclosure relates to a mobility capable of automating loading and unloading of a cargo without the aid of manpower and an apparatus for loading and unloading a cargo. The mobility includes a cargo hold that accommodates a cargo; and a loading plate positioned to be spaced apart from a bottom of the cargo hold and installed so as to be able to tilt toward any one side of the mobility in the cargo hold.

A horizontal ejection system for a vehicle. An ejector is adapted to travel axially through the interior from the front to the back of the truck body. A hydraulic system includes a hydraulic circuit for moving the ejector, and an ejector signal processing system signals the hydraulic circuit. The ejector signal processing system includes one or more proximity switches for detecting the location of the ejector and triggering the movement of the ejector. The switches are disposed on the truck body to sense the location of both the ejector and the tailgate. As a result, the hydraulic circuit is signaled to control the hydraulic system and thereby move the ejector based on a position of the ejector and the tailgate, wherein, in combination, the ejector and the tailgate control a load of material within the truck body.

A robotic truck unloader for unloading/unpacking product, such as boxes or cases, from trailers and containers is disclosed. In one embodiment, a mobile base structure provides a support framework for a drive subassembly, a conveyance subassembly, an industrial robot, a pivoting front conveyor, a distance measurement subassembly, and a control subassembly. The control subassembly coordinates the selective articulated movement of the industrial robot and the pivoting front conveyor as well as the activation of the drive subassembly based upon a perception-based robotic manipulation system. The robotic truck unloader executes pick-and-scoop operations utilizing the industrial robot and the pivoting front conveyor. Automated error handling is also provided.

A robotic carton unloader for unloading cartons in a carton pile has a mobile body and a movable robotic arm attached to the mobile body that has an end effector at a movable end thereof to unload cartons from the carton pile. A conveyor system is attached to the mobile body and extends from front to rear of the carton unloader to convey cartons received thereon by the moveable robotic arm. The conveyor system comprises a central portion carried on the mobile body and a front portion extending therefrom towards the carton pile. The front portion is configured to change width from narrow to wider to act as a shield to catch and then move falling cartons received thereon.

A refuse truck has a container for receiving refuse, and a packer panel for compacting refuse. The forces for compacting refuse are provided by hydraulic cylinders. The hydraulic cylinders extend through and are coupled to the packer panel. The hydraulic cylinders are telescopic or rod cylinders that have an open length several times their closed length. The hydraulic cylinders provide bi-directional forces so that the packer panel can be pushed away from or pulled towards the front wall of the container.

A loading assembly including a static or mobile frame having a platform adjustably supported thereon and a hopper for containment of material to be loaded being movable relative to the platform between a loading position and an unloading position. A positioning assembly is adjustably interconnected to the frame and cooperatively disposed and structured relative to the platform and hopper to facilitate disposition of the hopper between the loading and unloading positions. The positioning assembly is further structured to assume a retaining relation to the material initially loaded into the hopper and subsequently being unloaded from said hopper, concurrently to the movement of the hopper from the unloading position to the loading position.

A feedstuff handling apparatus provided with means for receiving an inflow of vegetable feedstuff pieces and forming them into a mass configured to have a generally flat bottom and at least a pair of faces sloping upwardly from the bottom at respective angles no greater than the angle of repose of the feedstuff pieces. The apparatus holds at least a portion of the mass in this configuration during the operation of means which discharge the mass onto the ground, the sloping faces of the mass thereafter being left freestanding. Some modifications are provided with simple means for attaining a uniform and more cohesive mass and, where effective, for obtaining some compaction of the material forming the mass. A preferred mode of covering the mass or for sealing it off from the air is described, in connection with which are disclosed features of the apparatus operative for smoothing a ground area designated for reception of the feedstuff mass and for mechanically accomplishing part of the labor involved in the covering or sealing operation. According to certain aspects of a feedstuff handling method (of which the apparatus forms an example of means of implementation), feedstuff pieces are formed into a mass of the above-noted configuration and all upwardly inclined faces of the mass are supported until completion of discharge of the mass from one surface on which it is formed to another surface. After discharge, the mass faces extending at an angle to the mass bottom face no greater than the angle of repose of the feedstuff pieces of the mass are left unsupported; support is continued for any faces of the mass which extend upwardly at a greater angle. According to one version of the method, final shaping of the mass is accomplished concurrently with discharge of the mass.

A system for unloading inventory items includes an inventory holder, an unloading station, and a mobile drive unit. The inventory holder stores inventory items. The unloading station includes a barrier that is operable to prevent inventory items from moving past the barrier as the inventory holder moves past the barrier. The mobile drive unit is operable to move the inventory holder toward the unloading station and to move the inventory holder past the barrier.

A vehicle for a freight transportation system has a platform with end walls located at opposite ends. A pair of doors are pivotally connected to the end walls and are pivotal upwardly between closed and open positions. The doors are held in the closed position by a latch that includes a release member projecting laterally from the door. Upward movement of the release member releases the latch and allows the doors to be moved to the open position.
