    摘要: A system with a base may be mounted on a vehicle, and a carriage assembly that may be movably connected to the base and may move with respect to the base. The carriage assembly may include a motor including a motor output shaft and motor housing, and a driving mechanism may couple to a door and to the motor output shaft or the motor housing. The carriage assembly may also include a coordination bar may be coupled to the motor output shaft or the motor housing, the motor output shaft or the motor housing may rotate the coordination bar responsive to operation of the motor. At least one linkage assembly may extend or retract to move the carriage assembly to move the door between an open position and a closed position based on rotation of the coordination bar.

    摘要: A lifting apparatus (100) includes a connector assembly (110) with a first connecting member (120), a second connecting member (130) and a connecting link (140), the first and second connecting members (120, 130) configured to be pivot-mounted at first ends (122, 132) to a first stationary component (200), and a pneumatic supporting member (150) is coupled to the first and second connecting members (120, 130) via the connecting link (140). The connector assembly (110) and the pneumatic supporting member (150) are configured to perform a lifting motion, wherein, when performing the lifting motion, the first and second connecting members (120, 130) transition from a first position (P1) to a second position (P2) and the pneumatic supporting member (150) transitions from an extended position (EP) to a compressed position (CP).

    摘要: A control system includes a sensor system that may detect entry of a person into a detection curtain in front of a door, and a controller that may receive a first signal from the sensor system indicating the entry of the person into the detection curtain. The controller may determine a state of the door and generate a second signal responsive to receiving the first signal and while the state of the door indicates that the door can be opened. The control system also may include one or more actuators that may be coupled with the door and to open the door without the person touching the door responsive to receiving the second signal from the controller.

    摘要: According to some embodiments, a railcar with a pair of sidewall assemblies and a hopper comprises a plurality of transverse discharge openings. The railcar comprises a sliding gate assembly coupled to the hopper to control the discharge flow of lading. The sliding gate assembly comprises a support frame coupled to the hopper proximate the transverse discharge openings. The support frame extends longitudinally along the sidewall assemblies. The sliding gate assembly further comprises a plurality of discharge gates slidably coupled to the support frame; and a gate actuator operable to slide the plurality of discharge gates between a closed position, where each discharge gate is disposed adjacent to each of the discharge openings to restrict the discharge flow of lading, and an open position, where each discharge gate is disposed between discharge openings to permit the discharge flow of lading.
