    摘要: In an aspect, the present disclosure describes a system for constructing a solar module array. The system can comprise one or more mobile platforms; one or more carriers operatively coupled to the one or more mobile platforms, wherein the one or more carriers support a plurality of posts and/or a plurality of solar modules; one or more robotic components for retrieving one or more posts from the plurality of posts and one or more solar modules from the plurality of solar modules from the one or more carriers; and at least one controller in operative communication with the one or more mobile platforms and the one or more robotic components, wherein the at least one controller (i) directs the one or more mobile platforms to transport the one or more carriers over a terrain and (ii) controls the one or more robotic components to (1) autonomously position and install the one or more posts on the terrain, and (2) autonomously position and assemble the one or more solar module to the one or more posts installed on the terrain to thereby construct the solar module array on the terrain.

    摘要: A tension-loaded drive mechanism (“mechanism”) is provided for a cargo unloader. The drive mechanism includes a compressor for increasing the pressure of a fluid. The drive mechanism further includes multiple bladders fluidly connected to the compressor to receive the fluid from the compressor and expand in a rearward direction along a longitudinal axis of a cargo bed. The mechanism further includes a strap system having multiple straps attached to each bladder. The strap system further includes multiple spools configured to apply a compression counter force via the straps to the associated bladders, such that the compression counter force increases the pressure of the fluid in the associated bladders to a predetermined drive pressure threshold. The spools are further configured to dispense an associated one of the straps at a predetermined stepped payout rate such that the associated bladders apply a drive force associated with the predetermined drive pressure threshold.

    摘要: An apparatus is provided for moving and securing articles in a pickup truck cargo bed. The pickup truck cargo bed may have opposing sidewalls, cab wall, tailgate, and floor. The apparatus comprises a plurality of tracks configured to connect to the pickup truck cargo bed, the plurality of tracks extending substantially along a longitudinal length of the pickup truck cab and defining a channel. A push plate slidably is mounted to the plurality of tracks with a movement member, and the push plate configured to stand perpendicular to the floor. The apparatus also comprises an actuator in mechanical communication with the push plate, the actuator configured to move the push plate to a desired position in the pickup truck cargo bed. An adjustable enclosed area is defined by the push plate, opposing side walls, and tail gate.

    摘要: A vehicle for transporting cargo includes a front end unit having a front wheel, a rear end unit having a rear wheel, and a carrying unit on which the cargo is loaded and which is interposed between the front end unit and the rear end unit so that the front end unit and the rear end unit are coupled to each other via the carrying unit. The carrying unit is configured to be separated from the front end unit and the rear end unit in a direction intersecting a direction in which the vehicle travels and to be coupled to the front end unit and the rear end unit while the front end unit and the rear end unit are stationary.

    摘要: An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a delivery vehicle having a driver compartment and a cargo compartment. The cargo compartment is located adjacent the driver compartment. An at least one riser extends along at least a portion of the cargo compartment. The at least one riser includes a plurality of holes disposed therein. Each of the plurality of holes disposed in the at least one riser are spaced apart from each other a predetermined distance. A flooring assembly is located in the cargo compartment and supported by the at least one riser. The flooring assembly includes: at least a plurality of floor planks; each floor plank of the at least the plurality of floor planks has a longitudinal extent, a width transverse to the longitudinal extent, a longitudinally extending tongue located at a first end of the width, and a longitudinally extending groove located at a second end of the width opposite the first end of the width; wherein the each floor plank of the at least the plurality of floor planks is fastened to one of the plurality of holes disposed in the at least one riser.
