    摘要: A method of loading and/or unloading a loading space is provided having a loading vehicle that drives into the loading space at least once to place down and/or to collect at least one load object, wherein an access zone of the loading space is safeguarded by at least one first sensor and the loading vehicle is safeguarded by at least one second sensor, In this respect, on driving into the loading space, the loading vehicle first drives to a first position that is so close to the safeguarded access zone that no person fits between the loading vehicle and the safeguarded access zone and the safeguarding of the access zone is then adapted by the first sensor such that a drive-through corridor for the loading vehicle is created.

    摘要: A trailer system may have a first cargo area having a movable deck. The movable deck may be moved by an actuator. The movable deck may include a plurality of first rollers for engaging and translating cargo. And a movable tailgate may close the first cargo area when it is in a first position. The movable tailgate may have a plurality of second rollers for engaging and translating cargo when the movable tailgate is in a second position. The trailer system may have a plurality of movable decks, where each movable deck is coupled and moved by an actuator. Each actuator may comprise at least one of a hydraulic, pneumatic, and/or electromechanical system. The trailer system may further have a set of lower movable decks and a set of upper movable decks. The set of upper movable decks may be coupled to the lower movable decks by actuators.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a system for automatic loading or unloading and related methods, capable of achieving fully automated goods transportation. The system communicated with a first control device and a second control device provided on an autonomous vehicle. The system is configured to transmit a transportation instruction containing a designated destination to the second control device to control the autonomous vehicle to autonomously move to the designated destination; upon receiving a standby message, determine the first control device corresponding to the designated destination from a pre-stored correspondence between locations and first control devices; transmit an instruction to the determined first control device to control a device to load goods onto or unload goods from the autonomous vehicle; and upon receiving a completion message transmitted from the first control device, transmit a completion instruction to the second control device to control the autonomous vehicle to leave the designated destination.

    摘要: A system and method are provided for evenly distributing the loading of material in a loading container of a transport vehicle (e.g., articulated dump truck) by a work machine (e.g., excavator). At least one sensor mounted on the work machine generates data corresponding to at least a portion of the loading container. The captured data is processed to determine a current profile of material loaded in the loading container, wherein output signals are generated corresponding to a difference between the current profile and a predetermined target profile for the material loaded in the loading container. In certain embodiments, the output signals are used to assist an operator of the work machine with manual loading via an onboard display unit and superposed images associated with the current and/or target profiles. In other embodiments, the output signals automatically control at least part of the loading process.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a system for automatic loading/unloading and related devices, capable of achieving fully automated goods transportation within a particular area. The system includes: an autonomous driving control device (1) configured to control the autonomous vehicle to autonomously move to a loading/unloading destination upon receiving a transportation instruction containing the loading/unloading destination and transmit a standby message to a management system (2); and control the autonomous vehicle to leave the loading/unloading destination upon receiving a loading/unloading completion instruction; the management system (2) configured to transmit the transportation instruction to the autonomous driving control device (1) and transmit a loading/unloading instruction to a loading/unloading control device (3) upon receiving the standby message; and transmit the loading/unloading completion instruction to the autonomous driving control device (1) upon receiving a loading/unloading completion message transmitted from the loading/unloading control device (3), and the loading/unloading control device (3) configured to control a loading/unloading device to load goods onto or unload goods from the autonomous vehicle upon receiving the loading/unloading instruction, and transmit the loading/unloading completion message to the management system (2) when the loading/unloading is completed.

    摘要: A handling system includes a gravity feed rack, a pick-up rack, a front retaining element, and a rear retaining element. The gravity feed rack includes a retaining mechanism having an axially rotatably mounted shaft. The front retaining element is connected to the shaft. The front retaining element is moveable to a first retaining position to inhibit movement of a first load carrier. The rear retaining element is connected to the shaft and moveable to a second retaining position to inhibit movement of a second load carrier. When the gravity feed rack and the pick-up rack are brought together, at least one contact surface of a deflection element is configured to cooperate with the engagement element in order to rotate the shaft counter to a restoring force causing the front retaining element to move from the first retaining position and the rear retaining element to move to the second retaining position.

    摘要: A collapsible cargo slide assembly that protects a cargo area from damage during loading and unloading of cargo. The assembly includes a plurality of panels with each panel including a generally planar slider having a surface smoothed for sliding on the cargo area, a block of compressible material for contact with the cargo. The assembly further includes a connector that joins a panel and an adjacent panel. In embodiments, the connector is a layer of flexible material that substantially spans across at least the panel and the adjacent panel. In embodiments, each panel includes a protruding lip having one or more apertures configured to receive a securing device for fastening cargo to the panel.
