Abstract:
There is provided an automatically guided vehicle (AGV), which is configured to detect if a payload mass differs significantly from a preset payload mass towed and/or carried by the vehicle, and if a payload mass different from the preset payload is detected, the control system of the vehicle is automatically updated to adjust either: i) the speed of the vehicle based on preset safety brake distance information associated with the detected different payload mass; or ii) increase the safety zone or switch to a safer safety zone in order to avoid collision with any obstacles.
Abstract:
A brake controller has a control dial with a series of full color LEDs arranged around the dial. The dial with its LEDs is in a module mounted on the dash of the towing vehicle and connected by a cable to a main module mounted out of sight. The dial is a rotary encoder pushbutton mounted on the same circuit board as the LED chips. Status information is output using the LEDs primarily based on color. Substantially all setting input is provided solely by user manipulation of the dial, pushing the dial in to change setting input mode, with the value of the input reflected in the number of LEDs being lit in a color corresponding to the brake controller setting being changed, as the user rotates the dial either clockwise or counterclockwise to change setting values.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a braking system for a vehicle. The braking system comprises at least one first brake cable passing through a first pulley with one end of the at least one first brake cable removably connected to a brake lever and other end of the at least one first brake cable removably connected to a first support bracket, wherein, tension force on the at least one first brake cable exerts tension force on the first pulley. A secondary unit removably connected to the first pulley, dispenses tension force intervening on the first pulley to a pair of second brake cables wherein, one end of the second brake cables are removably connected to the secondary unit and the other end of the second brake cables are removably connected to brakes of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A park brake control assembly (10) for a rail vehicle having a brake pipe (20), a distributor (30), an air supply reservoir (40), one or more brake cylinders (50) and one or more pneumatically operated park brakes (60), the distributor (30) and the park brake control assembly (10) each having an output port (35, 15), wherein the park brake control assembly (10) includes a plurality of valves (11, 12) responsive to one or more of the following: (a) brake pipe air pressure; (b) air pressure in the output port (35) of the distributor (30); (c) air pressure in the output port (15) of the assembly (10).
Abstract:
In control over a vehicle, inter-vehicle communication information of a preceding vehicle that runs ahead of the vehicle is acquired, follow-up running control for causing the vehicle to follow the preceding vehicle is executed on the basis of the inter-vehicle communication information, and, during the follow-up running control, a parameter used in the follow-up running control is determined on the basis of a condition in which the inter-vehicle communication information is acquired.
Abstract:
Accelerator pedal, foot rest and brake pedal are inter-connected one after another. So brake pedal could be pressed down within 0.2 second Vehicle speed could be reduced in 22 feet Vehicle is stopped before 34 feet approximately compare with other vehicles (if the vehicle speed is 120KMPH). Foot rest and seesaw type device do not allow the Accelerator pedal and Brake pedal are pressed down at same time. Gear down and brake method reduces vehicle gear speed from top gear or any gear to second gear Vehicle is braked at 2nd gear within 0.4 second Hydraulic brake vehicle (Ambassador) is stopped approximately 50 feet by this method (vehicle speed is 60KMPH). One way entry enters things only one side. Semi-circled iron scales in Stop Well System lift the front body of the vehicle from floor. Vehicle runs only 3 feet after brake (vehicle speed is 30KMPH) Shock absorbers work against vehicle running force. We can save many people daily all over the world from road accidents by my invention
Abstract:
Le système de gestion du freinage est équipé d'un frein de parking assisté avec un ou plusieurs actionneurs de frein capables d'agir sur au moins une roue du véhicule. Un système comprend un module (1) de détection d'immobilisation du véhicule, un module (2) de détection d'arrêt du moteur sur requête du conducteur, un module (3) de détermination de conditions d' autorisation de changement de plaquettes de frein recevant des signaux en provenance des modules précédents et capable d' émettre un signal d'autorisation de changement des plaquettes pendant une durée de temporisation. Un module (4) de commande de desserrage des actionneurs de frein reçoit le signal d' autorisation et est capable d' émettre un ordre de desserrage des étriers de frein en réponse à une commande manuelle de desserrage du conducteur et à une position déterminée de la pédale d'accélérateur du véhicule.
Abstract:
Ein elektronisches System zum Betreiben einer elektromechanischen Parkbremse für ein Landfahrzeug umfasst wenigstens eine Eingabeeinheit zum Erfassen eines Fahrerparkbremswunsches und wenigstens zwei mit der Eingabeeinheit in Verbindung stehende Steuereinheiten zum Auswerten des an diese weitergeleiteten Fahrerparkbremswunsches. Die Steuereinheiten stehen mit wenigstens einem Aktuator zum Betätigen der Parkbremse in Verbindung, um diesen anzusteuern. Zudem ist eine Energieversorgung umfasst, zum Speisen der Eingabeeinheit, und der Steuereinheiten des wenigstens einen Aktuators. Sind bei Auftreten eines Einzelfehlers aus einer Menge von im System möglichen Fehlerzuständen mindestens eine Steuereinheit und mindestens ein Aktuator mit Energie und/oder Steuersignalen versorgt, so steuert die mindestens eine versorgte Steuereinheit den mindestens einen versorgten Aktuator so an, dass das Landfahrzeug in einer Parkposition festgesetzt wird, wenn ein entsprechender Fahrerparkbremswunsch vorliegt.
Abstract:
A pawl actuator for use with a toothed wheel, including: a pawl member having a mounting section; and a tooth engagement section, the pawl member being mountable to a support structure at the mounting section and the tooth engagement section being movable between a tooth engaged position and a tooth disengaged position, the pawl actuator including a biasing arrangement to bias the tooth engagement section in a first direction toward the tooth engaged position when the tooth engagement section is in a first section of travel between the tooth engaged position and the tooth disengaged position and in a second direction toward the tooth disengaged position when the tooth engaged section is in a second section of travel between the tooth engaged position and the tooth disengaged position, the pawl actuator being further arranged to alter the direction in which the tooth engagement section is biased at a region intermediate the first and second sections of travel, the pawl actuator including an actuating arrangement arranged to act on the pawl member for displacing the tooth engagement section against the bias of the biasing arrangement from the tooth disengaged position through the second section of travel to the intermediate region, to a change of bias position within the intermediate region at which the direction of bias changes so that the biasing arrangement thereafter biases the tooth engagement section towards the tooth engaged position.
Abstract:
A device to both reduce the effort involved to actuate a vehicles clutch and also improve the control an operator has over said clutch, that can be easily tailored to suit different clutch characteristics and or operators requirements. The device features a lever actuated by the operator that simultaneously rotates two profiled cam surfaces around a single pivot, one of which actuates the clutch via a cam follower bearing, a pivoted actuating arm and a hydraulic master cylinder while the other varies the tension or compression of a spring also via a cam follower bearing and a pivoted actuation arm. The cam profile that is used to operate the clutch master cylinder can vary the mechanical advantage to the clutch master cylinder throughout the operators levers travel whith the profiled caw that varies the energy stored in the spring can be used to vary the assistance this system offers the operator whilst actuating the clutch. The cams are designed so as to be easily replaced with ones of a different profile thus making the unit easily adaptable to different models and or operational requirements.
