INTERLAYER TRANSFER APPARATUS AND ARTICLE TRANSFER SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17854681 titled 'INTERLAYER TRANSFER APPARATUS AND ARTICLE TRANSFER SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an article transfer system that includes multiple stage modules, an interlayer transfer apparatus, and loading and unloading apparatus. The interlayer transfer apparatus consists of a mast frame and carriage units that move along the mast frame to transfer articles.

• The article transfer system includes multiple stage modules at different layers.
• An interlayer transfer apparatus is used to transfer articles to each stage module.
• Loading and unloading apparatus are provided on each stage module to load articles onto them.
• The interlayer transfer apparatus consists of a mast frame that intersects each stage module.
• Carriage units move along the mast frame, transferring articles and moving in parallel with each other.

Potential Applications

• Industrial manufacturing processes that require the transfer of articles between different stages or layers.
• Warehousing and logistics systems that need efficient and automated article transfer.

Problems Solved

• Simplifies the process of transferring articles between different layers or stages.
• Increases efficiency and reduces manual labor in article transfer operations.
• Provides a reliable and automated system for loading and unloading articles onto stage modules.

Benefits

• Streamlines article transfer operations, saving time and resources.
• Reduces the risk of errors and damage during article transfer.
• Increases overall productivity and throughput in manufacturing and logistics processes.

Original Abstract Submitted

An article transfer system includes a plurality of stage modules respectively provided at a plurality of layers, an interlayer transfer apparatus configured to transfer an article to each of the plurality of stage modules, and a plurality of loading and unloading apparatus respectively provided on each stage module of the plurality of stage modules, the plurality of loading and unloading apparatus configured to load an article onto respective stage modules of the plurality of stage modules. The interlayer transfer apparatus includes a mast frame extending so as to intersect each stage module of the plurality of stage modules, and a plurality of carriage units configured to move along a length direction of the mast frame, transfer articles, and move in a parallel manner with each other.
