CONTAINER-SWAPPABLE VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17981315 titled 'CONTAINER-SWAPPABLE VEHICLE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a container-swappable vehicle. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The container-swappable vehicle includes a container with a container body for holding cargo.
  • The container has a rotation shaft at either the front or rear end, and a coupling body that surrounds the rotation shaft.
  • The rotation shaft and coupling body are connected and can rotate relative to each other.
  • The vehicle also has a drive module with a drive device for propulsion.
  • The drive module has a coupling space with an open side and a magnetic module inside.
  • The magnetic module allows the coupling body of the container to enter the coupling space through an opening.
  • The container can be moved by the magnetic module, which is fastened to the coupling body using magnetic force.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Efficient transportation of cargo by easily swapping containers on the vehicle.
  • Streamlining logistics operations by quickly transferring containers between different vehicles.
  • Facilitating intermodal transportation by enabling containers to be easily transferred between trucks, trains, and ships.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Reduces the time and effort required to load and unload cargo by using a magnetic coupling system.
  • Eliminates the need for manual labor or specialized equipment to attach and detach containers.
  • Increases flexibility in cargo transportation by allowing containers to be easily swapped between vehicles.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency and productivity in logistics operations.
  • Reduced costs associated with container handling and transportation.
  • Enhanced flexibility and adaptability in cargo transportation.
  • Simplified and streamlined container swapping process.


Original Abstract Submitted

A container-swappable vehicle includes a container including a container body for receiving a cargo loaded therein, a rotation shaft at a front end portion or a rear end portion thereof, and a coupling body surrounding an external circumferential surface of the rotation shaft, the rotation shaft and the coupling body being connected to each other to be relatively rotated therebetween; and a drive module including a drive device to perform driving, a coupling space including an open side, and a magnetic module provided in the coupling space to allow the coupling body of the container to enter the coupling space through an opening portion by driving toward the coupling body of the container and move the container through driving by the magnetic module being fastened to the coupling body by magnetic force.
