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 that includes a container with a rotation shaft and a coupling body, and a drive module with a drive device, a coupling space, and a magnetic module. The drive module can move the container by fastening the magnetic module to the coupling body using magnetic force.

  • The container-swappable vehicle includes a container with a rotation shaft and a coupling body.
  • The drive module includes a drive device, a coupling space, and a magnetic module.
  • The rotation shaft and the coupling body are connected to each other and can be relatively rotated.
  • The drive module can move the container by driving the magnetic module towards the coupling body.
  • The magnetic module is fastened to the coupling body using magnetic force.

Potential Applications

  • Efficient transportation of cargo by easily swapping containers.
  • Streamlining logistics operations by quickly loading and unloading containers.
  • Facilitating intermodal transportation by seamlessly transferring containers between different modes of transport.

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the process of swapping containers, reducing time and effort.
  • Enables efficient and flexible cargo transportation by easily attaching and detaching containers.
  • Enhances logistics operations by improving the speed and ease of loading and unloading containers.

Benefits

  • Increased efficiency in cargo transportation and logistics operations.
  • Reduced downtime and improved productivity due to faster container swapping.
  • Enhanced flexibility in intermodal transportation by enabling easy container transfers.


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.
