VEHICLE CAPABLE OF CONTAINER SWAPPING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18144384 titled 'VEHICLE CAPABLE OF CONTAINER SWAPPING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a vehicle designed for container-swapping, with a main frame, drive modules, a connecting portion, a container module, and a coupling portion.

  • The main frame of the vehicle includes a pair of drive modules spaced in a forward/backward direction, connected by a connecting portion to form a coupling space.
  • A container module can be selectively inserted into the coupling space of the main frame.
  • A coupling portion is configured to connect the main frame and the container while the container module is inserted, allowing the main frame to move and insert the container module.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in logistics and transportation industries for efficient container swapping and loading processes.

Problems Solved

This innovation solves the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive container loading and unloading processes.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased efficiency, reduced labor costs, and improved overall productivity in container handling operations.

Potential Commercial Applications

  • Optimizing container loading and unloading processes in shipping ports
  • Streamlining logistics operations in warehouses and distribution centers

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to automated container loading systems or container handling equipment in the transportation industry.

Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle configured for container-swapping, includes: a main frame including a pair of drive modules spaced in a forward/backward direction of the vehicle, and a connecting portion extending in the forward/backward direction of the vehicle to connect the pair of drive modules so that a coupling space is formed therebetween; a container module selectively inserted into the coupling space of the main frame; and a coupling portion configured to couple the main frame and the container to each other while the container module is inserted into the coupling space of the main frame, wherein a driving portion operates and moves the main frame so that the container module is inserted into the coupling space of the main frame.
