FEEDING DEVICE, TRANSPORTING DEVICE, AND PROCESSING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18188467 titled 'FEEDING DEVICE, TRANSPORTING DEVICE, AND PROCESSING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The feeding device described in the patent application includes a loading portion and a feeding unit. The loading portion is positioned downstream of a transporting path and loads a transporting target onto an inclined loading surface. The feeding unit then feeds the transporting target upward along the loading surface.
- Loading portion positioned downstream of transporting path
- Loading portion loads transporting target onto inclined surface
- Feeding unit feeds transporting target upward along loading surface
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in automated feeding systems for manufacturing processes, packaging lines, and material handling systems.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient feeding of transporting targets along an inclined surface. 2. Precise control over the feeding process to prevent jams or misalignment.
Benefits
1. Increased automation and efficiency in material handling processes. 2. Reduced risk of damage to transporting targets during feeding. 3. Improved control and accuracy in feeding operations.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Feeding Systems for Manufacturing Processes
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to feeding devices in manufacturing and material handling systems, but specific examples are not provided in this context.
Unanswered Questions
How does the feeding unit ensure proper alignment of the transporting target during the feeding process?
The patent abstract does not detail the specific mechanisms or technologies used to maintain alignment during feeding.
What materials are typically used for the loading surface to ensure smooth feeding of the transporting target?
The abstract does not specify the materials or coatings used on the loading surface for optimal performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A feeding device includes: a loading portion that is disposed on a downstream side of a transporting path in a transporting direction and that loads a transporting target, which is transported through the transporting path, on a loading surface inclined with respect to a horizontal direction; and a feeding unit that feeds the transporting target, which is in contact with the loading surface, obliquely upward along the loading surface.
