METHOD FOR RECOVERING POSTURE OF WORK MACHINE, POSTURE RECOVERY SYSTEM, AND POSTURE RECOVERY APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18276780 titled 'METHOD FOR RECOVERING POSTURE OF WORK MACHINE, POSTURE RECOVERY SYSTEM, AND POSTURE RECOVERY APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a posture recovery apparatus for a work machine that automatically recovers the posture of the machine during operation.

  • The setting unit establishes a safe posture range based on the initial posture of the work machine.
  • The acquisition unit gathers posture information while the work machine is in operation.
  • If the posture deviates from the safe range for a set period, the recovery unit initiates a recovery operation.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in industries where maintaining proper posture of work machines is crucial for safety and efficiency, such as manufacturing, construction, and agriculture.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures the safety of operators by preventing potential accidents caused by incorrect posture of work machines. 2. Improves the productivity and accuracy of work machines by maintaining optimal posture during operation.

Benefits

1. Reduces the risk of injuries and accidents in the workplace. 2. Enhances the longevity and performance of work machines. 3. Increases overall efficiency and productivity of operations.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Posture Recovery Apparatus for Work Machines: Enhancing Safety and Efficiency in Industrial Operations"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be posture correction devices used in ergonomics to prevent musculoskeletal disorders in office settings. These devices are designed to promote proper posture and prevent strain on the body during prolonged periods of sitting.

Unanswered Questions

How does the apparatus differentiate between intentional posture adjustments and unintentional deviations?

The system may need to incorporate sensors or algorithms to distinguish between deliberate posture changes made by the operator and accidental deviations from the safe range.

What is the impact of the recovery operation on the overall performance and efficiency of the work machine?

It would be important to understand how the recovery operation affects the speed, accuracy, and energy consumption of the work machine during operation.


Original Abstract Submitted

A posture recovery apparatus capable of automatically recovering a posture of a work machine is realized. The setting unit () sets a safe posture range based on a posture of the work machine before operation. The acquisition unit () acquires posture information on the work machine in operation. In a case where, by reference to the posture information, it has been detected that the posture of the work machine in operation has deviated from the safe posture range for a first period, the recovery unit () causes the work machine to carry out a recovery operation.
