MOBILITY DEVICE AND A CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240123890 titled 'MOBILITY DEVICE AND A CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a mobility device with a conveyor system controlled by rotating bodies to move freight based on user input.

  • The mobility device includes a conveyor device with rotating bodies forming a plane to carry freight.
  • A user interface allows input of movement commands for the freight.
  • A controller enables wireless communication with the user interface to control the rotating bodies and move the freight accordingly.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers for automated material handling and transportation of goods.

Problems Solved

1. Manual labor in moving heavy or bulky items is reduced. 2. Increased efficiency in transporting goods within a facility.

Benefits

1. Improved productivity and workflow in logistics operations. 2. Reduced risk of injury to workers from manual handling of heavy items.

Potential Commercial Applications

Automated material handling systems for e-commerce fulfillment centers.

Possible Prior Art

Similar conveyor systems with automated controls exist in industries such as manufacturing and logistics, but the specific configuration of rotating bodies for freight movement may be novel.

What are the safety features of this mobility device?

The abstract does not mention any specific safety features of the mobility device. However, safety considerations such as emergency stop buttons, sensors for detecting obstacles, and fail-safe mechanisms would be essential for the operation of such a device.

How does the controller ensure precise movement of the freight?

The abstract does not provide details on the specific control mechanisms used by the controller. However, it can be assumed that the controller utilizes sensors to monitor the position and speed of the rotating bodies, allowing for precise movement of the freight based on the user's input commands.


Original Abstract Submitted

a mobility device includes a conveyor device in which a plurality of rotating bodies whose rotational direction, torque, and angle are controlled is arranged to form a plane and a freight is loaded on the plurality of rotating bodies. the mobility device also includes a user interface provided to input a movement command for moving the freight. the mobility device additionally includes a controller connected to enable wireless communication with the user interface. the controller is configured to control the plurality of rotating bodies to move the freight loaded on the conveyor device based on the movement command.
