CONTROL METHOD, CONTROL DEVICE, AND CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18315038 titled 'CONTROL METHOD, CONTROL DEVICE, AND CONTROL SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a control system for a forklift that is designed to unload a transport pallet onto a designated area. The system includes a control device that can control the movement of the forklift and the horizontal movement of the fork.

  • The forklift is equipped with a load sensor that can detect the weight of an item placed on the fork.
  • It also has a lift height sensor that can detect the height at which the fork is lifted.
  • The control device is able to control the raising and lowering of the fork based on the information from these sensors.
  • The system is designed to acquire information about the load of the transport pallet and the range of lift heights in which the fork can be successfully inserted during unloading.
  • The lift height range information helps the system determine whether the unloading process is going smoothly or if there is an abnormality present.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control system configured to control a forklift to unload a transport pallet onto an unloading place includes a control device configured to control at least one of movement of the forklift and horizontal movement of a fork, the forklift including a load sensor configured to detect load of an item placed on the fork, and a lift height sensor configured to detect a lift height of the fork, control raising and lowering of the fork, acquire load information of the transport pallet placed on the fork and lift height range information, the lift height range information indicating a lift height range, the lift height range being a range of height in which the fork is able to be inserted when unloading onto the unloading place is successful, and determine whether an abnormality is present.
