==Robotic Panel Module Removal and Replacement in Ore Treatment Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240033901 titled 'Robotic Panel Module Removal and Replacement in Ore Treatment Apparatus

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a robotic apparatus designed to extract a worn treatment panel module from a treatment deck of ore material treatment apparatus without the need for human intervention. The apparatus consists of a robotic support structure that is mounted on transport means, allowing it to move along the treatment deck. It also includes a treatment panel module handling mechanism connected to the robotic support structure, which can move along a defined path of movement using first drive means. The treatment panel module handling mechanism is equipped with tool means that can engage with a treatment panel module to lift it out of the treatment deck.

* The robotic apparatus is designed to extract worn treatment panel modules from ore material treatment apparatus without the need for human personnel to enter the treatment apparatus.
* The apparatus includes a robotic support structure that can move along the treatment deck, following a defined course.
* A treatment panel module handling mechanism is connected to the robotic support structure and can move along a defined path of movement.
* The treatment panel module handling mechanism is equipped with tool means that can engage with a treatment panel module to lift it out of the treatment deck.
* The apparatus includes first drive means to selectively move the treatment panel module handling mechanism along the defined path of movement.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Mining industry: The robotic apparatus can be used in ore material treatment apparatus, such as mineral processing plants, to extract worn treatment panel modules without the need for human personnel to enter hazardous areas.
* Industrial automation: The robotic apparatus can be implemented in various industrial processes that involve the extraction of worn or damaged modules from treatment decks, improving efficiency and reducing the risk of accidents.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Eliminates the need for human personnel to enter treatment apparatus, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.
* Increases efficiency by automating the extraction process, reducing downtime and improving overall productivity.
* Provides a safer and more controlled method for handling and removing worn treatment panel modules from treatment decks.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved safety: By eliminating the need for human personnel to enter treatment apparatus, the risk of accidents and injuries is significantly reduced.
* Increased efficiency: The automated extraction process allows for quicker and more precise removal of worn treatment panel modules, reducing downtime and improving overall productivity.
* Cost savings: The robotic apparatus can reduce labor costs by eliminating the need for human personnel to perform manual extraction tasks.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

the specification discloses robotic apparatus for extraction of a worn treatment panel module from a treatment deck of ore material treatment apparatus without the need for work personnel entering the treatment apparatus, the robotic apparatus including a robotic support structure carried on transport means whereby the robotic support structure follows a course on the treatment deck, the robotic apparatus further including a treatment panel module handling mechanism connected to the robotic support structure for movement along a defined path of movement and first drive means for selectably moving the treatment panel module handling mechanism along the defined path of movement, the treatment panel module handling mechanism still further including tool means adapted to mount tool means cooperable at least with a treatment panel module intended to be removed from a selected treatment deck, the tool means being able to engage a panel module to lift it out of the treatment deck.
