WORKING MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18119573 titled 'WORKING MACHINE
The abstract of the patent application describes a working machine that includes a support member, hydraulic cylinders, pressure detectors, and a controller to evaluate the contact state of a work attachment with an object.
- Support member connectable to a work attachment for doing work by making contact with an object
- Hydraulic cylinders to move the work attachment
- Rod-side pressure detector to detect rod-side hydraulic pressure
- Bottom-side pressure detector to detect bottom-side hydraulic pressure
- Controller to calculate the pressure relationship and evaluate the contact state
Potential Applications: - Industrial machinery - Construction equipment - Agricultural machinery
Problems Solved: - Monitoring contact state of work attachment - Ensuring proper pressure distribution in hydraulic system
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in work processes - Enhanced safety measures - Real-time monitoring of equipment performance
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Contact State Evaluation System for Working Machines" This technology can be utilized in various industries such as construction, agriculture, and manufacturing to enhance the performance and safety of working machines.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the pressure detection system work in this working machine? The pressure detectors in the hydraulic system monitor the rod-side and bottom-side hydraulic pressures to evaluate the contact state of the work attachment with an object.
2. What are the key benefits of using this contact state evaluation system in working machines? The system provides real-time feedback on the contact state of the work attachment, leading to improved efficiency, safety, and performance of the equipment.
Original Abstract Submitted
A working machine includes: at least one support member connectable to a work attachment to do work by making contact with an object to be contacted; at least one hydraulic cylinder to move the work attachment connected to the at least one support member, a rod-side pressure detector to detect a rod-side hydraulic pressure of hydraulic fluid in communication with a rod-side fluid chamber of the at least one hydraulic cylinder; a bottom-side pressure detector to detect a bottom-side hydraulic pressure of hydraulic fluid in communication with a bottom-side fluid chamber of the at least one hydraulic cylinder; and a controller to calculate a relationship in pressure between the rod-side hydraulic pressure and the bottom-side hydraulic pressure and evaluate, based on the calculated relationship in pressure, a contact state which is a state of contact of the work attachment with the object.
