AUTONOMOUS TRAVELING WORK APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18184884 titled 'AUTONOMOUS TRAVELING WORK APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The autonomous traveling work apparatus described in the patent application includes a work unit with a passive rotary cutter, a driving rotary cutter, and a fixed cutter. The passive rotary cutter rotates passively, while the driving rotary cutter is actively driven to rotate. The fixed cutter does not rotate and is positioned next to the passive rotary cutter. The driving rotary cutter cuts vegetation above the lower end of the passive rotary cutter.
- The apparatus includes a passive rotary cutter, a driving rotary cutter, and a fixed cutter.
- The passive rotary cutter rotates passively, while the driving rotary cutter is actively driven.
- The fixed cutter does not rotate and is located adjacent to the passive rotary cutter.
- The driving rotary cutter cuts vegetation above the lower end of the passive rotary cutter.
Potential Applications: 1. Agriculture: The apparatus can be used for cutting vegetation in agricultural fields. 2. Landscaping: It can be utilized for maintaining lawns and gardens. 3. Roadside maintenance: The apparatus can help in clearing vegetation along roadsides. 4. Forestry: It can assist in forestry management by cutting unwanted vegetation.
Problems Solved: 1. Efficient vegetation cutting without manual intervention. 2. Increased productivity in agricultural and landscaping tasks. 3. Improved maintenance of roadside areas. 4. Enhanced forestry management practices.
Benefits: 1. Time-saving and labor-efficient vegetation cutting. 2. Precision cutting for better maintenance of green spaces. 3. Reduced manual labor and associated costs. 4. Improved overall efficiency in various industries.
Commercial Applications: The autonomous traveling work apparatus can find commercial applications in agriculture, landscaping services, roadside maintenance companies, and forestry management organizations. Its efficiency in vegetation cutting can lead to cost savings and increased productivity for these businesses.
Questions about Autonomous Traveling Work Apparatus: 1. How does the passive rotary cutter differ from the driving rotary cutter in the apparatus? 2. What are the potential benefits of using this autonomous work apparatus in agriculture and forestry management?
Original Abstract Submitted
An autonomous traveling work apparatus includes a work unit including a passive rotary cutter that passively rotates, a driving rotary cutter that is driven to rotate, and a fixed cutter that does not rotate. The passive rotary cutter has a rotation axis passing through a rotation center thereof and oriented in a direction intersecting the front-rear direction of a vehicle body, and includes a plurality of blade parts on the outer peripheral portion of the passive rotary cutter. The fixed cutter is adjacent to the passive rotary cutter. The driving rotary cutter has a rotation axis passing through a rotation center thereof and oriented in the direction intersecting the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and rotates by means of a drive device. The driving rotary cutter cuts the vegetation above the lower end of the passive rotary cutter.
