TRANSPORT SYSTEM, MOVER, CONTROL APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18456151 titled 'TRANSPORT SYSTEM, MOVER, CONTROL APPARATUS, AND CONTROL METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a transport system that uses electromagnetic force to move a mover in a specific direction while controlling its attitude. The system includes a mover with two groups of magnets arranged in different directions and a set of coils that can face the magnets. The mover can move along the coils in one direction and its attitude can be controlled by the electromagnetic force from the coils.

  • The transport system uses electromagnetic force to move a mover in a specific direction.
  • The mover has two groups of magnets arranged in different directions.
  • A set of coils is used to generate electromagnetic force that interacts with the magnets.
  • The mover can move along the coils in one direction.
  • The attitude of the mover can be controlled by the electromagnetic force from the coils.

Potential Applications

  • Automated transportation systems
  • Conveyor systems
  • Material handling systems
  • Robotic systems

Problems Solved

  • Efficient and controlled movement of objects in a specific direction
  • Precise control of the attitude of moving objects

Benefits

  • Increased efficiency in transportation and material handling processes
  • Improved control and stability of moving objects
  • Potential for automation and reduced human intervention


Original Abstract Submitted

A transport system includes: a mover having a first magnet group arranged in parallel to a first direction and a second magnet group arranged in parallel to a second direction crossing the first direction; and a plurality of coils arranged in parallel to the first direction so as to be able to face the first magnet group and the second magnet group, and the mover is able to move in the first direction along the plurality of coils by electromagnetic force received by the first magnetic group from the plurality of coils while an attitude of the mover is controlled by electromagnetic force received by the first magnetic group or the second magnetic group from the plurality of coils.
