Oshkosh Corporation patent applications published on October 5th, 2023

Summary of the patent applications from Oshkosh Corporation on October 5th, 2023

Oshkosh Corporation has filed several recent patents related to vehicle systems and technologies. These patents cover a range of innovations, including wearable alert devices for vehicle users, joystick control systems for refuse vehicles, vehicle chassis and body designs, electric motor and hydraulic systems for refuse vehicles, and refuse vehicle lift assemblies.

The wearable alert device patent describes a system that includes visual, aural, and haptic alert devices worn by a user in a vehicle. The processing circuitry collects data from vehicle sensors to determine the user's position and identify alert conditions and their severity. The system provides feedback to inform the user about the alert condition and its severity.

The joystick control system patent focuses on refuse vehicles and includes multiple joystick input devices and a single controller. The controller receives user input from the joysticks and generates control signals for various parts of the refuse vehicle based on the input.

The vehicle chassis and body patent describes a vehicle with a front surface recess and a port within the recess. The vehicle also has a door that can be opened or closed to block or allow access to the port.

The patents related to electric motor and hydraulic systems for refuse vehicles focus on using processing circuits to control the flow of hydraulic fluid based on the load on the hydraulic actuator. The circuits determine whether to provide regenerative or non-regenerative flow to the actuator based on the load.

The patents related to refuse vehicle lift assemblies describe systems that use positioning members, interface members, actuators, and position sensors to handle and empty refuse containers. The systems also include return assist features to reposition the interface member and return the refuse container to its original position.

Notable applications:

• Wearable alert device for vehicle users with visual, aural, and haptic feedback.
• Joystick control system for refuse vehicles with multiple input devices and a single controller.
• Vehicle chassis and body design with a recessed front surface and a door for port access.
• Electric motor and hydraulic system for refuse vehicles with processing circuits to control hydraulic flow based on load.
• Refuse vehicle lift assembly with positioning and interface members, actuators, and position sensors.
