Benefits of technology

[0003]One embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a vehicle. The vehicle includes a rolling chassis structure and a working component coupled to the rolling chassis structure. The rolling chassis structure includes a chassis, a non-working component, and a control interface. The non-working component is coupled to the chassis and is configured to facilitate transit operations for the rolling chassis structure. The control interface is disposed in a cab area of the chassis. The control interface is communicably coupled to the non-working component and is configured to control operation of the non-working component. The working component is configured to move relative to the chassis and is communicably coupled to the control interface. The control interface is configured to control movement of the working component.

Problems solved by technology

This produces duplicative, and in some instances inelegant, controls interfaces.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]Before turning to the figures, which illustrate the exemplary embodiments in detail, it should be understood that the present application is not limited to the details or methodology set forth in the description or illustrated in the figures. It should also be understood that the terminology is for the purpose of description only and should not be regarded as limiting.

[0017]A vehicle may include both working and non-working components. As referred to herein, the term “non-working components” generally refers to components that are included in the vehicle as part of a rolling chassis structure (e.g., configuration) sold by an original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The non-working components may be configured to facilitate transit operations (e.g., vehicle movement, steering, operator entertainment, etc.). For example, the non-working components may include electrical components in a cab area of the vehicle such as dashboard displays, radios, etc. The non-working components may ...

Abstract

A vehicle includes a rolling chassis structure and a working component coupled to the rolling chassis structure. The rolling chassis structure includes a chassis, a non-working component, and a control interface. The non-working component is coupled to the chassis and is configured to facilitate transit operations for the rolling chassis structure. The control interface is disposed in a cab area of the chassis. The control interface is communicably coupled to the non-working component and is configured to control operation of the non-working component. The working component is configured to move relative to the chassis and is communicably coupled to the control interface. The control interface is configured to control movement of the working component.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 805,797, filed on Feb. 14, 2019, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]Refuse trucks (e.g., garbage trucks) and concrete mixers are sometimes manufactured by adding components to rolling chassis configurations sold by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). For example, a refuse truck may be manufactured by adding a refuse cab, a refuse body (e.g. refuse collection body), and other refuse-specific components to an OEM vehicle chassis. A concrete mixer may be manufactured by adding a mixer cab, a mixer body (e.g., a mixing drum), and other mixer-specific components to an OEM vehicle chassis. The rolling chassis configuration may include an engine, drivetrain, and associated user controls, inputs, etc. that are required to facilitate movement of the vehicle between different locations. The rolling chassis conf...
