Cold planer milling machine truck position sensor system

PendingUS20260185310A1Driver/operatorActuator
A system for sensing position of a work machine or loading truck includes an actuator arm that hangs down from a secondary conveyor of a milling assembly. The actuator arm reacts to contact with a tailgate or rear of a truck through movement and angle measurements, which are detected using linear transducers, inclinometers, rotary position sensors, or proximity switches. Based on predetermined angle measurements, the system triggers display lights visible to a truck driver to indicate when to stop or move forward for even load distribution. The system can be integrated with software for enhanced control options and requires only power and ground connections for installation on a work machine.

COLD MILLING MACHINE TRUCK POSITION SENSOR SYSTEM

UndeterminedDE102025153662A1Driver/operatorActuator
A system (108) for detecting the position of a work machine or loading vehicle comprises an actuator arm (116) suspended from a secondary conveyor (112) of a milling assembly. The actuator arm (116) responds to contact with the tailgate or rear of a truck (104) by measuring motion and angles, which are detected using linear transducers, inclinometers (224), rotary position sensors (212), or proximity switches. Based on predetermined angle measurements, the system (108) triggers indicator lights visible to the truck driver to indicate when to stop or continue driving for even load distribution. The system (108) can be integrated with software for advanced control options and requires only power and ground connections for installation on a work machine.

Cold planer truck position sensor system

PendingCN122304255Asimplify communicationPrecise position adjustmentDriver/operatorControl engineering
A system for sensing the position of a work machine or loading truck includes an actuator arm suspended downwards from a secondary conveyor of a milling assembly. The actuator arm responds to contact with the truck's tailgate or rear via motion and angle measurements detected using a linear transducer, inclinometer, rotary position sensor, or proximity switch. Based on a predetermined angle measurement, the system triggers an indicator light visible to the truck driver to indicate when to stop or move forward to achieve uniform load distribution. The system can be integrated with software for enhanced control options and requires only a power supply and grounding connection for mounting on the work machine.

Interactive Model for Learning Parallel Platforms with Touch and Remote Control

UndeterminedTN2024000308A1RoboticsAccelerometer
The present invention relates to StewartEdu, an interactive educational model designed for learning the principles and applications of parallel platforms, particularly the Stewart platform. The model consists of six servomotors enabling control of movements in six degrees of freedom (three translations and three rotations). It is equipped with a touchscreen that allows users, primarily students, to control the platform in real time. An ESP32 control board manages the signals sent to the servomotors. The invention also incorporates infrared sensors or accelerometers, enabling the detection of the platform's position and movements, and implementing PID control to ensure its stability. Furthermore, the prototype includes 12 control buttons, providing direct manual control of the servomotors and thus improving interaction with the system. An Android app enables remote control via a Wi-Fi connection, offering flexibility for distance learning. This dual control option (local via the touchscreen and remote via the app) makes StewartEdu particularly well-suited to educational and training environments. Its simple interface and use of standard components make the prototype affordable and easily reproducible. The invention aims to provide an interactive tool for a practical exploration of the concepts of kinematics and dynamics of parallel platforms, while facilitating teaching and learning in the fields of mechanical engineering and robotics.

Mapping touch and gesture controls to increase control options

Systems and techniques for controlling devices are disclosed. For example, a computing device can detect a first gesture among multiple first gestures of a user based on sensor data from one or more sensors. The computing device can determine a first settings list among multiple settings lists based on the first gesture. The first settings list includes multiple control options. The computing device can detect a control gesture among multiple control gestures of the user. Each control gesture is associated with a different control option among multiple control options. The computing device can determine a first control option among the multiple control options in the first settings list based on the control gesture. The computing device can enable the first control option to control the device.
