Forklift Transport Counting via Pallet Fork State Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional data processing methods for forklifts inaccurately count the number of transport operations due to reliance on hydraulic pressure measurements, which is complex and potentially hazardous when refitting the hydraulic pressure pipeline.
Innovation Solution
A data processing method that acquires the current state of a target component, such as a pallet fork, to determine if it is carrying a transportation object, and updates the transport count based on continuous detection and analysis of movement and history information, eliminating the need to refit the hydraulic pressure pipeline.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If hydraulic pressure measurement method is used to count transport operations, then transport count can be obtained, but the system complexity increases and safety hazards occur due to pipeline refitting
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the measurement function from the hydraulic pressure system and implements it through the existing forklift control system's state detection capabilities. By monitoring the state changes of the pallet fork component through the control system, the transport operation count is obtained without requiring any modifications to the hydraulic pressure pipeline, thus eliminating the complexity and safety hazards associated with pipeline refitting while maintaining measurement accuracy.
2Loss of information
If hydraulic pressure pipeline refitting is performed to measure transport operations, then transport count data can be collected, but safety hazards such as hydraulic leaks may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The patent utilizes the forklift control system's existing self-diagnostic and state monitoring capabilities to automatically detect and count transport operations. The control system monitors the state changes of the pallet fork component and automatically updates the transport operation count without requiring external intervention or physical modifications to the hydraulic system. This self-service approach eliminates safety hazards while ensuring complete transport data collection.
3Measurement precision
If conventional hydraulic pressure measurement is used, then transport operations can be monitored, but the ease of operation decreases due to complex installation and maintenance requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the forklift control system perform multiple functions: it not only controls the forklift's operation but also monitors the state of the pallet fork component and automatically counts transport operations. By integrating the measurement function into the existing control system, the patent eliminates the need for separate hydraulic pressure measurement equipment, simplifying both installation and maintenance while maintaining accurate transport operation monitoring.
Data Source
AI summary
A data processing method, device and system are provided, to count the transportation number of times for a forklift transporting goods. Specifically, current state information of a target component (for example, a pallet fork) of a to-be-detected apparatus (for example, a forklift) is acquired. If the current state information indicates that the target component carries a transportation object, the transportation number of times for which the to-be-detected apparatus transports the transportation object is updated when it is detected that the transportation object is moved away from the target component. If the current state information indicates that the target component carries no transportation object, history state information of the target component is analyzed, and the transportation number of times for which the to-be-detected apparatus transports the transportation object is updated based on an analysis result.
