Loading System Security Sensor Monitoring Lifting-tilting Path
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing loading systems fail to detect and prevent people or objects from being carried along during the lifting-tilting movement of containers, leading to potential accidents and injuries, as they are only focused on detecting objects in the operating area and not the lifting-tilting path.
Innovation Solution
A security system with a sensor-equipped monitoring area that covers the lifting-tilting path of the loading system, connected to an alarm system that can intervene by blocking the movement of the loading seat or alerting the operator to prevent objects from entering the collector, using sensors like ultrasonic or camera systems mounted on the inward travel guide to detect objects being dragged along.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If sensors are provided on the loading system to detect objects in the operating area, then safety during emptying is improved, but the ability to detect objects being carried along during lifting-tilting movement is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor monitoring area is extended from the traditional operating area (rear side of loading system) to include the lifting-tilting path (three-dimensional space through which the container moves). This dimensional expansion allows detection of objects being carried along during the lifting-tilting movement, resolving the contradiction between safety improvement and detection capability.
2Difficulty of detecting and measuring
If the monitoring area is extended to cover the lifting-tilting path, then detection capability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor system is designed to perform multiple functions: detecting objects in the traditional operating area and simultaneously detecting objects in the lifting-tilting path. By making the sensor system multi-functional, the patent avoids adding separate detection systems, thereby improving detection capability while minimizing the increase in device complexity.
3Productivity
If objects are not detected in the lifting-tilting path, then the loading system operates smoothly, but hazardous situations occur where people or objects can be carried into the collector
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor system performs preliminary detection of objects in the lifting-tilting path before the container reaches the collector. This early detection allows the system to take preventive action (stopping the loading process) before hazardous situations occur, thereby maintaining productivity while eliminating harmful factors.

Function Achieved in This Case
Significantly enhances safety by preventing objects from being carried into the collector, reducing the risk of injury and damage, and allowing for timely intervention to remove individuals or objects from the container, even in adverse weather conditions.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a security system (12) for safeguarding a lifting-tilting path of a loading system (6) provided with a loading seat (8) for emptying a container into a collector (4), comprising a sensor (14, 16, 20, 22) with a monitoring area configured to detect objects in the monitoring area during movement of the loading seat during emptying of the container into the collector, and an alarm system (28) operatively connected to the sensor for directly or indirectly performing a blocking of the movement of the loading seat, wherein the monitoring area of the sensor at least partially comprises the lifting-tilting path of the container during the movement of the container in the loading seat.
