Electromagnetic pallet and method for adjusting pallet position

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims the benefit of Indian Patent Application No. 201711007400 for an Electromagnetic Pallet and Method for Adjusting Pallet Position filed Mar. 2, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to handling freight movements within a truck by using electromagnetic pallets for less-than-truckload, and more particularly to an electromagnetic pallet and method for adjusting pallet position.

BACKGROUND

Generally speaking, inefficient shipping truck space organization is a common issue affecting transportation of freight that does not occupy a complete truck (also known as less-than-truckload, or LTL), which affects both customers and LTL service providers. Inefficient space use can lead to lower revenue due to the wasted truck capacity or potential freight damage. For seamless operation it is crucial to have the freights on the truck ordered based on priority, availability, affinity, and other shipping criteria, which may require repeated substantial rearrangement of the freight. This need is often addressed by using a pallet truck and a forklift carried on the truck, which leads to additional space reduction. Moreover, operating such machinery can be time and effort consuming due to significant unloading and reloading of the freight needed to provide space to operate the forklift.

Some attempts have been made to address this issue. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 9,148,077 by Henderson, a magnetic lifting device is described. The device may generate magnetic lift using a moving magnetic field to generate an eddy current effect in conductive substrate beneath the device. In U.S. Pat. No. 6,966,083 by Cheng, a magnetic levitation bed is disclosed. The invention includes a bed frame having permanent magnet arrays, cam-fitting mechanisms, and a base with a power control box. In U.S. Pat. No. 8,281,888 by Bergmann, a storage system is described. It uses an electromagnetic surface-area motor to move conveying devices mounted on wheels or rolls. A U.S. Pat. No. 2,695,165 by Hansen describes a concept of electromagnetic accelerometer, but does not talk about electromagnetic cells capable of utilizing such accelerometer and a processor to control orientation and magnetic strength of electromagnets. Overall, all of these inventions rely on magnetism to in one way or the other, but neither of them offers an option of using electromagnetic cells with accelerometer and processor to control movement of objects with a remote control device. Furthermore, none of these references discuss controlling individual electromagnetic elements to move the objects by changing polarity and magnetic field strength.

Therefore, a need exists for a compact system capable of easy and precise freight movement. In addition to improved space use efficiency, loading and unloading time should be reduced compared to the standard techniques. Last but not least, improved freight safety, and hence reduced product damage, should be also provided by such system.

SUMMARY

Accordingly, in one aspect, the present invention embraces an electromagnetic pallet configured to move around a truck.

In an exemplary embodiment, an electromagnetic pallet assembly includes electromagnetic cells having embedded accelerometers and processors, and coupled to a pallet base. An electromagnetic pallet frame is supported above the pallet base by pillars. The pillars can be telescopic, and their height may be adjusted and secured in a preferred position. The pallet can also include an electromagnetic sheet supported by the frame. A pallet central processing system is configured to control the electromagnetic cells, the pallet frame, and/or the electromagnetic sheet. A signal adapter assembly is configured to transmit signal between the central processing system and a remote control device, such as a cell phone. The signal can be transmitted wirelessly, e.g. via Bluetooth.

In another aspect, the present invention embraces a method for adjusting pallet position on a truck. The method includes selecting electromagnetic pallets, and activating a truck bed electromagnetic assembly and/or electromagnetic cells of the selected pallets. Polarity and/or strength of the electromagnetic assembly and/or the electromagnetic cells of the selected pallets can be adjusted, and the selected pallets can be moved. The pallets can be moved in horizontal and/or vertical directions, and can be stacked over each other. The electromagnetic assembly can include electromagnetic blocks, which may also be independent.

The foregoing illustrative summary, as well as other exemplary objectives and/or advantages of the invention, and the manner in which the same are accomplished, are further explained within the following detailed description and its accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention embraces an electromagnetic pallet and method for adjusting pallet position.

In an exemplary embodiment, an electromagnetic pallet assembly 100 (FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C) includes one or more electromagnetic cells 102 (FIG. 2) coupled to a pallet base 104. An electromagnetic pallet frame 106 is supported above the pallet base 104 by a plurality of pillars 108. A pallet central processing system 110 (not shown) is configured to control the electromagnetic cells 102 and/or the pallet frame 104. A signal adapter assembly 112 is configured to transmit signal between the central processing system 110 and a remote control device 114 (not shown).

In an embodiment, the pillars 108 can include telescopic pillars. Additionally, the telescopic pillars can further include a pillar locking mechanism (e.g., pillar height-locking holes) configured to secure position of the frame 106 at a selected height. Additionally, the electromagnetic pallet assembly 100 can include a plurality of side rods 116 having a rod locking mechanism (e.g., rod height-locking holes) configured to secure position of the frame 106 at a selected height.

In an embodiment, each electromagnetic cell (FIG. 2) can include an electromagnet 120, an accelerometer 122, and a cell processor 124 (not shown). The accelerometer 122 can be configured to adjust electromagnetic strength of the electromagnet 120 in the electromagnetic cell 102. The electromagnetic cells 102 can be powered internally or externally, depending on an embodiment. The cell processor 124 can be configured to adjust magnet strength of the cell 102 based on an input provided by the accelerometer 122, i.e. based on an incline of the accelerometer 122. In such an arrangement, the electromagnetic cells 102 should be maintained in horizontal position.

FIG. 1B schematically depicts a bottom part of an electromagnetic pallet assembly 100, according to an embodiment. The pallet base 104 can be coupled to at least nine electromagnetic cells 102. In some embodiments, the pallet central processing system 110 can be located in the middle part of the pallet base 104.

In an embodiment, the signal adapter assembly 112 can be configured to communicate with the remote control device 114 wirelessly (e.g., via Bluetooth). The remote control device 114 may be a handheld device or a mobile computer, and in some embodiments may include a cell phone configured to execute a mobile application configured to control electromagnetic properties of the electromagnetic cells 102, the pallet frame 106 (through the pallet central processing system 110) and/or a truck bed surface. Additionally, the electromagnetic pallet assembly 100 can include an electromagnetic sheet 118 supported by the electromagnetic pallet frame 106. The electromagnetic sheet 118 can be controlled with the central processing system 110, for example using a mobile application. (FIG. 1C).

FIG. 3 shows a method 300 for adjusting pallet position, according to an embodiment. At 302, one or more electromagnetic pallets are selected. At 304, an electromagnetic assembly of a truck bed surface is activated. At 306, one or more electromagnetic cells of the selected pallets are activated. At 308, polarity and/or strength of the electromagnetic assembly and/or the electromagnetic cells of the selected pallets are adjusted. At 310, the selected pallets are moved to a selected position.

In an embodiment, the method 300 can further include using a control device to initiate and/or control pallet position adjustment. For example, the control device can be a handheld device or mobile computer and/or wireless control device.

Moving the selected pallets to a selected position can include moving the pallets along longitudinal, transverse, and/or vertical axes. Additionally, that may include stacking one or more pallets. Stacking the pallets may include activating electromagnetic frame and/or a frame sheet of a first (to become bottom) pallet, electromagnetic cells of a base of a second (to become top) pallet, and a truck bed electromagnetic assembly.

In an embodiment, activating an electromagnetic assembly of a truck bed surface can include activating at least a part of a truck bed surface having one or more ferromagnetic materials (e.g., iron). The electromagnetic assembly of a truck bed surface may include a plurality of electromagnetic blocks. The blocks may be independent, depending on an embodiment, and may be controllable by a control device.

The method 300 can further include using one or more space arrangement algorithms to automatically select the position for moving the selected pallets. Electromagnet cells of one or more neighboring pallets may be automatically activated/deactivated to aid position adjustment of the selected pallets.

In another exemplary embodiment, a control device for pallet position adjustment can be configured to execute one or more space adjustment algorithms. For example, such algorithms may include space adjustment based on affinity rules, delivery order number, delivery priory, and other shipping requirements.

In an embodiment, the control device may comprise a smart device (e.g. a cell phone) configured to execute a mobile application capable of executing one or more space adjustment algorithms. For example, the control device can be configured to provide a best-fit space arrangement pattern to a user of the device to accommodate a larger amount of freights, compared to conventional methods. Additionally, the device can calculate preferred space usage based on freight movement patterns involving the least amount of movement. Additionally, the control device can have a user interface. The interface can be used to select a particular freight to be moved. Then electromagnetism of one or more freight pallets and/or an electromagnetic assembly of a truck bed can be activated and/or deactivated to move the freights smoothly. The smooth movement of the freight may be achieved by changing the polarity and/or strength of electromagnetic cells of the pallets. Mobile application may be configured to control electromagnetism and polarity of electromagnetic members (such as cells, frame, and/or truck bed) via Bluetooth commands.
