Abstract

Self-guiding system for motorized scaffolds intended for mobile work at height, consisting of a reduction motor (1) geared to the flywheel (2) of the scaffold to which the system is to be installed. Presence sensors (3) installed in the front part of the scaffold transmit the terrain information to an intelligent logic module (4), which, previously programmed, activates the motor (1), making the steering wheel (2) turn for the scaffold to take the required path.

Description

DESCRIPTION

Self-guided system for motorized scaffolding

The present invention relates to a self-guiding system designed for directional motorized scaffolds. Thanks to its electric pedal operation, and its self-steering by means of sensors, the function of the operators at height is significantly simplified. While moving through the work area, the scaffold to which said system is attached, will describe a rectilinear trajectory that will mean a greater concentration on work tasks.

Technical sector

This invention has its application within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of equipment, devices and elements applicable to agriculture in general and scaffolding in particular.

Background of the invention

Years ago, manual scaffolding began to be used in the agricultural sector, leaving aside other tools such as stilts or ladders. These allow work at different heights, facilitating the work of the operators.

After its good acceptance, motorized scaffolding is introduced on the market, such as utility models number U201800164 and U202000303. Motorized scaffolds like the models mentioned, simplify the work even more, allowing movement without the need to get off the scaffold itself.

Now there is the problem that, when an operator finishes an area, he has to move a few meters to continue with the next, which means stopping doing the work, to pilot the scaffold, with the consequent loss of time and efficiency in the operations. labors.

Explanation of the invention

The autoguiding system in itself constitutes a novelty within its field of application, since it facilitates the work carried out on motorized scaffolding, allowing freedom in the hands of its user. The autonomy of the operator means greater efficiency and performance at work.

More specifically, the autoguiding system is made up of a gear motor geared to the steering wheel of the scaffold, which, through proximity sensors connected to an intelligent logic module, allows the vehicle's direction to be corrected so that it follows the desired path.

This means that the operator only has to be attentive to actuate the scaffold pedal when he finishes the area in which he is, having his hands free to carry out the tasks that are desired while moving to the next area without leaving his post to drive the electric machine.

In addition, there are two charging possibilities, through the installation of mobile photovoltaic panels, so that the scaffold batteries are charged naturally or through an electrical connection charger.

Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented following:

Figure 1.- Shows a right isometric view of the autoguiding system installed on a motorized scaffold.

Figure 2.- Shows a left isometric view of the autoguiding system installed on a motorized scaffold.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

The self-guiding system for motorized scaffolds consists of a gear motor (1), which engages the flywheel (2) of the scaffold to which it is applied. Sensors (3) will be in charge of detecting obstacles on the way, and guiding the scaffold so that it describes the desired trajectory. This is achieved through an intelligent logic module (4) previously programmed. When the pedal (5) of the scaffold is actuated, the sensors (3) detect irregularities in the trajectory and send that information to the logic module (4) and this corrects, with the actuation of the motor (1), the trajectory of the scaffold turning the handwheel (2).

The system also has two charging options. One by means of photovoltaic panels (6) installed in the upper part of the scaffold, mobile to take advantage of the position of the sun, and another through the charger for connection to the electrical network that the motorized scaffold has.

Claims (3)

1. Self-guiding system for motorized scaffolds intended for mobile work at height, consisting of a reduction motor (1) geared to the flywheel (2) of the scaffold to which the system is to be installed. Presence sensors (3) installed in the front part of the scaffold transmit the terrain information to an intelligent logic module (4), which, previously programmed, activates the motor (1), making the steering wheel (2) turn for the scaffold to take the required path. 2. Self-guiding system for motorized scaffolding according to claim 1, characterized in that the sensors (3) are activated when the start pedal (5) of the scaffold is actuated. 3. Self-guiding system for motorized scaffolding according to claim 2, characterized in that it has two ways of charging, one with the installation of mobile photovoltaic panels (6), in the upper part of the scaffold, and the other with the charger with plug of current of the motorized scaffold itself.
