  • Publication number: 20240141939
    Abstract: A chassis quick release device includes a housing including a base with a connected sliding channel and accommodating space therein and a cover assembled with the base, a locking block linearly movably set in the accommodating space, and an operating handle having a rod body positioned on the sliding channel and a grip assembled with the rod body. The rod body has a cylindrical joint that corresponds to the grip and has a shaft groove defined therein. The grip is provided with a sleeve corresponding to the cylindrical joint and defining therein an accommodating cavity. Moving the operating handle in the direction of the housing causes the locking block to slide out from the accommodating space to form a locked state. Pulling the operating handle away from the housing causes the locking block to move linearly in a second direction to form an unlocked state.

  • Publication number: 20240132330
    Abstract: Motor control architecture including a travel, a hoist, and a controller is disclosed. The travel disposed on a main rail having an auxiliary-encoder includes a master-driver and a slave-driver for driving two motors. Each motor has a main-encoder. The hoist drives a rope and calculates a rope length continuously. The controller calculates an anti-sway position command based on the rope-length and a position command. The two drivers perform a full closed-loop computation based on a feedback of one main-encoder, a feedback of the auxiliary-encoder, and the anti-sway position command. Wherein, the master-driver controls one motor based on a speed command generated by the full closed-loop computation and the slave-driver follows the speed command and a torque command of the master-driver to drive another motor; or the two drivers compensate the torque command based on an error value between the feedback of one main-encoder and the feedback of the auxiliary-encoder.
