Publication number: 20240309661Abstract: A rebar tying robot disclosed herein may be configured to perform a rebar tying operation in which the rebar tying robot performs alternately and repeatedly an operation of moving over a primary rebar and a secondary rebar and an operation of tying the primary rebar and the plurality of secondary rebar together at points where the primary rebar and the plurality of secondary rebar intersect. The rebar tying robot may include a control unit, a longitudinal movement mechanism, a lateral movement mechanism, and a positional information detection mechanism configured to detect a current position of the rebar tying robot. The control unit may be configured to execute a return process in which the control unit control the rebar tying robot to move from the current position of the rebar tying robot to a specific position without performing the rebar tying operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2022Publication date: September 19, 2024Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventor: Kazuki OGUCHI

Publication number: 20240300004Abstract: A rebar tying robot may include a rebar tying unit, a conveying unit configured to convey the rebar tying unit, and a control unit configured to control an operation of the conveying unit. The conveying unit may include a longitudinal movement mechanism configured to move the rebar tying robot in a front-rear direction, and a first three-dimensional distance sensor configured to output first point cloud data which represents a three-dimensional position of a subject in a first field of view by point clouds. The control unit may be configured to execute a first rebar extraction process in which the control unit extracts point clouds from the point clouds included in the first point cloud data and a rebar model generation process in which the control unit generates a rebar model based on the point clouds extracted in the first rebar extraction process.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2021Publication date: September 12, 2024Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Kengo ONODA, Kazuki OGUCHI

Patent number: 11714253Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure provides a laser line generator that includes a laser beam source, a conversion lens, a lens holder, a rotation axis, a rotation support, a biasing portion, and a gap adjuster. The rotation support abuts the rotation axis and supports the lens holder such that the lens holder rotates about the rotation axis. The biasing portion brings the lens holder and the rotation support closer to each other. The gap adjuster adjusts a gap dimension between the lens holder and the rotation support that are brought closer to each other by the biasing portion.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2020Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventor: Kazuki Oguchi

Publication number: 20230094722Abstract: A rebar tying robot configured to tie a plurality of first rebars and a plurality of second rebars intersecting the plurality of first rebars at points where the plurality of first rebars and the plurality of second rebars intersect. The rebar tying robot may include a rebar tying machine, a conveying unit configured to convey the rebar tying machine, and a control unit configured to control an operation of the conveying unit. The conveying unit may include a crawler configured to move on the plurality of first rebars and the plurality of second rebars.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2020Publication date: March 30, 2023Applicant: MAKITA CORPORATIONInventors: Tadasuke MATSUNO, Kazuki OGUCHI
