20220018086 · 2022-01-20 ·

The present invention relates to a handheld excavator. The handheld excavator is used for excavating small areas and spaces that are unreachable with a standard excavator. The handheld excavator does not have an operator's seat and can have a four-legged stand, a wheeled stand, or a wall-mounted attachment. The excavator has a 180 degree rotational platform positioned on the stand, a boom extending from the platform, an arm attached to a first end of the boom, and a bucket. The linear and rotational movements of the excavator are controlled by a detachable control panel for remotely operating the handheld excavator. The handheld excavator is powered through built-in batteries and has a hydraulic mechanism for driving the movements.

Utility whisker broom

A first work tool arm is rotatably attached to a frame or reference structure, a second work tool arm rotatably attached to the first work tool arm, and a work tool attached to an end of the second work tool arm. An actuator and a spring are each rotatably attached to the second work tool arm and configured such that separate movement of the first work tool arm relative to the frame or reference structure and movement of the second work tool arm and work tool relative to the first work tool arm are achieved with actuation of the actuator.

Predictive replacement for heavy machinery

Systems and methods for predicting replacement of a component of an industrial machine. One system includes an electronic processor configured to determine a wear rate of the component based on a current dimension of the component and historical dimensions of the component and determine a replacement cost for the component. Determining the replacement cost includes determining a cost of downtime for replacing the component based on a time for replacing the component and a downtime cost for the industrial machine during the time for replacing the component, a material cost in replacing the component, and an operating cost of the industrial machine associated with not replacing the component. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a replacement recommendation for the component based on the wear rate, the replacement cost, and discard criteria and output the replacement recommendation.
