Provided is a moving body capable of transmitting driving force of a drive unit to a spherical wheel without a separation between the spherical wheel and the drive unit even in the case where the moving body receives impact due to the road surface condition or the like. The moving body (10) is a self-sustained mobile robot. The moving body (10) includes a spherical wheel (21), a drive unit (22) which is in contact with the spherical wheel (21) to give a rotational driving force to the spherical wheel (21), a support (31) which supports the drive unit (22), and a biasing mechanism (41) which is suspended from the support (31) and abuts on the spherical wheel (21) to bias the spherical wheel (21) in a direction toward the support (31).

A drill rig with a steering system may include a substructure having a wheelhouse, a drill floor arranged atop the substructure, a mast extending upwardly and above the drill floor, and a steering system arranged within the wheelhouse. The steering system may include a wheel assembly comprising an electric motor configured for driving rotational motion of a wheel, a deployment device configuring for deploying the wheel assembly to carry the drill rig, and a steering mechanism configured for selective engagement with the wheel assembly and rotating the wheel assembly.

An industrial truck comprises a support having a plurality of receptacles and a hydraulic fluid tank comprising a plurality of feet engaged with a bottom surface of the hydraulic fluid tank. Each of the plurality of feet is configured to be received by one of the plurality of receptacles.

A wheel drive apparatus of an automated guide vehicle (AGV) is provided, which includes: a bogie frame; drive frames including a pair of drive wheels installed so that power is transmitted through opposite side surfaces of the bogie frame, and first auxiliary wheels opposite to second auxiliary wheels, with a gap “b” outside of each of the opposite side surfaces of the bogie frame; rotation shaft portions pivotally coupled at shaft points of each of the drive frames and the bogie frame; and connection portions in which first connection arms are respectively formed in the drive frames, and second connection arms are respectively formed in the bogie frame, and the first and second connection arms are vertically connected as a slip rod so as to move up and down at a predetermined gap “a”, and thus which does not cause the drive wheel to float in the air even if any of the auxiliary wheels or any of the drive wheels of the AGV travelling along the floor contacts a depression, a barrier and a slope. (Representative drawing: FIG. 1)

A vehicle-mounted pump system is disclosed for use with a service vehicle. A chassis can be configured to be secured to the service vehicle, and a frame can be supported by the chassis. A plurality of pumps can be supported by the frame, with each of the pumps being configured to pump liquid for dispersal external to the service vehicle. A power source can be supported by at least one of the chassis and the frame. A power transmission system can be configured to transfer power from the power source to the plurality of pumps.

A system and method in a building or vehicle for an actuator operation in response to a sensor according to a control logic, the system comprising a router or a gateway communicating with a device associated with the sensor and a device associated with the actuator over in-building or in-vehicle networks, and an external Internet-connected control server associated with the control logic implementing a PID closed linear control loop and communicating with the router over external network for controlling the in-building or in-vehicle phenomenon. The sensor may be a microphone or a camera, and the system may include voice or image processing as part of the control logic. A redundancy is used by using multiple sensors or actuators, or by using multiple data paths over the building or vehicle internal or external communication. The networks may be wired or wireless, and may be BAN, PAN, LAN, WAN, or home networks.

Electric motors are disclosed. The motors are preferably for use in an automated vehicle, although any one or more of a variety of motor uses are suitable. The motors include lift, turntable, and locomotion motors.

An electric vehicle may include a frame, a set of wheels, and an electric propulsion system comprising an electric motor and a primary battery assembly including a first battery pack that powers the electric motor. The vehicle may also include an auxiliary battery pack configured to power the electric motor when the primary battery assembly is disconnected from the electric motor. The primary battery assembly may be non-destructively removable from the frame. In addition, the auxiliary battery pack may be fixedly attached to the frame.

A work vehicle including a tank (31,131) formed so as to extend from a rear part of a vehicle body toward a center, wherein the tank includes: a first storage tank (32) located on the rear side of the vehicle body, and stores stored fluid (9); a second storage tank (34) located on a side close to the center in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body, and stores the fluid; a partition part (36) that separates the first storage tank and the second storage tank; a discharge member (49) that has a discharge opening (49a) extending and opened inside the second storage tank, and discharges, from the second storage tank, the fluid stored in the second storage tank; and a hollow tube member (60) that has a first end communicated with the first storage tank through the partition part so as to enable the stored fluid to flow, and a second end having a hollow tube opening (62) extending and opened toward the center of the vehicle body inside the second storage tank, wherein the hollow tube opening of the hollow tube member is located on the central side of the vehicle body with respect to the discharge opening of the discharge member.
