The invention concerns a suction silencer (1) for an encapsulated refrigerant compressor, with an inlet (5), an outlet (6), a damping chamber (7) connecting the inlet (5) and the outlet (6) for sound attenuation, and an equalization chamber connected to the damping chamber (7) for equalizing the pressure of the damping chamber (7),

wherein the suction silencer (1) is provided in the operating position for integration in a compressor housing (20) of the refrigerant compressor having a bottom area (21) for reception of an oil sump (26).

To ensure a continuous pressure equalization between the damping chamber (7) and the environment even during start-up of the refrigerant compressor, it is intended in accordance with the invention that the equalization chamber is designed as a first equalization chamber (11) with a first opening (9) for pressure equalization and the suction silencer (1) has a further, second equalization chamber (14) with a second opening (10) for pressure equalization.

An autonomous mobile charging management vehicle is configured to carry a plurality of mobile charging carts. The autonomous mobile charging management vehicle includes a container, a ramp, and a sorting device. The container is configured to accommodate the plurality of mobile charging carts. The ramp is rotatably arranged on one side of the container and is rotatable to a ground where the management vehicle is located to provide a travel path for the mobile charging cart to enter the container. The sorting device is configured to generate an order for the plurality of mobile charging carts to enter the container according to current power of each mobile charging cart of the plurality of mobile charging carts and send instructions to the plurality of mobile charging carts to cause the plurality of mobile charging carts to enter the container in the order.

An arrangement includes a motor vehicle (12) and a transport apparatus (20) attachable on the motor vehicle (12). The transport apparatus (20) has a sensor apparatus (48) connected to a control unit (54) that is connected to a motor vehicle control unit (30) in a signal-related manner. The sensor apparatus (48) and the control unit (54) are designed such that the sensor apparatus (48) acquires at least one state variable of the transport apparatus (20) in its attached state on the motor vehicle (12), and the at least one acquired state variable is monitored by the control unit (54) with respect to an attachment-critical and/or loading-critical state of the transport apparatus (20).

The present invention discloses a multifunctional vehicle lifting, steering, moving and obstacle crossing device. The apparatus is composed of a rotating mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a running mechanism and a control mechanism, is mounted at a bottom of an automobile, can be conveniently folded at the bottom of the automobile when not used at ordinary times, and has characteristics of portability, flexibility, no space occupation and easy operation. The apparatus can realize functions of a vehicle, such as lifting, rotating, moving and the like, in a wired or wireless control manner, and effectively overcome defects that the vehicle cannot realize four-wheel off-ground, entire side movement and in-situ rotation or pass through a narrow road or stride across a wide ditch or cross a high and narrow obstacle, thereby completing relatively difficult tasks of the vehicle, such as parking, moving, turning-around and turning in a narrow space, crossing ditches etc.

A cargo lift system and method for a pickup truck or similar vehicle. The apparatus fits within the cargo box of a pickup truck and can be deployed to positions above and below the cargo bed. The system includes a set of movement synchronizers configured to synchronize movement of the lifting and lowering structures to prevent binding and racking during operation, thus allowing the construction of the apparatus to be more compact and lighter in weight.

The present disclosure is directed to commercial vehicle loading and unloading systems, and associated systems, devices, and methods. In one embodiment, a cargo loading and unloading system includes a cargo loading and unloading assembly and/or a cargo repositioning system. The assembly includes a first mechanical arm and a second mechanical arm that are mountable at opposite sides of an opening of the trailer. Each mechanical arm includes a first portion and a second portion pivotally coupled to the first portion. The first portions are configured to vertically raise and lower the second portions and move the second portions laterally along the opening of the trailer. The second portions include rollers and are configured to support cargo on the rollers as the mechanical arms are used to hold the cargo off the ground, and to selectively convey the cargo at least partially into or out of the trailer via the rollers.

A bale loading trailer has a bale supporting frame mounted on wheels. A fork assembly is pivotally mounted beside a front end of the frame configured to engage a bale when in a lowered position, and to disengage the bale when in a raised position such that the bale moves onto the front end of the bale supporting frame. A hydraulic cylinder moves the fork assembly between positions. A hydraulic motor driven conveyor chain assembly extends along the bale supporting frame, and loaded bales rest on, and move along the frame in concert with, the conveyor chain. A valve circuit connects the hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic motor drive such that as the fork assembly moves from the raised position to the lowered position, hydraulic fluid flows from the hydraulic cylinder through the hydraulic motor drive and causes the conveyor chain assembly to move a bale length rearward.

Methodologies, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for relocating pallets and receptacles. A shipping motor vehicle has a weight sensor within a cargo area that measures a weight of a pallet or a receptacle. A location sensor located within the cargo area identifies available storage locations within the cargo area, and a computing device equipped with a processor computes a destination location within the cargo area for the pallet or receptacle based, at least in part, on the weight of the pallet or receptacle measured by the weight sensor. An internal conveyor system located within the shipping motor vehicle receives the pallet or receptacle from an external conveyor system and automatically relocates the pallet or receptacle to the destination location within the cargo area.

The present invention concerns a device for locking/unlocking a pallet on a support structure in a predefined position, including activation means for activating and deactivating the locking of the pallet. The activation means includes studs that are movable and retractable, mounted sliding in side members on each lateral side of the pallet, the studs being capable of engaging in housings provided in the support structure; drive members mounted in the side members of the pallet to move the studs between a retracted position corresponding to unlocking and a laterally protruding position on the side members corresponding to locking; and removable actuation means suitable for being disposed on or in the pallet, in a position in which they mechanically engage with the drive members in order to control the movement of the studs.
