A parts feeding apparatus includes: a parts feeder disposed on one side of a worktable where work is performed and having a plurality of feeder slots each for loading at least one parts box; a position mover adapted to load the parts boxes onto the parts feeder or unload the parts boxes loaded on the plurality of slots to move the parts boxes horizontally or vertically; a parts storage unit located to face the parts feeder and having a plurality of storage unit slots for loading at least one or more parts boxes to store the parts boxes to be fed to the parts feeder therein; and a control unit adapted to control the parts feeder and the position mover so that the parts boxes are changed in position and aligned.

A feeding system comprises a hopper having a discharge port at a bottom of the hopper, a flow control gate disposed at the discharge port of the hopper, a sliding rail obliquely disposed below the hopper, and a vibration excitation unit. The hopper accommodates a plurality of different types of product components and each of the product components flows out from the discharge port of the hopper. A flow rate of the product components flowing out from the discharge port is adjustable by adjusting an opening degree of the flow control gate. The sliding rail is configured to receive the product components flowing out from the discharge port. The vibration excitation unit receives the product components from the sliding rail and is configured to separate the product components and to change a posture of the product components by virtue of vibration.

A train bulk cargo loading system having a disconnected railroad track scale, includes a disconnected railroad track scale (1), a tractor (2), a lifting scraping plow (4), a controllable vibration charging hopper (6), a surge bin (8), a belt conveyor (9) and a control terminal (7). The train bulk cargo loading system having the disconnected railroad track scale has a low overall height and a small footprint, thus reducing the construction and production costs. The system integrates loading, trimming, measuring and data sharing, and features uniform loading, balanced train wheel pressure, and accurate measuring. Thus, huge human and material resources consumption caused by uneven loading of an original loading system, large wheel pressure deviation and secondary trimming and measuring required by the railway department may be avoided, significantly reducing the construction cost and operation cost.

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.

According to various embodiments, the transporting arrangement may have the following: a multi-level transporting section, which has a first transporting level and a second transporting level (102b) arranged above it; a feeding conveyor for feeding a container in the direction of the multi-level transporting section; a distributing conveyor between the feeding conveyor and the multi-level transporting section, the distributing conveyor (106) being mounted at the multi-level transporting section pivotably between the first transporting level and the second transporting level and intended for distributing the container to the first transporting level or the second transporting level; a sensor arrangement, which is configured to sense at least one physical property of the container; a pivoting control device, which is configured to pivot the distributing conveyor between the first transporting level and the second transporting level if the at least one property satisfies a predetermined criterion.

A stockyard joint reclaiming system includes an outer output conveyor, a scraper reclaimer provided with a scraper mechanism, an inner feeder, and an inner output conveyor arranged below a stockpile. The scraper mechanism includes a chain and a scraper installed on a chain. The chain moves forwards or backwards under the action of a driving device to drive the scraper to push materials to a corresponding discharging port. The scraper mechanism drives the scraper through forward or reverse operation of the chain for pushing the materials to the output conveyor and a reclaiming line can be selected. A reclaiming mode is flexible and more output lines are available. When the material level is lower than a horizontal position, the scraper is driven to move through a reverse operation of the chain to push the materials to an upper part of the inner feeder for realizing reclaiming, thereby reducing unnecessary energy consumption and effectively guaranteeing the reclaiming capability of the scraper reclaimer.

A system and method for discharging material from a chute on a farm implement into a container or bin such that the discharged material is evenly distributed in the container or bin. The system and method includes a farm implement with a bin for holding material, a conveyor for discharging material from the bin and a chute at the end of the conveyor for directing the material discharged from the conveyor. The chute may be moved into a plurality of positions based on sensor outputs to facilitate the even distribution of material in the container or bin receiving the discharged material.

A bulk material shipping container unloader having an expandable supporter, a pallet receiver supported by the extendable supporter, a material director supported by the pallet receiver, and a bulk material container gate mover supported by the pallet receiver.

The present disclosure discloses an automatic leveling control method for a four-leg support working platform, which comprises the steps: determining the mass center position of the working platform, determining the main bearing quadrant and distinguishing active legs from the driven leg; adjusting the driven leg to weak state, controlling all legs to synchronously actuate for leveling; calculating the limit compensating actuation length of the driven leg, and performing compensating actuation until accomplishing the leveling process. The method is advantageous in: high speed, high robustness, no repeated oscillation. The mass center always stays within the bearing zone of the active legs, thus completely eliminating capsizing risk of the working platform. The compensating actuation of the driven leg ensures there is no weak leg, and hence high attitude and load-bearing stability of the working platform is achieved.
