Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an object identification and control system.
  • the invention relates to a system of the said kind, for remote identification in complete safety of tools or devices in general, and for the consequent control of the operative parameters of the same devices by means of means of motion or command in general, controlled by means of control.
  • a problem of this kind of devices is the possibility that the operator can select the wrong operating speed, with the risk of affecting the activity that is taking place and, in some cases, even the integrity of the tool applied on the rod.
  • the systems of this kind are not easily applicable, in particular to tools arranged at the end of a rod, in the first case as a consequence of the presence of wires, which could constitute an hindrance to the transmission of motion along the rod, in the second case because of the possible presence of interference signals, due for example to the presence in the immediate vicinity of a different tool applied at a different rod and moving system.
  • the solution according to the present invention aims to provide an object identification and control system wherein the identification is carried out indirectly, ie not where the tools are applied, but directly next to the drive motor of the same.
  • an object identification and control system which consists of interchangeable elements of mechanical interface between said means of operation and said objects, each mechanical coupling element being compatible with one and only one of said objects, and of a station of housing and identification of said interchangeable elements of mechanical interface, when not in use, said station being positioned in proximity of a device of control of said means of operation and detecting the presence of each of said interchangeable elements of mechanical interface and according to such a detection sending a signal to said device of control.
  • the purpose of the present Invention is therefore to provide an object identification and control system which allows to overcome the limits of the solutions according to the prior art and to obtain the technical results previously described.
  • a further purpose of the invention is that said system can be realised with substancially limited costs, as fas as both the production costs and the operative cost.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an object identification and control system which is substantially simple, safe and reliable
  • an object identification and control system comprising means of operation of a plurality of objects that can alternatively be coupled with said means of operation, means of control of said means of operation and means of identification of said objects, said means of identification being connected to said means of control, wherein said objects are agricultural tools, said means of identification comprise a station of housing and identification of one or more mechanical coupling elements of said means of operation and said objects, said station of housing being provided with a housing seat for each mechanical coupling element, compatible with said mechanical coupling element and with no other, each housing seat being provided with means of detecting the presence of the correspondent mechanical coupling element, said means of detecting of each seat being all connected to a control unit, programmed according to the signal received from any of said means of detecting, controlling said means of operation, each mechanical coupling element being compatible with only one of said objects and with no other, said means of operation comprising a motor and means of transmission arranged respectively within a handle and a support shaft.
  • said means of operation can comprise a motor and means of transmission of motion from said motor to said objects.
  • said means of identification are positioned in proximity of said means of control.
  • said mechanical coupling elements can be constituted by a body provided with means of coupling with said means of operation and with means of coupling with said objects, said means of coupling with said means of operation being the same for all the interface elements and said means of coupling with said objects being different for each interface element, each interface element being compatible with only one of said objects and with no other.
  • said means of coupling with said means of operation are constituted by an interlocking shaped seat, which is inserted on a correspondent pin of said means of operation, or by a threaded seat, which is screwed on a corresponding threded bolt of said means of operation.
  • the efficiency of the device of the present invention which allows the identification of objects in an indirect manner, i.e. not through the true identification of the object and its use in the position wherein the object itself is applied, but rather through the detection of 'failure of a mechanical coupling from the respective corresponding seat of said housing means clustering of identification, placed in proximity of the means-means clustering of control of operation of the objects themselves, but rather through the detection of the absence of the corresponding mechanical coupling element from the respective housing seat of said means of identification, positioned in proximity of the means of control of means of operation of the objects themselves.
  • the object identification and control system comprises a casing 10, inside of which an electric motor (not shown) is positioned, powered by means of an electric cable ⁇ 11 and connected to a motor shaft 12, arranged inside a hollow rod 13 of support.
  • the electric motor and the motor shaft 12 constitute the means of operation of the system according to the present invention.
  • the electric motor is also connected to a switch 14, manually operable by an operator, said switch being arranged on a handle 15.
  • the electric motor and the switch 14 are additionally connected to each other by means of an electric circuit (not shown), to which a control unit (not shown) is connected.
  • the control unit, together with the switch 14, constitutes the means of control of the system according to the present invention.
  • the control unit is in its turn connected to a plurality of seats 16, 16', 16", ... for housing the respective mechanical coupling elements (shown in figures 4A and 5A, 4B and 5B, 4C and 5C , respectively with reference numbers 17, 17', 17"; and in figures 8A and 9A, 8B and 9B, 8C and 9C , respectively with reference numbers 18, 18', 18"), which constitute the means of identification of the system according to the present invention.
  • the motor shaft and the relative hollow rod 13 can be prolonged by the application of an extension consisting of a fixed or telescopic support shaft 19, inside of which means of transmission of motion are arranged which can be of different type, such as for example a gear, a worn, or a flexible or fixed or telescopic transmission shaft.
  • a chainsaw 20 which can be interchanged with other tools suitable for being moved by the means of operation according to the invention, for example tools of harvesting fruits, berries, coffee or olives, but also chain saws, jig saws, hedge trimmers, scissors, hedge clippers, blowers, fans, blades, pumps.
  • figures 3A, 3B and 3C show respectively a shaker of olives 21, a hacksaw 22 and a mower 23.
  • such tools are examples of objects to which the system according to the present invention can be applied, such objects being able to cover other kinds of products to which the teachings of the present invention can be broadened without requesting any inventive effort by a person skilled in the art.
  • each interface element 17, 17', 17" is provided with an identical seat 26 for the interlocking coupling at the end of the transmission shaft 12 and with a different external surface 27, 27', 27", for interlocking coupling in a corresponding seat of the drive shaft of a corresponding different tool.
  • the coupling can also be realised directly between the motor shaft 12 and the seat 24 of the driven shaft 25 of a particular tool 20.
  • each interface element can be used with a specific tool and is incompatibe with other tools.
  • the means of identification of the system according to the present invention are constituted by a plurality of seats 16, 16', 16", ... each seat being suitable for housing a respective mechanical coupling element 17, 17', 17".
  • the control unit of the system is connected to said seats in a way to detect the presence in each of them of the respective mechanical coupling element. In operation, according to the detected presences, the control unit is programmed to impart to the means of operation different operative modes, for example different ritation speed.
  • the detection of the presence of all the mechanical coupling elements in their respective seats signals that to the means of operation can be connected only the tool that can be coupled directly, the control unit imparting the motor the corresponding mode of operation.
  • the absence of a specific mechanical coupling element 17 signals that to the means of operation can be connected only the tool that can be coupled by means of said specific mechanical coupling element 17, the control unit imparting to the motor the corresponding mode of operation, different from that of the previous case.
  • control unit prevents starting the motor, i.e. commands the operation according to a safe mode, such as to allow an operation that does not compromise the tool possibly applied to the means of operation and neither the result of the performed work, also by executing it in a non optimised mode.
  • FIG. 8-11 it is shown an alternative way of realisation of the system of the present invention, wherein the interface elements 18, 18', 18" are all provided with an identical threaded seat 28 for coupling by screwing at the threaded end 29 of the transmission shaft 12 and with a different external surface 27, 27', 27", for the interlocking coupling in a corresponding housing of the driven shaft of a corresponding different tool, in any aspect similar to the external surface of the interface elements shown with reference to figures 4-5 .
  • the coupling cannot be on the contrary realised directly between the motor shaft 12 and the seat 24 of the driven shaft 25 of a specific tool 20.
