Automatic Detachment Device for Automating Manual Transport Devices

Automatic Detachment Device for Automating Manual Carts via Vertical Gripping Mechanism

This technology provides an automatic detachment mechanism that securely couples with one side of a manual transport device using a vertical gripping structure.

Existing manual transport devices are difficult to retrofit for electrification, and replacing them with automated electric carts often requires disposing of the original equipment.

This technology utilizes a gripping module consisting of a housing, an upper gripper, and a vertically movable lower gripping member driven by a drive shaft to firmly secure manual transport devices and integrate them with automation systems. Applicable to logistics, manufacturing automation, and service robots, it reduces the costs of transitioning to automation without the need to discard existing manual equipment.

Key Features:

• Includes an adjustment module connected to the gripping module to control its vertical height, wherein the gripping module comprises a gripping housing with a predetermined vertical length.
• An automatic detachment device for automating manual transport devices, comprising a lower gripping member positioned below the upper gripping part and connected to the gripping housing to allow for vertical movement.
• An upper gripping part positioned at the front upper section of the gripping housing, extending forward with a predetermined width in the front-to-back direction.
• A gripping module that secures one side of the manual transport device to be coupled.
