Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to Automation and Remote Control of Forestry Hydraulic Self-Feeding Chipper via Long-Range LPWAN RF Technology.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This innovative technology uses internet connectivity and cutting-edge wireless communication to automate and remotely control Forestry Hydraulic Self-Feeding Chippers. The chipper's activation and deactivation functions may be conveniently monitored by operators and authorized staff, providing better control options. It offers handy control capabilities both on-site and remotely thanks to its user-friendly touch display and internet-based web dashboard linkage feature. This invention helps forestry operations greatly by enabling effective chipper control in a range of environmental circumstances.
The forestry industry faces challenges in effectively managing and operating Forestry Hydraulic Self-Feeding Chippers. Effective control mechanisms are sometimes absent from current systems, making it difficult for operators to precisely and remotely monitor chipper functions. Furthermore, the lack of sophisticated communication limits the ability to monitor and regulate in real time. The industry's ability to modernize and streamline processes is hindered by this technology divide.
CA3192818A1 - A wood chipper comprising a chamber in which wood is chipped, a discharge of chipped wood from the chamber, and a pair of rollers at least one of which is driven. The rollers are positioned for feeding of wood between the rollers and into the chamber. One of the rollers is a smooth roller, and an other of the rollers is driven and has cutting elements thereon. The at least one roller is driven by a hydrostatic pump. A plurality of legs are height adjustable for supporting the wood chipper and for positioning a power receiving means at different heights for aligning with connection to a tractor power take-off. Forestry Hydraulic Self-Feeding Chipper Control and Monitoring using LPWAN RF Technology is the novelty of the system.
US11752505B2 - A wood chipper comprising a chamber in which wood is chipped, and a pair of rollers for feeding of the wood into the chamber. One of the rollers is a smooth roller and may or may not be an idle roller, and an other of the rollers is driven and has cutting elements thereon. One or more pressurized gas springs are attached to the rollers to apply a predetermined pressure to the rollers to cause the cutting elements to bite into the wood fed between the rollers. The cutting elements are blades each of which is un-notched in a direction radially of the other roller and each of which extends over substantially the entire length of the other roller. Forestry Hydraulic Self-Feeding Chipper Control and Monitoring using LPWAN RF Technology is the novelty of the system.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention.
This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention and nor is it intended for determining the scope of the invention.
To further clarify advantages and features of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof, which is illustrated in the appended drawings. It is appreciated that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail with the accompanying drawings.
This cutting-edge solution is designed to provide effective and intuitive control for self-feeding hydraulic forestry chippers. Made up of two key parts, the ARC_FHSFMote and the ARC_FHSFCMote, it provides a wide range of control possibilities. As the main control module, the ARC_FHSFMote consists of an Actuator, an RTC Module for timing, an ATmega328 Board, a LoRa RF Module, and a dependable Power Supply. Long-range communication is made possible with the LoRa RF Module, which gives operators the ability to wirelessly control chipper functions from a distance. This module takes over the basic operational control of the chipper with the help of an actuator. The more sophisticated ARC_FHSFCMote, on the other hand, adds new functions while sharing parts with the ARC_FHSFMote, like the ATmega328 Board and LoRa RF Module.

This cutting-edge solution is designed to provide effective and intuitive control for self-feeding hydraulic forestry chippers. Made up of two key parts, the ARC_FHSFMote and the ARC_FHSFCMote, it provides a wide range of control possibilities. As the main control module, the ARC_FHSFMote consists of an Actuator, an RTC Module for timing, an ATmega328 Board, a LoRa RF Module, and a dependable Power Supply. Long-range communication is made possible with the LoRa RF Module, which gives operators the ability to wirelessly control chipper functions from a distance. This module takes over the basic operational control of the chipper with the help of an actuator. The more sophisticated ARC_FHSFCMote, on the other hand, adds new functions while sharing parts with the ARC_FHSFMote, like the ATmega328 Board and LoRa RF Module.
The addition of an ESP01 Wifi Board expands control possibilities beyond radio frequency transmission by enabling internet connectivity. This module's Touch TFT Display offers a convenient local control interface for users. Additionally, when linked to the internet, it allows for remote control via a personalized online dashboard. The incorporation of a web-based interface augments accessibility and adaptability, permitting authorized personnel to operate the chipper remotely. The ARC_FHSFMote can be used for basic local control during operation by an authorized user or operator via the physical interface that is supplied. By fusing the ease of a touch screen with the ability to operate the chipper remotely via the internet, the ARC_FHSFCMote provides a more advanced control experience. Both modules' long-range communication capabilities add to the system's overall effectiveness by guaranteeing smooth control even in difficult forestry conditions.
