Abstract
A transportation device and an automatic tilt stabilizer are disclosed herein. The transportation device has a structure with wheels joined by a shaft to a platform or chassis configured to support a basket, a mat, a seat and/or a tray. The automatic tilt stabilizer is configured to automatically stabilize the inclination of the platform or chassis, and includes a tilt sensor configured to detect an inclination of the platform or chassis, and a motor activated by a microcontroller configured to correct the inclination of the platform or chassis, so that the platform or chassis returns to a predefined inclination.
Claims12
A transportation device comprising a structure including wheels joined by a shaft to a platform or chassis configured to support a basket, a mat, a seat and/or a tray, and an automatic tilt stabilizer for the platform or chassis, wherein the automatic tilt stabilizer comprises:
- a tilt sensor configured to sense an inclination of the platform or chassis with respect to a horizontal axis, and a motor activated by a microcontroller to correct the inclination of the platform or chassis, such that the platform or chassis returns to a predefined inclination with respect to the horizontal axis, thereby automatically leveling the platform or chassis upon encountering an uneven surface of a terrain;
- wherein the microcontroller is programmed by a first control to predefine a specific inclination of the platform or chassis;
- and
- wherein the microcontroller comprises a second control configured to send instructions to the motor, independent from signals sent by the tilt sensor, to rock the platform or chassis of the transport device.
A stabilizer for a transportation device, the stabilizer comprising:
- at least one tilt sensor configured to sense the inclination of a platform or chassis with respect to a horizontal axis, the tilt sensor connected to a microcontroller comprising a signal filter for the tilt sensor, the microcontroller configured to activate a motor to correct an inclination of the platform or chasis and return the platform or chassis to a predefined inclination with respect to the horizontal axis, thereby automatically leveling the platform or chassis upon encountering an uneven surface of a terrain;
- wherein the microcontroller is programmed by a first control to allow a specific inclination of the platform or chassis to be predefined;
- and
- wherein the microcontroller comprises a second control configured to send instructions to the motor, independent from signals sent by the tilt sensor, to rock the platform or chassis of the transport device.
