PERSON LIFTING DEVICES AND METHODS FOR OPERATING PERSON LIFTING DEVICES

摘要

A person lifting device may comprise a lift actuator operatively connected to an accessory coupling. The person lifting device may also comprise at least one imaging sensor. An electronic control unit may be communicatively coupled to the lift actuator and the at least on imaging sensor, the electronic control unit comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory storing a computer readable and executable instruction set. When executed by the processor, the instruction set collects, with the at least one imaging sensor, at least one image of a person to be lifted with the person lifting device; determines a characteristic of the person to be lifted with the person lifting device based on the at least one image; determines an identification of a lift accessory for attachment to the accessory coupling based on the determined characteristic; and, in some embodiments, communicates the identification of the lift accessory.

主权项

1. A person lifting device comprising:
a lift actuator operatively connected to an accessory coupling, whereby the lift actuator raises and lowers the accessory coupling; at least one imaging sensor; and an electronic control unit communicatively coupled to the lift actuator and the at least on imaging sensor, the electronic control unit comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory storing a computer readable and executable instruction set which, when executed by the processor:
collects, with the at least one imaging sensor, at least one image of a person to be lifted with the person lifting device;determines, automatically with the electronic control unit and based on the at least one image, a characteristic of the person to be lifted with the person lifting device; anddetermines, automatically with the electronic control unit and based on the determined characteristic, an identification of a lift accessory for attachment to the accessory coupling.
