Introduction
Mitsuharu Morisawa is an inventor associated with Tsukuba, Japan. His work includes a patented unloading control device designed to help a forklift remove its forks from a pallet safely and precisely. The available information lists 1 patent for Morisawa.
Latest Patents
Morisawa’s listed patent, “Unloading Control Device,” describes a system that determines whether a pallet held by forklift forks has contacted the upper surface of a loading area. It estimates changes in the pallet’s posture relative to the forks and uses that information to guide the unloading process.
When contact is detected, the system controls the forklift’s tilt cylinder so the forks move toward a position parallel to the pallet’s main surface. It then controls the forklift’s withdrawal of the forks based on the detected tilt angle, helping coordinate fork removal with the pallet’s position.
