Special automatic charger for automatic guided vehicle

Abstract

The invention discloses a special automatic charger for an automatic guided vehicle. The charger comprises a casing body, a charging part and a control part, wherein the charging part and the control part are arranged inside the casing body. The charger is characterized by further comprising a connecting part connected with the guided vehicle; the connecting part includes a control switch component, a linear sliding rail module and a connector electrically connected with a charging interface of the guided vehicle; the linear sliding rail module includes a driving motor, a guiding frame, a sliding rail and a screw rod connected with the motor; and the control switch component includes an inductive element, a front limit switch and a rear limit switch, wherein the inductive element is disposed on the casing body, and the front limit switch and the rear limit switch contact and match with a connecting block. Besides, the control part is a control chip with software programs, a control end of the control part is respectively connected with the motor and a driving end of the charging part. By employing the control chip to control the connecting part, the special automatic charger is turned on and off timely, automatically finishes charging the AGV vehicle, reduces manpower input, sufficiently uses vehicle idle time to charge the vehicle, improves vehicle using efficiency and prolongs the service life of batteries.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic charger, in particular to an automatic charger for charging an automatic guided vehicle. Background technique [0002] Automatic guided vehicle or unmanned guided vehicle (Automatic Guided Vehicle, referred to as AGV), which is equipped with automatic guidance devices such as electric, magnetic or optical, can drive along the prescribed guiding path, has safety protection and various transfers Functional transport vehicle, a truck that does not require a driver in industrial applications, and uses a rechargeable battery as its power source. Generally, computers can be used to control its travel route and behavior, or use electric and magnetic tracks to set up its travel route. Electric and magnetic tracks are laid on the floor, and unmanned vehicles follow the information brought by the electric and magnetic tracks. Movement and action. [0003] For a long time, there are two charging methods for automatic guided...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The disadvantages of this method are: each AGV needs to prepare an additional set of batteries and a conventional automatic charger, the cost is relatively high, and the space occupied is relatively large. The number of batteries eliminated after the batteries are scrapped is large, and it is difficult to handle; (2) Automatic charging: After the battery power is exhausted, the AGV automatically runs to the charger to charge

The disadvantage of this method is that the AGV cannot work when it is charging, and the charging time is as long as 8 to 12 hours. The utilization rate of the AGV is low. It is necessary to equip a few more AGV cars, so as not to affect the needs of normal use and increase the cost of use.
