AGV scheduling method realized through uploading task file

Abstract

The invention discloses an AGV scheduling method realized through uploading a task file. The method comprises the following steps that 1) RFID tags are embedded in all the nodes of a magnetic navigation track and all the node where an AGV may stay or carries out task operation; and 2) an upper computer scheduling system processes a selected task route and a set parameter into a task file, through a wireless communication mode, the task file is uploaded to the AGV, and the AGV receives and reads the task file, determines whether a position where the AGV itself is located is correct according to a parameter set in the task file and executes an assigned task. The parameter comprises an RFID number of a point where the AGV is located, waiting time at an assigned point, an activity performed at the assigned point, selection to a branch at an assigned node and the like. In the invention, AGV control does not depend on a landmark, a base station or a graphic identification; task details are stored as a file form so that one or the plurality of AGVs are effectively scheduled at different time periods; and the method is flexible and applicable, and cost is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of unmanned guided vehicles, in particular to an AGV scheduling method realized by uploading task files. Background technique [0002] Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV for short), refers to a transport vehicle equipped with automatic guidance devices such as electromagnetic or optical, capable of driving along a prescribed guiding path, with safety protection and various transfer functions, and used in industrial applications There is no need for a driver, and the power source is a rechargeable battery. Generally, the computer can be used to control its travel route and behavior, or use the electromagnetic track (electromagnetic path-following system) to set up its travel route. The electromagnetic track is pasted on the floor, and the unmanned van follows the information brought by the electromagnetic track. To move and act. [0003] AGV is characterized by wheeled movement. Compared with walking, crawling o...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Existing AGV scheduling methods rely too much on landmarks, base stations or graphic signs when positioning or guiding, and the scheduling method based on landmarks or graphic signs leads to various operating parameters and actions of different AGVs passing through the same road section, such as speed Adjustment, ringing, path selection, etc. all depend on the identification of the logo, and it is difficult to achieve a more flexible and targeted scheduling scheme in the scheduling process. This invention provides a solution
