AGV control system and control method, and AGV system

Abstract

The invention provides an AGV control system and control method, and an AGV system. The control system controls an AGV running on a magnetic stripe guide rail. At least one station is arranged on the magnetic stripe guide rail. The control system includes a control unit, a magnetic navigation sensor, an RFID card reader, an RFID tag, and a station magnetic stripe. According to the running direction of the AGV, the RFID tag is set between a starting point of the AGV and the station and is at a preset distance from the station, and the station magnetic stripe is set within a preset range of the station; the control unit, the magnetic navigation sensor and the RFID card reader are all installed on the AGV, and the magnetic navigation sensor and the RFID card reader are both communicatively connected with the control unit; and the RFID card reader is used to detect and identify tag information of the RFID tag, the magnetic navigation sensor is used to detect and identify the station magnetic stripe, and the control unit positions the AGV according to the station magnetic stripe and controls the AGV to execute a control command in the RFID tag information at the station. The AGV control system provided by the invention is capable of precise and positioning control of the AGV, and the control precision is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the control field of automatic transport vehicles, in particular to an AGV control system, a control method, and an AGV system. Background technique [0002] With the increasing cost of labor and the complexity of manual management, more and more manual operations are gradually replaced by automated machines. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) are equipped with automatic guidance such as electromagnetic or optical The device is a transport vehicle that can travel along a prescribed guiding path, has safety protection and various transfer functions, and is a transport vehicle that does not require a driver in industrial applications. [0003] AGV mostly uses magnetic navigation to work, and its operation process is as follows: a magnetic strip guide rail is laid on the preset travel path of the AGV, and the AGV will run along the set magnetic strip guide rail. Moreover, there will be multiple stations on the magnetic strip guide r...
