Automated guided vehicle (AGV) control system

Abstract

The invention discloses an AGV control system which comprises the components of an on-vehicle controller, a communication module and a terminal controller. The on-vehicle controller is arranged in the AGV. The terminal controller is in communication connection with the on-vehicle controller through the communication module. The terminal controller is in communication connection with the storage module through a data wire. The terminal controller is connected with an input device. The input device inputs map information into the terminal controller. The terminal controller stores the map information into the storage module. The map information has one or a plurality of inlets, one or a plurality of outlets and a plurality of intersections. The terminal controller selects each cargo receiving point and each intersection on the map as monitoring points. Through performing adjustment in a control system of a terminal point controller, the AGV control system has advantages of reducing a requirement for a physical connection, realizing no requirement for a physical sensing device, reducing manufacturing cost of the AGV, ensuring reasonable planning for the AGV route, and preventing collision of the AGV.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to management and control technology of automatic guided vehicles for transportation, in particular to an AGV trolley control system. Background technique [0002] AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle, namely: automatic guided transport vehicle) refers to a transport vehicle equipped with automatic guidance devices such as electromagnetic or optical, which can drive along the prescribed guiding path. [0003] At present, due to the rapid development of the logistics industry, in the logistics industry, the frequency of use of AGV cars is becoming more and more popular. Through the automatic driving of the AGV trolley, the automatic driving reaches the destination, reducing the number of operators. During the automatic driving process of the AGV car, it usually detects signals through infrared rays or other sensors to avoid collisions between the AGV cars or other objects. However, at the intersection of the guidance route, the sensor f...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, at the intersection of the guidance route, the sensor field of view of the AGV car is poor, and the AGV cars will not detect each other, or the detection data will be slow, resulting in collisions between the AGV cars, causing damage to the AGV cars, and affecting the AGV cars service life

Moreover, in the process of manufacturing AGV cars, the cost of accurate infrared sensors or other detection equipment is relatively high, resulting in a serious increase in the cost of AGV cars

[0004] It can be seen that the cost of the AGV car in the prior art is relatively high, and the data detection is prone to inaccurate or untimely detection at the intersection of the guidance route, resulting in the defect of the AGV car collision
