Steering wheel connecting device for AGV (automatic guided vehicle)

Abstract

The invention discloses a steering wheel connecting device for an AGV (automatic guided vehicle). The steering wheel connecting device comprises an upper mounting plate, a lower mounting plate, a guide mechanism, a height adjusting bolt and an elastic element, wherein the guide mechanism is connected with the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate and used for functioning in guiding, the height adjusting bolt is used for connecting the upper mounting plate with the lower mounting plate and can adjust the distance between the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate, and theelastic element is arranged between the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate and applies action force to the upper mounting plate. The steering wheel connecting device for the AGV is wide in applicable range, good in complex environment adaptability, simple and compact in structure, high in bearing capacity and convenient to mount and maintain, and the space of the AGV can be sufficiently used.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automatic carrying, in particular, the invention relates to a steering wheel connecting device for an AGV trolley. Background technique [0002] AGV trolley is the abbreviation of automatic guided transport vehicle, which is equipped with automatic guiding devices such as electromagnetic or photoelectric, can automatically drive along the prescribed guiding path, and has programming and mode selection devices, safety protection and various transfer functions. robot. AGV trolley has the characteristics of high degree of automation, safety and flexibility. [0003] In recent years, with the progress of society and the increase of labor costs, Chinese factories have begun to develop in the field of logistics automation and automatic assembly. Therefore, the demand for AGV cars is increasing. At present, they are widely used in automated production and storage system industries such as automobile manufacturi...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] At present, there are two ways to install the steering wheel device of the AGV trolley. One is to directly consolidate the steering wheel device on the body of the AGV trolley, and use the steering wheel device as one of the main supporting structures of the AGV car body. The advantage of this method is that it is fully The space of the AGV car body is saved, which reduces the overall size of the AGV car body. The disadvantage is that when the AGV car has a large error in the welding process of the car body or the working road environment is poor, the four wheels (including the steering wheel) of the AGV car cannot touch the ground at the same time, resulting in AGV The load capacity of the trolley is insufficient, and the steering wheel is overloaded; the other is to fix the steering wheel device on the AGV body through a shock absorbing device, and install an auxiliary supporting caster next to it. The advantage of this method is that the steering wheel device has shock absorption performance and can adapt to All kinds of complex working roads, and the load support capacity is large, the disadvantage is that an auxiliary supporting caster must be installed next to the steering wheel device of this method, otherwise, when the AGV trolley runs with no load and load, the body pressure on the steering wheel is different. This increases the overall size of the car body, making the use of the steering wheel AGV smaller
