Traction and self-propelled dual-purpose AGV and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a traction and self-propelled dual-purpose AGV and a control method thereof, and belongs to the field of industrial logistics. The traction and self-propelled dual-purpose AGVand the control method thereof can achieve two working modes and solve the problems of independent self-propelled large-tonnage AGV equipment and semi-trailer platforms. The traction and self-propelled dual-purpose AGV comprises a semitrailer platform and an omni-directional mobile platform based on Mecanum wheels, and can finish switching of the self-propelled mode and the traction mode. In the self-propelled mode, the AGV is the same as a common AGV, moves in an omni-directional mode, uses vehicle-mounted storage battery power, and can be manually operated or automatically navigated to complete operation and the like; and in the traction mode, the AGV can be connected with a standard semi-trailer tractor, can be unloaded to other places, or is loaded to be used as a common semitrailer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of industrial logistics, and in particular relates to a dual-purpose traction and self-propelled AGV. Background technique [0002] Most of the AGVs currently used in the field of industrial logistics are self-propelled, that is, they rely on their own power for handling and transition work. Among them, some AGVs have traction operation in emergency mode. When they fail or external conditions do not allow themselves, they can be moved by other equipment or manual towing. When transporting the AGV, special vehicles and hoisting equipment need to be prepared. [0003] In addition, the dispatch and transfer of the general-purpose semi-trailer platform used in the logistics field in a small area requires tractors to realize. For example, the logistics department of a large FMCG company adopts the handover form of the cargo yard: the cargo yard A near the factory is responsible for loading and unloading goods, and there ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. When the AGV needs to be transported, the small-tonnage AGV can be loaded on other vehicles, but the loading work of the large-tonnage AGV is very cumbersome

Although this type of AGV can be directly towed, the ordinary rubber tires or Mecanum wheels installed cannot adapt to the more demanding road surface during long-distance transportation.

[0006] 2. In the practice of small-scale freight yard scheduling, the factory needs to hire professional drivers to complete the work, and the transportation in a small space often requires more personnel to participate

This is not conducive to the need for factories to cut labor costs
