Automatic guided vehicle , AGV control system, and AGV control method

Abstract

A control system for an automatic guided vehicle includes a vehicle, a contour-detection module, a position-detection module, and a processing device. The contour-detection module is disposed on the vehicle. The contour-detection module is configured to detect a ceiling and a target object, which is disposed on the ceiling, and to generate a contour signal. The position-detection module is disposed on the vehicle. The position-detection module is configured to detect the position of the vehicle and generate a position signal. The processing device is configured to generate a target mark corresponding to the target object according to the contour signal and the position signal. The processing device is configured to automatically control the carrier to move along a movement path. When the contour-detection module detects the target object, the processing device corrects the movement direction of the vehicle according to the target mark.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention mainly relates to an automatic guided vehicle and its control system and control method. Background technique [0002] In general cargo transfer stations and other occasions, in order to speed up the handling of goods and reduce the cost of manpower, an automatic handling system will be built to carry out the handling of goods. In a prior art, path marks are pasted on the bottom plate, and the automatic transport vehicle can move along the path marks by detecting the path marks. [0003] However, the quantity and location of the goods in the goods transfer station are not fixed, so it is necessary to change the moving path of the automatic transport vehicle from time to time. However, in the prior art, the path signs pasted on the floor need to be removed before a new path sign can be pasted, which makes it difficult to build a moving path. In addition, since the path markings are glued to the floor, the path markings are often damaged ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, the quantity and location of goods in the cargo transfer station are not fixed, so it is necessary to change the moving path of the automatic transport vehicle from time to time

However, in the prior art, it is necessary to remove the path signs pasted on the floor in order to paste new path signs, which makes it difficult to build moving paths.

In addition, since the path markings are glued to the floor, the path markings are often broken and the automatic pallet truck cannot move correctly along the moving path

[0004] Accordingly, although the current automated handling system meets the purpose of its use, it has not yet met the requirements of many other aspects
