Anti-tipping support devices and autonomous transfer tools

Abstract

An anti-tipping support device includes a body, a support element, and a drive element. The body has a receiving groove. The support element is movably disposed within the body and is movable relative to the body between a receiving position and an extended position. When in the receiving position, the support element is received within the receiving groove; when in the extended position, at least part of the support element extends beyond the receiving groove. The drive element is disposed within the body and is used to drive the support element to switch from the receiving position to the extended position. Furthermore, an autonomous transfer tool has also been proposed.

Claims

1. An anti-tipping support device, comprising: A body having a receiving groove; a support element movably disposed on the body and movable relative to the body between a receiving position and an unfolded position, wherein the support element includes a support portion, the support element being received within the receiving groove in the receiving position, and the support portion extending at least partially out of the receiving groove in the unfolded position. And a driving element disposed on the body, the driving element being used to drive the support element to switch from the receiving position to the unfolded position.

2. The anti-tipping support device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the driving element includes an actuator and a pin portion connected to the actuator, and one end of the pin portion passes through the body and protrudes into the receiving groove.

3. The anti-tipping support device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the support portion has a slot, the pin portion engages with the slot of the support portion, such that the pin portion and the support portion have an engagement relationship, the support portion is located in the receiving position, and the pin portion moves away from the slot of the support portion to release the engagement relationship between the pin portion and the support portion.

4. The anti-tipping support device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the support element includes a shaft portion fixed to the receiving groove, one end of the support portion is pivotally connected to the shaft portion, and the support portion can rotate relative to the receiving groove with the shaft portion as its axis.

5. The anti-tipping support device as described in claim 4, further comprising: An elastic element is disposed on the shaft portion of the support element.

6. The anti-tipping support device as described in claim 4, further comprising: A positioning element is used to fix the support in the unfolded position.

7. The anti-tipping support device as claimed in claim 6, wherein one end of the positioning element is inserted inside the body and the other end of the positioning element is located outside the body, the support element is provided with a positioning hole, and when the support part is in the receiving position, the positioning element is inserted into the positioning hole of the support part.

8. The anti-tipping support device as described in claim 1, further comprising: An auxiliary sensing element is disposed within the main body.

9. An autonomous transfer vehicle, comprising: One machine; A tilt sensing module is installed on the machine. The tilt sensing module is used to detect a tilt state of the machine and to send a trigger signal. And an anti-tipping support device as described in any one of claims 1 to 8, provided on the machine tool, wherein the tilt sensing module is connected to the anti-tipping support device, the anti-tipping support device receives the trigger signal, and the support element moves from the receiving position to the unfolded position, such that the support portion at least partially protrudes from one of the machine tool surfaces.
