Description

This application claims priority from European Patent Application No. 24 221 528.3, filed on 19 December 2024, the content of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The invention relates to an automated guided vehicle for handling loads, in particular precast concrete parts, comprising - an essentially U-shaped main body having two longitudinal beams, - at least one drive means that can be brought into contact with an underlying surface, which is drivable via at least one drive unit to move the automated guided vehicle, wherein the at least one drive means and the at least one drive unit are arranged on and / or in the main body, and - a first receptacle device for accommodating a first load, preferably an inloader pallet, between the two longitudinal beams, and a method for operating such an automated guided vehicle. Vehicles which are used to handle loads, for example, precast concrete parts, usually within company premises, are referred to as automated guided vehicles (AVG), in particular in the precast concrete part industry. The loads are moved back and forth, for example, between a production hall, a warehouse, and a loading station. Usually, multiple automated guided vehicles or a fleet of automated guided vehicles are used in this case. Such automated guided vehicles are already known from the prior art, for example from EP 3 20    342 636 A1. Such an automated guided vehicle can receive a load between its longitudinal beams, which load is arranged on an inloader pallet. A disadvantage of the prior art is that only inloader pallets can be handled. In the precast concrete part industry in particular, however, swap bodies are often also used to accommodate loads in the form of precast concrete parts. In order to be able to handle these, in the prior art 25 separate automated guided vehicles are required, which are suitable for handling swap bodies. Accordingly, two different automated guided vehicles are currently required in order to be able to handle the conventional means for accommodating loads. 15 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 Some embodiments are intended to at least partially remedy the disadvantages described above and to specify an automated guided vehicle improved in relation to the prior art. In addition, a method for operating such an automated guided vehicle is also to be specified. It is an object of the present invention to substantially overcome or at least ameliorate one or more of the above disadvantages. This object is achieved by the features of the independent claims 1 and 14. One aspect of the present disclosure provides an automated guided vehicle for handling loads, in particular precast concrete parts, comprising -   an essentially U-shaped main body having two longitudinal beams, -    at least one drive means that can be brought into contact with an underlying surface, which is drivable via at least one drive unit to move the automated guided vehicle, wherein the at least one drive means and the at least one drive unit are arranged on and / or in the main body, and - a first receptacle device for accommodating a first load, preferably an inloader pallet, between the two longitudinal beams, characterized in that the automated guided vehicle has a second receptacle device, which is different from the first receptacle device, for accommodating a second load, preferably a swap body, on an upper side of the two longitudinal beams. Another aspect of the present disclosure provides a method for operating an automated guided vehicle for handling loads, in particular precast concrete parts, as claimed in any one of the 20 preceding claims, wherein in a first operating state a first load is accommodated via the first receptacle device between the two longitudinal beams and in a second operating state a second load is accommodated via the second receptacle device on the upper side of the two longitudinal beams by the automated guided vehicle. According to the invention, in the case of an automated guided vehicle as described above, it 25 is therefore provided that the automated guided vehicle has a second receptacle device, which is different from the first receptacle device, for accommodating a second load, preferably a swap body, on an upper side of the two longitudinal beams. 15 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 A second load, which can be arranged on a swap body, can therefore be handled using the same automated guided vehicle via the second receptacle device. An automated guided vehicle according to the invention therefore has a dual function in that it can handle two different types of loads. In other words, the first receptacle device is designed to accommodate a load, preferably an inloader pallet, between the two longitudinal beams. The second receptacle device is designed to accommodate a second load, preferably a swap body, on an upper side of the two longitudinal beams. With respect to a method according to the invention, it is provided that in a first operating state a first load is accommodated via the first receptacle device between the two longitudinal beams and in a second operating state a second load is accommodated via the second receptacle device on the upper side of the two longitudinal beams by the automated guided vehicle. Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are defined in the dependent claims. Advantageously, it can be provided that the first receptacle device comprises two supporting elements for supporting a first load, wherein one supporting element is arranged and / or formed on each one of the two longitudinal beams, preferably on an inner side of the respective longitudinal beam facing toward the respective other longitudinal beam. This represents a simple option for accommodating a first load, in particular an inloader pallet, between the two longitudinal beams. The load can rest on the support elements. The support elements can be designed in the form of rails. This represents a simple and cost-20 effective implementation of support elements. In particular, the support elements can also protrude over the respective longitudinal beam in the direction of the respective other longitudinal beam. Preferably, it can also be provided that the two support elements each extend over at least 90% of a length of the two longitudinal beams. 25        These features, alone or in combination with each other, can ensure a safe and stable accommodation of the first load. According to a further exemplary embodiment, it can be provided that the second receptacle 15 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 device has at least two support surfaces for supporting a second load, wherein one of the at least two support surfaces is formed and / or arranged on the upper side of one of the two longitudinal beams and another of the at least two support surfaces is formed and / or arranged on the upper side of the other of the two longitudinal beams. As a result, it is possible to accommodate a second load in a simple manner using the automated guided vehicle. The second load then rests on the support surfaces on the two longitudinal beams. It is also conceivable that further support surfaces are provided which are arranged and / or formed on parts of the base body which are different from the longitudinal beams. Furthermore, it can also be provided that the two support surfaces are planar and / or rectangular. A planar design of the support surfaces ensures that the second load rests on the automated guided vehicle over as large an area as possible, in particular if the second load is a swap body or is arranged on a swap body. A rectangular support surface represents a simple implementation of a support surface. However, it is also conceivable for the support surface to have depressions. It can preferably be provided that the maximum vertical extension of the longitudinal beams, preferably of the automated guided vehicle, is delimited upwards in an operating position of the automated guided vehicle by the two support surfaces. In other words, the support surfaces form the highest point of the longitudinal beams, preferably of the automated guided vehicle. 20       It can thus be ensured that the longitudinal beams, and in the preferred embodiment variant the entire automated guided vehicle, can be driven completely below a second load and in particular below a swap body. This makes it considerably easier to accommodate a second load. It can preferably be provided that the maximum vertical extension of the longitudinal beams, preferably of the automated guided vehicle, is at least temporarily less than 800 mm. 25        Swap bodies usually have a set-down height (i.e. a height between an underlying surface and a lower edge of the swap body) of 800 mm, 1000 mm, or 1200 mm. If the maximum vertical 15 extension of the longitudinal beams, preferably of the automated guided vehicle, is at least 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 temporarily less than 800 mm, it can be ensured that all types of swap bodies can be accommodated by the automated guided vehicle. Preferably, it is furthermore provided that the automated guided vehicle comprises at least one lifting device, via which the two longitudinal beams, preferably the base body, are movable in a direction orthogonal to the upper side of the two longitudinal beams. As a result, at least the longitudinal beams can therefore be raised and lowered, as a result of which loads can be picked up and set down in a simple manner. The automated guided vehicle can therefore, for example, be driven under a swap body in a lowered state and then raised via the lifting device so that the swap body rests on the upper side of the two load beams. The automated guided vehicle can then be moved together with the swap body and the load thus picked up. The swap body can then be put down at the destination by lowering the two load beams or the base body. It behaves similarly when picking up an inloader pallet. Here, the inloader pallet can be positioned between the two longitudinal beams by moving the automated guided vehicle. By raising the two longitudinal beams or the base body, the inloader pallet then rests on the contact elements and can be moved together with a load located thereon. It can be provided that a maximum lift of the two longitudinal beams, preferably of the base body, achievable via the lifting device is between 100 mm and 400 mm, preferably between 150 mm and 200 mm, particularly preferably 170 mm. 20       Advantageously, it can be provided that the at least one drive means comprises a wheel. This represents a simple option for implementing a drive means. Advantageously, it can be provided that the automated guided vehicle comprises at least one bearing device for mounting the at least one drive means. The at least one drive means can therefore be mounted on the base body via the bearing device. 25       In particular, the at least one drive means can be arranged on at least one of the two longitudinal beams. According to an advantageous exemplary embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that 15 the at least one lifting device is part of the at least one bearing device. 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 This means that at least one lifting device can be implemented in an extremely space-saving manner. It can also be provided that the at least one drive means is mounted so as to be pivotable, preferably by at least 90°, via the at least one bearing device. The direction of travel of the automated guided vehicle can be controlled by pivoting the drive means. In particular, an omnidirectional drive of the automated guided vehicle can be implemented as a result. In other words, the automated guided vehicle can therefore be moved both in its longitudinal direction and in its transverse direction, as a result of which the automated guided vehicle can also be used in constricted (production) environments. In addition, the automated guided vehicle can move freely in space without being bound to a rail system or the like, for example. This increases the flexibility of the automated guided vehicle and saves costs for the erection of a rail system. Furthermore, it can be provided that the at least one bearing device comprises an electric motor by means of which the at least one drive means is pivotable. Thus, the alignment of the at least one drive means can be easily controlled and / or regulated. Advantageously, it can be provided that the at least one drive unit is part of the at least one bearing device. 20       Advantageously, the drive unit can comprise an electric hub motor. These features, alone or in combination with one another, contribute to the implementation of a drive unit that saves as much space as possible. It can be particularly preferably provided that at least four drive means, at least four drive units, at least four bearing devices, and / or at least four lifting devices are provided in the automated 25 guided vehicle. The most stable possible design of the automated guided vehicle can thus be achieved. It can also be provided that the at least one lifting device has at least one spindle, at least one 15 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 spindle nut, which is in threaded engagement with the at least one spindle, and at least one electric motor, via which the at least one spindle nut can be driven. This represents a space-saving and simple option for implementing a lifting device. It can also be provided that the at least one spindle is connected to the base body and that the at least one spindle nut is rotatably mounted on the at least one bearing device. By rotating the spindle nut, the base body can therefore be moved relative to the bearing device and the base body or the longitudinal beams can thus be raised or lowered. It can preferably be provided that the bearing device comprises a guide device via which the bearing device can be guided in this direction when the two longitudinal beams, preferably the base body, are moved in a direction orthogonal to the upper side of the two longitudinal beams. It can be particularly preferably provided that the guide device is arranged within the at least one spindle In particular, the guide device can comprise at least one polygonal shaft, a toothed shaft, and / or a spline shaft, which is connected to the bearing device and is arranged in the interior of the at least one spindle. Furthermore, the at least one spindle can have an opening in the longitudinal direction of the spindle, wherein the opening has an inner contour corresponding to the outer contour of the at least one polygonal shaft, toothed shaft, and / or spline shaft. In other words, the guide device can comprise at least one shaft which forms a shaft-hub 20 connection to the spindle via an opening in the at least one spindle, wherein the at least one spindle is movable in a longitudinal direction of the at least one shaft relative to the at least one shaft. As a result, a rotation of the bearing device relative to the at least one spindle, and thus to the base body, during the rotation of the spindle nut can be prevented. According to a further exemplary embodiment, the automated guided vehicle can comprise at 25 least one accumulator via which the drive unit, the electric motor for pivoting the drive means, and / or the electric motor for driving the spindle nut can be supplied with electrical energy. It can also be provided that the automated guided vehicle has a charging interface which can 15 be coupled to a charging station. 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 The at least one accumulator can be charged via such a charging interface if it is connected to the charging station. The charging interface can be, for example, a cable, electrical contacts on the automated guided vehicle, and / or a coil for inductive charging. It can preferably be provided that the automated guided vehicle is controllable via a remote control and / or wherein the automated guided vehicle is operable in an automated manner, preferably autonomously. A remote control allows a user to operate the automated guided vehicle manually. The remote control can preferably be designed as a radio remote control. Automated, preferably autonomous, operation of the automated guided vehicle is advantageous in that the automated guided vehicle can operate independently and without permanent supervision by a user. As a result, a person otherwise designated as the user can perform other tasks, which results in cost savings. Advantageously, both alternatives are provided. The automated guided vehicle can also comprise the means required for implementing these features, for example: sensors for detecting the surroundings or obstacles, navigation systems, radio receivers and transmitters, computing units for controlling and / or regulating the automated guided vehicle. 20        In particular, at least one lidar sensor, at least one gyro sensor, and / or at least one camera can be provided. Advantageously, all of these sensors are provided. This can ensure correspondingly accurate and safe operation of the automated guided vehicle even in dirty environments, for example, in a concrete plant. 25       The computing unit can be designed, for example, as a programmable logic controller (PLC). According to a further exemplary embodiment, it can be provided that the automated guided vehicle has a payload of at least 15 t, preferably of at least 30 t. 15 Further details and advantages of the invention are explained in more detail hereinafter based 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 15 on the description of the figures with reference to the drawings. In the figures: Figures 1A-B show schematic perspective views of an automated guided vehicle, Figure 2A shows a schematic top view of the automated guided vehicle, Figure 2B shows section A-A of Figure 2A, Figures 3A-B show schematic side views of the automated guided vehicle in different positions, Figures 4A-B show schematic front views of the automated guided vehicle in different operating states, and Figures 5A-C show different schematic views of a bearing device in different positions. Figure 1A shows a schematic perspective view of an automated guided vehicle 1 from above, Figure 1B shows the automated guided vehicle from below. It can be seen that the automated guided vehicle 1 has an essentially U-shaped base body 2. In this exemplary embodiment, the base body 2 defines the outer contour of the automated guided vehicle 2, so that the automated guided vehicle itself is also U-shaped. The base body comprises two longitudinal beams 3 which are connected to one another via a cross beam 16. A first receptacle device 6 for accommodating a first load 7 and a second receptacle device 9 for accommodating a second load 10 are provided. 20       The first receptacle device 6 comprises two contact elements 6a, which are each arranged on an inner side 4a of the longitudinal beams 3 and protrude beyond the inner side 3a in the direction of the respective other longitudinal beam 3. The second receptacle device 9 comprises two support surfaces 9a which are formed on the upper sides 12 of the longitudinal beams 3. The support surfaces are planar and rectangular. 25       Both the support elements 6a and the support surfaces 9a extend over more than 90% of a length of the longitudinal beams 3. It can also be seen that the automated guided vehicle has four drive means 4 formed as wheels, 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 wherein each two of the drive means are mounted on one of the two longitudinal beams 3. Computing units, accumulators, sensors, and the like can be arranged in the cross beam 16. In order to ensure access to the interior of the cross beam 16, it can have a removable cover 16a. The automated guided vehicle 1 can comprise a plurality of sensors 24, which can be arranged at different points on the automated guided vehicle 1. For example, sensors 24 can be seen on the ends of the longitudinal beams 3 and on the sides of the longitudinal beams 3. Sensors 24 which cannot be seen are also provided around the area of the cross beam 16. These can be, for example, lidar sensors, gyro sensors, and / or cameras. Furthermore, a remote control 1 in the form of a radio remote control can also be seen in this exemplary embodiment, by means of which a user can operate the automated guided vehicle 1. Alternatively or additionally thereto, however, it can also be provided that the automated guided vehicle 1 is operable in an automated manner, preferably autonomously. Multiple automated guided vehicles can also be provided. In this case, multiple automated guided vehicles can also be controlled by the remote control 1 and / or operated in an automated manner, preferably autonomously. Figure 2A shows a schematic top view of the automated guided vehicle 1 and Figure 2B shows section A-A of Figure 2A. It can be seen that the maximum vertical extension of the longitudinal beams 3, in this exemplary embodiment of the automated guided vehicle 1, is delimited upwards in an operating 20 position of the automated guided vehicle 1 by the at least two support surfaces 9a. In other words, the support surfaces 9a form the highest point of the automated guided vehicle 1. Thus, the automated guided vehicle 1 can drive completely under a second load 10, in particular under a swap body 11, which simplifies the handling of swap bodies 11. It can be seen that the upper side of the cross beam 16 is bevelled, but it is also conceivable 25 that a further support surface 9 is formed or arranged on the upper side of the cross beam 16, on which a second load 10 can also rest. Furthermore, two of four bearing devices 14 can be seen, via which the drive means 4 are 15 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 mounted on the longitudinal beams 3. The bearing devices 14 each comprise a lifting device 13 for moving the longitudinal beams 3 or the base body 2 in a direction orthogonal to the upper side 12 or the support surfaces 9a. In addition, the bearing device 13 also comprises a drive unit 5. In this exemplary embodiment, the drive unit 5 is designed as an electric hub motor. Figures 3A and 3B show schematic side views of the automated guided vehicle 1 in different positions. In the position of Figure 3A, the base body 2 of the automated guided vehicle 1 is in a lowered position. In this position, the automated guided vehicle 1 can be driven under a second load 10 or a first load 7 can be positioned between the two longitudinal beams 3. The longitudinal beams 3 or the base body 2 can be raised via the lifting device 13 in order to pick up the first load 7 or the second load 10. In this raised position of Figure 3B, the automated guided vehicle 1 can then be moved together with the first load 7 or the second load 10. To put down the first load 7 or the second load 10 at a destination, the longitudinal beams 3 or the base body 2 are lowered back into the position of Figure 3A. Figures 4A and 4B show schematic front views of the automated guided vehicle 1 in different operating states. Figure 4A shows a first operating state in which a first load 7 is accommodated by the first receptacle device 6 between the longitudinal beams 3. The first load 7 is composed of an inloader pallet 8 and three precast concrete parts 100 20 arranged on the inloader pallet 8. The receptacle elements 6a are arranged within a lateral groove of the inloader pallet 8, wherein the inloader pallet rests with an upper side wall of the groove on the contact elements 8. Figure 4B shows a second operating state in which a second load 10 is accommodated by the second receptacle device 9 on the upper side 12 of the longitudinal beams 3. 25       The second load 9 is composed of a swap body 11 and a precast concrete part 100 arranged on the swap body 11. The supports 11a of the swap body 11 do not have to be folded in during 15 transport using the automated guided vehicle 1. The swap body 11 rests on the support surfaces 9a 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 on the upper side 12 of the longitudinal beams 3 and is thus accommodated by the automated guided vehicle 1. The double function of the automated guided vehicle 1 can be clearly seen from Figures 4A and 4B. Figures 5A to 5C show different schematic views of a bearing device 14 in different positions. In Figure 5A, the lifting device 13 is in a lowered position, in Figure 5B in a raised position. Figure 5C shows a schematic top view of the bearing device 14. The bearing device 14 comprises a pivoting part 22 in which the drive means 4 is rotatably mounted in the form of a wheel via the drive unit 5 designed as a hub motor. The pivoting part 22 is mounted on a stationary part 23 of the bearing device 14 so as to be pivotable around a vertical axis. The pivoting part 22 can be pivoted around a vertical axis relative to the stationary part 23 via an electric motor 21. As a result, a pivotable mounting of the drive means 4 is possible. The drive means 4 can therefore be aligned via pivoting the pivoting part 22 in a direction in which the automated guided vehicle 1 is to be moved. The automated guided vehicle 1 can then be moved in said direction via the drive unit 5. Thus, in this exemplary embodiment, the automated guided vehicle 1 has an omnidirectional drive. The maximum swivel angle of the pivoting part 22 can advantageously be at least 90°. However, larger (and in principle also smaller) maximum pivot angles are conceivable. 20       The lifting device 13 comprises a spindle 17 and a spindle nut 18 which is in threaded engagement with the spindle 17. The spindle 17 is connected at one end to the respective longitudinal beam 3 (see also Figure 2B). The spindle nut 18 is rotatably mounted on the stationary part 23 via a flange 18a. The spindle nut 18 can be driven, i.e. rotated, via an electric motor 20. When the spindle nut 18 is rotated, the 25 spindle 17 moves relative to the bearing device 14, as a result of which a movement of the longitudinal beams 3 or the base body 2 in a direction orthogonal to the support surfaces 9a can be 15 implemented. The longitudinal beams 3 or the base body 2 can therefore be raised and lowered. 2025283593   19 Dec 2025 A guide device 25 is provided so that the bearing device 14 does not also rotate when the spindle nut 18 is rotated. This is arranged in the interior of the spindle 17, which results in an extremely small space requirement. The guide device 25 comprises a shaft 19, which can be designed, for example, as at least one polygonal shaft, a toothed shaft, and / or a spline shaft, which is connected to the bearing device and is arranged in the interior of the spindle 17. In the present exemplary embodiment, the shaft 19 is designed as a spline shaft. The shaft 19 is connected in a rotationally-fixed manner to the stationary part 23 of the bearing device 14. The spindle 17 comprises an opening in the longitudinal direction of the spindle 17, wherein the opening has an inner contour corresponding to the outer contour of the shaft 19. The shaft 19 is therefore guided within the spindle 17 in a rotationally-fixed manner, wherein a movement in the longitudinal direction of the spindle 17 is possible. Thus, the stationary part 23 of the bearing device 14 is also arranged in a rotationally-fixed manner with respect to the spindle 17, and thus the longitudinal beams 3 or the base body 2, wherein a movement in the longitudinal direction of the spindle 17 is possible. This means that it is still possible to raise and lower the longitudinal beams 3 or the base body 2.
