Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The AGV body 10 is provided with a connection module 40. The working module 20 is provided above the AGV, and the working module 20 is provided with a locking module 30. The locking module 30 cooperates with the connection module 40 to lock, and the connection and separation of the connection module 40 and the locking module 40 are used to realize the detachable connection between the AGV body 10 and the working module 20.
[0034] The above-mentioned modular AGV includes an AGV body 10 and a working module 20. The AGV body 10 is used to drive the working module 20 to move, and the working module 20 is used to complete the specified work task. The connection and separation of the connecting module 40 and the locking module 40 are used to realize the detachable connection between the AGV body 10 and the working module 20, and the AGV functional structure is modularized, so that the working modules 20 with different functions can be switched, that is, by detachably connecting the working modules 20 with different functions to the AGV body 10 to complete different work tasks, the number of AGV bodies 10 is effectively reduced, which is conducive to reducing costs and effectively reducing the occupation of the working space.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The working module 20 can be one of a single-arm module 21, a double-arm module 22, a roller module 23 and a traction module 24, and the single-arm module 21 is a single-arm manipulator, and the double-arm module 22 is a double-arm manipulator. It should be noted that a locking module 30 is provided on the top of the single-arm module 21, the double-arm module 22, the roller module 23 and the traction module 24.
[0036] There are multiple connection modules 40, which are spaced apart on the top of the AGV body 10; there are multiple locking modules 30, which are spaced apart on the bottom of the working module 20, and the locking modules 30 are locked one-to-one with the connection modules 40. By providing multiple locking modules 30 and multiple connection modules 40, and locking multiple locking modules 30 with multiple connection modules 40 one-to-one, the stability of the connection between the working module 20 and the AGV body 10 is effectively improved.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 Further, an AGV top plate 11 is provided on the top of the AGV body 10, and specifically, the AGV top plate 11 is screwed to the top of the AGV body 10. A plurality of connection modules 40 are installed on the AGV top plate 23. A module bottom plate 25 is provided on the bottom of the working module 20, and specifically, the module bottom plate 25 is screwed to the bottom of the working module 20. A plurality of locking modules 30 are installed on the module bottom plate 25. During assembly, a plurality of connection modules 40 are first installed on the AGV top plate 23, and then the AGV top plate 23 is installed on the top of the AGV body 10, and a plurality of locking modules 30 are first installed on the module bottom plate 25, and then the module bottom plate 25 is installed on the bottom of the working module 20. It can be understood that by modularizing multiple connection modules 40 and the AGV top plate 11 and then assembling them onto the AGV body 10, and by modularizing multiple locking modules 30 and the module bottom plate 25 and then assembling them onto the working module 20, the assembly is convenient and efficient.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 6 The locking module 30 includes a male seat 31 and a locking mechanism 32 disposed on the male seat 31. The male seat 31 is fixedly embedded in the module bottom plate 21 and is screwed to the module bottom plate 21. The connecting module 40 includes a female seat 41 and a buckle block 42. The female seat 41 is fixedly embedded in the AGV top plate 11 and is screwed to the AGV top plate 11. The female seat 41 is provided with a slot 411 plugged with the male seat 31. The buckle block 42 is disposed on the inner side wall of the slot 411. The buckle block 42 is used to buckle the locking mechanism 32. Specifically, during the process of installing the working module 20 on the AGV body 10, one end of the male seat 31 is inserted into the slot 411 of the female seat 41, and the locking mechanism 32 is buckled with the buckle block 42, so that the locking module 30 and the connecting module 40 are locked together, thereby locking the working module 20 on the AGV body 10.
[0039] In this embodiment, the cross-sections of the male seat 31 and the female seat 41 are both circular. Of course, in other embodiments, the cross-sections of the male seat 31 and the female seat 41 can also be other shapes, which can be designed according to needs.
[0040] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8Further, the male seat 31 includes a shell 311 and a convex ring 312 arranged on one end of the shell 311, the convex ring 312 is connected to the shell 311, and a gap 313 is provided on the side wall of the convex ring 312, and the gap 313 runs through the inner and outer sides of the convex ring 312. The locking mechanism 32 includes a cam block 33, the cam block 33 is arranged in the gap 313, and the middle part of the cam block 33 is pivotally connected to the convex ring 312, that is, the cam block 33 can rotate relative to the convex ring 312. A buckle groove 421 is provided on the buckle block 42. When the locking module 30 and the connecting module 40 are in a locked state, the convex ring 312 is inserted into the slot 411, the shell 311 and the female seat 41 are fitted, and one end of the cam block 33 is buckled in the buckle groove 421.
[0041] In order to enhance the locking effect between the locking module 30 and the connecting module 40, there are multiple gaps 313, multiple cam blocks 33, multiple buckle blocks 42, multiple cam blocks 33 are respectively arranged in the gaps 313 and pivotally connected with the convex ring 313, multiple buckle blocks 42 are arranged at intervals on the inner side wall of the slot 411, and one end of the multiple cam blocks 33 is respectively buckled with the buckle grooves 421 on the multiple buckle blocks 42. Specifically in this embodiment, there are two gaps 313, two gaps 313 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the convex ring 313, two cam blocks 33 are respectively arranged in the gaps 313 and pivotally connected with the convex ring 313, and there are also two buckle blocks 42, two buckle blocks 42 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the slot 411, and one end of the two cam blocks 33 is respectively buckled into the buckle grooves 421 on the two buckle blocks 42.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the cam block 33 is arranged in an L shape. Specifically, the cam block 33 includes a rotating portion 331, a swinging portion 332 connected to the rotating portion 331, and a buckling portion 333 connected to the rotating portion 331. The rotating portion 331 is arranged in the gap 313 and is pivotally connected to the convex ring 312. The swinging portion 332 and the buckling portion 333 are respectively located at opposite ends of the rotating portion 331, that is, the swinging portion 332, the rotating portion 331 and the buckling portion 333 form an L-shaped structure. The swinging portion 332 extends into the convex ring 312. When the locking module 30 and the connecting module 40 are in a locked state, the buckling portion 333 extends to the outside of the convex ring 312 and buckles in the buckle groove 421. When the locking module 30 and the connecting module 40 are in an unlocked state, the buckling portion 333 is located in the gap 313. In this embodiment, the rotating portion 331, the swinging portion 332 and the buckling portion 333 are integrally formed.
[0043] In some embodiments, the locking mechanism 32 further includes an actuating assembly 34 for driving the cam block 33 to rotate. Specifically, the actuating assembly 34 is disposed in the housing 311, and one end of the actuating assembly 34 extends into the convex ring 312. The other end of the cam block 33 extends into the convex ring 312 and is movably connected to the actuating assembly 34. Specifically, the swinging portion 332 of the cam block 33 is movably connected to the actuating assembly 34. It can be understood that during the locking process, the actuating assembly 34 drives the swinging portion 332 to move, thereby driving the rotating portion 331 to rotate, thereby driving the buckling portion 333 to extend out of the convex ring 312 and buckle into the buckle groove 421.
[0044] Further, the actuating assembly 34 includes a lifting driving member 341 and a movable block 342 connected to the lifting driving member 341, one end of the movable block 342 is provided with a slot 347, the slot 347 is arranged along the circumference of the movable block 342, and the end of the movable block 342 provided with the slot 347 is located in the convex ring 312. The end of the cam block 33 extending into the convex ring 312 is buckled into the slot 347, that is, the swinging portion 332 is movably buckled into the slot 347. It can be understood that when the lifting driving member 341 drives the movable block 342 to make the swinging portion 332 move up and down, the rotating portion 331 rotates counterclockwise or clockwise relative to the convex ring 312, so that the buckling portion 333 of the cam block 33 rotates to the outside of the convex ring 312 and buckles into the buckling slot 421, or the buckling portion 333 of the cam block 33 is separated from the buckling slot 421 and rotated into the gap 313.
[0045] The lifting drive member 341 includes a rotary driver 343 disposed in the housing 311 and a screw rod 344 connected to the rotary driver. The rotary driver 343 is a motor. One end of the screw rod 344 extends into the convex ring 312. The movable block 342 is sleeved on the screw rod 344 and is threadedly connected to the screw rod 344. One end of the movable block 342 away from the slot 347 is movably inserted into the housing 311. A stopper 314 is disposed in the housing 311. The stopper 314 is disposed corresponding to the movable block 342. The stopper 314 is used to limit the rotation of the movable block 342. Therefore, when the rotary driver 343 drives the screw rod 344 to rotate, the movable block 342 has a tendency to rotate synchronously with the screw rod 344. However, due to the restriction of the stopper 314 on the movable block 342, the movable block 342 cannot rotate, so that the movable block 342 moves up and down along the axial direction of the screw rod 344, thereby driving the cam block 33 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 7 and Fig. 9 Specifically, a limit plate 345 is provided at one end of the movable block 342 away from the slot 347, and the limit plate 345 has straight edges 346 on opposite sides. Fig. 9There are two stop blocks 314, which are arranged on the bottom of the shell 311, and the stop blocks 314 are respectively in contact with the straight edges 346 of the limit plate 345. The limit plate 345 is restricted by the stop blocks 314 so that the limit plate 345 cannot rotate. Even if the movable block 342 cannot rotate with the screw rod 344, the rotational motion is converted into linear motion, so that the movable block 342 moves up and down along the axial direction of the screw rod 344.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, a locating pin 35 is provided on the top of the male seat 31, and a locating hole 412 is provided on the female seat 41, and the locating pin 35 is correspondingly plugged into the locating hole 412. Specifically, the locating pin 35 is provided on one end of the shell 311 facing the female seat 41. It can be understood that when the locking module 30 and the working module 20 are in a locked state, the bottom of the shell 311 fits with the top of the female seat 41, and the locating pin 35 is inserted into the corresponding locating hole 412, which effectively improves the stability of the locking between the locking module 30 and the connecting module 40. Further, the number of the locating pins 35 is two, and the two locating pins 35 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the bottom of the shell 311, that is, the two locating pins 35 are arranged at intervals around the convex ring 312. The number of the locating holes 412 is two, and the two locating holes 412 are relatively arranged on opposite sides of the top of the female seat 41.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 7 The locking module 30 further includes a circuit board 36, which is disposed on the male socket 31. Specifically, the male socket 31 further includes an annular plate 315 and a mounting plate 316. The annular plate 315 is disposed on one end of the housing 311 away from the convex ring 312. The circuit board 36 is disposed in the annular plate 315, and the mounting plate 316 covers one end of the annular plate 315 away from the housing 311. The circuit board 36 is connected to the rotary driver 343 by telecommunication. The circuit board 36 is also used to connect to the remote controller signal, that is, the remote controller remotely sends a signal to the circuit board 36, and the circuit board 36 controls the operation of the actuating assembly 34 according to the signal.
[0049] In order to improve the degree of automation, the working modules 20 with different functions are automatically switched on the automatic changing table, that is, the working modules 20 with different functions are connected to the AGV body 10 through the automatic changing table.
[0050] The specific steps are as follows:
[0051] 1. When the AGV body 10 receives the instruction to switch the working module 20, the AGV body 10 moves to the position of the automatic replacement station, and the connection module 40 on the AGV body 10 is unlocked from the locking module 30 on the working module 20 to be removed. Figure 8Taking the left cam block 33 as an example, the lifting drive member 341 drives the movable block 342 to descend. When the movable block 342 descends, it drives the swinging portion 332 to descend, and the rotating portion 331 rotates clockwise, so that the buckling portion 333 rises. In this way, the buckling portion 333 disengages from the buckling groove 421 and moves into the gap 313. At this time, the locking module 30 and the working module 20 are in an unlocked state.
[0052] 2. The automatic replacement station removes the working module 20 to be removed from the AGV body 10. Figure 6 Specifically, the automatic change station grabs the working module 20 to be removed and rises, so that the convex ring 313 is disengaged from the slot 411, and the positioning pin 35 is disengaged from the positioning hole 412, and then the automatic change station transfers the working module 20 from the AGV body 10.
[0053] 3. The automatic changing table moves the working module 20 to be installed to the top of the AGV body 10, and senses the connection module 40 on the AGV body 10 and the locking module 30 on the working module 20 through multiple inductive sensors on the automatic changing table, so that the connection module 40 on the AGV body 10 and the locking module 30 on the working module 20 correspond one to one.
[0054] 3. The automatic change platform drives the working module 20 to be installed to descend, and the connection module 40 on the AGV body 10 is locked with the locking module 30 on the working module 20 to be installed, so that the working module 20 is firmly installed on the top of the AGV body 10. Figure 7 Specifically, the automatic changing table drives the working module 20 to be installed to be close to the AGV body 10 below until the convex ring 312 of the male seat 31 is inserted into the corresponding slot 411 of the female seat 41, the shell 311 of the male seat 31 fits with the female seat 41, and the module bottom plate 25 on the working module 20 to be installed fits with the AGV top plate 11 of the AGV body 10.
[0055] 4. The lifting drive member 341 drives the movable block 342 to rise. When the movable block 342 rises, it drives the swinging part 332 to rise, and the rotating part 331 rotates counterclockwise, so that the buckling part 333 falls. In this way, the buckling part 333 moves to the outside of the convex ring 312 and buckles into the buckle groove 421, so that the locking module 30 and the working module 20 are locked.
[0056] It should be noted that the automatic change table can be a manipulator, or it can be composed of a horizontal drive mechanism, a longitudinal drive mechanism and a lifting drive mechanism. In addition, in order to achieve the cooperation between the AGV body 10 and the working module 20 to complete the work task, real-time data transmission is required between the AGV body 10 and the working module 20, so different docking interfaces are provided for data transmission, such as power interface, I / O interface, HDMI interface, network port interface and PIN pin, so as to ensure normal communication between the AGV body 10 and the working module 20 when the modular AGV is working.
[0057] The modular AGV of the present invention includes an AGV body 10 and a working module 20. The AGV body 10 is used to drive the working module 20 to move, and the working module 20 is used to complete the specified work task. The connection and separation of the connecting module 40 and the locking module 40 are used to realize the detachable connection between the AGV body 10 and the working module 20, and the AGV functional structure is modularized, so that the working modules 20 with different functions can be switched, that is, by detachably connecting the working modules 20 with different functions to the AGV body 10 to complete different work tasks, the number of AGV bodies 10 is effectively reduced, which is beneficial to reducing costs and effectively reducing the occupation of the working space.
[0058] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0059] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
