Detailed implementation manners

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] This specific embodiment is only an interpretation of the present invention and is not a limitation thereof. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without creative contributions as needed, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present invention, it is protected by the patent law.

[0034] This embodiment relates to a magnetic adsorption combined transportation device, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown. A housing 2 is provided at the bottom of the transportation device. There is a cover opening at the top of the housing 2, and a load-bearing cover 1 is covered on the cover opening. A battery 5 is arranged inside the housing 2, and the battery 5 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 9. An external interface for the external connection assembly 7 to be exposed is opened on the housing 2, and the external connection assembly 7 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 9. The external connection assembly 7 can be connected to a data cable or for charging. The transportation device body further includes: a connection assembly 4, an interlock assembly 3, and a positioning assembly.

[0035] The control circuit board 9 is signal-connected to the server, and the client is signal-connected to the server. The server can send the operation status information of the carrier device to the client in real time, so that the customer can understand the status of the carrier device at any time. The client can also control the carrier device through the server according to the preset algorithm to achieve human-computer interaction. The connection components 4 are electrically connected to the control circuit board 9. There are several connection components 4, and the several connection components 4 are respectively arranged on different sides of the carrier device body. The connection components 4 are for splicing two carrier device bodies. Since the connection components 4 are arranged on different sides, multiple carrier devices can be spliced together, not limited to the splicing of a single straight line type, but also the arrangement and combination of 2×2 or 2×3 and any number can be realized, so that it can be applied to a variety of different transported goods, and the size and shape can be adapted. The interlock component 3 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 9. There are several interlock components 3. The interlock component 3 is used to sense the alignment of the splicing surfaces of two carrier devices. When the splicing surfaces are aligned, the interlock component 3 sends the alignment information to the control circuit board 9, and the control circuit board 9 sends the alignment information to the server. The server prompts the client that the splicing of the two carrier device bodies is completed. The positioning device is electrically connected to the control circuit board 9. The positioning device is used to sense the position information of the carrier device body in real time and send the position information to the control circuit board 9. The control circuit board 9 sends the position information to the server. The server controls the carrier device body to move according to the preset instructions or the instructions sent by the client according to the position information. The interlock component 3 plays a calibration role to prevent the carrier components from being misaligned and causing dislocation or displacement during transportation. After being completely aligned, the coordination ability of the entire carrier device will be greatly improved. In this embodiment, the horizontal cross-section of the carrier device body is octagonal, there are 4 connection components 4, and there are 4 pairs of interlock components 3, and each pair of interlock components 3 is coplanar with the connection component 4. The bottom of the battery 5 is provided with a carrier 51 for placing the battery 5. The battery 5 is a lithium battery.

[0036] A load-bearing cover 1 is detachably arranged on the top of the carrier device body. There are several load-bearing covers 1, and different software and hardware modules are arranged on different load-bearing covers 1, so that different software and hardware modules can be carried for targeted tasks for different application scenarios. In this implementation, the auxiliary modules include: a lifting module, a belt transportation module and a roller transportation module. The lifting module can handle goods at different heights, so as to adapt to shelves at different heights. The belt transportation module and the roller transportation module can be combined with the assembly line to achieve rapid transportation and sorting of goods.

[0037] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the connection component 4 includes: an isolation frame 41, a magnetic part and a screw 42.

[0038] The isolation frame 41 is assembled on the inner side wall of the housing 2. Threaded holes are provided on the isolation frame 41. The magnetic attraction member is arranged on the isolation frame 41, and a perforation corresponding to the threaded hole is provided on the magnetic attraction member. The screw 42 passes through the perforation and the threaded hole, thereby fixing the magnetic attraction member on the inner side wall of the carrier device body. If the magnetic attraction member needs to be replaced, the screw 42 can be pulled out to achieve it, which is convenient and fast. In this embodiment, the magnetic attraction member is a neodymium magnet 43. A hole is provided on the housing 2 for the magnetic attraction member to be exposed, so as to make the magnetic attraction effect better.

[0039] As Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a drive assembly 8 is assembled inside the carrier device body. The drive assembly 8 includes: a driver 81, a motor 82 and an omnidirectional wheel 83.

[0040] The driver 81 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 9, and the motor 82 is electrically connected to the driver 81. The driver 81 is used to control the rotation speed of the motor 82 or adjust the rotation mode. There are 4 motors 82 arranged in a cross pattern, and the output shafts of the motors 82 face the outside of the carrier device. The omnidirectional wheel 83 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 82, and the motor 82 can drive the omnidirectional wheel 83 to move 360° arbitrarily in the horizontal direction. In this embodiment, an opening groove for the omnidirectional wheel 83 to be exposed is provided at the bottom of the carrier device body. The omnidirectional wheel 83 is a double-layer omnidirectional wheel 83, so as to improve the ground gripping ability and prevent slipping. A shock absorption assembly 84 is also connected to one side of the drive assembly 8. The shock absorption assembly 84 is used to improve the carrying capacity of the carrier device, has a certain buffering effect, and also reduces the pressure on the omnidirectional wheel 83, improving the service life of the whole device.

[0041] Preferably, the shock absorption assembly 84 includes: a spring 843, a pressure plate 841, a spring column 842, a spring 843, a box body 844, a bearing hole 845, a fixing plate 846, a first slider 847 and a second slider 848.

[0042] The spring 843 pressing plate 841 is detachably assembled with the inner side wall of the housing 2. A fixing plate 846 is vertically arranged on one side of the spring 843 pressing plate 841. A second slider 848 is arranged on the fixing plate 846. The box body 844 is arranged on the lower side of the spring 843 pressing plate 841. A first slider 847 is arranged on one side of the box body 844 close to the second slider 848. The first slider 847 and the second slider 848 are assembled in a vertically sliding manner. A spring 843 is arranged in the box body 844. One end of the spring 843 is connected to the spring 843 column 842, and the other end is connected to the spring 843 pressing plate 841. The spring 843 column 842 is connected to the box body 844 on the side far from the connection end of the spring 843. A guiding hole for the telescopic movement of the spring 843 column 842 is arranged on the spring 843 pressing plate 841. A bearing hole 845 that does not interfere with the spring 843 column 842 is formed in the middle of the box body 844. The output shaft of the motor 82 passes through the bearing hole 845, so as to realize the vibration reduction of the entire drive assembly 8 in the vibration reduction assembly 84. In this embodiment, two spring 843 columns 842 are arranged, and two springs 843 and guiding holes are also correspondingly arranged.

[0043] Preferably, as Figure 5 shown, the interlocking assembly 3 includes: a touch sensing switch 32, a guiding sleeve 34, a telescopic rod 35, a resetting member, a fixing sleeve 33, a touch block 36 and a side plate 31.

[0044] The side plate 31 is arranged on the side of the fixing plate 846 far from the vibration reduction assembly. The touch sensing switch 32 is arranged on the side plate 31. The touch sensing switch 32 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 9. The guiding sleeve 34 is sleeved on the outer edge of the sensing part of the touch sensing switch 32. The telescopic rod 35 is arranged in the guiding sleeve 34. The telescopic rod 35 is used to touch the telescopic rod 35 on another transport device to retract the guiding sleeve 34 and contact the touch sensing switch 32. At this time, the two transport devices have been aligned and spliced. The sensing switch sends the touch information to the control circuit board 9. The control circuit board 9 sends the information to the server, and the server sends the information to the client to prompt the user that the two transport devices have completed the splicing. One end of the resetting member is connected to the guiding sleeve 34, and the other end is connected to the telescopic rod 35. The resetting member is for the telescopic rod 35 to return to the state of protruding from the guiding sleeve 34. In this embodiment, the resetting member is a spring 843. The isolation frame 41 is arranged on the side plate 31, and the connecting assembly 4 is also assembled with the vibration reduction assembly 84 accordingly, so that the assembly process is more integrated and the assembly difficulty is reduced. The fixing sleeve 33 is used to adjust the tightness of the guiding sleeve 34, so as to adjust the flexibility of the telescopic rod 35. A touch block 36 is arranged at the end of the telescopic rod 35 far from the touch sensing switch 32. The touch block 36 is used to make the contact between the two transport devices more sufficient.

[0045] The working principle of the present invention is generally as follows: When the device needs to be used, first turn on the device. At this time, the user can send instructions through the client. For example, when two transport devices need to be spliced, the two transport devices will transmit the position information sent by the positioning device to the server in real time. The server adjusts the distance according to the two position information, and the driving component 8 drives the transport device to move. When the contact surfaces of the two transport devices come into contact, the connection component 4 splices the transport devices. At this time, the interlock component 3 senses whether the driving component 8 is aligned. If it is aligned, it will send information to the client, and the client can know whether the splicing is completed, so that the next step of work can be started. The transport device set in this way effectively solves the problems that the processes of AMR, AGV, and multi-level collaboration in the market are very cumbersome, require relatively complex algorithm support, have poor multi-unit coordination ability, low adaptation ability, and the handling effect is far from the expected effect in actual use. It has the advantages that the collaboration process is very simple, does not require complex algorithm support, has strong multi-unit coordination ability, and high adaptation ability.

[0046] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and not to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent replacements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solution of the present invention should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
