[0033] The recycling lifting device is installed on the AGV omnidirectional vehicle in specific use, that is, the outer sleeve 19 of the elevator 5 is installed on the whole vehicle chassis 1 of the AGV omnidirectional vehicle through the hinge 21, when the to-be-inspected parts at the bottom of the large machine are disassembled, the outer sleeve 19 in the lifting state is first rotated downward around the hinge 21 to become the recycling state, and the outer sleeve 19 is kept in the recycling state through the locking piece (that is, the outer sleeve 19 is fixed on the whole vehicle chassis 1 of the AGV omnidirectional vehicle through the locking piece), so that the whole vehicle height of the AGV omnidirectional vehicle can be reduced, then the AGV omnidirectional vehicle is controlled to enter the disassembly position at the bottom of the large machine, then the operator releases the locking piece, and then the outer sleeve 19 is rotated upward around the hinge 21 to become the lifting state (at this time, the axis of the elevator 5 is in the vertical direction), then the screw rod 31 is driven to rotate through the power mechanism, and due to the action of the guide mechanism, the nut 30 slides upward along the axial direction of the outer sleeve 19, so that the inner sleeve 20 fixedly connected to the nut 30 extends upward from the outer sleeve 19 until the upper end of the inner sleeve 20 contacts the to-be-inspected part, after the operator removes the connecting screw of the to-be-inspected part and the large machine, the screw rod 31 is reversely driven to rotate through the power mechanism, so that the inner sleeve 20 moves downward and retracts into the outer sleeve 19, and the to-be-inspected part also moves downward together with the inner sleeve 20, when the to-be-inspected part is completely separated from the large machine, the AGV omnidirectional vehicle can be controlled to transport the to-be-inspected part out from the bottom of the large machine. When the part needs to be installed at the bottom of the large machine, the outer sleeve 19 is in the lifting state, and the inner sleeve 20 is adjusted to a suitable height, then the part is placed on the upper end of the inner sleeve 20, then the AGV omnidirectional vehicle is controlled to enter the installation position at the bottom of the large machine, the inner sleeve 20 is extended upward until the part contacts the large machine, then the operator connects the part and the large machine through the screw, then the inner sleeve 20 is retracted into the outer sleeve 19, of course, the outer sleeve 19 can also be changed from the lifting state to the recycling state and locked through the locking piece, and finally the AGV omnidirectional vehicle is driven out from the bottom of the large machine. As can be seen, through the use of the present application, the operator only needs to perform simple operation to complete the disassembly and assembly of the parts at the bottom of the large machine, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of the whole inspection work.

[0034] As Figures 6-8As shown in the figure, the lower end of the outer sleeve 19 is fixed on a box base 15, the lower end of the screw rod 31 extends into the base 15, the lower end of the screw rod 31 is fixedly installed with a driven wheel 33, the base 15 is fixedly provided with a bevel gear reversing gear 16, the output shaft 36 of the bevel gear reversing gear 16 extends into the base 15, the output shaft 36 of the bevel gear reversing gear 16 is fixedly installed with a driving wheel 35, the driving wheel 35 and the driven wheel 33 are connected with a conveyor belt 34, and the power mechanism is a motor 17, which is connected with the input shaft 37 of the bevel gear reversing gear 16.

[0035] As shown in the figure, Figure 8 The guide mechanism includes a sliding groove 41 and a sliding block 40, the sliding groove 41 is arranged on the inner cylinder wall of the outer sleeve 19 and along the axial direction of the outer sleeve 19, and the sliding block 40 is fixedly arranged on the nut 30 and located in the sliding groove 41.

[0036] The bevel gear reversing gear 16 belongs to the prior art, which includes a gear box body, two bevel gears are arranged in the gear box body and mesh with each other, and the axes of the two bevel gears are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 8 The axes of the two bevel gears are arranged horizontally and vertically respectively, the bevel gear with the horizontal axis is a first bevel gear 38, the bevel gear with the vertical axis is a second bevel gear 39, the first bevel gear 38 is fixedly connected with the input shaft 37 of the bevel gear reversing gear 16, and the second bevel gear 39 is fixedly connected with the output shaft 36 of the bevel gear reversing gear 16. When the motor 17 is started, the motor 17 can drive the first bevel gear 38 to rotate through the input shaft 37 of the bevel gear reversing gear 16, the first bevel gear 38 in turn drives the second bevel gear 39 to rotate, and then the second bevel gear 39 in turn drives the output shaft 36 of the bevel gear reversing gear 16 and the driving wheel 35 to rotate together, and the driving wheel 35 drives the driven wheel 33 and the screw rod 31 to rotate together through the conveyor belt 34. When the screw rod 31 rotates, since the sliding block 40 on the nut 30 is located in the sliding groove 41 of the outer sleeve 19, the nut 30 will not rotate with the screw rod 31 but will only slide along the axial direction of the outer sleeve 19 through the sliding block 40 and the sliding groove 41, and then the inner sleeve 20 fixedly arranged on the nut 30 will extend upward or retract downward from the outer sleeve 19.

[0037] As shown in the figure, Figure 8As shown in the drawings, the upper end of the outer sleeve 19 is fixedly installed with a first end cover 29, the first end cover 29 is annular, the lower end of the inner sleeve 20 is fixedly connected on a nut 30, the upper end of the inner sleeve 20 extends to the outside of the first end cover 29 after passing through the center hole of the first end cover 29, a sealing ring 28 is arranged between the first end cover 29 and the inner sleeve 20, and the sealing ring 28 is arranged on the first end cover 29. The first end cover 29 can guide the inner sleeve 20 to move more stably when moving upward or downward, and can also seal the outer sleeve 19 to prevent dust and other impurities from entering the outer sleeve 19.

[0038] As shown in the drawings, Figure 7 , 8 , the upper end of the inner sleeve 20 is fixedly installed with a second end cover 27, the second end cover 27 is provided with a top plate 12, and a damping pad 26 is arranged between the top plate 12 and the second end cover 27.

[0039] As shown in the drawings, Figure 6 , in combination with Figures 1-5 , 7, 9, the base 15 is fixedly arranged on an L-shaped bottom plate 18 by screws, the bottom plate 18 includes a horizontal plate 43 and a vertical plate 42 fixedly connected, the base 15 is fixedly arranged on the horizontal plate 43 by screws, the hinge 21 is a hinge, the hinge includes a first hinge plate 24, a second hinge plate 25 and a hinge shaft, the first hinge plate 24 and the second hinge plate 25 are rotatably connected by the hinge shaft, the first hinge plate 24 is fixedly connected on the vertical plate 42, and the hinge and the base 15 are respectively located on opposite sides of the vertical plate 42. When the first hinge plate 24 rotates relative to the second hinge plate 25, the outer sleeve 19 can be switched between the lifting state and the recovery state. Of course, when the first hinge plate 24 rotates relative to the second hinge plate 25, the bottom plate 18, the base 15 and the outer sleeve 19 fixedly arranged on the bottom plate 18 also rotate with the first hinge plate 24, so that the outer sleeve 19 can be switched between the lifting state and the recovery state.

[0040] As shown in the drawings, Figure 3 , in combination with Figure 5 , 6 , 7, 10-14, the locking member is a latch, the latch includes a latch head 22 and a latch seat 14, the latch head 22 is fixedly arranged on the top plate 12, the latch seat 14 is provided with a clamping groove 51 matched with the latch head 22, and an elastic clamping member is arranged in the clamping groove 51. When the outer sleeve 19 is in the recovery state, the latch head 22 is located in the clamping groove 51 of the latch seat 14 and is clamped by the elastic clamping member, and when the outer sleeve 19 is in the lifting state, the latch head 22 is separated from the clamping groove 51 of the latch seat 14.

[0041] The latch seat 14 includes a mounting plate 45, on which two seat bodies 49 are fixedly arranged at a distance from each other. The gap between the two seat bodies 49 forms a clamping groove 51. Each seat body 49 has a through hole 46 parallel to the mounting plate 45. A third end cap 47 is fixedly connected to the end of the through hole 46 away from the clamping groove 51. A clamping ball 50 is installed in the through hole 46. A spring 48 connects the clamping ball 50 and the third end cap 47. The two clamping balls 50 are connected to each other. The two clamping balls 50 abut against each other under the action of the spring 48. The abutting ends of the two clamping balls 50 are located in the clamping groove 51. The two clamping balls 50 and the two springs 48 together constitute the elastic clamping member. The locking head 22 is provided with a groove 44 on each of its opposite sides. When the locking head 22 is located in the clamping groove 51 of the locking seat 14, the two clamping balls 50 are located on the opposite sides of the locking head 22 and clamp the locking head 22. The abutting ends of the two clamping balls 50 are located in the two grooves 44 of the locking head 22 respectively.

[0042] The third end cap 47 can be fixedly connected to the end of the through hole 46 away from the clamping groove 51 by means of threaded connection. When installing the clamping ball 50, first connect the two ends of the spring 48 to the third end cap 47 and the clamping ball 50 respectively. Then, insert the clamping ball 50, the spring 48 and the third end cap 47 into the through hole 46 from the end of the through hole 46 away from the clamping groove 51 in sequence, and tighten the third end cap 47 on the through hole 46.

[0043] The latch head 22 is fixed to the top plate 12 via the connecting plate 13, that is, the latch head 22 is fixed to the connecting plate 13 by screws, and the connecting plate 13 is in turn fixed to the top plate 12 by screws. Under the action of a certain force, the latch head 22 strikes the latch seat 14, and the latch head 22 enters the clamping groove 51 and knocks apart the two clamping balls 50 that are abutting each other. Under the action of the spring 48, the two clamping balls 50 clamp the latch head 22 tightly, so the latch head 22 is embedded in the latch seat 14 and locked. Under the action of the opposite force, the latch head 22 can be disengaged from the clamping groove 51 of the latch seat 14. At this time, the two clamping balls 50 return to the abutting state under the action of the spring 48.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, and in combination Figures 2-14 As shown, the AGV omnidirectional vehicle using the above-mentioned retractable lifting device in this invention includes a vehicle chassis 1. Four retractable lifting devices are installed on the vehicle chassis 1. The four retractable lifting devices form two retractable lifting device groups. Each retractable lifting device group includes two retractable lifting devices arranged opposite each other. The two retractable lifting device groups are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the vehicle chassis 1. The second hinge plate 25 and the mounting plate 45 of the collision lock seat 14 of each retractable lifting device are fixed to the vehicle chassis 1 by screws.

[0045] As Figure 3 , 5 , 6, 9, in the embodiment, two recyclable lifting devices in each recyclable lifting device group share a bottom plate 18, and it can also be understood that the bottom plates 18 of the two recyclable lifting devices are fixedly connected through an integrated forming mode. When the outer sleeve 19 of the lifting machine 5 is in the lifting state, the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 43 of the bottom plate 18 is in contact with the whole vehicle chassis 1.

[0046] As Figures 1-5 shown, in the embodiment, the two recyclable lifting device groups are arranged at the head side and the tail side of the whole vehicle chassis 1 respectively.

[0047] In order to avoid that the whole vehicle height size of the AGV omnidirectional vehicle is too high, so as to be unable to enter the bottom of a large machine to carry out disassembly work, the recyclable lifting device is fixed on the whole vehicle chassis 1 through a hinge, and the recyclable lifting device is in the recycling position (i.e. the outer sleeve 19 is in the recycling state) before entering the bottom of the large machine, the latch head 22 is locked by the latch seat 14, so that the whole recyclable lifting device is locked on the whole vehicle chassis 1. At this time, the height of the whole equipment is the ground clearance of the upper surface of the whole vehicle chassis 1.

[0048] As Figures 1-5 shown, the whole vehicle chassis 1 of the AGV omnidirectional vehicle in the application is a whole frame structure, which is welded by steel materials, and the remaining parts of the AGV omnidirectional vehicle are installed on the whole vehicle chassis 1, and the remaining parts include an omnidirectional shaft system, a driving box 9, a control box 10, a battery pack 11 and a whole vehicle skin. Since the remaining parts of the AGV omnidirectional vehicle are prior art, only the following simple description is made:

[0049] (1) The whole vehicle skin is mainly composed of a head skin 7, a tail skin 3, a control box skin 8, a battery pack skin 4 and a driving box skin 6. The whole vehicle skin is installed on the top of the whole vehicle chassis 1, and can effectively protect the electrical elements, cables and mechanical elements in the vehicle body;

[0050] (2) The omnidirectional shaft system is composed of a Mecanum wheel 2, a reducer and a servo motor. The servo motor drives the Mecanum wheel 2 through the reducer. The Mecanum wheel 2 can realize omnidirectional movement, and has high movement precision, and can realize accurate positioning during the disassembly process of the parts;

[0051] (3) The driving box 9, the control box 10 and the battery pack 11 form the electrical control system of the AGV omnidirectional vehicle. The battery pack 11 provides power for the whole vehicle movement, the control box 10 is used for receiving remote control and other control signals, and communicates with the driving box 9. The driving box 9 receives the motor speed signal issued by the control box 10 to control the movement of the servo motor, and then drives the Mecanum wheel 2.

[0052] AsFigures 1-5 As shown, when disassembling the parts to be repaired at the bottom of large machinery, the outer sleeve 19, which is in a lifted state, is first rotated downward around the hinge 21 to become a retracted state. The outer sleeve 19 is then held in the retracted state by the bump lock, which reduces the overall height of the AGV omnidirectional vehicle. The AGV omnidirectional vehicle is then controlled to enter the disassembly position at the bottom of the large machinery. Next, the operator rotates the outer sleeve 19 upward, causing the bump lock head 22 to disengage from the clamping groove 51 of the bump lock seat 14, releasing the locking mechanism. The outer sleeve 19 is then rotated upward again to become a lifted state (at this time, the axis of the elevator 5 is in the vertical direction). Then, the screw 31 is driven to rotate by the motor 17. Due to the action of the slider 40 and the slide groove 41... Nut 30 slides upward along the axial direction of outer sleeve 19, so inner sleeve 20, which is fixedly connected to nut 30, extends upward from inside outer sleeve 19 until top plate 12 contacts the part to be repaired. After the operator removes the connecting screws between the part to be repaired and the large machinery, motor 17 drives screw 31 to rotate in the opposite direction, so inner sleeve 20 moves downward and retracts into outer sleeve 19. Part to be repaired also moves downward with inner sleeve 20. When part to be repaired is completely separated from the large machinery, fasteners (such as pins) are used to fix part to be repaired on top plate 12. Then, the AGV omnidirectional vehicle can be controlled to transfer part to be repaired from the bottom of the large machinery. When components need to be installed at the bottom of large machinery, the outer sleeve 19 is raised, and the inner sleeve 20 is adjusted to a suitable height. The component is then placed on the top plate 12 and secured to it using fasteners (such as pins). Next, the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) is moved to the installation position at the bottom of the large machinery. The inner sleeve 20 is then extended upwards until the component contacts the large machinery. The operator then connects the component to the machinery using screws. The inner sleeve 20 is then retracted back into the outer sleeve 19. Alternatively, the outer sleeve 19 can be moved from the raised state to the retracted state and locked using a latch. Finally, the AGV is driven out from under the large machinery. Therefore, by using this invention, operators can easily complete the disassembly and assembly of components at the bottom of large machinery, greatly improving the efficiency of the entire maintenance process.

[0053] like Figure 7 , 8 As shown, in order to avoid damage to parts or elevator 5 caused by vibration during the transfer process, the present invention installs a vibration damping pad 26 between the top plate 12 and the second end cover 27 of the inner sleeve 20, which can effectively absorb the vibration energy during the transfer and reduce the harm of vibration.

[0054] like Figure 6 As shown, in order to ensure the stability of the parts during the transfer process, the top plate 12 is provided with pin holes 23, which can be used to fix the parts by passing through the fixing holes and pin holes 23 on the parts.

[0055] As shown in Figures 1-5 , and in combination with Figure 6 , 7 , 9, the AGV omnidirectional vehicle in the present application, wherein the two said recyclable lifting device groups are respectively a first recyclable lifting device group arranged on the front side of the vehicle and a second recyclable lifting device group arranged on the rear side of the vehicle, when the outer sleeve 19 of the first recyclable lifting device group changes from the lifting state to the recycling state, the outer sleeve 19 of the first recyclable lifting device group rotates towards the direction close to the second recyclable lifting device group, and when the outer sleeve 19 of the second recyclable lifting device group changes from the lifting state to the recycling state, the outer sleeve 19 of the second recyclable lifting device group rotates towards the direction close to the first recyclable lifting device group.

[0056] In this way, by adopting the above arrangement, the first recyclable lifting device group and the second recyclable lifting device group can form a stable force structure, assuming that the first recyclable lifting device group on the front side of the vehicle has a tendency to rotate towards the recycling position, due to the pin shaft that connects the parts and the first recyclable lifting device group together, this tendency will make the second recyclable lifting device group on the rear side of the vehicle rotate towards the direction away from the recycling position, but at this time the bottom surface of the horizontal plate 43 of the bottom plate 18 of the second recyclable lifting device group on the rear side of the vehicle has contacted with the whole vehicle chassis 1, which will prevent this movement tendency, thereby ensuring that the shaft line of the elevator 5 of the two recyclable lifting device groups is always in the vertical position.

[0057] Of course, the first recyclable lifting device group and the second recyclable lifting device group can also be arranged as follows:

[0058] When the outer sleeve 19 of the first recyclable lifting device group changes from the lifting state to the recycling state, the outer sleeve 19 of the first recyclable lifting device group rotates away from the second recyclable lifting device group, and when the outer sleeve 19 of the second recyclable lifting device group changes from the lifting state to the recycling state, the outer sleeve 19 of the second recyclable lifting device group rotates away from the first recyclable lifting device group. Similarly, this arrangement can also make the first recyclable lifting device group and the second recyclable lifting device group form a stable force structure, the principle of which is described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0059] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0060] (1) By simply operating the remote control, the movement of the AGV omnidirectional vehicle and the lifting of the lifting device can be realized, which is convenient to operate;

[0061] (2) The recyclable lifting device can effectively control the height of the vehicle body, and is suitable for the maintenance of mechanical chassis parts;

[0062] (3) The lifting device is symmetrically arranged, so that the transfer process is more stable, and overturning is effectively avoided;

[0063] (4) The use of the damping pad 26 can effectively reduce the influence of vibration.
