DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0056] The transport vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Embodiment 1

[0058] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses a transport vehicle, which can be an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), or other intelligent transport vehicles, which are not specifically limited here. The transport vehicle includes a chassis 100 and a floating drive device 200.

[0059] The chassis 100 is a basic component of the transport vehicle, and can provide a foundation for other structures of the transport vehicle. A power device for providing power to the transport vehicle can be installed on the chassis 100 .

[0060] The floating drive device 200 includes a drive bracket 210, a boost bracket 220, a second elastic member 230, a first elastic member 240 and a drive wheel 250. The drive bracket 210 and the boost bracket 220 can be movably arranged on the chassis 100. The drive wheel 250 is arranged on the drive bracket 210. Optionally, the drive wheel 250 can be arranged on the side of the drive bracket 210, that is, the drive wheel 250 and the drive bracket 210 are arranged side by side, so as to reduce the height of the transport vehicle. When the drive wheel 250 receives the driving force from the power device, the driving force can make the drive wheel 250 rotate, and the drive wheel 250 drives the entire transport vehicle to move, so as to ensure the normal driving of the transport vehicle. The second elastic member 230 is connected between the driving bracket 210 and the chassis 100, and the first elastic member 240 is connected between the driving bracket 210 and the boosting bracket 220. Optionally, the second elastic member 230 and the first elastic member 240 can both be spring structures, etc., and no specific restrictions are made here; further optionally, the second elastic member 230 and the driving bracket 210 and the chassis 100, and the first elastic member 240 and the driving bracket 210 and the boosting bracket 220 can be connected by hanging, welding, etc., and no specific restrictions are made here.

[0061] When the transport vehicle is unloaded, the second elastic member 230 is pressed by the chassis 100, and the driving bracket 210 is driven to move relative to the chassis 100 to press the driving wheel 250. There is a grip between the driving wheel 250 and the ground, so that the driving wheel 250 can travel. Of course, the transport vehicle may not be provided with the second elastic member 230.

[0062] When the weight of the load 990 on the transport vehicle is greater than a preset value, the booster bracket 220 is subjected to the force from the load 990 and moves relative to the chassis 100, so as to drive the drive bracket 210 to move relative to the chassis 100 through the first elastic member 240, so as to press the drive wheel 250, thereby increasing the grip of the drive wheel 250, so as to prevent the transport vehicle from tilting due to insufficient grip of the drive wheel 250. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application can solve the problem of insufficient grip of the drive wheel 250 in the current transport vehicle.

[0063] It should be noted that the preset value in the embodiment of the present application can be the deadweight of the transport vehicle, and of course it can also be other values, as long as the weight of the load 990 on the transport vehicle can drive the booster bracket 220 to move relative to the chassis 100, and drive the driving bracket 210 to move relative to the chassis 100 through the first elastic member 240, there is no specific limitation here.

[0064] Optionally, the number of floating drive devices 200 is at least two, including a first floating drive device and a second floating drive device, and the first floating drive device and the second floating drive device are arranged at intervals in a direction perpendicular to the driving direction of the transport vehicle and parallel to the rotation axis of the driving wheel 250, that is, in the width direction of the transport vehicle, thereby further increasing the grip of the driving wheel 250.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, the driving bracket 210 is hinged to the chassis 100, that is, the driving bracket 210 can rotate relative to the chassis 100. Optionally, the transport vehicle further includes a second connecting shaft 910, which is arranged on the driving bracket 210, and the driving bracket 210 is hinged to the chassis 100 through the second connecting shaft 910. Of course, the driving bracket 210 can also be rotatably connected to the chassis 100 in other ways, which is not specifically limited here. The booster bracket 220 is hinged to the chassis 100, that is, the booster bracket 220 can rotate relative to the chassis 100. Optionally, the transport vehicle further includes a third connecting shaft 920, which is arranged on the booster bracket 220, and the booster bracket 220 is rotatably connected to the chassis 100 through the third connecting shaft 920. Of course, the booster bracket 220 can also be rotatably connected to the chassis 100 in other ways, which is not specifically limited here. This connection method requires a smaller movement space, so it is more convenient for the structural design of the transport vehicle. When the weight of the load 990 on the transport vehicle is greater than a preset value, the booster bracket 220 rotates relative to the chassis 100, so as to drive the driving bracket 210 to rotate relative to the chassis 100 through the first elastic member 240. The rotation of the booster bracket 220 relative to the chassis 100 and the rotation of the driving bracket 210 relative to the chassis 100 in the embodiment of the present application can be arranged based on the lever principle to achieve force transmission, thereby ensuring that the driving wheel 250 has sufficient grip to prevent the driving wheel 250 from slipping or tilting.

[0066] In an optional embodiment, the driving bracket 210 has a driving wheel connection portion 212 and an elastic member connection portion 213, the driving wheel connection portion 212 and the elastic member connection portion 213 are respectively located on both sides of the second connecting shaft 910, the driving wheel connection portion 212 has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite to each other along the extension direction of the second connecting shaft 910, the driving wheel 250 is connected to the first end of the driving wheel connection portion 212, and the driving wheel 250 and the driving wheel connection portion 212 are arranged along the extension direction of the second connecting shaft 910, the elastic member connection portion 213 is connected to the first elastic member 240, the booster bracket 220 is located on the side of the elastic member connection portion 213 away from the driving wheel connection portion 212, and the second elastic member 230 is located between the first elastic member 240 and the second connecting shaft 910. At this time, the booster bracket 220 is far away from the driving wheel 250, and the acting force between the various components of the transport vehicle is more dispersed, so it is not easy for the transport vehicle to be damaged due to excessive local force.

[0067] Optionally, the driving wheel connection portion 212 of the driving bracket 210 and the elastic member connection portion 213 of the driving bracket 210 can be arranged in a straight line. In this case, the driving bracket 210 is a straight bar structure, which is not only inconvenient for the driving bracket 210 to be hinged to the chassis 100, but also the straight bar structure occupies a large space; therefore, optionally, the elastic member connection portion 213 is bent relative to the driving wheel connection portion 212. Optionally, the driving bracket 210 can be in a V-shaped structure to facilitate the hinge connection of the driving bracket 210 to the chassis 100 and reduce the space occupied by the driving bracket 210; further optionally, the connection between the driving wheel connection portion 212 and the elastic member connection portion 213 can be a first connection portion 211, and the first connection portion 211 can be hinged to the chassis 100 through a second connecting shaft 910, so as to facilitate the driving bracket 210 to rotate around the hinge shaft.

[0068] Optionally, the transport vehicle also includes a first base 400, which is arranged on the chassis 100, and the second elastic member 230 is hinged between the first base 400 and the driving bracket 210, and the driving bracket 210 is hinged to the first base 400 through the second connecting shaft 910 to facilitate the connection between the driving bracket 210 and the chassis 100.

[0069] In a further optional embodiment, the chassis 100 includes a main body 110 and a protective cover 120, and the protective cover 120 is arranged on the main body 110. The transport vehicle also includes casters 300, and the casters 300 are used for the movement of the transport vehicle. Optionally, the casters 300 can be universal wheels, so that the transport vehicle can rotate 360° in a horizontal plane; further optionally, the number of casters 300 is at least four, and each caster 300 is arranged at intervals along the edge of the chassis 100, so as to increase the contact area between the transport vehicle and the ground and improve the stability of the transport vehicle; further optionally, in the driving direction of the transport vehicle, the driving wheel 250 is arranged between adjacent casters 300. Since the driving wheel 250 is the active wheel and the caster 300 is the driven wheel, the driving wheel 250 is arranged between adjacent casters 300, which can not only improve the driving efficiency of the driving wheel 250, but also the two adjacent casters 300 are subjected to almost the same driving force, thereby avoiding the tilting of the transport vehicle. The caster 300 is disposed on the main body 110. Optionally, a through hole is provided at the edge of the main body 110, and one end of the caster 300 passes through the through hole and contacts the ground, so that the structure of the entire transport vehicle is more compact, which is conducive to improving the stability of the transport vehicle. At least part of the caster 300 is located in the accommodating space of the protective cover 120. Since the caster 300 moves on the ground, and there are inevitably dust, water stains and other debris on the ground, the debris is easily carried to the caster 300, and then falls on the chassis 100 and other structures. Therefore, by providing the protective cover 120, dust, water stains and other debris can be prevented from falling on the chassis 100 and other structures.

[0070] Optionally, the boost bracket 220 includes a second base 221 and a boost arm 222, and the second base 221 is arranged on the protective cover 120. In this case, the protective cover 120 serves as the setting basis of the boost bracket 220 to facilitate the connection between the boost bracket 220 and the chassis 100. Of course, an additional support can also be directly arranged on the chassis 100 to facilitate the hinge connection between the boost bracket 220 and the chassis 100. However, compared with the method of setting the second base 221 on the protective cover 120, this method will increase the number of parts of the transport vehicle, increase the installation workload and production cost, and therefore, the protective cover 120 in the embodiment of the present application has a dual-purpose effect.

[0071] The booster arm 222 is hinged to the second base 221. Optionally, the third connecting shaft 920 can be provided on the second base 221, so that the booster arm 222 is rotatably connected to the second base 221 through the third connecting shaft 920. The booster arm 222 has a load-bearing end and a connecting end. The first elastic member 240 is connected between the elastic member connecting portion 213 of the driving bracket 210 and the connecting end of the booster arm 222. The load 990 on the transport vehicle can be pressed on the load-bearing end of the booster arm 222, thereby realizing the transmission of the force.

[0072] The structure of the booster bracket 220 can be flexibly set. Optionally, the load-bearing end of the booster arm 222 and the connecting end of the booster arm 222 can be set in a straight line. In this case, the booster bracket 220 is a straight bar structure, but the straight bar structure occupies a large space and is easy to interfere with other structures during the rotation of the booster bracket 220; therefore, optionally, the booster bracket 220 includes a first part and a second part connected, the load-bearing end of the booster arm 222 is set at the first part, and the connecting end of the booster arm 222 is set at the second part, and the first part is bent relative to the second part. Optionally, the booster bracket 220 can be an L-shaped structure, thereby reducing the space occupied by the booster bracket 220 and avoiding interference with other structures during the rotation of the booster bracket 220. Further optionally, the connection between the first part and the second part is a second connection 223, and the second connection 223 can be hinged to the protective cover 120 through a third connecting shaft 920, so that the booster bracket 220 can rotate around the hinge axis.

[0073] Optionally, the transport vehicle also includes a first rotating shaft 930 and a second rotating shaft 940, and the first elastic member 240 is rotatably connected to the connecting end of the boost bracket 220 via the first rotating shaft 930, and the first elastic member 240 is rotatably connected to the elastic member connecting part of the driving bracket 210 via the second rotating shaft 940. At this time, the two ends of the first elastic member 240 have more degrees of freedom, thereby improving the rotational flexibility of the boost bracket 220 and the driving bracket 210.

[0074] Optionally, the transport vehicle also includes a third rotating shaft 950 and a fourth rotating shaft 960. The second elastic member 230 is rotatably connected to the driving bracket 210 via the third rotating shaft 950, and the second elastic member 230 is rotatably connected to the first base 400 via the fourth rotating shaft 960. At this time, the two ends of the second elastic member 230 have more degrees of freedom, thereby improving the rotation flexibility of the driving bracket 210.

[0075] Further optionally, the second elastic member 230 and the first elastic member 240 can be respectively hung on the third rotating shaft 950, the fourth rotating shaft 960, the first rotating shaft 930 and the second rotating shaft 940, but the stress of this arrangement is more concentrated, which is easy to damage the second elastic member 230 and the first elastic member 240; therefore, optionally, the transport vehicle also includes a first support 902, a second support 903, a third support 904 and a fourth support 905, the second elastic member 230 is connected to the third rotating shaft 950 and the fourth rotating shaft 960 respectively through the first support 902 and the second support 903, and the first elastic member 240 is connected to the first rotating shaft 930 and the second rotating shaft 940 respectively through the third support 904 and the fourth support 905 to increase the connection area, thereby protecting the second elastic member 230 and the first elastic member 240.

[0076] In an optional embodiment, the booster bracket 220 has a load-bearing end, and the transport vehicle further includes a top plate 700 and a plurality of support columns 800. The top plate 700 is connected to the chassis 100 through each support column 800. The top plate 700 serves as a load-bearing member for the load 990. Optionally, the top plate 700 can be made of sheet metal, and of course, can also be made of other materials with strong rigidity, which is not specifically limited here. The plurality of support columns 800 are all arranged between the chassis 100 and the top plate 700. The arrangement of the support columns 800 can prevent the top plate 700 from directly pressing against the drive bracket 210 and other structures arranged on the chassis 100, so as to protect the structure arranged between the chassis 100 and the top plate 700.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, the top plate 700 is provided with a second avoidance hole 710, and the load-bearing end of the booster bracket 220 is exposed in the second avoidance hole 710. At this time, the load 990 borne by the transport vehicle is directly pressed onto the load-bearing end, which can prevent the load-bearing end from damaging the top plate 700, thereby protecting the top plate 700.

[0078] In another optional embodiment, the top plate 700 is movably connected to the chassis 100 through at least one support column 800, and the bottom surface of the top plate 700 contacts the load-bearing end of the boost bracket 220 to press the load-bearing end of the boost bracket 220. At this time, due to the large area of ​​the top plate 700, it can be suitable for loads 990 of various sizes. Optionally, each support column 800 can be arranged at intervals along the edge of the chassis 100. At this time, the end of the top plate 700 away from the load-bearing end can be hinged to the support column 800, and the end of the top plate 700 close to the load-bearing end can have a gap with the support column to facilitate the movement of the boost bracket 220 and limit the rotation angle of the top plate 700; Optionally, each support column 800 can be arranged at intervals along the edge of the chassis 100.

[0079] Embodiment 2

[0080] refer to Figures 9 to 11As shown, the same contents as those in Example 1 are not repeated here. The difference lies in the setting position of the boost bracket 220. Specifically, the driving bracket 210 is hinged to the chassis 100 through the second connecting shaft 910, and the driving bracket 210 has a driving wheel connecting portion 212 and an elastic member connecting portion 213. The driving wheel connecting portion 212 and the elastic member connecting portion 213 are respectively located on both sides of the second connecting shaft 910, and the driving wheel connecting portion 212 has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite to each other along the extension direction of the second connecting shaft 910. The driving wheel 250 is connected to the first end of the driving wheel connecting portion 212, and the driving wheel 250 and the driving wheel connecting portion 212 are arranged along the extension direction of the second connecting shaft 910. The elastic member connecting portion 213 is connected to the first elastic member 240, and at least a portion of the boost bracket 220 is located between the driving wheel connecting portion 212 and the elastic member connecting portion 213. The second elastic member 230 is located on the side of the first elastic member 240 away from the driving wheel connecting portion 212. At this time, the distance between the booster bracket 220 and the driving wheel 250 is relatively close, and the structures of the floating driving device 200 are more compact, which can reduce the occupied space of the entire floating driving device 200 and prevent the transport vehicle from tilting due to unstable center of gravity.

[0081] Optionally, when the chassis 100 includes the main body 110 and the protective cover 120, the transport vehicle further includes a first base 400, the first base 400 is arranged on the protective cover 120, and the second elastic member 230 is connected between the first base 400 and the elastic member connecting portion 213 of the driving bracket 210. The protective cover 120 serves as a setting base for the driving bracket 210, so as to facilitate the connection between the driving bracket 210 and the chassis 100. Of course, an additional support can also be directly arranged on the chassis 100 to facilitate the hinge connection between the driving bracket 210 and the chassis 100. However, this method will increase the number of parts of the transport vehicle relative to the method of arranging the first base 400 on the protective cover 120, and will increase the installation workload and production cost. Therefore, the protective cover 120 in the embodiment of the present application has the effect of serving two purposes.

[0082] The boost bracket 220 can be arranged side by side with the driving bracket 210. In this case, the floating driving device 200 occupies a larger space; therefore, optionally, the boost arm 222 has a load-bearing end and a connecting end, the driving bracket 210 is provided with a first avoidance hole, the boost bracket 220 is passed through the first avoidance hole, and the load-bearing end and the connecting end of the boost bracket 220 both extend outside the first avoidance hole, thereby further reducing the space occupied by the floating driving device 200 and making the various structures of the floating driving device 200 more compact.

[0083] Optionally, the booster bracket 220 includes a second base 221 and a booster arm 222, the second base 221 is arranged on the main body 110, the booster arm 222 has a load-bearing end and a connecting end, the first elastic member 240 is connected between the elastic member connecting portion 213 of the driving bracket 210 and the connecting end of the booster arm 222, and the load 990 on the transport vehicle can be pressed on the load-bearing end of the booster arm 222, thereby realizing the transmission of force.

[0084] Optionally, the boost bracket 220 includes a first part and a second part connected to each other, the load-bearing end of the boost arm 222 is arranged at the first part, the connection end of the boost arm 222 is arranged at the second part, the first part is bent relative to the second part, and optionally, the angle between the first part and the second part can be an obtuse angle, thereby reducing the space occupied by the boost bracket 220 and avoiding interference with other structures during the rotation of the boost bracket 220. Further optionally, the connection between the first part and the second part is a second connection 223, and the second connection 223 can be hinged to the main body 110 of the chassis 100 through a third connection shaft 920, so that the boost bracket 220 can rotate around the hinge shaft.

[0085] In the above-mentioned embodiment 1 and embodiment 2, optionally, the booster bracket 220 has a load-bearing end, and the transport vehicle further includes a first connecting shaft 500 and a roller group 600, the roller group 600 is sleeved on the first connecting shaft 500, and the first connecting shaft 500 is arranged at the load-bearing end of the booster bracket 220. When the transport vehicle has a load 990, the roller group 600 can move relative to the load 990, thereby reducing the friction of the load-bearing end, which is conducive to improving the rotation flexibility of the booster bracket 220. Optionally, the first connecting shaft 500 can be a fastener such as a screw, which is not specifically limited here. Further optionally, the transport vehicle can also include a nut 901, a portion of the first connecting shaft 500 is threaded, and the nut 901 is threadedly matched with the first connecting shaft 500 to improve the connection stability of the first connecting shaft 500.

When the weight of the load 990 on the transport vehicle is greater than a preset value, the booster bracket 220 slides in the first direction relative to the chassis 100, so as to drive the driving bracket 210 to slide in the first direction relative to the chassis 100 through the first elastic member 240, that is, the sliding directions of the booster bracket 220 and the driving bracket 210 are the same. In this way, the connection area between the driving bracket 210 and the chassis 100 and the connection area between the booster bracket 220 and the chassis 100 are both large, which is conducive to improving the stability of the entire floating drive device 200 during the sliding of the booster bracket 220 relative to the chassis 100 and the driving bracket 210 relative to the chassis 100.
