Detailed Implementation
[0035] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-10 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0036] Dual-vehicle heavy-duty guide AGV system, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the assembly includes a ground guide channel 3, a trolley device, and several sets of front trolleys 1 and rear trolleys 2 used in conjunction. The trolley device has guide slots that mate with the ground guide channel 3. The guide slots and the ground guide channel 3 together form an assembly loop. Each set of front trolleys 1 is equipped with a front trolley guide drive mechanism that mates with the assembly loop and moves along the assembly loop. Each set of rear trolleys 2 is equipped with a rear trolley guide mechanism that mates with the assembly loop and moves along the assembly loop.

The front of the drive wheel mounting box 13 is hinged to one end of the front vehicle front guide shaft mounting seat 10, and the other end of the front vehicle front guide shaft mounting seat 10 is hinged to the other end of the drive wheel mounting rod 11. The front vehicle front guide shaft mounting seat 10, the drive wheel mounting box 13 and the drive wheel mounting seat 13 rotatably connected to the front vehicle body 100 form a parallelogram structure. The front vehicle body 100 is also provided with several front vehicle follower wheels 16. The rear end face of the front vehicle body 100 is provided with a front vehicle rear guide shaft 23 that extends into the guide groove or the ground guide groove 3. In this embodiment, the front vehicle drive unit 15 uses a commercially available motor with a release handle, and its operation is controlled by an external control system. The front vehicle drive unit 15 drives the front vehicle drive wheel 14 to rotate, and the front vehicle follower wheels 16 rotate accordingly, so that the entire front vehicle 1 moves together. The parallelogram structure formed by the front guide shaft mounting seat 10, the rotating connecting rod 11 rotatably connected to the front vehicle body 100, and the drive wheel mounting box 13 enables the front guide shaft 12 to make stable turns while moving along the ground guide groove 3. In this embodiment, the front vehicle guide drive mechanism is located at the front right part of the front vehicle 1, and front vehicle follower wheels 16 are respectively provided at the front left, rear left, and rear right parts of the front vehicle 1, running clockwise along the assembly ring line.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 7As shown, in this embodiment, a foreign object sensing base 17 is installed on the front guide shaft mounting seat 10 of the front vehicle. The front side of the foreign object sensing base 17 is connected to a guide groove foreign object sensing shaft mounting seat 19 by several springs 18. The guide groove foreign object sensing shaft mounting seat 19 is provided with a guide groove foreign object sensing shaft 20 that extends into the guide groove opening or the ground guide groove 3. The guide groove foreign object sensing shaft 20 is located on the front side of the front guide shaft 12 of the front vehicle. The guide groove foreign object sensing shaft mounting seat 20 is also provided with guide sleeves 21 that correspond one-to-one with each spring 18. Each guide sleeve 21 passes through a corresponding spring 18 and passes through the foreign object sensing base 17. The guide groove foreign object sensing shaft mounting seat 19 and the foreign object sensing base 17 are provided with a detection switch assembly A 22. In this embodiment, the detection switch assembly A 22 includes a contact switch body disposed on the foreign object sensing base 17 and a contact block disposed on the foreign object sensing shaft mounting seat 19 of the guide groove. When the foreign object sensing shaft 20 of the guide groove touches the foreign object in the guide groove or the ground guide groove 3, the foreign object sensing shaft mounting seat 19 of the guide groove moves backward, so that the contact block touches the contact switch body. The contact switch body sends a signal to the control system to control the front vehicle drive unit 15 to stop operating. In addition, an inspection door is opened on the top surface of the front vehicle body 100 so that the inspection door can be opened directly in case of sudden failure, and the release and engagement handle of the front vehicle drive unit 15 can be pulled to put the front vehicle drive wheel 14 into a follow-up state, and the front vehicle 1 can be moved out of the assembly ring line.
[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8-10As shown, in this embodiment, each group of front vehicles 1 and rear vehicles 2 are connected by the same hook-up mechanism. The rear vehicle 2 includes a rear vehicle body 200, and the rear vehicle guiding mechanism includes a rear vehicle front guide shaft 26 and a rear vehicle rear guide shaft 37. The rear vehicle body 200 is equipped with several rear vehicle follower wheels 24. The rear vehicle 2 itself has no power. The rear vehicle rear guide shaft 37 is located on the rear end face of the rear vehicle body 200 and extends into the guide slot or ground guide slot 3. The rear end face of the rear vehicle body 200 is also equipped with a rear vehicle push plate 38 for the push block 7 to abut against. The rear vehicle body 200... A rear vehicle front guide shaft mounting seat 25 is installed on the front side. The rear vehicle front guide shaft 26 is set on the rear vehicle front guide shaft mounting seat 25 and extends into the guide groove or ground guide groove 3. A hook body connecting seat 27 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rear vehicle front guide shaft mounting seat 25. A cam shaft 28 is rotatably provided at the front end of the rear vehicle front guide shaft mounting seat 25. A cam part 2801 is provided in the middle of the cam shaft 28. A foot pedal part 2802 is also provided at one end of the cam shaft 28 for easy foot pedaling. The hooking mechanism includes a hooking ring 29 located at the rear of the front vehicle 1 and a hooking hook assembly located at the front of the rear vehicle 2. The hooking hook assembly includes a hooking hook body 30, which is connected to a hooking hook body connecting seat 27 and has the freedom to swing up and down. One end of the hooking hook body 30 is the hooking hook part. The other end of the hooking hook body 30 is pressed down by stepping on the foot pedal 2802, which causes the cam part 2801 of the camshaft 28 to be pressed down, thereby causing the hooking hook part to be lifted and pass over the hooking ring 29. Then, the camshaft 28 is rotated to make the hooking hook part fall down and hook up with the hooking ring 29. The hook body 30 and the hook body connecting seat 27 are connected by a T-shaped connector 31. The T-shaped connector 31 includes two horizontal connecting ends and one vertical connecting end.

Centering springs 35 are respectively sleeved on the swing rods 33 on both sides of the swing reset block 32. By cooperating with the T-shaped connector 31, the swing reset block 32, the swing rod 33, the swing rod rotation shaft 34, and the centering spring 35, the hook body 30 can swing left and right when turning. After turning, the centering spring 35 can drive the T-shaped connector 31 and the hook body 30 to automatically return to their original positions and be straightened through the swing reset block 32, so as to achieve effective hooking under turning conditions.On the front vehicle 1 below the hook ring 29, there is also a detection switch assembly B36 for measuring the engagement status of the hook. In this embodiment, the detection switch assembly B36 is located on the elastic pressure plate at the rear of the rear vehicle 2 and a contact switch located below the elastic pressure plate. When the hook part of the hook body 30 is successfully engaged with the hook ring 29, the hook part presses down the elastic pressure plate and the contact switch below the elastic pressure plate, so that the control system can accurately judge the engagement status of the engagement mechanism.
[0043] Working principle:
[0044] By coordinating the front vehicle 1 and the rear vehicle 2, the heavy truck body can be supported synchronously. The front vehicle 1 is loaded and driven forward, while the rear vehicle 2 is towed by the heavy truck body in the assembly section. In the non-assembly section, the rear vehicle 2 can be towed by the front vehicle 1 through the hook-up mechanism. Through the coordinated arrangement of the ground guide trough, the guide shafts set at various locations on the front vehicle 1 and the rear vehicle 2, and the trolley device with guide trough openings, each set of front vehicle 1 and rear vehicle 2 can be safely navigated. Moreover, all rear vehicles 2 are all non-powered trolleys, resulting in low overall manufacturing cost, convenient maintenance, high strength, and short fault handling time. Through the coordinated arrangement of the foreign object sensing base 17, spring 18, guide trough foreign object sensing shaft mounting seat 19, guide trough foreign object sensing shaft 20, guide sleeve 21, and detection switch assembly A 22, it can be ensured that if there are insurmountable foreign objects at the guide trough opening or ground guide trough 3, the system is buffered and can stop in time by triggering the detection switch assembly A 22.
