Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of garage AGVs, and in particular to a multifunctional transport and lifting AGV. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous growth of the national economy and the great improvement of people's living standards, cars have been widely popularized, and with the continuous increase in the number of cars, traditional ground parking spaces can no longer meet the demand. As the core component of parking equipment, the reliability, safety and efficiency of car lifts are increasingly required.

[0003] The existing garages are equipped with car-carrying plate type AGV and clamp-arm type AGV. The car-carrying plate type AGV adopts the method of lurking AGV + car-carrying plate. The car drives onto the top of the car-carrying plate at the entrance and exit. There are four corner supports at the bottom of the car-carrying plate. The lurking AGV drives into the bottom of the car-carrying plate. The AGV performs a slightly lifted state to lift the car-carrying plate and move it horizontally to the vehicle storage position to complete the storage of the vehicle. The main advantage of the clamp-arm type AGV is that it is used when the space height is insufficient. The AGV clamp-arm type AGV uses the principle of clamping the front and rear tires to transport and retrieve parking spaces. The clamp-arm type AGV cannot greatly improve the utilization rate of land. It is expensive and has high requirements for the ground. Therefore, the present application involves the car-carrying plate comb-tooth AGV.

[0004] The existing patent technology of the patent announcement number CN221073690U, named as a scissor-lift AGV trolley, specifically discloses "including a vehicle frame, a differential drive unit is installed in the drive installation frame at the four corners of the vehicle frame, and a lifting mechanism is installed in the lifting groove in the middle of the upper surface of the vehicle frame; the lifting mechanism includes a lower platform frame and an upper platform frame, a first guide rail is installed on the inner side of the lower platform frame, and a second guide rail is installed on the inner side of the upper platform frame. The left end of the lower platform frame is connected to the first scissor support rod, and the upper end of the first scissor support rod is movably connected to the second guide rail through the first guide wheel, the left end of the upper platform frame is connected to the second scissor support rod, and the upper end of the second scissor support rod is movably connected to the first guide rail through the second guide wheel; the second scissor support rod is connected to the first scissor support rod by a hydraulic telescopic rod, and a lifting plate is fixedly installed above the upper platform frame". When the above-mentioned AGV technology is used to lift the vehicle body, only the scissor structure is used for driving, and no corresponding precise positioning device is provided. In addition, its stability for heavy goods is only due to the insufficient strength of the scissor structure's load-bearing capacity.

[0005] In the existing patent technology with patent publication number CN118461972A, entitled Parking Equipment, Garage and Arrival Detection Method, it is specifically disclosed that "the parking equipment includes a vehicle loading plate, a parking rack and a transport trolley. The vehicle loading plate is used to carry the vehicle. The parking rack includes lifting pieces located at the four corners of the vehicle loading plate, and the vehicle loading plate can be supported and connected to the lifting pieces. The transport trolley is used to carry and transport the vehicle loading plate, and the transport trolley includes a lifting device, a first detection device, a second detection device and a control device. The lifting device is used to lift the vehicle loading plate. When the vehicle loading plate is lifted to the in-place height, it is located vertically above the lifting piece, and the first detection device generates an in-place signal." When the above-mentioned parking equipment is lifting the vehicle body, it only uses a scissors-type structure to drive it, and no corresponding precise positioning device is provided. In addition, its stability for heavy goods is only achieved through the load-bearing capacity of the scissors-type structure, which is not strong enough. Summary of the invention

[0051] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 A multifunctional handling and lifting AGV includes a base 1, an AGV body walking module 2, a rigid chain drive device 3, a scissor support device 4, an upper platform 5, a mechanical hard synchronization device 6, a sensor monitoring synchronization device 7, a program control synchronization device 8, a lithium battery 9, a laser navigation sensor 10 and an identification camera 11; wherein the top front and rear sides of the base 1 are connected to the upper platform 5 located above the base 1 through the scissor support device 4, and the scissor support device 4 mainly ensures the stability of the upper platform 5 during the lifting process under the action of the rigid chain. There is a set of proximity switches at the highest position and the lowest position to identify the re-confirmation of the platform being in the high position and the platform being in the low position. The high position and the low position of the platform can be changed within the effective travel of the rigid chain.

[0053] For ease of understanding and description, Figure 1 The front, back, left, and right directions marked in the figure are used as a reference, and other directions are deduced based on this. It should be understood that this direction setting is only for the convenience of description and understanding, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 The base 1 is a rectangular structure as a whole, and a storage bin is opened inside it, wherein the scissors support device 4 can be retracted inside the storage bin, and at the same time, the rigid chain drive device 3, the mechanical hard synchronization device 6, the sensor monitoring synchronization device 7, and the program control synchronization device 8 are all installed in the storage bin.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The AGV body walking module 2 is installed at the diagonal position of the base 1, wherein the AGV body walking module 2 includes a walking wheel 24, the output shaft of the walking servo motor 25 is directly connected to the walking wheel 24, the output shaft of the rotary servo motor 23 is connected to the rotary pinion 21, and the AGV body base is fixed to the upper surface of the rotary support 22 at the diagonal position by bolts. When the body wants to rotate, the rotary servo motor 23 controls the rotation of the rotary pinion 23 to engage with the gear of the rotary support 22, so that the walking wheel 24 rotates to achieve the effect of rotating the body.

[0056] It should be noted that the outer layer of the travel wheel 24 is made of super wear-resistant polyurethane material, which has the advantages of high strength, wear resistance, high stability, and certain elasticity, and is very suitable for use in the AGV system; the wheel alone constitutes a driving mechanical system, and a travel servo motor 25, a coaxial reducer, a brake, a navigation sensor and various detection and control devices are installed in the wheel bracket. It is small in size, complete in functions, reliable in operation, and easy to repair and maintain.

[0057] The cargo transported by AGV is heavy and large in size. Therefore, it needs to be driven by a servo motor with high torque and high speed. When the load is at a high limit state, and the ground is not flat, the upper platform of the AGV is prone to shaking when it moves. Therefore, a more stable and shape-preserving scissor fork structure is needed. This scissor fork structure is further upgraded and modified on the basis of the general scissor fork, and adds structures such as a rigid chain drive device 3 and a mechanical hard synchronization device 6 that cooperates with it, which is more stable in structure and smoother in movement.

[0058] Reference Figure 3 , the rigid chain drive device 3 is symmetrically provided with two groups, and the top output ends of the two groups of rigid chain drive devices 3 are respectively installed on both sides of the upper platform 5 to support the upper platform 5, and the height of the rigid chain assembly 34 in the rigid chain drive device 3 can be adjusted according to the position of the upper platform 5; the rigid chain drive device 3 includes a servo motor 31, a reducer 32, an output shaft 33, a rigid chain assembly 34 and a motor connecting seat 35, wherein one end of the servo motor 31 is connected to the reducer 32, the output shaft 33 of the reducer 32 is connected to the rigid chain assembly 34, the top output end of the rigid chain assembly 34 is connected to the upper platform 5, and the bottom surface of the rigid chain assembly 34 is fixed to the Agv base 1 through four groups of M8*30 hexagon socket bolts; it should be noted that the servo motor 31 and the reducer 32 are both installed on the base 1 through the motor connecting seat 35 in conjunction with the hexagon socket M10*30 bolt group; the rigid chain assembly 34 is composed of a rigid chain, and the load capacity of the machine is very strong. Compared with other hydraulic jacking drive methods, the rigid chain drive lifting effect has low noise, no pollution and higher stability.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The scissors support device 4 is symmetrically arranged in two groups, and the two groups of scissors support devices 4 are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the base 1. The top of the scissors support device 4 is connected to the upper platform, and cooperates with the rigid chain drive device 3 to support and lift the upper platform 5; the scissors support device 4 includes a scissors arm frame structure 41, an upper end slider 42, an upper end guide rail 43, a bottom slider 44, a bottom guide rail 45 and a ball screw locking device 47. The top end of the scissors arm frame structure 41 is movably connected to the upper platform 5 through a latch shaft, and the other end of the top is slidably connected to the upper end guide rail 43 arranged on the upper platform 5 through the upper end slider 42; the bottom end of the scissors arm frame structure 41 is movably connected to the base 1 through a latch shaft, and the other end of the bottom is slidably connected to the bottom guide rail 45 arranged on the base 1 through the bottom slider 44, and one end of the bottom slider 44 is connected to the ball screw locking device 47 arranged on the base 1. It should be noted that the ends of the scissors arm frame structure 41 that can slide up and down are located on the same side.

[0060] Therefore, when the scissor support device 4 and the rigid chain drive device 3 drive the upper platform 5 to rise, at this time, the other end of the top of the scissor arm frame structure 41 slides on the upper guide rail 43 through the upper end slider 42, and the other end of the bottom of the scissor arm frame structure 41 slides on the bottom guide rail 45 through the bottom slider 44, and the ball screw locking device 47 can be used to drive the bottom slider 44 to slide on the bottom guide rail 45, thereby driving the scissor arm frame structure 41 to work, and then driving the upper platform 5 to rise and fall;

[0061] Further, see Figure 5 The ball screw locking device 47 includes a nut seat 471 connected to the bottom slider 44, the internal thread of the nut seat 471 is connected to the screw 472, and the two ends of the screw 472 are detachably fixed to the base 1 through a bearing seat 1 474 and a bearing seat 2 475, one end of the screw 472 is connected to an electromagnetic brake 473, and the electromagnetic brake 473 is connected to a brake bracket 476; wherein the brake bracket 476, the bearing seat 1 474 and the bearing seat 2 475 are all detachably connected to the base 1 through hexagon socket M8*25 bolts or pins.

[0062] When the upper platform 5 moves up and down, the relative angle of the scissor fork changes, causing the bottom slider 44 to move on the bottom guide rail 45. The movement of the bottom slider 44 causes the nut seat 471 to rotate on the lead screw 472. When the upper platform 5 stops in place, the electromagnetic brake 473 on the ball screw device is attracted to lock the lead screw 472 to rotate, thereby limiting the sliding of the locked bottom slider 44 on the bottom guide rail 45, ensuring the stability of the Agv movement during the lifting process of the upper platform 5 and when the upper platform 5 is in a high position; when the upper platform 5 descends, the electromagnetic brake 473 is electrically unlocked and the nut seat 471 rotates on the lead screw 472.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 , vertical bars are arranged on the left and right sides of the upper platform 5, and cross bars are arranged on the front and rear sides. Two cross bars are arranged in parallel between the two vertical bars, and a plurality of comb teeth are arranged between the two cross bars to carry subsequent cars.

[0064] Reference Figure 6 , the mechanical hard synchronization device 6 is arranged between the two sets of rigid chain drive devices 3;

[0065] Furthermore, the mechanical hard synchronization device 6 includes two meshing gears 65 installed on the base 1, wherein the output end of one gear is connected to sprocket two 63, sprocket two 63 is connected to sprocket one 61 through chain one 62, and sprocket one 61 is installed at the output end of one of the rigid chain drive devices 3; the output end of the other gear is connected to sprocket three, sprocket three is connected to sprocket four through chain two 68, and sprocket four is installed at the output end of the other rigid chain drive device 3.

[0066] Furthermore, a tensioning sprocket bracket 66 is provided on the base 1 and between the sprocket three and the sprocket four. A tensioning wheel 67 is installed on the tensioning sprocket bracket 66, wherein the bottom of the tensioning wheel 67 just contacts the chain 2 68 and provides tensioning for the chain 2 68. The bottom of the tensioning wheel bracket 66 is installed on the base 1 through four groups of hexagon socket bolts M8*30. The tension of the chain 2 68 is adjusted by adjusting the installation position of the tensioning wheel 67. A sprocket 61 is installed at the output shaft position of the reducer 32 to drive the meshing of the two gears 65 in the middle position, thereby mechanically ensuring the mechanical hard synchronization of the output shafts of the two reducers.

[0067] It should be noted that due to the large platform load and limited base space, it is not possible to design a single high-torque motor drive, so a dual-motor drive is adopted. Due to the particularity of the structure, the output of the two servo motors 31 must be synchronized.

[0068] Reference Figure 7The sensor monitoring synchronization device 7 is composed of gear 1 71, gear 2 72, rotary encoder 73, etc. Gear 1 71 is meshingly connected with gear 2 72; gear 1 71 is fixed to one side end face of the output shaft 33 by two sets of countersunk bolts M8*25, and the rotary encoder 73 is connected to the gear 72 through the shaft. The two sets of sensor monitoring synchronization device 7 monitor the rotation angle of the output shaft 33 from the electrical control to ensure the consistency of the output signal of the rotary encoder 73, thereby ensuring the synchronization of the lifting servo motor 31, thereby ensuring the stability of the upper platform 5 during the lifting process.

[0069] Reference Figure 1 The program control synchronization device 8 is installed on the servo motors 31 in the two rigid chain drive devices 3, and is connected to the servo motors 31 to control the operation of the servo motors 31. The sensor monitors the synchronization device 7 and the program control device 8 by ensuring that the controller outputs the same pulse to the two servo motors 31.

[0070] Reference Figure 1 The lithium battery 9 is installed on one side of the base 1, and laser navigation sensors 10 are provided at the diagonal positions at both ends of the base 1, and an identification camera 11 is also provided at the middle position of the base 1; the laser navigation sensor 10 is installed at the diagonal position of the AGV base 1 in a diagonal installation manner, and the two laser navigation sensors 10 form a safety protection device (with a full coverage of the detection range of 0-360 degrees) to ensure safe operation; the high-sensitivity QR code recognition camera 11 adopts an imported special camera and is installed at the center of the AGV base. The recognition camera 11 can accurately identify the landmark QR code information during the rapid operation of the AGV, and the AGV control system performs error compensation, which greatly improves the walking accuracy of the navigation.

[0071] The power supply system 9 is composed of lithium iron phosphate batteries, etc. When the battery power is lower than the set value, the AGV enters a low-power state, and the vehicle body client sends a charging request signal to inform the control center, and the control center will arrange the AGV to enter an idle charging station; the charging device connection mechanism can automatically retract to assist the AGV in completing the charging work.

[0072] The specific operating principles of this application are as follows:

[0073] When in use, the rigid chain assembly 34 is first driven downward by the servo motor 31, and at the same time, the screw rod 472 inside the ball screw locking device 47 controls the scissor support device 4 to work simultaneously, and together drive the lower platform 5 to move downward until it contacts the bottom plate 1 and is located at the top position of the bottom plate 1;

[0074] At this time, the walking wheels 24 in the AGV body walking module 2 can move to the bottom of the vehicle body under the drive of the walking servo motor 25, and then drive the lower platform 5 to move up through the rigid chain assembly 34 and the scissor support device 4, and contact the chassis of the vehicle body, and then continue to move up until the vehicle body is completely off the ground. At this time, the walking wheels 24 are controlled to move, and the vehicle body can be moved by the AGV. When it moves to the required parking space, the lower platform 5 can be driven to descend, so that the AGV can be evacuated alone, thereby realizing the transportation of the vehicle body.

[0075] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents.
