Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of article conveying, and in particular to an AGV unloading mechanism. Background Art

[0002] AGV logistics cart refers to a transport vehicle equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic navigation devices, which can travel along the specified navigation path and has safety protection and various transfer functions. It is a transport vehicle that does not require a driver in industrial applications and uses rechargeable batteries as its power source. Generally, its travel path and behavior can be controlled by a computer, or its travel path can be established using electromagnetic tracks. The electromagnetic tracks are attached to the floor, and the unmanned transport vehicle relies on the information brought by the electromagnetic tracks to move and act;

[0003] According to a Chinese patent with the authorization announcement number CN112499144B, a material unloading structure for an AGV logistics cart is disclosed. The goods are guided by a guide plate to prevent the goods from quickly colliding with the ground, thereby ensuring the safety of the goods. At the same time, the limit block can effectively prevent the goods from sliding on the support and falling, thereby ensuring the safety of the goods and not hindering the unloading process, making it more convenient to use. In fact, during the production of certain products, due to their appearance and processing conditions, they usually need to be inverted for processing. Therefore, after they are off the line, they usually need to be flipped and straightened. However, the above-mentioned AGV logistics cart unloading structure does not have the technical effect of flipping the unloaded items, and cannot meet the requirements for unloading materials that need to be flipped.

[0054] 2. In the present invention, the output rods of the front and rear two servo electric cylinders drive the U-shaped metal frame to move downward, pushing the flip shaft together with the roller downward, and the downward movement of the flip shaft drives the coupling sleeve, the push-pull block and the push-pull pin to move downward together, and the downward movement of the push-pull pin is also guided by the path groove, so that the push-pull pin slides along the inner wall of the path groove during the downward movement, further driving the push-pull block and the coupling sleeve to move together, so that the second key groove is separated from the first key groove, and the roller will not drive the front and rear flip frames to continue rotating after the outer wall of the flip shaft rotates, thereby reducing the load of the double-sided reduction motor, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power consumption.

A rodless cylinder 308 is fixedly mounted on one side of the right-angle swing arm 306 away from the flip frame 303, and there are two of them. The two rodless cylinders 308 are respectively located at the periphery of the openings of the two through holes 307. A clamping rod 309 is slidably mounted inside the rodless cylinder 308, and the clamping rod 309 movably penetrates the through holes 307 and the arc grooves 305. A clamping plate 3010 is fixedly mounted on the end of the clamping rod 309. A positioning groove 3011 is formed in the middle of the back sides of the front and rear flip frames 303, and a fixing plate 3012 is fixedly mounted inside the positioning groove 3011. The first hinge column 3013 is fixedly mounted on both ends of a side of the fixed plate 3012 away from the flip frame 303, the electric telescopic rod 3014 is hinged on the outer walls of the two first hinge columns 3013 respectively, the second hinge column 3015 is fixedly mounted on the end corner of a side of the right-angle swing arm 306 away from the flip frame 303, the outer wall of the second hinge column 3015 is hinged to the output rod end of the electric telescopic rod 3014, the cylinder fixing seat 3016 is fixedly mounted on the top of the AGV trolley 100 in a front and rear distribution, the servo electric cylinder 3017 is fixedly mounted inside the cylinder fixing seat 3016, and the top of the output rod of the servo electric cylinder 3017 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped metal frame 301.

[0080] The turning part 300 is driven to operate by the driving part 400, so that the turning shaft 302 rotates counterclockwise, and the turning shaft 302 rotates counterclockwise to drive the front and rear turning frames 303 to rotate together, and further drives the right-angle swing arm 306, the rodless cylinder 308, the clamping rod 309 and the clamping plate 3010 to rotate together under the connection of the positioning pin 304. When one set of clamping plates 3010 rotates to the right, the clamping rod 309 is driven to move by the rodless cylinder 308 to push the clamping plate 3010 to clamp the front and back of the article. The clamped articles are turned counterclockwise to the left along the axis of the turning shaft 302 to achieve the turning requirement in the process of unloading articles.

The picking rod 309, the clamping plate 3010 and the clamped object rotate upward together, thereby slowing down the contact speed between the bottom of the object and the top of the bracket 202, avoiding damage to the object caused by impact. At the same time, the clamping plate 3010 rotates to the right to clamp the next object, which will not interfere with the normal efficiency of the next group of clamping plates 3010 in clamping objects. Under the premise of ensuring that the objects are placed lightly, the next group of objects can still be clamped at a good speed. When the bottom of the object is completely in contact with the top of the bracket 202, the rodless cylinder 308 drives the clamping rod 309 to move in the opposite direction, driving the clamping plate 3010 to move together to release the clamping force on the object. After flipping, the object continues to be unloaded to the left along the bracket 202. At the same time, the output rod of the electric telescopic rod 3014 is reset immediately, pushing the right-angle swing arm 306 to rotate along the positioning pin 304, so that the positions of the rodless cylinder 308, the clamping rod 309 and the clamping plate 3010 are reset, waiting for the next object to be clamped.

The two synchronous belts 405 are movable through the front and rear square grooves 3001 respectively.

[0083] Specifically, the output shaft of the bilateral reduction motor 401 drives the front and rear synchronous wheels 402 to rotate, and further drives the roller 403 to rotate under the connection of the front and rear synchronous belts 405, and drives the flip shaft 302 to rotate under the transmission action of the breaking part 500, so that the entire flip part 300 is in operation to flip and unload the items.

[0084] For further details, please refer to Figure 5 as well as Figure 11 to Figure 13 As shown:

[0086] Specifically, the output shaft of the bilateral reduction motor 401 drives the front and rear synchronous wheels 402 to rotate, and further drives the roller 403 to rotate under the connection of the front and rear synchronous belts 405. Due to the bite action of the second keyway 503 and the first keyway 501, during the rotation of the roller 403, the transmission action of the coupling sleeve 502 and the torque limiting action of the torque limiting groove 504 and the torque limiting block 505 further drive the flip shaft 302 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the flip part 300 to rotate as a whole to realize the flipping of the items. When the unloaded items do not need to be flipped, the output rods of the front and rear servo electric cylinders 3017 drive the U-shaped metal frame 301 to move downward, pushing the flip shaft 302 together with the roller 403 downward, and the downward movement of the flip shaft 302 drives the coupling sleeve 502, the push-pull block 506 and the push-pull pin 508 to move downward together, and the downward movement of the push-pull pin 508 is also guided by the path groove 5010, so that the push-pull pin 508 is During the downward movement, 08 also slides along the inner wall of the path groove 5010, further driving the push block 506 and the coupling sleeve 502 to move together, so that the second key groove 503 is separated from the first key groove 501. At this time, the output shaft of the bilateral reduction motor 401 continues to drive the front and rear two synchronous wheels 402 to rotate, and then drives the rollers 403 through the front and rear two synchronous belts 405. After the outer wall of the flip shaft 302 rotates, it will not drive the front and rear two flip frames 303 to continue rotating, reducing the load of the bilateral reduction motor 401, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power consumption, until the rollers 403 move downward to the bottom height of the rollers and the top height of the brackets 202, the two servo cylinders 3017 stop working, thereafter, the unloading items are directly transported to the left along the multiple brackets 202, and, while the items pass through the middle position of the conveying frame plate 203, the top of the rollers 403 provide support and bridging for the items, ensuring smooth transportation and unloading of the items.

[0087] For further details, please refer to Fig.14 , Fig.15 As shown:

[0088] A U-shaped groove 2003 is provided at the top of the conveying frame 203, and the U-shaped groove 2003 is located at the bottom of the flip shaft 302. The width of the U-shaped groove 2003 is greater than the diameter of the flip shaft 302. A guide groove 2004 is provided in the middle of the inner side surface of the conveying frame 203, and the left and right walls of the guide groove 2004 are respectively slidably connected to the left and right outer walls of the U-shaped metal frame 301.

[0089] Specifically, a U-shaped groove 2003 is provided on the top of the conveying frame 203 to give way to the flip shaft 302 for downward movement, thereby preventing the flip shaft 302 from interfering with the top of the conveying frame 203 during downward movement, thereby ensuring that the flip shaft 302 can move freely up and down. The inner wall of the guide groove 2004 is slidably connected to the outer side surface of the U-shaped metal frame 301, which can provide a guiding function for the up and down movement of the U-shaped metal frame 301 and ensure the stability of the movement of the U-shaped metal frame 301.

[0090] In the present scheme, when an AGV unloading mechanism is working, the AGV trolley 100 is used to carry the unloading mechanism to the place where it is needed, and the right end of the unloading mechanism is connected to the output end of the conveyor line. When unloading, the items unloaded from the line are conveyed to the top of the conveyor roller 204 through the item conveyor line, and the items are conveyed to the left end through the conveyor roller 204. At the same time, the output shaft of the bilateral reduction motor 401 drives the front and rear two synchronous wheels 402 to rotate, and further drives the roller 403 to rotate under the connection of the front and rear two synchronous belts 405. Due to the bite action of the second key groove 503 and the first key groove 501, during the rotation of the roller 403, Through the transmission effect of the coupling sleeve 502, and the torque limiting effect of the torque limiting groove 504 and the torque limiting block 505, the flip shaft 302 is further driven to rotate counterclockwise, and the flip shaft 302 rotates counterclockwise to drive the front and rear flip frames 303 to rotate together, and further drives the right-angle swing arm 306, the rodless cylinder 308, the clamping rod 309 and the clamping plate 3010 to rotate together under the connection of the positioning pin 304. When one set of clamping plates 3010 rotates to the right, the clamping rod 309 is driven to move by the rodless cylinder 308, and the clamping plate 3010 is pushed to clamp the front and rear objects. The clamped objects are flipped counterclockwise to the left along the axis of the flip shaft 302. To realize the flipping requirement during the unloading process of the items, when the items are flipped to the left and the bottom of the items is about to touch the bracket 202, the output rods of the corresponding group of electric telescopic rods 3014 clamping the items are recovered, driving the right-angle swing arm 306 to rotate upward along the transfer position with the positioning pin 304. The rotation of the right-angle swing arm 306 drives the rodless cylinder 308, the clamping rod 309, the clamping plate 3010 and the clamped items to rotate upward together, thereby slowing down the contact speed between the bottom of the item and the top of the bracket 202, avoiding damage to the items caused by impact. At the same time, the clamping plate 3010 rotates to the right to clamp the next item without interfering with the next group The clamping plate 3010 has a normal efficiency in clamping items. On the premise of ensuring that the items are placed gently, it still ensures a good clamping speed for the next group of items. When the bottom of the item is completely in contact with the top of the bracket 202, the rodless cylinder 308 drives the clamping rod 309 to move in the opposite direction, driving the clamping plate 3010 to move together to release the clamping force on the item. After turning over, the item continues to be unloaded to the left along the bracket 202. At the same time, the output rod of the electric telescopic rod 3014 is reset immediately, pushing the right-angle swing arm 306 to rotate along the positioning pin 304, so that the position of the rodless cylinder 308, the clamping rod 309 and the clamping plate 3010 is reset, waiting for the next item to be clamped;

[0091] When the unloaded items do not need to be turned over, the output rods of the front and rear servo electric cylinders 3017 drive the U-shaped metal frame 301 to move downward, pushing the turning shaft 302 and the roller 403 downward. The turning shaft 302 moves downward, driving the coupling sleeve 502, the push-pull block 506 and the push-pull pin 508 to move downward together. The push-pull pin 508 moves downward and is also guided by the path groove 5010, so that the push-pull pin 508 slides along the inner wall of the path groove 5010 during the downward movement, further driving the push-pull block 506 and the coupling sleeve 502 to move together, so that the second key groove 503 is separated from the first key groove 501. At this time, the double-sided deceleration After the output shaft of the motor 401 continues to drive the front and rear two synchronous wheels 402 to rotate, it drives the rollers 403 through the front and rear synchronous belts 405 to rotate the outer wall of the flip shaft 302 and will not drive the front and rear flip frames 303 to continue rotating, reducing the load of the bilateral reduction motor 401, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power consumption, until the rollers 403 move downward to the height of their bottoms and the top height of the brackets 202, the two servo cylinders 3017 stop working, thereafter, the unloading items are directly transported to the left along the multiple brackets 202, and the top of the rollers 403 provide support and bridging for the items, ensuring smooth transportation and unloading of the items.

[0092] While the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention.
