The thin plate production line is generally composed of multiple stations, usually including a panel assembly station, a marking and cutting repair station, a longitudinal frame welding station, a buffer and transverse shifting station, a T-profile installation station, a T-profile welding station, a wall installation station and a wall welding station. According to the process layout of the thin plate production line, the general practice of the thin plate production line is to use a transport trolley to transport between the stations through transverse shifting between the stations of the assembly line. Whether it is a transverse shifting trolley or a transport trolley, it needs to lay tracks on the ground when transporting on the ground, forming a wider track groove, power supply groove, etc., which affects the passage of the workshop channel.

The mounting mechanism 4 and the fixing mechanism 6 adopt a modular design and can be connected to a fixing piece that matches the size of the thin plate to prevent the thin plate from moving or shifting during transportation.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the expansion mechanism 5 is connected to a thin plate forming device, which is connected to the controller through the expansion mechanism 5, and can compress, stretch or bend the boban during the transportation of the main body 1.

[0050] The present invention also provides a method for using a module transport trolley for a ship thin plate production platform, using the module transport trolley for a ship thin plate production platform of any one of the above embodiments, comprising the following steps:

[0051] S1: Check whether each component is normal, confirm that the power interface is connected correctly, the battery is fully charged, and the loudspeaker 15 and the information indicator light 16 can send out warning signals normally;

[0052] S2: The thin plate is mounted on the trolley, the trolley is started, the control panel 11 performs system initialization, and the status of each component is self-checked. After completion, the information indicator light 16 displays normal;

[0053] S3: The controller sets the running route and target location, the mobile monitoring device scans the environment in real time, records obstacle information, and the controller automatically calculates the best path;

[0054] S4: The mobile mechanism 2 drives the trolley, the mobile monitoring device records the route and transmits data, the obstacle sensor 31 continuously monitors the external environment, and the power monitoring device monitors the status of the mobile mechanism 2;

[0055] S5: When the mobile monitoring device detects an obstacle, the obstacle avoidance program of the controller is triggered, the path is replanned to avoid the obstacle, and the indicator light 16 on the control panel 11 sends a warning signal;

[0056] S6: After the trolley reaches the target position, the sheet is unloaded, and the controller controls the trolley to automatically return to the starting position or wait for new instructions;

[0057] S7: After the task is completed, shut down the vehicle, disconnect the power interface, and inspect and maintain each component.

[0058] The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for using a module transport trolley for a ship thin plate production platform, wherein the trolley is driven to move by a moving device, a mobile monitoring device and a power monitoring device monitor the movement of a main body 1, and transmit the data to a controller, and the controller plans the driving route of the ship thin plate transport trolley through the data of a monitoring mechanism 3, so as to avoid obstacles during driving, deliver the thin plates to the destination, and complete the automatic transport of the thin plates in the ship production process. The present application uses a monitoring mechanism 3 that can monitor the environment and its own position in real time, and then provides high-precision path planning and obstacle avoidance functions through a controller, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the trolley in the complex environment of ship production, improving work efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and reducing labor intensity and production costs.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, in S1, carefully check whether the components of the vehicle are intact. Ensure that the start / stop button 13, the emergency stop button 14 on the control panel 11 and the sensors on the main body 1 are in normal working condition. The sensor accuracy should be between ±0.1% and ±1%.

[0060] Then proceed with the power supply test. First, check whether the power interface is correctly connected to the power supply. Confirm that the battery is fully charged and can provide sufficient power. The battery capacity range is 20Ah to 200Ah, and the voltage range is 12V to 48V.

[0061] Then, a safety check is performed to ensure that the loudspeaker 15 and the information indicator light 16 work properly to send out warning signals. The loudspeaker 15 has a volume range of 85dB to 110dB, and the information indicator light 16 has a brightness range of 500 to 1000 lumens.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, in S2, the start / stop button 13 is pressed to start the vehicle. The controller will perform system initialization and self-check the working status of various sensors and explosion-proof motors. The initialization time is between 5 seconds and 30 seconds.

[0063] After the system self-check is completed, the information indicator light 16 shows the normal working state, indicating that the trolley is ready.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, in S3, the running route and target position of the car are set in the controller through the control panel 11 or the remote controller. The path can also be manually input or automatically set through a preset program. Among them, the path planning error should be controlled within ±5cm. The process of the controller automatically calculating the optimal path includes the system automatically calculating the optimal driving path based on the obstacle information received.

[0065] The obstacle sensor 31 starts to scan the surrounding environment in real time, records the location, shape and size of obstacles, and transmits the data to the controller. The scanning frequency range is 10Hz to 50Hz. The controller automatically calculates the best driving path based on the obstacle information received to ensure safety and efficiency. The path calculation response time should be between 100ms and 500ms.

[0066] Furthermore, in the process of automatically calculating the optimal driving path, a Dijkstra algorithm, an A* algorithm or a PID controller is used.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, during the movement of the trolley in S4, in case of an emergency, the controller controls the trolley to stop running immediately to avoid accidents. After checking and solving the problem, the controller restarts the trolley. Specifically, in case of an emergency, press the emergency stop button 14, the trolley will stop running immediately to avoid accidents. The design of the emergency stop button 14 ensures that it is short-circuited instantly when pressed, and the open circuit is restored after releasing, so that the system can be restarted quickly. After the system stops, check and solve the cause of the emergency, and after ensuring that the problem is solved, press the start-stop button 13 again to restart the trolley.

[0068] Furthermore, the explosion-proof motor drives the driving wheel through the transmission chain to make the trolley start to move. The driven wheel provides stable support to ensure the stability of the trolley during movement. The moving speed range is 0.1m / s to 2m / s.

[0069] During the movement, the position sensor 32 records the movement route and trajectory of the car in real time and transmits the data to the controller. At the same time, the obstacle sensor 31 continuously monitors the surrounding environment to prevent collision. That is, during the process of the mobile monitoring device scanning the environment in real time, the obstacle sensor 31 scans the surrounding environment in real time, records the position, shape and size information of the obstacle, and transmits the data to the controller.

[0070] In S5, if the obstacle sensor 31 detects an obstacle ahead, the system will automatically trigger the obstacle avoidance program. According to the set algorithm, the path is replanned to avoid the obstacle. The obstacle avoidance reaction time should be between 200ms and 1s. During the obstacle avoidance process, the information indicator light 16 and the loudspeaker 15 send out warning signals to remind the surrounding people to pay attention and ensure safety.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the controller automatically calculates the optimal driving path or replans the path to avoid obstacles using the Dijkstra algorithm, the A* algorithm or the PID controller.

[0072] How the sensor works: Obstacle sensors 31 are usually based on ultrasonic or lidar technology. Ultrasonic sensors measure distance by sending ultrasonic pulses and receiving the reflected signal. The formula is:

[0073] Where d is the distance from the obstacle to the sensor, t is the round trip time, and v is the speed of sound.

[0074] Shortest path algorithm: Commonly used path planning algorithms include Dijkstra algorithm or A* algorithm, which calculate the shortest path to avoid obstacles based on the obstacle positions detected by sensors and map information.

[0075] Dijkstra algorithm: Calculates the shortest path from the starting point to the end point, iterating based on the distance and weight between nodes. Its basic formula is:

[0076] d(v)=min{d(v),d(u)+w(u,v)}

[0077] Among them, d(v) is the shortest path distance from the starting point to node v, d(u) is the shortest path distance from the starting point to node u, and w(u,v) is the weight between node u and node v.

[0078] A* algorithm: Combined with the heuristic function to speed up the path search, the formula is:

[0079] f(n)=g(n)+h(n)

[0080] Among them, g(n) is the actual cost from the starting point to node n, and h(n) is the estimated cost from node n to the target node.

[0081] Control strategy

[0082] PID controller: used to adjust the speed and direction of the car to ensure that it moves along the planned path.

[0083]

[0084] Where e(t) is the deviation (the difference between the target path and the current position), K p , K i , K d are the proportional, integral, and differential coefficients.

[0085] The application of these theoretical methods and formulas in the automatic obstacle avoidance system can effectively help the car dynamically adjust its path according to the surrounding environment to ensure the safe and efficient completion of the handling task.

[0086] In S6, after the trolley reaches the target position, the system will complete the operation according to the set task, such as unloading the thin plate, unloading the thin plate from the rack, checking whether the thin plate is intact, and further processing or handling as needed. The information indicator 16 will indicate the current status. After completing the task, the trolley can automatically return to the starting position or wait for the next task instruction.

[0087] In S8, after the task is completed, the start-stop button 13 is pressed to turn off the car and disconnect the power interface. The technician regularly maintains the car and checks the operating status of each component, especially the battery power and status, the accuracy of the sensor, and the working condition of the explosion-proof motor and the driving wheel. The control panel 11 is checked and the software is updated to ensure stable and reliable system operation.

[0088] After the introduction of the automated transport trolley, the handling efficiency of the sheet metal production workshop has been significantly improved, greatly reducing the physical labor of workers, while improving the safety and accuracy of production operations. The trolley can operate autonomously in a busy working environment, and the intelligent obstacle avoidance function effectively protects the safety of equipment and workers, making the production process smoother and more controllable.

[0089] This automated transport vehicle not only meets the needs of ship sheet production workshops for efficient and safe operations, but also demonstrates the application prospects of automation and intelligent technologies in modern manufacturing. Through technological innovation and system integration, shipbuilding plants can effectively cope with the challenges of complex production environments and improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0090] The working process of the present invention is as follows: the module transport trolley of the ship thin plate production platform includes a main body 1, a control panel 11 is provided on the main body 1 to control the trolley, a moving device is provided in the main body 1 to drive the trolley to move, and a mobile monitoring device and a power monitoring device are also provided on the main body 1 to monitor the movement of the main body 1, and transmit the data to the controller. The controller plans the driving route of the ship thin plate transport trolley through the data of the monitoring mechanism 3, so as to avoid obstacles during driving and deliver the thin plates to the destination, thereby completing the automatic transportation of the thin plates in the ship production process.

[0091] In summary, an embodiment of the present invention provides a module transport trolley for a ship thin plate production platform and a method of using the same, which uses a monitoring mechanism 3 that can monitor the environment and its own position in real time, and then provides high-precision path planning and obstacle avoidance functions through a controller, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the trolley in the complex environment of ship production, improving work efficiency, reducing manual intervention, and reducing labor intensity and production costs.

[0092] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
