Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of AGV trolleys, and in particular to a double-lift AGV trolley. Background Art

[0002] With the development of electronic technology, the use of AGV vehicles is becoming more and more popular. Because they can automatically move along a planned route and complete a series of actions, they can not only complete transportation operations and improve efficiency, but also operate in dangerous places and are constantly being used in manufacturing, warehousing, etc.

[0003] Most factories now use double-lift or multi-lift structures to solve the problem of materials tilting or falling. If the spacing cannot be adjusted dynamically during transportation, the materials may shift or even fall due to vibration or inertia. Especially during high-speed operation or emergency stop, fixed spacing will amplify external impact and increase the risk of material sliding. For example, stacked boxes may lose support due to too large spacing, or be squeezed and deformed due to too small spacing.

[0004] During the material loading and unloading process, it cannot be guaranteed that the position of the materials being loaded and unloaded is exactly the same each time. In existing equipment, the AGV cart cannot move the loaded materials horizontally in the equipment. This may cause the materials to fall during the loading and unloading process due to the limited position of the equipment, causing damage to the equipment and materials, increasing maintenance costs and affecting work efficiency.

[0005] AGVs are prone to collisions in complex environments due to navigation errors, obstacle avoidance failures or improper human operation, which can cause damage to the body shell, sensors or drive components. It may also cause the lidar to deviate or the wheel structure to deform, further reducing positioning accuracy. Frequent maintenance will not only increase costs but also affect production continuity. Summary of the invention

[0026] The material transverse movement device 7 and the spacing adjustment device 6 are moved by a driving assembly. The driving assembly includes a driving motor 15, a lead screw 16, a coupling 17, a slide rail 18 and a support plate 19.

The traveling device 3 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 1 through the bottom plate 21. The wheel frame 23 rotates the steering shaft 22 to change the horizontal movement direction of the wheels 25. The wheels 25 are connected to the wheel frame 23 through the wheel shaft 24, so that the traveling device 3 drives the vehicle body 1 to move. The addition of the anti-collision bar 2 effectively reduces the damage to the vehicle body 1 caused by collisions during the driving of the vehicle body 1.

[0035] In summary, when the overall device is in use or operation: when the device needs to be used, the material is placed in the groove 26 of the lifting tray 14 in the first lifting device 4 and the second lifting device 5. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the first lifting device 4 and the second lifting device 5 according to the length of the material, the driving component in the distance adjusting device 6 is started to move the fixed plate 8. The movement of the fixed plate 8 causes the first lifting device 4 to move to complete the distance adjustment. When it is necessary to adjust the height at which the material is placed, the hydraulic pump 13 is started to make the piston rod 12 extend and retract in the hydraulic cylinder 11. The extension and retraction of the piston rod 12 cause the shear arm 9 to extend and retract. The movable end of the shear arm 9 slides in the chute 10 during extension and retraction to change the height of the lifting tray 14. When it is necessary to laterally move the material position for convenient loading and unloading, the driving component of the material lateral movement device 7 in the first lifting device 4 and the second lifting device 5 is started for lateral movement. The work of the driving component is that the driving motor 15 drives the coupling 17 to rotate, the coupling 17 drives the lead screw 16 to rotate, so that the fixed plate 8 or the distance adjusting device 6 connected to the lead screw 16 moves along the direction of the slide rail 18, and the support plate 19 can ensure that the fixed plate 8 and the distance adjusting device 6 do not move beyond the limit.

[0036] A driving route is planned for the equipment through the control panel 27 in the vehicle body 1. The traveling device 3 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 1 through the bottom plate 21. The wheel frame 23 rotates the steering shaft 22 to change the horizontal movement direction of the wheels 25. The wheels 25 are connected to the inside of the wheel frame 23 through the wheel axle 24, so that the traveling device 3 drives the vehicle body 1 to move. The addition of the anti-collision bar 2 effectively reduces the damage to the vehicle body 1 caused by collisions during the driving of the vehicle body 1.
