[0002] AGV forklift refers to a transport vehicle equipped with an automatic guiding device such as an electromagnetic or optical device, which can travel along a specified guiding path and has a carrying function. With the rapid development of science and technology, the limitations of traditional manual forklifts in efficiency, accuracy and labor cost are increasingly prominent. AGV forklifts are widely used due to their advantages of high-precision navigation, dynamic path planning and multi-scenario adaptability. For example, in complex environments such as e-commerce warehouses, flexible manufacturing production lines and port terminals, AGV forklifts have expanded their load capacity from light shelf handling to heavy pallet transfer, and achieved large-scale cluster operations through multi-vehicle coordination technology.
[0003] The existing AGV forklifts, when working, insert two forks into the fork holes of the pallet, and then lift and transfer the pallet and goods. Due to the difference in goods stacking, after the forks are inserted into the fork holes of the pallet and the pallet is lifted, the center of gravity of the pallet and goods is prone to deviation, resulting in inconsistent pressure on the two sides of the forks and the risk of goods overturning. Moreover, since the size of the forks is smaller than the size of the fork holes, the actual contact and support area between the forks and the pallet is small, which easily causes deformation at the contact position between the pallet and the forks, making it difficult to maintain the horizontal plane of the pallet and affecting the stability of the transfer process. The information disclosed in the background section of this application is only intended to enhance the understanding of the general background of the application, and should not be considered as recognition or suggestion that this information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an automated AGV forklift. The vehicle body 100 is equipped with two liftable forks 101, which are parallel to each other in the length direction. The forks 101 are equipped with a circulating conveying assembly 200 that can run along its width direction. When the forks 101 are inserted into the fork holes 103 of the pallet 102 along their length direction and lift the pallet 102 and the goods, the circulating conveying assembly 200 runs to move the pallet 102 and the goods along the width direction of the forks 101. The forks 101 are equipped with an adjusting assembly 300, which is used to adjust the size of the contact between the circulating conveying assembly 200 and the forks 101 in the width direction of the forks 101.
[0022] When the forks 101 are inserted into the fork holes 103 of the pallet 102 and lift the pallet 102 and the goods, the upper surface of the circulating conveying assembly 200 is in contact with the pallet 102 and drives the pallet 102 and the goods to move along the width direction of the forks 101, so as to adjust the center of gravity of the pallet 102 and the goods, avoid the center of gravity of the pallet 102 and the goods from being deviated, make the pressure borne by the two forks 101 consistent, and reduce the risk of overturning of the goods; the adjusting assembly 300 increases the size of the circulating conveying assembly 200 in contact with the forks 101 in the width direction of the forks 101, improves the actual contact and support area of the forks 101 with the pallet 102, reduces the deformation of the contact position of the pallet 102 with the forks 101, makes the plane of the pallet 102 maintain horizontal, and ensures the stability in the transfer process.

The structure and working mode of the AGV forklift are prior art, which will not be described here.
[0024] The circulating conveying assembly 200 is a closed chain structure at both ends, which can be a chain 201 or a belt and other structures that can circulate, and is preferably a chain 201 in a ring shape and sleeved on the forks 101.
[0025] Preferably, referring to Figure 6 The forks 101 are provided with a pressure detection module 202 for detecting the pressure value of the pallet 102 applied to the forks 101. When the pressure values applied by the pallet 102 to the two forks 101 are different, the circulating conveying assembly 200 operates to move the pallet 102 and the goods along the width direction of the forks 101 to the fork 101 with the smaller pressure value.
[0026] According to the pressure difference of the two forks 101 caused by the pallet 102 and the goods, and through the circulating conveying assembly 200, the pallet 102 and the goods are moved to the fork 101 with the smaller pressure value, so as to adjust the center of gravity of the pallet 102 and the goods, make the center of gravity of the pallet 102 and the goods repositioned at the midpoint of the perpendicular line of the two forks 101, avoid the center of gravity of the pallet 102 and the goods from being deviated, make the pressure borne by the two forks 101 consistent, and reduce the risk of overturning of the goods.
[0027] Wherein, each fork 101 is provided with multiple pressure detection modules 202 at equal intervals along the length direction of the fork 101, and is connected with the control system. For one fork 101, the multiple pressure detection modules 202 acquire the pressure value of the pallet 102 and the goods applied to the current fork 101, and send the average value to the control system. The control system compares the pressure average values corresponding to the two forks 101, and if there is a difference, it indicates that the center of gravity of the current pallet 102 and the goods is skewed, and the circulating conveying assembly 200 is operated to adjust the center of gravity of the pallet 102 and the goods. Figure 6 It is shown in FIG. 4 that only one pressure detection module 202 is provided on each fork 101.

[0029] The relative movement of the two adjusting rollers 301 in the width direction of the fork 101 can be controlled to adjust the size of the contact between the circulating conveying assembly 200 and the fork 101 in the width direction of the fork 101.
[0030] Preferably, the two adjusting rollers 301 can move in the width direction of the fork 101. Of course, one of the adjusting rollers 301 can move, and the other adjusting roller 301 can be stationary.

[0032] Preferably, the circulating conveying assembly 200 is provided with multiple contact blocks 203 at equal intervals along the running direction of the circulating conveying assembly 200, the contact blocks 203 run synchronously with the circulating conveying assembly 200 in the width direction of the fork 101, and when the fork 101 is inserted into the fork hole 103 of the pallet 102 along the length direction of the fork 101 and lifts the pallet 102 and the goods, the contact blocks 203 contact the pallet 102.
[0033] The circulating conveying assembly 200 comprises a plurality of chains 201 arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the fork 101, and a contact block 203 is connected between two chains 201, that is, the chains 201 and the contact blocks 203 are arranged alternately, and the length direction of the contact block 203 is consistent with the length direction of the fork 101. See Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9 One of the mounting plates 304 extends downward and is provided with a motor 305, the motor 305 is provided with a corresponding power supply and a controller, the controller is connected with the control system, the output end of the motor 305 rotates through the mounting plate 304 and is fixed with a first gear 306, the first gear 306 is engaged with a second gear 307, a first rotating shaft 309 is rotatably arranged on the mounting plate 304 through a bearing seat 308, the first rotating shaft 309 is fixed with the second gear 307, a plurality of sprockets 310 are fixed at equal intervals along the axial direction of the first rotating shaft 309, the sprockets 310 are engaged with the corresponding chains 201 for transmission, so as to drive the chains 201 and the contact blocks 203 to run along the width direction of the fork 101. In addition, see Figure 10 The inner side of the contact block 203 is provided with a guide block 311, and the fork 101 is provided with a guide groove 312 matched with the guide block 311 along the width direction of the fork 101, so as to further limit the running of the chains 201 and the contact blocks 203, and the guide block 311 on the inner side of the contact block 203 can abut against the outer surface of the adjusting roller 301.
[0034] The two ends of the fork 101 are provided with telescopic members 313, which can be structures such as air cylinders or hydraulic cylinders, and corresponding air sources or hydraulic sources and controllers are arranged, the controller is connected with the control system, so as to control the start and stop. The fixed end of the telescopic member 313 is fixed with the fork 101, the telescopic end of the telescopic member 313 is fixed with a connecting shaft 314 in the middle of the mounting plate 304, the mounting plate 304 is vertically provided with an adjusting groove 315, and the two ends of the fork 101 are provided with guide bolts 316 which slide relative to the adjusting groove 315. The two ends of the adjusting roller 301 are rotatably provided with second rotating shafts 317, the connecting shaft 314 and the second rotating shafts 317 are provided with telescopic push rods 318, both ends of the telescopic push rod 318 are telescopic ends, and the inside is provided with a compression spring. When the telescopic end of the telescopic member 313 is telescoped, the mounting plate 304 is vertically slid along the guide bolt 316 through the connecting shaft 314, and the two second rotating shafts 317, the cross plate 303 and the adjusting roller 301 are relatively moved in the width direction of the fork 101 through the telescopic push rod 318. It is worth mentioning that the control system can control the start and stop of the motor 305 and the telescopic member 313, and control the movement of the vehicle body 100 and the lifting of the fork 101, so as to realize the path planning and action coordination, and the specific connection and implementation manner are prior art, which will not be described here.
[0035] In addition, when one of the adjusting rollers 301 and the chain 201 and the contact block 203 outside the adjusting roller 301 move to abut against one of the inner side walls of the fork hole 103, the telescopic member 313 continues to operate, the compression spring in the telescopic push rod 318 is compressed, and the current adjusting roller 301 stops moving until the other adjusting roller 301 and the chain 201 and the contact block 203 outside the adjusting roller 301 move to abut against the other inner side wall of the fork hole 103. Therefore, the distance by which the two adjusting rollers 301 and the chain 201 and the contact block 203 outside the adjusting rollers 301 extend relative to the fork 101 can be inconsistent, but the contact area of the chain 201 and the contact block 203 with the corresponding fork 101 is consistent, and is the distance between the two inner side walls of the fork hole 103 in the width direction of the fork 101.
[0036] Preferably, the preset number of contact blocks 203 are provided with cleaning members 204.
[0037] When the fork 101 is inserted into the fork hole 103 of the pallet 102 along the length direction of the fork 101, the fork 101 is controlled to rise and enable the cleaning member 204 to contact the inner top wall of the fork hole 103, and then the circulating conveying assembly 200 is controlled to operate, so that the cleaning member 204 is in sliding contact with the contact surface of the pallet 102, i.e., the inner top wall of the fork hole 103, to clean the contact surface, thereby avoiding the formation of a lubricating layer of dust and other dirt on the inner top wall of the fork hole 103, and thus avoiding the sliding of the pallet 102 relative to the fork 101, and ensuring the stability of the transfer process.
[0038] The cleaning member 204 is made of a soft material, which can be a cleaning brush, and is arranged between the two chains 201 instead of one section of the contact block 203. Of course, the cleaning member 204 can also be a cleaning roller, and the surface of the cleaning roller is provided with an adhesive layer. When the circulating conveying assembly 200 operates, the cleaning member 204 is in rolling contact with the inner top wall of the fork hole 103, and cleans the contact surface of the pallet 102 through the adhesive layer, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0041] For pallets 102 made of different materials, such as wood, plastic, and metal, the contact blocks 203 of different conveying sections are switched to contact the pallets 102 of corresponding materials, so that the friction coefficient between the contact block 203 and the pallet 102 remains consistent, thereby balancing the anti-skid performance between the contact block 203 and the pallet 102 and avoiding the jamming of the two, while ensuring the stability of the transfer process.
[0042] Wherein, for the wooden pallet 102, the friction coefficient of the contact block 203 in the corresponding conveying section is reduced in a way of smoothing treatment such as polishing or additional spraying of a coating with low friction coefficient.

[0043] Preferably, the pallet 101 is provided with a tensioning roller 319 for keeping the circulating conveying assembly 200 tensioned.
[0044] Preferably, the tensioning roller 319 abuts against the outer side of the circulating conveying assembly 200.

In addition, when the mounting plate 304 vertically slides along the guide bolt 316, the third rotating shafts 320 and the tensioning roller 319 are driven by the fixed shafts 321 and the tension springs 324 to move correspondingly towards or away from one side of the circulating conveying assembly 200, so that the circulating conveying assembly 200 keeps a certain degree of tension, avoiding being too loose or too tight to affect the operation.

[0048] Wherein, the protective cover 322 is fixed to the pallet 101 by bolts and I-beams 323.
[0049] In use, the motor 305 can be controlled according to the needs to drive the first gear 306 to rotate, drive the second gear 307, the first rotating shaft 309 and the chain wheel 310 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the chain 201 and the contact block 203 to run along the width direction of the pallet 101, that is, the circulating conveying assembly 200 runs, while the tensioning roller 319 ensures that the circulating conveying assembly 200 keeps a certain degree of tension.
[0050] The vehicle body 100 is moved to the corresponding position of the pallet 102, and the forks 101 are inserted into the fork holes 103 of the pallet 102 along the length direction of the forks 101, the forks 101 are controlled to rise and make the cleaning member 204 contact the inner top wall of the fork hole 103, and the circulating conveying assembly 200 is controlled to operate, so that the cleaning member 204 is in sliding contact with the inner top wall of the fork hole 103 to clean the inner top wall of the fork hole 103, thereby avoiding that dirt such as dust forms a lubricating layer on the inner top wall of the fork hole 103, and thus avoiding that the pallet 102 slides relative to the forks 101, and ensuring the stability of the transfer process.
[0051] The forks 101 are controlled to rise to lift the pallet 102 and the goods, the pressure value of the pallet 102 applied to the forks 101 is detected by the pressure detection module 202, when the pressure values applied to the two forks 101 are different, the circulating conveying assembly 200 is controlled to continue to operate, so that the pallet 102 and the goods move along the width direction of the forks 101 to the fork 101 with the smaller pressure value, to adjust the center of gravity of the pallet 102 and the goods, so that the center of gravity of the pallet 102 and the goods is located at the midpoint of the vertical line of the two forks 101 again, avoiding that the center of gravity of the pallet 102 and the goods is inclined, so that the pressure applied to the two forks 101 is consistent, and the risk of overturning of the goods is reduced.
[0052] The telescopic end of the telescopic member 313 is controlled to extend downward, the mounting plate 304 is driven by the connecting shaft 314 to slide vertically downward along the guide bolt 316, and the two second rotating shafts 317, the cross plate 303 and the adjusting roller 301 are driven by the telescopic push rod 318 to move away from each other in the width direction of the forks 101, so as to increase the size of the contact between the circulating conveying assembly 200 and the forks 101 in the width direction of the forks 101, improve the actual contact and support area of the forks 101 and the pallet 102, reduce the deformation of the contact position between the pallet 102 and the forks 101, so that the plane of the pallet 102 is maintained horizontal, and the stability of the transfer process is ensured.
