The embodiments of this invention will now be described according to its overall structure.

[0017] Example 1:

[0018] Please see Figure 1This invention discloses an automatic roller-changing AGV device for the textile industry, comprising a frame 1; wheels 14 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the frame 1 by bolts; a fabric cutting frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 1; a fabric pressing rod 3 for pressing fabric is fixedly mounted on the fabric cutting frame 2; a fabric pressing strip 4 is fixedly mounted at the driving end of the fabric pressing rod 3; a fabric cutting knife 5 for cutting fabric is fixedly mounted on the top side of the fabric pressing strip 4; a rotating frame motor 7 for driving is fixedly mounted on the right side of the frame 1 by bolts, and a rotating frame gear 10 is fixedly mounted at the driving end of the rotating frame motor 7, and a synchronous belt for transmission is provided on the rotating frame gear 10, and a rotating frame gear 10 is also provided at the other end of the synchronous belt; a rotating frame on one side of the synchronous belt. Gear 10 is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft of receiving roller plate 8; receiving roller plate 8 is rotatably installed on the left and right walls inside the frame 1, and a guide roller 9 is fixedly installed on the opposite sides of the two sets of receiving roller plates 8 by bolts; a rotating groove is provided at the front and rear ends of the receiving roller plate 8, and a first gear 11 and a second gear 15 are rotatably installed on the rotating grooves of the two sets of receiving roller plates 8 inside the frame 1 respectively; a U-shaped groove is also opened at the front and rear ends of the receiving roller plate 8, and an empty roller 6 is slidably arranged inside the front and rear U-shaped grooves of the receiving roller plate 8, and an electromagnetic lock 19 is fixedly installed inside the U-shaped groove; the electromagnetic lock 19 has a limiting effect on the empty roller 6 when it locks, and the gears on the empty roller 6 mesh with the first gear 11 and the second gear 15 respectively.

[0019] A roller drive motor 17 is fixedly installed on the left side of the frame 1 by bolts, and the end of the drive shaft of the roller drive motor 17 is fixedly connected to the third gear 16 and the fourth gear 18 respectively; the third gear 16 and the fourth gear 18 are each provided with two sets and connected by a synchronous belt, and the central shafts of the third gear 16 and the fourth gear 18 are both inserted and fixed to the center of the second gear 15.

[0020] A Velcro strap is also provided on the empty roller 6, and the Velcro strap is attached to the fabric 12; the fabric 12 is wound up by the empty roller 6 to form the finished bundle 13.

[0021] The pressing rod 3 is telescopically mounted on the cutting frame 2. The pressing strip 4 at its end has an arc-shaped structure that matches the outer contour of the empty roller 6, and is used to press the fabric 12 on the empty roller 6 before cutting. The cutting knife 5 is fixedly mounted on the top side of the pressing strip 4 and moves together with the pressing strip 4 to complete the cutting operation.

[0022] The roller drive motor 17 drives two sets of third gears 16 and two sets of fourth gears 18 to rotate synchronously via a synchronous belt. The central shafts of the third gears 16 and the fourth gears 18 are inserted and fixed to the central shaft of the second gear 15. Thus, when the gear on the empty roller 6 meshes with the second gear 15, the empty roller 6 is driven to rotate to perform the cloth winding operation.

[0023] The working principle of an automated roller-changing AGV device for the textile industry, based on the above, is as follows:

[0024] The AGV moves to the work station via wheels 14 at the bottom of the frame 1. First, it performs a roller picking operation: the rotating frame motor 7 drives the rotating frame gear 10 via a synchronous belt, which in turn drives the receiving roller plate 8 fixed thereto to rotate, so that the first gear 11 on the receiving roller plate 8 precisely meshes with the gear on the finished bundled cloth 13. Then, the electromagnetic lock 19 in the U-shaped groove of the receiving roller plate 8 locks the roller of the finished bundled cloth 13, completing the picking, and the AGV can then carry the finished bundled cloth 13 out.

[0025] Subsequently, the roller changing and fabric cutting are performed: the rotating frame motor 7 is driven again, and the two sets of receiving roller plates 8 are rotated 180 degrees through synchronous belt transmission, exchanging the position of the finished bundled fabric 13 that has been removed from the top with the empty roller 6 prepared below; when the empty roller 6 is rotated to the lower working position, the Velcro on its surface is attached to the starting end of the fabric 12 from the rolling machine; then, the retractable pressing rod 3 on the cutting frame 2 is activated, driving the pressing strip 4 with an arc-shaped structure at its end to press down, pressing the fabric 12 on the empty roller 6; at the same time, the cutting knife 5 fixed to the top side of the pressing strip 4 moves accordingly, and completes the cutting of the fabric under the pressing state, so that the fabric 12 is separated from the upstream;

[0026] After the fabric cutting is completed, the process enters the roller feeding and synchronous fabric winding stage: the AGV carries the empty roller 6, which has been attached to the end of the fabric, towards the fabric winding machine; at the same time, the roller drive motor 17 starts, driving the two sets of third gears 16 and fourth gears 18 to rotate synchronously via the synchronous belt; since the central shafts of the third gears 16 and fourth gears 18 are inserted and fixed to the central shaft of the second gear 15 on the receiving roller plate 8, the power can be transmitted to the second gear 15; the gears at both ends of the empty roller 6 mesh with the first gear 11 and the second gear 15 respectively, so under the drive of the second gear 15, the empty roller 6 begins to rotate, realizing the function of the empty roller 6 synchronously winding the fabric 12 during the AGV's movement; during this time, the finished bundle of fabric 13 located above can also be wound up with the remaining fabric if necessary;

[0027] Finally, storage and reset are performed: After the empty roller 6 is fed into the fabric winding machine and starts winding the fabric independently, the AGV exits and drives the rotating frame again to rotate the finished bundle of fabric 13 to the bottom and transport it to the designated fabric storage rack for storage; then, the AGV can take another new empty roller 6 and place it on the roller receiving plate 8, ready to perform the next roller replacement operation cycle.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] Please see Figure 2This invention provides a method for the practical application of an automatic roll-changing AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) device in the textile industry. It further includes a fabric winding machine mounted on the side of the AGV device and a circular weft machine mounted on the fabric winding machine. After the empty roller of the fabric winding machine completes a predetermined amount of fabric winding, one end of the rotating frame in the AGV device picks up the finished bundle of fabric 13. After completion, the AGV device retracts and then rotates the rotating frame so that the finished bundle of fabric 13 is on top. Simultaneously, the empty roller 6 prepared on the AGV device rotates to the bottom, and the Velcro on the empty roller 6 attaches to the fabric 12. Further, the fabric is then cut by the fabric cutting frame 2... The fabric cutting mechanism, consisting of the pressing rod 3, the pressing strip 4, and the cutting knife 5, cuts the fabric between the finished bundle 13 and the empty roller 6 on the empty roller 6. After the cutting is completed, the automatic roller-changing AGV equipment sends the empty roller 6 into the winding machine. During the roller feeding process, the automatic roller-changing AGV equipment moves and controls the empty roller 6 to wind the fabric. At the same time, the finished bundle 13 completes the winding of excess fabric 12. After the empty roller 6 is sent into the winding machine, the automatic roller-changing AGV equipment exits, turns the finished bundle 13 to the bottom and sends it to the designated storage rack, and takes an empty roller 6 to prepare for the replacement of the next finished bundle 13, thus forming an automated production line.

[0030] This invention provides an improved AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) for the textile industry, integrating roller picking, changing, cutting, and rolling functions into the AGV. This achieves full automation and continuity of the rolling process, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs and intensity. Its unique rotary exchange mechanism and precise gear meshing design ensure the accuracy and reliability of roller picking, unloading, and station interchange. The innovative walking rolling function optimizes the production cycle and shortens the preparation time of the rolling machine.
