[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In this embodiment of the application, a trackless AGV transport vehicle is provided, which includes a vehicle body 10 and a storage plate 20. The support legs 21 of the storage plate 20 are inserted into the vehicle body 10. The vehicle body 10 is provided with a movable slider 24, which is configured to abut against the support legs 21 and lift the storage plate 20 vertically to the vehicle body 10 through the support legs 21.
[0018] The vehicle body 10 refers to the main body of the trackless AGV transport vehicle. The vehicle body 10 includes moving wheels 11, which are used to drive the vehicle body 10 to move.
[0019] The shelf 20 refers to the support structure used to place goods. The shelf 20 is connected to the vehicle body 10 and moves with the vehicle body 10 to complete the handling of goods.
[0020] The storage panel 20 is connected to the vehicle body 10 via the support leg 21. The support leg 21 allows the storage panel 20 to move vertically perpendicular to the vehicle body 10. The slider 24 is located inside the vehicle body 10, and the movement of the slider 24 can push the support leg 21 to move along its own axis, thereby causing the storage panel 20 to be lifted relative to the vehicle body 10.
[0021] When the storage tray 20 is raised above the top surface of the vehicle body 10, the storage tray 20 can lift the goods and complete the automatic picking of the goods; when the storage tray 20 is lowered into the vehicle body 10, the storage tray 20 is separated from the goods and completes the automatic unloading of the goods.
[0022] The trackless AGV transport vehicle provided in this application embodiment lifts the storage plate 20 by the contact between the slider 24 and the support leg 21, which can complete the automatic picking and placing of goods.
[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a storage slot 12 is provided on the top surface of the vehicle body 10. The storage slot 12 is used to store the shelf 20. When the shelf 20 is completely inserted into the storage slot 12, the top surface of the shelf 20 is flush with the top surface of the vehicle body 10.
[0024] Multiple positioning holes 13 are provided at the bottom of the storage slot 12. The positioning holes 13 correspond one-to-one with the legs 21 of the shelf 20. The positioning holes 13 are used to insert the legs 21. For example, the positioning holes 13 are constructed as circular holes, and the diameter of the positioning holes 13 is equal to the outer diameter of the legs 21. When the four legs 21 of the shelf 20 are inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 13, the plant board 20 as a whole remains parallel to the top surface of the vehicle body 10 and the storage slot 12. The insertion and engagement of the positioning holes 13 and the legs 21 are used to ensure the horizontal state of the shelf 20.
[0025] The outrigger 21 can move along the axial direction of the positioning hole 13, so that the storage plate 20 can move up and down relative to the vehicle body 10.
[0026] Below the positioning hole 13, there is also a limiting hole 14. The limiting hole 14 is connected and communicates with the positioning hole 13. As an example, the limiting hole 14 is constructed as a rectangular hole. A limiting block 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support leg 21. The limiting block 23 is fitted into the limiting block 14 in a suitable shape. The limiting block 23 can move along the axial direction of the positioning hole 13 inside the limiting hole 14. A spring 22 is compressed between the top surface of the limiting block 23 and the bottom of the limiting hole 14. The spring 22 is sleeved on the outside of the support leg 21. The spring 22 is used to push the support leg 21 to move into the positioning hole 13, thereby ensuring that the shelf 20 can be stored in the storage slot 12.
[0027] It should be noted that a pad 27 is fixed to the bottom surface of the storage plate 20. When the pad 27 contacts the bottom of the storage slot 12, the top surface of the storage plate 20 is flush with the top surface of the vehicle body 10.
[0028] The lower end of the limiting block 23 has an arc-shaped abutment end 231, which is used to form a sliding abutment engagement with the slider 24.
[0029] A mounting groove 15 is provided on the vehicle body 10 below the limiting hole 14. A rotatable screw 25 is provided inside the mounting groove 15, and one end of the screw 25 is connected to a motor 26 installed inside the vehicle body 10. The motor 26 is used to drive the screw 25 to rotate. The slider 24 is screwed onto the screw 25, and the slider 24 and the mounting groove 15 form a sliding engagement to prevent the slider 24 from rotating synchronously with the screw 25, so that the slider 24 is only allowed to move in the mounting groove 15 along the axial direction of the screw 25.
[0030] The top surface of the sliding block 24 has a slope 241, which is used to form a sliding contact engagement with the abutting end 231 of the limiting block 23.
[0031] It should be noted that when the screw 25 rotates in the forward direction, causing the slider 24 to continuously approach the limiting block 23, the slope 241 will push the abutment end 231 to move upward, thereby pushing the support leg 21 to move upward, and finally pushing the storage plate 20 to lift onto the vehicle body 10; when the screw 25 rotates in the reverse direction, causing the slider 24 to continuously disengage from the limiting block 23, the spring 22 will push the limiting block 23 to move downward, thereby driving the support leg 21 to move downward, and finally storing the storage plate 20 inside the storage slot 12.
[0032] During pickup, the trackless AGV is moved to the pickup location, and the goods are lifted by raising the storage platform to complete the automatic pickup. During unloading, the trackless AGV is moved to the unloading location, and the goods are placed on the unloading platform by lowering the storage platform to complete the automatic unloading. Both the pickup and unloading locations are higher than the trackless AGV.
[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
