[0002] At present, various types of AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicle, AGV for short) have been widely used in logistics warehousing transfer sites and automated production sites. AGV has the functional characteristics of omnidirectional driving and plays an increasingly important role in material turnover and transportation.

[0003] AGV can be used to transfer caged vehicles that store bulk logistics goods in a centralized manner. AGV can carry and transport caged vehicles and accurately and efficiently transfer them to designated workstations or docking equipment. However, during the AGV's caged vehicle pick-up and placement operations, due to the limitations of caged vehicle positioning accuracy and path planning, manual assistance is often required for temporary storage and placement of caged vehicles. The existing technology of manually assisting caged vehicles in transfer operations is not only labor-intensive and has low transportation efficiency, but also poses certain safety hazards.

[0004] In view of this, this patent application is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The multi-station cage car ground guide temporary storage device described in the utility model aims to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art and proposes a ground temporary storage device that can guide multiple groups of cage cars to be placed correctly in sequence and realize accurate coordination and docking with AGV, so as to significantly improve the transfer efficiency of cage cars, reduce labor costs and reduce human burden, and correspondingly improve operational safety.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned design purpose, the multi-station cage car ground-guided temporary storage device includes a group of tracks arranged vertically above the ground. The tracks are divided into an entrance part and a parallel track part in an outward trumpet shape that are fixedly connected in sequence. An intermediate blocking part is connected to the middle of the parallel track part, and an end gate is connected to the tail of the parallel track part.

[0007] Furthermore, the track is fixed vertically above the ground by means of a plurality of expansion bolts, and the angle of the flared portion of the entrance portion is 30°-50°.

[0008] Furthermore, the left and right parts of the track are installed symmetrically and the spacing between them can be 1 to 1.5 times the cross-sectional width of the cage wheel body.

[0009] Furthermore, a plurality of adjustment slots are provided at the bottom of the middle blocking portion of the track, a group of middle limit blocks are embedded in at least one of the adjustment slots, and the middle limit blocks can be selectively embedded in any one of the adjustment slots.

[0010] Furthermore, at least one side surface of the middle limiting block has an inclined surface with a certain slope.

[0011] Furthermore, the terminal gate includes two gate slots arranged in a straight line at the end of a group of tracks, one end of the gate swing arm is hinged to one side of the track through a rotating shaft, and the middle part of the gate swing arm is respectively embedded in the two gate slots.

[0012] As mentioned above, the multi-station cage car ground guide temporary storage device proposed in this application has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. The ground-guided temporary storage device proposed in this application has multiple groups of cage car pick-up and placement stations, so as to have accurate and efficient docking, pick-up and placement operation areas with AGV, and realize fully automatic cage car temporary storage and transfer functions without manual assistance. It has a high degree of automation and significantly improves the logistics efficiency of cage car batch transportation of goods.

[0014] 2. The ground-guided temporary storage device proposed in this application has both quick positioning and AGV high-efficiency passing performance. It is compatible with the temporary storage operations of cage cars of different specifications under entrance guidance, which saves space and facilitates the picking and placing procedures.

[0015] 3. The ground-guided temporary storage device proposed in this application has an entrance designed as a 30-50° trumpet mouth, which facilitates the cage car to enter the guide device smoothly, reduces the jamming or deviation from the track caused by too large or too small angle, and makes the temporary storage operation safe and reliable.

[0016] 4. The ground-guided temporary storage device proposed in this application has a sloped middle blocking part, which can not only limit the wheel body, but also allow the cage car to pass through with a slight push. It also has an adjustable position function to adapt to cage cars of different sizes.

[0017] 5. The ground-guided temporary storage device proposed in this application adopts a gate as the end blocking part. When the cage car needs to be pushed out manually, the gate can be opened manually, and the manual operation is convenient to switch to, which significantly improves the working efficiency and has a high value for promotion and use.

[0024] Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present application proposes a novel ground-guided temporary storage device for multi-station cage cars, including a group of rails 101 arranged vertically above the ground, the rails 101 are divided into an entrance part 1 in the shape of an outward trumpet and a parallel rail part which are fixedly connected in sequence, an intermediate blocking part 2 is connected in the middle of the parallel rail part, and an end gate 3 is connected at the tail of the parallel rail part.

[0025] Among them, the track 101 is fixed vertically above the ground by several expansion bolts, and the AGV carrying the cage car 4 can drive into the bottom of the track 101, so as to transfer the cage car 4 to the track 101 through the trumpet-shaped entrance part 1. The angle of the trumpet part of the entrance part 1 can be 30°-50°.

[0026] The left and right parts of the track 101 are installed symmetrically and the spacing can be 1 to 1.5 times the cross-sectional width of the cage wheel body 41. The cage car 4 can enter and be confined in a set of tracks 101 through one side wheel body 41 so as to be completely and stably stored temporarily, waiting to be manually taken away or continued to be transported to the next workstation by the AGV.

[0027] A plurality of adjustment slots 202 are provided at the bottom of the middle blocking portion 2 of the track 101, and a group of middle limit blocks 201 are embedded in at least one of the adjustment slots 202. According to the number of temporary storage cage vehicles 4, the middle limit blocks 201 can be selectively embedded in any of the adjustment slots 202;

[0028] At least one side of the intermediate limit block 201 has an inclined surface with a certain slope. When the thrust is increased manually, the cage wheel body 41 is blocked by the inclined surface but can still pass over the intermediate limit block 201. Therefore, the intermediate limit block 201 can provide mutual spacing between the front and rear cage cars and prevent accidental retreat. Therefore, a set of tracks 101 can be used to temporarily store and park multiple groups of cage cars 4, and adjacent cage cars 4 can be spaced and positioned from each other by the intermediate limit block 201.

[0029] The end gate 3 includes two gate slots 301 arranged in a straight line at the end of a group of rails 101. One end of the gate swing arm 302 is hinged to one side of the rail 101 through a rotating shaft 303, so that the gate swing arm 302 can rotate 180° around the hinge point of the rotating shaft 303. The middle part of the gate swing arm 302 is respectively embedded in the two gate slots 301. When the cage car 4 is guided and pushed to the end of the rail 101, the cage car 4 is blocked and limited from the outside to the inside by the gate swing arm 302, so that it stops safely and stably at the end of the rail 101.

[0030] Based on the above-mentioned multi-station cage car ground guide temporary storage device, the AGV can carry and transfer the cage car 4 here during operation, and the AGV can drive under the track 101. The wheel body 41 of one side of the cage car 4 enters the track 101 through the bell-shaped part of the entrance part 1, and the cage car 4 can be manually pushed into the track. The bell-shaped entrance part is conducive to guiding the cage wheel body 41 to turn and enter;

[0031] When the cage trolley 4 is pushed to the middle of the track, the wheel body 41 will touch the middle limit block 201 and be restricted from moving forward by resistance, and can stop here; if there is still space at the end of the track 101, the thrust can be slightly increased manually, and the wheel body 41 can pass along the side slope of the middle limit block and smoothly pass over the middle limit block 201;

[0032] The gate swing arm 302 at the end of the track 101 blocks the cage car 4 from moving forward and plays the final limiting role.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the ground-guided temporary storage device proposed in this embodiment can be designed and processed to a length of 2-4 meters, so as to realize the temporary storage of at least two cage vehicles 4 at the same time. Moreover, cage vehicles 4 of different shapes and specifications can be stored by adjusting the position of the middle limit block 201. Since the cage vehicles 4 are temporarily stored in a queue and the position is relatively precise, it is particularly suitable for AGV automatic pick-up and transfer of cage vehicles.

[0034] When the cage trolley 4 needs to be pushed out manually, the operator can manually open the gate swing rod 302 to rotate it 180°. There is no obstruction in front of the cage trolley 4 and it can be pushed out manually smoothly, thereby realizing rapid operation conversion between man and machine.

[0035] By adopting the above technical solution, the multi-station cage car ground guide temporary storage device proposed in this application realizes the precise placement of cage cars and the coordinated operation of AGVs, improves logistics efficiency, and reduces labor costs. At the same time, the device has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and install, and has broad application prospects.

[0036] The above contents and the embodiments given in the accompanying drawings are only preferred solutions for achieving the purpose of the utility model. Those skilled in the art can be inspired by this and directly deduce other alternative structures that conform to the design concept of the utility model. Other structural features obtained thereby should also belong to the scope of the solution described in the utility model.
