DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0028] Example: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the utility model is a dispatching device for AGVs at intersections, including an indoor floor 1, an AGV vehicle 2 is arranged on the upper surface of the right end of the indoor floor 1, and an AGV vehicle 2 3 is arranged on the upper surface located at the front end of the indoor floor 1; a dispatching component 4 is arranged in the middle and above the upper surface of the indoor floor 1, which is used to adjust the driving order of AGV vehicle 1 2 and AGV vehicle 2 3 at the intersection; a monitoring component 5 is installed inside the upper end of the dispatching component 4, which is used to monitor the transportation environment of AGV vehicle 1 2 and AGV vehicle 2 3 in real time.

[0029] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the scheduling component 4 includes four L-shaped racks 401, the lower ends of the four L-shaped racks 401 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the upper surface of the indoor floor 1, and the ends of the four L-shaped racks 401 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to an outer frame 402. Two sets of safety gratings 1 403 are installed on the lower surfaces of the left and right ends of the outer frame 402 and the upper surfaces of the left and right ends of the indoor floor 1, and two sets of safety gratings 2 404 are installed on the lower surfaces of the front and rear ends of the outer frame 402 and the upper surfaces of the front and rear ends of the indoor floor 1; two sets of safety gratings 2 Two receiving grooves 405 are provided on the inner side of 404 and on the upper surface of the indoor floor 1, and a cylinder 406 is installed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the two receiving grooves 405, and the upper end of the cylinder 406 is fixedly connected to a driven carrier plate 407, and the driven carrier plate 407 is fixedly connected to damping sleeves 408 at the four corners of the side away from each other, and the inside of the damping sleeve 408 is fixedly connected to a shock-absorbing spring 409, and the end of the shock-absorbing spring 409 away from each other is fixedly connected to an auxiliary baffle 410 for blocking the AGV vehicle 2.

[0030] Among them, through the arrangement of the scheduling component 4, firstly, the cooperation of the safety grating 1 403 and the safety grating 2 404 can monitor the intersection where the AGV is traveling in real time. When the AGV vehicle 1 2 and the AGV vehicle 2 3 move to the detection area of ​​the safety grating 1 403 and the safety grating 2 404 at the same time, the cylinder 1 406 will automatically start. The start of the cylinder 1 406 can drive the driven carrier plate 407 and the auxiliary baffle 410 to move upward at the same time. When the auxiliary baffle 410 moves upward to the outside of the receiving slot 405, the auxiliary baffle 410 can V car 2 3 blocks and allows AGV car 2 to continue driving. When AGV car 2 moves out of the intersection, cylinder 1 406 controls the auxiliary baffle 410 to move downward to the inside of the receiving slot 405. At this time, AGV car 2 3 continues to drive. This control method can effectively avoid AGV collision at the intersection, thereby enabling AGV to transport goods normally. When AGV car 2 and AGV car 2 3 come back, the above-mentioned control method is also used to achieve the normal passage of AGV at the intersection, which effectively improves the working efficiency of AGV.

[0031] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the monitoring component 5 includes an inner frame plate 501, and the four sides of the inner frame plate 501 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer frame frame 402 through straight rods. A cylinder 2 502 is installed in the middle of the upper surface of the inner frame plate 501, and two external matching plates 503 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the lower surface of the inner frame plate 501, and the lower ends of the two external matching plates 503 are hinged with cameras 504; the opposite side of the camera 504 is fixedly connected with an external block 505, the lower end of the cylinder 2 502 is fixedly connected with a driving carrier plate 506, and the four corners of the lower surface of the driving carrier plate 506 are fixedly connected with internal blocks 507, and the internal blocks 507 and the external blocks 505 near one end are hinged with the same direction cross plates 508.

[0032] Among them, through the cooperation of the scheduling component 4 and the supervision component 5, firstly, the camera 504 can monitor the driving conditions at the AGV intersection in real time. When it is detected that there is a risk of collision between AGV car 1 2 and AGV car 2 3, the AGV car 1 2 will be automatically controlled to stop operating, and the AGV car 2 3 will be allowed to operate normally. In this way, the AGV can be double-protected, thereby improving the safety of the AGV working environment. Then, the cylinder 2 502 is controlled to start. The start of the cylinder 2 502 can drive the driving carrier 506 to move downward. The driving carrier 506 moving downward can drive the end of the same-direction horizontal plate 508 that is close to move downward. The same-direction horizontal plate 508 that is close to one end moves downward, which can drive the end that is away to move in the opposite direction. The same-direction horizontal plate 508 that is away from one end moves in the opposite direction, which can drive the camera 504 to flip in the opposite direction. By flipping the camera 504, the supervision range can be increased, so that the user can observe the working environment of the AGV in real time and can conduct supervision in time, thereby improving the practicality of the entire scheduling device.

[0033] Each set of safety grating 1 403 and safety grating 2 404 is composed of an upper infrared transmitter and a lower infrared receiver, and the upper surfaces of the lower safety grating 1 403 and safety grating 2 404 are on the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the indoor floor 1.

[0034] Among them, the two sets of safety gratings 403 can detect the AGV vehicle 1 2 when it is traveling in the left and right directions, and the two sets of safety gratings 404 can detect the AGV vehicle 2 3 when it is traveling in the front and back directions.

[0035] When working, first, the cooperation of safety grating 1 403 and safety grating 2 404 can monitor the intersection where AGV is traveling in real time. When AGV car 1 2 and AGV car 2 3 move to the detection area of ​​safety grating 1 403 and safety grating 2 404 at the same time, cylinder 1 406 will automatically start. The start of cylinder 1 406 can drive the driven carrier plate 407 and the auxiliary baffle 410 to move upward at the same time. When the auxiliary baffle 410 moves upward to the outside of the receiving groove 405, the auxiliary baffle 410 can AGV car 2 3 blocks and allows AGV car 1 2 to continue to move. When AGV car 1 2 moves out of the intersection, cylinder 1 406 controls auxiliary baffle 410 to move downward to the inside of the receiving slot 405. At this time, AGV car 2 3 continues to move. This control method can effectively avoid AGV collision at the intersection, thereby enabling AGV to transport goods normally. When AGV car 1 2 and AGV car 2 3 come back, the above control method is also used to achieve the normal passage of AGV at the intersection.

[0036] Environmental supervision: First, camera 504 can monitor the driving conditions at the AGV intersection in real time. When it is detected that AGV vehicle 1 2 and AGV vehicle 2 3 have a risk of collision, AGV vehicle 1 2 will be automatically controlled to stop operating and AGV vehicle 2 3 will be allowed to operate normally. In this way, the AGV can be double-protected, which improves the safety of the AGV working environment. Then, cylinder 2 502 is controlled to start. When cylinder 2 502 is started, it can drive the driving carrier 506 to move downward. The driving carrier 506 moving downward can drive the close end of the same-direction cross plate 508 to move downward. The close end of the same-direction cross plate 508 moving downward can drive the far end to move in the opposite direction. The far end of the same-direction cross plate 508 moving in the opposite direction can drive the camera 504 to flip in the opposite direction. By flipping the camera 504, the supervision range can be increased, so that the user can observe the working environment of the AGV in real time and supervise it in time.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
