Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent warehousing and transportation, and more specifically to an automatic correction mechanism device for connecting a conveyor line. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing application of lighthouse factories and smart warehouses, AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) has gradually replaced manual handling of objects. Its operation path and destination can be controlled by management programs, it has strong mobility, and its route changes are relatively convenient and flexible, with low setup costs. However, in the prior art, the use of AGV is not absolutely accurate. In actual operation, it is still prone to problems such as inaccurate positioning, angle tilt, and object jamming when the conveyor line is connected. In order to improve these problems, the commonly used method is to add a guide plate at the docking position of the AGV to adjust the AGV's inaccurate positioning and angle tilt. However, adding a guide plate will not only increase the manufacturing and development costs, but also interfere with the operation of the AGV in specific application scenarios, which can easily lead to reduced production efficiency.
