[0023] Embodiment

[0024] As Figures 1-3 shown, an automatic handling AGV automatic guided vehicle includes an AGV automatic guided vehicle body 1;

[0025] Two sets of lifting and handling components 2 are assembled on the AGV automatic guided vehicle body 1; A cargo handling platform 3 is assembled on the sides of the two sets of lifting and handling components 2;

[0026] A cargo guiding component 6 is assembled on the upper end surface of the cargo handling platform 3;

[0027] Among them, the lifting and handling component 2 includes a counterweight seat 21 arranged on the side of the AGV automatic guided vehicle body 1. A regulating seat 22 is vertically arranged on the counterweight seat 21. A threaded lead screw 24 is rotatably arranged in the regulating seat 22. A lead screw nut 25 is externally engaged with the threaded lead screw 24. A slider seat 26 is sleeved outside the lead screw nut 25. A connecting plate 27 is connected to the side of the slider seat 26 and a positioning plate 28 is connected through the connecting plate 27;

[0028] The cargo handling platform 3 is installed on the side of the positioning plate 28 and is connected thereto; The cargo guiding component 6 includes four positioning beams 61 arranged in parallel on the upper end surface of the cargo handling platform 3 in sequence; Among them, two adjacent positioning beams 61 are set as a group, and a number of deep groove ball bearings 62 are assembled on the opposite sides of the two groups of positioning beams 61; A guiding roller 63 is rotatably arranged between two adjacent deep groove ball bearings 62 facing each other.

[0029] In this embodiment, during actual use, when an operator guides goods onto the goods handling platform 3, the goods guiding wheels 64 and guiding rollers 63 on the goods handling platform 3 can guide the goods, thus driving the goods to enter onto the several goods guiding wheels 64 more quickly. At this time, through the mutual cooperation of the goods guiding assembly 6 and the goods handling platform 3, stable loading of the goods can be achieved. And through the lifting and handling assembly 2 to control the lifting movement of the goods handling platform 3, automatic handling of the goods can ultimately be realized. Compared with the automatic guided vehicle in the cited document, the AGV automatic guided vehicle body 1 of the present application can automatically handle between shelves or workbenches at different heights, so as to directly handle the loading and unloading of goods at high places, solving the height limitation problem of traditional AGVs, reducing the need for manual handling at the same time, thus reducing labor costs and also reducing the safety risks brought by manual operation.

[0030] Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , the lifting and handling assembly 2 further includes a ball bearing seat 23 arranged in the adjusting seat 22. A bearing member is assembled in the ball bearing seat 23 and is rotationally matched with the bottom end of the threaded lead screw 24.

[0031] In this embodiment, during actual use, the bearing member arranged in the ball bearing seat 23 can ensure the stable rotation of the threaded lead screw 24. When the side of the positioning plate 28 is subjected to a load, with the counterweight of the counterweight seat 21 on the overall lifting and handling assembly 2, the threaded lead screw 24 can also maintain stable rotation, while ensuring the precise movement of the lead screw nut 25 on the threaded lead screw 24.

[0032] Furthermore, the arranged reciprocating motor 29 can be used to control the rotation of the threaded lead screw 24. By controlling the reciprocating motor 29 in the lifting and handling assembly 2 and connecting its power supply, at this time, under the reciprocating drive of the reciprocating motor 29, with the rotational cooperation between the ball bearing seat 23 and the threaded lead screw 24, the threaded lead screw 24 can be driven by the reciprocating motor 29 to achieve reciprocating rotation. The power connection mode of the arranged reciprocating motor 29 is prior art, and the reciprocating control circuit can be realized by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which belongs to the common knowledge in the art. Only its use is described without modification, so the control method and circuit connection will not be described in detail.

[0033] Specifically, referring to Figures 1-2 , several goods guiding wheels 64 are assembled on the outside of each guiding roller 63; the goods guiding wheels 64 are made of rubber material.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the operator guides the goods onto the goods handling platform 3, the goods guiding wheels 64 and guiding rollers 63 on the goods handling platform 3 can guide the goods, thereby driving the goods to enter onto the several goods guiding wheels 64 more quickly. At this time, through the mutual cooperation of the goods guiding component 6 and the goods handling platform 3, stable loading of the goods can be achieved.

[0036] Specifically, referring to Figures 1-2 , isolation plates 4 are fixedly provided on both lateral sides of the goods handling platform 3; the two isolation plates 4 are arranged vertically, and several side baffles 7 are further provided on the side of the goods handling platform 3 away from the isolation plates 4, and the several side baffles 7 are arranged vertically.

[0037] In this embodiment, the provided isolation plates 4 and side baffles 7 can be used as the two-side limits of the goods handling platform 3. Thus, when the goods are being handled on the goods handling platform 3, the provided isolation plates 4 and side baffles 7 can prevent the goods from falling, thereby ensuring the stable transfer of the goods.

[0038] Specifically, referring to Figures 1-2 , several groups of linear guide rails 5 are vertically assembled and provided on the AGV automatic guided vehicle body 1, and guide rail sliders 51 are slidably provided on the several groups of linear guide rails 5, and several guide rail sliders 51 are all connected to an adjacent isolation plate 4.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the lead screw nut 25 moves vertically up and down on the guiding and positioning plate 28, at this time, through the up and down movement of the positioning plate 28, in cooperation with the sliding connection between the guide rail slider 51 and the isolation plate 4, the goods handling platform 3 installed on the side of the positioning plate 28 can achieve overall stable up and down movement. The provided linear guide rails 5 and guide rail sliders 51 can provide stable up and down movement for the goods handling platform 3, thereby preventing the goods handling platform 3 from tilting after loading the goods, and further improving the lifting control stability of the lifting and handling component 2 for the goods handling platform 3.

[0041] The first step: In actual use, when the user controls the goods handling of the AGV automatic guided vehicle body 1, by controlling the reciprocating motor 29 in the lifting and handling component 2 and connecting its power supply, at this time, under the reciprocating drive of the reciprocating motor 29, in cooperation with the rotational cooperation between the ball bearing seat 23 and the threaded lead screw 24, the threaded lead screw 24 can be driven by the reciprocating motor 29 to achieve reciprocating rotation;

[0042] Step 2: When the threaded lead screw 24 rotates, the lead screw nut 25 engaged outside the threaded lead screw 24 can be limited by the counterweight seat 21, so as to vertically move up and down within the adjusting seat 22 along the stroke range of the threaded lead screw 24; through the movement of the lead screw nut 25, the slider seat 26 and the positioning plate 28 can be driven to move synchronously. At this time, through the lifting movement of the positioning plate 28 and the sliding connection between the guide rail slider 51 and the partition plate 4, the goods handling platform 3 installed on the side of the positioning plate 28 can achieve overall stable lifting movement.

[0043] Step 3: When the operator guides the goods onto the goods handling platform 3, the goods guide wheels 64 and guide rollers 63 on the goods handling platform 3 can guide the goods, so as to drive the goods to enter onto a number of goods guide wheels 64 more quickly. At this time, through the mutual cooperation of the goods guiding assembly 6 and the goods handling platform 3, stable loading of the goods can be achieved, and through the lifting movement control of the goods handling platform 3 by the lifting and handling assembly 2, automatic handling of the goods can be finally realized.
