Specific implementation manners

[0022] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-7 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a technical solution: a crab - type AGV shuttle car, including a vehicle body shell 1 - 1, a traveling mechanism 2 - 1, a telescopic mechanism 2 - 2, and a lifting mechanism 2 - 3. The lifting mechanism 2 - 3 is installed on the top of the vehicle body shell 1 - 1, the telescopic mechanism 2 - 2 is installed at the bottom of the vehicle body shell 1 - 1, there are four groups of the traveling mechanisms 2 - 1, and the four groups of the traveling mechanisms 2 - 1 are symmetrically installed on the telescopic mechanism 2 - 2;

[0024] It is solved that the telescopic mechanism 2-2 includes a telescopic plate 4-1, a cylindrical gear 4-2, a telescopic driving motor 4-3 and a cylindrical gear mounting plate 4-4. The cylindrical gear 4-2 is installed in the cylindrical gear mounting plate 4-4. The telescopic driving motor 4-3 is installed on the top of the cylindrical gear mounting plate 4-4, and the driving end of the telescopic driving motor 4-3 is meshed with the cylindrical gear 4-2 through a gear. There are four telescopic plates 4-1. The four telescopic plates 4-1 are respectively located at the left end and the right end of the cylindrical gear mounting plate 4-4. Link rods 6-1 are provided on both groups of telescopic plates 4-1. The other end of the link rod 6-1 is installed in the curve groove of the cylindrical gear 4-2. By driving the cylindrical gear to rotate through the telescopic driving motor 4-3, a curve groove is milled on the surface of the cylindrical gear. One end of the link rod 6-1 is fixed to the telescopic plate 4-1, and the other end can slide in the curve groove on the surface of the above-mentioned cylindrical gear. When it is necessary to increase the width spacing of the traveling wheels, the telescopic driving motor 4-3 rotates forward to drive the cylindrical gear 4-2 to rotate. One end of the link rod 6-1 slides in the curve groove as the cylindrical gear 4-2 rotates, and the other end drives the telescopic plate 4-1 to move outward, realizing the function of increasing the width spacing of the traveling wheels. When it is necessary to reduce the width spacing of the traveling wheels, the telescopic driving motor 4-3 rotates in reverse, realizing the function of reducing the width spacing of the traveling wheels. The principle is as described above.

[0025] Furthermore, a guide wheel 1-3 is provided at the outer end of the telescopic plate 4-1. The traveling mechanism 2-1 includes traveling wheels 5-1, driven sprockets 5-2, bearing support seats 5-3 and a traveling driving motor 5-5. There are three traveling wheels 5-1, and the three traveling wheels 5-1 are installed at the outer end of the telescopic plate 4-1 in a horizontally equidistant manner. The driven sprockets 5-2 and the bearing support seats 5-3 are installed at the inner end of the traveling wheels 5-1. The traveling driving motor 5-5 is installed on the telescopic plate 4-1. A driving sprocket 5-4 is provided at the driving end of the traveling driving motor 5-5. The driving sprocket 5-4 is connected to the driven sprocket 5-2 through a chain. When the crab-type AGV shuttle needs to travel, the traveling driving motor 5-5 starts to rotate, driving the driving sprocket 5-4 at its end face to rotate. The driven sprocket 5-2 rotates in the same direction as the driving sprocket 5-4 through the chain, and the traveling wheels 5-1 rotate following the driven sprocket 5-2, thereby realizing the traveling function of the crab-type AGV shuttle.

The bottom jacking cam 3-5 and the second driven sprocket 3-4 are connected and fixed by a connecting shaft. When it is necessary to jack up the goods, the first jacking drive motor 3-1 drives the top jacking cam 3-7 to rotate through the sprocket and chain, jacks up the top jacking plate 1-2, and realizes the function of lifting the goods. When it is necessary to jack up the vehicle body, the second jacking drive motor 3-8 drives the bottom jacking cam 3-5 to rotate through the sprocket and chain, jacks up the bottom jacking plate, and realizes the function of jacking up the vehicle body.

After reaching the designated storage location, the first jacking drive motor 3-1 of the jacking mechanism drives the top jacking cam 3-7 to rotate, and the jacking plate descends to the initial position to complete the goods storage operation.

[0028] Outbound; when performing outbound operations on goods, the crab-type AGV shuttle vehicle is required to transport the goods from the shelf to the designated location; first, the lifting drive motor two 3-8 of the lifting mechanism drives the bottom lifting cam 3-5 to rotate, completing the lifting of the vehicle body; the telescopic drive motor 4-3 of the telescopic mechanism drives the cylindrical gear 4-2 to rotate, adjusting the traveling width of the walking wheels of the crab-type AGV shuttle vehicle according to the shelf track width of the target storage location; after the adjustment is completed, the lifting drive motor two 3-8 of the lifting mechanism drives the bottom lifting cam 3-5 to rotate, restoring the vehicle body height to the initial height; the traveling drive motor 5-5 of the crab-type AGV shuttle vehicle drives the crab-type AGV shuttle vehicle to travel to the storage location of the outbound goods; after reaching the designated location, the lifting drive motor one 3-1 of the lifting mechanism drives the top lifting cam 3-7 to rotate, completing the lifting of the top lifting plate 1-2 and lifting the goods; after lifting the goods, the traveling drive motor 5-5 of the crab-type AGV shuttle vehicle drives the crab-type AGV shuttle vehicle to transport the goods to the outbound area; after reaching the designated location, the lifting drive motor one 3-1 of the lifting mechanism drives the top lifting cam 3-7 to rotate, and the lifting plate descends to the initial position, completing the outbound operation of the goods.
