Detailed Implementation Manner

[0027] To further understand the features, technical means, specific purposes, and functions achieved by the present utility model, the following further describes the present utility model in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] See Figures 1-6 As shown, an unmanned forklift for high - level shelves includes an intelligent mobile base 11 and a first - stage motor 12 fixed on the intelligent mobile base 11. The unmanned forklift further includes a support upright 21 rotatably installed on the intelligent mobile base 11. The support upright 21 is connected to the output end of the first - stage motor 12. A threaded rod 22 is rotatably installed in the support upright 21, and an internally threaded seat 23 is threadedly sleeved on the threaded rod 22. A slide rail 24 is fixedly installed on the support upright 21, and a slide seat 25 is slidably connected to the slide rail 24. The slide seat 25 is fixedly connected to the internally threaded seat 23; an insertion rod assembly 26 for variably - directionally picking up goods is provided on the slide seat 25; a support assembly 3 for strengthening the rotation position of the support upright 21 is provided on the intelligent mobile base 11.

[0029] When the intelligent mobile base 11 moves to the front side of the high - level shelf, first keep the support upright 21 in a vertical state. Run the motor at the top of the support upright 21 to control the rotation of the threaded rod 22. The threaded rod 22 controls the upward movement of the internally threaded seat 23 through screw drive. The internally threaded seat 23 drives the slide seat 25 to move upward along the slide rail 24. The slide seat 25 drives the insertion rod assembly 26 to move upward to a higher position, and pick up the goods at a high position on the high - level shelf through the insertion rod assembly 26. When the intelligent mobile base 11 drives the insertion rod assembly 26 and the picked - up goods to move backward away from the high - level shelf, run the first - stage motor 12 to control the rotation of the support upright 21 and adjust the angle of the support upright 21, so that the center of gravity of the unmanned forklift moves backward, avoiding the phenomenon of the unmanned forklift tipping over due to the weight of the cargo box on the insertion rod assembly 26.

[0030] While the support upright 21 rotates, the support assembly 3 on the intelligent mobile base 11 adjusts automatically. The support assembly 3 supports behind the support upright 21 to maintain the stability of the support upright 21 after rotation on the intelligent mobile base 11.

[0031] See Figures 5-7 As shown, the support assembly 3 includes a driven bracket 32 rotatably installed on the intelligent mobile base 11. A lateral support rod 33 is fixedly connected to the driven bracket 32. A driving bracket 31 is rotatably connected to the support upright 21. The driving bracket 31 is rotatably connected to the lateral support rod 33.

[0032] The rotation of the support upright 21 drives the rotation of the driving bracket 31. The driving bracket 31 rotates relative to the lateral support rod 33, and controls the rotation of the driven bracket 32 connected to the intelligent mobile base 11 through the lateral support rod 33, so that the driven bracket 32 rotates downward to support on the ground, maintaining the stability of the support upright 21 erected on the intelligent mobile base 11 at this time.

[0033] See Figures 5-7 As shown, there are two driven brackets 32 symmetrically arranged with respect to the threaded rod 22. A cross bar 34 is fixedly connected between the two driven brackets 32, and a roller 35 is sleeved on the cross bar 34.

[0034] When the driven bracket 32 rotates downward, it drives the cross bar 34 and the roller 35 to rotate downward synchronously, controlling the roller 35 to fit on the ground. The surface of the roller 35 is rough, and its contact with the ground increases the friction force, further maintaining the rotational stability of the support upright 21.

[0035] See Figures 5-7 As shown, a chute 36 is provided on one side of the driven bracket 32 close to the ground. A support rod 37 is rotatably connected to the intelligent mobile base 11, and a slider 38 is fixedly installed on the support rod 37. The slider 38 is slidably connected to the chute 36.

[0036] When the driven bracket 32 rotates, the support rod 37 rotates correspondingly on the intelligent mobile base 11. One end of the support rod 37 pushes the slider 38 to engage and slide in the chute 36. The support rod 37 reinforces the support on the side of the driven bracket 32, improving the support strength of the driven bracket 32 and the active bracket 31.

[0037] See Figures 1-4 and Figure 8 As shown, the inserting rod assembly 26 includes a fixed seat 261 fixed on the sliding seat 25. There are two fixed seats 261 symmetrically arranged with respect to the threaded rod 22. A rotating seat 262 is rotatably installed on the fixed seat 261, and a high-position inserting rod 263 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 262; the rotation axes of the rotating seat 262 and the high-position inserting rod 263 are perpendicular to each other; a secondary motor 264 is fixedly installed on the sliding seat 25, and the output end of the secondary motor 264 is connected to the rotating seat 262.

[0038] Operate the secondary motor 264 to control the rotation of the rotating seat 262. The secondary motor 264 drives the rotation of the rotating seat 262 to adjust the angle of the high-position inserting rod 263. When the sliding seat 25 follows the support upright 21 and rotates and tilts, the rotating seat 262 rotates correspondingly beside the sliding seat 25 to keep the high-position inserting rod 263 in a horizontal state, so that the high-position inserting rod 263 can fork the cargo box on the high-position shelf.

[0039] After the high-position inserting rod 263 forks the goods and separates from the high-position shelf, control the high-position inserting rod 263 to rotate to be perpendicular to the sliding seat 25. At this time, the cargo box moves toward the direction close to the sliding seat 25 under the action of gravity, and the cargo box remains stable when moving downward along the support upright 21 on the high-position inserting rod 263.

[0040] See Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, a direction-changing mechanism 4 for controlling the synchronous rotation of two high-position inserting rods 263 is provided on the rotating seat 262.

[0041] According to the size of the cargo box, the high-position inserting rods 263 are controlled to rotate by the direction-changing mechanism 4, and the range for the high-position inserting rods 263 to pick up goods is adjusted, so that the driverless forklift can stably pick up cargo boxes of various sizes.

[0042] See Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the direction-changing mechanism 4 includes a connecting frame 41 fixed between two rotating seats 262. A cylinder 42 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 41 along the central axis direction; a positioning block 43 is fixed at the output end of the cylinder 42. A push rod 44 is rotatably connected to the positioning block 43. A fixed block 45 is fixed at the bottom of the high-position inserting rod 263, and the fixed block 45 is rotatably connected to the push rod 44.

[0043] Operate the cylinder 42 to control the directional movement of the positioning block 43. The two ends of the push rod 44 connected between the positioning block 43 and the fixed block 45 rotate. The rotating push rod 44 pushes the high-position inserting rod 263 to rotate beside the rotating seat 262, and the angle between the high-position inserting rod 263 and the rotating seat 262 is adjusted.

[0044] Working principle: The intelligent mobile base 11 moves to the side of the high-position shelf. Operate the motor to control the rotation of the threaded rod 22. Under the threaded transmission of the threaded rod 22 and the internal thread seat 23, control the slide seat 25 to engage and move upward on the slide rail 24. The slide seat 25 drives the inserting rod assembly 26 to move upward synchronously. Operate the first-level motor 12 to control the rotation of the support vertical frame 21, so that the support vertical frame 21 rotates and is obliquely erected on the intelligent mobile base 11. While the support vertical frame 21 rotates, it drives the active support 31 to rotate. The active support 31 pushes the driven support 32 to rotate and be connected to the intelligent mobile base 11 through the lateral support rod 33. The driven support 32 rotates downward to control the roller 35 to rotate and fit on the ground. The support rod 37 beside the driven support 32 rotates correspondingly. The support rod 37 pushes the slider 38 to engage and slide in the chute 36. The support rod 37 strengthens the rotation position of the driven support 32. Under the supporting action of the active support 31 and the driven support 32, the support vertical frame 21 is stably erected on the intelligent mobile base 11.

[0045] Then operate the second-level motor 264 to control the rotation of the rotating seat 262, and keep the rotating seat 262 and the high-position inserting rod 263 in a horizontal state. Through the movement of the intelligent mobile base 11, the high-position inserting rod 263 is inserted into the bottom of the cargo box on the high-position shelf. The high-position inserting rod 263 is driven by the slide seat 25 to move upward to pick up the cargo box. Move the intelligent mobile base 11 in the reverse direction to control the high-position inserting rod 263 to move away from the high-position shelf. After the cargo box is separated from the shelf, control the rotating seat 262 to rotate to be perpendicular to the slide seat 25. The cargo box moves toward the slide seat 25 under the action of gravity, so that the driverless forklift can stably pick up the cargo box.

[0046] Reverse-control the rotation of the threaded rod 22 to control the downward movement of the sliding seat 25, the high-position insertion rod 263, etc. along the direction of the inclined support stand 21, move the cargo box to the lower position of the support stand 21, and then control the support stand 21 to rotate to the vertical state. The active support 31 and the driven support 32 rotate correspondingly, and the driven support 32 drives the roller 35 to rotate away from the ground so that the intelligent mobile base 11 can move on the ground for delivering goods.

[0047] The above embodiments only represent one or several implementation manners of the present utility model, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the appended claims.
