DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] See also Figure 1-10 The embodiment of the utility model provides an AGV forklift with a buffer function, comprising a frame body 1, a lifting fork 3 movably connected to the top of the frame body 1, a protective shell 4 fixedly connected to the end of the frame body 1, and an auxiliary escape device 8 movably connected to the bottom of the protective shell 4;
[0035] The frame body 1 includes a U-shaped frame 11, and the bottom of the frame 11 is provided with two groups of connecting frames in a rectangular array to increase the distance between the frame 11 and the ground to prevent the chassis from contacting the ground and bottoming out during movement. Each group of the connecting frames is provided with two, and each group of the connecting frames is movably connected with a moving wheel 2.
[0036] In this embodiment, a rectangular array of cylinder brackets 13 are welded in the frame 11, and each of the cylinder brackets 13 is fixedly connected to a hydraulic cylinder 12. The hydraulic cylinder 12 is located below the lifting fork 3, and the end of the hydraulic cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the lifting fork 3.
[0037] In this embodiment, the end of the frame 11 away from the moving wheel 2 is integrally provided with a steering bracket 14, and the bottom of the steering bracket 14 is fixedly connected to a universal moving wheel 15, which is located at the bottom of the protective shell 4;
[0038] A crossbeam fixedly connected to the end of the vehicle frame 11 is further provided in the protective shell 4, and the auxiliary escape device 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the vehicle frame 11 through the crossbeam.
[0039] In this embodiment, the auxiliary escape device 8 includes a transmission shaft 81 , both ends of which are integrally provided with limiting protrusions 811 , and the limiting protrusions 811 on each side are arranged in a circular array on the outside of the transmission shaft 81 .
[0040] In this embodiment, both ends of the transmission shaft 81 are provided with a flip lift frame 83, and each flip lift frame 83 includes an inclined stand 831, and a spline hole 832 corresponding to the limiting protrusion 811 is opened at the center of the inclined stand 831;
[0041] The end of the transmission shaft 81 passes through the inclined stand 831 , and the spline hole 832 is correspondingly inserted into the limiting protrusion 811 .
[0042] In this embodiment, both ends of the inclined stand 831 are inclined, and both ends of the inclined stand 831 are integrally provided with symmetrical connecting ear plates, and auxiliary rollers 833 are movably connected between each set of the connecting ear plates.
[0043] In this embodiment, each of the flip lift frames 83 is provided with support frames 82 on both sides, and mounting bearings are embedded in the ends of the support frames 82, and the inner rings of the mounting bearings are interference fit with the transmission shaft 81;
[0044] The top of the support frame 82 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam fixedly connected to the end of the frame 11 by bolts, and a servo motor 86 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the crossbeam.
[0045] In this embodiment, a driving gear 85 is fixedly connected to the end of the servo motor 86 , and a driven gear 84 corresponding to the driving gear 85 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 81 , and the driven gear 84 and the driving gear 85 are meshed with each other.
[0046] By adopting the above technical solution, the distance between the frame 11 and the ground is increased by the connecting frame provided at the bottom of the frame 11, thereby preventing the bottom of the frame 11 from rubbing against the ground and affecting normal use. During driving, when the universal movable wheel 15 falls into a pit and cannot move, the servo motor 86 drives the transmission shaft 81 to rotate through the transmission connection between the driven gear 84 and the driving gear 85, and rotates the flip lifting frame 83 in the horizontal state at both ends of the transmission shaft 81 to a vertical state. During the rotation process, the flip lifting frame 83 will lift the end of the frame body 1, thereby helping the universal movable wheel 15 at the end of the frame body 1 to quickly get out of trouble.
[0047] In this embodiment, the bottom of the frame 11 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the drive motor 5, and each end of the drive motor 5 is transmission-connected to a reduction box 6, and the reduction box 6 is fixedly connected to the frame 11;
[0048] The input shaft of the speed reducer 6 is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 5 through a coupling, and a sprocket 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the driving motor 5.
[0049] In this embodiment, a plurality of the sprockets 21 are provided. One is connected to the speed reducer 6, and the other is fixedly connected to the side surface of the moving wheel 2 by bolts. A transmission chain 7 is sleeved outside the two sprockets 21, and both sides of the transmission chain 7 are drivingly connected to the sprockets 21.
[0050] In this embodiment, a hydraulic oil tank is fixedly connected in the protective housing 4. A hydraulic pump is fixedly connected to the side surface of the hydraulic oil tank. One end of the hydraulic pump extends to the inside of the hydraulic oil tank, and the other end of the hydraulic pump is communicated with the hydraulic cylinder 12 through a hydraulic pipe;
[0051] The hydraulic pump pumps out the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank, sends it into the hydraulic cylinder 12 through the hydraulic pipe, and pushes the end of the hydraulic cylinder 12 to move, thereby pushing the lifting fork 3 above to lift upward.
[0052] In this embodiment, a power supply is also fixedly connected in the protective housing 4. A controller is provided above the protective housing 4. The controller is electrically connected to the power supply, the driving motor 5, the servo motor 86, and the hydraulic pump through wires respectively;
[0053] The controller controls the power supply to supply power to the driving motor 5, the servo motor 8, and the hydraulic pump respectively. The driving motor 5 drives the moving wheel 2 to rotate through the driving connection between the sprocket 21 and the transmission chain 7, eliminating the need for manual dragging of the forklift and reducing the labor intensity.
[0054] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: When in use, first move the frame body 1 into the groove at the bottom of the goods tray. The end of the hydraulic cylinder 12 rises through the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic oil tank, and the hydraulic cylinder 12 pushes the lifting fork 3 to lift the goods and the tray. At this time, the power supply supplies power to the driving motor 5. The driving motor 5 transmits the power to the speed reducer 6. After being decelerated by the speed reducer 6, it drives the moving wheel 2 to rotate through the driving connection between the transmission chain 7 and the sprocket 21, thereby carrying the goods. Since a connecting frame extending downward is provided at the bottom of the vehicle frame 11, the distance between the vehicle frame 11 and the ground is increased, preventing the bottom of the vehicle frame 11 from contacting the ground during movement. When the universal moving wheel 15 gets stuck in a pothole and cannot move, through the driving connection between the driven gear 84 and the driving gear 85, the servo motor 86 drives the transmission shaft rod 81 to rotate, and rotates the flipping and lifting frame 83 in the horizontal state at both ends of the transmission shaft rod 81 to the vertical state. During the rotation process, the flipping and lifting frame 83 will lift the end of the frame body 1, thereby helping the universal moving wheel 15 at the end of the frame body 1 to quickly get out of trouble, enabling the AGV forklift to be used on roads with complex terrains.
