[0031] Intelligent transport vehicles, a type of mobile robot, are crucial components of modern manufacturing enterprise material management systems. They are primarily used to store and transport various materials, ensuring the system's flexibility, integration, and efficiency. Transport vehicles are widely used in various fields, including industry, to transport various materials. Intelligent transport vehicles, controlled by programmable code, have emerged to meet diverse needs, and a wide variety of them are available on the market.

[0032] In the related art, a sleeve is placed over the outside of the connecting rod, positioning the connecting ring inside the through-hole. The baffle is rotated so that it fits against the fixing block to restrict the position of the connecting ring. Finally, the clamping block is connected to the clamping slot to restrict the position of the connecting plate, thus completing the connection between the two vehicle bodies. However, the existing device requires docking the fixing sleeve with the connecting rod, rotating the connecting plate, and finally pulling the limiting ring to control the limiting ring and drive the limiting rod into the limiting slot on the connecting plate to complete the connection. This requires many steps and is not conducive to quick connection, resulting in low installation efficiency.

[0033] In order to solve the problems in the related art to a certain extent, the embodiment of the present application provides an intelligent transport vehicle. When the intelligent transport vehicle body 11 needs to be connected to the car box 12, it is first necessary to push the car box 12 toward the intelligent transport vehicle body 11 so that the front end of the insertion rod 14 can be inserted into the interior of the tube body 13. When inserting, the stopper 27 at one end of the insertion rod 14 will contact the card block 24 and squeeze the inclined surface of the card block 24 to retract it into the interior of the groove body 22. During the movement, the spring 1 23 will be squeezed and compressed until it is After the block 24 and the stopper 27 are offset, the spring 1 23 rebounds and pushes the block 24 out of the inside of the groove body 22 to limit the position of the stopper 27, so that it will not be separated from the inside of the tube body 13, thereby completing the connection. When disassembly is required, it is only necessary to drag the ring body 26 toward the direction of the circular plate 21. During the movement, the ring body 26 will push the connecting rod 25 to rotate so that one end of the connecting rod 25 pushes the block 24 back to the inside of the groove body 22 to release the restriction on the stopper 27, and then the stopper 27 can be pulled out from the inside of the tube body 13 to complete the separation.

[0034] The present application is described below with reference to specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0035] Combine Figures 1-4 The embodiment of the present application provides an intelligent transport vehicle, comprising: an intelligent transport vehicle body 11, one side of which is provided with a vehicle box 12; a tube body 13 is provided on one side of the intelligent transport vehicle body 11; an insertion rod 14 is provided on one side of the vehicle box 12 and inserted into the interior of the tube body 13; a locking assembly 2 is provided on the tube body 13, and the locking assembly 2 comprises: a circular plate 21 fixedly arranged on the outer wall of one end of the tube body 13; a groove body 22 is opened in the interior of the circular plate 21; a spring 1 23 is provided in the interior of the groove body 22; a card block 24 is provided in the interior of the groove body 22, and one end is connected to the spring 1 23 and the other end passes through the outer wall of the tube body 13 and is inserted into the interior; one end of the connecting rod 25 is inserted into the interior of the groove body 22 and is rotatably connected to the card block 24; a ring body 26 is sleeved on the outer wall of the tube body 13 and is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting rod 25; a stopper 27 is provided at one end of the card block insertion rod.

[0036] Specifically, the model of the intelligent transport vehicle 11 is XAGV70E. The working principle of the intelligent transport vehicle (AGV) mainly includes the following aspects:

[0037] Laser navigation technology: AGVs use laser navigation technology for positioning and path planning. LiDAR or infrared sensors can scan the surrounding environment, obtain the location information of landmarks and obstacles, and use this information to make real-time positioning and navigation decisions.

[0038] Visual recognition technology: AGVs can use cameras, depth cameras, and other devices to perform visual recognition, acquiring real-time information about objects in the environment. Using computer vision and image processing algorithms, AGVs can identify goods, workpieces, landmarks, and perform corresponding operations and judgments.

[0039] Sensor technology: AGVs are equipped with a variety of sensors, such as proximity sensors, infrared sensors, and weight sensors, to sense the state of cargo and environmental changes. Based on sensor data, the AGV can adjust parameters such as speed and steering angle to ensure the safety and accuracy of transportation tasks.

[0040] Path planning and decision-making: When executing a task, the AGV uses a path planning algorithm to determine the optimal path and make decisions based on the current environment and task requirements. The path planning algorithm can consider factors such as cargo priority and road congestion to ensure efficient task execution.

[0041] During the movement, the ring body 26 will push the connecting rod 25 to rotate so that one end of the connecting rod 25 pushes the block 24 back to the inside of the groove body 22, releasing the restriction of the block 27, and then the block 27 is pulled out from the inside of the tube body 13 to complete the separation.

[0042] In some embodiments, three of the slots 22 and three of the blocks 24 are provided.

[0043] During use, the design of the three clamping blocks 24 and the slot body 22 can make the connection with the stopper 27 closer, thereby improving the limiting effect.

[0044] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 2 further includes an arc-shaped block 271 disposed at one end of the stop block 27 .

[0045] During use, the arc block 271 has a rounded surface design, which is less likely to cause scratches when squeezing the clamping block 24, thereby reducing friction.

[0046] In some embodiments, the engaging assembly 2 further includes a guide housing 28 disposed on one side of the circular plate 21 .

[0047] During use, the tapered design of the guide housing 28 can assist the stopper 27 in being inserted into the interior of the tube body 13 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 2 further includes: a plurality of shift rods 29 , all of which are disposed on the outer side wall of the ring body 26 .

[0049] During use, the lever 29 is designed to be easily grasped, so that the ring body 26 can be moved to one side by pulling the lever 29 .

[0050] In some embodiments, a buffer assembly 3 is provided inside the tube body 13, and the buffer assembly 3 includes: a second spring 31 is provided inside the tube body 13, and one end of the spring 31 is connected to the inner wall of the tube body 13; a plate body 32 is provided at one end of the second spring 31; a damper 33 is provided on the inner side of the second spring 31, and one end is connected to the plate body 32, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the tube body 13.

[0051] When in use, when the block 27 is inserted into the tube body 13 or when the intelligent transport vehicle body 11 is traveling, it will contact the plate body 32, thereby pushing the plate body 32 to move inside the tube body 13. The spring 2 31 and the damper 33 can be used to buffer and reduce the impact force generated by the block 27.

[0052] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the plate 32 is in contact with the inner wall of the tube 13 .

[0053] The design of the outer wall of the plate body 32 being in close contact during use can make it more stable and less likely to shake when moving inside the tube body 13.

[0054] In some embodiments, the buffer assembly 3 further includes a rubber pad 34 disposed on one side of the plate 32 .

[0055] During use, the design of the rubber pad 34 can mitigate the impact of the stopper 27 on the plate 32 , thereby better protecting the stopper 27 .
