Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of stacking, in particular to a transfer type stacking AGV. Background Art

[0002] AGVs are battery-powered, autonomous industrial vehicles. They work in conjunction with automated guidance systems, automated loading and unloading systems, communications systems, safety systems, and management systems to automate the loading, unloading, and transportation of materials. By connecting to intelligent devices such as warehousing systems and production equipment, AGVs enable efficient material handling and collaborative operations. Furthermore, AGVs can seamlessly interact with personnel, enabling human-machine collaboration and improving work efficiency and safety. This enhanced collaborative and interactive capability will usher in the era of smart logistics.

[0003] Most existing AGVs are flatbed, lurking vehicles equipped with a lifting mechanism to lift and transport target cargo. However, due to vehicle height limitations, the cargo must be high enough for the AGV to maneuver underneath it. Furthermore, the lifting height is relatively low, making it difficult to lift large amounts of cargo. Furthermore, these AGVs often rely on a single positioning method, resulting in low accuracy and requiring the addition of auxiliary positioning devices at the docking point, increasing equipment costs.

Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] See also Figure 1-7 The utility model provides a technical solution: a transfer type stacking AGV, comprising:

[0026] A chassis 1, a control cabinet 4 is mounted on the right side of the upper surface of the chassis 1, a battery 5 is mounted on the left side of the upper surface of the chassis 1, a lifting gantry system 2 is fixedly mounted above the chassis 1, the lifting gantry system 2 is located between the control cabinet 4 and the battery 5, a lifting platform 3 is slidably mounted within the lifting gantry system 2, and a tray 6 is placed on the lifting platform 3;

[0027] The chassis 1 includes a vehicle body 1-1, with running wheels 1-2 rotatably mounted at the four corners below the vehicle body 1-1, safety obstacle avoidance sensors 1-3 mounted on the sides of the vehicle body 1-1, a code reader 1-4 mounted in the middle of the left and right sides of the lower surface of the vehicle body 1-1, and two rows of auxiliary support wheels 1-5 mounted on the lower surface of the vehicle body 1-1;

[0028] The lifting gantry system 2 includes a gantry 2-1, a SLAM laser sensor 2-2 is installed in the middle of the top of the gantry 2-1, a sprocket 12-3 is installed on the top of the gantry, a chain 12-4 is sleeved on the sprocket 12-3, the other end of the chain 12-4 is sleeved on the sprocket 22-5, a lifting transmission shaft 2-6 is installed on the sprocket 22-5, a sprocket 32-7 is installed in the middle of the lifting transmission shaft 2-6, a chain 22-8 is sleeved on the sprocket 32-7, the other end of the chain 22-8 is sleeved on the sprocket 42-9, the sprocket 42-9 is sleeved on the output shaft of the lifting motor 2-10, and the lifting motor 2-10 is installed below the vehicle body 1-1;

[0029] The lifting platform 3 includes a lifting frame 3-1, which is connected to the chain 12-4. A chain conveyor frame 3-2 is installed on the lifting frame 3-1, and five groups of sprockets 53-3 are installed on the chain conveyor frame 3-2. The sprocket 53-3 located at the bottom is installed with a rotating shaft 3-4, and a coupling 3-5 is mounted on the rotating shaft 3-4. The other end of the coupling 3-5 is connected to the output shaft of the conveying motor 3-6. The sprocket 53-3 is connected through a chain 33-7. A block 3-8 for traction is installed on the chain 33-7. The block 3-8 cooperates with the groove on the pallet 6. Load-bearing brackets 3-9 are installed on both sides of the lifting frame 3-1, and guide wheels 3-10 are installed on the load-bearing brackets 3-9 for guiding the pallet 6.

[0030] Specifically, when the AGV has a warehousing task, the AGV is required to transport the cargo pallet 6 from the warehousing area to the designated storage location of the shelf. The walking wheels 1-2 move to drive the AGV to the warehousing area; at the same time, the lifting motors 2-10 run to lift the lifting platform 3 to the warehousing height.

[0031] After the AGV arrives at the storage position, the conveying motor 3-6 starts running, driving the rotating shaft 3-4 to rotate through the coupling 3-5. The rotation of the rotating shaft 3-4 drives the sprocket 53-3 to rotate. The rotation of the sprocket 53-3 drives the chain 33-7 to move. When the stopper 3-8 installed on the chain 33-7 moves into the groove of the pallet 6, the movement of the chain 33-7 is transmitted to the pallet 6 through the cooperation between the stopper 3-8 and the groove on the pallet 6, thereby driving the pallet 6 to move continuously until it completely enters the lifting platform 3.

[0032] After the pallet 6 enters the lifting platform 3, the AGV walking wheels 1-2 run to drive the AGV to the target storage location. At the same time, the lifting motor 2-10 runs to lift the lifting platform 3 with the goods to the target storage location height.

[0033] After the AGV arrives at the storage location, the conveying motor 3-6 starts running, driving the shaft 3-4 to rotate through the coupling 3-5. The rotation of the shaft 3-4 drives the sprocket 53-3 to rotate. The rotation of the sprocket 53-3 drives the chain 33-7 to move. The movement of the chain 33-7 is transmitted to the pallet 6 through the cooperation of the block 3-8 and the groove on the pallet 6, thereby driving the pallet 6 to move until the goods completely enter the target storage location.

[0034] When the AGV has an outbound task, it needs to transport the cargo pallet 6 from the warehouse to the outbound area. The walking wheels 1-2 move to drive the AGV to the outbound storage location; at the same time, the lifting motor 2-10 runs to lift the lifting platform 3 to the outbound storage location height.

[0035] After the AGV arrives at the outbound storage location, the conveying motor 3-6 starts running, driving the rotating shaft 3-4 to rotate through the coupling 3-5. The rotation of the rotating shaft 3-4 drives the sprocket 53-3 to rotate. The rotation of the sprocket 53-3 drives the chain 33-7 to move. When the stopper 3-8 installed on the chain 33-7 moves into the groove of the pallet 6, the movement of the chain 33-7 is transmitted to the pallet 6 through the cooperation between the stopper 3-8 and the groove on the pallet 6, thereby driving the pallet 6 to move continuously until it completely enters the lifting platform 3.

[0036] After the pallet 6 enters the lifting platform 3, the AGV walking wheel 1-2 runs, driving the AGV to the outbound area, and at the same time the lifting motor 2-10 runs to lift the lifting platform 3 with the goods to the outbound height.

[0037] After the AGV reaches the outbound position, the conveying motor 3-6 starts running, driving the rotating shaft 3-4 to rotate through the coupling 3-5. The rotation of the rotating shaft 3-4 drives the sprocket 53-3 to rotate. The rotation of the sprocket 53-3 drives the chain 33-7 to move. The movement of the chain 33-7 is transmitted to the pallet 6 through the cooperation of the block 3-8 and the groove on the pallet 6, thereby driving the pallet 6 to move until the goods completely enter the outbound area.

[0038] During the AGV's driving process, the SLAM laser sensor 2-2 monitors the AGV's position in real time, and the safety obstacle avoidance sensor 1-3 monitors obstacles in the driving area in real time to ensure driving safety. After reaching the designated position, the code reader 1-4 reads the location code of the target position, corrects the AGV's posture, and achieves precise positioning of the AGV.
