[0034] In order to better explain the present application and facilitate understanding, the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods. Figure 1 The position of the inner fender 12 relative to the front caster 2 is defined as "upper"; the position of the inner fender 12 relative to the edge of the outer fender 11 is defined as "inner".
[0035] As mentioned above, AGV forklifts, namely automatic guided forklifts, such as Figure 8As shown, it is a driverless transport vehicle that uses navigation, positioning, and path planning technologies. It uses a built-in navigation system and sensors (such as laser, infrared, and ultrasonic) to perceive the surrounding environment, match it with preset landmarks, magnetic markers, walls, etc., to determine its own position and build a map. During navigation, the AGV forklift will use an algorithm to calculate the optimal path from the starting point to the end point based on map information and set path rules. During movement, the AGV forklift will monitor the surrounding environment in real time to avoid obstacles in time. When an obstacle is detected, it will automatically adjust the direction of travel or stop moving based on the information received by the sensor to ensure safety. The AGV forklift can work 24 hours a day without interruption, with high efficiency and labor saving.
[0036] Oil drums, barrels used to hold oil, are typically cylindrical and made of sheet metal or plastic. They are frequently used in workshops. However, there are currently no oil drum transfer vehicles suitable for AGV forklifts, and transferring oil drums still requires manual transportation, which is labor-intensive and inefficient.
[0037] In order to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art, an embodiment of the present application provides an oil barrel transfer vehicle for an AGV forklift, comprising: a base plate, the middle of the base plate being rectangular, the two ends of the base plate being arc-shaped, and the base plate being used to carry two oil barrels; a handle, provided on the base plate, located on one side of the long side of the rectangle; casters, provided below the base plate; a forklift square tube, provided below the base plate, and used to enable the fork of the AGV forklift to stably carry the base plate. Two oil barrels can be placed on the base plate, and the double-barrel design reduces the number of transfers; the forklift square tube enables the fork of the AGV forklift to stably carry the base plate, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically transporting oil barrels. This process does not require manual effort, thereby reducing labor costs and improving efficiency.
[0038] The following describes an oil drum transfer vehicle for an AGV forklift according to some embodiments provided by the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0039] See also Figures 1 to 7 An embodiment of the present application provides an oil barrel transfer vehicle for an AGV forklift, comprising: a base plate 1, the middle of the base plate 1 is rectangular, the two ends of the base plate 1 are arc-shaped, and the base plate 1 is used to carry two oil barrels; a handle 4 is arranged on the base plate 1, located on one side of the long side of the rectangle; a caster is arranged under the base plate 1; a forklift square tube 5 is arranged under the base plate 1, and the forklift square tube 5 is used to enable the fork of the AGV forklift to stably support the base plate 1.
[0040] The arc-shaped ends of the base plate 1 are mainly to adapt to the cylindrical appearance of the oil barrel, to ensure that the oil barrel can fit tightly to the base plate when placed, to reduce the possibility of shaking and tilting, and to enable the base plate 1 to carry two oil barrels, thereby improving transportation efficiency. The base plate 1 should be made of strong and durable materials, such as steel, aluminum alloy or reinforced plastic, to ensure that it can withstand the weight of the oil barrel and the impact force during transportation. When in use, the long center axis direction of the base plate 1 is perpendicular to the direction of the fork of the AGV forklift, that is, the fork of the AGV forklift is inserted under the base plate 1 along the short center axis direction of the base plate 1 to lift the base plate 1 and the oil barrel on it. This design makes the center of gravity of the two oil barrels fall on the two forks respectively, so that the two forks can evenly bear the weight of the oil barrels, ensuring the stability and safety of the oil barrels during transportation.
[0041] The main function of the handle 4 is to provide a convenient operating point for the operator to carry, move, or operate the oil drum transfer vehicle. The handle 4 is located in the middle of the long side of the rectangular center of the base plate 1. This provides a balanced carrying point, keeping the base plate 1 in a balanced state during the dragging process of the handle 4, reducing the risk of tilting or tipping.
[0042] Casters allow the base plate 1 to be easily moved across the floor. They are typically installed at the four corners of the central rectangle of the base plate 1 to ensure stability and balance. Rubber wheels can be used, providing sufficient load-bearing capacity to support the combined weight of the base plate 1 and its oil drum. The height of the casters should be greater than the minimum height that the AGV forklift's forks can descend to ensure smooth insertion under the base plate 1.
[0043] The forklift square tube 5 is arranged on both sides of the bottom plate 1. Figure 5 As shown, two forklift square tubes 5 are positioned horizontally between the two forks at the two long sides of the central rectangle of the base plate 1, forming a tic-tac-toe configuration. This effectively creates a stable support platform that evenly distributes the weight of the base plate 1 and the oil drums atop it, preventing damage or deformation caused by local overload. Furthermore, the forklift square tubes 5 prevent direct contact between the forks and the base plate 1. When the forks and base plate 1 come into direct contact, both are subject to varying degrees of wear due to friction and vibration. The intervention of the forklift square tubes 5 provides both cushioning and support, reducing direct contact between the forks and base plate 1, thereby reducing the wear rate and extending the service life of the components.
[0044] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 7As shown, the handle 4 includes: a handle rod 41, a first connecting rod 42 and a second connecting rod 43 are provided at the bottom end of the handle rod 41, and the straight line where the first connecting rod 42 is located is parallel to the straight line where the second connecting rod 43 is located; a handle connecting plate 44, connected to the base plate 1, a first notch 45 is provided at the bottom end of the handle connecting plate 44, and a second notch 46 is provided at the top end; the first notch 45 and the first connecting rod 42 form a hinge, and the second notch 46 is used to accommodate the second connecting rod 43.
[0045] The first notch 45 and the second notch 46 are in a vertical straight line, and the first connecting rod 42 has upward movement space in the first notch 45 to allow the second connecting rod 43 to disengage from the second notch 46. During use, when the handle 4 is needed, the handle rod 41 is pulled upward to disengage the second connecting rod 43 from the second notch 46. At this time, the handle rod 41 can be rotated by the hinge formed by the first notch 45 and the first connecting rod 42, which facilitates the operator to move the handle 4. When the handle 4 is no longer needed, the handle rod 41 is erected to place the second connecting rod 43 into the second notch 46. At this time, the handle rod 41 will be fixed and maintained in a vertical state, which is convenient for AGV forklift transportation.
[0046] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the casters include: a front caster 2, which is arranged on a side close to the handle 4; and a rear caster 3, which is arranged on a side away from the handle 4.
[0047] The moving direction of the front caster 2 and the rear caster 3 is the direction of the short center axis of the base plate 1. The front caster 2 is responsible for guiding the moving direction of the oil barrel transfer vehicle, especially when turning. Since it is close to the handle 4, the operator can more easily control the steering of the front caster 2 by adjusting the angle of the handle 4, thereby realizing the flexible movement of the oil barrel transfer vehicle; the rear caster 3 mainly plays a supporting and stabilizing role. When the oil barrel transfer vehicle moves, the rear caster 3 follows the trajectory of the front caster 2 to ensure the balance and stability of the oil barrel transfer vehicle.
[0048] In an illustrative embodiment, the front caster 2 is a universal caster, which can rotate freely 360 degrees and can easily control steering; the rear caster 3 is a fixed caster, which can only move along its axial direction, that is, it cannot rotate freely to change direction, and can provide stability and support.
[0049] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a pad 51 is provided between the forklift square tube 5 and the bottom plate 1 .
[0050] The pad 51 can be made of elastic or compressible soft materials, such as rubber, polyurethane, etc. The pad 51 can absorb the vibration and impact force generated by the fork during operation, thereby improving the stability and safety during transportation.
[0051] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, outer baffles 11 are provided on both ends of the arc shape of the bottom plate 1, and an inner baffle 12 is provided in the middle of the bottom plate 1.
[0052] The outer baffle 11 and the inner baffle 12 are both arc-shaped and work in pairs, which can effectively limit the movement range of the oil barrel, ensure that the oil barrel will not shake or slide left and right during transportation, and prevent the oil barrel from tipping over due to sudden situations such as bumps or sudden braking, thereby increasing stability during transportation.
[0053] In an exemplary embodiment, the inner baffle 12 is detachably connected to the base plate 1. For example, bolts, snaps, etc. are used to allow the inner baffle 12 and the base plate 1 to be easily disassembled and reassembled. This design facilitates maintenance, component replacement, or structural layout adjustment. Bolt connection is a common and reliable connection method that tightly fixes two or more components together using bolts and screw holes. When bolting is used between the inner baffle 12 and the base plate 1, screw holes can be pre-designed on the base plate 1, and then corresponding holes can be drilled on the inner baffle 12. Finally, they are fixed together using bolts and screw holes. The advantage of bolt connection is that the connection is firm and can withstand large tension and pressure. It is also very easy to disassemble. Snap connection is a method that achieves quick connection and disassembly through a snap structure. When snap connection is used between the inner baffle 12 and the base plate 1, corresponding snap and slot structures need to be designed on both. When the inner baffle 12 and the base plate 1 are in contact, the snap automatically snaps into the slot to achieve fixation. The advantage of snap connection is that it is fast to connect, easy to disassemble, and does not require additional tools.
[0054] In an illustrative embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, support columns 6 are provided beneath the base plate 1. Located at both ends of the base plate 1, these columns provide stability and prevent the base plate 1 from tilting or tipping over. If the base plate 1 tilts due to an unexpected external force, the support columns 6 resist the tilting moment, preventing the base plate 1 from tilting or tipping over, thereby improving safety and stability during transportation.
[0055] In an exemplary embodiment, support column 6 is provided with a foot 61. Foot 61 is a component that contacts the ground and can be made of an elastic or soft material, such as rubber or polyurethane. It can disperse the pressure of support column 6 on the ground, reduce wear and tear on the ground by support column 6, and extend the service life of support column 6. Furthermore, foot 61 can ensure that support column 6 remains stable even on uneven ground, reducing vibration or noise caused by uneven ground.
[0056] In one exemplary embodiment, the support column 6 is height-adjustable. For example, a telescopic rod structure or hinged retractable arrangement can be employed. This design allows the operator to adjust the height of the support column 6 with simple manipulation to accommodate various usage requirements and scenarios. The telescopic rod structure typically consists of multiple interlocking circular or square columns, each internally fitted with a number of small circular or square shafts. These small shafts are connected to the outer, larger shaft of the telescopic rod via a specific mechanical transmission mechanism, forming the telescopic structure of the telescopic rod. The telescopic rod can be adjusted in length as needed. When the oil barrel transfer vehicle needs to be moved manually, that is, the support column 6 is not needed, the support column 6 can be retracted to a shorter length so as not to affect the operation of the casters; when the oil barrel transfer vehicle needs to be transferred by an AGV forklift, that is, the support column 6 is needed, the support column 6 can be extended to a longer length, thereby providing stability and preventing the base plate 1 from tilting or overturning; the hinged storage method is that the support column 6 is hinged to the base plate 1. When the support column 6 needs to be used, the support column 6 is lowered by rotating the hinge so that the support column 6 is in contact with the ground to play a supporting role; when the support column 6 is not needed, the support column 6 is retracted by rotating the hinge so that the support column 6 is not in contact with the ground, thereby not affecting the operation of the casters.
