[0003] Currently, the transportation of photovoltaic glass mainly relies on manual operation or traditional forklift equipment. Traditional forklift equipment is prone to damage or low efficiency in the process of transporting photovoltaic glass because its operation method depends on manual experience. Therefore, AGV equipment is used in the existing technology to automatically transport photovoltaic glass. However, the transportation of photovoltaic glass requires high flexibility and stability of AGV equipment, especially in a small space. The AGV equipment of the existing technology uses two running steering wheels and two driven wheels (such as universal wheels) for steering operation. The steering of the running steering wheel drives the passive steering of the universal wheel, which can easily lead to inconvenient steering or limited operating space. This limitation limits the application of AGV equipment in complex or crowded environments to a certain extent. Utility Model Content

The carrier body 100 includes a body body 110 and an installation The mounting support plate 120 is provided on the vehicle body 110. The running steering wheel 400 is used to move and steer the transport body 100. Each running steering wheel 400 is movably provided at the bottom of the mounting support plate 120, and the four running steering wheels 400 are respectively located at the four corner positions of the vehicle body 110; each steering motor is fixedly mounted on the mounting support plate 120, and each steering motor is electrically connected to the control platform 200, and the driving end of the steering motor is meshed and connected with the running steering wheel 400 in a one-to-one manner to individually drive the running steering wheel 400 to steer.
[0030] It can be understood that since a running steering wheel 400 is respectively provided at each of the four corner positions of the vehicle body 110, and each running steering wheel 400 is equipped with a separately controlled steering motor, each running steering wheel 400 is independently steered under the drive of its own steering motor, ensuring that the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV 10 can flexibly turn in a small space. Compared with the prior art that uses two running steering wheels 400 and two driven wheels (such as universal wheels), the present disclosure uses four running steering wheels 400 for separate steering control, which, on the one hand, avoids the situation where the universal wheel is stuck or cannot be steered normally during passive steering, and on the other hand On the one hand, it ensures that the running steering wheel 400 has a smaller turning radius when turning, improves the maneuverability and convenience of the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV10 in turning in a narrow space, thereby improving the steering efficiency of the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV10; at the same time, when the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV10 encounters an obstacle and cannot turn as a whole, the four running steering wheels 400 can rotate in the same direction, which can realize the lateral and oblique movement of the transport body 100, etc., ensuring the adaptability of the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV10 in complex working environments, thereby improving the efficiency of the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV10 when transporting glass.
[0031] It should be noted that the operation of the steering wheel 400 is a prior art and will not be further described here.

In this embodiment, the navigation radar 500 senses the environment around the transport vehicle 100 and automatically plans the driving and turning path of the photovoltaic glass heavy-duty AGV 10 in a narrow space, ensuring the safety of the photovoltaic glass heavy-duty AGV 10 when transporting glass.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV 10 also includes an obstacle avoidance radar 600, and the carrier body 100 also includes a flip cover 130.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment, the photovoltaic glass heavy-duty AGV 10 further includes an electric energy charging plate 920, which is disposed on the side of the vehicle body 110. The electric energy charging plate 920 is used to electrically connect to the power supply device to provide power replenishment. In this embodiment, the electric energy charging plate 920 can promptly replenish the power stored in the power supply device, ensuring that the various components of the photovoltaic glass heavy-duty AGV 10 are properly powered, ensuring the operating time of the photovoltaic glass heavy-duty AGV 10, and thereby improving the operating efficiency of the photovoltaic glass heavy-duty AGV 10.
[0041] The present disclosure also provides an AGV device, including the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV 10 described in any of the above embodiments.
[0042] Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has at least the following advantages:
[0043] The photovoltaic glass heavy-duty AGV10 disclosed in the present invention has a running steering wheel 400 provided at each of the four corner positions of the vehicle body 110, and each running steering wheel 400 is equipped with a separately controlled steering motor, so that each running steering wheel 400 is independently steered under the drive of its own steering motor, ensuring that the photovoltaic glass heavy-duty AGV10 can flexibly turn in a narrow space. Compared with the prior art that uses two running steering wheels 400 and two driven wheels (such as universal wheels), the present invention uses four running steering wheels 400 for separate steering control, which, on the one hand, avoids the universal wheel from getting stuck or failing to turn normally during passive steering. On the one hand, it ensures that the running steering wheel 400 has a smaller turning radius when turning, which improves the maneuverability and convenience of the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV10 in turning in a narrow space, thereby improving the steering efficiency of the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV10; at the same time, when the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV10 encounters an obstacle and cannot turn as a whole, the four running steering wheels 400 can rotate in the same direction, which can realize the lateral movement and oblique movement of the transport body 100, etc., ensuring the adaptability of the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV10 in complex working environments, thereby improving the efficiency of the photovoltaic glass heavy-load AGV10 in transporting glass.
