Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of material transfer equipment, specifically to a self-moving platform and a self-moving container. Background Technology

[0002] During the processing and manufacturing of materials, transfer equipment is often required for centralized transfer.

[0045] This utility model provides a self-moving platform 100, which can be used to transfer materials. The type of material is not specifically limited. For example, it can be a specific product or a container for holding the product.

[0046] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the self-moving platform 100 includes a chassis 1, a roller assembly 2, and a drive assembly 3. The roller assembly 2 is located at the bottom of the chassis 1 and includes multiple wheels, each wheel including at least two drive wheels 21, multiple floating wheels 22, and multiple auxiliary wheels. The drive assembly 3 is located on the chassis 1 and connected to at least two of the drive wheels 21. Each of the multiple wheels protrudes from the chassis 1 to be suitable for contacting the ground, and the height of each auxiliary wheel protruding from the chassis 1 is lower than the height of each drive wheel 21 protruding from the chassis 1 and the height of each floating wheel 22 protruding from the chassis 1.

[0047] In this embodiment, the roller assembly 2 is located at the bottom of the chassis 1, and can drive the chassis 1 to move. The top of the chassis 1 can be used to place objects to be transferred, such as products, buckets, boxes, or containers, so that the self-moving platform 100 can transfer the objects. Moreover, the roller assembly 2 includes various types of wheels, including drive wheels 21, floating wheels 22, and auxiliary wheels. The drive wheels 21 can be driven by the drive assembly 3, so that the self-moving platform 100 can move autonomously without manual pushing or pulling. Labor saving; the floating wheels 22 provide cushioning when the self-moving platform 100 travels on uneven surfaces, making it more stable and preventing objects placed on it from falling or tipping over. Furthermore, the multiple auxiliary wheels, with their minimal protrusion from the chassis 1, provide support when the floating wheels 22 retract excessively on slopes, preventing excessive tilting of the chassis 1 and thus avoiding material tipping. Therefore, the self-moving platform 100 provided by this invention allows for more time-saving and labor-saving material transfer, and is more stable and reliable, effectively improving work efficiency.

[0048] Among them, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the chassis 1 includes a supporting base plate 11 and supporting side plates 12 surrounding the supporting base plate 11. The shape of the supporting base plate 11 is not specifically limited and can be reasonably set according to the usage environment and space. In this embodiment, the supporting base plate 11 is generally disc-shaped, and the supporting side plates 12 are arranged in a complete ring around the edge of the supporting base plate 11. The entire chassis 1 is groove-shaped. When the self-moving platform 100 is in normal use, the groove of the chassis 1 faces downward, and the top of the chassis 1 is used for placing materials. A plurality of wheels and the supporting side plates 12 are located on the same side of the supporting base plate 11, and the height of the plurality of wheels protruding from the supporting base plate 11 is greater than the height of the supporting side plates 12 protruding from the base plate.

[0049] Preferably, such as Figure 4As shown, multiple wheels of the same type are located on the same annular surface, that is, at least two drive wheels 21 are on the same annular surface, so that when the chassis 1 is driven to move, the driving force on each side of the chassis 1 is more balanced, and thus the movement is more stable; multiple floating wheels 22 are located on the same annular surface, and when the road surface is uneven, the floating wheels 22 provide better buffering in all directions; multiple auxiliary wheels are located on the same annular surface, which can form better auxiliary support on each side of the chassis 1, ensuring the stability of the self-moving platform 100 in supporting the object.

[0050] In another embodiment, multiple wheels can be placed on the same annular surface, and a full circle of reinforcing rings can be provided between each wheel to make each wheel more stable and less prone to shaking.

[0051] Preferably, the annular surfaces on which the plurality of wheels are located are concentrically arranged, and all are concentrically arranged with the supporting base plate 11, so that the plurality of wheels are evenly supported on the bottom of the supporting base plate 11, providing more stable support for the chassis 1.

[0052] The drive wheel 21 is driven to rotate by the drive assembly 3. The rotation of the drive wheel 21 drives the chassis 1 to move, causing the floating wheel 22 and / or the auxiliary wheel to rotate together. In this utility model, "multiple" can refer to two or more. Preferably, there are two drive wheels 21, which are arranged opposite each other radially along the support base plate 11. Specifically, the two drive wheels 21 are arranged opposite each other laterally. Here, "lateral" refers to other directions such as left-right, front-back, or horizontal when the self-moving platform 100 is working normally, so as to form simultaneous driving movement on both sides. For ease of explanation, unless otherwise specified, "lateral" refers to the left-right direction and "longitudinal" refers to the front-back direction in this utility model.

[0053] Among them, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive assembly 3 includes a base 31 mounted on the support base plate 11, a driver mounted on the base 31, and a transmission structure (not shown in the figures) connected to the driver. Two drive wheels 21 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the base 31 along the lateral direction and are positioned near the edge of the support base plate 11, forming a larger support area. In one embodiment, the transmission structure is connected to both drive wheels 21, and the driver drives the transmission structure to move, causing the two drive wheels 21 to rotate together. The driver can be a drive motor, and the transmission structure can be a synchronous conveyor belt. The synchronous conveyor belt connects the motor and the two drive wheels 21, allowing the drive motor to drive the two drive wheels 21 to rotate synchronously, resulting in better synchronicity and thus ensuring greater stability of the chassis 1 during movement.

[0054] In another embodiment, two sets of drive components 3 are provided, each set being connected to one of the two drive wheels 21. The transmission structure of each set of drive components 3 is connected to the corresponding drive wheel 21, allowing the rotation of the two drive wheels 21 to be controlled independently. This enables the two drive wheels 21 to move forward independently, rotate in place, rotate simultaneously at different speeds, or have one drive wheel 21 remain stationary, making the movement of the self-moving platform 100 flexible and diverse.

[0055] The floating wheel 22 can have a certain amount of vertical movement, thus providing adaptive cushioning on uneven road surfaces. Preferably, it is combined with... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each of the floating wheels 22 includes a support frame 221, a first mounting post 222, a second mounting post 223, a telescopic member 224, and a wheel body 225. The support frame 221 is mounted on the chassis 1. The first mounting post 222 is mounted on the support frame 221 and extends vertically. The second mounting post 223 is movably sleeved inside the first mounting post 222. The telescopic member 224 is sleeved inside the first mounting post 222, and its two ends abut against the first mounting post 222 and the second mounting post 223. The wheel body 225 is rotatably mounted on the second mounting post 223. The telescopic member 224 can be configured as a telescopic spring, with its two ends connected to the first mounting post 222 and the second mounting post 223 respectively. This allows the wheel body 225 to better cushion uneven surfaces when traveling, and the self-moving platform 100 to travel more smoothly when traveling on uneven surfaces.

[0056] The number of floating wheels can be reasonably set according to the size of the self-moving platform 100, and is not specifically limited here. Preferably, when the two drive wheels 21 are arranged opposite each other in the lateral direction, two floating wheels 22 can also be provided, and the two floating wheels 22 can be arranged opposite each other in the longitudinal direction.

[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the base 31 includes a mounting groove 311 extending laterally along the support base plate 11, and support plates 312 disposed at both ends of the mounting groove 311. The two drive wheels 21 are respectively rotatably mounted on the two support plates 312. The drive unit and the synchronous conveyor belt are disposed within the mounting groove 311. The self-moving platform 100 also includes a protective cover 4, which is connected to the support base plate 11 and covers the outside of the drive assembly 3. The height of the protective cover 4 protruding from the support base plate 11 is less than the height of each wheel protruding from the support base plate 11, so as to avoid the protective cover 4 resting on the driving surface.

[0058] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the protective cover 4 includes a main body 41 and two protective ends 42 protruding from the main body 41. The main body 41 covers the outer periphery of the drive assembly 3, and the two protective ends 42 are arranged opposite each other along the longitudinal direction of the support base plate 11. Since the two drive wheels 21 are respectively located close to the edge of the support base plate 11, the protective cover 4 is relatively long in the transverse direction when it covers the mounting groove 311. In order to ensure better strength of the protective cover 4, the main body 41 is roughly rhomboid in shape, so that the main body 41 is larger in the longitudinal direction and does not fill the entire support base plate 11. There are two floating wheels 22, which are located close to the two protective ends 42, so that the floating wheels 22 have sufficient installation space. The support frame 221 of the floating wheel 22 is connected to the protective cover 4, so that the support frame 221 of the floating wheel 22 is more stable, and the entire floating wheel 22 is more stable during operation.

[0059] In another embodiment, the protective cover 4 may also be integrally formed, resulting in better rigidity and better load-bearing capacity of the self-moving platform 100.

[0060] Regarding the auxiliary wheel, the height by which it protrudes from the support base plate 11 is less than the height by which the drive wheel 21 protrudes from the support base plate 11, and also less than the height by which the floating wheel 22 protrudes from the support base plate 11. In its natural state, i.e., when the self-propelled leveling device is placed on a horizontal driving surface, the height by which the floating wheel 22 protrudes from the support base plate 11 is the same as the height by which the drive wheel 21 protrudes from the support base plate 11. Preferably, the multiple auxiliary wheels are positioned as close as possible to the edge area of ​​the support base plate 11 to improve support and better prevent objects from tipping over.

[0061] Moreover, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the self-moving platform 100 also includes a touch sensor 5, which is disposed around the outer periphery of the support side plate 12. During the movement of the self-moving platform 100, if it encounters an obstacle, the touch sensor 5 can first contact the obstacle and emit a touch signal. Of course, the self-moving platform 100 also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the touch sensor 5 and the driver. The controller can control the driver to operate based on the touch signal emitted by the touch sensor 5. For example, when an obstacle appears in front of the self-moving platform 100, the touch sensor 5 touches the obstacle and emits a touch signal. The controller can then control the driver to stop operating based on the touch signal, or the controller can control the driver to adjust the movement direction of the self-moving platform 100 to avoid the obstacle.

[0062] In one embodiment, the self-moving platform 100 further includes a brush 6 protruding from the bottom of the support side plate 12. The brush 6 is arranged in a ring shape and protrudes from the bottom of the support side plate 12. The brush 6 surrounds the outer side of the plurality of wheels. During the movement of the self-moving platform 100, the brush 6 can first pass through the movement path of the self-moving platform 100, thereby clearing debris on the movement path and preventing debris or hair from getting entangled on each of the wheels and affecting the normal operation of each wheel.

[0063] In addition, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the self-moving platform 100 also includes a battery assembly 7 and charging terminals 8 electrically connected to the battery assembly 7. The battery assembly 7 is disposed on the supporting base plate 11 and is covered inside the protective cover 4. The charging terminals 8 are disposed on the outer periphery of the supporting side plate 12 and are adapted to connect with the docking terminals on the power supply device. The power supply device can provide electrical energy to the battery assembly 7, which in turn can provide electrical energy to the driver, thereby enabling the self-moving platform 100 to operate wirelessly, with a wider operating range and more flexible operating methods.

[0064] This utility model also provides a self-moving container 1000, such as Figure 5 As shown, the self-moving container 1000 includes the aforementioned self-moving platform 100 and a container body 200. The container body 200 is mounted on the self-moving platform 100 and is integrally formed with the chassis 1 of the self-moving platform 100. The container body 200 has a cavity for placing products or materials, thereby facilitating material transfer and making it more convenient to use. The self-moving container 1000 can be configured as a tampon container, allowing the tampon container to move autonomously, making the transfer and transportation of tampons more convenient and flexible.
