Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motor technology, and specifically relates to an integrated motor for drive wheels of AGVs. Background Technology
[0002] AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) is a type of mobile robot and an important piece of equipment in modern industrial logistics systems. It is mainly used for storing and transporting various materials and provides an important guarantee for the flexibility, integration and high efficiency of the system. Among them, the control of the drive wheel motor of the AGV is one of its key technologies.
[0003] There are two common AC servo motor configurations on the market: one is to equip a separate drive control unit and wheel-side reducer, and the other is to use an external drive in conjunction with the wheel-side reducer and AC servo motor. However, configuring these two components separately occupies a significant amount of space, which may limit the design and layout flexibility of AGVs with limited space. Furthermore, for precise motion control, the servo motor and reducer need to work closely together. Improper synchronization and coordination can affect the AGV's motion accuracy and stability. In some cases, the motor's peak characteristics cause it to stop outputting peak torque after exceeding the peak torque base speed point, instead reducing torque output. This prevents the motor from consistently operating in its high-efficiency range, thus reducing motor efficiency. These factors can limit the performance, stability, and cost-effectiveness of AGVs. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an integrated motor that integrates a wheel-side reducer, an AC servo motor, and a drive control unit into one unit, resulting in a small space layout, compact structure, low cost, and good performance.

[0006] An integrated drive wheel motor for AGVs includes a wheel-side reducer, an AC servo motor, and a drive control unit. The input end of the wheel-side reducer is driven and connected to the output end of the AC servo motor. A positioning slot is formed on the mounting surface of the wheel-side reducer, and the positioning slot is positioned and installed with the mounting flange of the AC servo motor. The drive control unit is integrated and installed on a rear end cover, and the rotation sensing magnetic bead of the drive control unit is installed at the tail end of the rotor shaft of the AC servo motor. A motor rear cover is installed on the rear end cover, which encapsulates the drive control unit.
[0007] Preferably, the wheel-side reducer includes a reducer, a wheel hub, and a rubber-coated wheel. The wheel hub is fitted onto the outer periphery of the planetary gearbox of the reducer and is fixedly connected by a number of locking screws. The rubber-coated wheel is integrally injection molded on the outer periphery of the wheel hub.
[0008] Preferably, a magnetic bead holder is installed at the tail end of the rotor shaft of the AC servo motor, and a through hole is opened on the rear end cover for the magnetic bead holder to pass through. The rotation sensing magnetic bead of the drive control unit is installed on the magnetic bead holder, and the rotation sensing magnetic bead and the magnetic sensing element of the drive control unit work together in mutual induction.
[0009] Preferably, a mounting cavity is formed between the motor rear cover and the rear end cover, and a fixed bracket is provided in the mounting cavity, on which the drive control unit is mounted.
[0010] Preferably, the AC servo motor is a low-voltage AC servo motor.
[0011] Preferably, the front mounting surface of the AC servo motor is locked and fixed to the wheel-side reducer by screws.
