Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent central kitchens and in-flight catering, specifically to a clamp-type traction AMR in the field of intelligent central kitchens and in-flight catering. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the intelligent central kitchen and in-flight catering industry faces complex on-site conditions with high water and oil content in the environment, and most of the vehicles are incompatible with existing handling tools. Therefore, the main transportation methods are manual handling or rail transport. Manual handling is inefficient, and the labor intensity and cost of workers are very high. Rail transport has high maintenance costs, and it is difficult to optimize the route in the future. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of low transportation efficiency, high labor intensity, numerous safety hazards, and high cost and difficulty in maintenance and optimization in the current field of intelligent central kitchen and in-flight catering, and to realize unmanned handling of vehicles by providing a clamp-type towing AMR for the field of intelligent central kitchen and in-flight catering.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve the above objectives is as follows:

[0005] A clamp-type AMR for intelligent central kitchens and in-flight catering includes a C-shaped vehicle body. Clamp fixing devices are installed on both sides of the C-shaped vehicle body. The clamp fixing devices on both sides are positioned opposite each other, clamping a carrier located in the middle of the C-shaped vehicle body. Each clamp fixing device includes a drive motor, a lead screw, and a clamping component. The drive motor is mounted on the C-shaped vehicle body, the lead screw is connected to the drive motor, a nut is mounted on the lead screw, and the clamping component is mounted on the nut. The drive motor drives the lead screw to move the nut, causing the clamping component to move to the clamping position to clamp the carrier.

[0006] A bearing assembly is installed at the end of the lead screw, and the bearing assembly is mounted on the C-type vehicle body.

[0007] The lead screw is connected to the drive motor via a coupling.

[0008] The clamping component includes a baffle plate, which is mounted on a nut. A track-type bushing is fitted on the lead screw, and the track-type bushing has a spiral track hole. The baffle plate is inserted into the spiral track hole. The drive motor drives the lead screw to drive the nut, so that the baffle plate rotates and advances along the spiral track hole to the clamping position to clamp the carrier.

[0009] The clamping component includes a serrated clamping plate, which is connected to a nut via a scissor-type connecting rod. The drive motor drives the lead screw to move the nut, causing the scissor-type connecting rod to move the serrated clamping plate forward to the clamping position to clamp the carrier.

[0010] The features of this utility model are: it adopts a C-shaped vehicle body, fixes the vehicle in a clamping manner, and completes the transportation of the vehicle between multiple areas through autonomous navigation, realizing unmanned handling of the vehicle, thereby improving transportation efficiency and reducing the intensity of manual labor.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model is a clamp-type towing AMR (Automatic Mobile Navigation Vehicle) for the fields of intelligent central kitchens and in-flight catering. The robot includes a C-shaped body 1, with clamping and fixing devices 2 installed on both sides of the C-shaped body 1. The clamping and fixing devices 2 on both sides are positioned opposite each other, with the clamping device 9 located in the middle of the C-shaped body 1. The C-shaped body 1 facilitates the clamping function and allows the steering axis to be set as the center of the body, thus enabling more reasonable route planning. The main structure of the C-shaped body 1 is made of engineering plastics, stainless steel, and aluminum, which can effectively prevent corrosion caused by long-term operation in humid or splashing environments. This utility model has autonomous navigation 3, safety protection 4, motion control 5, energy management 6, remote control 7, and real-time broadcasting functions. It travels and positions itself autonomously, and has multiple safety protection measures such as radar obstacle avoidance, contact collision avoidance, and manual emergency stop. It completes walking, turning, and 360° rotation through dual-wheel differential drive. It can monitor battery information in real time and can autonomously recharge and return. In areas covered by wireless networks, the AMR can follow the system's dispatch for driving and movement. The current operating status of the AMR can be broadcast in real time through lights and voice. Example 1

[0018] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the clamping and fixing device 2 includes a drive motor 200, a lead screw 202, and a clamping component. The drive motor 200 is mounted on the C-shaped car body 1. The lead screw 202 is connected to the drive motor 200 via a coupling 201. A bearing assembly 203 is mounted on the end of the lead screw 202, and the bearing assembly 203 is mounted on the C-shaped car body 1. A nut 204 is mounted on the lead screw 202. The clamping component includes a baffle 213, which is mounted on the nut 204. The system is equipped with a track-type bushing 211, which has a spiral track hole 212. The baffle 213 is inserted into the spiral track hole 212. In use, after the carrier 9 is in place, the two sets of drive motors 200 operate synchronously. The drive motors 200 drive the lead screw 202 to drive the nut 204, causing the baffle 213 to rotate along the spiral track hole 212 during the translation of the nut 204. This achieves the purpose of blocking and clamping the carrier 9 by rotating the baffle 213 out through the lead screw transmission after the carrier 9 is in place. Example 2

[0019] like Figure 1 , 4As shown in Figure 5, the clamping and fixing device 2 includes a drive motor 200, a lead screw 202, and a clamping component. The drive motor 200 is mounted on the C-type vehicle body 1. The lead screw 202 is connected to the drive motor 200 via a coupling 201. A bearing assembly 203 is mounted on the end of the lead screw 202, and the bearing assembly 203 is mounted on the C-type vehicle body 1. A nut 204 is mounted on the lead screw 202. The clamping component includes a serrated clamping plate 222, which is connected to the nut 204 via a scissor-type connecting rod 221. In use, after the carrier 9 is in place, the two sets of drive motors 200 operate synchronously. The drive motor 200 drives the lead screw 202 to move the nut 204, causing the scissor-type connecting rod 221 to move the serrated clamping plate 222 to press against the side of the carrier 9 until it clamps the carrier 9, thereby achieving the purpose of clamping and fixing.

[0020] This utility model uses a C-shaped vehicle body 1 to fix the vehicle in a clamping manner, and completes the transportation of the vehicle between multiple areas through autonomous navigation, realizing unmanned handling of the vehicle 9, thereby improving transportation efficiency and reducing manual labor intensity.
