Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material conveying technology, and in particular to an AGV delivery docking material rack. Background Technology
[0002] Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are transport vehicles equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic navigation devices that enable them to travel along a prescribed navigation path, provide safety protection, and perform various transfer functions. AGVs can also achieve automatic material delivery.
[0003] Although AGV carts can carry docking racks to transport materials, when the AGV carts deliver the docking racks to the loading or unloading points, the turnover boxes on the docking racks are transferred manually to the material racks at the loading or unloading points. This process is not only labor-intensive and increases labor costs, but also reduces production efficiency, failing to achieve the goal of cost reduction and efficiency improvement in the production workshop. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of inconvenience in using docking racks, high labor intensity for workers, and low production efficiency in the existing technology, and to propose an AGV delivery docking rack.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An AGV delivery docking rack includes a docking rack that matches the material rack. The docking rack includes a frame, and the frame is provided with at least one set of unloading section and loading section. The unloading section is provided with an opening and closing component for limiting the slippage of turnover boxes. When the docking rack abuts against the material rack, the opening and closing component opens.
[0007] To facilitate carrying the AGV, preferably, the frame includes a base with wheels, a fixed frame is fixedly mounted on the base, two sets of reinforcing rods are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the base, a bearing plate is fixedly mounted on the bottom end face of the reinforcing rods, the bottom of the bearing plate abuts against the top of the AGV, and both the loading and unloading parts are mounted on the fixed frame, with the unloading part located above the loading part.
[0008] To facilitate limiting the movement of the turnover box, the opening and closing assembly further includes a rotating rod rotatably mounted on the top of the fixed frame. An installation rod is fixedly mounted on the rotating rod via a connecting rod. A limiting rod for limiting the slippage of the turnover box is fixedly mounted on the installation rod. An extension rod is fixedly mounted on the installation rod. A guide wheel is fixedly mounted on the end of the extension rod away from the installation rod, and the guide wheel abuts against the material rack.
[0009] To facilitate the transfer of turnover boxes from the docking rack to the material rack, the unloading part further includes a first unloading plate, and a first rod and a third rod are fixedly installed at both ends of the fixing frame. The two ends of the first unloading plate are fixedly connected to the first rod and the third rod, respectively, and the third rod is positioned higher than the first rod in the fixing frame. The limiting rod extends towards the first rod.
[0010] Furthermore, a guide rod is fixedly installed on the fixed frame, and an adjusting rod is lifted and lowered at one end of the fixed frame, with the top of the adjusting rod abutting against the bottom end face of the extension rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the feeding section includes a second feeding plate, and a second rod and a fourth rod are fixedly installed at both ends of the fixing frame. The two ends of the second feeding plate are fixedly connected to the second rod and the fourth rod, respectively. The second rod is positioned lower than the fourth rod in the fixing frame. A stop bar for limiting the slippage of the turnover box is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing frame near the fourth rod. An activation rod is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing frame near the second rod, and the activation rod abuts against the material rack.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an AGV delivery docking rack, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This AGV delivers docking racks. The AGV carries the docking racks and moves them quickly along a preset path, realizing automatic docking between the docking racks on the AGV and the material racks. The materials are automatically loaded, unloaded, and recycled, which greatly reduces transportation time. It can replace some manual handling work, reduce labor costs, and can work continuously without interruption, unaffected by factors such as human fatigue, thus improving the continuity and efficiency of logistics operations.
[0014] 2. The AGV delivery docking rack has an adjustable rod on the fixed frame, which can limit the lowest position of the mounting rod to prevent it from rotating too downwards and affecting docking accuracy. In addition, by adjusting the extension length of the adjustable rod or changing the length of the limit rod, the rack can be limited to turnover boxes of different heights, thus improving the usage effect.
[0015] The parts not covered in this device are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model realizes the automatic docking of the docking rack on the AGV with the material rack by rapidly moving the AGV along a preset path, and the automatic loading and unloading of materials.

[0023] Example:
[0024] Reference Figures 1-4An AGV delivery docking rack includes a docking rack that matches the material rack. During use, materials are generally placed in turnover boxes and transported by other systems to a specific material rack for storage. When the docking rack carried by the AGV trolley runs to the material rack, the turnover box is released from the material rack to transfer the materials to the docking rack carried by the AGV trolley. In addition, empty boxes on the docking rack are transferred to the material rack, realizing automatic loading and unloading, which can save transportation time. Our docking rack includes a frame, on which at least one set of unloading and loading sections are provided. Depending on the usage, we provide one set of both sections. During use, empty boxes are placed on the unloading section and can be transferred to the material rack. Meanwhile, turnover boxes filled with materials on the material rack can fall onto the loading section, achieving automatic loading and unloading. The unloading section is equipped with an opening and closing component to prevent turnover boxes from sliding off. When the docking rack and material rack come into contact, the opening and closing component opens. During use, when the docking rack carried by the AGV trolley moves to the material rack, the actuating element on the material rack abuts against the opening and closing component, causing the component to open and allowing empty boxes to slide from the docking rack to the material rack. Similarly, the actuating rod 501 on the docking rack abuts against the opening and closing component on the material rack, opening the component and allowing fully loaded turnover boxes to slide onto the docking rack, achieving automatic loading and unloading. This not only reduces the labor intensity of workers but also helps improve production efficiency.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 Here, we design the frame as a base 1 with wheels. The wheels are preferably omnidirectional wheels with self-locking mechanisms. In use, this not only facilitates moving the frame but also allows it to be locked in its current position via the self-locking mechanism, improving usability. A fixing frame 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. The fixing frame 2 consists of four vertical rods and four horizontal rods. The four vertical rods are located at the four corners of the base 1. Two vertical rods on the same side of the base 1 are connected by two horizontal rods, meaning one horizontal rod is on top and one is on the bottom. Furthermore, on the base 1... Two sets of reinforcing rods 101 are fixedly installed at the bottom, arranged symmetrically. A bearing plate 102 is fixedly installed on the bottom end face of the reinforcing rods 101, with the bottom end face of the bearing plate 102 abutting against the top lifting end face of the AGV trolley. This facilitates the AGV trolley carrying the docking rack for transfer, improving efficiency. Both the loading and unloading sections are located on the fixed frame 2. Preferably, the unloading section is located above the loading section, with fully loaded turnover boxes placed below the docking rack and empty boxes placed above. This lowers the center of gravity of the docking rack and improves stability. Furthermore, we prefer to use third-generation lean pipe to make the fixed frame 2, which is not only high in strength but also has a simple connection method and is convenient to use.
[0026] Reference Figures 1-4Here, based on actual usage, the opening and closing assembly is designed with a rotating rod 4 rotatably mounted on the top of the fixed frame 2. Support rods 206 are fixedly mounted on the crossbars on both sides of the top of the fixed frame 2. A linear rotating sleeve is fixedly mounted on the top of the support rod 206. Both ends of the rotating rod 4 are fixedly connected to the rotating parts inside the linear rotating sleeve. An installation rod 401 is fixedly mounted on the rotating rod 4 via a connecting rod 402. The axis of the installation rod 401 is parallel to the axis of the rotating rod 4. A limiting rod 403 is fixedly mounted on the installation rod 401 to prevent the turnover box from sliding down. The limiting rod 403 is located far from... One end of the mounting rod 401 abuts against the top of the side wall of the turnover box, thereby restricting the turnover box. An extension rod 404 is fixedly installed on the mounting rod 401, and a guide wheel 405 is fixedly installed at the end of the extension rod 404 away from the mounting rod 401. The guide wheel 405 abuts against the material rack, and an inclined plate is fixedly installed at the corresponding position on the material rack. When the receiving rack moves closer to the material rack, the guide wheel 405 rolls upward along the inclined plate, which can cause the mounting rod 401 and the limiting rod 403 to rotate upward around the axis of the rotating rod 4, thereby transferring the empty box in the unloading section to the material rack, which has an automatic unloading effect.
[0027] Reference Figures 1-4 Here, we design the feeding section as a first feeding plate 3. Both the first feeding plate 3 and the second feeding plate 301 are preferably roller feeding plates. The rotation of the roller can promote the smooth flow of the turnover box and reduce jamming. A first rod 202 and a third rod 204 are fixedly set at both ends of the fixed frame 2, respectively. The two ends of the first feeding plate 3 are fixedly connected to the first rod 202 and the third rod 204, respectively. The third rod 204 is higher than the first rod 202 at the fixed frame 2. That is to say, the first feeding plate 3 is inclined, which facilitates the flow of the turnover box. The limiting rod 403 extends to the first rod 202, which can restrict the turnover box on the first feeding plate 3. In use, by setting the first feeding plate 3 at an inclination, it is easy for the turnover box to slide. Moreover, setting the limiting rod 403 at the lower end of the first feeding plate 3 makes it easy to restrict the turnover box and improve the use effect.
[0028] Reference Figure 4A guide rod 201 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 2, and an adjusting rod 207 is raised and lowered at one end of the fixed frame 2. Here, the height of the adjusting rod 207 is adjusted by bolts. By loosening the bolts, the adjusting rod 207 can be pulled up or pushed down. After adjustment, the bolts are tightened so that the end of the bolt thread abuts against the outer wall of the adjusting rod 207, fixing the adjusting rod 207 in the current position. The top of the adjusting rod 207 abuts against the bottom end face of the extension rod 404. In use, by setting the adjusting rod 207 on the fixed frame 2, the lowest position of the installation rod 401 can be limited, preventing the installation rod 401 from rotating too downward and affecting the docking accuracy. Moreover, by adjusting the extension length of the adjusting rod 207 or changing the length of the limiting rod 403, the turnover boxes of different heights can be limited, improving the usage effect.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-3 Here, we design the loading section as a second unloading plate 301. A second rod 203 and a fourth rod 205 are fixedly installed at both ends of the fixing frame 2. The two ends of the second unloading plate 301 are fixedly connected to the second rod 203 and the fourth rod 205, respectively. The second rod 203 is positioned lower than the fourth rod 205 on the fixing frame 2, meaning the second unloading plate 301 is also inclined, but in the opposite direction to the first unloading plate 3. A stop bar 5 is fixedly installed at the end of the fixing frame 2 near the fourth rod 205 to prevent the turnover box from sliding down. When the turnover box slides onto the second unloading plate 301, the stop bar 5 can intercept the turnover box on the second unloading plate 301. To prevent slippage from the second feed plate 301 and improve efficiency, a starting rod 501 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixed frame 2 near the second rod 203. The starting rod 501 abuts against the material rack. An opening and closing assembly is also provided on the material rack. However, this assembly does not have a mounting rod 401, connecting rod 402, extension rod 404, and guide wheel 405. Instead, a limiting rod 403 is fixed to a rotating rod 4. A push plate is then fixed on the rotating rod 4. When the receiving rack approaches the material rack, one end of the starting rod 501 abuts against the push plate, which drives the limiting rod 403 to rotate upward around the axis of the rotating rod 4. At this time, the turnover box on the material rack slides into the upward material section, realizing automatic feeding.
[0030] In this invention, the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) carries the docking rack and moves rapidly along a preset path, realizing the automatic docking of the docking rack and the material rack on the AGV, automatic loading and unloading of materials and recycling, which greatly reduces transportation time, can replace some manual handling work, reduce labor costs, and can work continuously without interruption, unaffected by factors such as human fatigue, thus improving the continuity and efficiency of logistics operations.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
