Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material transportation technology, and in particular to an AGV transfer frame for large integrated die-cast parts. Background Technology
[0002] Integrated die casting technology is widely used in many fields such as automotive and aerospace. Integrated die-cast parts are typically large in size, complex in shape, and heavy in weight. During the production process, the die-cast parts need to be transferred from the die-casting machine station to subsequent processing, inspection, or storage stations.
[0003] Currently, traditional material handling methods have many problems. For example, manually moving material crates with forklifts is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also prone to damage due to improper operation, affecting product quality. To address this, existing technology uses automated guided vehicles (AGVs) to place the material crates and achieve transfer. However, when loading parts using this method, the material crates are placed upright on the AGV, and during loading, the crates may shake, shift, or even fall, posing safety hazards to production. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention addresses the technical problem that existing AGV transfer frames, when placed on automated guided vehicles (AGVs) during loading, may shake, shift, or even fall, posing safety hazards to production. The invention provides an AGV transfer frame for large integrated die-cast parts.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:
[0006] An AGV transfer frame for large integrated die-cast parts includes a frame body, which includes a horizontally arranged base frame, multiple support legs whose upper ends are fixedly connected to the lower side of the base frame, and two sets of frames whose lower ends are fixedly connected to the upper side of the base frame. A lifting channel for AGV trolleys to enter and exit is formed between each of the support legs, and the two sets of frames are arranged opposite to each other at both ends of the base frame.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: when loading and unloading die-cast parts, the support legs support the ground to maintain the stability of the transfer frame. At the same time, when moving the entire transfer frame, the AGV trolley travels on the underside of the base frame through the lifting channel and lifts the transfer frame, so that the transfer frame is lifted off the ground and moved under the action of the AGV trolley to realize the transfer. This improves the existing technical problem that the existing material frame, which is placed on the automatic guide vehicle during the loading process, may shake, shift, or even fall, posing a safety hazard to production.
[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0009] Furthermore, a positioning plate is installed at the lower center of the base frame, and the positioning plate is provided with a first identification device for AGV vehicle identification.
[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it enables the AGV to identify the relevant information that it needs to transport by recognizing the first identification device, such as accurately identifying the material frame and recognizing the orientation of the material frame, so as to prevent collisions and interference during the transfer process.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a positioning support unit fixed to the upper side of the base frame. The positioning support unit includes at least two sets of No. 1 positioning support components arranged along the arrangement direction of the two frames. Each No. 1 positioning support component includes a No. 1 support frame fixedly connected to the base frame, multiple No. 1 support rods, and multiple No. 1 support blocks. The multiple No. 1 support rods are all vertically arranged and their lower ends are all connected to the No. 1 support frame. The number of multiple No. 1 support blocks is equal to the number of multiple No. 1 support rods, and they are connected one-to-one to the top of each No. 1 support rod.
[0012] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme are: when transferring die-cast parts, the die-cast parts are simultaneously supported by the No. 1 support blocks of each No. 1 positioning support assembly to achieve stable transfer of the die-cast parts; specifically, along the arrangement direction of the two frames, multiple No. 1 support blocks of each No. 1 positioning support assembly located on the same straight line form a group to jointly support and transfer a die-cast part. In this way, multiple groups of No. 1 support blocks can simultaneously support and transfer multiple die-cast parts, which can improve transfer efficiency.
[0013] Furthermore, a positioning groove is provided on the upper side of each of the first support blocks.
[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that when the die-cast parts are supported by each No. 1 support block, the local structure of the die-cast parts is positioned by the No. 1 positioning groove to achieve positioning and transfer and reduce shaking.
[0015] Furthermore, the positioning support unit also includes at least two sets of second positioning support components arranged along the arrangement direction of the two frames. Each second positioning support component includes a second support frame fixedly connected to the base frame, multiple second support rods, and multiple second support blocks. The multiple second support rods are all vertically arranged and their lower ends are all connected to the second support frame. The number of multiple second support blocks is equal to the number of multiple second support rods, and they are connected one-to-one to the top of each second support rod. Each first support block and each second support block are located in different straight lines, and the support height of each first support block is higher than that of each second support block.
[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further scheme are as follows: When transferring die-cast parts, the die-cast parts are simultaneously supported by the second support blocks of each second positioning support assembly to achieve stable transfer of the die-cast parts; specifically, along the arrangement direction of the two frames, multiple second support blocks of each second positioning support assembly located on the same straight line form a group to jointly support and transfer a die-cast part. In this way, multiple groups of second support blocks can simultaneously support and transfer multiple die-cast parts, which can improve transfer efficiency. The support height of the first support block is higher than that of the second support block, so that the first support block and the second support block can support and transfer two different integrated die-cast part products respectively.
[0017] Furthermore, each of the second support blocks has a second positioning groove on its upper side.
[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that when the die-cast parts are supported by each No. 2 support block, the local structure of the die-cast parts is positioned by the No. 2 positioning groove to achieve positioning and transfer and reduce shaking.
[0019] Furthermore, the positioning support unit also includes multiple visual positioning blocks, which are evenly distributed on each of the first support frames.
[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that when the transfer frame is placed upright at the framing station for framing the die-cast parts, the automatic framing station robot can perform visual positioning through each visual positioning block to provide a positioning basis for the automatic framing and placement of the product.
[0021] Furthermore, the positioning support unit also includes multiple positioning components, which are evenly distributed on the top of the two frames and arranged opposite each other in pairs. Each positioning component has a limiting groove on the side away from its corresponding frame.
[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that when the die-cast parts are placed on the No. 1 positioning support assembly, the die-cast parts can be limited by the limiting grooves of each positioning assembly to prevent the products from shaking or tipping over during transportation.
[0023] Furthermore, the base frame is provided with a label position, and the label position is provided with a second identification device.
[0024] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it enables the identification of product information through the second identification device in subsequent production, warehousing and other stages.
[0025] Furthermore, both frames are fixedly connected to the lower end with multiple diagonal braces, and each diagonal brace is also fixedly connected to the base frame.
[0026] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it enables the frame to be supported by each diagonal brace, thereby improving the structural strength of the entire transfer frame. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 An AGV transfer frame for large integrated die-cast parts includes a frame body 1. The frame body 1 includes a horizontally arranged base frame 11, multiple support legs 12 whose upper ends are fixedly connected to the lower side of the base frame 11, and two sets of frames 13 whose lower ends are fixedly connected to the upper side of the base frame 11. A lifting channel 14 for AGV trolleys to enter and exit is formed between each support leg 12. The two sets of frames 13 are arranged opposite to each other at both ends of the base frame 11.
[0041] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are: when loading and unloading die-cast parts, the support legs 12 support the ground to maintain the stability of the transfer frame. At the same time, when the entire transfer frame is moved, the AGV trolley travels under the base frame 11 from the lifting channel 14 and lifts the transfer frame, so that the transfer frame is lifted off the ground and moved under the action of the AGV trolley to realize the transfer. This improves the existing technical problem that the existing material frame placed on the automatic guide vehicle during the loading process may shake, shift, or even fall, which brings safety hazards to production.
[0042] In use, the AGV adopts a submerged lifting mode, using a lifting platform to lift and transfer the material frame. The large flat lifting platform increases the contact area with the material frame, providing better stability.

[0045] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that it enables the AGV to identify the relevant information that it needs to transport by recognizing the first identification device, such as accurately recognizing the material frame and recognizing the orientation of the material frame, so as to prevent collisions and interference during the transfer process.
[0046] The first identification device can be a QR code label, which stores the material frame number information and the material frame orientation information.
[0047] Example 3
[0048] like Figures 1 to 4Based on embodiments 1 and 2, a positioning support unit is fixed to the upper side of the base frame 11. The positioning support unit includes at least two sets of No. 1 positioning support components 3 arranged along the arrangement direction of the two frames 13. Each No. 1 positioning support component 3 includes a No. 1 support frame 31 fixedly connected to the base frame 11, multiple No. 1 support rods 32, and multiple No. 1 support blocks 33. The multiple No. 1 support rods 32 are all vertically arranged and their lower ends are all connected to the No. 1 support frame 31. The number of multiple No. 1 support blocks 33 is equal to the number of multiple No. 1 support rods 32, and they are connected one-to-one to the top of each No. 1 support rod 32.
[0049] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that, when transferring die-cast parts, the die-cast parts are simultaneously supported by the first support block 33 of each first positioning support component 3 to achieve stable transfer of the die-cast parts; specifically, along the arrangement direction of the two frames 13, multiple first support blocks 33 of each first positioning support component 3 located on the same straight line form a group to jointly support and transfer a die-cast part. In this way, multiple groups of first support blocks 33 can simultaneously support and transfer multiple die-cast parts, which can improve transfer efficiency.
[0050] In the figure, there are 5 support blocks 33 on each support frame 31.

[0054] Positioning slot 331 is a V-shaped groove.
[0055] Example 5

Each second positioning support component 4 includes a second support frame 41 fixedly connected to the base frame 11, multiple second support rods 42, and multiple second support blocks 43. The multiple second support rods 42 are all vertically arranged and their lower ends are all connected to the second support frame 41. The number of multiple second support blocks 43 is equal to the number of multiple second support rods 42, and they are connected one-to-one to the top of each second support rod 42. Each first support block 33 and each second support block 43 are located in different straight lines, and the support height of each first support block 33 is higher than that of each second support block 43.
[0057] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred scheme in the above embodiments is that, when transferring die-cast parts, the die-cast parts are simultaneously supported by the second support blocks 43 of each second positioning support component 4 to achieve stable transfer of the die-cast parts; specifically, along the arrangement direction of the two frames 13, multiple second support blocks 43 of each second positioning support component 4 located on the same straight line form a group to jointly support and transfer a die-cast part. In this way, multiple groups of second support blocks 43 can simultaneously support and transfer multiple die-cast parts, which can improve transfer efficiency. The support height of the first support block 33 is higher than the support height of the second support block 43, so that the first support block 33 and the second support block 43 can support and transfer two different integrated die-cast part products respectively.
[0058] Specifically, the two sets of No. 1 positioning support components 3 are respectively set outside or inside the two sets of No. 2 positioning support components 4, or the two sets of No. 1 positioning support components 3 and the two sets of No. 2 positioning support components 4 arranged along the arrangement direction of the two frames 13 are alternately set.

Each positioning component 6 has a limiting groove 61 on the side away from its corresponding frame 13.
[0068] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiments is that when the die-cast part is placed on the first positioning support component 3, the die-cast part can be limited by the limiting groove 61 of each positioning component 6 to prevent the product from shaking or tipping over during the transfer process.
[0069] Among them, the limiting groove 61 is a U-shaped flared opening structure.
