Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of AGV handling technology, specifically to an anti-collision device for AGV unmanned transport vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) have wide applications in various fields. In industrial manufacturing, they can reliably transport large steel components or precision parts, reducing human error and improving production efficiency. In warehousing and logistics, they are responsible for moving goods to and from shelves, optimizing warehouse space utilization, and improving logistics efficiency.

[0003] Currently, the anti-collision devices for AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) unmanned transport vehicles (AGVs) consist of anti-collision plates installed at both ends of the vehicle. For example, patent CN218663845U discloses an anti-collision AGV vehicle that uses springs to generate cushioning and prevent damage to the vehicle; this is a protective device only for AGV vehicles. However, during cargo handling, the dimensions of the transported goods are sometimes much larger than the AGV itself, especially when the goods extend beyond the left and right ends of the AGV. In such cases, existing anti-collision plates are ineffective. During transport, the ends of the goods may encounter obstacles, and after a collision, the goods can easily fall off or even be damaged. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an anti-collision device for AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle). The protective frame can surround the goods, not only positioning them to ensure safety during transportation, but also preventing them from colliding with obstacles before the goods and AGV itself. The buffer ball mitigates the impact force on the goods and AGV, thus providing protection and achieving dual protection for both the goods and the AGV.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An anti-collision device for an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) includes a fixed frame fixed to the outside of the AGV and a protective frame connected to the fixed frame via a support frame. The protective frame is located above the AGV and includes a first protective rod, a second protective rod, a third protective rod, and a fourth protective rod. The first and second protective rods are interlocked. The ends of the first and second protective rods that are far apart are vertically connected to the third protective rod. The third protective rod is interlocked into the fourth protective rod. A third positioning bolt for fixing the third protective rod is provided on the side wall of the fourth protective rod. The fourth protective rod is connected to the support frame, and the support frame is slidably connected to the fixed frame. A buffer ball is provided at the connection between the third protective rod and the first and second protective rods.

[0007] Preferably, the cushioning ball is made of sponge or rubber.

[0008] Preferably, the side wall of the support frame is provided with a guide sleeve, the support frame includes a first support rod that cooperates with the guide sleeve, the side wall of the guide sleeve is provided with a first positioning bolt for fixing the first support rod, and the end of the second support rod is connected to the fourth protective rod through the second support rod.

[0009] Preferably, the guide sleeve has a limiting hole on its side wall, and the end of the first support rod has a limiting block that cooperates with the limiting hole.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the first support rod is provided with a support sleeve, the second support rod is inserted into the support sleeve, and the side wall of the support sleeve is provided with a second positioning bolt for fixing the second support rod.

[0011] Preferably, the length of the third guard rod is not less than half the length of the fourth guard rod.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The protective frame of this utility model can protect the goods from all sides. It can not only position the goods and ensure safety during transportation, but also, when encountering obstacles, it will collide with the obstacles before the goods and AGV. The buffer ball reduces the impact force on the goods and AGV, thus playing a protective role and achieving dual protection for the goods and AGV.

[0014] 2. The protective frame of this utility model can be adjusted in size and height according to the size of the goods, which increases its versatility and expands its application range. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) anti-collision device includes a fixed frame 2 fixed to the outside of the AGV trolley 1 and a protective frame 4 connected to the fixed frame 2 via a support frame 3. The protective frame 4 is located above the AGV trolley 1, and its length and width are both greater than the length and width of the AGV trolley 1. During transportation, when an obstacle is encountered, the protective frame 4 will first collide with the goods, and the AGV trolley 1 will first collide with the obstacle, thereby protecting the goods and the AGV trolley 1.

[0021] The protective frame 4 includes a first protective rod 401, a second protective rod 402, a third protective rod 403, and a fourth protective rod 404. The first protective rod 401 and the second protective rod 402 are interlocked. The third protective rod 403 is vertically connected to the ends of the first protective rod 401 and the second protective rod 402 that are far apart from each other. The third protective rod 403 is inserted into the fourth protective rod 404, thus forming a rectangular frame structure to protect the goods above the AGV trolley 1.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the fourth guard rod 404 has a third positioning bolt 405 on its side wall for fixing the third guard rod 403. The fourth guard rod 404 is connected to the support frame 3. The support frame 3 and the fixed frame 2 are slidably fitted together. A buffer ball 5 is provided at the connection between the third guard rod 403 and the first guard rod 401 and the second guard rod 402. Alternatively, the buffer ball 5 can be fitted on the outside of the first guard rod 401 and the fourth guard rod 404. When a collision occurs, the buffer ball 5 contacts the obstacle and plays a role in buffering and shock absorption.

[0023] The cushioning ball 5 is made of sponge or rubber.

[0024] like Figure 2As shown, a guide sleeve 202 is provided on the side wall of the support frame. The support frame 3 includes a first support rod 301 that cooperates with the guide sleeve 202. A first positioning bolt 201 for fixing the first support rod 301 is provided on the side wall of the guide sleeve 202. The end of the second support rod 304 is connected to the fourth protective rod 404 through the second support rod 304. The first support rod 301 slides with the guide sleeve 202, which can adjust the width of the protective frame 4. The third protective rod 403 slides with the fourth protective rod 404. The length of the third protective rod 403 is not less than half the length of the fourth protective rod 404, which can adjust the length of the protective frame 4, thereby adapting to the size of the goods. The protective frame 4 can protect the goods from all sides to avoid collisions and can also fix the goods to prevent them from falling.

[0025] The guide sleeve 202 has a limiting hole 203 on its side wall, and the end of the first support rod 301 has a limiting block 305 that cooperates with the limiting hole 203.

[0026] The end of the first support rod 301 is provided with a support sleeve 302, and the second support rod 304 is inserted into the support sleeve 302. The side wall of the support sleeve 302 is provided with a second positioning bolt 303 to fix the second support rod 304. The height of the protective frame 4 can be adjusted according to the height of the goods to ensure the safety of goods transportation.

[0027] When in use, adjust the height and size of the protective frame 4 according to the size of the goods so that the protective frame 4 can protect and position the goods from all sides.

[0028] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope.
