Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of AGV technology, specifically an AGV capable of stable transport and placement. Background Technology

[0002] In today's highly automated modern logistics and industrial production, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) play a crucial role as key equipment for automating material handling. They can automatically travel along predetermined paths according to preset programs, effectively reducing labor costs and improving operational efficiency. They are widely used in warehousing, manufacturing, e-commerce, and other industries. However, with existing AGV technology, when lifting heavy objects to stack them at heights, cameras struggle to track the specific status of the goods. If the forks are pulled out before the goods are stacked in the designated position, the goods may still be carried away by the forks, reducing transport efficiency. Furthermore, when transporting goods, relying solely on the weight of the goods to hold them on the forks can cause them to tilt forward or overturn, potentially damaging them in severe cases. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide an AGV that can stably transport and place goods, in order to solve the problem that existing AGV transport vehicles have difficulty detecting whether the goods are in place, and that the forks are pulled out before the goods are stacked in the designated position, resulting in the goods still being taken away by the forks.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution of this utility model is as follows: An AGV capable of stable transport and placement includes an AGV body, a gantry, a lifting mechanism, a connecting block, a connecting frame, forks, and a triggering mechanism. The gantry is mounted on the AGV body, the lifting mechanism is mounted on the gantry, the lifting mechanism is connected to the connecting block and drives the connecting block to move up and down, the forks are fixed to the connecting block through the connecting frame, and the triggering mechanism is mounted on the bottom of the forks.

[0005] The triggering mechanism includes a limiting cylinder, a mounting base, a ball bearing, a sliding plate, a trigger, a press-type sensor, and an elastic element. The bottom of the fork has a blind hole, and the limiting cylinder is installed in the blind hole. The ball bearing is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting base. The mounting base is fixed to the sliding plate. Both the mounting base and the sliding plate are vertically slidably connected in the limiting cylinder. The trigger is fixed to the top surface of the sliding plate. The press-type sensor is installed on the top of the limiting cylinder, and the press-type sensor and the trigger are vertically opposite each other. The elastic element is installed above the sliding plate, and the press-type sensor is signal-connected to the AGV body.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes an adsorption mechanism, which includes a mounting frame, a vacuum pump, an air suction pipe, and a suction cup. The mounting frame is fixed on the connecting block, the vacuum pump is mounted on the mounting frame, and the suction cup is mounted on the upper surface of the fork. The vacuum pump and the suction cup are connected through the air suction pipe.

[0007] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a winder, a winding rope, a pulley, a hook, a connecting block, and a guide block. The winder is mounted on the AGV body, the winding rope is wound on the winder, the pulley is mounted on the top of the gantry, the end of the winding rope passes over the pulley and is fixed to the hook, the connecting block is fixedly connected to the hook, the guide block is fixed on both sides of the connecting block, the inner side of the gantry is provided with a sliding groove, the guide block is slidably connected in the sliding groove, and the connecting block is fixed on the connecting block.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this solution are: (1) When in use, by starting the rewinder, the rewinding rope can be driven to pull up the hook and the mating block, which can then drive the connecting block and the fork to lift the goods. After transporting the goods to the designated position, the fork is lowered. When the fork is lowered to the designated position, the ball is squeezed and will drive the mounting base, the slide plate and the trigger to trigger the press sensor. The press sensor transmits a signal to the AGV body to confirm the placement. The AGV body moves and at this time the fork is removed, which improves the stability of placing the goods.

[0009] (2) By starting the vacuum pump, the suction pipe and suction cup can be driven to draw air, which can firmly attach the cargo plate to the fork, preventing the cargo from falling forward or to the side during transportation and improving the safety of transporting goods.
