[0002] Typically, multiple AGVs, along with a control computer (control console), navigation equipment, charging equipment, and peripheral auxiliary equipment, constitute an AGV system. Against the backdrop of rising labor costs and the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, AGVs are increasingly widely used in manufacturing factories as a perfect replacement for manual material delivery. The development of intelligent manufacturing technology has also continuously expanded the application areas of AGVs. The application of AGVs in manufacturing workshops has evolved from a few vehicles for a single project in the early days to hundreds of vehicles today, and the operating mode has also evolved from point-to-point single-cycle operation to clustered multi-cycle coordinated scheduling. In this clustered application scenario, the status tracking and operation and maintenance management of AGV batteries are becoming increasingly difficult. Relying on simple charging logic cannot meet the various needs of AGV cluster operation and maintenance, specifically the following:

[0003] 1. AGVs are numerous, widely distributed, and dynamically changing. The performance status of AGV batteries is difficult to monitor and troubleshoot, and battery failures can easily cause delivery tasks to fail, affecting the overall delivery efficiency of the system.

[0004] 2. AGVs operate in complex environments and are easily subject to human or other equipment interference, resulting in situations where they run out of power while stationary for extended periods.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides an AGV cluster battery monitoring device. Utility Model Content

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides a technical solution: an AGV cluster battery monitoring device, including a detection body 1, the detection body 1 being L-shaped, a main controller 5 fixedly installed inside the top of the detection body 1, the main controller 5 including a microprocessor, a communication module and a memory, an AGV cluster trolley 2 being installed above the bottom of the detection body 1 via a limiting mechanism, the limiting mechanism including an installation groove 12 and a movable baffle 13, an RFID card 10 being affixed to the outer wall of one end of the AGV cluster trolley 2, the bottom of the RFID card 10 being fixedly provided with an inner contact 9, and the internal mounting of the AGV cluster trolley 2 being... Equipped with an internal controller 11, an RFID reader 6 is fixedly installed inside the side wall at the top of the detection body 1. An elastic anti-collision bar is fixedly installed below the internal contact 9 at one end of the AGV cluster vehicle 2. The internal controller 11 includes a microprocessor, a battery detection module, and a communication module. The internal controller 11 can detect the battery inside the AGV cluster vehicle 2 and transmit the battery data to the main controller 5 through the communication module and transceiver antenna. This facilitates battery monitoring and troubleshooting of the AGV cluster vehicle 2, and makes it convenient to recharge or replace the battery of the AGV cluster vehicle 2 in the future, thereby ensuring the efficiency of cargo transportation and high practicality.

[0023] In this embodiment, a display screen 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the main controller 5, corresponding to the side wall of the detection body 1. The display screen 3 is positioned above the RFID reader 6. A transceiver antenna 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the detection body 1, corresponding to the position of the main controller 5. The transceiver antenna 4, the display screen 3, and the RFID reader 6 are electrically connected to the main controller 5. The RFID reader 6 is located on one side of the RFID card 10. The RFID card 10 contains information about the AGV cluster vehicle 2. The RFID reader 6 can read the information inside the RFID card 10, facilitating the identification of the AGV cluster vehicle 2. The main controller 5 and the transceiver antenna 4 can receive the battery status information of the AGV cluster vehicle 2 and display it on the display screen 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, an inner cavity is provided below the RFID reader 6 corresponding to the inside of the detection body 1. A hydraulic rod 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the inner cavity. A charging head 8 is fixedly installed at one end of the output rod of the hydraulic rod 7. One end of the charging head 8 is located on one side of the inner contact 9. The charging head 8 is electrically connected to the main controller 5. The hydraulic rod 7 drives the charging head 8 to move and contact the inner contact 9, so as to facilitate the charging of the AGV cluster vehicle 2 by contact charging.

[0025] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 12 is symmetrically opened on both sides of the bottom of the detection body 1. One end of the movable baffle 13 is movably installed inside the mounting groove 12 through a torsion spring shaft. The movable baffle 13 is an iron plate. An electromagnet 14 is fixedly installed inside the bottom of the mounting groove 12. The electromagnet 14 is located below the movable baffle 13. A fixing block 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the AGV cluster vehicle 2 corresponding to the position of the movable baffle 13. When the AGV cluster vehicle 2 moves onto the detection body 1, it can squeeze the movable baffle 13 through the fixing block 15. Through the limiting effect of the movable baffle 13 and the fixing block 15, the stability of the AGV cluster vehicle 2 can be improved, making it convenient to scan codes and recharge.

[0026] When using the AGV cluster battery monitoring device, the detection body 1 is fixedly installed, with its bottom edge flush with the ground. This allows the AGV cluster trolley 2 to move above the detection body 1. The battery detection module in the internal controller 11 detects the battery status inside the AGV cluster trolley 2 and transmits the battery status data to the main controller 5 via the communication module and transceiver antenna 4. The controller then determines the battery status of the AGV cluster trolley 2. If the AGV cluster trolley 2 has insufficient power, it moves to one end above the detection body 1. The AGV cluster trolley 2 then presses against the movable baffle 13 via the fixed block 15. The movable baffle 13 rotates inward into the mounting groove 12 under the action of the torsion spring shaft. An elastic anti-collision bar contacts the side wall of the detection body 1 to prevent collisions between the AGV cluster trolley 2 and the detection body 1. Simultaneously, the movable baffle 13 rotates in the opposite direction under the torque of the torsion spring shaft, facilitating the passage of the movable baffle. The plate 13 and the fixing block 15 limit the movement of the AGV cluster vehicle 2, improving its stability. The RFID reader 6 reads the information of the AGV cluster vehicle 2 from the RFID card 10, writes corresponding charging and activation programs into the main controller 5 based on different battery brands and models, and compares this with the received battery information. Based on the corresponding battery brand and model and the battery level inside the AGV cluster vehicle 2, the hydraulic rod 7 is activated, driving the charging head 8 to move. The charging head 8 contacts the internal contact 9, facilitating charging of the AGV cluster vehicle 2. The battery detection module in the main controller 5 detects and corrects the real-time battery level of the AGV cluster vehicle 2, and also monitors and troubleshoots the battery status. Customized charging and activation programs are used to replenish and activate the battery, ensuring the normal operation of the AGV cluster vehicle 2, avoiding impact on delivery efficiency, and demonstrating high practicality.

This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
