[0033] Embodiment 1 Rescue device for automatic guided vehicle

[0034] The device provided in the embodiment can effectively solve the problem that AGV cannot move due to rudder wheel failure. As shown in the figure, the rescue device mainly comprises a connecting workpiece 1, a nut 3 and a rudder body hanging shaft 4, and these components work together to lift the faulty rudder wheel off the ground 0. Figure 1

[0035] The connecting workpiece 1 is the core component of the device and is composed of a hook 1-1 and a screw 1-2. The upper end of the screw 1-2 is provided with a thread, and the lower end is fixedly connected with the hook 1-1 by welding. In actual assembly, the operator first passes the screw 1-2 through the reserved hole of the tool fixing piece 2, and then fastens it above the tool fixing piece 2 with the nut 3. At the same time, in order to improve the stability of the connection, a gasket is installed between the screw 1-2 and the nut 3, which not only plays a damping role, but also prevents the nut from loosening. The hook 1-1 is provided with a groove matched with the rudder body hanging shaft 4, the cross-sectional shape of the groove is semicircular, which ensures close cooperation with the hanging shaft; and the diameter of the groove is slightly larger than the diameter of the rudder body hanging shaft 4, which can exactly hang the rudder body hanging shaft 4. The tool fixing piece 2 is located on the AGV vehicle body to be rescued, and is used to firmly install the connecting workpiece 1 on the AGV vehicle body, so as to ensure that it will not loosen during movement. The positions of the tool fixing pieces 2 provided on different AGV vehicle bodies are different, and the size of the connecting workpiece 1 and the rudder body hanging shaft 4 can be adjusted for adaptation.

[0036] ​When the steering wheel 6 of the AGV fails (such as steering wheel lock or direction misalignment), the rescue personnel first hang the steering wheel body hanging shaft 4 under the corresponding steering wheel mounting plate 9 of the failed steering wheel. With the gradual tightening of the nut 3, the screw 1-2 will move the hook 1-1 upward, and through the cooperation of the groove and the steering wheel body hanging shaft 4, the entire steering wheel mounting plate 9 will eventually be lifted off the ground 0 together with the failed steering wheel 6.

[0037] To ensure the strength of the device, the connecting workpiece 1, the tool fixing piece 2 and the steering wheel body hanging shaft 4 are made of 45 steel or high carbon steel. This design not only has a simple and reliable structure, but also is convenient to operate, which can significantly improve the maintenance efficiency of AGV equipment. When a failure occurs, the maintenance personnel can complete the installation of the rescue device in a short time, and move the AGV to the repair position by artificial pushing or pulling, effectively avoiding the problem of whole machine paralysis caused by steering wheel failure.

[0038] In practical application, the bottom of the typical AGV vehicle body is provided with a plurality of vehicle load wheels 7, and rotatable steering wheel mounting plates 9 are installed at the front and rear ends. These mounting plates are connected to the vehicle body through connecting pins 8, and each mounting plate is provided below with a steering wheel 6 driven by a motor 5. When a steering wheel fails, the device is used to suspend it, and the weight of the vehicle body is completely borne by the other normal load wheels. At this time, since the steering wheel is suspended, the AGV is affected by the friction of the ground 0 during movement, and only a small external force is needed to easily move the AGV.

[0039] In addition, the rescue device of the embodiment can also be adjusted and optimized according to different AGV models to meet the rescue needs in different scenes.

[0040] The above description of the embodiments is for the convenience of the ordinary skilled person in the art to understand and use the application. Those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications to these embodiments, and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without having to go through creative labor. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make improvements and modifications within the scope of the present application without departing from the scope of the present application.
