[0032] Reference Figure 1-6 ,

[0033] An AGV-based automatic loading and unloading gantry drilling center includes: a drilling device 1, a conveyor 2, an AGV trolley, and a lifting platform. The lifting platform is mounted on the AGV trolley and is used to carry the workpiece to be processed. In some embodiments, the AGV trolley and lifting platform are replaced with an AGV trolley with lifting function. The conveyor 2 is used to transport the workpiece to be processed to the drilling device for processing; when the AGV trolley moves to the conveyor 2, the lifting platform lowers its height, transferring the workpiece to be processed onto the conveyor 2.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the AGV carts are used to transport, load, and unload the workpieces to be processed. Therefore, there is no need to design corresponding loading and unloading lines, which greatly saves investment costs. Furthermore, the use of AGV cart bag loading and unloading lines makes the entire equipment simpler, with lower subsequent maintenance and repair costs, and easier maintenance and repair.

[0035] Specifically, the conveyor 2 is provided in two sets, each including a drive motor 21, a drive screw 22, a drive nut 23, a guide structure 24, and a platform 25. The output end of the drive motor 21 is connected to the drive screw 22, the drive nut 23 is disposed on the drive screw 22, and the guide structure 24 guides the platform 25. The drive nut 23 is fixed to the platform 25. A accommodating area for the AGV to pass through is formed between the two platforms 25. The lifting platform has a first lifting height and a second lifting height; the first lifting height is lower than the second lifting height. The lifting platform on the AGV moves to the accommodating area at the second lifting height, and the platform 25 moves to the AGV. The lifting platform on the AGV then descends to the first lifting height; the first lifting height is lower than the height of the platform 25. As the lifting platform descends, the workpiece to be processed on the lifting platform will fall onto the carrying platform 25. Then, the two carrying platforms 25 will move the workpiece to be processed, so that the workpiece to be processed can be moved to the drilling rig device 1 for processing.

[0036] Specifically, the lifting platform on the AGV moves within the receiving area at the second lifting height; the lifting platform on the AGV also moves to a position outside the receiving area at the first lifting height. When the AGV moves to other positions, the workpiece is at a lower height, which is beneficial to the stability of the AGV's center of gravity.

[0037] Specifically, a bellows cover 3 is provided on the platform 25, which at least covers the drive screw 22 and the drive nut 23 to prevent waste debris from entering the drive screw 22 and the drive nut 23.

[0038] Specifically, the conveyor 2 moves the workpiece to be processed from the receiving area to the processing area in the drilling device 1 via the platform 25; when the workpiece is located in the processing area, a chip removal gap is formed between the workpiece and the ground. A conical platform 4 is provided at the chip removal gap. The conical platform 4 facilitates the outward discharge of waste chips along its surface.

[0039] Specifically, the conical platform 4 forms two low ends 41, which are located at the conveying member 2. The conveying member 2 also includes a support frame 5, which is used to install the drive motor 21, the drive screw 22, and the drive nut 23. A chip removal groove 51 is formed in the support frame 5, which connects with the low ends 41 to allow the processing waste on the conical platform 4 to be discharged into the chip removal groove 51. A spiral chip conveyor 6 is provided in the chip removal groove 51 to discharge the waste in the chip removal groove 51 outward. The spiral chip conveyor 6 includes at least a spiral plate and a drive component 62, which drives the spiral plate to rotate. The drive component 62 is a motor. Preferably, the drive component 62 drives the spiral plate to rotate via a drive shaft 61, which is fixed to the spiral plate. The spiral plate uses existing technology. Therefore, after the waste enters the chip removal groove 51, it will be discharged outward under the action of the rotating spiral plate.

[0040] Specifically, the water tank 7 of the gantry drill center chip conveyor is used to add water to the chip conveying trough 51 so that the waste chips do not adhere to the chip conveying trough 51. The water tank 7 of the chip conveyor adopts the prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0041] The above description is merely a selection of preferred embodiments of this disclosure and an explanation of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of this disclosure is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-described technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-described technical features or their equivalents without departing from the above-described inventive concept. For example, technical solutions formed by substituting the above-described features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of this disclosure.
