Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of protective shells, specifically an AGV protective shell. Background Technology
[0002] AGV is an abbreviation for Automated Guided Vehicle. AGVs are transport vehicles equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic guidance devices, enabling them to travel along a predetermined path. They possess safety protection and various transfer functions. With the development of electronic and control technologies, AGV technology is constantly advancing, moving towards higher performance, lower cost, and greater flexibility. AGVs are widely used in logistics, manufacturing, chemical industries, as well as hazardous locations and special industries.
[0003] However, most existing AGV housings lack external protective mechanisms. During use, medium and large AGVs are prone to deformation when their housings are impacted. In severe cases, this can damage the electrical components inside the housing, hindering the protection and maintenance of the AGV. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed an AGV protective housing to address the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a protective shell for AGVs to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An AGV protective shell includes a base plate, mounting plates connected to both ends of the base plate, a first buckle frame connected to the front end of the base plate, a first cushioning pad installed inside the first buckle frame, a protective plate disposed in front of the base plate, the protective plate being U-shaped, a second buckle frame installed on both the inner top and inner bottom surfaces of the protective plate, a second cushioning pad installed on the inner perimeter of the protective plate, the top and bottom ends of the second cushioning pad being respectively connected to the two second buckle frames, and the front end of the first cushioning pad being connected to the rear end of the second cushioning pad.
[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a first protrusion is provided at the rear edge of the first cushioning cotton pad, the first protrusion is integrally formed with the first cushioning cotton pad, and a second protrusion is provided at both the top and bottom of the second cushioning cotton pad, the second protrusion is integrally formed with the second cushioning cotton pad.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: a first adhesive layer is provided on the front end of the first cushioning cotton pad and on the periphery of the first protrusion, and a second adhesive layer is provided on the periphery of the second protrusion.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the front end of the first cushioning cotton pad is provided with a plurality of first semi-cylindrical grooves, and the rear end of the second cushioning cotton pad is provided with a plurality of second semi-cylindrical grooves corresponding to the first semi-cylindrical grooves, and an inflatable pad is installed in both the first semi-cylindrical grooves and the second semi-cylindrical grooves.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, an elastic sleeve is provided on the periphery of the protective plate.
[0012] This utility model has the following advantages: The protective shell achieves protection by mounting a base plate onto the AVG and then mounting a protective plate onto the base plate. The connection and fixation between the base plate and the protective plate are achieved through a first buffer cotton pad and a second buffer cotton pad. The first and second snap frames facilitate the quick installation of the first and second buffer cotton pads. The installation is convenient and quick. When the protective plate is impacted, the first and second buffer cotton pads can provide shock absorption and cushioning for the AVG. When the protective plate is damaged, it can be quickly replaced and a new protective plate can be installed. The overall shell structure is simple, easy to install, low in cost, and easy to use.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 An AGV protective shell includes a base plate 1, with mounting plates 101 connected to both ends of the base plate 1. A first buckle frame 102 is connected to the front end of the base plate 1, and a first cushioning cotton pad 3 is installed inside the first buckle frame 102. A protective plate 2 is provided in front of the base plate 1. The protective plate 2 is U-shaped. A second buckle frame 202 is installed on both the inner top and inner bottom surfaces of the protective plate 2. A second cushioning cotton pad 4 is installed on the inner perimeter of the protective plate 2. The top and bottom ends of the second cushioning cotton pad 4 are respectively connected to the two second buckle frames 202. The front end of the first cushioning cotton pad 3 is connected to the rear end of the second cushioning cotton pad 4. Both the first cushioning cotton pad 3 and the second cushioning cotton pad 4 are selected as shock-absorbing sponge pads.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3The first cushioning pad 3 has a first protrusion 301 at its rear edge, and the first protrusion 301 is integrally formed with the first cushioning pad 3. The second cushioning pad 4 has a second protrusion 401 at both its top and bottom ends, and the second protrusion 401 is integrally formed with the second cushioning pad 4. The shape and size of the first protrusion 301 correspond to the shape and size of the first buckle frame 102, and the shape and size of the second protrusion 401 correspond to the shape and size of the second buckle frame 202.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 The front end of the first cushioning cotton pad 3 and the periphery of the first protrusion 301 are provided with a first adhesive layer 303, and the periphery of the second protrusion 401 is provided with a second adhesive layer 403. The adhesive layers make the connection between the first cushioning cotton pad 3 and the second cushioning cotton pad 4 more secure.
[0024] Example 2: See Figures 1 to 3 Based on Embodiment 1, the front end of the first cushioning pad 3 is provided with a plurality of first semi-cylindrical grooves 302, and the rear end of the second cushioning pad 4 is provided with a plurality of second semi-cylindrical grooves 402 corresponding to the first semi-cylindrical grooves 302. An inflatable pad 5 is installed in both the first semi-cylindrical grooves 302 and the second semi-cylindrical grooves 402. In this embodiment, the inflatable pad 5 is S-shaped and has an integral structure. One end of the inflatable pad 5 is provided with an inflation port 501. The shock absorption and cushioning effect of the overall protective shell is further improved by inflating the inflatable pad 5.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 The protective plate 2 is provided with an elastic sleeve 201 on its periphery. The elastic sleeve 201 is made of rubber and has warning signs on its outer wall to serve as a reminder.
[0026] Working principle: In use, the mounting plate 101 is installed onto the AVG with bolts. The first protrusion 301 is embedded into the first buckle frame 102 and fixed with the first adhesive layer. The second protrusion 401 is embedded into the second buckle frame 202 and fixed with the second adhesive layer 403. The air cushion 5 is placed in the first semi-cylindrical groove 302. Then, the second cushioning cotton pad 4 is installed on the first cushioning cotton pad 3, so that the air cushion 5 is placed in the first semi-cylindrical groove 302 and the second semi-cylindrical groove 402. The first adhesive layer 303 is used to connect and fix the first cushioning cotton pad 3 and the second cushioning cotton pad 4. When the AVG is impacted by an external force, the external force acts on the protective plate 2. The protective plate 2 compresses the first cushioning cotton pad 3, the second cushioning cotton pad 4 and the air cushion 5. The first cushioning cotton pad 3, the second cushioning cotton pad 4 and the air cushion 5 provide shock absorption and cushioning protection.
