Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of modern logistics and warehousing technology, and in particular to a forklift AGV that can pick up and place goods laterally. Background Technology

[0002] In modern logistics and warehousing, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) are increasingly widely used. However, existing forklift AGVs have certain limitations in cargo handling. Traditional forklift AGVs can mostly only handle forward loading and unloading. When faced with special warehouse layouts or cargo storage methods, such as tightly stacked goods, narrow aisles, or goods placed in different directions, their operational flexibility is greatly limited, leading to low cargo handling efficiency and failing to fully realize the automation advantages of AGV forklifts.

[0003] For example, in densely packed shelving areas of large logistics centers, goods may be stacked from different directions. Traditional forward-loading forklift AGVs need to frequently adjust their travel direction and position to complete the picking and placing of goods. This not only increases handling time but also increases the risk of collisions with other equipment or goods. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a forklift AGV that can pick up and place goods from the side, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a forklift AGV capable of lateral loading and unloading of goods, comprising: an intelligent AGV vehicle, an extension block, a vertical carrier plate, a first motor, a first screw, a loading structure, a second motor, and a second screw;

[0006] The intelligent AGV has a first slot inside. The first motor is mounted on one end of the first slot. The first screw passes through the first slot and is rotatably connected to it. One end of the first screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor. The protruding block passes through the first screw and is threadedly connected to it. The vertical carrier plate is fixedly connected to the protruding block. The retrieval structure is located on one side of the vertical carrier plate. The first motor drives the first screw to rotate, and moves the protruding block, the vertical carrier plate, and the retrieval structure back and forth.

[0007] The vertical carrier plate has a vertical guide groove inside. The second motor is installed on the upper end of the vertical carrier plate of the vertical guide groove. The second screw passes through the vertical guide groove and is rotatably connected to the vertical guide groove. One end of the second screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. The object-retrieving structure is threadedly connected to the second screw. The second motor drives the second screw to rotate and drives the object-retrieving structure to move up and down.

[0008] In one embodiment, the object-retrieving structure includes: a transverse guide groove, a third motor, a third screw, a transverse block, a steering mechanism, and fork teeth;

[0009] The transverse guide groove and the transverse block are fixedly connected, and the transverse block is threadedly connected to the third screw. The third motor is installed at one end of the transverse guide groove, and the third screw passes through the transverse guide groove and is rotatably connected to the transverse guide groove. One end of the third screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor. The steering mechanism is fixedly connected to the transverse block, and the fork tooth is connected to the transverse block through the steering mechanism. The third motor drives the steering mechanism to rotate and drives the fork tooth to move laterally.

[0010] In one embodiment, the steering mechanism includes: a moving platform, a fourth motor, a steering plate, and a protective plate;

[0011] The moving platform is fixedly connected to the transverse block. The fourth motor is installed on the bottom surface of the moving platform. The output end of the fourth motor is fixedly connected to the steering plate. The steering plate is fixedly connected to the fork tooth and the steering plate is fixedly connected to the protective plate. The fourth motor drives the steering plate to rotate and drives the fork tooth to rotate.

[0012] As can be seen from the above, the forklift AGV provided by this utility model can change the direction of the fork teeth by using a steering mechanism. By using the cooperation of a third motor, a third screw and a transverse block, the fork teeth can be driven laterally. By using the cooperation of the intelligent AGV vehicle, the extension block, the first motor and the first screw, the vertical carrier plate and the fork teeth can be driven back and forth, thereby realizing two-way picking up and placing of goods.
