Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of solar energy storage technology, specifically to underground AGV solar energy storage equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In underground mining environments such as coal mines and metal mines, material transportation is a crucial link in ensuring efficient production. Traditional underground material transportation relies heavily on manual operation or fixed-track transportation equipment, which suffers from low efficiency, poor flexibility, high labor costs, and numerous safety hazards. With the development of automation technology, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) have gradually been applied in the field of underground material transportation due to their advantages such as high degree of automation, flexible operation, and ability to operate 24 hours a day. Solar energy, as a clean and renewable energy source, is inexhaustible. However, due to poor lighting conditions underground, it is difficult to directly generate electricity using solar energy. Therefore, solar energy storage devices can be placed underground to charge the AGVs.

[0003] In underground operations, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) undertake important tasks such as material transportation. The stability and efficiency of their energy supply are crucial. Since the solar energy storage equipment is installed inside the mine, when the AGV's power is depleted, it can only rely on automatic charging to replenish its energy. However, the automatic charging process has many drawbacks. The charging time is usually long. When the mine production tasks are tight and the transportation needs are frequent, the AGV will be in a charging state for a long time, which will seriously delay the material transportation work, causing the production process to be interrupted or delayed, and reducing the overall production efficiency. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide underground AGV solar energy storage equipment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an underground AGV solar energy storage device to solve the problem that in the existing technology, when the AGV's power is exhausted, it can only rely on the automatic charging mode to replenish energy. However, the automatic charging process has many drawbacks. The charging time is usually long. When the mine production tasks are tight and the transportation needs are frequent, the AGV will be in the charging state for a long time, which will seriously delay the material transportation work, cause the production process to be interrupted or delayed, and reduce the overall production efficiency.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an underground AGV solar energy storage device, including a storage tank body, two AGV mechanisms symmetrically arranged on the outer side wall of the storage tank body, two platforms reserved at the top of the storage tank body, and a moving component slidably connected at the position of the two platforms at the top of the storage tank body, and a battery replacement mechanism for driving battery replacement is arranged above the moving component.

[0006] Preferably, each AGV mechanism includes a slide fixedly connected to the outer wall of the battery storage compartment body. An AGV trolley body is placed on top of the slide.

The bottom of each row of battery compartment bodies is symmetrically fixedly connected to a second power terminal. A second battery is placed inside the battery compartment body. The top top of the second battery is fixedly connected to the same top plate and pull rod.

[0008] Preferably, each set of the moving components includes a connecting plate located at the top of the battery storage compartment body at the platform position. Two auxiliary wheels are symmetrically arranged at the bottom end of the connecting plate, and two drive wheels are symmetrically arranged at the top end of the connecting plate. The auxiliary wheels and drive wheels are symmetrically arranged and are located at the bottom ends of the connecting plate, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, a first drive rod is provided between the two drive wheels, a first motor is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate, and the output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first drive rod.

[0010] Preferably, each battery replacement mechanism includes a second gear rotatably connected to the top of a connecting plate, a first gear rotatably connected to the top of the connecting plate at one side of the second gear, a second motor fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor, the end of the rotating shaft away from the second motor being fixedly connected to the bottom of the second gear, and the contact surface between the rotating shaft and the connecting plate being rotatably sleeved by a bearing.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model uses a movable component to drive the battery replacement mechanism to move. The connecting plate can move at the top of the platform with the help of auxiliary wheels and drive wheels. Then, the fixed plate and electric clamp can be moved down by two electric push rods. When the two electric clamps move above the first battery and the second battery respectively, the electric clamps can clamp and limit the pull rod above them.

Then, the electric push rod drives the fixing plate to reset. This allows the first battery, which is out of power, to be replaced and recharged. This method can quickly complete the battery swapping work, making it convenient for the AGV to be used again. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an underground AGV solar energy storage device, including a storage tank body 1, two AGV mechanisms 2 symmetrically arranged on the outer side wall of the storage tank body 1, two platforms 25 reserved at the top of the storage tank body 1, and a moving component 4 slidably connected at the position of the two platforms 25 at the top of the storage tank body 1, and a battery replacement mechanism 5 for driving battery replacement is arranged above the moving component 4.

[0024] It should be noted that two platforms 25 are symmetrically opened at the top of the main body 1 of the battery storage compartment, and the moving component 4 is slidably connected to them. This design allows the moving component 4 to move flexibly on the platform 25 and adjust its position according to actual needs, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment. A battery replacement mechanism 5 is set above the moving component 4, which can quickly and accurately drive the battery to be replaced. In the complex underground environment, the convenience of battery replacement is crucial. This mechanism can effectively shorten the battery replacement time, reduce equipment downtime, and ensure the efficient operation of the equipment.

[0025] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, each AGV mechanism 2 includes a slide 22 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the battery storage body 1. An AGV trolley body 21 is placed on top of the slide 22. A battery box 211 is fixedly connected to the top of the AGV trolley body 21 on the side close to the battery storage body 1. A first power terminal 212 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of the battery box 211. A first battery 213 is placed inside the battery box 211. A top plate 214 is fixedly connected to the top of the first battery 213. A pull rod 215 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the top of the top plate 214.

[0026] It should be noted that the slide table 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the battery storage compartment 1, providing a stable placement platform 25 for the AGV trolley body 21, so that the AGV trolley body 21 is accurately positioned and facilitates subsequent operation. The battery box 211 is fixed at the top of the AGV trolley body 21 near the battery storage compartment 1. The first power connection terminal 212 is symmetrically fixed at the bottom of the battery box 211. This layout makes the installation position of the first battery 213 clear and the position of the first power connection terminal 212 reasonable, which facilitates quick and stable connection with the first battery 213 and ensures the reliability of power transmission. The top plate 214 is fixed at the top of the first battery 213, and the pull rod 215 is fixed at the center of the top of the top of the top plate 214. The design of the pull rod 215 greatly facilitates the loading and unloading operation of the first battery 213.

[0027] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the battery compartment body 1 has two rows of battery compartment bodies 23 symmetrically arranged at the top top for placing the pull rod 215. The bottom of the two rows of battery compartment bodies 23 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the second power terminal 24. The battery compartment body 23 contains a second battery 3. The top top of the second battery 3 is fixedly connected to the same top plate 214 and pull rod 215.

[0028] It should be noted that two rows of battery compartment bodies 23 are symmetrically opened at the top, providing dedicated storage space for the second batteries 3. The layout is reasonable and the space utilization rate is high, allowing multiple second batteries 3 to be arranged in an orderly manner, which is convenient for centralized management and maintenance. The second power terminal 24 is symmetrically fixed at the bottom of the battery compartment body 23. The connection design with the second batteries 3 is ingenious, ensuring the stability and reliability of power transmission. This allows the second batteries 3 to efficiently power the equipment and reduce the risk of power outages caused by poor contact. When it is necessary to replace or maintain the second batteries 3, the staff can easily take them out or put them in the battery compartment body 23 by pulling the lever 215, saving time and labor costs and improving work efficiency. At the same time, the top plate 214 provides a certain degree of protection for the second batteries 3, preventing them from shaking or being damaged by collisions inside the battery compartment body 23.

[0029] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each set of moving components 4 includes a connecting plate 41 located at the top of the battery storage body 1 at the platform 25 position. Two auxiliary wheels 42 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate 41, and two drive wheels 43 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the bottom of the connecting plate 41. The auxiliary wheels 42 and the drive wheels 43 are symmetrically arranged. The auxiliary wheels 42 and the drive wheels 43 are located at the bottom ends of the connecting plate 41 respectively. A first drive rod 45 is arranged between the two drive wheels 43. A first motor 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 41, and the output end of the first motor 44 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first drive rod 45.

[0030] It should be noted that a first drive rod 45 is provided between the two drive wheels 43, and the output end of the first motor 44 fixed at the bottom of the connecting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first drive rod 45. The first motor 44 drives the first drive rod 45 to rotate, thereby driving the two drive wheels 43 to rotate synchronously, realizing the automated movement of the moving component 4. The two drive wheels 43 are located on one side of the two auxiliary wheels 42, and the two auxiliary wheels 42 are located on the other side of the bottom of the connecting plate 41.

[0031] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, each battery replacement mechanism 5 includes a second gear 52 rotatably connected to the top of the connecting plate 41. A first gear 51 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting plate 41, located on one side of the second gear 52. A second motor 57 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 41. A rotating shaft 521 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 57. The end of the rotating shaft 521 away from the second motor 57 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second gear 52. The contact surface between the rotating shaft 521 and the connecting plate 41 is rotatably sleeved by a bearing.

[0032] It should be noted that the contact surface between the rotating shaft 521 and the connecting plate 41 is connected by a bearing, which effectively reduces the friction during rotation, reduces energy loss, improves transmission efficiency, and also extends the service life of the rotating shaft 521 and related components. The entire battery replacement mechanism 5 is installed on the connecting plate 41. With the help of the moving function of the moving component 4, it can be flexibly moved to a designated position in the well to perform battery replacement operations, adapting to battery replacement needs in different scenarios.

[0033] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, two electric push rods 53 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper top of the second gear 52. The telescopic ends of the two electric push rods 53 are fixedly connected to a fixed plate 54. The lower bottom end of the fixed plate 54 is symmetrically fixedly connected to two fixed shafts 55. The lower bottom end of each of the two fixed shafts 55 is provided with an electric clamp 56 for clamping the pull rod 215.

[0034] It should be noted that two electric push rods 53 are symmetrically fixed at the top of the second gear 52. The electric push rods 53 can extend and retract flexibly, and can accurately adjust the height of the fixing plate 54 according to the position of the battery to achieve precise positioning. This ensures that the electric gripper 56 can accurately reach the position of the pull rod 215 during battery replacement, improving the accuracy and success rate of battery gripping. Two fixed shafts 55 are symmetrically fixed at the bottom of the fixing plate 54, providing a stable installation position for the electric gripper 56. This ensures that the electric gripper 56 remains stable during operation and is not easy to shake, further guaranteeing the stability of the gripping operation. The electric gripper 56 set at the bottom of the two fixed shafts 55 can effectively grip the pull rod 215. The gripping force and angle can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation. This not only firmly grips the pull rod 215 to ensure that the battery will not fall off during transportation, but also avoids damage to the pull rod 215 due to excessive gripping force.

[0035] Working principle: When a battery replacement operation is required, the moving component 4 starts to work. The connecting plate 41 moves flexibly on the platform 25 with the cooperation of the auxiliary wheel 42 and the drive wheel 43. The first motor 44 drives the first drive rod 45 to rotate, which in turn drives the two drive wheels 43 to rotate synchronously, providing power for the movement of the connecting plate 41, so that the battery replacement mechanism 5 can accurately reach the designated position. Subsequently, the two electric push rods 53 in the battery replacement mechanism 5 are activated. Their telescopic ends drive the fixed plate 54 and the two fixed shafts 55 fixed at the bottom of the fixed plate 54 and the electric clamp 56 to move down. When the two electric clamps 56 move above the first battery 213 and the second battery 3 respectively, the electric clamps 56 are activated to clamp and limit the pull rods 215 above them, thereby firmly grasping the first battery 213 and the second battery 3.

[0036] Next, the second motor 57 drives the rotating shaft 521 to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 52 to rotate. With the cooperation of the first gear 51, the second gear 52 rotates 180 degrees, causing the positions of the first battery 213 and the second battery 3 to be interchanged. After that, the electric push rod 53 drives the fixing plate 54 to reset, completing the removal of the de-energized first battery 213 from the AGV trolley body 21 and placing it in the battery compartment body 23 for recharging. At the same time, the fully charged second battery 3 is installed on the AGV trolley body 21. In this way, the battery swapping work can be completed quickly, greatly improving the battery swapping efficiency, facilitating the reuse of the AGV trolley body 21, and ensuring the continuity and efficiency of underground operations.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
