Description

A conveying structure for an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) trolley lifting platform Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) carts, and in particular to a conveying structure for an AGV cart lifting platform. Background Technology

[0002] AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) are an important component of modern industrial automated logistics and are widely used in production line material handling, warehousing and logistics.

[0003] While traditional AGVs can be equipped with lifting platforms to lift and transport goods, they have significant shortcomings in practical applications: additional unloading equipment is required to complete the loading and unloading operations, which not only increases equipment investment costs but also occupies valuable production space; secondly, existing unloading equipment often needs to be precisely docked with AGVs, increasing system complexity; and the collaborative operation of multiple devices is prone to creating points of failure, reducing the reliability of the entire logistics system. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To facilitate the automatic loading and unloading of transported goods by AGV carts, this application provides a conveying structure for an AGV cart lifting platform.

[0005] The conveying structure of the AGV trolley lifting platform provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A conveying structure for an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) trolley lifting platform includes a lifting platform slidably mounted on the AGV trolley. The lifting platform is equipped with a conveying mechanism for supporting and moving goods. The conveying mechanism includes:

[0007] A conveyor belt is rotatably mounted on a lifting platform and supports the goods. When the conveyor belt rotates, it drives the goods to move on the lifting platform.

[0008] A driving component, which is mounted on the lifting platform and is used to drive the conveyor belt to rotate;

[0009] A fixing component is provided on the lifting platform and is used to clamp and fix the goods.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the AGV transports goods, the fixing component is activated and clamps the goods, fixing them on the conveyor belt and reducing the probability of goods moving during transportation. When it is necessary to transport the goods out, the fixing component is released from clamping the goods, and then the drive component drives the conveyor belt to rotate, finally transporting the materials on the conveyor belt out of the lifting platform, which facilitates the AGV to automatically load and unload the transported goods.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing component includes:

[0012] Sliding plates, two sets of sliding plates are slidably disposed on the lifting platform along directions that are close to or far from each other, and the two sets of sliding plates are located on both sides of the conveyor belt width direction;

[0013] The first telescopic component is mounted on the lifting platform and is used to drive the sliding plate to slide.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the first telescopic component drives the sliding plate to slide. The two sets of sliding plates slide in directions that are close to or far from each other, thereby clamping or releasing the goods. When the AGV trolley moves, the two sets of sliding plates clamp the opposite sides of the goods, thereby improving the stability of the goods.

[0015] Furthermore, the lifting platform is provided with a connecting plate to facilitate the removal of goods from the conveyor belt. The connecting plate is rotatably mounted on the lifting platform and is used to support the cargo transport platform. The connecting plate is used to connect the cargo transport platform and the conveyor belt. The lifting platform is provided with a drive assembly for driving the connecting plate to rotate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting plate acts as a transition bridge, reducing the phenomenon of goods getting stuck during transfer. At the same time, by rotating the angle of the connecting plate, it is possible to accommodate cargo platforms of different heights, thereby improving loading and unloading efficiency.

[0017] Furthermore, the driving component includes:

[0018] Mounting seats, the two sets of mounting seats are set on the lifting platform and located on opposite sides of the conveyor belt width direction;

[0019] The second telescopic component is hinged to the mounting base, and its movable end is hinged to the connecting plate and used to drive the connecting plate to rotate.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, two sets of mounting seats are installed symmetrically. The rotation angle of the connecting plate is controlled by the second telescopic component installed on the mounting seat. At the same time, the connecting plate is hoisted and fixed by the cooperation of the two sets of second telescopic components and the mounting seat.

[0021] Furthermore, the thickness of the connecting plate on the side away from the conveyor belt is less than the thickness on the side closer to the conveyor belt, which facilitates the movement of goods onto the transport platform.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the thicker end is easier to ensure the support strength of the connecting plate, while the gradually thinner connecting plate reduces the step resistance after the goods move. At the same time, the thinner end is easier to overlap with the transport platform, reducing friction with the transport platform and lowering the probability of the goods getting stuck when transported from the conveyor belt to the transport platform.

[0023] Furthermore, a set of connecting plates is provided at both ends of the conveyor belt along its length. When the second telescopic member shortens and drives the connecting plates to rotate upward at a certain angle, it limits the movement of the goods on both sides.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the connecting plate rotates upward at a certain angle, the connecting plate acts as a limiting barrier. At the same time, by cooperating with the fixing components, it limits and fixes the goods in four horizontal directions, thereby improving the support and fixing effect of the goods.

[0025] Furthermore, a sliding layer is provided on the upper surface of the connecting plate, which is used to reduce the friction coefficient of the connecting plate.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding layer reduces the friction between the goods and the connecting plate, ensuring the smooth sliding of the goods.

[0027] Furthermore, a buffer layer is provided on the side of the sliding plate near the cargo, and the buffer layer is made of elastic rubber material.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the impact force during clamping is absorbed by the buffer layer, reducing the probability of damage to the goods and improving the clamping stability of the goods.

[0029] Furthermore, the lifting platform is equipped with a control component for controlling the extension and retraction of the first telescopic member, the control component including:

[0030] The first through-beam sensor is installed at one end of the lifting platform and is used to detect the position of the goods.

[0031] The second through-beam sensor is located at the end of the lifting platform away from the first symmetrical sensor. The second through-beam sensor is used to detect the position of the goods.

[0032] The controller is installed on the lifting platform and electrically connected to the first and second through-beam sensors. After both the first and second through-beam sensors detect the cargo, the controller activates the first telescopic component to clamp and fix the cargo.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the first and second photoelectric sensors work together to accurately detect the position of the goods, ensuring that the goods are centered before the sliding plate clamps them, and reducing the risk of accidental clamping of the goods when unloaded or unbalanced.

[0034] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0035] 1. When the AGV is transporting goods, the first telescopic component drives the sliding plate to slide, thereby clamping and fixing the goods to the conveyor belt, reducing the probability of goods moving during transportation; when it is necessary to transport the goods out, the sliding plate is released from clamping and fixing the goods, and then the drive component drives the conveyor belt to rotate, finally transporting the material on the conveyor belt out of the lifting platform, which facilitates the AGV to automatically load and unload the transported goods.

[0036] 2. The rotation of the connecting plate is controlled by the second telescopic component. When the connecting plate rotates to the horizontal position, it is convenient to connect the conveyor belt and the transport platform, thereby facilitating the transport of materials on the conveyor belt to the transport platform. At the same time, when the connecting plate rotates at a certain angle, it limits the goods on the conveyor belt. By cooperating with the fixing components, it limits and fixes the goods in four horizontal directions, thereby improving the support and fixation effect of the goods. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to Figures 1-2.

[0041] This application discloses a conveying structure for an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) trolley lifting platform.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1, a conveying structure for an AGV trolley lifting platform includes a lifting platform 1 that is slidably mounted on the AGV trolley, and a conveying mechanism 2 that is provided on the lifting platform 1 for supporting the goods and moving the goods.

[0043] Referring to Figure 1, the lifting platform 1 is slidably mounted on the AGV trolley. When the goods are placed on the lifting platform 1, the AGV trolley drives the lifting platform 1 to rise, so as to facilitate the AGV trolley to move the goods.

[0044] Referring to Figure 1, the conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveyor belt 21 and a drive component 22. The conveyor belt 21 is rotatably mounted on the lifting platform 1. The upper surface of the conveyor belt 21 is used to support the goods. When the conveyor belt 21 rotates, it drives the goods to move, ultimately moving the goods horizontally on the lifting platform 1, thus transporting the goods in or out. The drive component 22 is set on the lifting platform 1 and is used to drive the conveyor belt 21 to rotate. The drive component 22 includes a drive motor and a roller. The drive motor is fixedly mounted on the lifting platform 1, and the roller is rotatably mounted on the lifting platform 1. The drive motor drives the roller to rotate through a chain, thereby driving the conveyor belt 21 to rotate. The position of the goods on the conveyor belt 21 can be controlled by controlling the start, stop, forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor.

[0045] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the conveying mechanism 2 further includes a fixing component 3. The fixing component 3 is mounted on the lifting platform 1 and is used to clamp and fix the goods. The fixing component 3 includes a sliding plate 31 and a first telescopic member 32. Two sets of sliding plates 31 are provided, and the two sets of sliding plates 31 are slidably mounted on the lifting platform 1 in a direction that approaches or moves away from each other. The two sets of sliding plates 31 are located on both sides of the width direction of the conveyor belt 21. A buffer layer 33 is provided on the side of the sliding plate 31 closest to the goods. The buffer layer 33 is made of elastic rubber material to improve the clamping effect of the sliding plate 31 on the material. The first telescopic member 32 is mounted on the lifting platform. 1. The first telescopic member 32 is used to drive the sliding plate 31 to slide. The first telescopic member 32 corresponds one-to-one with the sliding plate 31. When the goods are placed at the designated position on the conveyor belt 21, the two sets of first telescopic members 32 are activated at the same time, which drives the sliding plate 31 to slide in the direction of mutual approach, and finally clamps and fixes the goods on the conveyor belt 21. When it is necessary to transport the goods out, the two sets of first telescopic members 32 are closed, so that the two sets of first telescopic members 32 drive the two sets of sliding plates 31 to slide in the direction of mutual distance, and finally release the clamping and fixing of the goods. Then the drive motor is started, so that the goods move under the drive of the conveyor belt 21.

[0046] Referring to Figure 1, the lifting platform 1 is provided with a connecting plate 4 to facilitate the transport of goods from the conveyor belt 21. The connecting plate 4 is rotatably installed on the lifting platform 1. The connecting plate 4 is used to set up on the transport platform and to connect the transport platform and the conveyor belt 21, so as to facilitate the conveyor belt 21 to transport goods to the transport platform through the connecting plate 4.

[0047] Referring to Figure 1, the lifting platform 1 is equipped with a drive assembly 5 for driving the connecting plate 4 to rotate. The drive assembly 5 includes a mounting base 51 and a second telescopic member 52. Two sets of mounting bases 51 are fixedly installed on the lifting platform 1, located on both sides of the conveyor belt 21 in the width direction. The second telescopic member 52 is hinged to the mounting base 51, and its movable end is hinged to the connecting plate 4. When the second telescopic member 52 extends or retracts, it drives the connecting plate 4 to rotate. Specifically, when goods need to be placed on the conveyor belt 21, the second telescopic member 52 extends, thereby driving the connecting plate 4 to rotate to a horizontal position and set up on the transport platform, thus facilitating the transport of goods onto the conveyor belt 21. Then, the conveyor belt 21 is started, thereby transporting the goods onto the platform. Once the goods are moved to the designated location, they are secured by the fixing component 3. Then, the second telescopic member 52 shortens, causing the connecting plate 4 to rotate upwards. The upward rotation of the connecting plate 4 prevents the goods from sliding out of the conveyor belt 21, facilitating the movement of the goods by the AGV trolley. When it is necessary to transport the goods out of the conveyor belt 21, the second telescopic member 52 extends, causing the connecting plate 4 to rotate to a horizontal position and be placed on the transport platform. Then, the conveyor belt 21 is started, and the goods are transported onto the transport platform through the connecting plate 4. Then, the AGV trolley is started. After the AGV trolley moves a certain distance, the second telescopic member 52 shortens, thereby causing the connecting plate 4 to rotate. In this embodiment, by adjusting the rotation angle of the connecting plate 4, it is possible to achieve compatibility with transport platforms of different heights, thereby improving loading and unloading efficiency.

[0048] Referring to Figure 1, in order to facilitate the connection between the cargo platform and the conveyor belt, the thickness of the connecting plate 4 on the side away from the conveyor belt 21 is less than the thickness on the side closer to the conveyor belt 21. The thicker end is used to ensure the supporting strength of the connecting plate 4, while the thinner end is used to reduce the height difference with the cargo platform, thereby facilitating the transport of goods into the cargo platform through the connecting plate 4.

[0049] Referring to Figure 1, a set of connecting plates 4 are provided at both ends of the conveyor belt 21 along its length, so as to facilitate the conveyor belt 21 to transport goods in and out from both ends as needed. At the same time, when the second telescopic member 52 shortens and drives the connecting plate 4 to rotate upward at a certain angle, it limits the two sides of the goods. By cooperating with the fixing component 3, it limits and fixes the goods in four horizontal directions, thereby improving the support and fixing effect of the goods.

[0050] Referring to Figure 1, a sliding layer is provided on the upper surface of the connecting plate 4. The sliding layer is used to reduce the coefficient of friction of the connecting plate 4, thereby facilitating the movement of goods on the connecting plate 4.

[0051] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a control component 6 for controlling the extension and retraction of the first telescopic member 32 is provided on the lifting platform 1. The control component 6 includes a first through-beam sensor 61, a second through-beam sensor 62, and a controller. The first through-beam sensor 61 is fixedly installed on one end of the lifting platform 1 and is used to detect the position of the goods. The second through-beam sensor 62 is located on the end of the lifting platform 1 away from the first through-beam sensor 61 and is used to detect the position of the goods. The controller is fixedly installed on the lifting platform 1 and is electrically connected to the first through-beam sensor 61 and the second through-beam sensor 62. After both the first through-beam sensor 61 and the second through-beam sensor 62 detect the goods, the controller activates the extension of the two sets of first telescopic members 32, thereby driving the two sets of sliding plates 31 to move closer to each other and finally clamp the opposite ends of the goods.

[0052] The working principle of this application embodiment is as follows:

[0053] When the AGV transports goods, the sliding plate 31 is driven to slide by the first telescopic component 32, thereby clamping and fixing the goods on the conveyor belt 21, reducing the probability of goods moving during transportation. When it is necessary to transport the goods out, the sliding plate 31 is released from clamping and fixing of the goods, and then the conveyor belt 21 is driven to rotate by the drive component 22, and finally the material on the conveyor belt 21 is transported out of the lifting platform 1, which facilitates the AGV to automatically load and unload the transported goods.

[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
