Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) technology, and in particular relates to an AGV drive wheel. Background Technology
[0002] AGV is an abbreviation for Automated Guided Vehicle. It refers to an unmanned automated vehicle equipped with automatic guidance devices such as magnetic strips, tracks, or lasers, which travels along a planned path, is powered by batteries, and is equipped with safety protection and various auxiliary mechanisms (such as transfer and assembly mechanisms). Typically, multiple AGVs, along with a control computer (control console), navigation equipment, charging equipment, and peripheral auxiliary equipment, form an AGV system. Its main working principle is that, under the monitoring and task scheduling of the control computer, the AGV can accurately travel along the prescribed path, reach the designated task location, and complete a series of work tasks. The control computer can determine whether the AGV needs to automatically recharge at the charging area based on its own battery level.
[0003] However, the current structure of AGV equipment is generally that the motor is connected to the wheel hub through the reduction mechanism, and then the motor is connected to the control and feedback parts. This makes the AGV very bulky. Each part requires different compatibility, which makes maintenance more difficult. At the same time, each part is stacked on top of the other, so the space required is relatively large. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An AGV drive wheel includes a drive wheel body composed of a motor assembly and a wheel assembly. The motor assembly includes a housing, a rear end cover, a rear cover, and a stator and rotor. The stator and rotor are disposed in the space formed by the housing and the rear end cover. The stator and rotor are divided into a stator assembly and a rotor assembly. The rotor assembly includes a rotating shaft, magnetic tiles, and a rotor core. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the rotor core. The magnetic tiles are disposed in the grooves of the rotor core. The stator assembly includes a stator core, a frame, and a coil. It also includes a drive assembly disposed in the space formed by the rear end cover and the rear cover.
[0006] The drive assembly includes a drive board for driving the motor and an encoder. The encoder includes a signal end and a receiving end. The signal end is connected to the rotating shaft, and the receiving end is disposed on the drive board.
[0007] The wheel assembly includes a wheel body and a reduction mechanism. The reduction mechanism is located inside the wheel body, and the motor assembly is connected to the wheel body through the reduction mechanism.
[0008] The signal terminal includes a fixed base and a magnetic element engaged in the fixed base. The fixed base is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft. The fixed base has a groove for accommodating the magnetic element. The magnetic element is placed in the groove. The distance between the magnetic element and the receiving end on the drive board is denoted as H, and the distance H is 0.8-1.8mm.
[0009] Furthermore, the deceleration mechanism includes a deceleration frame and a sealing plate, the deceleration frame is provided with a planetary gear, and the rotating shaft is connected to the planetary gear.
[0010] Furthermore, the wheel body includes a rubber-coated wheel and a hub. The hub is fitted onto the outside of the reduction gear. When the shaft rotates, the hub can be driven to rotate by the planetary gear.
[0011] Furthermore, the outer side of the rear cover is provided with several heat dissipation fins, which are located on the rear end face and the circumferential surface of the body.
[0012] Furthermore, the magnetic element is a magnet, and the magnetization direction is radial polarity magnetization.
[0013] Furthermore, the sealing plate has a groove on the contact surface with the housing to accommodate the sealing ring, and the sealing ring is located in the groove.
[0014] Furthermore, the housing is also provided with a protrusion, and the protrusion has a screw hole, which is used to fix the drive wheel body to other equipment.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention places the control and detection parts of the motor directly at the rear of the motor. By using the tail shaft of the motor in conjunction with a magnet, the motor speed and absolute position can be directly measured, solving the problem of introducing a separate encoder. At the same time, the reduction mechanism is placed inside the wheel hub, and the power output is directly generated to the drive wheel using planetary gears, saving space and reducing the overall size. The internal circuit board wiring is centrally led out, and the computer communicates directly with the circuit board to centrally control all aspects, making maintenance simple and convenient.
