Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) technology, and in particular to a heavy-duty AGV chassis structure based on linkages. Background Technology

[0002] A linkage-based AGV heavy-duty chassis structure refers to a chassis structure that uses a linkage mechanism as the core component of the wheel suspension or steering system to support the AGV body and transmit loads.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219635358U, published on 20230905, discloses an AGV chassis structure, which includes a chassis base, a traveling wheel assembly, and a driven wheel assembly. The traveling wheel assembly includes a motor, a connecting seat, a reduction gear, and traveling wheels. The connecting seat is mounted on the chassis base, and a first dust cover is installed on the connecting seat. The first dust cover isolates the traveling wheels from the internal space of the AGV. The driven wheel assembly includes a driven wheel. A second dust cover is also provided on the chassis base corresponding to each group of driven wheel assemblies, and the second dust cover isolates at least the driven wheels from the internal space of the AGV.

[0004] Existing AGV chassis structures often employ independent suspension or rigid bridge structures, which are prone to fatigue fracture due to single-point stress. The structural strength of AGV chassis can be further optimized, so there is an urgent need to propose a corresponding linkage-based heavy-duty AGV chassis structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to propose a heavy-duty AGV chassis structure based on linkage in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A linkage-based heavy-duty AGV chassis structure includes a chassis frame and a drive mounting plate. The chassis frame is connected to the drive mounting plate via a connecting component one. The inner surface of the chassis frame integrates a connecting bridge and a connecting component three for connecting the connecting bridge. The connecting bridge includes a balance bridge and a shouldered shaftless bushing two. The open end of the balance bridge is connected to the drive mounting plate via the connecting component two.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a flip-up axle fixedly connected to the drive mounting plate, and the flip-up axle is connected to the chassis frame via a shouldered shaftless bushing.

[0009] Preferably, the balance bridge has perforated holes inside.

[0010] Preferably, the second connecting component includes a sliding shaft seat that is fixedly connected to the drive mounting plate by fasteners, and the sliding shaft seat is connected to the open end of the balance bridge by a roller bearing follower.

[0011] Preferably, a shaped flat washer is integrated between the fastener and the drive mounting plate.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting component three includes a bridge axle passing between the balance bridge and the chassis frame. One side of the bridge axle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chassis frame through a shaft end baffle two, and the other side of the bridge axle is fixedly connected to a shaft end baffle one.

[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] In this application, during AGV operation, the vehicle weight is transferred to the linkage mechanism via the chassis frame, and then distributed to each wheel by the linkage. The balance bridge design of the connecting bridge can dynamically adjust the load difference between the left and right wheels to adapt to uneven ground. For steering and driving, the drive motor drives the wheels to rotate through the drive mounting plate, while the steering action is achieved by the linkage mechanism, reducing the complexity of traditional steering mechanisms. When encountering obstacles, the linkage mechanism allows the wheels to move vertically, absorbing impact force and protecting the vehicle body and cargo. Through mechanical dispersion, integrated design, and dynamic balance compensation, the problems of insufficient load-bearing capacity, complex maintenance, and poor adaptability of traditional AGVs in heavy-load scenarios are solved. Its core advantage lies in replacing traditional hydraulic / electrical control with mechanical linkage, which not only improves performance but also reduces costs and energy consumption, making it particularly suitable for high-intensity operation scenarios such as industrial automation and warehousing logistics.

[0024] A linkage-based heavy-duty AGV chassis structure includes a chassis frame 1 and a drive mounting plate 3. The chassis frame 1 is connected to the drive mounting plate 3 via a connecting component 2. The inner surface of the chassis frame 1 integrates a connecting bridge 5 and a connecting component 6 for connecting the connecting bridge 5. The connecting bridge 5 includes a balance bridge 501 and a shoulder-mounted shaftless bushing 502. The open end of the balance bridge 501 is connected to the drive mounting plate 3 via a connecting component 4.

[0025] Connect the tilting axle seat 201 to the chassis frame 1 via a pin, then install the shouldered shaftless bushing 202. Fix the drive mounting plate 3 to the connecting assembly 2 with bolts. Adjust the coaxiality of the drive motor and the wheel. Pre-install the sliding axle seat 401 and the roller bearing follower 403. Embed the irregular flat washer 402 between the sliding axle seat 401 and the roller bearing. Weld the balance bridge 501 to the shouldered shaftless bushing 502. Connect the connecting bridge 5 to the chassis frame 1 with bolts. The bridge axle 601 passes through the connecting bridge 5 and the connecting assembly 4. Install the axle end baffle. When the AGV is running, the weight of the vehicle body is transmitted through the chassis frame 1. The load is distributed to each wheel via a linkage mechanism. The balance bridge 501 of the connecting bridge 5 dynamically adjusts the load difference between the left and right wheels to adapt to uneven ground. For steering and driving, the drive motor rotates the wheels via the drive mounting plate 3, while the steering action is achieved through the linkage mechanism, reducing the complexity of traditional steering mechanisms. When encountering obstacles, the linkage mechanism allows the wheels to move vertically, absorbing impact and protecting the vehicle body and cargo. Through mechanical dispersion, integrated design, and dynamic balance compensation, it solves the problems of insufficient load-bearing capacity, complex maintenance, and poor adaptability of traditional AGVs in heavy-duty scenarios. Its core advantage lies in replacing traditional hydraulic / electrical control with mechanical linkage, which not only improves performance but also reduces cost and energy consumption, making it particularly suitable for high-intensity operation scenarios such as industrial automation and warehousing logistics.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting component 2 includes a flip-up axle seat 201 fixedly connected to the drive mounting plate 3. The flip-up axle seat 201 is connected to the chassis frame 1 through a shoulderless bushing 202, which realizes the series connection between the drive mounting plate 3 and the chassis frame 1 while ensuring the mobility of the drive mounting plate 3. The balance bridge 501 has a hollow perforation inside, which reduces the overall weight of the balance bridge 501.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second connecting component 4 includes a sliding shaft seat 401 fixedly connected to the drive mounting plate 3 by fasteners, and the sliding shaft seat 401 is connected to the open end of the balance bridge 501 through a roller bearing follower 403, thereby realizing the series connection between the balance bridge 501 and the drive mounting plate 3. A non-circular flat washer 402 is integrated between the fasteners and the drive mounting plate 3 to ensure the stability of the connection between the drive mounting plate 3 and the sliding shaft seat 401. The third connecting component 6 includes a bridge shaft 601 passing between the balance bridge 501 and the chassis frame 1. One side of the bridge shaft 601 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chassis frame 1 through a shaft end baffle 2 603, and the other side of the bridge shaft 601 is fixedly connected to a shaft end baffle 1 602, thereby realizing the movable installation of the balance bridge 501.

[0028] Working principle: The tilting axle seat 201 is connected to the chassis frame 1 by a pin, and then the shouldered shaftless bushing 202 is installed. The drive mounting plate 3 is fixed to the connecting assembly 2 by bolts. The coaxiality of the drive motor and the wheel is adjusted. The sliding axle seat 401 and the roller bearing follower 403 are pre-installed. The irregular flat washer 402 is embedded between the sliding axle seat 401 and the roller bearing. The balance bridge 501 is welded to the shouldered shaftless bushing 502. The connecting bridge 5 is connected to the chassis frame 1 by bolts. The bridge axle 601 passes through the connecting bridge 5 and the connecting assembly 2. 4. Install axle end baffles. When the AGV is running, the weight of the vehicle body is transmitted to the linkage mechanism through the chassis frame 1, and then distributed to each wheel by the linkage. The balance bridge 501 of the connecting bridge 5 can dynamically adjust the load difference between the left and right wheels to adapt to uneven ground. For steering and driving, the drive motor drives the wheels to rotate through the drive mounting plate 3, while the steering action is realized by the linkage mechanism, reducing the complexity of the traditional steering mechanism. When encountering obstacles, the linkage mechanism allows the wheels to move in the vertical direction, absorbing the impact force and protecting the vehicle body and cargo.
