Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of transfer vehicle technology, specifically relating to an AGV material transfer vehicle with a hopper. Background Technology

[0002] The raw materials for making koji (fermentation starter) refer to the core grain raw materials used to make koji, mainly including grains such as wheat, barley, peas, rice, rice bran, and wheat bran. After being crushed, moistened, and shaped, these grains are transformed into koji rich in saccharifying enzymes and flavor precursors through microbial fermentation. The composition ratio of these koji directly determines the type of koji and the flavor characteristics of the final liquor.

[0003] The transportation of yeast starter materials commonly relies on manual handling using forklifts or even direct manual labor. It is well known that manual handling is not only extremely labor-intensive, but also has a limited capacity for handling yeast starter materials at a time (usually only 20-50 kg per person per time), resulting in low transportation efficiency and difficulty in keeping up with the pace of large-scale production. Furthermore, manual operation is prone to yeast starter material spillage and contamination due to fluctuations in physical strength and improper operation (such as contact with impurities on the ground or residual sweat from hands), affecting the purity of the yeast starter material and subsequent fermentation effects. At the same time, frequent manual transportation also increases labor costs, especially during peak periods of yeast starter material transportation (such as after yeast preparation and before storage), requiring a large number of temporary workers, which is difficult to manage. Moreover, the hygiene risks brought about by personnel movement (such as hair or foreign objects mixed in) can further affect the stability of yeast starter quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems mentioned in the background technology above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an AGV material transfer vehicle with a hopper to realize the automated transfer of materials.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) material transfer vehicle with a hopper includes a vehicle body, on which a mounting plate is installed. Two main beams are mounted on the mounting plate. A front support beam and a rear support beam are mounted on the outer side of the main beams. An electric telescopic cylinder is hinged to both main beams. Each of the two main beams is equipped with a first hinge seat. A support rod is hinged to each of the two first hinge seats. A bending arm is hinged to the support rod. A U-shaped connector is hinged to the hinge axis of the support rod and the bending arm. A hinge rod is mounted on the U-shaped connector. The middle section of the hinge rod is hinged to the output end of the electric telescopic cylinder.

[0007] The front support beam is equipped with an upright, and a second hinge seat is installed on the top of the upright. The second hinge seat is hinged to a bottom support frame, and a hopper is fixedly installed on the bottom support frame. The lowest side of the hopper is hinged to the end of the bending arm. The main beam is provided with a third hinge seat, and a straight rod is hinged between the third hinge seat and the hinge rod.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an AGV material transfer vehicle with a hopper, comprising a vehicle body 1, an mounting plate 2 mounted on the vehicle body 1, two main beams 3 mounted on the mounting plate 2, a front support beam 31 and a rear support beam 32 mounted on the outer side of the main beams 3, an electric telescopic cylinder 4 hinged to the front ends of the two main beams 3, the output end of the electric telescopic cylinder 4 facing the rear support beam 32, a first hinge seat 6 mounted on each of the two main beams 3, a support rod 7 hinged to each of the two first hinge seats 6, a bending arm 8 hinged to the support rod 7, the bending arm 8 bending towards the rear support beam 32, a U-shaped connector 9 hinged to the hinge axis of the support rod 7 and the bending arm 8, a hinge rod 10 mounted on the U-shaped connector 9, the middle section of the hinge rod 10 hinged to the output end of the electric telescopic cylinder 4;

[0025] The front support beam 31 is equipped with a vertical pole 11. A second hinge seat 12 is installed on the top of the vertical pole 11. A bottom support frame 13 is hinged to the second hinge seat 12. A hopper 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom support frame 13. The hopper 14 has an inverted right-angled triangle shape. The lowest part of the hopper 14 is hinged to the end of the bending arm 8. The main beam 3 is provided with a third hinge seat 15. A straight rod 16 is hinged between the third hinge seat 15 and the hinge rod 10.

[0026] In this implementation case, the hopper is moved by the vehicle body 1. The preferred choice for the vehicle body 1 is the Huarui M060 transfer chassis type AMR vehicle body. Alternatively, the Hikvision Q2B-400D and Q3B-600D vehicle bodies can also be used. These vehicle bodies can be purchased directly at present, so technical personnel in related fields can directly obtain the usage and debugging methods, which is convenient for procurement and use.

[0027] When the vehicle body 1 moves the hopper 14 filled with molten material to the operating area, the electric telescopic cylinder 4 operates, pushing the U-shaped connector 9 towards the rear support beam 32. During this movement, the U-shaped connector 9 pulls the support rod 7 upwards slowly, with the first hinge seat 6 as the rotation point. It should be noted that the support rod 7 will not be horizontal to the mounting plate 2 even at its lowest horizontal tilt position to prevent contact with the force in the direction of the electric telescopic cylinder 4. The upward movement of the support rod 7 causes the bending arm 8 to move upwards until it forms a straight line with the support rod 7. The bottom support frame 13, hinged to the second hinge seat 12, will also move upwards due to this. As the force moves, the bottom support frame 13 moves away from the rear support beam 32. Because the maximum length of the second hinge seat 12 and the bottom support frame 13 is less than the maximum length of the support rod 7 and the bending arm 8, the bottom support frame 13 is also tilted. This action causes the hopper 14 to tilt. Under the pulling of the bending arm 8 and the resistance of the top of the bottom support frame 13, the hopper 14 will not completely detach from the vehicle body 1. Under the effect of the bending arm 8, the center of gravity of the entire vehicle body 1 will not tilt too far forward, preventing the overturning problem. In this way, the transfer and dumping of the curved material in the hopper is realized. Example

[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the rear support beam 32 is equipped with a support seat 17, and the support seat 17 is provided with a placement groove 18. During the transfer of the hopper 14, the lowest point is located in the placement groove 18.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the support base 17 is not used, the overall force of the hopper when it is laid flat is applied to the bending arm 8 and then transmitted to the electric telescopic cylinder 4. Shaking during the movement may damage the electric telescopic cylinder 4. However, the support base 17 and the placement groove 18 effectively support the hopper 14, reducing the burden on the electric telescopic cylinder 4. The placement groove 18 also has a certain limiting effect, making the hopper 14 more stable during the movement. Example

[0030] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the rear support beam 32 is equipped with a fourth hinge seat 19, and two guide rails 20 are installed on the back side of the hopper 14. A slider 21 is slidably installed on the guide rails 20, and a gas spring 22 is installed between the slider 21 and the fourth hinge seat 19.

[0031] In this implementation case, one of the characteristics of the gas spring 22 is that from fully retracted to fully extended, it can provide auxiliary support for the hopper 14 when it is laid flat, and it can provide auxiliary pulling effect for the hopper 14 when it is tilted. Both of these effects can reduce the pressure on other components, thereby ensuring the overall service life and stability. Example

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, a vibration motor 23 is installed on the back side of the hopper 14;

[0033] In this implementation case, under the characteristics of the vibration motor 23, it can be turned on when the hopper 14 is laid flat, which can make the filling of the gluten material more compact, thereby ensuring the transfer volume. When the hopper 14 is tilted, it can make the gluten material in the hopper 14 be poured out faster and cleaner. Example

[0034] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an electrical control box 24 is installed at the tail ends of both main beams 3;

[0035] In this implementation case, the electrical control box 24 mainly displays the current status of the entire transfer vehicle in real time, and also serves as a counterweight to a certain extent, making the vehicle body 1 less likely to tip over when tilted.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
