Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) technology, specifically to a connecting rod structure for AGVs. Background Technology
[0002] Forklift attachments, specifically boom arms, are primarily used for handling rolled goods, playing a highly efficient and convenient role in various scenarios. In the textile industry, boom arms are particularly suitable for handling rolled carpets or large rolls of fabric, significantly improving handling efficiency.
[0003] The rod attachment structure can easily solve the needs of forklifting and handling tubular goods, and is suitable for various tubular items, such as pipes and tubing.
[0004] The existing rod structure is a purely mechanical structure without a dedicated sensor interface. It has limited functionality and lacks sensing capabilities. It relies on the operator's experience and visual judgment during operation. In complex, high-precision, or automated scenarios, it is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to errors, resulting in generally low work efficiency.
[0005] Meanwhile, when traditional rods are used in AGVs, complex customized modifications are usually required to integrate the necessary sensors, which is costly, time-consuming, and carries significant reliability risks, thus limiting the intelligence level and application scenarios of AGVs.
[0006] Therefore, we propose to design a tandem rod structure for AGV vehicles. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, according to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A rod-connecting structure for an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) includes a square support plate, a rod-connecting structure on one side of the square support plate, a hook fixedly connected to the top of the square support plate, and support plates on the top and bottom of the side of the square support plate away from the rod-connecting structure.
[0010] The side of the rod away from the square support plate is fixedly connected to an equipment plate. The equipment plate has AGV holes inside, and the top of the rod near the equipment plate has sensor mounting holes.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the AGV trolley rod structure described in this utility model, the cross-section of the rod is set in a V shape. The V-shaped structure can improve the overall rigidity and reduce the structural deflection by optimizing the geometric shape.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the AGV trolley rod structure described in this utility model, one end of the rod is inserted into the interior of a square support plate, and a positioning bolt is provided on the outside of the rod. The positioning bolt and the rod pass through the square support plate and are threadedly connected to the rod, which facilitates the assembly of the rod and the square support plate.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the AGV trolley rod structure described in this utility model, the top and side surfaces of the rod are fixedly connected with reinforcing plates, and the reinforcing plates are welded and fixed to the side surfaces of the square support plate, which facilitates the improvement of the stability of the rod.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This utility model utilizes the cooperation between the back-mounted support plate, the connecting rod, the sensor holes, and the AGV mounting holes. In addition to being suitable for daily manual operation of forklifts, it can also be equipped with various sensing sensors installed in the groove at the top of the connecting rod, thereby achieving automated functions in conjunction with the AGV. It has significant advantages in terms of labor costs and work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views showing the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, in actual manufacturing, the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth should be included.
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a tandem rod structure for AGV trolleys, including a square support plate 1, a tandem rod 2 is provided on one side of the square support plate 1, one end of the tandem rod 2 is inserted into the inside of the square support plate 1, and a positioning bolt 101 is provided on the outside of the tandem rod 2. The positioning bolt 101 and the tandem rod 2 pass through the square support plate 1 and are threadedly connected to the tandem rod 2, which facilitates the assembly of the tandem rod 2 and the square support plate 1.
[0024] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the connecting rod 2 is V-shaped. The V-shaped structure, by optimizing the geometry, can improve the overall stiffness and reduce structural deflection.

[0027] The equipment board 3 has an AGV hole 4 inside, and the top of the rod 2 near the equipment board 3 has a sensor mounting hole 5.
[0028] During use, standardized sensor mounting holes 5 can be pre-set on the top of the rod 2, allowing for easy and secure integration of various sensors. These include: weight sensors (for real-time monitoring of cargo weight to prevent overloading); distance sensors (for precise sensing of the rod's insertion depth into the pallet, the cargo's position on the rod, and distance from surrounding obstacles to improve operational accuracy and safety); vision sensors (for identifying pallet type, cargo condition, and shelf location to guide and position cargo); and posture sensors (for monitoring whether cargo is tilted or shifted to prevent it from falling).
[0029] This device, with its pre-drilled AGV holes 4 on the equipment board 3, facilitates sensor installation and provides a communication interface with the AGV control system, making it easier to integrate with AGVs. Compared to traditional cylindrical rod-type AGVs, which require complex customized modifications to integrate the necessary sensors, this device offers higher reliability, broadening the intelligence level and application scenarios of AGVs.
