[0036] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0037] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 10 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an adjustable-pitch AGV is provided, comprising: a chassis 1; a plurality of floating adjustable fixtures 2, which are spaced apart on the top of the chassis 1 along a first direction and are slidably connected to the chassis 1; a placement space for placing products is formed between each pair of adjacent floating adjustable fixtures 2; and a clamping mechanism 23, which is disposed on the floating adjustable fixtures 2 and is used to fix the floating adjustable fixtures 2 to the chassis 1 after the floating adjustable fixtures 2 have moved to a predetermined position.

[0039] In this embodiment, by setting multiple floating adjustable fixtures 2 on the chassis 1, and the floating adjustable fixtures 2 being slidably connected to the chassis 1, the distance between two adjacent floating adjustable fixtures 2 can be adjusted by sliding to adjust the size of the product to be transported, thereby adjusting the size of the placement space to accommodate products of different sizes. This method has a wide range of applications, is convenient and quick, and saves time and effort. After adjustment, the floating adjustable fixtures 2 are fixed on the chassis 1 by the clamping mechanism 23 to prevent the product from falling off due to movement, thereby improving the stability during the transportation process.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the floating adjustable fixture 2 includes a base plate 21 and a frame 22 set on the base plate 21. Two slide rails 3 are arranged side by side on the top of the chassis 1. The slide rails 3 are arranged along the first direction. The frame 22 is slidably connected to the slide rails 3. A set of clamping mechanisms 23 is set on the frame 22 corresponding to each slide rail 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, the stability can be improved by sliding the base plate 21 with the slide rail 3 on the chassis 1. The frame 22 can be used to fix the product. After the base plate 21 moves to the appropriate position on the slide rail 3, the pressing mechanism 23 fixes the base plate 21 to the slide rail 3, so as to fix the whole and improve the stability.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the clamping mechanism 23 includes a fixed pressure plate 231 and a rocker arm 232; the side of the slide rail 3 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 4 along the first direction; the fixed pressure plate 231 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 21 and is hinged to the base plate 21; a snap-fit ​​groove is formed between the fixed pressure plate 231 and the base plate 21, and the snap-fit ​​part 4 passes through the snap-fit ​​groove; the rocker arm 232 is rotatably provided on the base plate 21, and a screw 233 is provided at the bottom of the rocker arm 232; the screw 233 passes through the base plate 21 and is threadedly connected to the fixed pressure plate 231, and is used to adjust the gap size of the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0043] It should be noted that the snap-fit ​​part 4 is arranged along the first direction.

[0044] In this embodiment, a locking groove is formed between the fixed pressure plate 231 and the base plate 21, and the locking part 4 passes through the locking groove. When the base plate 21 is moved to the preset position on the slide rail 3, the rocker arm 232 is rotated, causing the screw 233 to move the fixed pressure plate 231 toward the base plate 21, reducing the gap of the locking groove. This allows the fixed pressure plate 231 and the base plate 21 to clamp the locking part 4, thereby keeping the base plate 21 and the slide rail 3 in a fixed state. At this time, the clamping mechanism 23 is in a fixed state. When it is necessary to move the base plate 21, the rocker arm 232 is used to rotate the screw 233, causing the screw 233 to move the fixed pressure plate 231 away from the base plate 21, increasing the gap of the locking groove until the gap of the locking groove is greater than the locking part 4, so that the base plate 21 can move on the slide rail 3. The operation is convenient and quick. At this time, the clamping mechanism 23 is in an unlocked state.

[0045] Specifically, the fixed pressure plate 231 is hinged to the base plate 21 via a shaft.

[0046] Specifically, the base plate 21 is provided with a through hole for the screw to pass through, and the fixing plate 231 is provided with a threaded hole for threaded connection with the screw 233.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, there are two joysticks 232, which are spaced apart along the first direction.

[0048] In this embodiment, two rocker arms 232 are provided to further improve stability when fixed.

[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, at least one guide wheel 5 is provided on the base plate 21 corresponding to each slide rail 3, and the guide wheel 5 abuts against the side of the slide rail 3 along the first direction.

[0050] It should be noted that the guide wheels 5 located at both ends of the base plate 21 simultaneously abut against the inner or outer side of the slide rail 3.

[0051] In this embodiment, the guide wheel 5 is set to abut against the side of the slide rail 3 to play a limiting role, thereby improving the stability and smoothness of the sliding process.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the floating adjustable fixture 2 also includes a floating wheel mechanism; the floating wheel mechanism is set on the base plate 21 and is used to support the base plate 21 to move along the slide rail 3.

[0053] In this embodiment, a floating wheel mechanism is set to support the base plate 21 to move along the slide rail 3, which improves the smoothness of the movement process and saves time and effort.

[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 8As shown, each slide rail 3 is provided with a set of floating wheel mechanisms, and each set of floating wheel mechanisms includes two sets of floating wheel assemblies 24 spaced apart along the first direction.

[0055] In this embodiment, two sets of floating wheel assemblies 24 are provided to further improve stability during movement.

[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the floating wheel assembly 24 includes a fixed base 241, a rotating part 242, and a floating wheel 243. The fixed base 241 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 21, and a vertical rod 244 is provided on the fixed base 241. One end of the rotating part 242 is hinged to the fixed base 241, and the other end is rotatably connected to the floating wheel 243. The floating wheel 243 abuts against the top of the slide rail 3. The rotating part 242 is provided with a slot for the vertical rod 244 to pass through. A limiting part 245 is provided on the vertical rod 244 above the rotating part 242, and a spring 246 is sleeved on the vertical rod 244 between the limiting part 245 and the rotating part 242.

[0057] It should be noted that the upright 244 passes through the rotating part 242 through the slot, and the rotating part 242 can rotate easily through the space of the slot.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the clamping mechanism 23 is in the unlocked state, during the movement of the base plate 21, the rotating part 242 moves to the bottom of the upright 244 under the action of the spring 246, so that when the floating wheel 243 abuts against the slide rail 3, the entire base plate 21 is lifted, avoiding contact between the base plate 21 and the slide rail 3. The floating wheel 243 moves on the slide rail 3, reducing friction and improving the smoothness of sliding. After moving to the preset position, the clamping mechanism 23 fixes the base plate 21 on the slide rail 3. At this time, the base plate 21 is pressed down to contact and fix with the slide rail 3, while the rotating part 242 rises and compresses the spring 246. When the clamping mechanism 23 is in the unlocked state and moves again, the base plate 21 can be lifted by the spring 246 to move.

[0059] In one embodiment, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the limiting part 245 is a nut; the nut is sleeved on the upright 244 and is threadedly connected to the upright 244.

[0060] In this embodiment, a nut is used in the limiting part 245, and the nut is threadedly connected to the upright 244. The height of the nut can be adjusted so that the spring force of the spring 246 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. At the same time, it is convenient to disassemble and install the rotating part 242 and the spring 246.

[0061] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two floating adjustable fixtures 2.

[0062] In this embodiment, by setting two floating adjustable fixtures 2, the spacing between the floating adjustable fixtures 2 can be easily adjusted to adapt to products of different sizes, saving time and effort and increasing the applicability.

[0063] The specific working principle of the adjustable-distance tooling AGV provided in this embodiment is as follows: the guide wheels 5 on both sides of the base plate 21 abut against the slide rail 3 in the horizontal direction for limiting the position. At the same time, the locking part 4 on the slide rail 3 engages in the locking groove formed by the fixed pressure plate 231 and the base plate 21 for limiting the position, and the floating wheel 243 abuts against the slide rail 3. When it is necessary to place a product, the screw 233 is first loosened by the rocker arm 232 to increase the gap of the locking groove. The rotating part 242 then supports the base plate 21 to rise to a preset height under the action of the spring 246, and then the size of the product to be transported is adjusted accordingly. The base plate 21 is moved to a certain size, and the two floating adjustable fixtures 2 are adjusted to an appropriate distance. Then, the screws 233 are tightened by the rocker arm 232 to reduce the gap of the snap-fit ​​groove. The base plate 21 is pressed down and cooperates with the fixed pressure plate 231 to clamp the snap-fit ​​part 4, thereby fixing it so that the product can be placed in the placement space and the product can be transported. The operation is convenient and quick, saving time and effort. It can be adapted to the transport of products of different sizes and has a wide range of applications. It solves the problem that existing AGVs need to be adapted to install different fixtures to place products according to different sizes, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
