[0002] AGVs are transport vehicles equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic navigation devices, capable of traveling along a prescribed navigation path, and possessing safety protection and various transfer functions. The clamping arms of clamp-type AGVs can be flexibly adjusted in spacing via hydraulic or electric systems to accommodate boxes of different widths.
[0003] Existing AGVs suitable for various types of containers use telescopic and lifting structures to raise and lower the clamping device during operation. Silicone blocks are placed on the surface of the clamping device where it contacts the container to prevent slippage. However, after long-term use, the silicone blocks wear down, reducing their anti-slip properties. Therefore, this invention proposes an AGV suitable for various types of containers. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an AGV trolley suitable for various types of boxes, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that after long-term use, the silicone block wears down, resulting in reduced anti-slip performance, and the current clamping device is an integral structure that cannot be disassembled and replaced.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an AGV trolley suitable for various types of boxes, comprising a main body, a drive device disposed at the bottom of the main body, a telescopic structure disposed at the front of the main body, and a lifting structure disposed at the front of the main body. A clamping device is installed on the front side of the lifting structure, and an installation mechanism is provided on the inner side of the end of the clamping device. The installation mechanism consists of a silicone pad, a base, and symmetrically arranged limiting components. The silicone pad is installed on the front side of the base, and the symmetrically arranged limiting components are disposed between the base and the clamping device. An anti-slip component is provided on the surface of the silicone pad. The anti-slip component consists of multiple wavy silicone strips and multiple silicone pillars. The multiple wavy silicone strips are fixed to the surface of the silicone pad, and the multiple silicone pillars are distributed on the surface of the silicone pad and are in a fixed state.
[0006] Preferably, the cross-sectional dimensions of the silicone pad are the same as those of the base.
[0007] Preferably, the limiting component consists of a limiting groove and a limiting slider. The limiting groove is formed on the surface of the clamping device, the limiting slider is disposed inside the limiting groove, and the rear side of the limiting slider is fixed to the rear surface of the base.
[0008] Preferably, the surface of the limiting slider is in contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the end cross-section of the limiting slider has a T-shaped structure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] By designing an installation mechanism, the original AGV, suitable for various types of containers, improved upon the previous method. The original system used silicone blocks on the gripping device where they contacted the container to prevent slippage. However, because the gripping device was a single unit, the silicone blocks couldn't be replaced after prolonged use, leading to reduced slippage. By incorporating a detachable installation mechanism on the gripping device, the silicone blocks can be removed and replaced after extended use, ensuring the AGV's slip resistance when gripping goods.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides a technical solution: an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) suitable for various types of containers, including a main body 1, a drive device 2 located at the bottom of the main body 1, a telescopic structure 4 located at the front of the main body 1, and a lifting structure 5 located at the front of the main body 1. The lifting structure 5 is located at one end of the AGV and can realize the lifting and lowering of the clamping device 3 to adapt to the clamping and placement of containers at different heights. The telescopic structure 4 enables the clamping device 3 to extend and retract synchronously along the width direction of the AGV, which adjusts the lateral position of the clamping device 3 to accurately align with the container and clamp it. The telescopic structure 4 and the lifting structure 5 make the AGV suitable for various types of containers. The front of the lifting structure 5 is equipped with... The clamping device 3 has an installation mechanism on the inner side of each end. The installation mechanism consists of a silicone pad 31, a base 32, and symmetrically arranged limiting components 33. The silicone pad 31 is installed on the front side of the base 32, and the symmetrically arranged limiting components 33 are positioned between the base 32 and the clamping device 3. The surface of the silicone pad 31 is provided with an anti-slip component, which consists of multiple wavy silicone strips 311 and multiple silicone pillars 312. The wavy silicone strips 311 are fixed to the surface of the silicone pad 31, and the silicone pillars 312 are distributed on the surface of the silicone pad 31 and are fixed in place. This designed installation mechanism improves the performance of AGVs originally suitable for various box types during operation. The silicone pads on the surface of the clamping device 3, where they contact the container, serve an anti-slip function. Because the clamping device 3 is a single, integral structure, the silicone pads cannot be replaced after prolonged use due to wear, leading to reduced anti-slip performance. By incorporating a detachable mounting mechanism on the clamping device 3, the silicone pads can be removed and replaced after long-term use when they become worn, ensuring the anti-slip performance of the AGV for various container types when clamping goods. The cross-sectional dimensions of the silicone pad 31 are the same as those of the base 32. A laser scanning radar and a vision camera are mounted on the main body 1. The vision camera can identify the relative position, size, and shape of the container, assisting the AGV in adaptive picking, placing, and stacking operations. The inner side of the main body 1 is equipped with an electrical control box, which serves as the control center of the AGV. It integrates various controllers, drivers, relays, and other electrical components. It receives signals from sensors and the navigation system, processes them, and sends control commands to the drive system and clamping mechanism. Sensors are installed inside the main body 1, including pressure sensors and distance sensors. The pressure sensor monitors the clamping force to prevent damage to the container from excessive clamping or falling due to excessive clamping. The distance sensor detects the distance between the clamping arm and the container to ensure accurate clamping action.
[0020] In this embodiment, preferably, the limiting component 33 consists of a limiting groove 331 and a limiting slider 332. The limiting groove 331 is formed on the surface of the clamping device 3, and the limiting slider 332 is disposed on the inner side of the limiting groove 331. The rear side of the limiting slider 332 is fixed to the rear surface of the base 32. The limiting component 33 limits the contact between the base 32 and the clamping device 3 to ensure the stability of the two after installation. The surface of the limiting slider 332 is in contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove 331. The end cross-section of the limiting slider 332 is T-shaped. Multiple metal pads 313 are fixed on the inner side of the silicone pad 31. Multiple through holes 3130 are formed on the inner side of the clamping device 3. Bolts pass through the inner side of the metal pads 313 and the inner side of the through holes 3130.
[0021] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: Staff input material handling requirements and other information into a computer terminal. This information is sent to the central control room, where technical personnel issue instructions to the system. The AGV receives the task instructions through the communication module, clearly defining the handling task. The AGV's backend control system calculates the optimal driving path based on a preset navigation map, its current position, and the task instructions. During the planning process, factors such as avoiding obstacles, other AGVs, and maximizing efficiency are considered. The AGV then travels along the planned path to the pickup location. The telescopic structure 4 and lifting structure 5 work together to move the clamping device 3 to a position suitable for the goods, docking with and picking up the goods. After pickup, the AGV travels along the planned path to the target unloading point. During the journey, the navigation system continuously positions and guides it, while the safety monitoring system monitors the surrounding environment in real time to ensure safe driving. Upon reaching the target unloading point, the AGV stops, and the clamping device 3 places the goods in the designated location, completing the unloading process.
[0022] When the mounting mechanism inside the clamping device 3 needs to be replaced after long-term use, first remove the bolts that pass through the inside of the metal pad 313 and the through hole 3130, and then pull the silicone pad 31 and the base 32 outward so that the limit slider 332 and the limit groove 331 slide apart, thus completing the disassembly of the mounting mechanism.
[0023] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
