[0029] 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.

[0030] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an AGV lifting device is provided, comprising: a vehicle body 1 with multiple openings on its periphery; a lifting assembly 2, each opening having a set of lifting assemblies 2; the lifting assembly 2 includes a hanging member 201 and a rotating assembly; the rotating assembly is rotatably disposed within the opening; the hanging member 201 is disposed on the rotating assembly and is used to connect to external lifting equipment for lifting; the hanging member 201 has a first position located inside the vehicle body 1 and a second position located outside the vehicle body 1, which can be rotated by the rotating assembly.

[0032] In this embodiment, an opening is provided on the vehicle body 1, and the hanging component 201 is rotatably disposed within the opening via a rotating assembly. When the vehicle body 1 needs to be hoisted, the hanging component 201 is rotated to a second position outside the vehicle body 1 via the rotating assembly. At this time, the hanging component 201 protrudes from the vehicle body 1, facilitating hoisting via external hoisting equipment for maintenance. After hoisting and maintenance are completed, the hanging component 201 is rotated to a first position inside the vehicle body 1 via the rotating assembly. At this time, the hanging component 201 does not protrude from the vehicle body 1, i.e., it is hidden inside the vehicle body 1, avoiding interference with workstations or pallets during operation due to protrusion outside the vehicle body 1, thus affecting its use. The overall structure is simple, easy to operate, aesthetically pleasing, and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a rotating plate 202, a rotating part 203, a pin 204, and a pin seat 205. A pin seat 205 is provided on both the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 at the opening. The rotating plate 202 is adapted to be installed in the opening and is rotatably engaged with the opening. One side of the rotating plate 202 is the mounting side. The rotating part 203 is located in the middle position of the mounting side. The pin 204 passes through the rotating part 203 and is rotatably connected to the two pin seats 205 at both ends. The hanging part 201 is provided on the mounting side.

[0034] It should be noted that the two sides of the rotating plate 202 are fitted with the opening with clearance.

[0035] In this embodiment, a rotating part 203 is provided on the mounting side of the rotating plate 202, and a pin 204 is provided on the rotating part 203 to rotate and engage with the pin seat 205, thereby improving the connection strength. When it is necessary to suspend the vehicle body 1, the pin 204 of the rotating part 203 drives the suspension member 201 to rotate to a second position outside the vehicle body 1 around the pin seat 205. At this time, the suspension member 201 protrudes from the vehicle body 1, making it convenient to connect the suspension member 201 to external hoisting equipment for hoisting, thus facilitating the process. Maintenance: After hoisting maintenance is completed, the pin 204 of the rotating part 203 drives the hanging part 201 to rotate to the first position inside the vehicle body 1 around the pin seat 205. At this time, the hanging part 201 does not protrude from the vehicle body 1, that is, it is hidden inside the vehicle body 1, and the side of the rotating plate 202 away from the installation side is flush with the outer wall of the vehicle body 1, avoiding protrusion on the outside of the vehicle body 1, which would cause interference with the work station or pallet during the work process and affect the use. The overall structure is simple, easy to operate, and aesthetically pleasing, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the rotating part 203 and the rotating plate 202 are integrally formed.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rotating part 203 and the rotating plate 202 are integrally formed to improve structural strength and stability.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the rotating assembly also includes a limiting member 206; the limiting member 206 is disposed on the mounting side and is used to abut against the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 for limiting when the rotating plate 202 rotates to the preset position.

[0039] In this embodiment, the limiting member 206 is also set on the same side as the hanging member 201 on the installation side, so that when the rotating plate drives the hanging member 201 to rotate to the first position, the limiting member 206 abuts against the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 to limit it, and when the rotating plate drives the hanging member 201 to rotate to the second position, the limiting member 206 abuts against the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 to limit it, which is convenient and quick.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the limiting member 206 is arranged in the vertical direction and is located at one end of the mounting side; both ends of the limiting member 206 extend beyond the periphery of the rotating plate 202 by a predetermined distance.

[0041] In this embodiment, by extending both ends of the limiting member 206 beyond the periphery of the rotating plate 202 by a predetermined distance, the limiting member 206 is positioned by abutting against the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 during the adjustment process, thereby improving stability.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, magnetic elements 207 are provided on both ends of the limiting member 206 facing the rotating plate 202, and the limiting member 206 abuts against the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 through the magnetic elements 207.

[0043] In this embodiment, magnetic elements 207 are provided on both ends of the limiting member 206 facing the rotating plate 202, so that when the hanging member 201 rotates to the second position, the limiting member 206 abuts against the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 through the magnetic elements 207. The vehicle body 1 is usually made of metal, and the magnetic elements 207 are magnetically connected to the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 to limit the position and maintain stability, so as to prevent the hanging member 201 from rotating to the outside of the vehicle body 1 due to shaking during operation, which would affect its use.

[0044] Specifically, the magnetic component 207 may be a magnet.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the hanging component 201 is an L-shaped plate, and the L-shaped plate is set downwards.

[0046] In this embodiment, the L-shaped plate is positioned downwards to facilitate hoisting.

[0047] As an alternative implementation, the hanging component 201 can also be a hanging ring.

[0048] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the opening is a square hole.

[0049] In this embodiment, the opening is a square hole, which is convenient to adapt to a square shape and ensures structural strength.

[0050] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two sets of hoisting components 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vehicle body 1.

[0051] In this embodiment, two sets of hoisting components 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the vehicle body 1 to improve the stability during hoisting.

[0052] The specific working principle of the AGV lifting device provided in this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to lift the vehicle body 1, the rotating part 203 rotates around the pin seat 205 via the pin shaft 204 until the two ends of the limiting member 206 are opposite to the rotating plate 202 and abut against the inner wall of the vehicle body 1. At this time, the lifting member 201 rotates to the second position outside the vehicle body 1 (e.g., Figure 2As shown), the hanging component 201 protrudes from the vehicle body 1, facilitating hoisting via external hoisting equipment for maintenance. After hoisting and maintenance, the rotating part 203 rotates around the pin seat 205 via the pin 204 until both ends of the limiting component 206 abut against the inner wall of the vehicle body 1 facing the rotating plate 202. The magnetic component 207 is magnetically connected and limited to the inner wall of the vehicle body 1. At this time, the hanging component 201 rotates to the first position outside the vehicle body 1 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown, the hanging component 201 does not protrude from the vehicle body 1, that is, it is hidden inside the vehicle body 1, and the side of the rotating plate 202 facing away from the installation side is flush with the outer wall of the vehicle body 1, avoiding protrusion on the outside of the vehicle body 1 that would cause interference with the work station or pallet during operation and affect use. The overall structure is simple, easy to operate, and aesthetically pleasing, improving maintenance efficiency. It solves the problem that existing AGVs have lifting rings that need to be removed when entering the work station or the bottom of the pallet, and then need to be reinstalled during maintenance, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0053] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, an AGV is provided, including an AGV lifting device as described in any embodiment of the first aspect.

[0054] In this embodiment, the AGV adopts the AGV lifting device of any embodiment of the first aspect. The specific structure of the AGV lifting device is the same as that of the AGV lifting device of any embodiment of the first aspect, so that the AGV with the AGV lifting device has at least the same technical effect as the AGV lifting device described above. The specific principle is the same as that of any embodiment of the first aspect, and will not be described in detail here.

[0055] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
