Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] Example

[0021] Please refer to the accompanying drawings in the specification. In this embodiment of the utility model, the special transfer vehicle for the front windshield of the AGV sightseeing vehicle includes an AGV trolley 1, a robotic arm 2, a robotic arm mounting base 3, a suction cup assembly, and a glass fixing assembly.

[0022] The glass fixing assembly is located at the top of the AGV trolley 1. The glass fixing assembly includes a placement box 4, side plates 5, push rods 6, and support columns 7. The placement box 4 has an open top structure. Side plates 5 are respectively arranged around the inside of the placement box 4. The side plates 5 are made of rubber. The push rods 6 are arranged between the side plates 5 and the placement box 4. There are multiple support columns 7, which are fixedly installed at the bottom inside the placement box 4. The push rods 6 can automatically adjust the position of the side plates 5 according to the glass size to adapt to different specifications of windshields.

[0023] The robotic arm mounting base 3 is located on one side of the top of the AGV trolley 1, and the robotic arm 2 is mounted on the robotic arm mounting base 3. The robotic arm 2 is equipped with the suction cup assembly.

[0024] Shock-absorbing plates 8 are provided around the AGV trolley 1, and shock absorbers 9 are provided between the AGV trolley 1 and the shock-absorbing plates 8.

[0025] The suction cup assembly includes a fixing plate 10, a fixing frame 11, a vacuum pump 12, and suction cups 13. There are six fixing frames 11, which are symmetrically arranged in pairs on the fixing plate 10. Each fixing frame 11 has a suction cup 13 at both ends. The top of the fixing plate 10 is equipped with a vacuum pump 12, which has multiple suction pipes 14. The end of each suction pipe 14 away from the vacuum pump 12 is located at the top of the suction cup 13.

[0026] An adjusting rod 15 is provided between the suction cup assembly and the robotic arm 2. One end of the adjusting rod 15 is connected to the robotic arm 2 via a rotating shaft, and the end of the adjusting rod 15 away from the robotic arm 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 10 via a rotating shaft. A telescopic rod 16 is provided on the adjusting rod 15. One end of the telescopic rod 16 is mounted on the adjusting rod 15 via a rotating shaft, and the other end of the telescopic rod 16 is mounted on the fixed plate 10 via a rotating shaft. The telescopic rod 16 drives the adjusting rod 15 to adjust the angle and height of the fixed plate 10, so that the suction cup 13 is completely in contact with the glass surface.

[0027] The surface of the side plate 5 is provided with an anti-slip layer.

[0028] A pressure sensor is installed inside the suction cup 13, and the pressure sensor is electrically connected to the vacuum pump 12.

[0029] Working Principle: The AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) travels along a preset route or according to instructions to the location where the windshield to be transported is stored. The angle adjustment mechanism on the robotic arm mounting base can flexibly adjust the angle of the robotic arm according to actual needs, preparing it for grasping the glass. Driven by the control system, the robotic arm extends above the windshield. Through the adjustment structure composed of adjusting rods and telescopic rods, the position and angle of the suction cup assembly are precisely adjusted, ensuring that the suction cup is completely attached to the glass surface. At this time, the vacuum pump starts, drawing air from the suction cup through the suction pipe to create negative pressure inside the suction cup. Using atmospheric pressure, the windshield is firmly adsorbed onto the suction cup. Simultaneously, the pressure sensor on the surface of the suction cup monitors the adsorption pressure in real time and feeds the data back to the vacuum pump, ensuring that the adsorption force is within a safe and stable range. The robotic arm smoothly lifts the adsorbed windshield and moves it into the placement box on the AGV. Multiple support columns inside the placement box provide stable bottom support for the glass. Then, the rubber side plates around the placement box are pushed by push rods to move towards and clamp the glass, further securing the glass and preventing it from shaking or shifting during transportation. The shock absorbers and dampers around the AGV effectively cushioned vibrations and bumps from the road surface during travel, protecting the glass. The AGV then transported the glass to the designated location along a pre-planned route. Upon arrival, the AGV stopped, and the robotic arm adjusted the suction cup assembly using adjusting and extending rods, accurately placing the glass in the target position. The vacuum pump stopped working, the pressure inside the suction cup returned to normal atmospheric pressure, and the glass separated from the suction cup, completing the unloading task.

[0030] In the above process, the rubber side panels around the inside of the placement box of this utility model have an elastic buffering effect, which can reduce hard collisions between the transfer vehicle and other objects; the push rod between the side panels and the placement box further enhances protection and adapts to the fixing requirements of glass of different sizes. The anti-slip layer on the surface of the side panels can increase the friction between the glass and the side panels and prevent the glass from sliding and colliding. Multiple support columns at the bottom of the placement box provide a stable support surface for the glass, avoiding direct contact between the glass and the bottom surface, which could cause wear or uneven stress; the combination of the robotic arm mounting base and the robotic arm can realize the flexible movement of the suction cup assembly. With the help of the vacuum pump and suction cup, the glass can be quickly grasped and placed, reducing manual operation costs and improving transfer efficiency.

[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These will not affect the implementation effect of this utility model or the practicality of the patent.
