[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
[0024] An automated guided vehicle (AGV) for handling cylindrical goods includes an automated guided vehicle body 100, a longitudinally movable frame 102 on the vehicle body 100, and two spaced-apart fork carriages 200 on the movable frame 102 that support cylindrical goods 400. The rear ends of the fork carriages 200 are connected to the movable frame 102, and the front ends of the fork carriages 200 extend forward away from the vehicle body 100. A fork gap 201 is provided between the two fork carriages 200. When the cylindrical goods 400 are placed between the two fork carriages 200, the bottom of the cylindrical goods 400 is embedded in the fork gap 201.
[0025] The automated guided vehicle for handling cylindrical goods described above arranges two spaced-apart fork carriages 200 with a fork gap 201 between them. In this way, the cylindrical goods 400 can be placed between the two fork carriages 200, with the fork carriages 200 supporting the cylindrical goods 400 and the bottom of the cylindrical goods 400 embedded in the fork gap 201, which facilitates the handling of the cylindrical goods 400. Furthermore, the movable frame 102 can move longitudinally, thereby enabling the operation of handling the cylindrical goods 400.
[0026] In this embodiment, the fork carriage 200 is strip-shaped and arranged vertically between the fork carriage 200 and the moving frame 102. This facilitates the arrangement of the fork carriage 200, and when the moving frame moves longitudinally, the fork carriage 200 moves longitudinally synchronously, thereby enabling the fork carriage 200 to transport cylindrical goods 400.
[0027] In this embodiment, the fork carriage 200 has a support surface facing the fork spacing 201. When the cylindrical cargo 400 is placed between the two fork carriages 200, the support surface abuts against the cylindrical cargo 400 from bottom to top. By using the support surfaces of the two fork carriages 200 to support the cylindrical cargo 400 from bottom to top, the cylindrical cargo 400 can be kept stable between the two fork carriages 200.
[0028] In this embodiment, the support surface is arranged at an angle towards the fork spacing 201 along the direction from top to bottom. This allows the support surface to better adhere to the surface of the cylindrical cargo 400, thereby increasing the contact area between the support surface and the cylindrical cargo 400, so as to better support the cylindrical cargo 400.
[0029] In this embodiment, the front end of the vehicle body 100 is provided with a longitudinal frame 101 that is longitudinally movable and the guide frame 102 is longitudinally movable. The movable frame 102 is movably connected to the longitudinal frame 101. In this way, the longitudinal frame 101 can move longitudinally, and the movable frame 102 can move longitudinally relative to the longitudinal frame 101, thereby realizing nested longitudinal movement and greatly increasing the longitudinal movement length of the fork carriage 200.
[0030] In this embodiment, the front end of the vehicle body 100 is provided with a longitudinally arranged fixed frame 105. The longitudinal frame 101 is movably connected to the fixed frame 105. The fixed frame 105 is arranged at the front end of the vehicle body 100. The longitudinal frame 101 is connected to the fixed frame 105, and the movable frame 102 is connected to the longitudinal frame 101. In this way, the fork carriage 200 can be exposed at the front end of the vehicle body 100, which is convenient for the fork carriage 200 to carry cylindrical goods 400.
[0031] In this embodiment, the front end of the vehicle body 100 is provided with two bottom legs 103, the rear end of the bottom legs 103 is connected to the vehicle body 100, and the front end of the bottom legs 103 extends forward away from the vehicle body 100; the two bottom legs 103 are arranged at intervals, with an isolation interval, and the two fork carriages 200 are placed in the isolation interval.
[0032] By arranging two bottom legs 103, the bottom support range of the vehicle body 100 can be increased, maintaining the stability of the vehicle body 100. In addition, rolling wheels can be installed on the bottom legs 103, which can increase rolling guidance when the vehicle body 100 is moving automatically, maintaining the stability of the movement of the vehicle body 100.
[0033] In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the vehicle body 100 is provided with an outer convex wall, and an outer periphery rubber strip 107 is fitted on the outer convex wall. The outer periphery rubber strip 107 extends to the outer side of the bottom leg 103 to form an outer rubber strip 104. In this way, during the automatic guiding movement of the vehicle body 100, the outer periphery rubber strip 107 and the outer rubber strip 104 can provide elastic protection to the outer periphery and avoid phenomena such as hard collisions.
[0034] In this embodiment, the bottom leg 103 has an outer edge that is away from the isolation interval. An outer strip 300 is protruding from the outer edge. An outer rubber strip 104 is connected to the outer strip 300 and is arranged away from the bottom leg 103. By forming the outer strip 300, it is convenient to connect the outer rubber strip 104 and the bottom leg 103.
[0035] In this embodiment, the outer strip 300 has a hollow groove 301, and the outer adhesive strip 104 includes an embedded part 1043 and an exposed part 1042 exposed outside the outer strip 300. The embedded part 1043 is embedded in the hollow groove 301 so that the outer adhesive strip 104 is fixedly connected to the outer strip 300. The interior of the exposed part 1042 is hollow and has a hollow cavity 1041.
[0036] This facilitates the connection between the outer rubber strip 104 and the outer strip 300, and the embedding part 1043 can be directly embedded in the hollow groove 301; the arrangement of the hollow cavity 1041 can make the exposed part 1042 more elastically deformable, which can enhance the elastic impact performance of the exposed part 1042.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
