Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of AGV power battery technology, and in particular to an AGV battery structure that integrates a brush plate and a counterweight. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, all existing automatic battery charging systems use brush plates or brush blocks for charging. The brush plates need to be installed in corresponding holes on the vehicle body, which is often unsightly. This method also increases the wiring inside the vehicle body, posing certain safety hazards. At the same time, the existing vehicle body counterweight design is also made and fixed separately on the vehicle body. This not only increases the complexity of assembling the vehicle body, as the counterweight and battery need to be hoisted separately, but also requires two different mounting cavities to be reserved on the vehicle body, further limiting the design and space utilization of the vehicle body.

[0003] Currently, some companies have made improvements to address this issue. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN218858556U discloses an AGV counterweight component. In this solution, multiple cavities are set in the installation structure. During assembly, counterweight blocks are filled according to specific work requirements to reduce the operating load of the transport vehicle and reduce the energy consumption of the transport vehicle.

[0004] To address the issue in existing technologies where separate mounting positions for the brush plate and counterweight need to be reserved on the vehicle body, this utility model proposes an AGV battery structure that integrates the brush plate and counterweight. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an AGV battery structure that integrates brush plate and counterweight.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an AGV battery structure integrating a brush plate and a counterweight, including a counterweight box. A partition is provided inside the counterweight box, dividing it into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. A counterweight block is installed in the lower cavity, and a counterweight box cover is provided at the opening of the lower cavity. A limiting block is provided in the upper cavity, with mounting holes on both sides of the limiting block. At least one set of limiting holes corresponding to the mounting holes are opened on the surface of the counterweight box. A fastening screw is inserted into the mounting hole after it is aligned with the limiting hole. A battery module is provided in the upper cavity, housed between the lower cavity and the limiting block. An automatic charging interface is provided on the battery module. A brush plate is provided on the outer surface of the counterweight box corresponding to the automatic charging interface, and the brush plate is electrically connected to the automatic charging interface.

[0007] As can be seen from the above solution, this utility model optimizes the AGV battery structure by integrating the brush plate and counterweight into a unified counterweight box. The counterweight enhances the stability and robustness of the transport vehicle structure, improves the efficiency of the transport vehicle, and enhances the applicability of the transport vehicle device. By installing the counterweight in the lower cavity, the center of gravity of the transport vehicle can be effectively lowered, improving the stability of the transport vehicle. This utility model uses limiting blocks to limit the battery module, improving the overall structural stability.

[0008] The limiting holes are several groups of limiting holes arranged in an array.

[0009] The limiting hole is an oblong shape. Therefore, the adjustable limiting block can accommodate battery assemblies of different sizes.

[0010] The counterweight box has an opening at the top, and the counterweight box has lifting holes on both sides of the opening.

[0011] The battery module is provided with a lifting ring at its end, and the lifting ring is positioned facing the opening.

[0012] The battery module is also equipped with a switch, a communication port, a discharge interface, a manual charging interface, an antenna, and a power display. Therefore, the power display is used to show the battery level, and the discharge interface is used to discharge the battery module.

[0013] A buffer pad is installed on the bottom wall of the upper cavity. Therefore, the buffer pad is used to cushion the battery module. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model is an AGV battery structure integrating a brush plate and a counterweight, including a counterweight box 1. A partition 2 is provided inside the counterweight box 1, dividing it into an upper cavity 11 and a lower cavity 12. A counterweight block 3 is installed inside the lower cavity 12, and a counterweight box cover 121 is provided at the opening of the lower cavity 12. A limiting block 4 is provided inside the upper cavity 11, and mounting holes 41 are provided on both sides of the limiting block 4. At least one mounting hole 41 corresponding to the mounting hole 41 is formed on the surface of the counterweight box 1. A limiting hole 13 is provided, and a fastening screw 8 is inserted after the mounting hole 41 is aligned with the limiting hole 13. A battery module 5 is provided in the upper cavity 11 and is accommodated between the lower cavity 12 and the limiting block 4. A buffer pad 111 is installed on the bottom wall of the upper cavity 11 by the partition plate 2. An automatic charging interface 51 is provided on the battery module 5. A brush plate 6 is provided on the outer surface of the counterweight box 1 corresponding to the automatic charging interface 51. The brush plate 6 is electrically connected to the automatic charging interface 51. In this embodiment, the limiting block 4 includes two vertically arranged blocks, and the mounting hole 41 includes three vertically arranged holes on both sides of the limiting block 4. The brush plate 6 is connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery module 5 through a cable. The counterweight box cover 121 is fastened to the lower cavity 12 by screws. When it is necessary to replace the counterweight with a different weight, it can be done by disassembling and assembling at the opening of the lower cavity 12.

[0023] The limiting block 4 is an adjustable structure. (As shown in the image) Figure 5 In the first embodiment shown, a set of vertically arranged limiting holes 13 are provided. The limiting holes 13 correspond to the mounting holes 41 on the side wall of the limiting block 4 and are connected and fixed by inserting fastening screws. The limiting block 4 is a replaceable structure; by replacing the limiting blocks 4 with different widths, the accommodating space between the upper cavity 11 and the limiting block 4 can be changed to accommodate the installation and positioning of battery modules 5 of different sizes.

[0024] like Figure 6 In the second embodiment shown, the limiting holes 13 are several groups of limiting holes 13 arranged in an array. After the mounting holes 41 on the limiting block 4 are aligned with different groups of limiting holes 13, fastening screws are installed to lock them in place, thereby adjusting the position of the limiting block 4 and limiting different battery modules.

[0025] like Figure 7In the third embodiment shown, the limiting hole 13 is an oblong hole. The oblong-shaped limiting hole 13 is horizontally arranged. After the mounting hole 41 on the limiting block 4 is installed at different positions in the horizontal direction of the oblong hole, it is tightened by fastening screws, thereby realizing the adjustment of the limiting block 4 at different positions in the counterweight box 1, and thus realizing the limiting of battery modules 5 of different sizes.

[0026] The counterweight box 1 has an opening 10 at its top, and the counterweight box 1 has lifting holes 14 on both sides of the opening 10. In this embodiment, there are two horizontally arranged lifting holes 14.

[0027] The battery module 5 is provided with a lifting ring 52 at one end, and the lifting ring 52 is positioned facing the opening 10.

[0028] The battery module 5 is also equipped with a switch, a communication port 53, a discharge interface 54, a manual charging interface 55, an antenna 56, and a power display 57.

[0029] The workflow of this utility model is as follows: The brush plate 6 is installed on the surface of the counterweight box 1. First, the battery module 5 is placed in the upper cavity 11 of the counterweight box 1 and limited by the limiting block 4 to ensure that the battery module 4 is stable and can adapt to different size requirements; and connected to the automatic charging interface 51 on the battery module 5 to ensure unobstructed signal transmission; at the same time, the counterweight block 3 is placed in the lower cavity 12, and the position and weight of the counterweight block 3 are adjusted as needed to achieve the best balance effect. The counterweight box cover 121 is installed to ensure that the counterweight block 3 will not fall out; next, the assembled battery structure is checked to see if it is stable and whether each component is installed in place and connected firmly; after confirming that everything is correct, the lifting tool is used to hook the lifting hole 14 and lift the entire battery structure into the predetermined position in the AGV car and fix it to ensure that it is firmly connected to the car body.

[0030] During charging, the AGV can automatically report its power level and request charging. The ground control center will then direct it to the charging area for automatic charging. When necessary, manual charging can also be used. The operator will drive the AGV to the charging area and connect it to the charger using the manual charging interface 55 on the battery module 5.

[0031] When replacing the battery, ensure the AGV is stopped and the power is disconnected. Prepare a spare battery and replacement tools. Remove the limit block 4 and use the lifting ring 52 to remove the old battery module 5. Then, place the spare battery into the upper cavity 11 and secure it with the limit block 4, ensuring a stable installation and alignment with the automatic charging interface 51. If the new battery is equipped with a brush plate 6, it does not need to be replaced; otherwise, install the new brush plate 6 on the surface of the counterweight box 1 and connect the electrical signal line. Finally, double-check that all components are installed correctly and securely connected. Close the counterweight box cover 121 and start the AGV for a test run to ensure everything is normal.

[0032] Finally, it should be emphasized that the above description is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
