Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated guided vehicle technology, specifically a foldable cardboard box handling AGV support frame. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of e-commerce logistics and intelligent manufacturing, the level of automation in warehousing and logistics is constantly improving. Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), as core equipment for intelligent handling, are increasingly widely used in scenarios such as carton sorting and production line material transfer.

[0003] Existing automated guided vehicles (AGVs) typically feature fixed carton support frames. However, in real-world logistics applications, carton sizes vary widely. Fixed support frames are not adjustable, making it difficult to effectively accommodate and stably support cartons of different sizes. Therefore, a foldable carton-handling AGV support frame is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a foldable cardboard box handling AGV support frame. By setting a sliding extension plate and a rotating folding rod, the support assembly can adjust the lateral support width and vertical support height, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A foldable carton handling AGV support frame includes an automated guided vehicle body, the upper part of which is equipped with several sets of support components for adapting to and supporting cartons of different sizes. The support assembly includes a support frame disposed on the upper part of the automated guided vehicle body. An extension plate is slidably mounted on the upper part of the support frame in the horizontal direction. Several sets of support rods for limiting the position of the carton are rotatably mounted on the upper part of the extension plate. A groove is provided in the middle of the middle of each set of support rods. A folding rod is hinged in each set of grooves through a rotating connector. Each set of folding rods can rotate upward around the rotating connector to an extension state that is longitudinally collinear with the support rod.

[0006] Preferably, the upper part of the automated guided vehicle body is equipped with a fixing frame for fixing support components, and several groups of the support components are equidistantly distributed along the vertical direction of the fixing frame.

[0007] Preferably, each set of support frames has an upper part with a movable groove that matches the extension plate, and each set of movable grooves has symmetrical sliding grooves on both sides.

[0008] Preferably, pulleys are symmetrically installed on both sides of each set of extension plates, and each set of pulleys is slidably installed inside the corresponding groove.

[0009] Preferably, each set of extension plates has several sets of strip grooves on its upper part, and the lower end of each set of support rods is rotatably installed in the corresponding strip groove via a rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, each set of rotating connectors has two sets of torsion springs sleeved on both sides of the folding rod, with the two ends of each set of torsion springs abutting against the outer wall of the folding rod and the inner wall of the groove, respectively.

[0011] Preferably, each set of folding rods has a locking block installed on its side wall, and each set of support rods has a matching locking slot in the middle corresponding to the locking block.

[0012] Preferably, a limiting block is rotatably installed in the middle of each set of card slots, and each set of limiting blocks can form a locking and limiting action with the card block embedded in the card slot. Several sets of springs connected to the inner wall of the card slot are installed at the bottom of each set of limiting blocks.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The horizontally sliding extension plate on the upper part of the support frame can flexibly adapt to the lateral size requirements of different carton sizes. At the same time, combined with the support rod rotatably mounted on the extension plate and the folding rod hinged in the groove of the support rod through the rotatable connector, the folding rod can rotate upward around the rotatable connector to extend into a longitudinally collinear state with the support rod. Thus, the longitudinal support range can be flexibly adjusted according to the height of the carton. This effectively solves the problem that the existing fixed AGV carton support frame is difficult to be compatible with and stably support different sizes of cartons due to its inability to be adjusted. It significantly improves the AGV's adaptability and support stability for handling diverse carton sizes in actual logistics scenarios. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0016] 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.

[0017] This utility model provides: a foldable support frame for a cardboard box handling AGV, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes an automated guided vehicle (AGV) body 1, on the upper part of which are several sets of support components 3 for adapting to and supporting cartons of different sizes. The AGV body 1 is the basic load-bearing platform of the entire support frame, providing an installation carrier for the support components 3, which are used to fix cartons of different sizes.

[0018] The support assembly 3 includes a support frame 301 mounted on the upper part of the automated guided vehicle body 1. An extension plate 302 is slidably mounted on the upper part of the support frame 301 in the horizontal direction. Several sets of support rods 307 for limiting the position of cartons are rotatably mounted on the upper part of the extension plate 302. Each set of support rods 307 has a groove 308 in the middle. A folding rod 309 is hinged in each groove 308 through a rotating connector 310. Each set of folding rods 309 can rotate upward around the rotating connector 310 to an extension state that is longitudinally collinear with the support rods 307. The support frame 301 provides a horizontal sliding track support for the extension plate 302. The extension plate 302 can slide horizontally through a bottom pulley 305 that engages with the groove of the support frame 301, thereby adjusting the lateral support width to accommodate cartons of different widths. The support rod 307 is connected to the extension plate 302 via a pivot, and its support direction can be adjusted according to the tilt angle of the carton's side. The groove 308 in the middle of the support rod 307 provides storage and rotation space for the folding rod 309. When handling taller cartons, the folding rod 309 is driven to rotate upward around the rotating connector 310 until it is longitudinally collinear with the support rod 307. At this time, the folding rod 309 and the support rod 307 form a superimposed vertical support structure, extending the support height from the height of a single support rod to the sum of their lengths, thereby effectively limiting the upper part of the carton. When handling shorter cartons, the folding rod 309 can be rotated downward and stored in the groove 308 to avoid interference caused by excessive support.

[0019] Preferably, the upper part of the automated guided vehicle (AGV) body 1 is equipped with a mounting frame 2 for fixed support components 3, and several sets of support components 3 are equidistantly distributed along the vertical direction of the mounting frame 2. The mounting frame 2 provides a vertical mounting reference for multiple sets of support components 3. The support components 3 are equidistantly distributed along the vertical direction of the mounting frame 2, forming a multi-layer support structure. The lateral width and longitudinal height of each layer of support components 3 can be independently adjusted. This layered design is particularly suitable for scenarios where cartons of different heights are stacked together. Through the synergistic effect of multiple support points, the overall stability of the AGV during handling is significantly improved.

[0020] Preferably, each set of support frames 301 has an upper movable groove 303 that matches the extension plate 302, and each set of movable grooves 303 has symmetrical sliding grooves 304 on both side walls. The cross-sectional shape of the movable groove 303 on the upper part of the support frame 301 is precisely matched with the bottom contour of the extension plate 302, providing a guiding space for the horizontal sliding of the extension plate 302. At the same time, the groove wall limits the edge of the extension plate 302 to prevent it from tilting or detaching during sliding. The groove depth and width of the sliding groove 304 are designed according to the size of the sliding component to ensure that the sliding component can move smoothly in the groove, while limiting the vertical displacement of the extension plate 302, so that the sliding process remains stable. When it is necessary to support cartons of different widths, the extension plate 302 slides along the movable groove 303 under manual force. If the carton is wide, the extension plate 302 slides to both sides to increase the lateral span of the support assembly, so that the outer end of the support rod 307 can fit against the side wall of the carton; if the carton is narrow, the extension plate 302 retracts inward to avoid excessive expansion of the support structure and interference with surrounding equipment.

[0021] Furthermore, pulleys 305 are symmetrically installed on both sides of each set of extension plates 302, and each set of pulleys 305 is slidably installed inside the corresponding groove 304. The grooves 304 on both sides of the movable groove 303 and the pulleys 305 on both sides of the extension plate 302 form a sliding pair. The outer circumferential surface of the pulley 305 contacts the inner wall of the groove 304, converting the sliding friction of the extension plate 302 into rolling friction, reducing sliding resistance. The operator can manually push and pull the extension plate 302 to make the pulleys 305 roll in the groove 304, driving the extension plate 302 to slide horizontally along the movable groove 303. The cooperation between the pulleys 305 and the groove 304 not only improves the smoothness of adjustment, but also prevents the extension plate 302 from detaching from the support frame 301 through a limiting effect, ensuring structural reliability.

[0022] Furthermore, each set of extension plates 302 has several sets of slots 306 on its upper part, and the lower end of each set of support rods 307 is rotatably installed in the corresponding slot 306 via a pivot. The slots 306 on the upper part of the extension plates 302 extend horizontally, providing a rotation mounting point for the lower end of the support rods 307; the support rods 307 are connected to the slots 306 via pivots, the axis of which is perpendicular to the extension direction of the slots 306, allowing the support rods 307 to rotate around the pivot in a vertical plane, thereby adjusting the support angle. The length of the slots 306 determines the rotation range of the support rods 307, and in conjunction with the lateral sliding of the extension plates 302, multi-angle and multi-position support for the sides of the carton is achieved, further enhancing adaptability.

[0023] It is worth noting that two sets of torsion springs 311 are sleeved on the outside of each set of rotating connectors 310 on both sides of the folding rod 309. The two ends of each set of torsion springs 311 abut against the outer wall of the folding rod 309 and the inner wall of the groove 308, respectively. The rotating connector 310 passes through the hinge hole between the folding rod 309 and the groove 308. The helical part of the torsion spring 311 sleeved on its outside surrounds the rotating connector 310. When the folding rod 309 rotates downward and is stored in the groove 308, the torsion spring 311 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the external force is released, the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring 311 drives the folding rod 309 to rotate automatically upward until it is in a longitudinally collinear state with the support rod 307. The setting of the torsion spring 311 not only simplifies the operation process, but also ensures that the folding rod 309 maintains a stable unfolded state during transportation, avoids accidental folding caused by vibration and other factors, and improves the reliability of the support structure.

[0024] Specifically, each set of folding rods 309 has a locking block 312 installed on its side wall, and each set of support rods 307 has a matching locking groove 313 in the middle corresponding to the locking block 312. The locking block 312 on the side wall of the folding rod 309 and the locking groove 313 in the middle of the support rod 307 form a positioning structure. When the folding rod 309 needs to be stored, the operator needs to overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring 311 and rotate the folding rod 309 downward until it is fully embedded in the groove 308 of the support rod 307. At this time, the locking block 312 falls exactly into the limiting area of ​​the locking groove 313, forming a mechanical engagement.

[0025] More specifically, a limiting block 314 is rotatably installed in the middle of each set of slots 313. Each set of limiting blocks 314 can form a locking and limiting action with the card block 312 embedded in the slot 313. Several sets of springs 315 connected to the inner wall of the slot 313 are installed at the bottom of each set of limiting blocks 314. The limiting block 314 in the middle of the slot 313 is hinged to the inner wall of the slot 313 by a pivot and can rotate around the pivot to achieve a locking or unlocking state. One end of the spring 315 at the bottom of the limiting block 314 is fixed to the inner wall of the slot 313, and the other end is connected to the limiting block 314. The elastic force of the spring 315 drives the limiting block 314 to maintain an upward rotation tendency, so that it forms a locking and limiting action with the card block 312 embedded in the slot 313.
