Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of positioning technology for transport vehicles, and more specifically, to a positioning mechanism and freight equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In automated logistics systems, Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are widely used for handling and transporting materials. To achieve precise docking and reliable connection between the AGV and its accompanying racking vehicle, a shaft-hole fit is typically used, allowing the AGV to drive the racking vehicle synchronously.

[0003] In existing technologies, when the shaft on the AGV is fixed, it cannot automatically cooperate with the rack vehicle, which makes the process of connecting and disconnecting the AGV and the rack vehicle complicated and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a positioning mechanism and freight equipment to solve the problem of inconvenient connection and disconnection between AGV trolleys and shelf vehicles in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a positioning mechanism is provided for positioning a guide transport vehicle. The guide transport vehicle is provided with a mating component. The positioning mechanism includes: a mounting body having a first clearance opening; a baffle disposed on the mounting body, the baffle having a blocking position and a clearance position, the baffle being rotatably disposed between the blocking position and the clearance position; at least a portion of the baffle being located within the first clearance opening to form a limiting space with the mounting body for limiting the mating component, so that the baffle is in the blocking position, and the transport vehicle is positioned by the mating component; at least a portion of the baffle rotating to above the first clearance opening to clearance the mating component, so that the baffle is in the clearance position, and the mating component disengages from the positioning mechanism through the first clearance opening.

[0006] Furthermore, the mounting body includes: a first mounting body; a second mounting body and a third mounting body, the second mounting body and the third mounting body being respectively connected to both ends of the first mounting body, the first mounting body extending along a first direction, the second mounting body and the third mounting body extending along a second direction, the first direction and the second direction being set at an angle, a first clearance opening being set between the second mounting body, the first mounting body and the third mounting body, and a baffle being rotatably connected to the second mounting body and the third mounting body.

[0007] Furthermore, the first clearance opening includes a recessed groove, which is disposed on the first mounting body; the limiting space is located between the recessed groove and the baffle.

[0008] Furthermore, a second clearance opening is provided on the baffle, which is connected to the first clearance opening, so that when the baffle is in the clearance position, the mating parts can be cleared through the first clearance opening and the second clearance opening.

[0009] Furthermore, the baffle includes: a first plate and a second plate connected to each other, the second plate being located above the first plate, the first plate being rotated into the first clearance opening so that the baffle is in a blocking position, the limiting space being located between the first plate and the mounting body, and the second clearance opening being located on the second plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism also includes: a blocking member disposed on the mounting body, the blocking member extending from the mounting body in a direction away from the mounting body, at least a portion of the blocking member being located above the first clearance opening, and at least a portion of the second plate rotating to fit against the blocking member so that the baffle is in the blocking position.

[0011] Furthermore, the first plate and the second plate extend horizontally, and the baffle also includes a third plate, the two ends of which are connected to the first plate and the second plate respectively. The third plate is set at an angle to the first plate and the second plate, so that when the baffle is in the blocking position, the first plate is located below the second plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism also includes a counterweight component, which is disposed on the third plate, so that during the rotation of the baffle, under the force of the counterweight component, the baffle rotates toward the blocking position or keeps the baffle in the avoidance position.

[0013] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism also includes: a support base, which is mounted on the mounting body, and the baffle is rotatably connected to the support base via a rotating shaft; and an operating component, which is mounted on the baffle, and the baffle is rotated by operating the operating component.

[0014] According to another aspect of the present invention, a freight transport device is provided, which is equipped with a positioning mechanism. The freight transport device is connected to or disconnected from a guide transport vehicle through the positioning mechanism, which is the aforementioned positioning mechanism.

[0015] According to the technical solution of this utility model, the positioning mechanism includes an installation body and a baffle. The installation body is provided with a first clearance opening. The baffle is disposed on the installation body and has a blocking position and a clearance position. The baffle is rotatably disposed between the blocking position and the clearance position. At least a portion of the baffle is located within the first clearance opening to form a limiting space with the installation body for limiting the mating parts, so that the baffle is in the blocking position and the transport vehicle is positioned by the mating parts. At least a portion of the baffle rotates to above the first clearance opening to avoid the mating parts, so that the baffle is in the clearance position and the mating parts disengage from the positioning mechanism through the first clearance opening.

[0016] The rotatable design of the baffle between the blocking and clearance positions enables rapid docking and separation between the guide transport vehicle and the positioning mechanism. When positioning is required, the baffle is in the blocking position, forming a limiting space with the installation body to ensure accurate positioning of the mating parts on the guide transport vehicle. When separation is required, the baffle rotates to the clearance position, allowing the mating parts to easily exit the positioning mechanism through the first clearance opening without additional disassembly steps, greatly improving operational efficiency.

[0017] The use of mechanical structures for automatic positioning and obstacle avoidance reduces the need for human intervention. In particular, when the transport vehicle needs to separate from the guide transport vehicle to perform other tasks (such as charging), automatic separation can be achieved simply by operating the baffle, reducing the complexity and intensity of manual operation and avoiding the possibility of human error.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] As mentioned in the background section, existing freight trolleys typically require the use of guided vehicles (AGVs) for transport. The AGV moves the freight trolley, and in most existing technologies, a positioning shaft is installed on the AGV and inserted into a positioning hole on the freight trolley to connect them. However, because the positioning shaft is fixed, manual operation is required to connect the freight trolley and the AGV; the AGV cannot automatically coordinate with the freight trolley. This makes the connection and disconnection process between the AGV and the freight trolley complex and inconvenient. Therefore, to address the aforementioned technical problems, the positioning structure provided in this application is used to position a guide transport vehicle. The positioning mechanism includes an installation body 100 and a baffle 200. The installation body 100 is provided with a first clearance opening 101 for avoiding the movement of the guide transport vehicle. The guide transport vehicle moves into the limiting space 102 through the first clearance opening 101, or disengages from the positioning mechanism through the first clearance opening 101. Specifically, the baffle 200 is rotatably mounted on the installation body 100. When the baffle 200 is in the blocking position, the baffle 200 rotates into the first clearance opening 101, forming a limiting space 102 between itself and the installation body 100. 02. During the process of guiding the transport vehicle through the first clearance opening 101, the mating component abuts against the bottom surface of the baffle 200. At this time, the mating component pushes the baffle 200 upward. After the mating component moves into the limiting space 102, it disengages from the baffle 200. At this time, the baffle 200 falls back to its initial blocking position under the action of gravity. This limits the mating component. Under the blocking action of the mounting body 100 and the baffle 200, the mating component positions the transport vehicle. When it is necessary for the transport vehicle to disengage, the baffle 200 is rotated to the clearance position. At this time, the baffle 200 loses its blocking effect on the mating component, allowing the transport vehicle to smoothly disengage from the positioning mechanism. This eliminates the need for complex connection structures and operating procedures, enabling convenient positioning or separation between the transport vehicle and the positioning mechanism.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This application provides a positioning mechanism for positioning a guide transport vehicle. The guide transport vehicle is equipped with a mating component. The positioning mechanism includes: an installation body 100 with a first clearance opening 101; a baffle 200 disposed on the installation body 100, the baffle 200 having a blocking position and a clearance position, and the baffle 200 being rotatably disposed between the blocking position and the clearance position; at least a portion of the baffle 200 is located within the first clearance opening 101 to form a limiting space 102 between the baffle 200 and the installation body 100 for limiting the mating component, so that the baffle 200 is in the blocking position, and the transport vehicle is positioned by the mating component; at least a portion of the baffle 200 rotates to above the first clearance opening 101 to clearance the mating component, so that the baffle 200 is in the clearance position, and the mating component disengages from the positioning mechanism through the first clearance opening 101.

[0029] According to the positioning mechanism provided in this application, a guide transport vehicle is positioned. The guide transport vehicle is equipped with a mating component. The positioning mechanism includes an installation body 100 and a baffle 200. The installation body 100 is provided with a first clearance opening 101. The baffle 200 is disposed on the installation body 100 and has a blocking position and a clearance position. The baffle 200 is rotatably disposed between the blocking position and the clearance position. At least a portion of the baffle 200 is located within the first clearance opening 101 to form a limiting space 102 between the baffle 200 and the installation body 100 for limiting the mating component, so that the baffle 200 is in the blocking position, and the transport vehicle is positioned by the mating component. At least a portion of the baffle 200 rotates to be above the first clearance opening 101 to clearance the mating component, so that the baffle 200 is in the clearance position, and the mating component disengages from the positioning mechanism through the first clearance opening 101.

[0030] The rotatable design of the baffle 200 between the blocking position and the avoidance position enables rapid docking and separation between the guide transport vehicle and the positioning mechanism. When positioning is required, the baffle is in the blocking position, forming a limiting space 102 together with the installation body 100, ensuring accurate positioning of the mating parts on the guide transport vehicle; when separation is required, the baffle rotates to the avoidance position, and the mating parts can be easily removed from the positioning mechanism through the first avoidance opening 101 without additional disassembly steps, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0031] The use of mechanical structures for automatic positioning and obstacle avoidance reduces the need for manual intervention. In particular, when the transport vehicle needs to separate from the guide transport vehicle to perform other tasks (such as charging), automatic separation can be achieved simply by operating the baffle 200, reducing the complexity and intensity of manual operation and avoiding the possibility of human error.

[0032] Specifically, the mounting body 100 includes: a first mounting body 110; a second mounting body 120 and a third mounting body 130, the second mounting body 120 and the third mounting body 130 being connected to the two ends of the first mounting body 110 respectively; the first mounting body 110 extending along a first direction; the second mounting body 120 and the third mounting body 130 extending along a second direction respectively; the first direction and the second direction being set at an angle; a first clearance opening 101 being provided between the second mounting body 120, the first mounting body 110 and the third mounting body 130; and a baffle 200 being rotatably connected to the second mounting body 120 and the third mounting body 130.

[0033] Since the first mounting body 110 extends along the first direction, while the second mounting body 120 and the third mounting body 130 extend along the second direction at an angle to it, this non-linear arrangement can better adapt to different environmental requirements. The angular connection between the mounting bodies not only increases the physical strength of the entire component, but also improves its stability. While facilitating the installation of the baffle 200, it automatically forms the first clearance opening 101. The structure is simple and highly practical.

[0034] The first clearance opening 101 includes a recessed groove 103, which is disposed on the first mounting body 110; the limiting space 102 is located between the recessed groove 103 and the baffle 200.

[0035] After the mating part is inserted and passes through the first clearance opening 101, the baffle 200 returns to the initial blocking position due to its own weight, automatically closing the recessed groove 103 to form a shaft hole (i.e., the limiting space 102), forming a stable connection with the mating part. No additional locking steps are required, which improves operating efficiency and safety.

[0036] The first mounting body 110 has a mating end face facing the first clearance opening 101. The mating end face is inclined towards the interior of the first mounting body 110. There are two mating end faces 111, which are set at an angle to each other. The recessed groove 103 is located between the two mating end faces. At least a portion of the baffle 200 is located between the two mating end faces, forming a limiting space 102 with the recessed groove 103.

[0037] The inclined design of the end face 111 provides initial guidance for mating parts (such as trolley axles) on the transport vehicle, and can accurately guide the mating parts into the limiting space 102 even when approaching or aligning quickly, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of positioning.

[0038] The included angle between the two mating end faces 111, plus the baffle 200 which is at least partially embedded therein, together with the recessed groove 103, forms a limiting space 102, which can provide stable support for the trolley axle, prevent it from shifting due to vibration or external force during transportation, and improve the stability of the entire system in dynamic environments.

[0039] By providing a recessed groove 103 between the mating end faces 111 and using a baffle 200 to cooperate with it, the internal space of the first mounting body 110 can be effectively utilized to construct a compact and efficient limiting structure.

[0040] This design simplifies the connection process between the trolley and the guide transport vehicle. Operators or automated systems do not need to perform complex alignment operations. They only need to push the trolley axle into the first clearance opening 101 to automatically complete the positioning and locking, which improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0041] In the specific implementation process, the baffle 200 is provided with a second clearance opening 201, which is connected to the first clearance opening 101, so that when the baffle 200 is in the clearance position, the mating parts can be cleared through the first clearance opening 101 and the second clearance opening 201.

[0042] When the baffle 200 is in the avoidance position, the first avoidance opening 101 and the second avoidance opening 201 form a continuous avoidance path, which allows the trolley axle of the guide transport vehicle to be inserted into or removed from the axle hole of the trolley more smoothly without the need for additional alignment or adjustment process, greatly improving the connection and separation efficiency between the guide transport vehicle and the trolley.

[0043] The interconnected clearance opening design ensures accurate coordination between the guide vehicle and the trolley, avoiding accidental collisions or damage caused by inaccurate alignment and improving the operational safety of the entire system.

[0044] This design allows the device to adapt to different trolley axle sizes and shapes. As long as the axle can pass through the first clearance opening 101, it can also pass through the second clearance opening 201, enhancing the device's versatility and adaptability.

[0045] In this application, as Figure 1 As shown, the baffle 200 includes: a first plate 210 and a second plate 220 connected to each other. The second plate 220 is located above the first plate 210. The first plate 210 rotates into the first clearance opening 101 so that the baffle 200 is in the blocking position. The limiting space 102 is located between the first plate 210 and the mounting body 100. The second clearance opening 201 is located on the second plate 220.

[0046] When the first plate 210 rotates into the first clearance opening 101, it can form a precise and stable limiting space 102 together with the installation body 100, ensuring that the mating parts on the guide transport vehicle are accurately positioned in the preset position.

[0047] When the baffle 200 needs to change from the blocking position to the avoidance position, the flipping action of the first plate 210 changes the entire baffle structure from a closed state to an open state. The existence of the second avoidance opening 201 further optimizes the avoidance path, ensuring that the guide transport vehicle axle can pass through the first avoidance opening 101 smoothly and quickly, disengage from the baffle 200, and realize the free movement of the vehicle or the rescheduling of the guide transport vehicle.

[0048] Furthermore, in order to limit the position of the baffle 200, the positioning mechanism also includes: a blocking member 300 disposed on the mounting body 100, the blocking member 300 extending from the mounting body 100 in a direction away from the mounting body 100, at least a portion of the blocking member 300 being located above the first clearance opening 101, and at least a portion of the second plate 220 rotating to fit against the blocking member 300, so that the baffle 200 is in the blocking position.

[0049] The positioning of the blocking component 300 ensures that at least a portion of the second plate 220 can fit tightly against the blocking component 300 when the baffle 200 is in the blocking position. This not only forms a more stable closed structure, but also precisely defines the position of the baffle, preventing the baffle from shifting due to vibration or external force during transportation, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection between the guide vehicle and the trolley.

[0050] The design of the blocking component 300 simplifies the connection and separation process between the guide transport vehicle and the trolley. In the connected state, the blocking component 300 naturally fits against the second plate 220 without the need for additional manual operation to fix the baffle; and in the separation state, it is only necessary to operate the baffle to detach it from the blocking component, reducing the difficulty of operation and saving time.

[0051] The first plate 210 and the second plate 220 extend horizontally, and the baffle 200 also includes a third plate 230. The two ends of the third plate 230 are connected to the first plate 210 and the second plate 220, respectively. The third plate 230 is set at an angle to the first plate 210 and the second plate 220, so that when the baffle 200 is in the blocking position, the first plate 210 is located below the second plate 220.

[0052] The presence of the third plate 230 and the angle between it and the first and second plates allow the first plate 210 to be positioned below the second plate 220 when the baffle 200 is in the blocking position. This spatial layout effectively optimizes the vertical space occupied by the positioning mechanism, making the entire device more compact.

[0053] When the baffle 200 is in the blocking position, the first plate 210 is lower than the second plate 220, providing a more direct passage for guiding the trolley axle of the transport vehicle and reducing interference during operation.

[0054] The positioning mechanism also includes a counterweight component 400, which is disposed on the third plate 230, so that during the rotation of the baffle 200, under the force of the counterweight component 400, the baffle 200 rotates toward the blocking position or keeps the baffle 200 in the avoidance position.

[0055] The counterweight component 400 is mounted on the third plate 230. When the mating component pushes the baffle 200 to the clearance position through the first clearance opening 101, the gravity of the counterweight component 400 causes the baffle 200 to tend to return to the blocking position. This means that during the process of guiding the transport vehicle toward the positioning mechanism, the baffle 200 can automatically return to its initial closed state without external force, providing a self-resetting function, realizing the positioning of the mating component, and reducing manual operation.

[0056] The counterweight component 400 helps to keep the baffle 200 stable when it is in the avoidance position, avoiding abnormal operation of the guide vehicle that may be caused by sudden changes in the baffle, and enhancing the safety of the entire system.

[0057] Furthermore, by placing the counterweight component 400 on the third plate 230 instead of the first plate 210, and by setting the third plate 230 at an angle, the lifting force of the mating component on the first plate 210 can be reduced, making it easier for the guide transport vehicle to lift the first plate 210 and insert it into the limiting space 102 during the movement towards the positioning mechanism. At the same time, the counterweight component 400 can keep the baffle 200 in the blocking position.

[0058] In the embodiments provided in this application, the positioning mechanism further includes: a support base 500, which is disposed on the mounting body 100, and a baffle 200 is rotatably connected to the support base 500 via a rotating shaft 510; and an operating component 600, which is disposed on the baffle 200, and the baffle 200 is rotated by operating the operating component 600.

[0059] The baffle 200 is securely connected to the mounting body 100 by the support base 500, and the baffle 200 can rotate freely around the rotation shaft 510. This design ensures that the baffle remains stable in any position without shaking or shifting, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and the working stability of the entire mechanism.

[0060] The operating component 600 is configured to allow the operator or automation system to precisely control the rotation of the baffle 200, enabling it to switch quickly and accurately between blocking and yielding positions.

[0061] The design of the operating component 600 (such as the release handle) allows the operator to flip the baffle without needing to access the internal structure of the positioning mechanism. This is achieved through simple external operation, greatly simplifying the operation process and reducing operational difficulty and potential error rates. Other mechanisms can be used instead, such as an electric tilting mechanism, which would require the trolley to have a power supply and drive mechanism to achieve the same effect.

[0062] This application also provides a freight equipment, which is equipped with a positioning mechanism. The freight equipment is connected to or disconnected from the guide transport vehicle through the positioning mechanism, which is the positioning mechanism described in the above embodiment.

[0063] The positioning structure provided in this application includes an installation body 100 and a baffle 200. The installation body 100 is provided with a first clearance opening 101 for guiding the movement of the transport vehicle. The transport vehicle can move into the limiting space 102 through the first clearance opening 101 or detach from the freight trolley through the first clearance opening 101.

[0064] Specifically, the baffle 200 is rotatably mounted on the mounting body 100. When the baffle 200 is in the blocking position, it rotates into the first clearance opening 101, forming a limiting space 102 with the mounting body 100. During the process of guiding the transport vehicle through the first clearance opening 101, the mating part abuts against the bottom surface of the baffle 200. At this time, the mating part pushes the baffle 200 upward. When the mating part moves into the limiting space 102, it disengages from the baffle 200. At this time, the baffle 200 falls back to the initial blocking position under the action of gravity, thus limiting the mating part. Under the blocking action of the mounting body 100 and the baffle 200, the mating part can drive the freight trolley to move. When the freight trolley disengages from the guided transport vehicle, the baffle 200 is rotated to the clearance position. At this time, the baffle 200 loses its blocking effect on the mating part, allowing the guided transport vehicle to smoothly disengage from the freight trolley. This eliminates the need for complex connection structures and operating procedures, making it easy to position or separate the guide transport vehicle and the freight trolley.

[0065] Under normal circumstances, due to the counterweight component 400, the shaft hole in the diagram is closed. When the trolley enters the positioning component, the mating part of the guide transport vehicle will push open the baffle 200 and enter the limiting space 102. Then, under the action of the counterweight component 400, the shaft hole closes again. At this time, whether the guide transport vehicle moves forward or backward, the trolley will move in sync with the guide transport vehicle. When it is necessary for the guide transport vehicle and the trolley to separate, the manual handle of the release pin needs to be held to rotate the baffle 200, and the limiting space 102 becomes half open. At this time, the guide transport vehicle moves backward and exits through the first clearance opening 101 and the second clearance opening 201. At this time, the guide transport vehicle and the trolley can be separated.

[0066] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0067] According to the positioning mechanism provided in this application, a guide transport vehicle is positioned. The guide transport vehicle is equipped with a mating component. The positioning mechanism includes: a mounting body 100 and a baffle 200. The mounting body 100 is provided with a first clearance opening 101. The baffle 200 is disposed on the mounting body 100 and has a blocking position and a clearance position. The baffle 200 is rotatably disposed between the blocking position and the clearance position. At least a portion of the baffle 200 is located within the first clearance opening 101 to form a limiting space 102 between the baffle 200 and the mounting body 100 for limiting the mating component, so that the baffle 200 is in the blocking position, and the transport vehicle is positioned by the mating component. At least a portion of the baffle 200 rotates to be above the first clearance opening 101 to clearance the mating component, so that the baffle 200 is in the clearance position, and the mating component disengages from the positioning mechanism through the first clearance opening 101.

[0068] The rotatable design of the baffle 200 between the blocking position and the avoidance position enables rapid docking and separation between the guide transport vehicle and the positioning mechanism. When positioning is required, the baffle is in the blocking position, forming a limiting space 102 together with the installation body 100, ensuring accurate positioning of the mating parts on the guide transport vehicle; when separation is required, the baffle rotates to the avoidance position, and the mating parts can be easily removed from the positioning mechanism through the first avoidance opening 101 without additional disassembly steps, greatly improving work efficiency.

[0069] The use of mechanical structures for automatic positioning and obstacle avoidance reduces the need for manual intervention. In particular, when the transport vehicle needs to separate from the guide transport vehicle to perform other tasks (such as charging), automatic separation can be achieved simply by operating the baffle 200, reducing the complexity and intensity of manual operation and avoiding the possibility of human error.
