Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle platform docking technology, and in particular to a novel platform docking structure and unloading system, and an AGV vehicle unloading system. Background Technology

[0002] A loading platform, also known as a shunting platform, is a loading / unloading device installed at the loading / unloading port of a building or container terminal. It is designed to be raised and lowered to accommodate the floor of vehicles of varying heights. During unloading, vehicles may unexpectedly shift due to vibrations or road inclines, causing gaps or misalignments between the platform and the vehicle floor. These gaps not only affect loading / unloading efficiency but also pose a serious safety threat to personnel and equipment. Furthermore, most existing vehicle collision protection structures are designed for collisions during vehicle movement, with insufficient horizontal length at the impact points, making them ineffective for collision protection during unloading at the platform.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0015] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0016] This utility model embodiment provides a novel platform docking structure and unloading system, and an AGV vehicle unloading system. The novel platform docking structure includes: The retractable anti-collision beam 21 is located at the unloading end of the vehicle 20 and is used to extend the anti-collision end to one side of the platform 10 during unloading. The connecting device 30 is connected to the platform 10 and is used to dock with the vehicle 20 during unloading.

[0017] In specific implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the new platform docking structure includes: The retractable anti-collision beam 21 is located at the unloading end of the vehicle 20 and is used to extend the anti-collision end to the platform 10 side during unloading. The retractable anti-collision beam 21 can adopt the existing retractable anti-collision structure, which will not be described in detail here. Through the retractable anti-collision structure, the anti-collision end is extended during the docking process of the platform 10, which makes up for the problem of insufficient horizontal length of the anti-collision end in the existing anti-collision structure during the docking process, thereby effectively protecting the platform from collision. The connecting device 30 is connected to the platform 10. The connecting device 30 is located above the retractable anti-collision beam 21 and is used to dock with the vehicle 20 during unloading. The connecting device 30 includes, but is not limited to, fixed connection structures such as truck saddles and twist locks.

[0018] When unloading is required, the anti-collision end of the retractable anti-collision beam 21 is extended, and then the vehicle 20 continues to move toward the platform 10 and is connected to the platform 10 and the vehicle 20 through the connecting device 30, and the vehicle 20 stops moving; the connecting device 30 can be manually connected or automatically aligned and connected by setting a vision alignment system, etc. After unloading is completed, the connecting device 30 releases the connection between the platform 10 and the vehicle 20, and retracts the retractable anti-collision beam 21 (confirm the retraction length as needed). The vehicle 20 then drives out of the unloading area, completing the unloading process.

[0019] In the above embodiments, the retractable anti-collision beam 21 and the connecting device 30 can achieve their operation process through manual operation or automation. For manual operation, the operator completes the corresponding actions by operating the controllers or control buttons connected to the retractable anti-collision beam 21 and the connecting device 30 respectively. When automated, such as when applied to an unmanned vehicle, the corresponding actions are completed according to the set program by the unmanned vehicle's built-in sensing system (such as a photoelectric sensing system, a visual alignment system, etc.) and control system. Controlling the device through controllers or control buttons, and the unmanned vehicle achieving related actions according to the set program through its built-in sensing system and control system, are both common technical means in the art and will not be elaborated further here.
