[0015] In the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise stated, the same reference numerals represent the same or similar parts or elements throughout the several views. The accompanying drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings illustrate only some embodiments provided in accordance with the present disclosure and should not be considered as limiting the scope of the present disclosure. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0016] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a transport vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is a side cross-sectional view of a docking station of a transport vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017] A brief description of some illustrative embodiments follows. Those skilled in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the accompanying drawings and descriptions are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.
[0018] 1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a transport vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the transport vehicle includes a vehicle body 10.
[0019] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the vehicle body may be an automated guided vehicle (AGV), such as an inertial navigation AGV, a two-dimensional code navigation AGV, a laser navigation AGV, or a GPS navigation AGV. The vehicle body 10 moves to a designated receiving position according to a receiving command, and any vehicle capable of this can be used as the vehicle body in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The receiving position, also called a target docking position, is usually a position where the material to be transported is unloaded. In one example, the target docking position is a doffing position of a winding machine in a chemical fiber production device.
[0020] The rotation mechanism 20 includes an annular rail 21 provided vertically above the vehicle body 10, a crawler belt 22 provided along the end face of the annular rail 21, and a first drive means 40 connected to the crawler belt 22. Here, the crawler belt 22 can rotate along the annular rail 21 by being driven by the first drive means 40.
[0021] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the longitudinal direction of the rotation mechanism 20 is aligned with the longitudinal direction of the car body 10, and the rotation mechanism 20 approaches one edge of the car body 10 in the lateral direction, so that the rotation mechanism 20 approaches the direction of the target docking position when receiving the substance or material to be transported, and this direction is referred to as the docking direction. When receiving the substance or material, the longitudinal direction of the car body 10 and the rotation mechanism 20 is perpendicular to the direction of the winding package holding rod of the winding machine, i.e., the docking direction is aligned with the lateral direction of the car body, thereby reducing the size and occupied space of the car body in the docking direction.
[0022] The shape of the circular rail 21 in the rotation mechanism 20 may be a ring, such as a rounded rectangle, an oval with straight sides, or a circle. By arranging the circular rail 21 vertically, it is possible to fully utilize the vertical space, shorten the length of the transport vehicle, and, when multiple adjacent winding machines need to be doffed simultaneously, it is possible to reduce interference with the doffing positions of the other winding machines while the preceding transport vehicle is working.
[0023] In one example, the circular rail 21 has two layers, an inner layer and an outer layer, and the crawler belt 22 is sandwiched between the two layers of the circular rail 21. In another example, the crawler belt 22 is provided on the inner or outer periphery of the circular rail 21. The crawler belt 22 can slide on the circular rail 21 without being spaced apart. The crawler belt 22 is made up of multiple links (also called plates or chain links) connected to each other, and these links form a loop. Each link has a certain degree of curvature to fit the curved portion of the circular rail 21. These links may be made of metal, rubber, or other materials.
[0024] A plurality of receiving rods 50 are provided at intervals on the side of the rotation mechanism 20, and the receiving rods 50 include an inner rod 51 and an outer rod 53 fitted onto the inner rod 51, and the inner rod 51 is connected to the crawler belt 22.
[0025] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a plurality of receiving rods may be provided at equal intervals on the side of the rotating mechanism 20, specifically on the side in the docking direction. The inner rod 51 is fixedly connected to the crawler belt 22. The number of receiving rods 50 corresponds to the number of substances or materials to be received and transported at one time. For example, if the winding machine can produce 12 wound yarn packages simultaneously, i.e., if 12 wound yarn packages need to be transported at one time, the number of docking rods 50 is at least 12.
[0026] The docking assist mechanism 30 is provided on the side of the rotation mechanism 20 near the docking station 60, and includes a push means 31 and a positioning means 32 for determining the orientation of a target docking position. The push means 31 includes a push-pull rod 311 and a second driving means 312 connected to the rear end of the push-pull rod 311, and when the receiving rod 50 rotates to the docking station 60, the second driving means 312 drives the tip of the push-pull rod 311 so that the tip of the push-pull rod 311 pushes the outer rod 53, causing the outer rod 53 to move horizontally together, so that the outer rod 53 moves to the target docking position to receive the substance or material to be transported.
[0027] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the docking station 60 is a preparation area for docking the receiving rod 50 at the target docking position. Specifically, the docking station 60 is provided at the position where the docking assist mechanism 30 is located. By driving the rotation mechanism 20, any receiving rod 50 reaches the position where the docking assist mechanism 30 is located, and then, with the cooperation of the docking assist mechanism 30, the receiving rod 50 is docked at the target docking position. The pushing means 31 drives the outer rod 53 to move back and forth in the docking direction described above. The positioning means 32 may be an optical means for determining the orientation of the target docking position, and a marker that facilitates optical positioning may be provided at the target docking position.
[0028] The control mechanism is electrically connected to the vehicle body 10 and the positioning means 32, respectively, for controlling the movement of the vehicle body 10 and adjusting the position of the vehicle body 10 according to the orientation of the target docking position determined by the positioning means 32 so that the docking station 60 is aligned with the target docking position.
[0029] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the car body 10 moves near the target winding machine, the control mechanism determines the orientation information of the target docking position by the positioning means 32, then generates and sends a position adjustment command to the car body 10, and the car body 10 further adjusts its own position to align the docking station 60 with the target docking position.
[0030] According to the solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the transport vehicle for receiving the wound yarn package is changed from one that receives one rod's worth of wound yarn package in the longitudinal direction of the wound yarn package holding rod of the winding machine to one that receives wound yarn packages one by one in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the horizontal dimension of the transport vehicle that receives the wound yarn package and reducing the space occupied by the transport vehicle in the work aisle for receiving the wound yarn package. At the same time, by using a rotation mechanism to circulate the receiving rod in the vertical direction, the vertical dimension of the transport vehicle is also reduced, significantly reducing the overall dimension of the transport vehicle and making it more flexible to move within a limited space.
[0031] In one embodiment, a boss 52 is provided at the rear end of the outer rod 53, and when the receiving rod 50 rotates to the docking station 60, the boss 52 moves to the tip of the push-pull rod 311, and the second driving means 312 drives the tip of the push-pull rod 311 so that the tip of the push-pull rod 311 protrudes horizontally relative to the position of the boss 52 and pushes and moves the boss 52, thereby realizing horizontal movement of the outer rod 53.
[0032] Please note that the terms "leading edge," "rear edge," and "front side" (described later) are described based on the docking direction. When docking, the direction toward the target docking position is the leading edge, and the opposite direction is the rear edge.
[0033] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the boss 52 is used to cooperate with the push-pull rod 311 to obtain the driving force of the second driving means 312. To detect whether the boss 52 has reached the docking station 50, the docking station 50 may be provided with a magnetic switch, an optical switch, a limit switch, etc.
[0034] In one embodiment, the outer rod 53 has a plurality of expansion pieces 531 each having an arc-shaped cross section, the rear ends of the expansion pieces 531 are connected to each other and the front ends are spaced apart, and the rear ends of the expansion pieces 531 are connected to the boss 52, and when the outer rod 53 and the inner rod 51 are in a first state, the front ends of the plurality of expansion pieces 531 contract and approach each other. When the outer rod 53 and the inner rod 51 are in a second state, the front ends of the plurality of expansion pieces 531 are spaced apart, thereby increasing the diameter of the outer rod 53.
[0035] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after the outer rod 53 acquires the substance or material (wound yarn package) to be transported, the wound yarn package is disk-shaped with a circular hole in the center, and the diameter of the tip of the outer rod may be increased to prevent the wound yarn package from slipping off when the circular hole of the wound yarn package is fitted onto the outer rod 53. Specifically, when the outer rod is extended to dock (first state), the diameter of the tip of the outer rod is made smaller than the diameter of the circular hole of the wound yarn package, and when the outer rod is retracted (second state), the diameter of the tip of the outer rod is made larger than the diameter of the circular hole of the wound yarn package, thereby restraining the wound yarn package to the receiving rod 50.
[0036] 2, the tip of the inner rod 51 has a conical portion 511, which is slidably disposed inside the outer rod 53, and the diameter of the conical portion 511 gradually increases from the tip to the rear end. The thickness of the expansion piece 531 gradually decreases from the tip to the rear end so that the inner diameter of the outer rod 53 at the tip is smaller than the inner diameter at the rear end. When the rear end of the outer rod 53 slides over the conical portion 511 of the inner rod 51, the outer rod 53 and the inner rod 51 are in a first state. When the tip of the outer rod 53 slides over the conical portion 511 of the inner rod 51, the outer rod 53 and the inner rod 51 are in a second state.
[0037] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the expansion piece of the outer rod and the conical portion of the inner rod cooperate to open and close the expansion piece, thereby changing the diameter of the tip of the outer rod, so that after the receiving rod acquires the wound yarn package, the wound yarn package can be fixed to the receiving rod.
[0038] In one embodiment, the push means 31 further has a push-pull groove 313 provided at the tip of the push-pull bar 311, and the push-pull groove 313 is provided parallel to the movement direction of the receiving rod 50 in the docking station 60, so that when the receiving rod 50 moves to the docking station 60, the lower part of the boss 52 of the receiving rod 50 is positioned in the push-pull groove 313.
[0039] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the lower part of the boss 52 is disposed within the push-pull groove 313, which allows the push-pull rod to drive the boss and the outer rod more stably. In one example, the direction of the groove body of the push-pull groove 313 is parallel to the direction of movement of the crawler belt in the docking station. A limit block 314 may be provided in the push-pull groove downstream of the direction of movement of the crawler belt. The limit block 314 is provided at the front or rear of the inner surface of the push-pull groove 313, with an opening between the limit block and the opposite side of the push-pull groove 313 that is larger than the width of the boss 52. Because the receiving rod 50 moves along a circular rail on a fixed track, changing the front-to-rear position of the push-pull groove 313 allows the limit block 314 to be positioned or not positioned on the movement path of the boss, thereby blocking or releasing the receiving rod 50 and maintaining the receiving rod 50 in a fixed position in the docking station 60, facilitating accurate docking.
[0040] In one embodiment, the docking assist mechanism 30 includes a first housing 33 arranged between the vehicle body 10 and the rotation mechanism 20, and a pushing means 31 and a positioning means 32 are arranged inside the first housing 33.
[0041] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first housing 33 houses the pushing means and the positioning means, and also functions as a support member for the rotation mechanism.
[0042] In one embodiment, an attachment groove is provided on the side of the first housing 33 near the tip of the outer rod 53, the positioning means 32 is arranged on a first inclined surface of the attachment groove, the first inclined surface is provided toward the tip of the outer rod 53, and the positioning means 32 is equipped with a camera.
[0043] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first inclined surface faces the tip of the outer rod 53, and therefore the attached camera also faces the tip of the outer rod 53, providing an angle and field of view that is easier to observe when photographing and recognizing the target docking position.
[0044] In one embodiment, a first connecting pillar is provided on the inner periphery of the circular rail 21, and the first connecting pillar is connected to the car body 10 via a second connecting pillar.
[0045] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first connecting pillar is used to reinforce the structural strength of the upper and lower sections of the circular rail, and the second connecting pillar is used to enhance the vertical stability of the entire rotating mechanism.
[0046] In one example, one set of rotation mechanisms 20, docking assist mechanisms 30, first drive means 40, and multiple receiving lots 50 is provided on each side of the vehicle body 10 in the short direction, thereby making it possible to use both the left and right sides of the vehicle body 10 for receiving, doubling the receiving capacity of the transport vehicle. The two sets of rotation mechanisms 20 may be connected using a connecting column.
[0047] In one embodiment, the first driving means 40 is provided in a second housing between the vehicle body 10 and the rotation mechanism 20 .
[0048] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second housing accommodates the first driving means 40 and also functions as a support member for the rotation mechanism 20. An opening is formed at the location where the circular rail 21 and the second housing are connected, allowing the crawler belt 22 and the first driving means 40 to be connected.
[0049] In one embodiment, the control mechanism may be provided inside the first housing 33, and the control mechanism may be electrically connected to the first driving means 40 and the second driving means 312.
