AGV and manipulator communication system and communication method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to an AGV and manipulator communication system. The system comprises AGV, a manipulator, a sidewall equipment control subsystem, a first information trigger and a second information trigger; the first information trigger and the second information trigger are sequentially arranged along the direction of the AGV driving to the working area of the manipulator, the AGV can sequentially read the first information trigger and the second information trigger, the system also comprises a multifunctional communication control box, the AGV is in wireless communication with the multifunctional communication control box, the multifunctional communication control box is in electric connection with the sidewall equipment control subsystem, whether the AGV is in a key position or not is determined through the wireless communication between the multifunctional communication control box and the sidewall equipment control subsystem, and the communication of the subsystem is controlled through the multifunctional communication control box and the sidewall equipment control subsystem in order to realize indirect communication between the AGV and the sidewall equipment control subsystem. The above technical scheme greatly reduces the wiring quantity of a loading and unloading area and the manipulator in order to greatly reduce the later maintenance difficulty.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the application field of AGVs, in particular to a communication system and a communication method between an AGV and a manipulator. Background technique [0002] With the development of industrial automation, AGV is more and more widely used in factories. From automobile factories to electronics factories, to sanitary ware factories, etc., more and more industries are applied, and the span is getting wider and wider. AGV has become an organic part of the factory logistics distribution system. As a carrier for carrying materials, AGV must dock with the manipulator that loads and unloads materials. At present, the docking action of AGV and manipulator needs to judge the next action based on the mutual position. Therefore, a large number of photoelectric sensors for detecting the position of the AGV need to be installed on the loading and unloading area and the AGV. Due to too many photoelectric sensors, the wiring between the l...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, a large number of photoelectric sensors for detecting the position of the AGV need to be installed on the loading and unloading area and the AGV. Due to too many photoelectric sensors, the wiring between the loading and unloading area and the manipulator is very cumbersome, resulting in a long construction period and docking problems. Time investigation is very troublesome
