AGV with clamping and holding mechanism and butt joint method thereof

Abstract

The invention provides an AGV with a clamping and holding mechanism and a butt joint method thereof. The AGV comprises an AGV body, a butt joint assembly and a clamping and holding mechanism; the buttjoint assembly is used for being in butt joint with a butt joint mechanism on a material vehicle, and is used for providing traction to the material vehicle; the clamping and holding mechanism is arranged on the AGV body; the clamping and holding mechanism comprises a telescopic component and two groups of clamping arm components; the telescopic component is arranged on the AGV body; the clampingarm components are arranged on the telescopic component; and when the AGV is in butt joint with the material vehicle, the two groups of clamping arm components extend out of the two sides of the material vehicle along with the telescopic component and are used for limiting the swinging amplitude of the material vehicle in the left-and-right direction. According to the AGV, the clamping and holding mechanism is additionally arranged on the AGV body, the left side and the right side of the material vehicle are clamped through the clamping arm components, the constraint is added to the left andright directions of the driving direction of the material vehicle, the material vehicle can be prevented from swinging left and right, and the running precision and the stopping precision of the material vehicle are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of AGV technology, and mainly relates to an AGV with a clamping mechanism and a docking method thereof. Background technique [0002] In the automatic production line workshop, the AGV with navigation function is usually used to transport materials. The specific operation is to dock the AGV with the material truck, and then drive the material truck to the designated place. However, the AGV has driving and stopping accuracy, and the AGV and the material When the car is docked, it is necessary to leave a docking allowance. Only relying on the docking mechanism for docking cannot form constraints on the left and right sides of the feeder truck. When the feeder truck follows the AGV, the feeder truck will swing within the constraint range, increasing the When the AGV stops, the attitude of the feeder is uncertain, and the stopping accuracy cannot be guaranteed, which increases the difficulty of docking the feeder with the...

[0002] In the automatic production line workshop, the AGV with navigation function is usually used to transport materials. The specific operation is to dock the AGV with the material truck, and then drive the material truck to the designated place. However, the AGV has driving and stopping accuracy, and the AGV and the material When the car is docked, it is necessary to leave a docking allowance. Only relying on the docking mechanism for docking cannot form constraints on the left and right sides of the feeder truck. When the feeder truck follows the AGV, the feeder truck will swing within the constraint range, increasing the When the AGV stops, the attitude of the feeder is uncertain, and the stopping accuracy cannot be guaranteed, which increases the difficulty of docking the feeder with the next station.
