AGV comb-type transfer robot
First Claim
1. An AGV comb-type transfer robot, comprising:
- a lifting frame, with comb teeth being mounted on the lifting frame;
a travelling frame, with a comb tooth lifting apparatus being mounted on the travelling frame, and a travelling drive mechanism and a central control system being mounted in the travelling frame;
wherein the comb tooth lifting apparatus comprises a lifting drive motor and a gear set in transmission connection with the lifting drive motor;
the travelling drive mechanism comprises a travelling drive motor and a travelling wheel set mounted in the travelling frame, and the travelling drive motor comprises a drive motor and a steering motor to realize omnidirectional travelling;
wherein the central control system is composed of a main controller and a travelling module, a transfer module, a guidance and orientation module, a safety module, a power supply and charging management module, a communication module and a human-computer interaction apparatus which are electrically connected with the main controller;
wherein;
the guidance and orientation module is used for guiding and orientating the travelling path of the transfer robot;
the safety module is used for preventing the transfer robot from being collided with surrounding objects during its travelling;
the communication module is used for conducting wireless communication between the transfer robot and outside; and
the human-computer interaction apparatus is used for setting the parameters of the transfer robot and displaying the operating state of the transfer robot;
wherein the travelling module comprises two drive motors, two steering motors, four servo drivers and four encoders;
the transfer module comprises a comb tooth lifting motor and a vehicle position centering motor;
wherein the guidance and orientation module is used for obtaining segment table parameters, point information and operation code information sent by an upper system, thereby realizing generation of the speed, determination of a destination point and output of a transfer operation code command;
wherein the main controller is used for completing an accurate estimation and calculation of positions by adopting a main position calculator and an auxiliary position calculator, wherein the main position calculator is used for calculating the theoretic position of the AGV in real time based on the previous position information, encoder information and kinematic model of a vehicle body;
the auxiliary position calculator is used for obtaining the real position based on information of a laser head/magnetic dot sensor of a navigation apparatus;
the main controller is further used for converting the speed information into electric signals and sending to a steering servo driver and a drive servo driver of the travelling module, and the servo drivers control the motor to complete travelling.
