Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of automated guided vehicles, more particularly, to a kind of electricity of the automated guided vehicle of battery type
Replace system in source.
Background technology
AGV is referred to magnetically or optically waiting homing guidances device equipped with electricity, can be travelled, have along defined guide path
The transport vehicle of safeguard protection and various transfer functions is not required to the carrier of driver in commercial Application, with chargeable electric power storage
Pond is its power resources.Generally its travelling route and behavior can be controlled by computer, or utilize electromagnetic path
(electromagnetic path-following system) sets up its travelling route, and electromagnetic path is pasted on floor,
Automatic guided vehicle then relies on message caused by electromagnetic path to be moved and acted.
Problem of the existing technology is:AGV transport vehicles replace battery and need manual operations, reduce it and automate journey
Degree, needs to spend and is largely manually monitored battery usage amount, carries out the replacement of battery.
Invention content
The present invention is mainly that the replacement battery solved present in the prior art needs manual operations, reduces it and automates journey
Degree needs to spend a large amount of the technical issues of being manually monitored battery usage amount, carrying out the replacement of battery, and providing one kind can be certainly
Dynamic monitoring, the battery for replacing AGV, and AGV power supplys automatic-exchanging system and its control method easy to use, easy to operate.
The above-mentioned technical problem of the present invention is mainly to be addressed by following technical proposals:A kind of AGV power supplys are automatic
Replacement system, it is characterised in that it is by control centre, power supply fetching device, roller conveyor structure and charge position, the roller
The roller-way of road conveying mechanism picks and places area, transition region, charging zone and power storage area sequence by power supply and constitutes cyclic structure, described
Power supply pick and place at area be equipped with one or several described in power supply fetching device, the power supply fetching device by rack, pick and place
Drive band and lifting supporting plate and homing guidance device corresponding with AGV trolleies to constitute, if the charging zone set there are one or
The dry charge position is equipped with charging driving band between charge position and charging zone.Power supply fetching device may be implemented to AGV's
Battery is replaced, and charging mechanism can charge to the battery changed, and power storage area can be used for storing charged
Battery, in case replace.Whole system is controlled by control centre, is performed fully automatic, and is participated in without artificial.

Dynamic band is located on the rack that power supply picks and places the roller-way and power supply fetching device in area, and the loop configuration for picking and placeing driving band is picked and placeed in power supply
The side in area is stayed there are one that can make that AGV trolley battery portions enter into battery area, and driving band and roller-way driving direction phase are picked and placeed
Vertically, the lifting supporting plate is set to described into battery area, and can be into moving up and down in battery area, and described two pick and place drive
The appropriate location of dynamic band has two battery blend stops, and the both ends of each battery blend stop pick and place driving band with two and are connected respectively.
It refers to that the battery to be replaced on AGV is brought by AGV into battery area, and battery can be driven into rising by lifting support supporting plate
Position, the position are in the inside for picking and placeing driving band of loop configuration.
Preferably, the lifting supporting plate is the M type structures for including two notches, two notches and AGV trolley batteries
Two side guard plates of slot are adapted, and the centre of two notches is battery backing board, and one of notch picks and places area with the power supply
Roller-way between be battery directing plate, the lifting supporting plate be in two power supplys pick and place between position raise up,
When lifting supporting plate is in the top of stroke, the upper surface at the position to raise up picks and places the roller-way in area with the power supply
Top is in sustained height.
Preferably, the charging driving band of the charging mechanism is equipped with side by side two, every charging driving band is set
In the roller-way of charging zone and the rack of charging mechanism, charging driving band and roller-way driving direction are perpendicular, two chargings
The appropriate location of driving band has two battery blend stops, and the both ends of each battery blend stop are respectively with two charging drivings with phases
Even.
The present invention also provides the control methods of above-mentioned AGV power supplys automatic-exchanging system, it includes the following steps:
(1)When the battery capacity of AGV trolleies is less than setting value, signal is sent out to control centre, control centre starts certainly
Dynamic guiding device, guiding AGV trolleies pour into appropriate location so that battery case is in into battery area, and battery is in battery backing board
Top, carry out replace battery operation;
(2)Lifting supporting plate rises, and drives battery to be detached from battery case and moves up, until lifting supporting plate rises to the most upper of stroke
End;
(3)Startup picks and places driving band, drives battery movement to reach power supply along battery directing plate by battery shelves item and picks and places area
On roller-way;
(4)Start roller conveyor structure, battery moves on roller-way, picking and placeing area by power supply, by transition region, reaches
Charging zone finally reaches the corresponding position of the charging zone in vacancy;
(5)Start charging driving band, drives power supply to enter charge position by battery blend stop and charge;
(6)After charging complete, and start charging driving band, drive power supply to return on the roller-way of charging zone by battery blend stop,
Start roller-way to drive battery to the storage of power storage area for use;
(7)Carrying out above-mentioned the(4)While step, the battery in power storage area, which is driven, to be entered power supply and picks and places
Area, when the position for the AGV trolleies for needing replacing battery is parked in battery arrival, roller conveyor structure pause, back-to-back starting picks and places
Band is driven, under the drive of battery blend stop, by battery along battery directing plate mobile battery backing board;
(8)Lifting supporting plate declines the bottom for reaching its stroke, and battery is placed in battery case, completes battery more
It changes.
The advantageous effect of the present invention brought is that the replacement battery solved present in the prior art needs manual operations,
Its degree of automation is reduced, needs to spend and is largely manually monitored battery usage amount, the technology for carrying out the replacement of battery is asked
Topic, realizes a kind of battery that can monitor, replace AGV automatically, and AGV power supplys easy to use, easy to operate are replaced automatically
System and its control method.
