However, the top of the automated guided vehicle is sometimes used for installation during other periods, thereby conflicting with the installation of the radar. For example, the inventor's automated guided vehicle has a robot mounted on the top of the vehicle, and thus cannot mount a radar on the top. In this case, the radar must then be mounted on the peripheral side of the vehicle: front, sides and back. Since the detection range of the radar installed on the peripheral side of the vehicle is blocked by the vehicle itself to form a shadow region (detection blind region), for example, the radar installed in front of the vehicle is blocked by the vehicle body, the detection range is only 180 ° in front of the vehicle, and for the conditions of both sides and the rear of the vehicle, the radar cannot be detected, and if the vehicle is required to be able to detect the conditions of both sides, the radar needs to be installed on both sides of the vehicle respectively. Undoubtedly, this greatly increases the overall cost of the automated guided vehicle, and the process of identifying and controlling the vehicle is further complicated in the process of synthesizing multiple radar signals, etc.

Detailed Description
The invention is further described with reference to the following examples.
The specific implementation mode of the radar navigation automatic guide trolley (the trolley in the embodiment) comprises a trolley frame 1, a shell 2, a manipulator 3, a radar 4 and a camera 5, as shown in figure 1. In this embodiment, for convenience of description, it is assumed that the mounting surface of the radar 4 is the front surface of the trolley, and generally, the most important scanning area of the trolley is the front surface thereof, so the mounting surface of the radar 4 is generally the front surface of the trolley, and in some special cases, the mounting surface of the radar 4 may also be a side surface or a back surface of the trolley, and the principle is always and will not be described herein again.
Lower part is cylindricly basically in shell 2, intermediate position department at shell 2, be formed with one recess 21, the notch of recess 21 is towards the front of dolly, the tank bottom (the one side towards the notch) of recess 21 is radar 4 spigot surface, radar 4 spigot surface and notch have formed the passageway of dodging that can dodge radar 4 signal within a definite time, radar 4 installs the front end at recess 21, the scanning signal that radar 4 sent can follow this passageway of dodging and radar 4 spigot surface and propagate to the both sides of dolly, finally reach the both sides of dolly and receive the signal of both sides passback, thereby realize the detection to the dolly both sides. Of course, the shape of the guiding surface of the radar 4 must also be required, and the shape of the guiding surface of the radar 4 must block the signal of the radar 4 as little as possible, i.e. must avoid as much as possible in the scanning path of the radar 4, so that the shadow area of the radar 4 in the horizontal plane formed by the guiding surface of the radar 4 is smaller than the shadow area formed by the housing 2. Of course, in order to reduce the obstruction of the vehicle body to the radar 4 signal as much as possible, the projection width of the groove 21 in the horizontal plane is preferably equal to the maximum width of the housing 2, so that the radar 4 signal is not obstructed by the vehicle body on both sides.
In order to ensure the avoidance effect of the radar 4 guide surface to the radar 4, as shown in fig. 2, the radar 4 guide surface comprises a left wing surface 22 and a right wing surface 23, the left wing surface 22 and the right wing surface 23 intersect in a projection of a horizontal plane, and a radar 4 mounting area is arranged in front of the intersection of the left wing surface 22 and the right wing surface 23. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the included angle between the left wing surface 22 and the right wing surface 23 of the guiding surface of the radar 4 is smaller than or equal to 90 °, so that the detection range of the signal of the radar 4 reaches 270 °, and it is found in practice that the groove 21 still does not substantially occupy too much space of the vehicle body, and the detection range of 270 ° already covers the front and the side of the vehicle body, and substantially meets most requirements, so that 90 ° is a relatively good choice. Of course, if a greater range of detection of the radar 4 signal is desired, the included angle may be set smaller, but in this case, the space occupied by the groove 21 may be larger.
Naturally, there are also other ways to make the shadow area of the radar 4 in the horizontal plane, which is formed by the guiding surface of the radar 4, smaller than the shadow area formed by the housing 2. For example, the guiding surface of the radar 4 and the side surface of the shell 2 are both arc cylindrical surfaces, but the arc curvature of the guiding surface of the radar 4 is larger than that of the side surface of the shell 2, and at this time, because the guiding surface of the radar 4 is more curved, and under the condition of the same circle center, the diameter of the guiding surface of the radar 4 is smaller, and the formed shielding on the scanning path of the radar 4 is smaller. Therefore, the shape of the guiding surface of the radar 4 can be flexibly adjusted by a person skilled in the art, as long as the guiding surface of the radar 4 and the side surface of the shell 2 are both arc cylindrical surfaces, and the arc curvature of the guiding surface of the radar 4 is larger than that of the side surface of the shell 2.

Four wheel holes have been seted up to lower floor's board for two sets of wheels of holding: a driving wheel 15 and a driven wheel. The set of driving wheels 15 comprises two driving wheels 15, the two driving wheels 15 are coaxial, i.e. the axles of the two driving wheels are on the same straight line. The number of the driving wheels 15 may be more as needed as long as all the driving wheels 15 are coaxial. The arrangement of the driven wheel is the same as that of the driving wheel 15, however, the driven wheel is an omnidirectional wheel, namely, a sub wheel which is axially vertical to the driven wheel is arranged on the wheel surface of the driven wheel, so that the steering of the vehicle is smoother. In order to control the steering conveniently, each driving wheel 15 is provided with a driving motor 16 as a driving mechanism, the driving motors 16 are arranged on the bottom plate 11, and each driving motor 16 controls one driving wheel 15, so that the steering of the intelligent manipulator 3 trolley can be controlled by controlling the difference of the rotating speeds of the two driving motors 16.
As shown in fig. 3, on the bottom plate 11, the area between the driving wheel 15 set and the driving wheel set is a counterweight area, the counterweight area is provided with a battery pack 17 and a counterweight 18, the battery pack 17 is arranged in the middle of the counterweight area, and the counterweight 18 is symmetrically arranged on two sides of the battery pack 17, so that the counterweight 18 is exactly located in the area between one driving wheel 15 and one driven wheel. In this embodiment, it is required to make the size of the weight block 18 large enough to make the width of the weight block area larger than the width of the driving wheel 15 group and the width of the driven wheel group, so that the weight distribution during the arrangement on the bottom plate 11 is more uniform, the center of gravity is as close as possible to the center of the bottom plate 11, and the probability of side turning is reduced.
The intelligent manipulator 3 trolley also comprises a radar 4 and a camera 5 which are arranged on the shell 2, a controller 6 is provided with a driving motor 16 of a signal control driving wheel 15 of the radar 4, and the manipulator 3 is controlled according to the signal of the camera 5. Wherein the controller 6 is installed at the position of the middle plate 12 so that relatively light control does not occupy the space of the bottom plate 11, so that the bottom plate 11 can be reduced in size as much as possible and the center of gravity is concentrated, and the controller 6 located at the middle plate 12 is also located closer to the radar 4 and the camera 5 for easy wiring.
In this embodiment, the robot 3 is mounted on the top plate 13, and the robot 3 includes a base arm disposed perpendicular to the top plate 13, and a rotating arm 31 is disposed on the top of the base arm, and the rotating arm 31 can rotate around a central axis of the base arm, so that the robot 3 can operate on articles in a surrounding 360 ° area while the vehicle body remains stationary.
