Definitions

  • the invention relates to a driverless transport vehicle, in particular for the transport of load carriers, which has a mobile underframe and a load-bearing platform for receiving a load carrier, the underframe being arranged in the vertical direction below the load-bearing platform and the load-bearing platform by means of a lifting device on a vehicle frame of the undercarriage can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction, the lifting device being designed as a threaded spindle drive with at least one vertically arranged threaded spindle drive.
  • AGVs automated guided vehicles
  • platforms vehicles which drive under a load carrier, for example a pallet or a roller cart or a shelf with parking feet, and lift it slightly in order to move it horizontally and thus transport it and stop again.
  • Areas of application for such driverless transport vehicles in internal transport are, for example, the transport of pallets or trolleys or shelves from the storage location to a picking workstation and back or from a picking workstation at a production workstation.
  • Various designs of lifting devices are known for raising and lowering the load-bearing platform, for example scissor lifters, cam or eccentric disks with driven eccentrics, which enable the load-bearing platform to be raised in the range from 20mm to 40mm, or Hydraulic cylinder or a threaded spindle drive with at least one vertically arranged threaded spindle drive.
  • a driverless transport vehicle of the generic type in which the lifting device for raising and lowering the load-bearing platform is designed as a threaded spindle drive with at least one vertically arranged threaded spindle drive, is from the DE 20 2013 004 209 U1 known.
  • Such a lifting device for raising and lowering the load-bearing platform which is designed as a threaded spindle drive with at least one vertically arranged threaded spindle drive, enables high performance so that a heavy load can be lifted with a quick lift, and has a small installation space, so that the Screw drive can be installed in a flat and compact transport vehicle.
  • such a threaded spindle drive enables a large stroke and thus a large stroke height of the load-bearing platform of at least 100mm, so that a load carrier picked up on the load-bearing platform can be raised so far that its parking feet or rollers are raised so far from the road surface that when the Transport vehicle, the parking feet or rollers of the transported load carriers are located above a safety field generated, for example, by laser scanners arranged on the underframe de transport vehicle, so that the safety field generated by the laser scanners is not disturbed by the parking feet or rollers of the transported load carriers.
  • This enables the transport vehicle to be maneuvered quickly and achieves a less complex safety system for the transport vehicle.
  • the threaded spindle drive should, if possible, only force forces in the direction of the spindle axis of the threaded spindle drive, i.e. forces in the vertical direction, and the torques resulting from friction transferred around the spindle axis of the threaded spindle drive.
  • the present invention is based on the object of providing a transport vehicle of the type mentioned at the outset, in which the lifting device operates reliably.
  • At least one vertically arranged linear guide device is arranged between the vehicle frame and the load-bearing platform, which is designed in such a way that forces from the linear guide device in a plane perpendicular to a vertically arranged spindle axis of the threaded spindle drive from the load-bearing platform to the vehicle frame be transmitted.
  • the idea according to the invention therefore consists in arranging at least one vertically arranged linear guide device between the vehicle frame and the load-bearing platform, which transfers corresponding forces from the load-bearing platform to the vehicle frame in a horizontal plane that is perpendicular to the vertically arranged spindle axis of the threaded spindle drive. Lateral forces and bending moments transverse and thus perpendicular to the spindle axis of the threaded spindle drive are thus transferred from the load-bearing platform to the vehicle frame via the linear guide device, which can effectively ensure that the threaded spindle drive only forces in the direction of the spindle axis of the threaded spindle drive, i.e. forces in the vertical direction, and transmits the torques resulting from friction about the spindle axis of the threaded spindle drive, as a result of which reliable operation of the lifting device is achieved.
  • the linear guide device has at least one linear guide which has a guide rod which is fastened to the load-bearing platform and which is guided in a sliding guide arranged on the vehicle frame.
  • the linear guide is connected to the load-bearing platform at one end by means of the guide rod and is connected to the vehicle frame in the vertical direction below the load-bearing platform by means of the sliding guide and is supported on it.
  • One of these two connections for example the connection of the linear guide to the load-bearing platform or to the vehicle frame, should be rigid and the other connection, for example the connection of the linear guide to the vehicle frame or to the load-bearing platform, should be flexible.
  • the linear guide device has two linear guides, a first linear guide being designed to transfer forces from the load-bearing platform to the vehicle frame in all directions in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the vertically arranged spindle axis of the threaded spindle drive, and a second Linear guide is designed to transmit torques about a longitudinal axis of the first linear guide from the load-bearing platform to the vehicle frame.
  • the first linear guide transfers forces transversely and thus perpendicular to the spindle axis of the threaded spindle drive in all directions from the load-bearing platform to the vehicle frame, while the second Linear guide absorbs torques about the longitudinal axis of the first linear guide.
  • the second linear guide thus forms a type of torque support.
  • the first linear guide has a guide rod with a circular cross section, which is guided with little play in an annular sliding guide, in particular a sliding bush.

  • the guide rod arranged in the sliding guide attached to the vehicle frame thus only transmits forces in a single direction transversely and thus perpendicular to the spindle axis of the threaded spindle drive, for example in the transverse direction of the vehicle, due to the corresponding design of the play between the guide rod and the sliding guide the longitudinal axis of the first linear guide can be added.
  • the first linear guide is advantageously arranged at a distance from the second linear guide in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. This results in a correspondingly large distance and thus lever arm of the second linear guide from the first linear guide in a simple manner, so that the second linear guide can absorb and transmit the corresponding torques about the longitudinal axis of the first linear guide.
  • the threaded spindle drive has a spindle nut rotatably mounted on the vehicle frame, which can be driven by means of a drive unit of the lifting device, and a threaded spindle guided in the spindle nut, which is fixedly attached to the load-bearing platform.
  • the threaded spindle drive thus consists of a spindle nut that is attached to the The vehicle frame is rotatably mounted and is driven and rotates by means of the drive unit, and a threaded spindle guided through the spindle nut, which is prevented from rotating and for this purpose is non-rotatably fastened to the load-bearing platform.

  • the guide rod 87 is fastened to the load-bearing platform 5 at the upper end area and is supported vertically below the load-bearing platform 5 via the sliding guide 88 on the vehicle frame 3.
  • the first linear guide 81 is designed, forces in all directions in the perpendicular to the vertically arranged spindle axes SA of the threaded spindle drives 50a, 50b, 50c to transfer lying plane from the load-bearing platform 5 to the vehicle frame 3.
  • the second linear guide 82 is designed to transmit torques about a vertical longitudinal axis LG of the first linear guide 81 from the load-bearing platform 5 to the vehicle frame 3.
  • the guide rod 85 of the first linear guide 81 has this - as from the Figures 5 , 6th and 9 It can be seen - has a circular cross-section and is guided with little play in an annular sliding guide 86, which is designed as a sliding bush and is attached to the vehicle frame 3.
  • the guide rod 85 can thus forces in all Directions in the plane lying perpendicular to the vertically arranged spindle axes SA of the threaded spindle drives 50a, 50b, 50c are transferred from the load-bearing platform 5 to the vehicle frame 3.
  • the guide rod 87 of the second linear guide 82 has this - as from the Figures 5 and 6th can be seen - a rectangular cross-section, and is guided in a rectangular slide guide 88 attached to the vehicle frame 3 in such a way that the guide rod 87 is guided on the slide guide 88 in the vehicle transverse direction Q with little play and the guide rod 87 in the vehicle longitudinal direction L to the slide guide 88 forwards and backwards each has a game.
  • the guide rod 88 can therefore only transmit forces in one direction, in the illustrated embodiment in the vehicle transverse direction Q, transversely to the spindle axis SA of the threaded spindle drives 50a, 50b, 50c from the load-bearing platform 5 to the vehicle frame 3.
  • the second linear guide 82 is arranged at a distance from the first linear guide 81 in the vehicle longitudinal direction L, so that the guide rod 87 of the second linear guide 82, which is only supported in the vehicle transverse direction Q in the sliding guide 88, absorbs torques about the vertical longitudinal axis LG of the first linear guide 81 from the load-bearing platform 5 the vehicle frame 3 transmits.
  • the vertically moving guide rod 87 of the second linear guide 82 is arranged such that the guide rod 87 of the second linear guide uses an existing free space in the rotation range of the steerable wheel unit 11a about the vertical axis of rotation V1.
  • the threaded spindle 56 of the threaded spindle drive 50a which moves in the vertical direction, is arranged such that the threaded spindle 56 of the threaded spindle drive 50b uses an existing free space in the rotation area of the steerable wheel unit 12a about the vertical axis of rotation V2.
  • FIG Figure 12 the bearing of the steerable wheel unit 12a about the vertical axis of rotation V2 is designed as a flat bearing 100 with a large diameter.
  • the structure of the steerable wheel unit 12a is shown, in the area of which the threaded spindle 56 of the threaded spindle drive 50a is arranged.
  • the steerable wheel unit 11a in the area of which the guide rod 87 of the second linear guide 82 is arranged, has an analogous structure.
  • the steerable wheel unit 12a is provided as a double wheel with two wheels 22, 23 arranged in parallel and laterally spaced from one another, instead of a central single wheel.
  • the wheels 22, 23 are arranged laterally spaced from one another.
  • the guide rod 87 of the second linear guide 82 is arranged between the two wheels 20, 21 of the double wheel of the steerable wheel unit 11a.
  • the threaded spindle 56 of the threaded spindle drive 50a is accordingly arranged between the two wheels 22, 23 of the double wheel of the steerable wheel unit 11a
  • the steerable wheel unit 11a and the steerable wheel unit 12a can be attached directly to the vehicle frame 3.
  • the steerable wheel unit 12a is movably suspended on the vehicle frame 3 in order to be able to compensate for uneven road surfaces and to enable ramps to be driven on. It goes without saying that the steerable wheel unit 11a can also be suspended movably on the vehicle frame 3.
  • the pulley 71 of the toothed belt drive 51 is - as from the Figures 5 , 9 and 10 It can be seen - arranged concentrically to the longitudinal axis LG of the first linear guide 81 in a space-saving manner.
  • the deflection roller 71 is rotatably mounted on a tubular fastening flange 89 of the vehicle frame 3, in which the sliding guide 86 of the first linear guide 81 is arranged.
  • the threaded spindle drive 50 is still - as from FIG Figure 5 can be seen - provided with a braking device 90.
  • a corresponding braking device 90 is provided on each threaded spindle drive 50a, 50b, 50c for this purpose.
  • the braking device 90 is in each case designed as a claw brake 91 acting on the gear 57 and thus on the toothed belt pulley 58, which is non-rotatably connected to the spindle nut 55 of the corresponding threaded spindle drive 50a, 50b, 50c.
  • the claw brake 91 consists - as from the Figure 14 can be seen in more detail - from a lever 92 pivotably mounted on the vehicle frame 3 about a vertical pivot axis S.
  • the lever 92 is provided on a first lever arm 92a with tooth-like claws 93 which can be brought into engagement with the teeth on the outer circumference of the toothed belt pulley 58 and engage can.
  • the lever 92 is actuated by a spring device 94 in the direction of a braking position.
  • the spring device 94 is supported on the vehicle frame 3 and is connected to the lever 92.
  • the spring device 94 is designed as a compression spring which acts on the lever 92 with respect to the pivot axis S opposite the claws 93.
  • the claws 93 of the lever 92 engage the teeth of the toothed belt pulley 58.
  • the lever 92 is preloaded by the spring device 94 in such a way that, in the braking position, the toothed belt pulley 58 and thus the spindle nut 55 are blocked in the direction of the lowering of the load-bearing platform 5.
  • the claw brake 91 is actuated by the traction mechanism of the traction mechanism drive, in the illustrated embodiment by the toothed belt 53 of the toothed belt drive, in the direction of a release position.
  • the claw brake 91 is released against the force of the spring device 94 in that the tensioned toothed belt 53 of the toothed belt drive pivots the lever 92 against the force of the spring device 94 about the pivot axis S into a release position.
  • the lever 92 has a second lever arm 92b which extends to the toothed belt 53 and which is connected to the toothed belt 53. The second lever arm 92b is thus actuated by the toothed belt 53.
  • a toothed wheel 95 is arranged on the second lever arm 92b and is in positive engagement with the toothed belt 53.
  • the gear 95 is on for this purpose the second lever arm 92b is mounted rotatably about a vertical axis of rotation DA by means of a suitable, smooth-running bearing.
  • the toothed wheel 95 When the lifting device 7 is in operation with the toothed belt 53 driven, the toothed wheel 95 thus runs with the toothed belt 53. The force from the belt tension of the toothed belt 53 is thus transmitted via the gear 95 to the lever arm 92b in order to actuate the lever 92 against the force of the spring device 94 into the release position of the claw brake 91.
  • the lever 92 is actuated by the spring device 94 into the braking position due to the lack of belt tension of the toothed belt 53, in which the claws 93 engage the toothing of the toothed belt pulley 58 and the toothed belt pulley 58 is blocked in the direction of the lowering of the load-bearing platform 5.
  • An uncontrolled or oblique lowering of the load-bearing platform 5 in the event of a crack in the toothed belt 53 is thus reliably prevented.
  • the invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. It goes without saying that more than three threaded spindle drives can also be provided.
  • the traction mechanism drive can also be designed as a chain drive.
