AGV usually consists of the following components:
Structure Composition of AGV
①Car body: It is composed of the frame and the corresponding mechanical devices. It is the basic part of the AGV and the installation basis of other assembly components.
②Power storage and charging device: composed of charging station and automatic charging machine, AGV can complete automatic online charging, centralized management by central control system, to achieve 24-hour continuous production.
③Drive device: It is composed of wheels, reducer, brake, drive motor and speed controller, etc. It is a device to control the normal operation of AGV. The running command is issued by computer or manual control, and the adjustment of running speed, direction and braking is controlled by computer. For safety, the braking device is realized by mechanical braking method when power is cut off.
④Guiding device: Accept the direction information of the guiding system to ensure that the AGV cart is walking along the correct path.
⑤Communication device: realize the exchange of information between AGV, console and monitoring equipment.
⑥Safety and auxiliary devices: In order to avoid the AGV from colliding when the system fails or when someone passes the AGV working route, the AGV generally has obstacle detection and collision avoidance, warning sound, warning, emergency stop and other devices.
⑦ Transfer device: a device that directly contacts the goods being carried to realize the transfer of the goods. In different tasks and site environments, different transfer systems can be selected, and the commonly used ones are roller type, forklift type, and manipulator type.
⑧Central control system: It is composed of computer, task acquisition system, alarm system and related software. It is mainly divided into ground (upper) control system and vehicle-mounted (lower) control system. Among them, the ground control system refers to the fixed equipment of the AGV system, which is mainly responsible for tasks such as task allocation, vehicle scheduling, route (line) management, traffic management, and automatic charging. After the vehicle-mounted control system receives the command from the higher-level system, it is responsible for the AGV's navigation calculation, guidance implementation, vehicle walking, loading and unloading operations and other functions.
