AGV is the abbreviation of automated guided vehicle, which means "automatic guided transport vehicle". It refers to a transport vehicle equipped with electromagnetic or optical automatic guidance devices, which can travel along the specified guidance path and has safety protection and various transfer functions.
AGV is characterized by wheeled movement. Compared with walking, crawling or other non wheeled mobile robots, AGV has the advantages of fast action, high work efficiency, simple structure, strong controllability and good safety. Compared with other equipment commonly used in material transportation, the active area of AGV does not need to lay fixed devices such as track and support frame, and is not limited by site, road and space. Therefore, in the automatic logistics system, it can fully reflect its automation and flexibility, and realize efficient, economic and flexible unmanned production.
Features:
(1) High degree of automation;
Controlled by computer, electric control equipment, laser reflector, etc.
When auxiliary materials are needed in a certain part of the workshop, the staff will input relevant information to the computer terminal, and the computer terminal will send the information to the central control room. Professional technicians will send instructions to the computer. With the cooperation of electric control equipment, this instruction is finally accepted and executed by AGV - send the auxiliary materials to the corresponding place.
(2) Charging automation;
When the AGV trolley is about to run out of power, it will send a request command to the system to request charging (general technicians will set a value in advance), and automatically "queue up" at the charging place when the system allows.
In addition, the battery life of AGV car is very long (more than 10 years), and it can work for about 4H every 15 minutes of charging.
(3) Beautiful, improve the viewing degree, so as to improve the image of the enterprise.
(4) Convenient and reduce the floor area; The AGV trolley in the production workshop can shuttle back and forth in each workshop.
With the rapid development of logistics system, the application scope of AGV is also expanding. AGV system, a scheme of driverless car system based on electromagnetic navigation is studied and designed Through the actual hardware experiment, the system can meet the expected design requirements, can be widely used in industry, military, transportation, electronics and other fields, and has good environmental adaptability, strong anti-interference ability and target recognition ability.
