Fork type

Introduction to the plan

Fork mobile robots are suitable for loading, unloading, stacking, and transporting pallet goods of different heights. It can complete a series of actions, such as lifting, carrying, and transporting palletized goods without additional special carriers, to realize less labour force and automatic logistics on the factory.
The overall solution of fork-type handling mobile robot is mainly divided into nine modules according to the whole vehicle function of the mobile robot, such as control system, navigation and sensing, chassis drive, actuator, safety detection, interaction module, communication module, power supply unit, and optional functions.

Plan composition

Control system

The control system is the main control module of the vehicle, which is the "brain" of the mobile robot and the decision-making and data concentration platform of the mobile robot.

Navi sensors

Navigation sensors are the "eyes" of the mobile robot, responsible for collecting environmental information and communicating with the main control unit. Different sensors are selected according to different navigation methods.

Chassis drive

The chassis drive is the "foot" of the mobile robot to achieve the robot's walking and steering functions. Generally, low voltage servo motors and motor drives are used. According to the chassis mode, load and other different types, power of the drive, reducer, motor and wheel combination.

Actuator

The actuator is the "hand" of the mobile robot, which determines the robot's movements and handling methods. Commonly, there are lifting devices, forks, rollers, robotic arms and so on.

Safety detection

Safety detection is mainly to provide safety for mobile robots to achieve obstacle avoidance, obstacle bypass and other functions. According to different obstacle avoidance needs can choose different information acquisition unit, common vision camera, obstacle avoidance laser, ultrasound, touch edge and so on.

Interaction module

The interaction module mainly includes a call module, hand-held remoter, vehicle screen, etc., which provides an interaction function for the mobile robot, and the user can issue commands through the interaction module, to control the action of the mobile robot. In the application of handling Forklift AGV generally with a vehicle display, you can do the task configuration on the display to reach the screen and manually issue commands on the screen to achieve the mobile robot control and task assignment.

Communication module

The communication module mainly realizes the wireless communication function of the mobile robot, as well as the wireless roaming switching function in large scenes.

Optional function

Mobile robots are used in all aspects of various industries, and in order to adapt to special application scenarios, it has corresponding functions, such as material leg recognition, pallet recognition, and 3D obstacle avoidance and so on.
