Forklifts are important mechanical equipment in industrial production and are widely used in manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, ports, electricity, steel, metallurgy and other industrial sectors. Forklifts use lasers as control sources, which can directly convert human vision or hearing into mechanical signals in the form of high-speed lasers, allowing the driver to control the robot's movements. Because lasers have small spot (low brightness) characteristics, lasers have a better field of view and longer motion life than human hands, so they are very suitable for handling operations in small spaces, so they are also widely used in various large-scale warehousing projects. With the continuous improvement of the level of scientific and technological development, forklifts have become an indispensable and important part of the logistics system, and with the development of the economy, automated warehousing systems have become an indispensable part of the logistics system. So what characteristics do laser-guided AGV forklifts need to have?
1. Using laser as a control source, it is very sensitive to changes in ambient temperature and has good anti-interference ability, which requires the forklift to have higher stability, especially when driving at high speeds.
For this point, because the laser's light-emitting diode (LD) spot is relatively small. Therefore, under different environmental conditions, the intensity and resolution of the laser will change, thus affecting the forklift's movement. In addition, since the laser system is highly sensitive to environmental influences, it also has a certain connection with other parts of the control system. Since the laser has good anti-interference ability, it can also ensure that the forklift's driving state is not affected under conditions of large temperature changes.
2. The forklift should have the characteristics of fast speed, strong carrying capacity and high safety performance.
Forklifts are the most important handling equipment in the logistics system, so they are required to be fast, but high speed is one of the important factors to improve logistics efficiency. The speed of the forklift also directly affects the operating efficiency and storage management capabilities of the forklift system. Therefore, the forklift is required to be fast, and at the same time, the forklift's carrying capacity can be guaranteed without increasing the weight of the vehicle. At the same time, it must have the characteristics of high safety performance. With the development and progress of modern industrial production, logistics has become a very important part of industrial production. In order to improve the efficiency of logistics operations and improve working conditions, protect the personal safety of operators, reduce labor intensity and improve economic benefits, forklift manufacturers must use advanced technology and safe and reliable equipment to ensure the personal safety of safe operators during production operations. At present, domestic production and use units have higher and higher requirements for forklift technology and safety, and more stringent inspection and test management and assessment standards are needed to improve the technical performance and safety performance of forklifts.
3. When the laser forklift turns, it should keep a certain distance from the driver as much as possible to avoid visual fatigue of the driver and cause dangerous behavior.
When the vehicle passes through a curved section, the driver should keep a certain safe distance from the vehicle. During the turning process, the turning angle should be maintained at a certain angle to avoid visual fatigue of the driver and cause dangerous behavior. Forklifts are an indispensable part of the automated warehousing system. It is not only a tool for handling, stacking and shipping forklifts, but also an effective tool for handling, loading and unloading goods and moving items. In industrial production, forklifts have become an indispensable and important part of the automated warehousing system. With the continuous acceleration of my country's industrial intelligence process, the application of forklifts in various fields is also increasing rapidly. However, traditional forklifts have shortcomings such as complex structure, harsh working environment and high cost.
4. When carrying out handling operations, laser forklifts must have long-term driving and stability.
When goods are being moved in the warehouse, they often fall onto the forklift. If the forklift itself is running at high speed, it is easy for the forklift to collide or overturn. And if there is a problem during the operation of the forklift, casualties are likely to occur. Therefore, the forklift should have long-term travel and stability. Since the robot itself has an inertial collision problem: after a mechanical collision, the robot will subconsciously stop walking and leave the robot's location. When this happens, the robot will stop moving, so the robot needs to have long-term walking. In addition, there must be stable and efficient motors and gearboxes as well as transmission components and transmission devices.
