Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application is provided by way of specific examples, and other advantages and effects of the present application will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the disclosure herein. While the description of the present application will be described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the features of the present invention to that embodiment. Rather, the invention has been described in connection with embodiments for the purpose of covering alternatives and modifications as may be extended based on the claims of the present application. In the following description, numerous specific details are included to provide a thorough understanding of the present application. The present application may be practiced without these particulars. Moreover, some of the specific details have been omitted from the description in order to avoid obscuring or obscuring the focus of the present application.
For persons skilled in the art to understand more easily, the technical solution of the present application is described below by taking the working scenario of AGVs at a dock as an example, but it is understood that the embodiments of the present application can be applied to other scenarios besides a dock, such as a port, a mining area, etc.
Referring to fig. 1, in the present scenario, a working area and a power exchange area are provided on the dock, wherein the working area is provided with a shore bridge (i.e., a shore bridge container crane for loading and/or unloading a ship), and an AGV lane for AGVs to travel is provided below the shore bridge. In the process of unloading the ship, the AGV trolley can be used for evacuating the containers unloaded from the shore bridge to a container yard; in the process of shipping, the AGV trolley can be used to transport containers from the container yard to the underside of the shore bridge, which then loads the containers onto the ship.
An AGV (automatic guided vehicle) battery replacing station is arranged in the battery replacing area, a battery replacing station is arranged in the battery replacing station, and an AGV (automatic guided vehicle) to be replaced with a battery can replace the battery in the battery replacing station. Trade electric station can be that the robot trades electric station automatically, also can be the station of manual work on duty etc. this application does not limit, as long as can satisfy realize trading the electricity can. An AGV lane is arranged between the working area and the electricity changing area, and the AGV to be changed can travel to the electricity changing station along the AGV lane.
Fig. 2 shows an arrangement of the power switching region. One side in AGV lane is equipped with trades the power station, and the opposite side in AGV lane is equipped with the AGV parking area, is equipped with a plurality of parking stalls (be drawing of the drawing PB01 ~ PB11 respectively) in the AGV parking area, wherein, including just trading parking stall PB06 that the power station entry set up and staggering trading the parking stall that the power station entry set up (except PB06 other parking stalls). When no available power change potential exists in the AGV power change station (for example, when all power change potentials in the AGV power change station are in a busy state), the AGV to be power changed is parked in the AGV parking lot to wait for power change.
Fig. 2 shows a travel path of an AGV when the AGV goes to an AGV swap station to swap power in the prior art, the AGV parking lot is parked with an AGV 01 waiting for swapping power and an AGV 02, for the AGV 01, a travel path from a parking space PB06 to an entry of the swap station is a straight line L and a travel time is T1, for the AGV 02, a travel path from a parking space PB09 to an entry of the swap station is a broken line L and a travel time is T2, it can be seen that the travel path L of the AGV 02 has two more turns relative to the travel path L of the AGV 01, and therefore, the travel time T2 of the AGV 02 is greater than the travel time T1 of the AGV 01.
In other words, in the prior art, the traveling time of the AGVs traveling from the waiting area to the battery replacement station is different, and when an available battery replacement station appears in the battery replacement station, the AGVs on some parking spaces can travel to the battery replacement station only by taking a long traveling time, so that the idle time of the battery replacement station is increased, and the battery replacement efficiency is reduced.
For this reason, referring to fig. 3, an AGV power swapping method is provided in the embodiment of the present application, and the power swapping method provided in the embodiment is described below in an arrangement manner of the working area shown in fig. 2, but it should be noted that the embodiment of the present application is not limited to the arrangement manner. The battery replacement method comprises the following steps:
s10: the AGV to be replaced runs to the first waiting area 100, and the first waiting area 100 and the replacement station entrance are arranged in a staggered mode. For example, the first waiting area 100 may be a space other than PB06 in fig. 2.
S20: whether a parking space is available in the second waiting area 200 is judged, wherein the second waiting area 200 is arranged opposite to the charging station entrance (for example, the second waiting area 200 may be a PB06 parking space in fig. 2). When the second waiting area 200 has available parking spaces, the AGVs waiting for battery replacement travel from the first waiting area 100 to the second waiting area 200, and it can be understood that the AGVs can travel from the second waiting area 200 to the entrance of the AGV replacement station along a straight path.
In some alternative implementations, the AGVs waiting to be powered off enter the second waiting area 200 in sequence as they enter the first waiting area 100.
In some optional implementation manners, the battery swapping control system acquires the state information of the second waiting area 200 at set time intervals to determine whether there is an available parking space in the second waiting area. The set time interval may be 5s, 30s, 1 minute, etc.
S30: and judging whether an available battery replacing station exists in the battery replacing station, and when the available station exists in the battery replacing station, driving the AGV to the battery replacing station from the second waiting area 200 to replace the battery in the battery replacing station. The number of stations in the AGV replacing station can be one or multiple. Each station can be an automatic station (for example, battery replacement through a robot) or a station on duty manually.
In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, the second waiting area 200 is equivalent to a "buffer", and the AGV to be powered can enter the power conversion station with the least time from the buffer. Therefore, as long as an available station appears in the battery replacement station, the AGV to be replaced can be filled into the available station in the shortest time, so that the idle time of the battery replacement station in the battery replacement station can be reduced to the greatest extent, the utilization rate of the battery replacement station is increased, and the total time of battery replacement is shortened.
In some optional implementations, step S10 further includes:
s101: the automatic transport trolley travels to a set distance from the first waiting area 100;
s102: and judging whether the second waiting area 200 has an available parking space or not, and when the second waiting area 200 has an available parking space, driving the AGV to be converted to the second waiting area 200 from the current position.
At times, there are fewer AGVs to be powered off, at which time the second waiting area 200 may be idle. In this embodiment, when the AGV to be powered off is about to drive into the first waiting area 100, the state information of the second waiting area 200 is acquired, and if the second waiting area 200 has a vacant parking space, the AGV may omit the parking step in the first waiting area 100 and directly drive to the second waiting area 200, thereby further improving the power-off efficiency. In some optional implementation modes, the set distance is 3-10 m.
In some optional implementations, step S20 further includes:
s201: when the AGV to be charged runs to a set distance away from the second waiting area 200, whether an available charging station exists in the charging station or not is judged, and when the available station exists in the charging station, the AGV to be charged runs to the charging station from the current position. Therefore, the AGV to be powered can save the parking step in the second waiting area 200 and directly drive to the power conversion station, and the power conversion efficiency can be further improved. In some optional implementations, the set distance is 2-8 m.
Fig. 4a shows another arrangement of the commutation regions. Trade the power station setting in the extending area in AGV lane, and trade the power station and have AGV entry and AGV export, wherein, the AGV entry sets up in one side of trading the power station towards work area, and the AGV export sets up in one side of trading the power station work area dorsad. An AGV parking lot is provided on one side of the AGV lane, and a plurality of slots for parking AGVs are provided in the AGV parking lot (see PB01 to PB 05). In this arrangement, the AGV parking lot is first waiting area 100, and the AGV lane that trades power station AGV entry and just right is second waiting area 200, and it can be seen that a plurality of AGVs can be parked in proper order in second waiting area 200.
In the power exchanging process, the AGV to be subjected to power exchanging runs from the working area to the power exchanging area, firstly runs to the first waiting area 100, and then runs to the second waiting area 200 to wait for entering the power exchanging station when the second waiting area 200 has a vacant parking space. When an available power exchanging station appears in the power exchanging station, the AGV to be power exchanged enters the power exchanging station from the second waiting area 200 to exchange power.
Referring to fig. 4b, an internal lane is provided in the battery replacement station, the number of the internal lanes may be one, or may be multiple, and the extending direction of the internal lane is parallel to the AGV lane outside the battery replacement station. In the example shown in fig. 4b, there are two inner lanes in the swap station, and after the AGV passes through the entrance, the AGV can enter the inner lanes in a skew manner or the like. Further, all be equipped with a plurality of electric stations of trading along each inside lane (in fig. 4b, be equipped with 3 along every inside lane and trade electric work) to can trade the electricity for many AGV simultaneously, further improve and trade electric efficiency. And after the battery replacement is finished, the battery is pulled out from an AGV outlet of the battery replacement station, and the battery returns to the working area after turning around along the U-shaped path.
