Abstract

PURPOSE: To securely turn the carriage and change its track in a narrow place by steering the four wheels independently of one another and driving one front and one rear wheels independently. CONSTITUTION: The steering method for the unmanned carriage 1 which travels by enabling independent steering control over the four wheels provided on the reverse side of the carriage 1, and deciding one front and one rear wheels as driving wheels 2 and 5 and controlling those driving wheels 2 and 5 independently of each other steers the two front wheels 2 and 3 to the travel direction of the carriage 1. When the carriage 1 starts turning, the two rear wheels 4 and 5 are steered to the travel direction following the front wheels 2 and 3 so that the track of the rear part of the carriage 1 smoothly enters the tuning without projecting from the track of a straight travel. Then the two front wheels 2 and 3 and the two rear wheels 4 and 5 are steered in opposite-phase relation to turn the carriage 1 with a specific radius. Then the two rear wheels 4 and 5 are steered to the travel direction of the two front wheels 2 and 3 to move to a straight travel so that the track of the front part of the carriage 1 does not project from the track of the straight travel at the end of the turning.

[Operation] When turning with a constant radius, the front and rear wheels are steered in opposite phases to turn. Regarding the steering angle to the left and right of the turning center, the turning radius of the outer wheel and the turning radius of the inner wheel are different, and the turning radius of the inner wheel is smaller.Therefore, the steering angle of the inner wheel should be steered larger than the steering angle of the outer wheel. Correct the steering angle. Further, the rotational speed of the drive wheel is corrected so that the rotational speed of the inner wheel is smaller than the rotational speed of the outer wheel so that the rotational speed of the inner wheel is smaller. When shifting from straight running to turning with a constant radius, the front wheels are steered to a steering angle corresponding to the turning radius. On the rear wheel side, when the turning angle of the vehicle body is equal to or smaller than the steering angle of the front wheel, the steering angle of the rear wheel is matched with the turning angle of the vehicle body, and the rear wheel side always steers so as to face the traveling direction. When the turning angle of the vehicle body matches the steering angle of the front wheels, the steering angle of the rear wheels is inverted in phase with the steering angle of the front wheels to match the absolute value. Steer.
When shifting from turning to straight running, the steering angle of the front wheels is made to match the turning angle of the vehicle body by reversing the above operation until the turning angle becomes zero, and the front of the vehicle always faces the traveling direction. The rear wheels are steered at a constant angle. And when the turning angle of the car body becomes zero, the front wheels,
The steering angle of the rear wheels is shifted to zero, and straight running is performed.

Steering the two rear wheels toward the direction of travel guided by the front wheels so as to smoothly transition from a straight path to a turn, and then steer the two front wheels and the two rear wheels in opposite phases to transport the vehicle. Turn at a predetermined radius, then steer the two rear wheels toward the direction of travel of the two front wheels, and at the end of the turn, change the trajectory of the front part of the transport vehicle from the straight trajectory to the straight traveling. A method for steering an automated guided vehicle, which comprises steering.
