Definitions

  • an automatic guided vehicle comprising:
  • - steering means coupled to said wheels and for steering one or more axles at each side of said vehicle; and - control means arranged onto said chassis and adapted to control the motor and the steering means such as to automatically adjust the speed and direction of the vehicle depending on remote signals from guiding elements in the environment of the AGV.
  • steering of vehicles usually takes place by means of so-called axial pivot steering, wherein each wheel of a shaft has its own point of rotation in order to limit the space required under a vehicle. With such steering arm control of the wheels on either side of a shaft, some slippage of the wheels occurs under particular conditions.
  • the present invention provides a vehicle for transporting cargo, for instance of containers, in a harbour area, comprising:
  • control means for controlling the steering device on the basis of data transmitted remotely to the vehicle
  • the shafts are preferably rigid so that it is possible to suffice with driving of one or a number of mutually coup ⁇ led wheels on one side of each shaft. If the steering of the rigid shafts takes place in correct manner from the control means, it is not only possible to travel crabwise but also to negotiate a sharp bend, while slippage of wheels is avoi- ded as far as possible.
  • a rigid shaft can further be steered electrically, which reduces the danger of leakage of hydraulic fluid and moreover facilitates servicing. This is all the more impor ⁇ tant as perhaps in the future the driving of such unmanned vehicles must also be take an electrical form, since no leakage of environmentally-damaging liquid can herein occur.
  • the present invention provides a system for controlling one or more vehicles, comprising:
  • - beacon elements which can be erected fixedly in the area and which reflect the microwaves such that they can be distinguished by the receiver from other reflecting objects disposed in the surrounding area.
  • the beacon elements can be erected at comparatively low cost in an existing harbour location or one to be newly constructed.
  • Operation preferably takes place at a frequency of about 95 GHz and/or with pyramid-like beacon elements, as it has been found that the microwave or radar radiation reflec ⁇ ted against these beacon elements are very well distinguish ⁇ able from other objects, such as containers, cranes and the like, disposed in the surrounding area.
  • the vehicle has in fact no front or rear and preferably has the same performance characteristics in both directions.
  • One pair of wheels is preferably driven on each of the sides of the vehicle.
  • At least one of the wheels is preferably provided with a speed and/or position detector, preferably a non-driven wheel, so that the posi ⁇ tion and/or speed can be transmitted to the central computer or control unit of the vehicle.
  • the wheels are driven using hydraulic motors which are driven in turn by a central pump so that the vehicle can be maneuvered more easily; these hydraulic motors preferably have two stroke volumes, wherein a small stroke volume can be used at relatively high speeds while a greater stroke volume is used at low speeds and during mov- ing off.
  • the diesel engine will preferably at a low number of turns per minute, such as to minimize pollution.
  • the position of the vehicle in relation to the beacon elements can be compared, for instance once or twice per second, with the signals obtained in the computer on the basis of the travel data. Both the distance to and the direction to the beacon elements are recorded on board the vehicle. Stored in the computer is an area map of the site and the positions of the beacons thereon.

Abstract

Une caractéristique importante des véhicules téléguidés automatiques est leur maniabilité, qui leur permet d'évoluer dans des espaces restreints, ainsi que la possibilité d'adapter la vitesse et l'itinéraire suivi par le véhicule, en marche avant ou arrière. Dans une première réalisation, l'invention concerne un véhicule téléguidé automatique (VGA) comportant: un châssis ou soubassement; au moins deux essieux espacés munis chacun d'au moins deux roues et suspendus sur ledit châssis; un moteur monté sur le châssis pour entraîner au moins deux roues montées sur au moins deux essieux, une roue au moins étant disposée de chaque côté du véhicule; des moyens de direction reliés auxdites roues et permettant de diriger un ou plusieurs essieux de chaque côté du véhicule; et des moyens de commande montés sur le châssis permettant de commander le moteur et les moyens de direction du véhicule afin de régler automatiquement la vitesse et la direction de déplacement du véhicule en fonction de signaux envoyés à distance par des éléments de guidage situés à proximité du véhicule téléguidé automatique.
