Abstract:

In response to the technical development needs of improving the vibration resistance and crossing ability of outdoor AGV(automated guided vehicle), a follow?up wheel vibration isolation system for outdoor AGVs is proposed and designed. Based on the vehicle suspension dynamics theory, a 7?DOF dynamic model and differential equations for motion in all directions are constructed. A simulation model is established using Simulink software environment. Based on this, three evaluation indicators for AGV stability are simulated and analyzed using triangular wave input as road excitation. Experimental tests are conducted on the obstacle?crossing capability of the AGV, along with efficiency comparison experiments between different obstacle?crossing simulation methods. The experimental results show that the mean maximum displacement of spring?loaded mass in the AGV is 13.42 mm, and the prediction error of the established simulation model is 4.6%, which is lower than that of the traditional Adams software’s simulation prediction error. The use of the proposed Simulink?based obstacle?crossing simulation method saves approximately 28% working time for designers compared to the traditional Adams simulation method.
