According to the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), ABB Switzerland Ltd. has filed a patent titled “Automated Guided Vehicle with Suspended Carrier”, published under number CN121712679A, with an application date of August 2023.
The patent describes an automated guided vehicle (AGV) design featuring a chassis, multiple wheel units, an electronic control system, and one or more elastic suspension elements. Each wheel unit supports the chassis on a horizontal surface and communicates with the electronic control system to ensure precise navigation and operation.
A distinctive aspect of the invention is the suspended carrier, which is mounted via the suspension elements within the chassis. This carrier horizontally houses the control system inside the chassis, while also extending horizontally outside the chassis if needed. The design allows for improved vibration isolation, better protection of sensitive electronics, and increased operational stability during AGV movement.
This patent highlights ABB’s ongoing commitment to advancing intelligent automation and material handling technologies, enhancing the performance, reliability, and versatility of AGVs for industrial and logistics applications.
