Abstract:
There exists a limitation while designing tugger device with latching area for gaining a specific orientation of a powered vehicle and orientation of unpowered trailers. This disclosure relates generally to an automated carrier tugger mounted on an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) for tugging a carrier. The automated carrier tugger includes a rotary joint unit, a swivel adaptor unit, and a tugging unit for clamping a horizontal bar. The rotary joint unit includes a vertical fixed shaft and plurality of integral pipes are integrated with a pipe mounting plate at one end. The swivel adaptor unit include the pipe mounting plate mounted onto the plurality of integral pipes and a male spherical joint integrated with a swivel adaptor plate. The tugging unit includes a single rear clamp and a plurality of front clamps with a plurality of flanges mounted onto a plurality of horizontal axis slides to move at required direction.
