An omnidirectional peristaltic sorting platform and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an omnibearing creeping and sorting platform and method. The platform comprises a PC (1), a rigid platform (2), a single-way executing module (3) group, a camera (4), an air pump (5) and a power supply (6). The single-way executing module (3) group and the camera (4) are arranged on the rigid platform (2). The PC (1) is positioned on one side of the rigid platform (2). The air pump (5) is positioned on the other side of the rigid platform (2). The single-way executing module (3) comprises a software driver (3-1), a software support (3-2), a guide rail (3-3), a sliding block (3-4), a deformable connecting pipe (3-5) and an air cylinder (3-6) from top to bottom. The software support (3-2) is connected with the software driver (3-1). The guide rail (3-3) is fixedly connected with one side of the software support (3-2). The sliding block (3-4) is connected with the guide rail (3-3) in a sliding manner. The deformable connecting pipe (3-5) is connected with the guide rail (3-3). The air cylinder (3-6) is connected with the deformable connecting pipe (3-5). The omnibearing creeping and sorting platform and method can achieve the purpose that balanced carrying and dynamic sorting of multiple kinds of articles are conducted at the same time, and the carrying and sorting efficiency are improved greatly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of soft robots, in particular to an omnidirectional peristaltic sorting platform capable of realizing balanced handling and dynamic sorting of multiple types of items at the same time. Background technique [0002] At present, the transportation of existing objects mainly adopts conveyor belts, mobile robots and other structures, and the sorting of objects mainly adopts various manipulators. sorting. The platform that can realize the sorting and handling of objects at the same time is the "WaveHandling" system developed by Festo, Germany. The new software motion platform developed by the University of Auckland imitates the alternating motion of the thoracic and abdominal feet of caterpillars, and controls the alternating motion of the soft body units to realize the horizontal and rotational motion of the platform object. However, these two platforms are limited by the material of the soft robot, the distan...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, these two platforms are limited by the materials of the soft robot. The distance that the soft body can expand and contract in the vertical direction is short, and the objects that can be supported are light in weight, so the application is limited.
