A loading and unloading robot and its control system

Abstract

A loading robot and a control system thereof, comprising a control terminal (1), a drive apparatus, caterpillar travelling apparatuses (2), a chassis (3), and a folding gantry platform (4), the caterpillar travelling apparatuses (2) being arranged on two sides of the chassis (3), the drive apparatus being arranged on one end of the chassis (3), and the folding gantry platform (4) being arranged on a chassis frame of the caterpillar travelling apparatuses (2); the drive apparatus provides power for a drive wheel (17) of the caterpillar travelling apparatuses (2) and a hydraulic system of the folding gantry platform (4); the control terminal (1) is connected to the drive apparatus, and the control terminal (1) also communicates with an external remote controller portable terminal; and the control terminal (1) can control the movement of the caterpillar travelling apparatus (2) and the action of the folding gantry platform (4) on the basis of user operating commands transmitted by the remote controller portable terminal. The present loading robot does not require manual driving and solves the problem of the danger of traditional forklift operations, has a small volume and can be transported by vehicle, and is provided with caterpillar travelling apparatuses (2) and can adapt to variable outdoor environments and terrains, improving the environmental adaptability and handling safety of the loading robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of loading and unloading machinery and automation control, in particular to a loading and unloading robot and its control system. Background technique [0002] Existing logistics and storage robots are mainly used indoors and require a complete control system to operate. The cost is high, but the load capacity is low, and the requirements for the site are high, so they cannot adapt to the changing outdoor environment and terrain. Compared with the logistics warehouse, the outdoor loading and unloading operation environment is more complicated, especially when loading and unloading heavier and larger goods, a loading and unloading robot with strong adaptability to outdoor venues is required to complete the loading and unloading work.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0002] Existing logistics and storage robots are mainly used indoors and require a complete control system to operate. The cost is high, but the load capacity is low, and the requirements for the site are high, so they cannot adapt to the outdoor environment and terrain.

Compared with the logistics warehouse, the outdoor loading and unloading operation environment is more complicated, especially when loading and unloading heavier and larger goods, a loading and unloading robot with strong adaptability to outdoor venues is required to complete the loading and unloading work

[0003] Logistics warehousing handling / loading and unloading robots mainly use electric forklifts, which can carry out autonomous handling / loading and unloading of small goods on planned routes and areas; traditional forklifts are bulky and need to be placed in large trucks for transportation, and it is not easy to load and carry them. convenient

When traditional forklifts are used in the field environment, due to the uneven ground in the field environment, it is difficult to load and unload goods

When working, the traditional forklift is driven by a licensed driver and can carry large and medium-sized goods. When handling dangerous goods, there is almost no protection for the cab, and the safety of the driver cannot be guaranteed in the event of an accident.
