Work bin handling system and method using lifting robot

Abstract

The invention provides a work bin handling system and method using a lifting robot. The work bin handling system comprises a scheduling system, a task management system, a robot and a lifting device;the scheduling system is connected with the task management system, receives a work bin handling task from the task management system, plans the travel route of the robot and dispatches the rising andfalling of the lifting device; the lifting device is controlled to rise and fall by the scheduling system to carry and transport the robot; and the robot is provided with a fork taking mechanism anda fork rod lifting frame, when the robot takes and places cargos, the fork rod lifting frame is heightened, and when the robot walks with the cargos and enters and exits the lifting device, the fork rod lifting frame is lowered. The work bin handling system has the advantage that the height of the handling robot can be adjusted, and a lifting mechanism is lowered to the lowest area when the robotmoves with the load, so that the center of gravity of the robot is closer to the ground, and the robot can move at a higher speed; and when passing through a space with a limited vertical height, therobot can pass smoothly and the space adaptability is better.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of handling devices, in particular to a material box handling system using a liftable robot and a handling method thereof. Background technique [0002] Existing material box handling method is to be provided with a kind of fixed frame on the robot body, there are structural parts such as material box pick-and-place device, chain, gear in the frame, lifts feed box pick-and-place device by using transmission parts such as chain gear in the framework. The above-mentioned technical solution is relatively cumbersome, and the height of the lifting frame is always higher than the highest point of the goods to be taken. If the storage height of the goods is high, the height of the car body will also be high, and the disadvantages brought about by this are: [0003] 1. Slow moving speed: A high frame will lead to a high center of gravity of the robot. When the robot moves, it needs to keep the center of gravity stable, so it ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The above-mentioned technical solution is relatively cumbersome, and the height of the lifting frame is always higher than the highest point of the goods to be taken. If the storage height of the goods is high, the height of the car body will also be high, and the disadvantages brought about by this are:

[0003] 1. Slow moving speed: A high frame will lead to a high center of gravity of the robot. When the robot moves, it needs to keep the center of gravity stable, so it cannot move at a faster speed, which affects efficiency;

[0004] 2. The application location is limited: If the height of the robot is too high, the robot cannot enter and exit places with small vertical space, such as elevators, low doors, etc.;

[0005] 3. Inconvenient transportation, installation, and maintenance: the height of the robot is too high and it takes up a lot of space during transportation, which is not only expensive, but also inconvenient to transport

When the equipment at the height of the robot fails, additional equipment is needed to lift people to a high position for maintenance
