Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of hydrangea handling technology, specifically to an intelligent handling robot for hydrangea cold storage goods. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrangea mushrooms, a rare edible fungus, are highly sought after in the market due to their rich nutritional value and unique taste. However, their short shelf life and extreme sensitivity to storage conditions pose significant challenges to warehousing and handling. After harvesting, hydrangea mushrooms need to be stored at a low temperature of 0-5℃, while maintaining a relative humidity of 85%–95% to slow down respiration and moisture loss, thus extending their shelf life. If the storage temperature fluctuates by more than ±2℃, or the humidity deviates from the suitable range, it will accelerate mold and rot, leading to a decline in quality and even rendering them uncommercial.
[0003] However, in the existing technology, some processes in the traditional handling of goods in hydrangea cold storage still rely on manual operation. However, the low temperature environment has a significant impact on the health of the handling workers. Workers need to wear heavy cold-proof equipment, which not only reduces the flexibility of operation, but also greatly reduces the handling efficiency. In low temperature environments, the efficiency of manual handling is lower than that in normal temperature environments. Moreover, workers who work in low temperature environments for a long time are prone to occupational diseases such as frostbite and joint pain, which increases the labor risk and cost of enterprises. Therefore, an intelligent handling robot for hydrangea cold storage is proposed. Summary of the Invention

The two sets of infrared sensor assemblies 38, the two sets of flexible gripper assemblies 37 and the two sets of intelligent recognition sensors 39 are all connected to the control system 12 via signals.
[0040] Two sets of support frames 13 are installed on the upper end of the sealing cover 11, and both sets of lidar 15 are connected to the control system 12 via signals.
[0041] In this embodiment, the chassis 1 is integrally formed of 304 stainless steel, with added reinforcing ribs at the bottom, which can be used to package 50-500kg of hydrangea mushrooms. Its interior is divided into independent compartments, which respectively house the drive components and power supply system of the anti-slip moving mechanism 2. The compartments are separated by sealing strips, and the waterproof rating reaches IP65.
[0042] The detachable sealing cover 11 is composed of a transparent polycarbonate plate and a metal frame. A magnetic sealing strip is embedded in the inner side of the frame, which precisely engages with the slot of the chassis 1. The surface of the cover is sprayed with an anti-fog coating, so that no condensation water adheres in an environment of -5℃ to 10℃, making it easy to observe the status of internal components. Two sets of support frames 13 are symmetrically installed at the top to help fix the pipelines of the handling mechanism 3 and prevent them from getting tangled during movement.
[0043] The two sets of support rods 14 and lidar 15 are made of aluminum alloy. The bottom is fixed to the sealing cover 11 by a flange, and the lidar 15 is installed on the top. The lidar lens is equipped with an automatic heating and defrosting module to maintain scanning accuracy in an environment with 85% to 95% humidity, and forms a closed-loop navigation with the control system 12.
[0044] The height adjustment component 31 support frame 311 is a rectangular steel structure, with a first telescopic rod 312 nested inside. It adopts ball screw transmission. The bottom of the support plate 313 is equipped with reinforcing ribs, and the connection end with the telescopic rod is equipped with a buffer spring to avoid rigid impact during lifting.
[0045] The rotating component 32 and the placement frame 321 are fixed to the support plate 313 by bolts. The internal servo motor 324 drives the rotating rod 325 through the harmonic reducer, which drives the turntable 322 to achieve 360° continuous rotation. The contact surface between the turntable 322 and the placement frame 321 is embedded with a wear-resistant ring (made of polytetrafluoroethylene).
[0046] The flipping assembly 33 has a self-lubricating bearing built into the round shaft seat 331. The long rod 332 can rotate ±90° around the shaft. The tripod plate 333 is welded and fixed to the long rod 332. The movable slider 336 in the arc-shaped long hole 335 is connected to the connector 337 through the bearing. When the second telescopic rod 334 extends or retracts, it drives the long rod 332 to drive the long frame 338 to achieve a smooth flipping, preventing the goods from falling due to centrifugal force.
[0047] The telescopic component 34 and the two sets of sliding blocks 341 (made of high polymer wear-resistant material) slide along the guide rod 339 without any jamming. The third telescopic rod 343 pushes the vertical slider 344 to drive the moving plate 345 to rise and fall, meeting the retrieval and placement needs of shelf heights of 10cm to 60cm. The fourth telescopic rod 352 of the first moving component 35 can drive one set of telescopic components 34 to move laterally. The fifth telescopic rod 363 of the second moving component 36 drives another set of telescopic components 34 to adjust independently through the connecting shelf plate 362, adapting to turnover boxes of different specifications.
[0048] End-efficiency execution and sensing system: The flexible gripper assembly 37 is made of silicone material, with a built-in pressure sensor in the fingertip, which can automatically adjust the gripping force according to the weight of the goods. The intelligent recognition sensor 39 (including a 3D camera and a near-infrared module) and the infrared sensor assembly 38 are installed on both sides of the long frame 338 to detect the edge position of the goods.
[0049] The control system 12 integrates an industrial-grade PLC and a touch screen, with a built-in low-temperature adapter chip. It can simultaneously receive signals from the lidar 15, the infrared sensor assembly 38, and the intelligent identification sensor 39, and send control commands to each motor and telescopic rod to achieve fully automated operation. The system supports USB flash drive upgrades and remote networking.
[0050] Through the above structural design, the robot has achieved full automation of the cargo handling process in the hydrangea cold storage. It has shown remarkable performance in improving operational efficiency, reducing losses, and adapting to special environments, and has strong practicality and economy.
[0051] Example 2: According to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the anti-slip movement mechanism 2 includes two sets of batteries 23. Two sets of transmission rods 21 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the chassis 1. Anti-slip wheels 22 are installed on the outer wall of each set of transmission rods 21. Four sets of stepper motors 24 are installed inside the chassis 1. The output ends of the four sets of stepper motors 24 are fixed to one end of the four sets of transmission rods 21 respectively. The lower ends of the two sets of batteries 23 are fixed to the bottom of the chassis 1. Every two sets of stepper motors 24 are electrically connected to one set of batteries 23. All four sets of stepper motors 24 and two sets of batteries 23 are connected to the control system 12 via signals.
[0052] In this embodiment, the transmission and walking components are: four sets of transmission rods 21 connected to the chassis 1 at both ends by deep groove ball bearings, and the outer wall heat-fitted anti-slip wheels 22, which increase the ground contact area compared to ordinary tires;
[0053] Drive and power supply system: Four sets of stepper motors 24 adopt low temperature adapted models and are connected to the transmission rod 21 through planetary gear reducers. Two sets of batteries 23 provide independent power supply, each set is responsible for two motors on the same side, and automatically switches to the other set when one set fails.
[0054] The anti-slip movement mechanism 2 is driven by anti-slip wheels 22 and independent stepper motors 24 to ensure that the ground does not slip when it is frosty in low temperature. The batteries 23 provide group power supply to improve the stability of the battery life and meet the needs of long-term continuous operation.
[0055] The usage and working principle of this device: When the cold storage management system issues a handling task (such as picking up goods from shelf A and delivering them to area B), the instruction is transmitted to the robot's control system 12 through the wireless communication module. The control system 12 first performs a self-check, including checking the power of the battery 23 (if it is below 20%, it will automatically prioritize going to the charging base station), the standby status of each motor and telescopic rod, and the signal stability of the sensors. After the self-check is passed, the system calls up the preset cold storage electronic map, combines it with the environmental data scanned in real time by the lidar 15, generates an initial path plan, and activates the anti-slip movement mechanism 2 to enter the standby state.
[0056] Then, environmental perception and path correction: Two sets of lidar 15 installed at the top of the support rod 14 continuously scan the surrounding environment at a frequency of 10Hz, transmitting 360° point cloud data without blind spots to the control system 12 every second. The system compares the real-time scan data with the electronic map through the SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) algorithm to accurately locate the robot's current position. If a temporary obstacle is detected, the control system 12 immediately starts dynamic path planning and recalculates the optimal detour route to ensure safe movement.
[0057] Anti-slip drive control: The control system 12 sends commands to the four sets of stepper motors 24 of the anti-slip moving mechanism 2 according to the planned path. The stepper motors 24 drive the transmission rod 21 to rotate through the planetary gear reducer, which drives the anti-slip wheel 22 to roll. On the frosty ground, the steering can be achieved by adjusting the speed difference between the two motors. The side slip is controlled within 5mm. The dual batteries 23 independently power the motors on the same side. If one set fails, the system instantly switches to the other set to ensure the continuity of movement.
[0058] Finally, when the robot arrives at the target shelf area, the control system 12 instructs the handling mechanism 3 to start, the first telescopic rod 312 of the height adjustment component 31 extends, raising the support plate 313 to the same height as the target shelf. At the same time, the servo motor 324 of the rotating component 32 drives the turntable 322 to rotate, so that the flipping component 33 is aligned with the location of the goods. At this time, the infrared sensor components 38 installed on both sides of the long frame 338 start to work, detecting the edge position of the goods by emitting infrared signals.
[0059] The intelligent identification sensor 39 (3D camera + near-infrared module) is activated simultaneously. The 3D camera constructs a three-dimensional point cloud model of the goods packaging and analyzes the degree of packaging deformation. The near-infrared module penetrates the deformed packaging, captures the characteristic spectral peaks of the hydrangea mushroom, compares them with the batch information in the database, confirms the specifications and status of the goods, and feeds the identification results back to the control system 12 in real time. If the information matches, the grasping process is initiated; otherwise, an alarm is issued and manual confirmation is awaited.
[0060] Grasping parameter calculation: The control system 12 automatically calculates the clamping force and gripping position of the flexible gripper assembly 37 based on the cargo size, weight and packaging deformation data obtained by the intelligent identification sensor 39. The fourth telescopic rod 352 of the first moving assembly 35 and the fifth telescopic rod 363 of the second moving assembly 36 are activated respectively, driving the two sets of telescopic assemblies 34 to slide along the guide rod 339, adjusting the gripper spacing to adapt to different specifications of turnover boxes.
[0061] Precise gripping execution: The third telescopic rod 343 of the telescopic component 34 extends, pushing the moving plate 345 down, so that the flexible gripper component 37 is close to the goods. The pressure sensor at the tip of the gripper monitors the contact force in real time. When the preset value is reached, the descent stops. The silicone gripper naturally fits the packaging surface to avoid damage. After gripping, the third telescopic rod 343 retracts, raising the goods to a safe height.
[0062] Posture adjustment: If the goods need to be flipped (such as from horizontal stacking to vertical placement), the second telescopic rod 334 of the flipping component 33 extends and retracts, and slides along the arc-shaped long hole 335 through the movable slider 336, driving the long rod 332 to drive the long frame 338 to flip smoothly. The rotating component 32 synchronously adjusts the angle of the turntable 322 to ensure that the posture of the goods meets the placement requirements.
[0063] After grabbing the goods, the control system 12 instructs the anti-slip moving mechanism 2 to move to the target placement area according to the planned path. During the movement, the height adjustment component 31 keeps the height of the goods stable to avoid collision with the shelf or the ground. After arriving at the destination, the height adjustment, rotation and alignment actions are repeated. The goods are placed smoothly in the designated position by the descent of the telescopic component 34 and the pressure release of the gripper. After placement, the infrared sensor component 38 detects again to confirm that the goods have been placed correctly, and the gripper retracts and resets.
[0064] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
