Forks, warehouse robots and warehousing systems

Abstract

This application relates to the field of logistics and warehousing technology, and discloses a fork, a warehousing robot, and a warehousing system. The fork includes: a load-bearing component; a drive component disposed on the load-bearing component; a picking and placing component including a support frame, a guide, and a docking component. The support frame is movably disposed, the guide is disposed at the bottom of the support frame, and the guide is used to cooperate with the bottom support surface to provide guidance and support to the support frame when it moves with the support frame. The docking component is disposed on the support frame and is used to dock with a cargo box and to pick up and place the cargo box in coordination with the movement of the support frame; a one-way bending chain is disposed on the load-bearing component and connected to the drive component. The drive component is used to drive the one-way bending chain to flexibly bend and retract or rigidly extend relative to the load-bearing component. One end of the one-way bending chain is connected to the support frame, and the one-way bending chain is used to drive the support frame to move when it extends and retracts relative to the load-bearing component. Through the above method, this application can reduce the size and weight of the fork.
