In the prior art, robots are usually equipped with multiple layers of pallets. In order to maintain the stability of the robot, the pallets of each layer can often only be installed on a specific layer, resulting in the non-reusability of the pallets and increased operation and maintenance costs. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention is completed in view of the above-mentioned existing situation, and its purpose is to provide a robot with a pallet adjustment component to facilitate pallet installation and reduce operation and maintenance costs.

[0022] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. In the following description, the same symbols are given to the same components, and repeated descriptions are omitted. In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic diagrams, and the ratio of the dimensions of the components or the shapes of the components may be different from the actual ones.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a robot 1 with a tray adjustment component for performing a delivery task. The robot 1 with a tray adjustment component includes: a mobile chassis 20, a robot body 10 arranged on the mobile chassis 20, and a plurality of trays 30 arranged in parallel. The robot body 10 is tilted relative to the mobile chassis 20. A plurality of first positioning marks 40 and a plurality of fixing components 50 are arranged along the extension direction of the robot body 10. The first positioning marks 40 are arranged corresponding to the fixing components 50. In other words, each first positioning mark 40 can be arranged corresponding to a fixing component 50. A slide 31 is arranged along the extension direction of the tray 30. A plurality of second positioning marks 80 are arranged along the slide 31. The first positioning mark 40 corresponds to the second positioning mark 80 one by one. The slide 31 can slide relative to the fixing component 50, and the fixing component 50 can fix the slide 31 at the position of any second positioning mark 80. In this case, on the one hand, the pallet can be installed at the target position of the layer by sliding the pallet and then fixing the pallet to the position corresponding to the first positioning mark and the second positioning mark of the layer. Therefore, the pallet of each layer can be quickly fixed at the specified position, so that the pallets of each layer can achieve a stable center of gravity as a whole, thereby improving the stability of the robot during movement. On the other hand, the pallets can be manufactured with uniform specifications, avoiding the need to separately set up installation components at specific positions for pallets on each layer due to the tilted setting of the robot body relative to the mobile chassis. Standardized pallets can be installed at specified positions on each layer, reducing the types of robot components, improving the reusability of pallets, and reducing costs overall.

[0024] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the fixing assembly 50 includes a sliding member 51. The slideway 31 has a slide groove 311. The sliding member 51 can slide relatively along the slide groove 311. Thus, the stability of the relative sliding between the tray and the fixing assembly is improved.

[0025] In this embodiment, the sliding member 51 can slide relatively inside the slide groove 311. In other words, when the sliding member 51 is relatively fixed to the robot body 10, the sliding member 51 slides relative to the slide groove 311 by moving the tray.

[0026] In this embodiment, the fixing assembly 50 further includes a fixing member 52. The sliding member 51 is disposed on the fixing member 52. The sliding member 51 is fixed to the fixing member 52 by means of screws 53. In this case, the slideway and the fixing assembly can be fixed by tightening the screws at a specified position.

[0027] In some examples, two sliding members 51 may be provided on each fixing member 52. The two sliding members 51 may increase the stability of sliding inside the slide groove 311. The sliding member 51 may be a slidable nut.

[0028] In some examples, the fixing member 52 may be provided with a flat portion (not shown in the figure). The sliding member 51 is provided on the flat portion. An opening may be provided on the flat portion, and the screw 53 may pass through the opening and be threadedly engaged with the sliding member 51.

[0029] It is understandable that, in some examples, the screw 53 may also be replaced by a component such as a bolt or a stud that has threads and can be threadedly matched with the sliding member 51 .

[0030] In this embodiment, the fixing assembly 50 further includes a mounting member 54. The mounting member 54 is mounted on the robot body 10. The fixing member 52 is inserted into the mounting member 54. Thus, the fixing assembly can be detachably mounted on the robot body, which is convenient for disassembly and replacement, and can reduce the number of fixing assemblies used overall, thereby improving the reusability of the fixing assembly and reducing the cost.

[0031] In some examples, the mounting member 54 may be provided with a slot (not shown). The fixing member 52 may be provided with a plug-in portion. The plug-in portion may be inserted into the slot and tightly fit. Thus, the fixing member and the mounting member may be quickly assembled and disassembled.

[0032] It is understandable that the fixing member 52 can be integrally formed.

[0033] In some examples, the slideway 31 may be a profile. The slideway 31 may be in a strip shape.

[0034] In this embodiment, the slideway 31 is disposed on both sides of the tray 30. The robot body 10 includes a first support structure 11 and a second support structure 12 symmetrically disposed on both sides of the mobile chassis 20. The fixing assembly 50 is symmetrically disposed on the first support structure 11 and the second support structure 12.

[0035] In some examples, the tray 30 may be substantially rectangular. The slideway 31 may extend along two symmetrical sides of the tray 30. Preferably, the slideway 31 is provided at two long sides of the tray 30. The slideway 31 may be fixed to the tray 30 by screws 312. The slideway 31 may be provided at the bottom surface of the tray 30. Thus, the other side of the tray 30 is not affected for carrying items.

[0036] In this embodiment, the first support structure 11 and the second support structure 12 are symmetrically provided with the installation opening 121. The fixing assembly 50 is provided at the installation opening 121. Thus, the installation and removal of the fixing assembly are facilitated.

[0037] In some examples, the fixing assembly 50 can be inserted into the installation opening 121. It is understandable that a first positioning mark 40 can be set near each installation opening 121. However, the fixing assembly 50 can be selectively set in a certain installation opening 121. In other words, the fixing assembly 50 does not need to be set in all installation openings 121.

[0038] In this embodiment, the installation opening 121 may be disposed on the inner side of the first supporting structure 11 and the second supporting structure 12 relative to each other.

[0039] In some examples, the first support structure 11 and the second support structure 12 may be support columns. The first support structure 11 and the second support structure 12 may be substantially columnar. One end of each of the first support structure 11 and the second support structure 12 may be disposed at the front end of the mobile chassis 20. Thus, the robot body 10 is disposed at an acute angle to the mobile chassis 20.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first positioning mark 40 is disposed close to the fixing assembly 50. In this case, it is easier to identify the position of the fixing assembly, and it is convenient to correspond the first positioning mark with the second positioning mark to avoid installation errors.

[0041] It is understandable that when the tray 30 is not disposed at the position corresponding to the first positioning mark 40 , the fixing component 50 may not be disposed at the position corresponding to the first positioning mark 40 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the first positioning mark 40 can be different numbers. The second positioning mark 80 can be the same number as the first positioning mark 40. In this way, it is convenient to correspond the installation position of the pallet by numbers. Specifically, the first positioning mark 40 can be the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and these numbers are arranged in sequence along the first support structure 11. At this time, the second positioning mark 80 is also 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and is also arranged in sequence along the slide 31. When the pallet 30 is set at the position where the first positioning mark 40 is 2, the fixing component 50 fixes the slide 31 to the position where the second positioning mark 80 is the same number (2). In this case, the center of gravity of each layer of the pallet 30 can be concentrated in the area where the mobile chassis 20 is projected onto the ground, and the center of gravity can be located at the center of the mobile chassis 20. In this way, the stability of the movement of the robot 1 is guaranteed.

[0043] It is understandable that the first positioning mark 40 may also be other marks, such as letters, symbols, etc. The second positioning mark 80 is a mark having a one-to-one correspondence therewith.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first positioning marks 40 are arranged at equal intervals on the robot body 10. Specifically, the first positioning marks 40 are arranged at equal intervals on the first supporting structure 11. Thus, the trays 30 can be arranged at equal intervals on the robot body 10.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second positioning marks 80 may be arranged at equal intervals on the slideway 31 .

[0046] The above-mentioned implementation modes do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the technical solution. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the above-mentioned implementation modes shall be included in the protection scope of the technical solution.
