[0036] Specifically, the storage rack 3 is disposed on a side of the main control box 13 , and the storage rack 3 can be moved along the horizontal sliding mechanism 6 to be exposed outside the main control box 13 or hidden at the side of the main control box 13 .
[0037] Preferably, the mounting frame 51 is mounted at the end of the sixth rotating arm 47. The mounting frame 51 includes a first fixing plate 511 fixed to the multi-axis robot arm. The electric cylinder 52 is fixed to the lower end of the first fixing plate 511. A supporting plate 512 is provided at the lower end of the electric cylinder 52.

[0038] Specifically, the mounting frame 51 is provided with a support plate 56 positioned below the clamping plates 55 and disposed between the two clamping plates 55.

[0040] Preferably, the storage rack 3 is provided with an opening 3a for objects to enter and exit, and is provided with a plurality of partitions 9 arranged along the opening 3a and support bosses 10 for supporting objects. The support bosses 10 are provided at the lower ends of both sides of the partitions 9 and extend in the same direction as the partitions 9. The support bosses 10 support the bottom of the object, and the partitions 9 limit the sides of the object. By providing the support bosses 10, it is convenient to insert the support plate 56 into the gap between the two support bosses to lift the object, while the clamping plates 55 are inserted between the two partitions 9 from both sides to clamp the object, or the clamping plates 55 release the object from both sides, and the support plate 56 can directly and smoothly exit from the bottom gap. The simultaneous action of the three points can significantly improve the accuracy of the clamping mechanism 5 in clamping and releasing objects, and facilitate loading and unloading.
[0041] Specifically, the storage rack 3 includes a bottom plate, side plates and a back plate. Side plates are provided on the opposite sides of the bottom plate. A back plate fixed to the bottom plate is connected between the two side plates. The bottom plate is installed on the horizontal sliding mechanism 6. The partition plates 9 extend in the same direction as the side plates and are spaced apart on the bottom plate.
[0042] Specifically, support bosses 10 are positioned around the lower ends of partitions 9 on both sides. Partitions 9 extend laterally and are fixed to the back panel of storage rack 3.

[0043] Alternatively, the supporting boss 10 may be provided between two partitions 9 , and two supporting plates 56 are provided to fit in the gaps between the supporting boss 10 and the partitions.
[0044] Preferably, the horizontal sliding mechanism 6 includes a motor 61, a screw rod 62, a slider 63, and a guide rail 64. The motor 61 and guide rail 64 are mounted on the AGV 1. The screw rod 62 is mounted in the same direction above the guide rail 64. The motor 61 is rotatably connected to one end of the screw rod 62. The slider 64 is cooperatively mounted on the screw rod 62 and the guide rail 64. The storage rack 3 is mounted on the slider 64. The lifting mechanism 2 has the same structure as the horizontal sliding mechanism 6. In addition, the lifting mechanism 2 is mounted on a bracket, and the slider of the lifting mechanism 2 is provided with a support seat connected to the mounting seat 41.
[0045] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 2 is provided with a drag chain box 18 , in which a lifting drag chain 19 connected to the lower end of the support seat on the slider of the lifting mechanism 2 is fixed.
[0046] The present invention also provides a control method for a pickup manipulator based on an AGV, comprising the following steps:
[0047] The controller controls the rotating arm on the multi-axis robot arm 4 to rotate horizontally or vertically, so that the image acquisition unit 7 obtains the orientation information of the storage rack 3 and sends it to the controller;
[0048] The controller controls the rotation of the multi-axis robot arm 4 and the lifting mechanism 2 according to the acquired orientation information, so that the clamping mechanism 5 is horizontally aligned with the storage rack 3;
[0049] The storage rack 3 moves laterally to approach the clamping mechanism 5, so that the clamping mechanism 5 extends into the storage space of the storage rack 3. The clamping mechanism 5 controls the clamping plate 55 to clamp or release the file bag. The storage rack 3 moves laterally to move away from the clamping mechanism 5 to complete loading and unloading.
[0050] Specifically, the image acquisition unit 7 is a camera.
[0051] The working principle of the AGV-based pick-up manipulator provided by the present invention is as follows:
[0052] When extracting the file bag from the storage rack 3, the file bags to be stored on the file rack are manually placed one by one on the supporting boss 10 between the two partitions 9. The AGV trolley 1 moves to the file rack, and the corresponding rotating motor of the multi-axis robotic arm 4 is activated. The orientation information of the storage rack 3 is obtained through the camera. The multi-axis robotic arm 4 rotates and the lifting mechanism 2 adjusts the height of the multi-axis robotic arm 4 so that the clamping mechanism 5 is horizontally aligned with the storage rack 3. At this time, the slider 64 on the storage rack 3 slides along the screw rod 62 to the splint 55 and the support plate 56 and is inserted into the corresponding partition area of the storage rack 3. The electric cylinder 52 controls the splint 55 to clamp the file bag, and the motor 61 drives the screw rod 62 to rotate in the opposite direction. The slider 64 on the storage rack 3 slides along the screw rod 62 to move away from the clamping mechanism 5, so that the splint 55 can grab the file bag.
[0053] When the file bag needs to be temporarily stored on the storage rack 3, the multi-axis robot arm 4 rotates and the lifting mechanism 2 adjusts the height of the multi-axis robot arm 4, aligning the file bag on the splint 55 with the storage rack 3, and the motor 61 drives the screw rod 62 to rotate. The slider 64 on the storage rack 3 slides along the screw rod 62 to move closer to and away from the clamping mechanism 5, and continues to slide so that the splint 55 and the support plate 56 are inserted into the corresponding partition area of the storage rack 3. The electric cylinder 52 controls the splint 55 to loosen to release the file bag on the storage rack 3. The motor 61 drives the screw rod 62 to rotate in the opposite direction, and the slider 64 on the storage rack 3 slides along the screw rod 62 to move away from the clamping mechanism 5, thereby realizing the temporary storage of the file bag by the splint 55.

All technical solutions based on the concept of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

A control method for an AGV-based pickup manipulator, implemented using the AGV-based pickup manipulator according to any one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that: The steps include: The controller controls the rotating arm on the multi-axis robotic arm (4) to rotate horizontally or vertically, so that the image acquisition unit (7) obtains the orientation information of the storage rack (3) and sends it to the controller; The controller controls the rotation of the multi-axis robot arm (4) and the lifting and lowering movement of the lifting mechanism (2) based on the acquired orientation information, and adjusts the height of the multi-axis robot arm (4) so that the clamping mechanism (5) is horizontally aligned with the storage rack (3); The storage rack (3) moves laterally to approach the clamping mechanism (5), so that the clamping mechanism (5) extends into the storage space of the storage rack (3); When extracting the file bag from the storage rack (3), the storage rack (3) slides until the clamping plate (55) and the support plate (56) are inserted into the partition area corresponding to the storage rack (3), and the electric cylinder (52) controls the clamping plate (55) to clamp the file bag, so that the clamping plate (55) can grab the file bag, and the storage rack (3) moves laterally to move away from the clamping mechanism (5), completing the loading; When the file bag is temporarily stored on the storage rack (3), the storage rack (3) slides so that the clamping plate (55) and the supporting plate (56) are inserted into the corresponding partition area of the storage rack (3), and the electric cylinder (52) controls the clamping plate (55) to loosen to release the file bag on the storage rack (3). The storage rack (3) moves horizontally to move away from the clamping mechanism (5), completing the unloading.
8. The control method of the AGV-based picking robot according to claim 7, characterized in that: The image acquisition unit (7) is a camera.
