Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, and specifically relates to a method for grasping and flipping materials. Background Art

[0002] Engineering robots are quite similar to handling robots in the logistics industry. Both need to achieve clamping and handling of regular objects within a certain weight at different heights. Through automation, intelligent logistics can be realized. For example, in scenarios such as ports and logistics centers, fully automated logistics can be achieved. As disclosed in Chinese Patent Application No. CN202220569739.4, publication date July 5, 2022, it specifically discloses a global positioning handling robot, which specifically includes a chassis. Power devices for assisting the robot to move omnidirectionally are fixedly installed on both sides of the chassis, and cargo holds are installed on both sides. A robotic arm device for completing the grasping action is installed at the front end of the upper surface of the chassis, and a single-chip microcomputer is installed at the rear end of the upper surface of the chassis. The setting of the shock absorption mechanism in the power device of the present utility model can reduce the vibration when the robot is running. When the terrain where the robot is located is uneven or the environment has vibrations, the supporting force received by the Mecanum wheels is transmitted to the shock absorption spring of the shock absorber through the shock absorption plate. At this time, the shock absorber is compressed by the force, and the parallelogram mechanism of the shock absorption device deforms, so that the Mecanum wheels always keep in close contact with the ground, avoiding slipping and improving the terrain adaptability of the robot. At the same time, the shock absorption mechanism can reduce the impact of undulating vibrations during the operation of the robot and increase the stability of the robot. However, the handling robot with this structure only grabs goods through the manipulator and cannot turn over the box-shaped materials being transported. At the same time, the moving direction of the gripper of the existing handling robot is fixed, and it can only clamp the box-shaped materials in one direction, that is, it can only approach the box-shaped materials from top to bottom to clamp, or approach the box-shaped materials from left to right to clamp. It cannot clamp the box-shaped materials in different directions, and it is easy to be restricted by site factors when in use and cannot pick up the box-shaped materials. At the same time, the gripper cannot catch the materials falling from the air. When the gripper grabs the box-shaped materials, it needs to open the gripper, then move the gripper so that the box-shaped materials are located between the two claw teeth of the gripper, and then close the gripper to achieve the grasping of the box-shaped materials. The action of the gripper when grabbing the box-shaped materials is cumbersome. At the same time, the existing engineering vehicle cannot rescue other robots. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The grasping device includes a grasping mounting bracket, a grasping driving device, a grasping rotating bracket and a suction attachment; the grasping mounting bracket is connected to the movable end of the telescopic device, the grasping driving device is fixed on the grasping mounting bracket and is connected to the grasping rotating bracket, and the suction attachment is mounted on the grasping rotating bracket; the grasping driving device drives the grasping rotating bracket to rotate, and the grasping rotating bracket drives the suction attachment to approach and move away from the flipping seat.

[0007] The method for grasping and flipping materials includes the following steps:

[0008] S1. Judge whether the box-shaped material is within the moving range of the grasping device during lifting. If so, proceed to S2.

[0009] S2. The moving device drives the frame to move to one side of the box-shaped material.

[0010] S3. Judge whether the suction attachment of the grasping device can contact the opposite side of the box-shaped material. If so, proceed to S4; if not, proceed to S6.

[0011] S4. The grasping and rotating bracket drives the adsorbing member to rotate away from the flipping device, so that the adsorbing surface of the adsorbing member is parallel to the side opposite to the box-shaped material; the lifting device drives the adsorbing member to move to the same horizontal height as the box-shaped material; then the telescopic movable bracket extends to make the adsorbing member contact the box-shaped material.

[0012] S5. The adsorbing member adsorbs the box-shaped material, and then the telescopic movable bracket retracts; then S12 is performed.

[0013] S6. If the box-shaped material is above the grasping device, S7 is performed; if the box-shaped material is below the grasping device, S9 is performed.

[0014] S7. The telescopic movable bracket extends to make the adsorbing member directly below the box-shaped material, and the grasping and rotating bracket rotates away from the flipping device, so that the adsorbing surface of the adsorbing member corresponds to the bottom of the box-shaped material; the lifting device drives the adsorbing member to rise and contact the box-shaped material; then S8 is performed.

[0015] S8. The lifting device drives the adsorbing member to descend, and then the telescopic movable bracket retracts; then S11 is performed.

[0016] S9. The telescopic movable bracket extends to make the adsorbing member directly above the box-shaped material, and the grasping and rotating bracket drives the adsorbing member to rotate away from the flipping device, so that the adsorbing surface of the adsorbing member corresponds to the top of the box-shaped material; the lifting device drives the adsorbing member to descend and contact the box-shaped material; then S10 is performed.

[0017] S10. The lifting device drives the adsorbing member to rise, and then the telescopic movable bracket retracts; then S11 is performed.

[0018] S11. The grasping and rotating bracket drives the adsorbing member to rotate towards the flipping device. When the box-shaped material contacts the flipping support member, the adsorbing member releases the adsorption of the box-shaped material; then the grasping and rotating bracket rotates away from the flipping device; then S12 is performed.

[0019] S12. The flipping drive device drives the flipping support member to move away from the grasping device. When the flipping support member slides along the arc-shaped chute, the flipping support member gradually rotates counterclockwise; then S13 is performed.

[0020] S13. When the flipping support member slides to the end of the arc-shaped chute away from the grasping device, the flipping support member rotates counterclockwise by an angle A; the rotation of the flipping support member drives the box-shaped material to turn over; then S14 is performed.

[0021] S14. The grasping and rotating bracket drives the adsorbing member to rotate towards the flipping device, and the adsorbing member adsorbs the box-shaped material that has been turned over.

[0022] S15. Move the mobile device to drive the frame to move to the target point; the suction attachment drives the box-shaped material to rotate away from the flipping device and places the box-shaped material on the contact surface at the target point.

[0023] In the above method, the grasping rotating bracket drives the suction attachment to rotate, so that the suction attachment can contact box-shaped materials at different heights and positions; when there is no obstacle between the suction attachment and the box-shaped material, one side surface of the suction attachment contacts the box-shaped material, which has high efficiency; when the box-shaped material is above or below the suction attachment and there is no obstacle between the suction attachment and the box-shaped material; the height of the suction attachment is changed through the lifting device; so that the suction attachment can contact one side surface of the box-shaped materials at different heights; realizing the grasping of box-shaped materials at different heights.

[0024] When the box-shaped material is above or below the suction attachment and there is an obstacle between the suction attachment and the box-shaped material; the grasping rotating bracket changes the contact position between the suction attachment and the box-shaped material; when the box-shaped material is above the suction attachment, the suction attachment contacts the bottom of the box-shaped material; when the box-shaped material is below the suction attachment, the suction attachment contacts the top of the box-shaped material; then the lifting device drives the suction attachment and the box-shaped material to move, and thus can grasp the box-shaped material over the obstacle.

[0025] At the same time, the box-shaped material moves into the flipping device, and the flipping device flips the box-shaped material; in this way, the surface position of the box-shaped material taken out from the flipping device by the suction attachment will change.

[0026] Further, a support member with a hollow structure is provided in the suction attachment.

[0027] Further, S2 also includes: if the box-shaped material is not within the moving range of the grasping device's lifting, then perform S16.

[0028] S16. If the box-shaped material is above the suction attachment, then perform S17.

[0029] S17. The telescopic movable bracket extends, so that the suction attachment is located directly below the box-shaped material, the grasping rotating bracket rotates away from the flipping device, so that the adsorption surface of the suction attachment corresponds to the bottom of the box-shaped material; the lifting device drives the suction attachment to rise to the highest height; the suction attachment performs adsorption; then perform S18.

[0030] S18. The clamping device that clamps the upper box-shaped material releases the clamping of the box-shaped material; the box-shaped material approaches the suction attachment under the action of gravity; then perform S19.

[0031] S19. When the box-shaped material contacts the suction attachment, the support member supports the box-shaped material; under the suction force of the suction attachment, the box-shaped material is adsorbed on the suction attachment; then perform S8.

[0032] The above method can grasp box-shaped materials falling from a high altitude; since the box-shaped materials will deform the suction attachment when hitting the suction attachment under the action of gravity, which will cause the suction attachment to be unable to adsorb the box-shaped materials; by setting a support member to increase the stiffness of the suction attachment and support the box-shaped materials through the support member; avoiding the box-shaped materials hitting the suction attachment under the action of gravity and deforming the suction attachment.

[0033] Further, the telescopic device includes a telescopic fixed bracket, a telescopic movable bracket, a first telescopic driving device, and a second telescopic driving device; one end of the telescopic movable bracket is connected to the grasping device; the telescopic movable bracket is arranged above the telescopic fixed bracket and is slidably connected to the telescopic fixed bracket; the fixed end of the first telescopic driving device is connected to the telescopic fixed bracket, the movable end of the first telescopic driving device is connected to the fixed end of the second telescopic driving device, and the movable end of the second telescopic driving device is connected to the telescopic movable bracket; the first telescopic driving device is used to drive the telescopic movable bracket to move, and the second telescopic driving device is used to drive the telescopic movable bracket to move relative to the first telescopic driving device.

[0034] With the above settings, the telescopic movable bracket is driven by the first telescopic driving device to perform the first extension, and the telescopic movable bracket is driven by the second telescopic driving device to perform the second extension; the moving distance of the telescopic movable bracket is far; thus, the grasping range of the grasping device is far.

[0035] Further, in S4, S7, and S9, the extension of the telescopic movable bracket specifically is: the first telescopic driving device drives the telescopic movable bracket to perform the first extension, and the second telescopic driving device drives the telescopic movable bracket to perform the second extension;

[0036] In S5, S8, and S10, the retraction of the telescopic movable bracket specifically is: the first telescopic driving device drives the telescopic movable bracket to perform the first retraction, and the second telescopic driving device drives the telescopic movable bracket to perform the second retraction.

[0037] Further, the lifting device includes a lifting fixed bracket, a lifting movable bracket, a lifting driving device, and a transmission component; the lifting fixed bracket is fixedly connected to the frame, and the lifting movable bracket is slidably connected to the lifting fixed bracket and the flipping device.

[0038] The transmission component includes a first lifting transmission wheel, a second lifting transmission wheel, a lifting synchronous belt, a first synchronous belt fixing member, and a second synchronous belt fixing member; the output end of the lifting driving device passes through the first lifting transmission wheel and is connected to one end of the lifting movable bracket, and the second lifting transmission wheel is rotatably arranged at the other end of the lifting movable bracket; the lifting synchronous belt is sleeved on the first lifting transmission wheel and the second lifting transmission wheel.

[0039] One end of the first synchronous belt fixing member is fixedly connected to the lifting fixing bracket, and the other end of the first synchronous belt fixing member is clamped on the lifting synchronous sleeve on one side of the first lifting transmission wheel and the second lifting transmission wheel; the second synchronous belt fixing member sleevs the lifting synchronous belt on the other side of the first lifting transmission wheel and the second lifting transmission wheel and is fixed on the flipping bracket; the transmission assembly is used to drive the lifting movable bracket and the flipping device to lift synchronously.

[0040] With the above settings, the flipping device is driven to lift by the lifting device, and then the grasping device is driven to lift; in this way, the grasping device can grasp box-shaped materials at different heights; since the flipping device lifts synchronously with the grasping device, the cooperation effect between the grasping device and the flipping device is good; the lifting synchronous belt sleeve on one side of the transmission assembly is connected to the lifting fixing bracket, and the transmission assembly rotates in one direction to drive the lifting synchronous belt to move. The first synchronous belt fixing member approaches the bottom end of the lifting fixing bracket, and the first synchronous belt fixing member generates a force to drive the lifting fixing bracket to move downward; since the lifting fixing bracket is fixed on the frame and cannot move, and the transmission assembly is arranged on the lifting movable bracket, and the lifting movable bracket is slidably connected to the lifting fixing bracket, this will drive the lifting movable bracket to move upward, making the first synchronous belt fixing member move downward relative to the first lifting transmission wheel, and then realizing the rise of the lifting movable bracket.

[0041] The transmission assembly rotates the lifting synchronous belt sleeve in the other direction, the first synchronous belt fixing member approaches the top end of the lifting fixing bracket, and the first synchronous belt fixing member generates a force to drive the lifting fixing bracket to move upward; since the lifting fixing bracket is fixed on the frame and cannot move, and the transmission assembly is arranged on the lifting movable bracket, and the lifting movable bracket is slidably connected to the lifting fixing bracket, this will drive the lifting movable bracket to move downward, making the first synchronous belt fixing member move upward relative to the first lifting transmission wheel, and then realizing the descent of the lifting movable bracket.

[0042] At the same time, a second synchronous belt fixing member is connected to the lifting synchronous belt sleeve on the other side of the transmission assembly. When the lifting movable bracket rises, the first synchronous belt fixing member moves downward relative to the first lifting transmission wheel. In this way, the second synchronous belt fixing member moves upward relative to the first lifting transmission wheel, and the flipping bracket rises at the same time; when the lifting movable bracket descends, the first synchronous belt fixing member moves upward relative to the first lifting transmission wheel. In this way, the second synchronous belt fixing member moves downward relative to the first lifting transmission wheel, and the flipping bracket descends at the same time; the flipping bracket moves based on the movement of the lifting movable bracket, and the lifting height range of the flipping bracket is large.

In this embodiment, there are two lifting devices 2, and the grasping device 1 is located between the two lifting devices 2; the two lifting devices 2 are connected to the grasping device 1 and drive the grasping device 1 to lift and lower. As Figure 3 、 4 shown; the grasping device 1 includes a telescopic device 11, a flipping device 12, and a grasping device 13. The grasping device 13 is located on one side of the flipping device 12; the fixed end of the telescopic device 11 is connected to the flipping device 12, and the movable end of the telescopic device 11 is connected to the grasping device 13.

By providing the avoidance space 1215 for accommodating the box-shaped material and the flipping device 12; this can reduce the volume of the flipping device 12; at the same time, it can prevent the box-shaped material from falling off the flipping support member 1233 when the flipping support member 1233 turns over the box-shaped material.

[0078] As Figure 6 , 14 As shown in FIGS. 15; locking members 1217 are provided on both sides of the flipping fixing member 1211 and on both sides of the flipping positioning member 1212. A first through hole 12171 vertically penetrating the locking member 1217 and a second through hole 12172 horizontally penetrating the locking member 1217 are provided on the locking member 1217; two locking members 1217 on one side are connected to a flipping track 124; two locking members 1217 on the other side are connected to another flipping track 124; the first through hole 12171 is aligned with a first threaded hole (not shown in the figure) on the flipping fixing member 1211 and a second threaded hole (not shown in the figure) on the flipping positioning member 1212; the second through hole 12172 is aligned with a third threaded hole 1242 on the flipping track 124; a bolt passes through the first through hole 12171 and is connected to the first threaded hole to fix the locking member 1217 on the flipping fixing member 1211, a bolt passes through the first through hole 12171 and is connected to the second threaded hole to fix the locking member 1217 on the flipping positioning member 1212, and a bolt passes through the second through hole 12172 and is connected to the third threaded hole 1242 to lock the flipping track 124 on the locking member 1217; thus, a stable connection between the flipping track 124 and the flipping fixing member 1211 and the flipping positioning member 1212 is achieved.

[0079] Two fixed support members 1218 are provided at one end of the flipping fixing member 1211 away from the grasping device 13, and a first card slot 12181 is provided at the top of each fixed support member 1218; the first card slot 12181 is clamped on one end of the flipping positioning member 1212 away from the grasping device 13. In another embodiment, two second card slots 12182 are provided at one end of the flipping positioning member 1212 away from the grasping device 13; the first card slot 12181 is engaged with the second card slot 12182. By engaging the first card slot 12181 with the flipping positioning member 1212, the connection stability between the flipping fixing member 1211 and the flipping positioning member 1212 is further improved.

[0080] As Figure 6 and Figure 15As shown, the flipping drive device 122 is arranged at the bottom of the flipping fixed seat 1231; in this embodiment, the flipping drive device 122 is a rodless cylinder; the flipping drive device 122 includes a flipping drive support 1221, a flipping drive cylinder block 1222, and a flipping drive slider 1223; the flipping drive support 1221 is connected to the flipping fixed seat 1231, the flipping drive cylinder block 1222 is arranged on the flipping fixed seat 1231, and the flipping drive slider 1223 is inserted through the flipping drive cylinder block 1222 and is slidably arranged on the flipping drive cylinder block 1222; a connection hole 1219 is provided on the flipping fixing member 1211, and one end of the flipping drive slider 1223 passes through the connection hole 1219 and is connected to the flipping fixed seat 1231. The flipping seat 123 is driven to move by the movement of the flipping drive slider 1223. By connecting the flipping drive slider 1223 to the flipping fixed seat 1231, the rotation of the flipping drive slider 1223 during movement is avoided; a guiding effect is exerted on the movement of the flipping drive slider 1223.

[0081] The flipping device 12 flips the box-shaped material; through the vertically arranged flipping first supporting plate 1236 and flipping second supporting plate 1237, the flipping supporting member 1233 can simultaneously contact the adjacent surfaces of the box-shaped material, and the flipping supporting member 1233 can support the bottom surface of the box-shaped material before and after flipping; when the box-shaped material is not flipped, the box-shaped material is supported by the flipping second supporting plate 1237, and when the box-shaped material is flipped, the box-shaped material is supported by the flipping first supporting plate 1236; the box-shaped material is prevented from separating from the flipping supporting member 1233 under the action of gravity.

[0082] At the same time, since the flipping supporting member 1233 is rotatably arranged on the flipping fixed seat 1231, and the flipping supporting member 1233 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped chute 1241 through the flipping sliding member 1238, the movement of the flipping supporting member 1233 is restricted by the arc-shaped chute 1241.

[0083] Refer to Figure 8-10As shown; when the flipping support member 1233 moves away from the grasping device 13, under the guiding action of the arc-shaped chute 1241, the flipping support member 1233 rotates counterclockwise, and the flipping support member 1233 changes from the state where the first flipping support plate 1236 is above the second flipping support plate 1237 to the state where the second flipping support plate 1237 is above the first flipping support plate 1236; when the flipping support member 1233 moves towards the grasping device 13, under the guiding action of the arc-shaped chute 1241, the flipping support member 1233 rotates clockwise, and the flipping support member 1233 changes from the state where the second flipping support plate 1237 is above the first flipping support plate 1236 to the state where the first flipping support plate 1236 is above the second flipping support plate 1237. That is, the box-shaped material is flipped from the state where the A side is on the left and the B side is on the top to the state where the B side is on the left and the A side is on the bottom; in this way, the box-shaped material can be flipped clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0085] The fixed end of the first telescopic driving device 113 is connected to the telescopic fixed bracket 111, the movable end of the first telescopic driving device 113 is connected to the fixed end of the second telescopic driving device 114, and the movable end of the second telescopic driving device 114 is connected to the telescopic movable bracket 112; the first telescopic driving device 113 is used to drive the telescopic movable bracket 112 to move, and the second telescopic driving device 114 is used to drive the telescopic movable bracket 112 to move relative to the first telescopic driving device 113. The first telescopic driving device 113 drives the telescopic movable bracket 112 to perform the first extension, and the second telescopic driving device 114 drives the telescopic movable bracket 112 to perform the second extension; the moving distance of the telescopic movable bracket 112 is far; thus, the grasping range of the grasping device 13 is far.

[0086] In this embodiment, the telescopic first driving device 113 is a rodless cylinder; the telescopic first driving device 113 includes a telescopic first fixed seat 1131, a telescopic first cylinder block 1132, and a telescopic first slider 1133; the telescopic movable bracket 112 is located between the telescopic first slider 1133 and the telescopic fixed bracket 111; one end of the telescopic first fixed seat 1131 is connected to the telescopic fixed bracket 111, and the telescopic first cylinder block 1132 is arranged at the other end of the telescopic first fixed seat 1131; the telescopic first slider 1133 is sleeved on the telescopic first cylinder block 1132 and is slidably arranged on the telescopic first cylinder block 1132.

[0087] The telescopic second driving device 114 includes a telescopic second fixed seat 1141, a telescopic second cylinder 1142, and a telescopic third fixed seat 1143; the fixed end of the telescopic second cylinder 1142 is connected to the telescopic second fixed seat 1141, and the telescopic second fixed seat 1141 is connected to the telescopic first slider 1133; the movable end of the telescopic second cylinder 1142 is connected to the telescopic third fixed seat 1143, and the telescopic third fixed seat 1143 is connected to the telescopic movable bracket 112.

At the same time, the telescopic second fixed seat 1141 is connected to the telescopic movable bracket 112 through the telescopic second cylinder and the telescopic third fixed seat 1143; this prevents the telescopic first slider 1133 from rotating during movement; it plays a guiding role in the movement of the telescopic first slider 1133.

[0089] In another embodiment, the telescopic device 11 further includes a pulley 1152 assembly 115. The pulley 1152 assembly 115 is arranged at one end of the telescopic movable bracket 112 away from the grasping device 13; the pulley 1152 assembly 115 includes a pulley bracket 1151, and one or more rotatable pulleys 1152 are provided on both sides of the pulley bracket 1151; the pulley 1152 abuts against the bottom of the telescopic first slider 1133. When the telescopic first driving device 113 drives the telescopic movable bracket 112 to move, the telescopic movable bracket 112 moves synchronously with the telescopic first slider 1133; since the telescopic first slider moves synchronously with the telescopic movable bracket 112, at this time, the telescopic first slider 1133 does not have sliding friction with the telescopic movable bracket 112; when the telescopic second driving device 114 drives the telescopic movable bracket 112 to move, the telescopic movable bracket 112 moves relative to the telescopic first slider 1133; by arranging the pulley 1152 assembly 115 at one end of the telescopic movable bracket 112 away from the grasping device 13, the friction force received by the telescopic first slider 1133 during movement is reduced.

[0091] In this embodiment, a slide rail is provided on the lifting fixed bracket 21, and a slider is provided on the side of the lifting movable bracket 22 close to the lifting fixed bracket 21; a slider is provided on the turning bracket 121. A slide rail is provided on the side of the lifting movable bracket 22 close to the turning bracket 121; the slider is slidably arranged on the slide rail; thus, a sliding connection is realized between the lifting movable bracket 22 and the lifting fixed bracket 21, and between the lifting movable bracket 22 and the turning bracket 121.

[0092] There are two lifting fixed brackets 21, two lifting movable brackets 22 and two transmission assemblies 24; the two lifting movable brackets 22 are located between the two lifting fixed brackets 21, and a lifting drive support member 25 is connected between the two lifting movable brackets 22.

[0094] One end of the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 is fixedly connected to the lifting fixed bracket 21, and the other end of the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 is clamped on the lifting synchronous belt 243 on one side of the first lifting transmission wheel 241 and the second lifting transmission wheel 242; refer to Figure 4 and 15 As shown; the second synchronous belt fixing member 245 sleeves and fixes the lifting synchronous belt 243 on the other side of the first lifting transmission wheel 241 and the second lifting transmission wheel 242 on the turning bracket 121; the transmission assembly 24 is used to drive the lifting movable bracket 22 and the turning device 12 to lift synchronously.

[0096] The lifting device 2 drives the tipping device 12 to lift, and further drives the grasping device 13 to lift; in this way, the grasping device 13 can grasp box-shaped materials at different heights; the tipping device 12 is lifted synchronously with the grasping device 13, and the cooperation effect between the grasping device 13 and the tipping device 12 is good; the lifting synchronous belt 243 sleeve on one side of the transmission assembly 24 is connected to the lifting fixed bracket 21, and the transmission assembly 24 rotates in one direction to drive the lifting synchronous belt 243 to move, referring to Figure 17 the W direction in; the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 approaches the bottom end of the lifting fixed bracket 21, and the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 generates a force to drive the lifting fixed bracket 21 to move downward; since the lifting fixed bracket 21 is fixed on the frame 10, the lifting fixed bracket 21 cannot move, while the transmission assembly 24 is arranged on the lifting movable bracket 22, and the lifting movable bracket 22 is slidably connected to the lifting fixed bracket 21, this will drive the lifting movable bracket 22 to move upward, making the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 move downward relative to the first lifting transmission wheel 241, and then realizing the rising of the lifting movable bracket 22.

[0097] The transmission assembly 24 rotates the lifting synchronous belt 243 in the other direction, referring to Figure 17 the Q direction in; the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 approaches the top end of the lifting fixed bracket 21, and the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 generates a force to drive the lifting fixed bracket 21 to move upward; since the lifting fixed bracket 21 is fixed on the frame 10, the lifting fixed bracket 21 cannot move, while the transmission assembly 24 is arranged on the lifting movable bracket 22, and the lifting movable bracket 22 is slidably connected to the lifting fixed bracket 21, this will drive the lifting movable bracket 22 to move downward, making the first synchronous belt fixing member 244 move upward relative to the first lifting transmission wheel 241, and then realizing the descending of the lifting movable bracket 22.

[0098] At the same time, a second synchronous belt fixing part 245 is connected to the lifting synchronous belt 243 on the other side of the transmission component 24, because the first synchronous belt fixing part 244 is connected to the lifting synchronous belt 243 on one side of the lifting first transmission wheel 241; the second synchronous belt fixing part 245 is connected to the lifting synchronous belt 243 on the other side of the lifting first transmission wheel 241; when the lifting movable bracket 22 rises, the first synchronous belt fixing part 244 moves downward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel 241, so that the second synchronous belt fixing part 245 moves upward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel 241, and the flip bracket 121 rises at the same time; when the lifting movable bracket 22 descends, the first synchronous belt fixing part 244 moves upward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel 241, so that the second synchronous belt fixing part 245 moves downward relative to the lifting first transmission wheel 241, and the flip bracket 121 descends at the same time; the flip bracket 121 moves on the basis of the movement of the lifting movable bracket 22, and the lifting height amplitude of the flip bracket 121 is large.

[0099] like Figure 1 As shown; there is also a moving device 4 at the bottom of the frame 10; the moving device 4 is used to drive the frame 10 to move. The frame 10 is driven to move by the moving device, so that the engineering vehicle approaches the box-shaped material. The moving device 4 includes four sets of moving wheels, each set of moving wheels is driven by an independent motor.

[0100] The method for grabbing and flipping materials includes the following steps:

[0101] S1. Determine whether the box-shaped material is within the lifting range of the grabbing device 13. If so, proceed to S2. In this embodiment, it is manually determined whether the box-shaped material is within the lifting range of the grabbing device 13.

[0102] S2. The moving device 4 drives the frame 10 to move to one side of the box-shaped material.

[0103] S3, determine whether the adsorption component 134 of the grasping device 1313 can contact the side opposite to the box-shaped material. If so, proceed to S4; if not, proceed to S6. In this embodiment, it is manually determined whether the adsorption component 134 can contact the side opposite to the box-shaped material.

[0104] S4, grab the rotating bracket 133 to drive the adsorbent 134 to rotate away from the avoidance space 1215, so that the adsorption surface of the adsorbent 134 is parallel to the side opposite to the box-shaped material; drive the adsorbent 134 to move to the same level as the box-shaped material through the lifting device 2; then extend the telescopic movable bracket 112 to make the adsorbent 134 contact with the box-shaped material;

[0105] S5, the adsorption member 134 adsorbs the box-shaped material, and then the telescopic movable bracket 112 retracts; then S12 is performed;

[0106] S6. If the box-shaped material is above the grasping device 13, proceed to S7; if the box-shaped material is below the grasping device 13, proceed to S9.

[0107] S7. The telescopic movable bracket 112 extends, so that the suction attachment 134 is located directly below the box-shaped material. The grasping rotating bracket 133 rotates away from the avoidance space 1215, so that the adsorption surface of the suction attachment 134 corresponds to the bottom of the box-shaped material. The lifting device drives the suction attachment 134 to rise and contact the box-shaped material; then proceed to S8.

[0108] S8. The lifting device drives the suction attachment 134 to descend, and then the telescopic movable bracket 112 retracts; then proceed to S11.

[0109] S9. The telescopic movable bracket 112 extends, so that the suction attachment 134 is located directly above the box-shaped material. The grasping rotating bracket 133 drives the suction attachment 134 to rotate away from the avoidance space 1215, so that the adsorption surface of the suction attachment 134 corresponds to the top of the box-shaped material. The lifting device drives the suction attachment 134 to descend and contact the box-shaped material; then proceed to S10.

[0110] S10. The lifting device drives the suction attachment 134 to rise, and then the telescopic movable bracket 112 retracts; then proceed to S11.

[0111] S11. The grasping rotating bracket 133 drives the suction attachment 134 to rotate towards the avoidance space 1215. When the box-shaped material contacts the flipping support member, the suction attachment 134 releases the adsorption of the box-shaped material; then the grasping rotating bracket 133 rotates away from the avoidance space 1215; then proceed to S12.

[0112] S12. The flipping drive device drives the flipping support member to move away from the grasping device 13. When the flipping support member slides along the arc-shaped chute, the flipping support member gradually rotates counterclockwise; then proceed to S13.

[0113] S13. When the flipping support member slides to the end of the arc-shaped chute away from the grasping device, the flipping support member rotates counterclockwise by an angle A; the rotation of the flipping support member drives the box-shaped material to turn over.

[0114] S14. The grasping rotating bracket 133 drives the suction attachment 134 to rotate towards the avoidance space 1215, and the suction attachment 134 adsorbs the box-shaped material that has been turned over; then proceed to S15.

[0115] S15. The moving device drives the frame to move to the target point; the suction attachment 134 drives the box-shaped material to rotate away from the avoidance space 1215 and places the box-shaped material on the contact surface of the target point.

[0116] In the above method, the grabbing rotating bracket drives the adsorption element to rotate, so that the adsorption element can contact the box-type materials at different heights and different positions; when there is no obstacle between the adsorption element and the box-type material, the adsorption element contacts the opposite side of the box-type material, which is highly efficient; when the box-type material is located above or below the adsorption element, and there is no obstacle between the adsorption element and the box-type material; the height of the adsorption element is changed by the lifting device; so that the adsorption element can contact the opposite side of the box-type material at different heights; and the box-type materials at different heights can be grabbed.

[0117] When the box-shaped material is located above or below the adsorbent and there is an obstacle between the adsorbent and the box-shaped material; the grabbing and rotating bracket changes the contact position of the adsorbent with the box-shaped material; when the box-shaped material is located above the adsorbent, the adsorbent contacts the bottom of the box-shaped material; when the box-shaped material is located below the adsorbent, the adsorbent contacts the top of the box-shaped material; then the adsorbent and the box-shaped material are driven to move by the lifting device, so that the box-shaped material can be grabbed by crossing the obstacle.

[0118] At the same time, the box-shaped material moves to the turning device, and the box-shaped material is turned over by the turning device; thus, the surface position of the box-shaped material when the adsorbent is taken out of the turning device will change.

[0119] In the above method,

[0120] S2 also includes: if the box-shaped material is not within the lifting range of the grabbing device 13, then proceed to S16;

[0121] S16: If the box-shaped material is located above the adsorption member, proceed to S17.

[0122] S17, the telescopic movable bracket 112 is extended to make the adsorbent 134 located directly below the box-shaped material, and the grabbing rotating bracket 133 is rotated away from the avoidance space 1215, so that the adsorption surface of the adsorbent 134 corresponds to the bottom of the box-shaped material; the lifting device drives the adsorbent 134 to rise to the highest height; the adsorbent performs adsorption. Then S18 is performed.

[0123] S18, the clamping device clamping the upper box-shaped material releases the clamping of the box-shaped material; the box-shaped material moves toward the adsorption member under the action of gravity. Then, S19 is performed.

[0124] S19, when the box-shaped material contacts the adsorption member, the support member supports the box-shaped material; under the suction force of the adsorption member, the box-shaped material is adsorbed on the adsorption member; then S8 is performed.

[0125] The above method can grasp box-shaped materials falling from a high altitude; since the box-shaped materials will deform the suction attachment when hitting the suction attachment under the action of gravity, which will in turn cause the suction attachment to be unable to adsorb the box-shaped materials; by setting up a support member to increase the stiffness of the suction attachment and using the support member to support the box-shaped materials; this avoids the box-shaped materials hitting the suction attachment under the action of gravity and deforming the suction attachment.
